Team,
I have not been able to get the Collections wrapping property set in
castor.properties to work correctly.
I know that the properties are read correctly, cuz the indent and the debug
from the same file produces the desired result.
There seems to be a way to set the property programatically in the
Introspector class. , But how do I tie the introspector to the marshaller
object and the mapping object.
Am I missing something here? I am trying to get my XML output to work the
same way as explained in the API.
WRAP_COLLECTIONS_PROPERTY
public static final java.lang.String WRAP_COLLECTIONS_PROPERTY
The property name for enabling collection wrapping. The property
controls whether or not collections (arrays, vectors, etc) should be wrapped
in a container element. For example:
<foos>
<foo>foo1</foo>
<foo>foo2</foo>
</foos>
instead of the default:
<foos>foo1<foos>
<foos>foo2</foos>
Use this property with a value of true or false in the castor.properties
file org.exolab.castor.xml.introspector.wrapCollections=true -or-
org.exolab.castor.xml.introspector.wrapCollections=false This property is
false by default.
