Describe the bug

Hello there!

Hopefully this is the right project to report this issue:

In a project that uses the following annotations for a class:

@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "rule")
@JsonTypeInfo(use=JsonTypeInfo.Id.MINIMAL_CLASS, include= JsonTypeInfo.As.PROPERTY, property="@class")
public interface IRulePojo {

The parsing starts to fail now when switching from 2.16.2 to 2.17.+. The xmlpull claims:

org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: name expected (position:START_TAG @3:11 in java.io.InputStreamReader@378f09a)

This issue can be avoided by not using "@", so changing the property to "_class", for example. Is this a deliberate change, or an issue that could be resolved with an update?

Thanks for any input!

The preferred XML parser for this module is Woodstox. Could you try that instead of the xmlpull parser?

Explanation is unfortunately not enough to understand the issue -- we'd need to see some code, to see what exactly is being done. And how is XPP parser relevant here? What kind of XML is being read (and written by what)?

Thanks for your input! Unfortunately the project setup in which the issue occurs is not that easy to break down and change the parser in for me, so I was hoping it might be some obvious change for the 2.17 version that doesn't need reproducible examples. Since this is not the case I'd close the ticket then since a modernization would first be needed anyway. If the same obstacles occur, I'd re-open a ticket with more information and a sample project then. Sorry for the trouble!

@ceggert87 Makes sense: please do file a new issue as necessary!
