    <p>We are using JAXB to generate Java classes and have encountered a few cases where generated plural method names are not correct. For example, where we expect <code>getPhysicians</code> we are getting <code>getPhysicien</code>. How would we customize how JAXB pluralizes specific methods?</p> <p>The schema:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xs:complexType name="physician"&gt; &lt;xs:sequence&gt; ... &lt;/xs:sequence&gt; &lt;/xs:complexType&gt; &lt;xs:complexType name="physicianList"&gt; &lt;xs:sequence&gt; &lt;xs:element name="Physician" type="physician" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/&gt; &lt;/xs:sequence&gt; &lt;/xs:complexType&gt; </code></pre> <p>The generated Java code:</p> <pre><code>... public class PhysicianList { ... @XmlElement(name = "Physician") protected List&lt;Physician&gt; physicien; ... public List&lt;Physician&gt; getPhysicien() { if (physicien == null) { physicien = new ArrayList&lt;Physician&gt;(); } return this.physicien; } </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>This has been answered by Blaise. However, I prefer not mixing concerns such as JAXB customizations in an XML schema. So for those of you with the same preference, here is a JAXB binding file that achieves the same thing as what Blaise suggested, keeping JAXB customization out of the schema:</p> <pre><code>&lt;jaxb:bindings xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="2.0"&gt; &lt;jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="myschema.xsd"&gt; &lt;jaxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[@name='physicianList']//xs:element[@name='Physician']"&gt; &lt;jaxb:property name="physicians"/&gt; &lt;/jaxb:bindings&gt; &lt;/jaxb:bindings&gt; &lt;/jaxb:bindings&gt; </code></pre>

    2. COXJC actually bases it on the element name for lists, so you could have just called your element name physicians. BUT (and it is a big but...) if you do this, there is is still a quirk in that when you re-marshal the object using JAXB each element will have the plural name 'physicians'. Very odd. So that said, I have used your approach and it works all round.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
