Question

I have been stacked in this place for few days. any help will be appreciated.

Here is my story:
I have a JPA entity class (ExtOffer), and Now I annotate it with JAXB annotation in order to do marshall/unmarshall by JAXB. And I also create a wrapper class(ExtOffers), which basically is a collection of ExtOffer.
And when I call JAXBContext.newInstance(ExtOffers.class), I got an IllegalAnnotationsException:JAXB annotation is placed on a method that is not a JAXB property.

I search google and some post says that it’s due to annotate @XmlElement on wrong place.
But my class has @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE) annotation and only the getter method has been annotated with @Xmlelement.

below is my ExtOffer class and ExtOffers class:

//ExtOffer:

@Entity
@Table (name = "extoffer")
@XmlType(name = "ExtOfferType")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE)
public class ExtOffer {
    public ExtOffer() {
    }
        @Id
    @Column(name = "OfferID", nullable = false, unique = true, length = 32)
    protected String offerId;

    @Column(name = "HasMoreScreenShot", nullable = false, unique = false, length = 1)
    private String hasMoreScreenShot;

        public void setOfferId(String offerId) {
        this.offerId = offerId;
    }

    @XmlElement(name="OfferID", required = true)
    public String getOfferId() {
        return offerId;
    }

        public void setHasMoreScreenShot(String hasMoreScreenShot) {
        this.hasMoreScreenShot= hasMoreScreenShot;
    }

    @XmlElement(name = "HasMoreScreenShot")
    public String GetHasMoreScreenShot() {
        return hasMoreScreenShot;
    }
}

//ExtOffers wrapper

@XmlRootElement(name="extoffers")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE)
public class ExtOfferWrapper {


    private List<ExtOffer> extoffers;

    public ExtOfferWrapper() {

    }

    @XmlElement(name="extoffer")
    public List<ExtOffer> getExtoffers() {
        return extoffers;
    }

    public void setExtoffers(List<ExtOffer> extoffers) {
        this.extoffers = extoffers;
    }
}

JAXB annotation is placed on a method that is not a JAXB property
    this problem is related to the following location:
        at @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement(nillable=false, name=HasMoreScreenShot, required=false, defaultValue=, type=class javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement$DEFAULT, namespace=##default)
        at com.symbio.fuhu.appstore.jpa.entity.ExtOffer
        at public java.util.List com.symbio.fuhu.appstore.jaxb.mapping.wrapper.ExtOfferWrapper.getExtoffers()
        at com.symbio.fuhu.appstore.jaxb.mapping.wrapper.ExtOfferWrapper

You have an upper case ‘G’

@XmlElement(name = "HasMoreScreenShot")
public String GetHasMoreScreenShot() {
    return hasMoreScreenShot;
}
