I'm using Retrofit2 as REST client and SimpleXmlConverterFactory for converting from Java to xml, and from xml to Java object.

When I send response with NotificationResponse through REST, no one of the anotations seem to be applied.

@Root(name = "response")
public class NotificationResponse {
    @Element(name="message")
    private String msg;
    @Element(name="version")
    private String ver;
}

Instead of :

<response>
    <message>Hello</message>
    <version>1</version>
</response>

I'm sending:

<NotificationResponse>
<msg>Hello</msg>
<ver>1</ver>
</NotificationResponse>

Any idea, why @Root and @Element are ignored?

Are you sure that you've use right converter to serialize object? – Ivan Zelenskyy Nov 19 '18 at 15:05
I'm using: com.squareup.retrofit2 converter-simplexml 2.3.0 – Marijana Teofilovic Nov 19 '18 at 15:10
I mean, how you initialize you converter? I suppose, you have somewhere a code line with "Retrofit.Builder()..." – Ivan Zelenskyy Nov 19 '18 at 15:28
return new Retrofit.Builder() .baseUrl(baseUrl) .client(httpClient()) .addConverterFactory(SimpleXmlConverterFactory.create()) .build(); – Marijana Teofilovic Nov 19 '18 at 15:36
Strange. Then, I have no answers, but if SimpleXML is not strict dependency for your project, you can use Gson or JAXB, because SimpleXmlConverterFactory is deprecated in retrofit2 starting from version 2.4.0 – Ivan Zelenskyy Nov 19 '18 at 15:56
