Maps a package name to an XML namespace.
Usage
The XmlSchema annotation can be used with the following program elements:
- package
This is a package level annotation and follows the recommendations and restrictions contained in JSR 175, section III, "Annotations". Thus the usage is subject to the following constraints and recommendations.
- There can only be one package declaration as noted in JSR 175, section III, "Annotations".
- JSR 175 recommends package-info.java for package level annotations. Jakarta XML Binding Providers that follow this recommendation will allow the package level annotations to be defined in package-info.java.
Example 1: Customize name of XML namespace to which package is mapped.
@jakarta.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (
namespace = "http://www.example.com/MYPO1"
)
<!-- XML Schema fragment -->
<schema
xmlns=...
xmlns:po=....
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/MYPO1">
<!-- prefixes generated by default are implementation dependent -->
Example 2: Customize namespace prefix, namespace URI mapping
// Package level annotation
@jakarta.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (
xmlns = {
@jakarta.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix = "po",
namespaceURI="http://www.example.com/myPO1"),
@jakarta.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix="xs",
namespaceURI="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")
}
)
<!-- XML Schema fragment -->
<schema
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:po="http://www.example.com/PO1"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/PO1">
...
Example 3: Customize elementFormDefault
@jakarta.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (
elementFormDefault=XmlNsForm.UNQUALIFIED
...
)
<!-- XML Schema fragment -->
<schema
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:po="http://www.example.com/PO1"
elementFormDefault="unqualified">
...

location
String locationIndicates that this namespace (specified bynamespace()
) has a schema already available externally, available at this location.This instructs the Jakarta XML Binding schema generators to simply refer to the pointed schema, as opposed to generating components into the schema. This schema is assumed to match what would be otherwise produced by the schema generator (same element names, same type names...)
This feature is intended to be used when a set of the Java classes is originally generated from an existing schema, handwritten to match externally defined schema, or the generated schema is modified manually.
Value could be any absolute URI, like
http://example.org/some.xsd
. It is also possible to specify the empty string, to indicate that the schema is externally available but the location is unspecified (and thus it's the responsibility of the reader of the generate schema to locate it.) Finally, the default value of this property"##generate"
indicates that the schema generator is going to generate components for this namespace (as it did in Jakarta XML Binding.)Multiple
XmlSchema
annotations on multiple packages are allowed to govern the samenamespace()
. In such case, all of them must have the samelocation()
values.Note to implementor
More precisely, the value must be either
""
,"##generate"
, or a valid lexical representation ofxs:anyURI
that begins with<scheme>:
.A schema generator is expected to generate a corresponding
<xs:import namespace="..." schemaLocation="..."/>
(or noschemaLocation
attribute at all if the empty string is specified.) However, the schema generator is allowed to use a different value in theschemaLocation
attribute (including not generating such attribute), for example so that the user can specify a local copy of the resource through the command line interface.- Default:
"##generate"
