[castor-user] Why aren't objects such as Vectors, ArrayLists not Marshalled?

[Rochana Attale]

Hi,

 

Here is my code:

 

========================================

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.*;

 

public class TestObj implements Serializable {

  private Vector list;

 

  public TestObj(Vector v) {
    list = v;
  }
}

========================================

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.exolab.castor.xml.Marshaller;
import org.exolab.castor.xml.*;

public class test {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    // Create a new TestObj
    Vector v = new Vector();
    v.add("Element 1");
    v.add("Element 2");
    TestObj test = new TestObj(v);
    // Create a File to marshal to
    try {
      FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(new File("D:\\test.xml"));

      Marshaller.marshal(test, writer);
    }
    catch (MarshalException ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch (ValidationException ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch (IOException ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }

  }

}

My problem is that "test.xml" ends up looking like this without the Vector:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<test-obj/>

 

But if I marshalled the vector object by saying "Marshaller.marshal(v, writer);" the Vector is properly Marshalled.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Rochana
