  34  * <p>
  35  * Prevents the mapping of a JavaBean property/type to XML representation.
  36  * <p>
  37  * The <tt>@XmlTransient</tt> annotation is useful for resolving name
  38  * collisions between a JavaBean property name and a field name or
  39  * preventing the mapping of a field/property. A name collision can
  40  * occur when the decapitalized JavaBean property name and a field
  41  * name are the same. If the JavaBean property refers to the field,
  42  * then the name collision can be resolved by preventing the
  43  * mapping of either the field or the JavaBean property using the
  44  * <tt>@XmlTransient</tt> annotation.
  45  *
  46  * <p>
  47  * When placed on a class, it indicates that the class shouldn't be mapped
  48  * to XML by itself. Properties on such class will be mapped to XML along
  49  * with its derived classes, as if the class is inlined.
  50  *
  51  * <p><b>Usage</b></p>
  52  * <p> The <tt>@XmlTransient</tt> annotation can be used with the following
  53  *     program elements:
  54  * <ul>
  55  *   <li> a JavaBean property </li>
  56  *   <li> field </li>
  57  *   <li> class </li>
  58  * </ul>
  59  *
  60  * <p><tt>@XmlTransient</tt>is mutually exclusive with all other
  61  * JAXB defined annotations. </p>
  62  *
  63  * <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
  64  * additional common information.</p>
  65  *
  66  * <p><b>Example:</b> Resolve name collision between JavaBean property and
  67  *     field name </p>

  70  *   // Example: Code fragment
