Hi,

I am having troubles binding a single element into an object with several attributes.

Here's what I have:

My XML (cannot be modified):

<type>

<subtype1>aaaaaa</subtype1>

<subtype2>bbbbbb</subtype2>

</type>

My Java classes

@XmlRootElement(name = "type")

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PROPERTY)

public class Type {

protected String name;

protected List<SubType> list;

// getters

@XmlElement(name = "name")

public String getName() {

return name;

}

@XmlElements({

@XmlElement(name = "subtype1", type = SubType.class),

@XmlElement(name = "subtype1", type = SubType.class)

})

public List<SubType> getList() {

return list;

}

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PROPERTY)

public class SubType {

protected String defaultValue = "DEFAULT";

protected String subtype= null;

// getters

.....

}

I parse XML with Type class and get a correct value for name attribute.

However I cannot bind subtype1 and subtype2 nodes into SubType classes (subtype attribute is always empty).

Can someone please tell me if it's possible to bind an element to a class/object?

To modify classes to make it work ?

Thank you.
