[castor-dev] Castor generated XML.

[Scott Venter]

Good day all.   I am using Castor version 0.9.3.9 and in partcular, I am using the XML Schema binding functionality, to generate classes which represent my XML Schema.   Once I have generated the classes, and implemented them, I noticed that the marshaled data which I get from these classes only loosely resembles the XML data I should be seeing.   I have attached first the structure generated by my Castor classes, and then the structure the way it should be.   Castor generated XML:   <?xml version="1.0"?> <transactflex><header codtran="7001"/><txndata><accountdtls accountno="101120000028"/></txndata></transactflex>   Required XML Structure:   <transactflex xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="{0}">    <header codtran="7001"/>    <txndata>  <accountdtls accountno="101120000028"/>    </txndata> </transactflex>   There are three problems in particular that I notice in the Castor generated XML. 1) The marshal method is outputting a single string which has no formatting. Is this a problem? 2) The first line reads <?xml version="1.0"?> and it should not be there, according to the second XML Structure. 3) Some fields in the Castor generated XML have been dropped.   Could anyone please advise me as to why the Castor generated XML is so vastly different to the Second structure, which was supplied to me by the vendor, and consequently works.   The Castor generated XML structure is deemed not valid by the server I am sending it to, but the second structure is accepted and I receive a valid response when sending it to the server.   Many thanks and kind regards Scott.
