Hi again,

Simpler problems now, although I'm pretty confident this is a bug of
some sort. In short - if I have a subclass that wants to change the
propOrder I'm finding that either I cant do it (if I include the
superclasses properties I get a "Property surname appears in
@XmlType.propOrder, but no such property exists" error message), or if
I override the methods to simply call super (so as to add them to the
child class) I get doubling up. Here's my code:

@XmlRootElement
public class Name
{
    private String givenName;
    private String surname;

    public String getGivenName()
    {
        return givenName;
    }

    public void setGivenName(String givenName)
    {
        this.givenName = givenName;
    }

    public String getSurname()
    {
        return surname;
    }

    public void setSurname(String surname)
    {
        this.surname = surname;
    }
}

@XmlType(propOrder={
    "title",
    "givenName",
    "middleName",
    "surname"
})
@XmlRootElement
public class FullName extends Name
{
    private String title;
    private String middleName;

    public String getTitle()
    {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title)
    {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public String getMiddleName()
    {
        return middleName;
    }

    public void setMiddleName(String middleName)
    {
        this.middleName = middleName;
    }

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //

    public String getGivenName()
    {
        return super.getGivenName();
    }

    public void setGivenName(String givenName)
    {
        super.setGivenName(givenName);
    }

    public String getSurname()
    {
        return super.getSurname();
    }

    public void setSurname(String surname)
    {
        super.setSurname(surname);
    }
}

Like I said above, removing the get/set givenName/surname methods from
FullName I get this:

com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationException: Property
surname appears in @XmlType.propOrder, but no such property exists
        this problem is related to the following location:
                at com.colebatch.jaxb.order.FullName

and when I include them the output I get is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<fullName>
    <givenName>Dmitri</givenName>
    <surname>Colebatch</surname>
    <title>Mr</title>
    <givenName>Dmitri</givenName>
    <middleName>Feodor</middleName>
    <surname>Colebatch</surname>
</fullName>

Note the doubling up of givenName and surname. I've had a quick look
at some of the annotations I'm not familiar with (including
XmlElements which I now think might solve my earlier problem) but
nothing jumps out at me.

Any thoughts on the above?

cheers
