Hi,
I am trying to use XML Choice Mapping to map a hierarchy of objects. I find that when I turn on the "preserve document" option, this mapping fails. As soon as I turn off the "preserve document" option, this mapping works fine. Is this a bug or are they incompatible for some reason? Or is it because of the XML Any Collection Mapping that is also under the same element that is conflicting?
Here is my XML for configuring the choice mapping. Please let me know if it's wrong, because the workbench does not generate this kind of mapping, so I figured out the format by browsing the source code and hacking the mapping until it worked.
<attribute-mapping xsi:type="xml-choice-object-mapping">
<attribute-name>action</attribute-name>
<field-to-class-association>
<xml-field name="DataArea/A" xsi:type="node" />
<class-name>com.foo.A</class-name>
</field-to-class-association>
<field-to-class-association>
<xml-field name="DataArea/B" xsi:type="node" />
<class-name>com.foo.B</class-name>
</field-to-class-association>
<field-to-class-association>
<xml-field name="DataArea/C" xsi:type="node" />
<class-name>com.foo.C</class-name>
</field-to-class-association>
...
</attribute-mapping>
Here's the any collection:
<attribute-mapping xsi:type="xml-any-collection-mapping">
<attribute-name>stuff</attribute-name>
<field name="DataArea/" xsi:type="node"/>
<container xsi:type="list-container-policy">
<collection-type>java.util.Vector</collection-type>
</container>
<keep-as-element-policy>KEEP_NONE_AS_ELEMENT</keep-as-element-policy>
</attribute-mapping>
</attribute-mappings>
...
<should-preserve-document>true</should-preserve-document>
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Polly
