How to add new element inside #XmlRootElement using JaxB - jaxb

I am new to jaxb. I have a scenario here I need to generate follwing XML using JAXB
<WCHECK>
<ALIASES>
<ENTRY>
<ENABLED>No</ENABLED>
<TYPE>AKA</TYPE>
<TEXT>AL1 JAMMALI IMAD BEN BECHIR BEN HAMDA</TEXT>
<NATIVE>Yes</NATIVE>
</ENTRY>
<ENTRY>
<ENABLED>Yes</ENABLED>
<TYPE>AKA</TYPE>
<TEXT>AL2 JAMMALI IMAD BEN BECHIR BEN HAMDA</TEXT>
<NATIVE>Yes</NATIVE>
</ENTRY>
</ALIASES>
<PERMUTATIONS>
<ENTRY>
<ENABLED>No</ENABLED>
<TEXT>Jammali Hamda</TEXT>
</ENTRY>
</PERMUTATIONS>
</WCHECKS>
I have created Allias.java and Permussions.java for the same
#Entity
#Table(name="ING_ALIAS")
public class Aliases {
private String id;
private String type;
private String text;
private boolean enabled;
private boolean isNativeAllias;
private VwatchDetails vwatchDetails;
#Id
#Column(name="ID")
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
#Column(name="KA_TYPE")
public String getType() {
return type;
}
public void setType(String type) {
this.type = type;
}
#Column(name="TEXT")
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public void setText(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
#ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinColumn(name = "ENTRY_ID", nullable = false)
public VwatchDetails getVwatchDetails() {
return vwatchDetails;
}
public void setVwatchDetails(VwatchDetails vwatchDetails) {
this.vwatchDetails = vwatchDetails;
}
#Column(name="IS_ENABLED")
public boolean getEnabled() {
return enabled;
}
public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
this.enabled = enabled;
}
#Column(name="IS_NATIVE_ALIAS")
public boolean getIsNativeAllias() {
return isNativeAllias;
}
public void setIsNativeAllias(boolean isNativeAllias) {
this.isNativeAllias = isNativeAllias;
}
This class generate xml file but Its missing the ENTRY> tag. I would like to know how can I add ENTRY tag For each record of Allias and Permutations. Kindly assist me on this. Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

You can use the #XmlElementWrapper annotation to add a grouping element. Then use the #XmlElement annotation to control the element name that corresponds to each item in the collection.
#XmlRootElement(name="WCHECK")
#XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class WCheck
#XmlElementWrapper(name="ALIASES")
#XmlElement(name="ENTRY")
private List<Alias> aliases;
#XmlElementWrapper(name="PERMUTATIONS")
#XmlElement(name="ENTRY")
private List<Permutation> permutations;
}
