Hi Avihaimar,

I'm forwarding my answer. There's an "annotate"plugin which can add
arbitrary annotations to your generated classes.
Please see this example:
https://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/source/browse/jaxb2-commons/tests/annotate/

Hi,

I've attached a small sample schema. See the full example here:
https://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/source/browse/jaxb2-commons/tests/annotate/
Basics:
0. Annotate plugin must be activated.
1. You need annox prefix in the list of jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes:
<xsd:schema
xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:jaxb="
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
jaxb:version="2.1"
xmlns:annox="
http://annox.dev.java.net"
jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="annox"
xmlns:jl="
http://annox.dev.java.net/java.lang"<xsd:schema
xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:jaxb="
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
jaxb:version="2.1"
xmlns:annox="
http://annox.dev.java.net"
jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="annox"
xmlns:jl="
http://annox.dev.java.net/java.lang">
>
2. You need to declare a namespace or namespaces for you target
package. For instance, for java.lang the declaration is like:
xmlns:jl="
http://annox.dev.java.net/java.lang"
3. Use
<annox:annotate>
<myPackagePrefix:LocalClassName .../>
</annox:annotate>
to produce the required annotation. Like
<annox:annotate>
<jl:SuppressWarnings/>
</annox:annotate>
will generate java.lang.SupressWarnings annotation.
These are the basics.
Now, the most important for you is that what you are trying to do
simply won't work.
What I see here is that you are trying to annotate your FooType with
@XmlTransient annotation:
> <xsd:complexType name="FooType">
> <xsd:annotation>
> <xsd:appinfo>
> <xsd:annotate>
> <jl:XmlTransient/>
> </xsd:annotate>
> </xsd:appinfo>
> </xsd:annotation>
> <!-- ... -->
> </xsd:complexType>
> </xsd:schema>
This won't work. The annotate plugin adds a new annotation, so you'll
just have an additional @XmlTransient annotation in your class. I
think this will just produce a conflict for JAXB and won't work.
What is the business task you are trying to solve?
Bye.
