How do I change the Castor mapping
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapping PUBLIC "-//EXOLAB/Castor Mapping DTD Version 1.0//EN"
"http://castor.org/mapping.dtd">
<mapping>
<class name="java.util.ArrayList" auto-complete="true">
<map-to xml="ArrayList" />
</class>
<class name="com.db.spgit.abstrack.ws.response.UserResponse">
<map-to xml="UserResponse" />
<field name="id" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="id" node="element" />
</field>
<field name="deleted" type="boolean">
<bind-xml name="deleted" node="element" />
</field>
<field name="name" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="name" node="element" />
</field>
<field name="typeId" type="java.lang.Integer">
<bind-xml name="typeId" node="element" />
</field>
<field name="regionId" type="java.lang.Integer">
<bind-xml name="regionId" node="element" />
</field>
<field name="regionName" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="regionName" node="element" />
</field>
</class>
</mapping>
to suppress the xmlns:xsi
and xsi:type
attributes in the element of the XML output? For example, instead of the output XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ArrayList>
<UserResponse xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="UserResponse">
<name>Tester</name>
<typeId>1</typeId>
<regionId>2</regionId>
<regionName>US</regionName>
</UserResponse>
</ArrayList>
I'd prefer
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ArrayList>
<UserResponse>
<name>Tester</name>
<typeId>1</typeId>
<regionId>2</regionId>
<regionName>US</regionName>
</UserResponse>
</ArrayList>
such that the element name implies the xsi:type
.
Set the Castor Marshaller property suppressXSIType
to false:
Marshaller marshaller = new Marshaller(w);
marshaller.setSuppressXSIType(true);
See Configuring the Marshaller in the Castor 1.3.1 Reference Documentation. (Note that Table 1.10 Marshaller properties lists only property suppressNamespaces
, but methods setSuppressNamespaces()
and setSuppressXSIType()
both exist in class Marshaller
.)
