Well, I have attempted at a mapping file but obviously it is not working.
This exception ("Illegal Text data found as child of: langstring") is given
even when I use the static unmarshaller method w/o loading mappings.
It might help if I clarify what I want to acomplish instead of complicating
your thoughts with the mapping files.
I want to unmarshal an element that contains both attributes and text
content:
ex: <title lang="en">title</title>
What I want to know is if Castor can do that or not? All the examples that
I have looked at either had elements with attributes or elements that just
wraps text content but not BOTH so i am at lost to create a proper mapping
for this.
Thanks.
PS:
here is my attempt at the mapping file which i don't know if it is correct
or not. the mapping file only supply partial information, it is not a
complete list of all the classes.:
