Usage

* *

The @XmlEnumValue annotation can be used with the * following program elements: *

* *

See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for * additional common information.

* *

This annotation, together with {@link XmlEnum} provides a * mapping of enum type to XML representation. * *

An enum type is mapped to a schema simple type with enumeration * facets. The schema type is derived from the Java type specified in * @XmlEnum.value(). Each enum constant @XmlEnumValue * must have a valid lexical representation for the type * @XmlEnum.value() * *

In the absence of this annotation, {@link Enum#name()} is used * as the XML representation. * *

Example 1: Map enum constant name -> enumeration facet

*
 *     //Example: Code fragment
 *     @XmlEnum(String.class)
 *     public enum Card { CLUBS, DIAMONDS, HEARTS, SPADES }
 *
 *     <!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
 *     <xs:simpleType name="Card">
 *       <xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
 *         <xs:enumeration value="CLUBS"/>
 *         <xs:enumeration value="DIAMONDS"/>
 *         <xs:enumeration value="HEARTS"/>
 *         <xs:enumeration value="SPADES"/>
 *     </xs:simpleType>
 * 
* *

Example 2: Map enum constant name(value) -> enumeration facet

*
 *     //Example: code fragment
 *     @XmlType
 *     @XmlEnum(Integer.class)
 *     public enum Coin {
 *         @XmlEnumValue("1") PENNY(1),
 *         @XmlEnumValue("5") NICKEL(5),
 *         @XmlEnumValue("10") DIME(10),
 *         @XmlEnumValue("25") QUARTER(25) }
 *
 *     <!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
 *     <xs:simpleType name="Coin">
 *       <xs:restriction base="xs:int">
 *         <xs:enumeration value="1"/>
 *         <xs:enumeration value="5"/>
 *         <xs:enumeration value="10"/>
 *         <xs:enumeration value="25"/>
 *       </xs:restriction>
 *     </xs:simpleType>
 * 
* *

Example 3: Map enum constant name -> enumeration facet

* *
 *     //Code fragment
 *     @XmlType
 *     @XmlEnum(Integer.class)
 *     public enum Code {
 *         @XmlEnumValue("1") ONE,
 *         @XmlEnumValue("2") TWO;
 *     }
 *
 *     <!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
 *     <xs:simpleType name="Code">
 *       <xs:restriction base="xs:int">
 *         <xs:enumeration value="1"/>
 *         <xs:enumeration value="2"/>
 *       </xs:restriction>
