Hi! I run into a new problem. I want to use different "views" for some entity, therefore I use abstract mappings; because some times I need to marshall out only the entity without its details, and in some context the details should be marshalled too. So I use a binding like this.: <mapping class="xmldemo.Partner" abstract="true" type-name="partner-type"> <value field="id" name="id" ident="def" /> <value filed="name" name="name" /> </mapping> <mapping class="xmldemo.Partner" name="partner"> <structure map-as="partner-type"/> <collection name="leftRelations" field="leftRelations" item-type="xmldemo.PartnerRelation" usage="optional"/> <collection name="rightRelations" field="rightRelations" item-type="xmldemo.PartnerRelation" usage="optional" /> </mapping> <mapping class="xmldemo.PartnerRelation" name="partner-relation"> <value name="id" field="id"/> <value name="relationType" field="relationType" /> <value field="leftPartner" name="leftRelation" ident="ref" /> <!-- the type of this field in java is: xmldemo.Partner --> <value field="rightPartner" name="rightRelation" ident="ref" /> <!-- the type of this field in java is: xmldemo.Partner --> <!-- if I marshall here by the "partner" mapping, then it will be an infitinite loop, so I need only the abstract "partner-type", but only the ident="ref" would enough for me --> <!--structure field="leftPartner" name="leftRelation" map-as="partner-type" /--> </mapping> But this cause an error, because jibx don't find ID definition in the "partner" mapping, which is the mapping for the java type. Is there a 'map-as' like attribute for the 'value' tag? What can I do with it? Should I write custom marshaller / unmarshaller?
