Thanks but I had to define a dummy load and a dummy
size method to make it work. I'll send my mapping
file over tomorrow.
Jibx is easy when you are going from object to xml,
but not the other way.
I'm working on some extensions to Jibx soap. For one,
I want to be able to cache marshalled xml and serve it
rather than having to generate xml from cached
objects.

I just recently had to solve a similar problem.
It's not perfect, since
you have to add an "add" method to the target object
(I just call it
"addIgnored") which ignores the elements, but it
would look like this:
<struct name="ItemAttrribute"
class="com.smuts.aws.ItemAttribute">
<collection add-method="addIgnored">
<value style="element" name="Actor" />
</collection>
<value style="element" field="director"
name="Director" />
With an extra method in the ItemAttributes class
like this:
public void addIgnored( Object o )
{
// Do nothing
}
(just making the collection usage="optional" doesn't
work - the jibx
compiler won't compile a collection element that
doesn't have some means
of adding it to the parent object, unfortunately).
I found this difficult to determine from the
published docs; I added
some samples up on the Wiki, but if anybody's
working on revamping the
documentation ;) I hope he'll see fit to include my
samples (or similar
ones) in the "official" tutorial.

Subject: [jibx-users] Optional collection
I have an xml file that has more data than I want to
map to my objects.
I can skip singly occuring elements with a structure
with just a name
that is marked optional. However, how can I handle
unbounded elements
that I don't want to map?
The Aws wsdl has lots of these.
http://aws-beta.amazon.com/AWSAlexa/AWSAlexa.wsdl
For example, say I get an item like the one below
back and I don't want
the actor element in the itemattributes section. I
could put three
structures in, but then as soon as I get a movie
with 4 actors listed,
it will break.
