Looking at how class mappings work, it doesn't seem like MapItem will
allow me to do what I want.
Inline with what ralf suggested on the irc channel, I'm going to
marshall each address object in the Map to an AddressEntry complex type
that has a type and address subelement, like so...
<addressEntry>
<type>...</type>
<address>...</address>
</addressEntry>
Tada!

I had been doing something similiar but I had included a type of
PostalAddress in the postalAddresses field. This caused the key and value
fields to not be output according to their bind-xml name values like type
and address. When I used the mapping without the type of PostalAddress in
the postalAddresses field you specified below, I get *ALMOST* what I want.
<address type="Secondary">
<address>
<street>12424 lane lane</street>
<state>MI</state>
<postalCode>12421</postalCode>
<city>Bobville</city>
<country>US</country>
</address>
</address>
So now I have an address tag nested inside an address tag.
Is there any way to specify a null tag value for the second address in
its bind-xml tag?
Thanks for the help,

As Stephen points out in another post, I seem to have learned today how to
do this. I am sure someone on the list will correct me if I get it wrong.
I have left out the namespace specifications but you can easily put them
back in.
<class name="edu.umich.med.cacr.hb.Person">
<field name="postalAddresses" collection="map">
<bind-xml name="address" node="element" />
<class name="org.exolab.castor.mapping.MapItem">
<field name="key" type="string">
<bind-xml name="type" node="attribute" />
</field>
<field name="value" type="edu.umich.med.cacr.hb.PostalAddress">
<bind-xml name="address" />
</field>
</class>
</field>
</class>
I *think* that should do it!

Hi all,
My first post...
I has a Person class that has a map of postalAddresses. Each postal
address has a key of 'type'. I'd like to marshall the addresses into a
form where hte key was an attribute and the value was output as <address>:
<person>
<address type="primary">
<street>12424 lane lane</street>
<state>MI</state>
<postalCode>12421</postalCode>
<city>Bobville</city>
<country>US</country>
</address>
<address type="secondary">
....
</address>
</person>
Right now, I can only get the mapping output that the default
MappingItem class sets which is
<address>
<key>Primary</key>
<value>
<street>12424 lane lane</street>
<state>MI</state>
<postalCode>12421</postalCode>
<city>Bobville</city>
<country>US</country>
</value>
</address>
Any help is greatly appreciated.
This is what I currently have for my mapping below:
<class cst:name="edu.umich.med.cacr.hb.Person">
<field cst:name="postalAddresses"
cst:type="edu.umich.med.cacr.hb.PostalAddress" collection="map">
<bind-xml name="address" node="element" />
</field>
</class>
<class cst:name="edu.umich.med.cacr.hb.PostalAddress">
<field cst:name="streetAddressExt" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="streetExt" node="element" />
</field>
<field cst:name="streetAddress" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="street" node="element" />
</field>
<field cst:name="state" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="state" node="element" />
</field>
<field cst:name="postalCode" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="postalCode" node="element" />
</field>
<field cst:name="city" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="city" node="element" />
</field>
<field cst:name="country" cst:type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="country" node="element" />
</field>
</class>
Thanks,
Adam Kramer
