Hi,

I am trying to get the element name for a JAXB class.

<someelement>123</someelement>

Then if class is SomeElement then what i plan to do is:

getElement(ObjOfSomeElement) --> someelement


I tried the JAXBInstrospector but that requires the classes to have
@XMLRootElement.

My generated clases do not have this and i was reading your post for

Why does JAXB put @XmlRootElement sometimes but not always?

in java.net

I tried that but still the XMLRoot element does not get generated.

I am using JDK 1.7. IS your post still valid and also if there any trial
way to get the element name.

Thanks,
Prabhu
