How to serialize a <String, String> map using Simple XML?

Question

How are you going to serialize the map using simple XML so that it looks something like this:

<elem foo="value">key</elem>

Instead of the usual

<elem foo="key">value</elem>

(The map is one for many, and since it will be edited by people, I would like it to be clearer.)

[EDIT]: Not a fix.

Answer 1

Have you tried something like:

@ElementMap(entry="property", value="value", attribute=true, inline=true)
private Map<String, String> map;

or some combination, i.e. also use other @ElementMap annotation attributes ?
