want to have same XML tag multiple times.

[Jyoti Balabantaray]

Hi,

I want to have same tag multiple times in my generated XML.

It's similar like multiple <property> tag inside one <bean> tag.

ex - 

<bean class="com.ff.SubSection" id="id1">

  <property ref="posPayItemIndex" name="index"/>

  <property ref="crlfAssembler" name="assembler"/>

 <property name="fields">

    <list>

      <bean class="com.ep.ff.transfer.format.NumberField" id="checkNumberField">

        <property value="10" name="length"/>

        <property value="amount" name="target"/>

      </bean>

      <bean class="com.ep.ff.transfer.format.NumberField" id="checkAmountField">

        <property value="10" name="length"/>

        <property value="amount" name="target"/>

      </bean>

    </list>

  </property>

</bean>

 I kind of achieved this by the below way.

[XmlAttribute (alias="id")]

public var id : String;

[XmlAttribute (alias="class")]

public var clsName : String;

[XmlElement(alias="property")]

public var property1 :PropertyXMLTag;

[XmlElement(alias="property")]

public var property2 :PropertyXMLTag;

[XmlElement(alias="property")]

public var property3 :PropertyXMLTag;

[XmlElement(alias="property")]

public var property4 :PropertyXMLTag;

[XmlElement(alias="property")]

public var property5 :PropertyXMLTag;

[XmlElement(alias="property")]

Here I have the limitation of max number of <property> tag since I have to define those as instance variable. Is there a way to make it dynamic depends upon the object creation.

Using list is not helping since it's creating one extra <list> tag before <property> tag. Kindly help.

Thanks,

Jyoti

I believe it will work if you use XmlArray with alias="*". Having separate variables for each property will cause teh exact limitation problem you're talkin about.

 

So make a property array and annotate it with

 

XmlArray[alias="*", type="YOUR_MEMBER_FULL_CLASS_NAME"]

 

and it should do the trick.

Let me know how it goes,
