how to marshal complex object

[btran007]

Hello All,

I am trying JAXB for the first time. I have been reading tutorials and how to all over. I got as far as this:

@XmlRootElement
public class MyClass{
private Object1 obj1;
private List<Object2> obj2;

public MyClass() {
}
public MyClass(Object1 obj1, List<Object2> obj2) {
this.obj1 = obj1;
this.obj2 = obj2;
}
}

Everything is working and happy. But now I want to extend it further by wrapping it in another object. This is where it's not working and I need to understand why. Below is the code:
(@XmlRootElement is removed from MyClass)

@XmlRootElement
public class AllClass{
private List<MyClass> classes;

public AllClass() {
}

public AllClass(List<MyClass> classes) {
this.classes= classes;
}
}

This is the error I got: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: nor any of its super class is known to this context.

Can someone please explain to me why it works for MyClass with List<Object2> but not in AllClass. I even tried to remove "List" and still the same error.

Thanks in advance

I got it to work now. I forgot to change the class name from MyClass to AllClass.
