JAXB namespace prefixes missing

I have generated Java classes from XSD, all works fine from a unmarshalling point of view.

However, when I marshall from JAXB classes I get the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<message xmlns="http://poc.cmc.com/ScreenLayout">
    <Data>
        <Type>Sample</Type>
     . . .
</message>

But I need

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns0:message xmlns:ns0="http://poc.cmc.com/ScreenLayout">
    <ns0:Data>
开发者_运维百科        <ns0:Type>Sample</ns0:Type>
    . . .

how can I control that from Java?

Thanks a lot

You can use the @XmlSchema annotation on a package-info class to assign a prefix to the namespace:

@XmlSchema(
    namespace = "http://poc.cmc.com/ScreenLayout",
    elementFormDefault = XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED,
    xmlns={@XmlNs(prefix="ns0", namespaceURI="http://poc.cmc.com/ScreenLayout")})    
package your.package;


import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

Cant post this as a comment!

because the consuming application is very dumb and needs the prefix

In that case the dumb application is not really consuming xml. Take a look at this link http://bdoughan.blogspot.com/2010/08/jaxb-namespaces.html and play with the namespace options. Specifically

@XmlSchema (
   xmlns = {
         @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix = "ns1", namespaceURI="http:test"),
         @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix = "xsd", namespaceURI="http:www.w3.org2001XMLSchema")
   },
   namespace = "http:test",
   elementFormDefault = XmlNsForm.UNQUALIFIED,
   attributeFormDefault = XmlNsForm.UNSET
)

used in a package-info.java file.

@XmlType(namespace="http://www.example.org/type")

Used on a class declaration

@XmlElement(namespace="http://www.example.org/property")

Used on a property.

Some combination or only one of these options may give you what you want. However you should understand that you're fighting an uphill battle when you move from valid xml to xml that must contain a specific namespace prefix on all elements.

According to XML spec both xml's are the same, as xmlns="" defines default namespace which applies to current and all child elements. XML parsers should give you the same DOM or SAX in both cases

I did the following steps and everything works. Basically I've compiled form the wsdl or whatever schema file you have.

1. Download from https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-ri/ (I've used version 2.3.4)
2. With the following command:

xjc.sh -wsdl -npa -mark-generated -d src/main/java -p your.package.hierarchy src/main/resources/wsdl/*

I had wsdl files and that's the reason for the first flag, the -npa is to add the namespace information in the annotation rather than on a package-info.java since for some reason that wasn't working for me.
