Hello, I have a question about marshalling raw xml segments.
With reference to the example at: http://www.castor.org/how-to-unmarshal-raw-xml.html What I want is the xml fragment "<misc>Misc xml to be dealt with later</misc>" The example gives a result that includes the parent element "xmlnode2" So with the requirement that the fragment could be any element. How do I get only the fragment I want. Furthermore the xml I have to unmarshall is more like the following: <root xmlns="nsouter"> <xmlnode attribute="misc xml data"> <data>Data 1</data> <data>Data 2</data> </xmlnode> <string>Regular String Data</string> <xmlnode2> <misc xmlns="nsinner">Misc xml to be dealt with later</misc> </xmlnode2> </root> I need to unmarshall the fragment: "<misc xmlns="nsinner">Misc xml to be dealt with later</misc>" with the right namespace I have tried to adjust the FieldHandler: public Object convertUponSet(final Object value) { AnyNode result = null; final AnyNode node = (AnyNode) value; if (node != null) { result = node.getFirstChild(); if (result.getNodeType() != AnyNode.ELEMENT) { result = result.getNextSibling(); } } if (result == null || result.getNodeType() != AnyNode.ELEMENT) { throw new BindingRuntimeException("failed to extract the Message Body xml segment"); } return result.toString(); } But result = node.getFirstChild(); gives me an AnyNode that has the same namespace of the parent (nsouter) ? Greetings, Huub
