    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.
