java - Jackson FasterXML POJO to XML list -

i'm using fasterxml jackson implementation convert pojo's xml output xml-databing package. i'm trying achieve output:

<myrequest>  <mysubrequest>4</mysubrequest>  <mysubrequest>5</mysubrequest> </myrequest> 

my classes:

public class mysubrequest {  @jacksonxmltext private string id;  public string getid() {     return id; }  public void setid(string id) {     this.id = id; }  public mysubrequest(string id) {     super();     this.id = id; }  } 

and:

@jacksonxmlrootelement public class myrequest {  private collection<mysubrequest> mysubrequest;  public collection<mysubrequest> getrequests() {     return mysubrequest; }  public void setrequests(collection<mysubrequest> requests) {     this.mysubrequest = requests; }  } 

i'm testing with:

objectmapper mapper = new xmlmapper(); myrequest entity = new myrequest(); collection<mysubrequest> myids = new arraylist<>(); myids.add(new mysubrequest("12")); myids.add(new mysubrequest("34")); entity.setrequests(myids); mapper.writevalue(system.out, entity); 

but output is:

<myrequest xmlns="">  <requests>   <requests>12</requests>   <requests>34</requests>  </requests> </myrequest> 

another thing i'd know how force output case-sensitive i.e. uppercase variable names.

you can use jacksonxmlelementwrapper annotation ignore wrapper. use :

@jacksonxmlrootelement class myrequest {       private collection<mysubrequest> mysubrequest;      public collection<mysubrequest> getrequests() {         return mysubrequest;     }      @jacksonxmlproperty(localname = "mysubrequest")     @jacksonxmlelementwrapper(usewrapping = false)     public void setrequests(collection<mysubrequest> requests) {         this.mysubrequest = requests;     }  } 

here have used jacksonxmlproperty annotation use element name "mysubrequest" in xml.
