[castor-dev] Issue with marshalling using wrapper and array - Castor 1.1.2

[Sarathi Balasundaram]

 Hi

          This is my first stab at using Castor...It has been good learning
curve so
          far. I am presently stuck with something and would need your help
in
          resolving it.



          The output xml that I am looking for should be as below

          <my-response>
                      <employee-wrapper>
                            <manager/>
                      </employee-wrapper>

                      <employee-wrapper>
                            <manager/>
                      </employee-wrapper>

          </my-response>



          My mapping looks as below

                  <class name="MyResponse" auto-complete=
          "true">
                      <map-to xml="my-response"/>
                      <field name="employees" type="Employee"
collection="array">
                            <bind-xml auto-naming="deriveByClass" location=
          "employee-wrapper" node="element"/>
                      </field>
                  </class>


          Employee is an abstract class. Manager and Worker are concrete
          classes that extend Employee class.

          The WSDL definition for employee-wrapper is

               <xs:element name="employeeWrapper">
                    <xs:complexType>
                      <xs:choice>
                         <xs:element name="manager" type="Manager"/>
                         <xs:element name="worker" type="Worker"/>
                      </xs:choice>
                    </xs:complexType>
                 </xs:element>

          So, the employeeWrapper can have either manager or worker or both


          But the problem that I am facing are of 2 kinds


          1. When 2 managers are a part of the employeeWrapper , it fails
with
          org.exolab.castor.xml.MarshalException: element "manager" occurs
more than
          once.
          2. If there is manager and worker, the output is as below which
          is different from what I expect.

          <my-response>
                      <employee-wrapper>
                            <manager/>
                            <worker/>
                      </employee-wrapper>
          </my-response>


          Any help would be appreciated.

          thanks

          Kind Regards
