@JacksonXmlProperty appears to behave differently than @JsonProperty when used on java records

[alexkolson]

Hello there,

First off, I have created a test repository on github where you can see this for yourself, either in the github action runs or by checking it out locally and running mvn test: jackson-annotation-processing-experiment.

It seems that as soon as one specifies a @JacksonXmlProperty annotation on a java record property, then one has to supply the localName argument to the annotation, otherwise, when deserializing an xml document into the record representation, you get a "Duplicate creator property" error. This is different behavior than @JsonProperty, which one can specify on a record without supplying it any arguments and it works just fine.

I am aware that one can simply not add any annotation, and deserialization works just fine. I noticed this issue though when trying to use isAttribute=true on a @JacksonXmlProperty on a java record, as an xml document I need to deserialize uses attributes. I am also aware that once you specify localName, deserialization also works. What puzzles me is that the simple presence of a @JacksonXmlProperty annotation on a java record seems to require the specification of localName, whereas this does not appear to be the case for @JsonProperty.

Any help or tips or ideas you have would be greatly appreciated!

And of course thanks for making such an awesome tool for us, and I realize you owe me absolutely nothing but if you do happen to get a moment to look at this, it would be super cool!
