[jibx-users] Collection item of type NULL has no binding defined

[Edward Bielawa]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to marshall an object that contains an ArrayList and keep getting the following exception:

org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException: Collection item of type NULL has no binding defined

I'm using the following binding:

 

<mapping class="Container" name="container" pre-set="preset" post-set="postset">
<value style="element" name="name" field="name" usage="optional"/>
<value style="element" name="description" field="description" usage="optional"/>
<collection name="boxes" field="boxes" item-type="Box" type="java.util.ArrayList" factory="Utils.newArrayListInstance" usage="required"/>
</mapping>
<mapping class="Box" name="box" pre-set="preset" post-set="postset">
<value style="element" name="title" field="title" usage="optional"/>
</mapping>

I've tried:

- removing the item-type

- setting type=java.util.List

- setting usage=optional

- setting factory=org.jibx.runtime.Utility.arrayListFactory

 

but I always get the same error while marshalling my container class:

org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException: Collection item of type NULL has no binding defined

 

I've tried the latest jibx_1_1_beta1 code with no luck.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,
Ed
