when i try to read the xlm file i get i get

com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions
Class has two properties of the same name "timeSeries"
    this problem is related to the following location:
        at public java.util.List testjaxp.ModeleREP.getTimeSeries()
        at testjaxp.ModeleREP
    this problem is related to the following location:
        at protected java.util.List testjaxp.ModeleREP.timeSeries
        at testjaxp.ModeleREP

i don't understand this error

edit: i use jaxb-impl-2.1.12

ok now i don't have any error, but when i check my object, timeSeries is null...

so maybe jaxb seem to have problem with flx?


I also faced problem like this and i set this.

@XmlRootElement(name="yourRootElementName")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)

This will work 100%


You didn't specified what JAXB-IMPL version are you using, but once I had the same problem (with jaxb-impl 2.0.5) and solved it using the annotation at the getter level instead of using it at the member level.


There are multiple solutions but basicly if you annotate on variable declaration then you need @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD), but if you prefer to annotate either a get- or set-method then you don't.

So you can do:

@XmlRootElement(name="MY_CLASS_A")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class MyClassA
{
    @XmlElement(name = "STATUS")   
    private int status;
   //.. and so on
}

Or:

@XmlRootElement(name="MY_CLASS_A")
public class MyClassA
{
    private int status;

    @XmlElement(name = "STATUS")         
    public int getStatus()
    {
    }
}
