Set a Value for JAXBElement<String>

Question

I have a generated class that looks like below. I need to call setAmount() from a POJO, but I don't know what value to pass for the arg. It takes type JAXBElement, and I haven't found a way to instantiate that.

I have an ObjectFactory, but it only creates the class CardRequest.

Can anyone suggest a way?

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) @XmlType(name = "", propOrder = {     "amount", }) @XmlRootElement(name = "card-request") public class CardRequest {      @XmlElementRef(name = "amount", namespace = "http://mycompany/services", type = JAXBElement.class)     protected JAXBElement<String> amount;      public JAXBElement<String> getAmount() {         return amount;     }      public void setAmount(JAXBElement<String> value) {         this.amount = ((JAXBElement<String> ) value);     } } 

Answer 1

You can do the following:

JAXBElement<String> jaxbElement =      new JAXBElement(new QName("http://mycompany/services", "amount"), String.class, "Hello World"); 

There should also be a create method on the generated ObjectFactory class that will create this instance of JAXBElement with the appropriate info for you.

ObjectFactory objectFactory = new ObjectFactory(); JAXBElement<String> jaxbElement = objectFactory.createAmount("Hello World");

UPDATE

If the element definition is nested within your schema the name of the create method might be longer such as createCardRequestAmount().
