Property Binding Declarations

The <property> binding declaration enables you to customize the binding of an XML schema element to its Java representation as a property. The scope of customization can either be at the definition level or component level depending upon where the <property> binding declaration is specified.

The syntax for <property> customizations is:

<property
    [ name = "propertyName"]
    [ collectionType = "propertyCollectionType" ]
    [ fixedAttributeAsConstantProperty = "true" | "false" | "1" | "0" ]
    [ generateIsSetMethod = "true" | "false" | "1" | "0" ]
    [ enableFailFastCheck ="true" | "false" | "1" | "0" ]
    [ <baseType> ... </baseType> ]
    [ <javadoc> ... </javadoc> ]
</property>

<baseType>
    <javaType> ... </javaType>
</baseType>

• name defines the customization value propertyName; it must be a legal Java identifier.

• collectionType defines the customization value propertyCollectionType, which is the collection type for the property. propertyCollectionType. If specified, can be either indexed or any fully-qualified class name that implements java.util.List.

• fixedAttributeAsConstantProperty defines the customization value fixedAttributeAsConstantProperty. The value can be either true, false, 1, or 0.

• generateIsSetMethod defines the customization value of generateIsSetMethod. The value can be either true, false, 1, or 0.

• enableFailFastCheck defines the customization value enableFailFastCheck. The value can be either true, false, 1, or 0. Please note that the JAXB implementation does not support failfast validation.

• <javadoc> customizes the Javadoc tool annotations for the property’s getter method.
