I'm executing a Maven Project with the below source
package com.coderplus.jaxb;
import java.util.HashMap;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlJavaTypeAdapter;
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(PropertiesMapAdapter.class)
public class PropertiesMap<K,V> extends HashMap<String,String>
{
}
..
package com.coderplus.jaxb;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlAdapter;
public class PropertiesMapAdapter extends
XmlAdapter<Properties, PropertiesMap<String, String>> {
@Override
public PropertiesMap<String, String> unmarshal(Properties properties)
throws Exception {
PropertiesMap<String, String> retVal = new PropertiesMap<String, String>();
if (null != properties) {
for (Property param : properties.getProperty()) {
retVal.put(param.getName(), param.getValue());
}
}
return retVal;
}
@Override
public Properties marshal(PropertiesMap<String, String> propertiesMap)
throws Exception {
Properties properties = new Properties();
if (propertiesMap != null) {
for (Entry<String, String> entry : propertiesMap.entrySet()) {
Property param = new Property();
param.setName(entry.getKey());
param.setValue(entry.getValue());
properties.getProperty().add(param);
}
}
return properties;
}
}
..
package com.coderplus.jaxb;
import javax.xml.bind.*;
public class Demo {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

The Demo Class produces the below output when I execute it using JDK 1.6
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root>
<Properties>
<Property name="hello">World</Property>
<Property name="name">value</Property>
</Properties>
</Root>
but for some reason, it generates the below with JDK 1.7 and up (newer JAXB?)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root>
<properties>
<entry>
<key xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">hello</key>
<value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">World</value>
</entry>
<entry>
<key xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">name</key>
<value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">value</value>
</entry>
</properties>
</Root>
How can I get it working on JDK 1.7 or the newer version of JAXB?
Some More Info:
The maven-jaxb2-plugin generates the below class along with others
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "", propOrder = {
"properties"
})
@XmlRootElement(name = "Root")
public class Root {
@XmlElement(name = "Properties", required = true, type = Properties.class)
protected PropertiesMap<String, String> properties;
public PropertiesMap<String, String> getProperties() {
return properties;
}
public void setProperties(PropertiesMap<String, String> value) {
this.properties = value;
}
}
If I manually go in and add the annotation @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(PropertiesMapAdapter.class) like in the code below, then it works
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "", propOrder = {
"properties"
})
@XmlRootElement(name = "Root")
public class Root {
@XmlElement(name = "Properties", required = true, type = Properties.class)
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(PropertiesMapAdapter.class)
protected PropertiesMap<String, String> properties;
public PropertiesMap<String, String> getProperties() {
return properties;
}
public void setProperties(PropertiesMap<String, String> value) {
this.properties = value;
}
}
How can I make the maven-jaxb2-plugin to add the XmlJavaTypeAdapter automatically? In case it would help, this link has the zipped Maven Project
