Re: [castor-dev] problem of XML structure

[Arnaud Blandin]

Hi Bruno,

You can use at least 3 methods:
        1- use XSLT to replace the <LISTE_PERSONNES> tags by better tags

        2- use an XML Schema to represent the structure of your XML and
generate java classes with the SourceGenerator

<element name="LISTE_PERSONNES" maxOccurs="2">
   <complexType>
      <choice>
           <element name="realisateur" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
         <element name="acteurs maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
      </choice>
   </complexType>
</element>
        
        3- use a mapping file to describe the class LISTE_PERSONNES and
use the 'container' attribute in the 'field' element...sorry but this
one is not yet documented.


Hope that helps,

Arnaud
