/**
 * Generates a wrapper element around XML representation.
 *
 * This is primarily intended to be used to produce a wrapper
 * XML element around collections. The annotation therefore supports
 * two forms of serialization shown below. 
 *
 * 
{@code
 *    //Example: code fragment
 *      int[] names;
 *
 *    // XML Serialization Form 1 (Unwrapped collection)
 *     ... 
 *     ... 
 * 
 *    // XML Serialization Form 2 ( Wrapped collection )
 *    
 *        value-of-item 
 *        value-of-item 
 *       ....
 *    
 * }
* *

The two serialized XML forms allow a null collection to be * represented either by absence or presence of an element with a * nillable attribute. * *

Usage

*

* The {@code @XmlElementWrapper} annotation can be used with the * following program elements: *

    *
  • JavaBean property
  • *
  • non static, non transient field
  • *
* *

The usage is subject to the following constraints: *

    *
  • The property must be a collection property
  • *
  • This annotation can be used with the following annotations: * {@link XmlElement}, * {@link XmlElements}, * {@link XmlElementRef}, * {@link XmlElementRefs}, * {@link XmlJavaTypeAdapter}.
  • *
* *

See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for * additional common information.
