[castor-dev] Mapping Collections - Vectors - Using Castor

[coughlac]

Hi all, I have encountered one more problem. I looked at the mailing list so far and tried a few variations of my mapping file ( collection = “vector” ; collection=”enumerate”; container=”false” ) but to no avail. I shall explain:   I need to create the following xml:   <Message> <RequestedReports>                         <Report Type=”Exception”/>                         <Report Type=”COA”/> </RequestedReports> </Message>   I also have to use pre-existing java objects (i.e. not created using castors source generator).   I have a Message object that contains a Vector of Report objects. This vector represents the RequestedReports element. The code may explain this better:   import com.mypackage.Report; import java.util.Enumeration; import java.util.Vector; public class Message { private Vector mRequestedReportsVector; public Message() { this.mRequestedReportsVector = new Vector(); }                         public void addReport( Report pNewReport)             {                         this.mRequestedReportsVector.add(Report);             }   public Report getReport( int  pNewIndex)             {                         return (Report) mRequestedReportsVector.elementAt(pNewIndex);             }     public void addReport( Report pNewReport)             {                         this.mRequestedReportsVector.add(Report);             }               public Enumeration enumerateRequestedReports()             {                         return this.mRequestedReportsVector;             }               .                       .             .   }   package com.mypackage; public class Report {             private string mType;                                     public Report()             {             }                         public void setType( String pNewType)             {                         this.mType = pNewType;             }               public String getType()             {                         return mType;             }                         .                       .             .   }     Lastly, I have a mapping file as follows <mapping> <class name=”Message”>             <field name=”mRequestedReportVector” type=”com.mypackage.Report” collection=”enumerate” container=”false” get-method=”enumerateRequestedReports”>                         <bind-xml name=”RequestedReports”/>             </field> </class>   <class name=”com.mypackage.Report”>             <map-to xml=”Report”/>             <field name=”mType” type=”string” get-method=”getType” set-method=”setType”>                         <bind-xml name=”Type” node=”attribute”/>             </field> </class> </mapping>   However the resulting xml is as follows: <Message>             <RequestedReports Type=”EXCEPTION”/> </Message>   Can anyone tell me if my mapping file is incorrect or if this is a “bug” in castor (i.e. that I will have to wrap my vector into it’s own class in order to give it an element tag in the XML)???
