[castor-dev] Unmarshalling using field mapping of type"java.math.BigDecimal"

[Ide Roth]

I have some legacy Java codes that I'm not allow to make change to but I've to convert 
to XML and vice versa.  I'm able to marshal  the Java code to XML. When I tried to 
unmarshal, I get an error message with the mimeId.
    This is the error message I recieved:
      -->Error : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Type conversion error: could not 
set value mimeId(java.math.BigDecimal) with value of type java.lang.String

Could you let me know why I'm getting this error message during the unmarshal process?


I have the following Java class and mapping file. 

Java class:

public class MimeType {
  
  private BigDecimal mimeId;
  private String mimeType;
  private String mimeDescription;

  public MimeType()
  {
    mimeId = null;
    mimeType = null;
    mimeDescription = null;
  }

  public BigDecimal getMimeId()
  {
    return mimeId;
  }

  public void setMimeId(BigDecimal id)
  {
    this.mimeId = id;
  }

  public String getMimeType()
  {
    return mimeType;
  }

  public void setMimeType(String type)
  {
    this.mimeType = type;
  }

  public String getMimeDescription()
  {
    return mimeDescription;
  }

  public void setMimeDescription(String mimeDesc)
  {
    this.mimeDescription = mimeDesc;
  }
}

Mapping file:

<mapping>

  <!--  Mapping for Mime Types  -->
  <class name="MimeType"
         identity="mimeId">
    <description>Mime types</description>
    <field name="mimeId" type="big-decimal" >
    </field>
    <field name="mimeType" type="string">
    </field>
    <field name="mimeDescription" type="string">
    </field>
  </class>

</mapping>


thank you in advance,
Ide
