Marks a property that refers to classes with
XmlElement
or JAXBElement.
Compared to an element property (property with XmlElement
annotation), a reference property has a different substitution semantics.
When a subclass is assigned to a property, an element property produces
the same tag name with @xsi:type, whereas a reference property produces
a different tag name (the tag name that's on the subclass.)
This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
XmlJavaTypeAdapter
, XmlElementWrapper
.
