java - issues while Unmarshalling using JaxB -

i have following xml file unmarshall

<root>   <emp>google</emp>   <emp>yahoo</emp>   <xyz>random</xyz> </root> 

and have used annotations in following way,

@xmlrootelement(name = "root") @xmlaccessortype(xmlaccesstype.field) public class abc {     @xmlelement(name = "emp")    private string emp1;    @xmlelement(name = "emp")    private string emp2;    @xmlelement(name = "xyz")    private string xyz;    // added getters , setters these fields } 

my problem while i'm trying get

   obj.getemp1(); // result yahoo instead of google    obj.getemp2(); // result null. 

kindly clarify me, doing wrong?

if whatever reason cannot use moxy, solution map emp element list

@xmlrootelement(name = "root") @xmlaccessortype(xmlaccesstype.field) public class abc {    @xmlelement(name = "emp")    private list<string> emp;    @xmlelement(name = "xyz")    private string xyz;    // added getters , setters these fields } 

and use following code values:

obj.getemp().get(0); obj.getemp().get(1); 

but blaise's solution more elegant

you have string[] field , have current accessor methods access string[].

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;  @xmlrootelement(name = "root") @xmlaccessortype(xmlaccesstype.field) public class abc {      private string[] emp = new string[2];     private string xyz;      public string getemp1() {         return emp[0];     }      public void setemp1(string emp1) {         this.emp[0] = emp1;     }      public string getemp2() {         return emp[1];     }      public void setemp2(string emp2) {         this.emp[1] = emp2;     }      public string getxyz() {         return xyz;     }      public void setxyz(string xyz) {         this.xyz = xyz;     }  }
