Annotation Type ElementState.xml_tag
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Inherited
public static @interface ElementState.xml_tag
Metalanguage declaration that can be applied either to field or to class declarations.
Annotation that tells ecologylab.xml translators that instead of
generating a name for XML elements corresponding to the field or class using camel case conversion,
one is specified explicitly.
This name is specified by the value of this annotation.
Note that programmers should be careful when specifying an xml_tag, to ensure that there are no collisions with
other names. Note that when an xml_tag is specified for a field or class, it will ALWAYS EMIT AND TRANSLATE FROM USING
THAT NAME.
xml_tag's should typically be something that cannot be represented using camel case name conversion, such as
utilizing characters that are not normally allowed in field names, but that are allowed in XML names. This can be
particularly useful for building ElementState objects out of XML from the wild.
You cannot use XML-forbidden characters or constructs in an xml_tag!
When using @xml_tag, you MUST create your corresponding TranslationSpace entry using a Class object,
instead of using a default package name.
