Question

When you generate java classes with JAXB you’ll always get a Class named ObjectFactory.
In this class there is a private attribute QName with the namespace in it.

Is it possible to tell the generator to make this attribute accessible from the outside. So maybe make it public or create a getter for it?

Answer 1

I believe those private static QName fields are only generated if the ObjectFactory needs methods that create JAXBElement<...> instances. If you call one of those methods to get a JAXBElement instance, you can then invoke its getName method to retrieve its associated QName.
