How to get xml attribute using JAXB

Question

this is my xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <organization>
      <bank>
        <description>aaa</description>
        <externalkey>123</externalkey>
        <property name="pName" value="1234567890" />
      </bank>
   </organization>

I used JAXB and unmarshall for this xml and I can get description and externalkey. But I cannot get property name with value.

• This is my java class for unmarshall:

  JAXBContext jb = JAXBContext.newInstance(Organization.class);
  Unmarshaller um = jb.createUnmarshaller();
  Organization org = (Organization) um.unmarshal(new File("\\upload\\bank999999.xml"));
  System.out.println(org.getBank().getDescription());
  System.out.println(org.getBank().getExternalkey());
  

• Organization.java

  @XmlRootElement
  public class Organization {
  Bank bank = new Bank();
  
  public Bank getBank() {
    return bank;
  }
  
  public void setBank(Bank bank) {
   this.bank = bank;
  }
  }
  

• Bank.java

  @XmlRootElement
  public class Bank {
   private String description;
   private String externalkey;
   private String property;
  
  //..GETTER and SETTER
  }
  

  How can I get property name and value? Thank u

Bank

You need to change the property property from a String to a domain object.

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Bank {
    private String description;
    private String externalkey;
    private Property property;
}

Property

Then your Property object would look something like:

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Property {

    @XmlAttribute
    private String name;

    @XmlAtrribute
    private String value;

}
