Oracle TopLink provides specific annotations (TopLink extensions) in addition to supporting the standard Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) implementation. You can use these TopLink extensions to take advantage of TopLink's extended functionality and features within your JPA entities.
TopLink uses (and includes) EclipseLink MOXy as its default JAXB implementation.
This document is intended for application developers who want to develop applications using TopLink with Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB). This document does not include details about related common tasks, but focuses on TopLink functionality.
Developers should be familiar with the concepts and programming practices of
Java SE and Java EE.
