Re: [castor-user] Uncertain how to manage namespaces for lists (container=false)

[Stephen Bash]

Gregg-

I know it's a hassle in the real world, but does explicitly defining
the namespace in the mapping fix the problem?  More specifically
change:

  <bind-xml name="items"/>

to

  <bind-xml name="gl:items"/>

where gl is the short version of the appropriately defined namespace.
If you look at the Castor XML HOW-TO on validation you'll see that's
how I had to declare everything to get it in the right namespace (not
saying it should be this way, but it's what worked back when I wrote
it).  My guess is most of the elements correctly inherit the namespace
from the class (via the ns-uri attribute), but the special processing
done by container="false" doesn't.

Hi,

I'm having difficulty getting default namespaces to be generated
properly in an output XML file for lists created using a
container="false" field.

Basically, I'm trying to generate XML like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ServiceResponse xmlns="http://www.globallink.com/v1/service";>
      <items>
         <item><id>1</id></item>
         <item><id>1</id></item>
        </items>
</ServiceResponse>


I've tried creating a mapping file where either I specify the mapping
only at the top level, or for each class.
My problem is that I can't get the "items" list above (created by a
container="false" field) to go into a proper namespace.

The closest I can currently get is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ServiceResponse xmlns="http://www.globallink.com/v1/service";>
      <items xmlns="">
         <item><id>1</id></item>
         <item><id>1</id></item>
        </items>
</ServiceResponse>

Here is my mapping file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mapping>
  <class name="com. globallink.data.ServiceResponse">
    <map-to xml="ServiceResponse"
        ns-uri="http://www.globallink.com/v1/service";
        element-definition="false"
    />
    <field name="items" type="com.globallink.data.Item"
container="false" collection="array">
        <bind-xml name="items"/>
    </field>
  </class>
  <class name="com.globallink.data.Item">
     <map-to xml="item"
      />
     <field name="id" type="string">
        <bind-xml name="id"/>
    </field>
  </class>
</mapping>

And my java code:

                StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
                ServiceResponse response = new ServiceResponse ();

                Item[] items = new Item[2];

                Item item;
                item = new Item();
                item.setId("1");
                items [0] = item;
                item = new Item ();
                item.setId("2");
                items [1] = item;

                response.setItems(items);
                try {
                        Mapping mapping = new Mapping();
                        mapping.loadMapping("castor.xml");
                        Marshaller marshaller = new Marshaller(writer);
                        marshaller.setMapping(mapping);
                        marshaller.marshal(response);

System.out.println(writer.getBuffer().toString());
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }

        }

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Gregg
