When I generate an entity class from database and Generate JAXB Annotations is active, then I do not get @XmlType annotation with the propOrder parameter, this annotation is very important when you deploy you EJB to Glassfish, because when the wsdl and xsd files are generated with wsgen you get the complex type definition in xsd file all the elements are in alphabetical order then you lose all the sense of the constructors when you generate your classes from wsdl file.

I don't know if I can configure NetBeans to indicate that I want the @XmlType Annotation with the propOrder parameter

Example

By now NetBeans creates this class

----------------------------------------------
Java Entity Class from Database

@Entity
@Table(name = "employee")
@XmlRootElement
@NamedQueries({
    @NamedQuery(name = "Employee.findAll", query = "SELECT e FROM Employee e")})
public class Employee implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Column(name = "id", nullable = false)
    private Integer id;
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 90)
    @Column(name = "name", nullable = false, length = 90)
    private String name;
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 90)
    @Column(name = "lastName", nullable = false, length = 90)
    private String lastName;
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @NotNull
    @Column(name = "birthdate", nullable = false)
    @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
    private Date birthdate;

    public Employee() {
    }

    public Employee(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Employee(Integer id, String name, String lastName, Date birthdate) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.lastName = lastName;
        this.birthdate = birthdate;
    }

    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public Date getBirthdate() {
        return birthdate;
    }

    public void setBirthdate(Date birthdate) {
        this.birthdate = birthdate;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        int hash = 0;
        hash += (id != null ? id.hashCode() : 0);
        return hash;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object object) {
        // TODO: Warning - this method won't work in the case the id fields are not set
        if (!(object instanceof Employee)) {
            return false;
        }
        Employee other = (Employee) object;
        if ((this.id == null && other.id != null) || (this.id != null && !this.id.equals(other.id))) {
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "jpa.Employee[ id=" + id + " ]";
    }
    
}


XSD Segment of tht File Generated with wsgen (Glassfish)

<xs:complexType name="employee">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="birthdate" type="xs:dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="lastName" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

--------------------------------------------------------------

If you see the elements are ordered alphabetically

... and I need to have this extra line after @XmlRootElement

@XmlType(propOrder={"id", "name", "lastName", "birthdate"})

in order to get this xsd segment

------------------------------------------------------------
<xs:complexType name="employee">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="lastName" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="birthdate" type="xs:dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
-----------------------------------------------------------

This segment is ordered in the same order as the database table columns


Thanks for your help
