Case Insensitivity for XMLBinding [message #1715469]

Is it possible to make the XMLBinding case-insensitive meaning I could have

<ComponentSpec></ComponentSpec>

<componentspec></componentspec>

and the form be able to handle both cases?

There is currently no declarative way to do this (please open an enhancement request), but you can do this with a custom binding.

1. Extend StandardXmlValueBindingImpl and override read(), write() and getXmlNode() methods
2. Add @CustomXmlValueBinding( impl = YourCustomBinding.class ) to properties that need this behavior

List and element property bindings can be similarly customized.

Thank you. Is there something similar for attributes as well?

Yes, the same binding mechanism is used for attributes and elements.

For the top level interface element, is the use of @CustomXmlValueBinding the same and if so, where does it get placed.

For instance I have an interface named application

public interface Application extends Element {

Currently I have @XmlBinding placed above the class declaration to make it lowercase in the xml, however I need to accept both upper and lower case.

@XmlBinding( path = "application" )

public interface Application extends Element {

When I try to replace @XmlBinding with @CustomXmlValueBinding I get an error. Is there a different tag used at this level and if so what class would I need to overwrite?

Sorry, I see that this follow-up question does not have a reply. In case you haven't figured it out already, for the root element, you need to use @CustomXmlRootBinding and implement a RootElementController.
