This statement throws IllegalAnnotationException. I would like to know why. I'm having a hard time finding the issue myself because I'm unfamiliar with JAXB and there is no information in the error thrown apart from the name.
JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Article.class);
Here's the Article class:
@XmlRootElement(name = "article")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Article {
@XmlElement(name = "meta")
private Metadata metadata;
@XmlElement
private Body body;
@XmlElement(name = "tags")
private Tags tags;
public Metadata getMetadata() {
return metadata;
}
public Body getBody() {
return body;
}
public Tags getTags() {
return tags;
}
public void setTags(Tags tags) {
this.tags = tags;
}
public List<Paragraph> getParagraphs() {
return body.getParagraphs();
}
}
The Tag class:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Tags {
@XmlElement(name = "headword")
private List<Headword> headword;
@XmlElement(name = "formParenthesis")
private List<FormParenthesis> formParenthesis;
@XmlElement(name = "etymology")
private List<Etymology> etymology;
@XmlElement(name = "overview")
private List<Overview> overview;
@XmlElement(name = "connections")
private List<Connections> connections;
@XmlElement(name = "compounds")
private List<Compounds> compounds;
@XmlElement(name = "derivations")
private List<Derivations> derivations;
@XmlElement(name = "reference")
private List<Reference> reference;
@XmlElementWrapper(name = "sources")
@XmlElement(name = "source")
private List<Source> sources;
@XmlElementWrapper(name = "definitions")
@XmlElement(name = "definition")
private List<Definition> definitions;
@XmlElementWrapper(name = "professions")
@XmlElement(name = "profession")
private List<Profession> professions;
@XmlElementWrapper(name = "usabilities")
@XmlElement(name = "usability")
private List<Usability> usabilities;
@XmlElementWrapper(name = "remarks")
@XmlElement(name = "remark")
private List<Commentary> commentaries;
@XmlElementWrapper(name = "languageTests")
@XmlElement(name = "languageTest")
private List<LanguageTest> languageTests;
public List<Headword> getHeadword() {
return headword;
}
public List<FormParenthesis> getFormParenthesis() {
return formParenthesis;
}
public List<Etymology> getEtymology() {
return etymology;
}
public List<Overview> getOverview() {
return overview;
}
public List<Connections> getConnections() {
return connections;
}
public List<Compounds> getCompounds() {
return compounds;
}
public List<Derivations> getDerivations() {
return derivations;
}
public List<Reference> getReference() {
return reference;
}
public List<Source> getSources() {
return sources;
}
public void setSources(List<Source> sources) {
this.sources = sources;
}
public boolean hasSources() {
return sources != null;
}
public List<Definition> getDefinitions() {
return definitions;
}
public List<Definition> setDefinitions(List<Definition> definitions) {
this.definitions = definitions;
return this.definitions;
}
public boolean hasDefinitions() {
return definitions != null;
}
public List<Profession> getProfessions() {
return professions;
}
public List<Profession> setProfessions(List<Profession> professions) {
this.professions = professions;
return this.professions;
}
public boolean hasProfessions() {
return professions != null;
}
public List<Usability> getUsabilities() {
return usabilities;
}
public List<Usability> setUsabilities(List<Usability> usabilities) {
this.usabilities = usabilities;
return this.usabilities;
}
public boolean hasUsabilities() {
return usabilities != null;
}
public List<Commentary> getCommentaries() {
return commentaries;
}
public List<Commentary> setCommentaries(List<Commentary> commentaries) {
this.commentaries = commentaries;
return this.commentaries;
}
public boolean hasCommentaries() {
return commentaries != null;
}
public List<LanguageTest> getLanguageTests() {
return languageTests;
}
public List<LanguageTest> setLanguageTests(List<LanguageTest> languageTests) {
this.languageTests = languageTests;
return this.languageTests;
}
public boolean hasLanguageTests() {
return languageTests != null;
}
}
What is Illegal about these annotations?
Please let me know if there is some other part of the code you would like to see.
UPDATE: I've identified three tags that cause the error. I ran with just one of them not commented out:
Tags.java:
@XmlElement(name = "derivations")
private List<Derivations> derivations;
and here is the stack trace:

Derivations.java:
public class Derivations extends PositionalIds {
@XmlElement(name = "derivation")
List<Derivation> derivations;
public List<Derivation> getDerivations() {
return derivations;
}
}
PositionalIds.java
@XmlTransient
public abstract class PositionalIds {
@XmlAttribute(name = "start")
private String startId;
@XmlAttribute(name = "end")
private String endId;
public String getStartId() {
return startId;
}
public String getEndId() {
return endId;
}
}
UDPATE:
Changing Derivations.java to:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Derivations extends PositionalIds {
@XmlElement(name = "derivation")
List<Derivation> derivations;
public List<Derivation> getDerivations() {
return derivations;
}
}
does not solve the problem. The same error remains.
