Configuring Default Root Element

The default root element is the name that TopLink uses for the root element when marshalling objects for this descriptor to, and unmarshalling from, an XML document. Descriptors used only in composite relationship mappings do not require a default root element.

For more information, see "Default Root Element".

Using TopLink Workbench

To specify a schema element as the default root element for the descriptor, use this procedure:

1. Select a descriptor in the Navigator. Its properties appear in the Editor.

2. Click the Descriptor Info tab. The Descriptor Info tab appears.
