JAXB - Unexpected elements in XML output

Question

I have a class called Building.

It has a list of BuildingBenchAssociation records (List benches)

BuildingBenchAssociation has a composite id made up of buildingId and benchId The ID is represented by separate class called BuildingBenchAssociationPKwhich has only two properties - buildingId and benchId

This is the output I get when I marshal a Building instance



DOMRecord(2458659)


DOMRecord(2458669)

But I don't want DOMRecord( to appear in the output. Required output is something like this:

What's wrong and how do I correct it? I am using the Eclipselink MOXy library.

Classes for reference:

Class 1

@Entity
@Table(name="building")
@XmlRootElement
public class Building implements Serializable {
....

private List benchs = new ArrayList();

    @XmlIDREF
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="building")
    public List getBenchs() {
        return benchs;
    }

    public void setBenchs(List benchs) {
        this.benchs = benchs;
    }
}

Class 2

@Entity
@Table(name="building_bench_rel")
@XmlRootElement
public class BuildingBenchAssociation implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private BuildingBenchAssociationPK idx;

    private Bench bench;
    private Building building;
    private byte alertFlags;
    private byte status;

    public BuildingBenchAssociation() {
            idx=new BuildingBenchAssociationPK();
    }

    @XmlID
    @XmlPath(".")
    @Id
    public BuildingBenchAssociationPK getIdx() {
        return this.idx;
    }

    public void setIdx(BuildingBenchAssociationPK id) {
        this.idx = id;
    }

    @Column(name="ALERT_FLAGS")
    public byte getAlertFlags() {
        return this.alertFlags;
    }

    public void setAlertFlags(byte alertFlags) {
        this.alertFlags = alertFlags;
    }

    @Column(name="STATUS", insertable=false, updatable=false)
    public byte getStatus() {
        return this.status;
    }

    public void setStatus(byte status) {
        this.status = status;
    }

    @XmlIDREF
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="BENCH_ID",insertable=false,updatable=false)
    public Bench getBench() {
        return bench;
    }


    public void setBench(Bench bench) {
        this.bench = bench;
        this.idx.setBenchId(bench==null?null:bench.getBenchId());
    }

    @XmlIDREF
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="BUILDING_ID",insertable=false,updatable=false)
    public Building getBuilding() {
        return building;
    }

    public void setBuilding(Building building) {
        this.building = building;
        this.idx.setBuildingId(building==null?null:building.getBuildingId());
    }

}

Class 3

@Embeddable
@XmlRootElement
public class BuildingBenchAssociationPK implements Serializable {
...

    private Integer buildingId;
    private Integer benchId;

    public BuildingBenchAssociationPK() {
    }

    @XmlKey
    @Column(name="BUILDING_ID")
    public Integer getBuildingId() {
        return this.buildingId;
    }
    public void setBuildingId(Integer buildingId) {
        this.buildingId = buildingId;
    }

    @XmlKey
    @Column(name="BENCH_ID")
    public Integer getBenchId() {
        return this.benchId;
    }
    public void setBenchId(Integer benchId) {
        this.benchId = benchId;
    }
}
