where below xml created
"./bikeDump.xml"

How to see above XML in the console. I wonder why that is not displayed on console as mentioned in the link.

control+shifr+R --->not showing above XML

when i went to windows explorer to that project folder i see xml as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<bike vin="25631248">
<color>black</color>
<engineCapacity>250</engineCapacity>
</bike>

why we have only one XmlAttribute?

@XmlAttribute
public void setVin(int vin) {
this.vin = vin;
}

instead of adding one other white bike apart from black bike it overridden previous pne as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<bike vin="25631249">
    <color>white</color>
    <engineCapacity>25000</engineCapacity>

I am assuming your talking about your IDE and Ctrl shift R. You need to refresh Your project if you're looking for a new file on disk.

gurpsbassi

.why we have only one XmlAttribute?

Ummm surely that's all up to you. Make another attribute if u want.

Ahhh, sorry yes of course that would not work.

You need to create a custom wrapper type for your arraylist.

Thats because you're still instantiating an ArrayList in your Test class.
You need to instantiate the BikeList class instead and set the List on it using the setter method.

e.g BikeList bl = new BikeList();
bl.setBikes(al);

then jaxbMarshaller.marshal(bl, System.out);

I have no idea what you are trying to acheive.
You have a line of code that is in marshalling a single bike object and yet you are expecting it to give you a list of bikes?

What the heck is a bike1234 doing there?

You can't just make up any old xml and expect java to work magically.

You need to annotate your object model to let it know what bike1234 is.

i want to marshal to one xml. I want to unmarshall from different xml with more than one child tag (white car tag and other black car tag). When i unmarshall i want to see both white and black car on the console. But i got above error not sure how to resolve it.

Right well, the problem is obvious.

How can you expect to unmarshall bikedumptest.xml when it contains <bike> elements.
You have told JAXB the root node is
@XmlRootElement(name = "bike123")

You cant martial using one root node and unmarshall using another.

does Bike.java and BikeList.java used both in marshal and unmarshal scenario?

gurpsbassi

If the bikedumptest contains multiple bikes in a list, you need the wrapper element around it.
