## javax.xml.bind.annotation
Annotation Type XmlSchemaType

    @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
    @Target(value={FIELD,METHOD,PACKAGE})
    public @interface XmlSchemaType

Maps a Java type to a simple schema built-in type.

Usage

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

- a JavaBean property
- field
- package

`@XmlSchemaType` annotation defined for Java type applies to all references to the Java type from a property/field. A `@XmlSchemaType` annotation specified on the property/field overrides the `@XmlSchemaType` annotation specified at the package level.

This annotation can be used with the following annotations: `XmlElement`, `XmlAttribute`.

Example 1: Customize mapping of XMLGregorianCalendar on the field.

         //Example: Code fragment
         public class USPrice {
             @XmlElement
             @XmlSchemaType(name="date")
             public XMLGregorianCalendar date;
         }

         <!-- Example: Local XML Schema element -->
         <xs:complexType name="USPrice"/>
           <xs:sequence>
             <xs:element name="date" type="xs:date"/>
           </sequence>
         </xs:complexType>

Example 2: Customize mapping of XMLGregorianCalendar at package level

         package foo;
         @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchemaType(
              name="date", type=javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar.class)
         }

Since:
  JAXB2.0
