java - JAXB, how to skip class tag when included -

i'm trying xml:

<person>     <foo>thing</foo>     <bar>other</bar> </person> 

from code

public class person {     private innerthing in; }  public class innerthing {     private string foo;     private string bar; } 

with jaxb java annotations.

by default, get

<person>     <innerthing>         <foo>thing</foo>         <bar>other</bar>     </innerthing> </person> 

how can skip innerthing tag annotations?

you use eclipselink jaxb (moxy)'s @xmlpath annotation solve problem (i'm moxy tech lead):

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.xmlaccesstype; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.xmlaccessortype; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.xmlrootelement;  import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.xmlpath;  @xmlrootelement @xmlaccessortype(xmlaccesstype.field) public class person {      @xmlpath(".")     private innerthing in;  }
