public @interface DefaultXMLFormat

Specifies the default xml format of a class (for xml serialization/deserialization). The default format is used by the XMLObjectReader and XMLObjectWriter classes. It can be locally overridden in the scope of a XMLContext.

 @DefaultXMLFormat(Complex.XML.class) 
 public class Complex {
     public Complex(double real, double imaginary) { ... }
     public double getReal() { ... }
     public double getImaginary() { ... }
     public static class XML extends XMLFormat<Complex> { 
          public Complex newInstance(Class<? extends Complex> cls, InputElement xml) throws XMLStreamException {
              return new Complex(xml.getAttribute("real", 0.0), xml.getAttribute("imaginary", 0.0)); 
          }
          public void read(InputElement xml, Complex c) throws XMLStreamException {
              // Immutable object, no further processing.
          }
          public void write(Complex c, OutputElement xml) throws XMLStreamException {
              xml.setAttribute("real", c.getReal()); 
              xml.setAttribute("imaginary", c.getImaginary());
          }
     };      
 }
