Answer 1

I think you can use the @JacksonXmlRootElement like this:

public class Album {
    private String name;
    private int year;
    
    @JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "album")
    public Album(String name, int year) {
        this.name = name;
        this.year = year;
    }
    @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute = true)
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }    
    @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute = true)
    public int getYear() {
        return year;
    }
}

This can be adapted with @JacksonXmlElementWrapper or @JacksonXmlProperty based on your structure.
