java - Using JAXB to unmarshal xml with map-like structure to object -


i'm trying unmarshal poorly designed xml object. xml built using generic type element can have number of items name. depending on value of type in something below, include properties different. it's bypassing xsd rulse (yes, has xsd, it's utterly useless).

the xml get:

<something type="actualtype">    <property name="prop1">value1</property>    <property name="prop2">value2</property>    ... </something>

what should have been:

<actualtype>    <prop1>value1</prop1>    <prop2>value2</prop1> </actualtype>

how should represented in java:

@xmltype(name="actualtype") public class actualtype {    @xmlelement    public x prop1     @xmlelement    public y prop2  }

the actual question(s):

is there basic support in jaxb (without external dependencies)? if not, can write custom annotations such able reuse same logic other services using schema?

there couple of ways support use case:

option #1 - jaxb (jsr-222) implementation

if need read xml objects, leverage streamreaderdelegate , following. makes bad xml appear if xml:

import javax.xml.bind.*; import javax.xml.stream.*; import javax.xml.stream.util.streamreaderdelegate; import javax.xml.transform.stream.streamsource;  public class demo {      public static void main(string[] args) throws exception {          xmlinputfactory xif = xmlinputfactory.newfactory();         xmlstreamreader xsr = xif.createxmlstreamreader(new streamsource("src/forum16529016/input.xml"));          xsr = new streamreaderdelegate(xsr) {              @override             public string getlocalname() {                 string localname = super.getlocalname();                 if(!"property".equals(localname) && super.geteventtype() == xmlstreamreader.start_element) {                     return localname;                 }                 if(super.geteventtype() == xmlstreamreader.start_element) {                     return super.getattributevalue(null, "name");                 }                 return localname;             }         };          jaxbcontext jc = jaxbcontext.newinstance(actualtype.class);         unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createunmarshaller();         actualtype actualtype = unmarshaller.unmarshal(xsr, actualtype.class).getvalue();         system.out.println(actualtype.prop1);         system.out.println(actualtype.prop2);     } }

option #2 - eclipselink jaxb (moxy's) @xmlpath extension

note: i'm eclipselink jaxb (moxy) lead , member of jaxb (jsr-222) expert group.

moxy has @xmlpath extension enables map use case.

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.xmltype; import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.xmlpath;  @xmltype(name="actualtype") public class actualtype {    @xmlpath("property[@name='prop1']/text())    public x prop1     @xmlpath("property[@name='prop1']/text())    public y prop2  }

i have detailsview control on page used edit various fields of record, works in respect. i looking way add 1 column (and if works, why not more) right, absolutely read-only, show same fields of record comparison purposes. i aware there no obvious way such thing out of box detailsview . have looked other controls (transposed gridview , recommended formview , listview ), nothing satisfies. have special data binding setup using detailsview , can't out of without losing features. anyone on how "hack in" additional columns (for display only) on detailsview ? the solution have now, use second detailsview , visible set false in aspx. in code, make sure databind hidden detailsview hosts data third column first, initial detailsview named itemdetails . and in item created event, pass third column html rendering of hidden controls (in last code block) : protected void itemdetails_itemcreated(object sender, eventargs e) { if (dataite...
