I have a Customer and CustomerFullAddress class and i am using JAXB to try to produce an XML file <Customer CustomerID="GREAL"> <CompanyName>Great Lakes Food Market</CompanyName> <ContactName>Howard Snyder</ContactName> <ContactTitle>Marketing Manager</ContactTitle> <Phone>(503) 555-7555</Phone> <FullAddress> <Address>2732 Baker Blvd.</Address> <City>Eugene</City> <Region>OR</Region> <PostalCode>97403</PostalCode> <Country>USA</Country> </FullAddress> </Customer> The Customer Class looks like below (Its not a full implementation) package org.abc.customers; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType; @XmlRootElement(name = "customer") @XmlType (propOrder = { "companyName", "contactName", "contactTitle", "phone" }) public class Customer { *@XmlElement(name = "customerfulladdress") private CustomerFullAddress custAdd;* private String companyName; private String contactName; private String contactTitle; private int phone; public CustomerFullAddress getCustAddress() { return custAdd; } public void setCustAddress(CustomerFullAddress custAdd) { this.custAdd = custAdd; } ... While the CustomerFullAddress is package org.abc.customers; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType; @XmlRootElement(name = "customerfulladdress") //If you want you can define the order in which the fields are written //Optional @XmlType(propOrder = { "address", "city", "region", "postalCode", "country" }) public class CustomerFullAddress { private String address; ... public String getAddress() { return address; } public void setAddress(String address) { this.address = address; } ..... } and the error is Exception in thread "main" com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 2 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions Property custAdd is present but not specified in @XmlType.propOrder this problem is related to the following location: at private org.abc.customers.CustomerFullAddress org.abc.customers.Customer.custAdd at org.abc.customers.Customer Property custAddress is present but not specified in @XmlType.propOrder this problem is related to the following location: at public org.abc.customers.CustomerFullAddress org.abc.customers.Customer.getCustAddress() at org.abc.customers.Customer Thanks for having a look! java  xml  jaxb share improve this question asked  Apr 10 '12 at 18:48 LivingThing 929 1 20 44

From the JavaDoc for @XmlType: propOrder All of the JavaBean properties being mapped to XML Schema elements must be listed. You need to add the CustomerFullAddress property to the propOrder for Customer. share improve this answer answered  Apr 10 '12 at 18:59 darrengorman 4,512 1 15 19
