Yes it worked like a charm and I even realized that I could do things
like
location="bar/lowerLevel"
to map things like:
<foo>
<bar>
<lowerLevel/>
</bar>
</foo>
down to the foo level!
For many of the simple things that I need to do, ending up with an obj
hierarchy that requires:
foo.getThis().getThat().getTheOther().getUnknown().getEnoughAlready()...
.
gets a "bit" tedious so this mapping helps normalize things for some of
the simple cases.
thanks
