Re: JAXB2 Basics, toString generation

I can get it done with code injection (-Xinject-code cmd line option),
via a Netbeans project and an ANT build file. I add this to the xsd in
the appropriate spot:

<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<ci:code>
// any code you can think of:
/**
public String toString() {
return name;
}
*/
</ci:code>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>


But JAXB2 Basics advertises an -XtoString option, that is supposed to
do it neatly.
I know the links you mentioned: been there, done that.
As a matter of high probability,I think I saw ALL the (ir-)relevant
doc on this subject. Pity there is no example code. You'd say the
maker would have little trouble providing that... but alas.

Here is the schema, i want to use:


I'll add indentation and blank lines for readability.

I don't know how to get JAXB to generate a 'toString()' for you unless
I check the documentation, sorry.

I've used two approaches with JAXB-generated classes where I needed
something beyond the generator's output: modify the output or wrap it
in an adapter. The latter makes for a simpler build process.

For some reason I had a bookmark link to
http://java.net/projects/jaxb2-commons/pages/Home
which seems to indicate that others might have faced this question
before:
http://confluence.highsource.org/display/J2B/Equals+plugin

I don't remember precisely how I found that site to bookmark it. I've
been doing a lot of JAXB work and I suppose I must have googled around
for useful information.
