Excluding Less than Half of Properties

If you are excluding less than half of the mapped fields/properties then you can do this using @XmlTransient.

public Class {

    public String a;   // include
    public String b;   // include
    public String c;   // include
    @XmlTransient public String d;   // exclude

}

Excluding More than Half of Properties

If you are excluding more than half of the mapped fields/properties then you can specify @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE) and then only annotated fields/properties will be included.

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE)
public Class {

    public String a;   // exclude
    public String b;   // exclude
    public String c;   // exclude
    @XmlElement public String d;   // include

}

If you have a field which should not be persisted as XML (I assume you are using JAXB), then mark it as @XmlTransient.

@XmlTransient
public String notXmlelement;
