XmlID & XmlIDREF

[Ivan Vitoria Sanchez]

Hello,

 

I have some parent/child associations (one-to-one and many-to-one) between
my beans. To avoid cyclic references, i'm annotating these beans with @XmlID
and @XmlIDREF. Sometimes the bean is marshalled as follows:

 

<child>

     <id>2</id>

     <parent>1</parent>

</child>

 

But other times my output is:

 

<child>

     <id>2</id>

     <parent><id>1</id></parent>

</child>

 

Do you know why this is happening?

                

Thanks,

 

Ivan
