i want to deserialize XML to a Java Pojo, but i dont need all elements and i want to avoid creating boilerplate-wrapper classes just to get some subelements
The XML looks like this
<a>
<b>NotInterestingValue</b>
<c>
<d>InterestingValue</d>
<e>InterestingValue</e>
</c>
</a>
I created A.class {
String b;
C c;
}
class C {
String d;
String e;
}
I created a XML-Mapper like this:
new XmlMapper(new JacksonXmlModule().readValue("xml-file", A.class)
--> This works. But is it possible to deserialize the XML only with C?
e.g.
new XmlMapper(new JacksonXmlModule().readValue("xml-file", C.class)
--> Doesnt work right now
I managed to find an answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41383076/15925714
-->
class C {
String d;
String e;
@JsonProperty("c")
private void unpackNameFromNestedObject(Map<String, String> c) {
d= c.get("d");
d= c.get("e");
}
}
