[castor-dev] Re: [castor-dev]Casting AnyObject into Castor object

[Vaidya, Prajakta P]

Hi Pete and Tim,   Thanks a lot for your help. Pete’s solution is exactly the operation that I have wanted to do. and I appreciate your prompt responses.   I do have an issue with it though that comes up after Marshalling the XML into a string. The schema for VIDEOMD requires the elements to be “qualified” and the marshalled xml string only has an “xmlns” attribute. It doesn’t have a prefix on every element. So when I unmarshall it, the operation doesn’t give an error, but I cannot access the data. Also the original document from which I am doing the unmarshalling contains prefixed tags for VIDEOMD. So the prefixes are being dropped somewhere in between.   Has anyone encountered a similar situation? What would a good workaround for this. Please note that I haven’t used any mapping file as yet. Is that the way I need to go?   Thanks, Prajakta   -----Original Message----- From: Pete Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 11:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [castor-dev] RE: - [castor-dev] Casting AnyObject into Castor object - Sending mail server found on relays.ordb.org   I’m not sure if this is your question but if you’re XML Schema has :-   <xs:any>   Then after unmarshalling, you can do a   xxx.getAnyObject()   on the element that contains the any node, which gives an Object[].   If you want to unmarshall the any node contents separately you just marshall each Object in the array to the same StringWriter. This gives you the contents of the any node as an XML String.   You can then unmarshall the XML String using castor to another set of castor generated classes providing you have an XML Schema(s) for the any node portion or a mapping file.   Pete   From: Vaidya, Prajakta P [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 March 2004 14:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SPAM] - [castor-dev] Casting AnyObject into Castor object - Sending mail server found on relays.ordb.org     I am repeating my previous question here and hope to explain it better.   I have two xsd files “mets” and “VideoMD”.   The “Mets” xsd contains an <any> element. As part of my application, I know that I will have VIDEOMD elements present as the AnyObject.   I want to access the fields of this VIDEOMD element. When I retrieve the AnyObject , and query its class, it returns this as VIDEOMD. But I do not understand if I can unmarshall this AnyObject into the VIDEOMD object. This appears like a dynamic unmarshall operation.   I have been reading the message board and couldn’t figure this out.
