Maps a Java type to a simple schema built-in type.

Usage

@XmlSchemaType annotation can be used with the following program elements:

  • a JavaBean property
  • field
  • package

@XmlSchemaType annotation defined for Java type applies to all references to the Java type from a property/field. A @XmlSchemaType annotation specified on the property/field overrides the @XmlSchemaType annotation specified at the package level.

This annotation can be used with the following annotations: XmlElement, XmlAttribute.

Example 1: Customize mapping of XMLGregorianCalendar on the field.

 //Example: Code fragment public class USPrice { @XmlElement @XmlSchemaType(name="date") public XMLGregorianCalendar date; } 
    <!-- Example: Local XML Schema element -->
    <xs:complexType name="USPrice"/>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="date" type="xs:date"/>
      </sequence>
    </xs:complexType>

Example 2: Customize mapping of XMLGregorianCalendar at package level

    package foo;
    @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchemaType(
         name="date", type=javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar.class)
    }
