java jaxb 注解,在JAXB，如何使用@XmlJavaTypeAdapters注解？

I want to change "javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar" to "java.util.Date" when unmarshalling from xml to Java class of JAXB.

But I don't put any annotations of @XmlJavaTypeAdapter in Java classes.

So, I'm going to try to use an annotation of @XmlJavaTypeAdapters, but I don't know how to use it...

Please show me examples for using it.

As an interesting aside, you don't actually need to adapt XMLGregorianCalendar to Date, since JAXB supports java.util.Date natively -- like this:

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)

@XmlRootElement

public class Example {

@XmlSchemaType(name = "date")

public Date publishingDate;

}

If you need it, @XmlJavaTypeAdapter can work like this, assuming your custom class:

public class SillyDate {

public SillyDate(int year, int month, int day) {

super();

this.year = year;

this.month = month;

this.day = day;

}

public String toString() {

return "SillyDate [year=" + year + ", month=" + month + ", day=" + day + "]";

}

public int year;

public int month;

public int day;

}

You need a class which JAXB can understand, and then write an adapter between that class and the custom class, like this:

public class SillyDateAdapter extends XmlAdapter {

public SillyDate unmarshal(XMLGregorianCalendar val) throws Exception {

return new SillyDate(val.getYear(), val.getMonth(), val.getDay());

}

public XMLGregorianCalendar marshal(SillyDate val) throws Exception {

return DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendarDate(val.year, val.month, val.day, 0);

}

}

Now you can use that in your own classes, like this:

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)

@XmlRootElement

public class Example2 {

@XmlSchemaType(name = "date")

@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(type=XMLGregorianCalendar.class,value =SillyDateAdapter.class)

public SillyDate publishingDate;

}

There are plenty of good examples of using the @XmlJavaTypeAdapter available on the net, like this one and this one, and several others. Happy adapting!
