Stephen, Sorry about the errors when sending. Did you notice that there were two fields: latitude and longitude? <latitude units="degrees">36.2718</latitude> <longitude units="degrees">44.6302</longitude>
Will having them in separate classes allow me to save the values off properly or is there another way I need to go about unmarshalling them? I forgot to ask that in the last post so I apologize, Jason -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Bash [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 2:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [castor-user] Mapping document to odd fields in xml doc Jason- It looks like there are some transcription errors between your xml and your mapping file (for instance defenseDesignDocument in xml vs. just DesignDocument in the mapping file), but once I fixed those, I got the same error you did. I fixed it by changing the mapping of the Asset class: <class name="Asset"> <field name="latitude" type="Latitude"> <bind-xml name="units" location="properties/location/shape/point/position"/> </field> </class> to: <class name="Asset"> <field name="latitude" type="Latitude"> <bind-xml name="latitude" location="properties/location/shape/point/position"/> </field> </class> Castor was looking at the Asset class instead of the Latitude class for the xml name of the element (this makes sense when to me when I think about digging down through the xml rather than up from the inner elements). With that change Castor throws this exception: Illegal Text data found as child of: latitude value: "36.2718"{file: [not available]; line: 13; column: 93} So I changed your mapping for the Latitude class from: <class name="Latitude"> <field name="units" type="string" > <bind-xml name="units" node="attribute" /> </field> <field name="latitude" type="string" > <bind-xml name="latitude" node="element" /> </field> </class> to: <class name="Latitude"> <field name="units" type="string" > <bind-xml name="units" node="attribute" /> </field> <field name="latitude" type="string" > <bind-xml name="latitude" node="text" /> </field> </class> And then everything appeared to unmarshal correctly.
