[castor-user] [XML] Cannot unmarshal to class with a Vector as attribute

[Alessandro Marino]

Hi,
I can't unmarshal an xml data file to a class with a Vector as attribute.
Suppose that I have a simple class like this:

public class SimpleObj {        
        private String sn;
        private Vector itemList; //this attribute contains only String object
        
        public String getSn() {
                return sn;
        }       
        public void setSn(String sn) {
                this.sn = sn;
        }       
        public Vector getItemList() {
                return itemList;
        }                                                 
        public void setItemList(Vector itemList) {
                this.itemList = itemList;
        }
}
     
I also have an xml file with the data to unmarshal:
<simple-obj>
   <sn>21232CVX34</sn>
   <item-list>first item</item-list>
   <item-list>second item</item-list>
   <item-list>third item</item-list>
</simple-obj>

I wrote the following mapping file:
<mapping>
    <class name="SimpleObj" auto-complete="false">
        <map-to xml="simple-obj"/>
            <field name="sn" type="string" required="true" direct="false" 
transient="false">
            <bind-xml name="sn" node="element" reference="false"/>
        </field>
           <field name="itemList" type="string" required="true" direct="false" 
transient="false" collection="vector">
            <bind-xml name="item-list" node="element" reference="false"/>
        </field>
    </class>
</mapping>

Then I unmarshal the xml data file using the Castor APIs: 
    Mapping mapping = new Mapping();
    mapping.loadMapping( "mapping.xml" );

    Unmarshaller unmarshaller = new Unmarshaller(SimpleObj.class);
    SimpleObj simpleObj = (SimpleObj)unmarshaller.unmarshal(new InputSource(new 
FileReader("sample.xml")));
    
But I always get the exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Illegal Text data found as child of: item-list
  value: "first item"
        at org.exolab.castor.xml.UnmarshalHandler.endElement(UnmarshalHandler.java:806)
        at 
org.exolab.castor.xml.UnmarshalHandler.endElement(UnmarshalHandler.java:1038)
        at org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser.endElement(SAXParser.java:1403)
        at 
org.apache.xerces.validators.common.XMLValidator.callEndElement(XMLValidator.java:1480)
        
How can I modify the xml data file or the mapping file in order to correctly unmarshal 
data to SimpleObj class?

Thanks,
Alessandro
