Would it be possible to bind it with jibx if I had
only 2 types of <x>
element?
Something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<binding>
<mapping name="y" class="y">
<value name="y1" field="y1"/>
<value name="y2" field="y2"/>
<value name="y3" field="y3"/>
<structure name="x" field="x" usage="optional">
<value name="a" field="a"/>
...
</structure>
<structure name="x1" field="x1" usage="optional">
<value name="a1" field="a1"/>
...
</structure>
</mapping>
</binding>
<y>
<y1></y1>
<y2></y2>
<y3></y3>
<x1>
<a1></a1>
....
</x1>
</y>
Or:
<y>
<y1></y1>
<y2></y2>
<y3></y3>
<x>
<a></a>
....
</x>
</y>
Thanks!

Subject: Re: [jibx-users] How to bind this?
That's a lot more difficult than you might expect
(using JiBX, or any
other form of XML processing I'm aware of). The
problem is that JiBX is
using a parser for reading the data from the document,
and parsers don't
allow you to just suddenly start reading raw text
(tags and all). It
would be possible to do this with a custom
unmarshaller that would
basically take the parsed XML and turn it back into a
text string, but
even once this was done you'd have no way to include
this directly in a
marshalled output.
A better solution may be to use the DOM or dom4j
marshaller/unmarshaller
support in beta 3a. These let you convert the <y>
element to a tree of
component objects you can access using the standard
DOM or dom4j APIs.
If you want to just get the XML text as a String, I
think the dom4j
asXML() method will return it. Doing it this way also
means it'll
marshal back out properly, if that's a concern.
