This section explains how to create descriptor options specific to an XML descriptor.
For information on how to create more than one type of descriptor, see Creating a Descriptor.
After you create a descriptor, you must configure its various options (see Configuring a Descriptor) and use it to define mappings.
For complete information on the various types of mapping that EclipseLink supports, see Introduction to Mappings and Creating a Mapping.
For complete information on the various types of descriptor that EclipseLink supports, see Descriptor Types.

You can create an XML descriptor using the Workbench or Java code. We recommend that you use the Workbench to create and manage your XML descriptors.

An XML descriptor is always a composite type.
This example shows how to create an XML descriptor using Java code.
[Example 56-1]# Creating an XML Descriptor in Java
