Hi Phong...
Currently our mapping framework cannot directly handle your situation.
Can you modify PathAssociation such that is has an addProperty method:
something like:
addProptery(Property property) {
if ("pathAssociationId".equals(property.getName())) {
setPathAssociationId(property);
}
else if (...) {
...
}
}
I know it's not ideal, but it would actually be more efficient than
using XSLT.
