Serialize Java List to XML using Jackson XML mapper

Question

Hi I need to create an XML from JAVA using Jackson-dataformat XMLMapper. The XML should be like ``` 1 Mighty Pulpo austin TX Hong Kong Hong Kong ``` But I get it always like with an extra "< addresses> < /addresses>" tag. ``` 1 Mighty Pulpo austin TX Hong Kong Hong Kong ``` I am using below code to create XML ``` JaxbAnnotationModule jaxbAnnotationModule = new JaxbAnnotationModule(); XmlMapper mapper = new XmlMapper(); mapper.enable(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT); mapper.registerModule(jaxbAnnotationModule); mapper.registerModule(new GuavaModule()); String xml = mapper.writeValueAsString(customer); System.out.println(xml); ``` Please can some one help me? How…

Accepted Answer

Try the below code

```
@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "customer") 
class Customer {

@JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "id")
    private int id;
    @JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "name")
    private String  name;

@JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "addresses")
    @JacksonXmlElementWrapper(useWrapping = false)
    private Address[] address;

// you can add it on getter method instead of declaration.  
    @JacksonXmlElementWrapper(useWrapping = false)
    public Address[] getAddress(){ 
        return address;
   }

//getters, setters, toString             
}

class Address {

@JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "city")
    private String city;

@JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "state")
    private String state;
    // getter/setter 
}
```
