Hi,
have you had a look at the howtos at:
http://castor.codehaus.org/xml-howto.html
How about something like:
<field name="OtherName" type="java.lang.String"
collection="arraylist">
<bind-xml node="attribute" name="Name"
location="OtherNames/OtherName"/>
</field>
Take care on the 's' that I omited at field name. I am quite sure that
castor is able to produce what you want, it's just a question to find
the right mapping for this.

Unfortunately, the XML format is not under my control and I don't have a
schema at this point, but hopefully the company will supply one in the
future. So my hands are kinda bound here on the format of the XML. Castor
still seems like the way to go, but it doesn't seem to like this case very
much. I am not familiar with how custom field handlers work, but I might
have to try and go that route if I can't get the Mapping to work.
I am kinda surprised that nothing like this has come up before, but I
couldn't find anything when searching through the archives. Any ideas?

Do you have the ability to start from an XML Schema, instead of an
object definition? If you defined OtherNames as a complextype
containing a sequence of OtherName objects, that would match your XML,
and your generated code for OtherNames would contain a collection type
for the OtherName objects. You wouldn't even need (necessarily) a
binding file.

Subject: [castor-user] Help needed with Mapping and XML-Binding
I am new to Castor and its mapping capabilities. I am
having a problem
getting my XML wrappers to look the way I want it to when
using the xml-bind
location attribute on a attribute node. Basically, what I
have in my
object is a List of strings (Names).
That I want represented in the XML as:
<OtherNames>
<OtherName Name="Bob" />
<OtherName Name="Steve" />
<OtherName Name="Chris" />
<OtherNames>
What I am gettings is:
<OtherNames>
<OtherName Name= " Bob Steve Chris "/> </OtherNames>
My mapping looks something like:
<field name="OtherNames" type="java.lang.String"
collection="arraylist" >
<bind-xml node="attribute" name="Name"
location="OtherNames/OtherName"/>
</ field >
Is there a way to do this in the mapping file?
Thanks in advance.
