javax.xml.bind.annotation

## Annotation Type XmlAccessorType

-     @Inherited
       @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
       @Target(value={PACKAGE,TYPE})
      public @interface XmlAccessorType

  Controls whether fields or Javabean properties are serialized by default.

  Usage

  `@XmlAccessorType` annotation can be used with the following program elements:

  - package
  - a top level class

  See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for additional common information.

  This annotation provides control over the default serialization of properties and fields in a class.

  The annotation `@XmlAccessorType` on a package applies to all classes in the package. The following inheritance semantics apply:

  - If there is a `@XmlAccessorType` on a class, then it is used.
  - Otherwise, if a `@XmlAccessorType` exists on one of its super classes, then it is inherited.
  - Otherwise, the `@XmlAccessorType` on a package is inherited.

  Defaulting Rules:

  By default, if `@XmlAccessorType` on a package is absent, then the following package level annotation is assumed.

         @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PUBLIC_MEMBER)

  By default, if `@XmlAccessorType` on a class is absent, and none of its super classes is annotated with `@XmlAccessorType`, then the following default on the class is assumed:

         @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PUBLIC_MEMBER)

  This annotation can be used with the following annotations: `XmlType`, `XmlRootElement`, `XmlAccessorOrder`, `XmlSchema`, `XmlSchemaType`, `XmlSchemaTypes`, , `XmlJavaTypeAdapter`. It can also be used with the following annotations at the package level: `XmlJavaTypeAdapter`.
