You might try something like
<collection create-type=”java.util.ArrayList” field=”childElems”>
<structure name=”ChildElem”><value name=”ChildElemValue” style=”attribute”
type=”java.lang.String”/></structure>
</collection>
That is, the collection has no name, in particular, but is composed of a bunch
of ‘ChildElem’ elements. The ‘ChildElem’ elements, themselves, don’t have any
special binding to an object, but are just structural XML, containing an
attribute named “ChildElemValue” which is a String.
Not absolutely sure this will work right, but it might.

Subject: [jibx-users] Unmarshalling attributes of child element to a collection
Hello,
I am trying to use JiBX to parse a larger XML, which includes a structure
similar to the ones noted below:
Schema:
<xs:complexType name="Parent">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="ChildElem" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="ChildElemValue" type="xs:string"
use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="Child1" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:attribute name="Child2" type="xs:int"/>
</xs:complexType>
Sample Value:
<Parent Child1="AttrVal" Child2="999">
<ChildElem ChildElemValue="SomeVal"/>
<ChildElem ChildElemValue="SomeVal2"/>
</Parent>
The equivalent class I am trying to map this to is:
public class Parent {
private String child1;
private int Child2;
private List<String> childElems;
}
I am trying to write a mapping for marshalling and unmarshalling, without
requiring a class to represent the ChildElem, because all it will ever have is
a string in the ChildElemValue attribute.
I am open to (but not experienced with) custom Marshaller / Unmarshaller, and
if so, I would like to reuse them as much as possible, as there are similar
structures as above (with different element / attribute names) all over the
project.
Any help or direction in accomplishing this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bindul
