[digester] Multiple paths mapped to one object

[Jan Fröhlich]

Hi all,

given an XML with something like
<REPORT>
    <XTABLE name="Table1" x="1200" y="2250">
        <rows>10</rows>
    </XTABLE>
    <VTABLE name="Table2" x="1400" y="2250">
        <rows>14</rows>
    </VTABLE>
    <HTABLE name="Table3" x="1600" y="2250">
        <rows>17</rows>
    </HTABLE>
</REPORT>

I would like to map all nodes (XTABLE, VTABLE and HTABLE) to one class Table 
and set the properties.
While learning digester I created a class for each tag, but now I want to 
improve that.

For the class itself the following should work
@ObjectCreate.List(value = {
        @ObjectCreate(pattern = "*/HTABLE"),
        @ObjectCreate(pattern = "*/VTABLE"),
        @ObjectCreate(pattern = "*/XTABLE")
})
public class Table {
    private String name;
    private Long posX;
    private Long posY;
    private Long rows;

}

But how should I annotate the properties as I have to set the pattern attribute 
to all @SetProperty annotations and the pattern is different for all of them.

Any help appreciated.

Jan
