I am trying to unmarshall an XML to Object using Castor OXM Unmarshalling in Spring.
XML:
<LevelA>
<LevelB>
<item name="itemA">value</item>
<item name="itemB">value</item>
<item name="itemC">value</item>
<item name="itemD">value</item>
<item name="itemE">value</item>
</LevelB>
</LevelA>
Object:
Class LevelA {
LevelB objLevelB;
//getter and setter
}
Class LevelB {
List<Items> item = new ArrayList<Items>();
//getter and setter
}
Class Items {
String Name;
String Value;
//getter and setter
}
Castor Mapping:
<mapping>
<class name="LevelA">
<map-to xml="LevelA" />
<field name="objLevelB" type="LevelB">
<bind-xml name="LevelB" />
<class name="LevelB">
<field name="item" type="Items" collection="arraylist">
<bind-xml name="item" node="element" />
<class name="Items">
<field name="Name" type="string">
<bind-xml name="name" node="attribute" />
</field>
<field name="Value" type="string">
<bind-xml node="text" />
</field>
</class>
</field>
</class>
</field>
</class>
</mapping>
I am getting the following error:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'item' in ClassDescriptor of LevelB
I have tried several ways and spent enough time that I need some help from you all now.
Any help would be useful.
Figured out the way myself, here is the mapping that worked for me. I am sharing the answer to help others, in the same situation.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<class name="LevelAClass">

</field>
</class>
<class name="LevelBClass">

</field>
</class>
<class name="LevelCClass">

</field>
<field name="Value">
