Re: [castor-user] [XML] Skip generating an element

[Nischala Kale]

I tried using transient attribute - it supresses generating xml for the method - and 
any subsequent classes as well..
 
The mapping file looks similar to -
<class name="foo">
  <field name="zoo" />
</class>
<class name="zoo">
  <field name="bar"/>
</class>
 
As expected, this will generate <foo><zoo><bar/></zoo></foo>
I wanted to be able to skip generating zoo, but still get bar.
If  I use the transient attribute, I get <foo/>
 
The reason I was looking for functionality as above is that while we are following an 
industry standard schema to work with other companies, there is this one company that 
does not follow the standard schema. To be able to generate xml for them, I need to 
write a mapping file that is able to skip over certain elements, and add their 
children to the parent element instead. 
 
Thanks

        Well, I'm not actually using the mapping files, but I noticed the following in 
the doc in the description of the <field> element:
        
         "transient: if true, this field will be ignored during the marshalling.
          This is usefull in when used with the auto-complete option."
        
        
        Did you try that?
