Hi,
I am using castor 1.3.
How can I configure a FieldHandler for a single nested element in my xml file.
I already have a bunch of descriptor classes for my xml file. These were
generated from
an xml schema.
However one of the nested elements is a date field which sometimes has a value
that cannot be
handled by Castor. It contains a single digit for day or for month. See below
example.
Therefore I created a mapping file for the element containing the field and
configured it to use
a FieldHandler.
Strongly simplified the xml looks like:
<root>
<inner1>
<field1>
...
</field1>
<datefield>
2010-03-1T09:57:01+01:00
</datefield>
...
</inner1>
<inner2>
<field1>
</field1>
...
</inner2>
<root>
and the mapping looks like:
<mapping>
<class name="nl.foo.Inner1">
<field name="datefield" type="string" handler="MyDateHandler">
<bind-xml name="inner1" node="element" />
</field>
</class>
</mapping>
The thing is: This works in an container environment (application running in
OC4J application server on windows).
However when I run the same code outside the container it does not work;
Handler is not called.
Also it does not work under a different application server (Oracle AS/Linux)
Question:
Am I using the right solution? Or should I make a mapping for the entire xml.
But that would mean making
a complex mapping while I only want a fieldhandler for a single field. I
already have the descriptors.
Greetings,
Huub
