When serialising objects to XML and specifying namespaces for properties using
@JacksonXmlRootElement(namespace = "http://...")
Jackson will append or prepend ′wstxns1′ to the namespace. For example, say we have these classes:
VtexSkuAttributeValues.java
@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "listStockKeepingUnitName")
public class VtexSkuAttributeValues {
@JacksonXmlProperty(localName = "StockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO", namespace = "http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Vtex.Commerce.WebApps.AdminWcfService.Contracts")
@JacksonXmlElementWrapper(useWrapping = false)
private VtexSkuAttributeValue[] stockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO;
public VtexSkuAttributeValue[] getStockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO() {
return stockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO;
}
public void setValues(VtexSkuAttributeValue[] values) {
this.stockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO = values;
}
}
VtexSkuAttributeValue.java
@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "StockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO", namespace = "http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Vtex.Commerce.WebApps.AdminWcfService.Contracts")
public class VtexSkuAttributeValue {
private String fieldName;
private FieldValues fieldValues;
private int idSku;
public int getIdSku() {
return idSku;
}
public String getFieldName() {
return fieldName;
}
public FieldValues getFieldValues() {
return fieldValues;
}
public void setIdSku(int idSku) {
this.idSku = idSku;
}
public void setFieldName(String fieldName) {
this.fieldName = fieldName;
}
public void setFieldValues(FieldValues fieldValues) {
this.fieldValues = fieldValues;
}
@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "fieldValues", namespace = "http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Vtex.Commerce.WebApps.AdminWcfService.Contracts")
public static class FieldValues {
@JacksonXmlProperty(namespace = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays")
@JacksonXmlElementWrapper(useWrapping = false)
public String[] string;
public String[] getString() {
return string;
}
public void setValues(String[] values) {
this.string = values;
}
}
}
I then use the XmlMapper
to serialise and get:
<listStockKeepingUnitName>
<wstxns1:StockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO xmlns:wstxns1="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Vtex.Commerce.WebApps.AdminWcfService.Contracts">
<fieldName>talle</fieldName>
<fieldValues>
<wstxns2:string xmlns:wstxns2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">6184</wstxns2:string>
</fieldValues>
<idSku>258645</idSku>
</wstxns1:StockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO>
<wstxns3:StockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO xmlns:wstxns3="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Vtex.Commerce.WebApps.AdminWcfService.Contracts">
<fieldName>color</fieldName>
<fieldValues>
<wstxns4:string xmlns:wstxns4="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">6244</wstxns4:string>
</fieldValues>
<idSku>258645</idSku>
</wstxns3:StockKeepingUnitFieldNameDTO>
</listStockKeepingUnitName>
Even though this is valid XML, the web service I'm working with doesn't accept it. I debugged it and it's due to the wstxns
properties in the tags that Jackson adds for some reason.
Is there a way to prevent Jackson from adding that to the tags. The only workaround I could come up with is performing a string.replaceAll on the resulting XML but it's obviously not ideal.
