[castor-dev] Castor Unmarshalling problem

[Vamsi Mohun/AT-Austin/3M/US]

All,

I posted this originally on 09/10/2003 (
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg15104.html)
but never got any responses. Hoping for a response this time.

Thanks in Advance
Vamsi



I have this xsd.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsd:schema
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
            targetNamespace = "http://www.webMethods.com/noNamespace/";
            xmlns = "http://www.webMethods.com/noNamespace/";
            xmlns:ST1 = "http://www.webMethods.com/noNamespace/";>
    </xsd:complexType name="A">
        <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="first" type="xsd:token" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1"/>
            <xsd:element name="second" type="xsd:token" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1"/>
            <xsd:element name="B" type="B" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        <xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
    </xsd:complexType name="B">
        <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="second" type="xsd:token" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1"/>
            <xsd:element name="third" type="xsd:token" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1"/>
        <xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

mapping.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapping PUBLIC "-//EXOLAB/Castor Object Mapping DTD Version 1.0
//EN"
                         "mapping.dtd">

<mapping>
  <class name="A">
    <map-to xml="A"/>
    <field name="first" type="string">
      <bind-xml name="first" node="element"/>
    </field>
    <field name="second" type="string">
      <bind-xml name="second" node="element"/>
    </field>
  </class>

  <class name="B">
    <map-to xml="B"/>
    <field name="third" type="string">
      <bind-xml name="third" node="element"/>
    </field>
  </class>

NOTICE that even though "second" is defined in the xsd, it is NOT defined
in
mapping.xml.

Now when I try to unmarshal this XML,

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<A>
  <first>something</first>
  <second>something</second>
    <B>
      <second>something</second>
      <third>something</third>
    </B>
</A>

I get the following exception.
Failed to parse xml:org.xml.sax.SAXException: ....
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Type conversion error: could not set
value of "second"
in "B".

The "second" field is defined in the XSD and in the XML. But it is NOT
defined
in mapping.xml. This is because I am not interested in this field. Should
and can
castor handle this?
