import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Employee.class);

    Marshaller m = context.createMarshaller();
    m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);

    Employee object = new Employee();
    object.setCode("CA");
    object.setName("Cath");
    object.setSalary(300);

    m.marshal(object, System.out);
    
    //to a file
    m.marshal(object, new FileOutputStream("result.xml"));

@XmlRootElement
class Employee {
  private String code;

  private String name;
