I'm trying to convert a java object into an xml file.

this is the object's class:

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlRootElement
public class Employee {

    int eId;
    String eName;
    int eSalary;


    public Employee(){

    }

    public Employee(int eId, String eName, int eSalary) {
        this.eId = eId;
        this.eName = eName;
        this.eSalary = eSalary;
    }


    public int geteId() {
        return eId;
    }

    public void seteId(int eId) {
        this.eId = eId;
    }

    public String geteName() {
        return eName;
    }

    public void seteName(String eName) {
        this.eName = eName;
    }

    public int geteSalary() {
        return eSalary;
    }

    public void seteSalary(int eSalary) {
        this.eSalary = eSalary;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Employee{"  
                "eId="   eId  
                ", eName="   eName  
                ", eSalary="   eSalary  
                '}';
    }
}

While this is the class I made to convert the object:

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;
import javax.xml.bind.Marshaller;
import java.io.File;

public class XMLConverter {

    public static void main (String[] args){

        try {
            // create `Employee` object
            Employee employee = new Employee();
            employee.seteId(101);
            employee.seteName("John Watson");
            employee.seteSalary(30000);

            // create an instance of `JAXBContext`
            JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Employee.class);

            // create an instance of `Marshaller`
            Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();

            // enable pretty-print XML output
            marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);

            // create XML file
            File file = new File("src//main//resources//employeebean.xml");

            // convert employee object to XML file
            marshaller.marshal(employee, file);

        } catch (JAXBException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }


    }
}

when i run the main method i geth this stack trace:

CodePudding user response：

You need to put this annotation on Employee class @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
