[castor-dev] Possible to Map a Flat XML Message to Multiple Objects?

[Scott Sims]

Hi,

I've searched the archives and haven't found a similar posting so here's the
question...

I have a flat (1 level of depth) XML message coming in that needs to be
unmarshalled to a class that contains multiple other classes.  Of course,
only being 1 level deep the incoming XML has no concept of anything more
then 1 class.  For example:

Incoming XML:

<MsgA>
    <Data1>1</Data1>
    <Data2>2</Data2>
    <Data3>3</Data3>
    <Data4>4</Data4>
    <Data5>5</Data5>
</MsgA>

Classes to be mapped to:

public class MsgA {
   private int           data2;
   private SubMsg1 sub1;
   private SubMsg2 sub2;
   private SubMsg3 sub3;
}

public class SubMsg1 {
    private int data1;
    private int data5;
}

public class SubMsg2 {
    private int data3;
}

public class SubMsg3 {
    private int data4;
}


We would like the resulting objects to look like this once that XML is
unmarshalled:

MsgA
    data2 = 2

    SubMsg1.data1 = 1;
    SubMsg1.data5 = 5;

    SubMsg2.data3 = 3;

    SubMsg3.data4 = 4;

Is it possible to go from a flat message like that to a multiple layer
object?


Thanks,

Scott
