Re: [jibx-users] multiple <mapping> definitions for the same class, with different element names.

[Steve Quirk]

You want to use abstract mappings: 
http://jibx.sourceforge.net/tutorial/binding-mappings.html

Something like 
<mapping class="CompanyName" abstract="true">
   <value style="attribute" name="name" field="name"/>
   <value style="attribute" name="code" field="code"/>
</mapping>

Then the reference would be something like
  <structure name="AgencyName" field="company"/>
where "company" is an ivar of type CompanyName

Hi all,

I've read in the archive that it's possible to define multiple <mapping> for the
same class with different element names *if* the direction of binding is *only*
input.
I've tried but there are errors and I think it's impossible....

I have for example this class

CompanyName {
     String name;
     String code;
}

and I want to bind this class to 2 different elements: <CompanyName> and
<AgencyName> (only the element name change)

----------  XML -----------------
.......
<CompanyName name="IBMC" code="1" />
<AgencyName name="IBMA" code="2">
......
----------------------------------

so the binding with *global mapping*:

-------------- BINDING   -------------------------------
<binding direction="input">

<!-- COMPANY NAME -->
<mapping name="CompanyName" class="test.CompanyName">
   <value name="name" field="name"  style="attribute" />
   <value name="code" filed="code" style="attribute" />
</mapping>

<!-- AGENCY NAME -->
<mapping name="AgencyName" class="test.CompanyName">
   <value name="name" field="name"  style="attribute" />
   <value name="code" filed="code" style="attribute" />
</mapping>

</binding
----------------------------------------------------------------

So It's correct that also with direction binding to input is impossible to
define multiple mappings for the same class with different elements names??

Thank you

Davide.
