Re: [castor-dev] Strange, strange, *strange* problem marshalling an XML file... Location problem?

[Gregory Block]

I'm continuing to have problems with heavy use of the "location" tag not returning expected results. Is this a supportable implementation (whether it be current CVS or previous release)?

For example, I've got something like....

<!-- XML -->
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<RateList>
<Rate TimeOfRate="10am" TypeOfRate="fwd3mos" Id="1">
<Date>2004-01-05</Date>
<Country UnitName="Euro">European Monetary Union</Country>
<Value InUsd="true">1.2637</Value>
</Rate>
<Rate TimeOfRate="10am" TypeOfRate="fwd3mos" Id="2">
<Date>2004-01-05</Date>
<Country UnitName="Yen">Japan</Country>
<Value InUsd="false">105.93</Value>
</Rate>
</RateList>

<field name="id" direct="true" type="integer">

</field>
<field name="date" direct="true" type="string">

</field>
<field name="country" direct="true" type="string" required="true">
<bind-xml name="Country" node="element"/>
</field>
<field name="unitName" direct="true" type="string" required="true">
<bind-xml name="UnitName" location="Country" node="attribute"/>
</field>
<field name="value" direct="true" type="double" required="true">
<bind-xml name="Value" node="element"/>
</field>
<field name="inUSD" direct="true" type="boolean" required="true">
<bind-xml name="InUSD" location="Value" node="attribute"/>
</field>
<field name="value" direct="true" type="double" required="true">
<bind-xml name="Value" node="element"/>
</field>
</class>
</mapping>

And when used on the XML object, I can choose to EITHER extract the attribute data, OR extract the value. This obviously isn't incredibly helpful. :) I need both sets of data.
