Here is a trick you can use to ignore DataEntityAction:
Add the following to your CostCenter class mapping:
<field name="DataEntityAction" type="string" get-method="toString"
transient="true">
<bind-xml node="element"/>
</field>
Keep in mind this trick will work for only one DataEntityAction element,
so it's not useful for elements with a maxOccurs > 1.
You can use the trick more than once however, so if you have some other
elements that you want to skip, copy the field mapping and change the
name.
Eventually, we will be adding a way to skip elements, directly, but
currently that is the best approach. For more complex cases, you can use
an XSLT transformation to remove unwanted elements.
