@XmlElement not working correctly on Fields

[sohailehmad]

If I use @XmlElementon a Filed, it will only work if Field name is same as provided in XmlElement e.g

@XmlRootElement(name = "Pet")
public class Pet {
  @XmlElement(name = "name")
  public String name;
}

But if field name is different from the one provided in XmlElement field will not appear in api docs

@XmlRootElement(name = "Pet")
public class Pet {
  @XmlElement(name = "pet_name")
  public String name;
}

I have the same issue. I just want to clarify that the field appears in api docs, but with the wrong name ("name" instead of "pet_name").

@XmlElementon works fine on getter function. So make your field private and access it through getters and setters

You are right, @xmlelement does work. But @XmlAttribute doesn't.

Hi Folks! Shouldn't this work on fields also? I'm pretty sure JAX-RS does not pose any restriction on the definition for XmlElement. Other than that, it makes difficult to have swagger working properly with project lombok.

@feliperoos you commented on an issue from over a year ago, which is not even relevant to the current stable version. If you have an issue with the 1.5.X versions, please open a new ticket and provide details so we can try and help. Keep in mind that by default the new swagger-core doesn't support JAXB annotations but the support can be added manually.
