[castor-dev] problem of XML structure

[Bruno THOMAS]

Hi all,

The problem I have is more an applicative problem, but I'd like the 
castor-experts point of view if they don't mind. I receive the cinema 
showtimes in an XML file. The structure of a film is the following :

<FILM UID="FI9047480" anneeRealisation="1999" anneeSortie="2000" duree="121" 
dateMiseEnSalle="20000412" dowMiseEnSalle="Jeu">
        <TITREFRANCAIS>A tombeau ouvert</TITREFRANCAIS>
        <TITREORIGINAL>Bringing out the Dead</TITREORIGINAL>
        <TYPE code="1">exclusivit&eacute;</TYPE>
        <GENRE code="DR">drame</GENRE>
        <COULEUR code="0">couleur</COULEUR>
        <INTERDICTIONS code="1">int. -12 ans</INTERDICTIONS>
        <LISTE_PERSONNES>
               <REALISATEUR UID="70">Martin Scorsese</REALISATEUR>
        </LISTE_PERSONNES>
        <LISTE_PERSONNES>
               <ACTEUR UID="2422">Nicolas Cage</ACTEUR>
               <ACTEUR UID="2423">John Goodman</ACTEUR>
               <ACTEUR UID="1517">Ving Rhames</ACTEUR>
               <ACTEUR UID="2424">Patricia Arquette</ACTEUR>
               <ACTEUR UID="2425">Tom Sizemore</ACTEUR>
        </LISTE_PERSONNES>      
        <NATIONALITE>am&eacute;ricain</NATIONALITE>
        <RESUME>Frank sillonne tous les soirs........</RESUME>
</FILM>

The problem is the <LISTE_PERSONNES> that occurs twice for different objects 
(I think that we can't have polymorphic collections), and the name of the 
actors and realisators that are not explicitely given a tag.

I tried several configuration, but I can't see a solution. Do you see a 
workaroud (even if it is a scrit that corrects the structure before 
unmashalling, I see one : deleting </LISTE_PERSONNES> and adding a tag name 
to the actor and director tags), or have I to create a specific SAX parser ?

Thanks for you opinions

Bruno Thomas
