RE: [castor-user] Xml mapping question

[Green, Jason M.]

Nevermind, I solved it.  It was the extra slash I had added at the end
in my mapping file location attribute

Jason-

I was able to unmarshal your xml example with a few minor changes to
your mapping file.  First, I added a <map-to xml="MDADocument" />
element inside of the <class name="xml.plan.PlanData"> element.  This
tells castor when it sees <MDADocument> at the root element, to use the
mapping specified for the class xml.plan.PlanData.

As far as the defenseDesignDocument is concerned, you can use the
location attribute in the bind-xml element to tell Castor that the extra
element exists.  The mapping document I had success with is below (note
the change in class names -- you'll need to set it back to fit your
class structure).

<mapping>
   <class name="castor.green.one.PlanData">
     <map-to xml="MDADocument" />

     <field name="documentName" type="string" >
       <bind-xml name="documentName" node="element"
                 location="defenseDesignDocument" />
     </field>

     <field name="creationDate" type="string" >
       <bind-xml name="creationDate" node="element"
                 location="defenseDesignDocument" />
     </field>

     <field name="createdBy" type="string" >
       <bind-xml name="createdBy" node="element"
                 location="defenseDesignDocument" />
     </field>

     <field name="classification" type="string" >
       <bind-xml name="classification" node="element"
                 location="defenseDesignDocument" />
     </field>
   </class>
</mapping>
