hi bill,

there are two ways to accomplish that:
first, if your input and output binding will be the same in each situation, you can use different mappings by specifying the direction="output" or direction="input" attribute in the binding element, see
http://jibx.sourceforge.net/tutorial/binding-advanced.html

second, you can use named bindings. you can specify a name in the binding element, and in your java code, you can specify which named binding you want to use. this allows you to use as many different bindings as you like or need. see the binding definition at http://jibx.sourceforge.net/details/binding-element.html for more details on the attribute "name". i think there is also some more detailed explanation in the tutorial, but i couldn't find it now.

br,
günther

Hi,

I've recently started using JibX - really useful, thank you.

But, of course, I have a question. I sense there may be several ways to accomplish what I wish to do and I would appreciate guidance on the "best practice" way. Here is what I would like to accomplish:

I have a complex, custom Java object. I receive an xml representation of it (actually a subset of it.) I can parse the subset without a problem. I now wish to produce another xml representation of it (same object) but publishing different facets of it. Structurally the resultant xml would look different than the input xml: meta data inserted, aggregation performed, some field elided.

In this specific situation, it makes sense to maintain a single object with multiple views. Is there a "best practice" jibx approach?

Thanks,

Bill
