import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
@XmlRootElement
public class Book {
private String name;
private String author;
private String price;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
@XmlElement
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getAuthor() {
return author;
}
@XmlElement
public void setAuthor(String author) {
this.author = author;
}
public String getPrice() {
return price;
}
@XmlElement
public void setPrice(String price) {
this.price = price;
}
}

JAXBObjectToXML.java

package com.javadevelopersguide;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;
import javax.xml.bind.Marshaller;
/**
 *
 * @author Manoj
 *
 */
public class JAXBObjectToXML {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
Book book=new Book();
book.setAuthor("M Bardhan");
book.setName("Java Cookbook");
book.setPrice("$200");
try {
JAXBContext jaxbContext=JAXBContext.newInstance(Book.class);
Marshaller marshaller=jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT,true);
marshaller.marshal(book, System.out);
} catch (JAXBException e) {
System.out.println("Error occured ::"+e.getMessage());
}
}
}

Output XML :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<book>
    <author>M Bardhan</author>
    <name>Java Cookbook</name>
    <price>$200</price>
</book>
