| Re: [eclipselink-users] MOXy: mapping constant values? |

There is also a document preservation feature see, XMLDescriptor.setShouldPreserveDocument(). amphoras wrote: > > Hi, > > The situation I have is that there are some constant values that I want to > appear in my XML output document (like application=Foo).
