# Mapping Order

Previous

Next

Unlike relational database mappings, the order in which mappings are persisted in XML is significant.

The order in which you define XML mappings in TopLink (whether in TopLink Workbench or in Java code) including the order in which you define mapping components such as `Transformers` (see "XML Transformation Mapping") is reflected in the order, in which TopLink persists data in an XML document.
