MOXy 2.2.0 and CDATA [message #659736]

Hey,

I've run into a very specific issue with some XML containing CDATA.

Here's an XML snippet:

...
<metadata>
<param name="metadata.text"><![CDATA["xxx" - xxxxxxx.]]></param>
...
</metadata>
...

Snippet from my annotated PoJo class:

...

@XmlElement(name="metadata.text")
private String metadataText;

...

public String getMetadatatext()
{
return metadataText;
}
@XmlCDATA
public void setMetadatatext(String metadataText)
{
this.metadataText = metadataText;
}

...

When unmarshalling this (using a Binder) I get:

javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException
- with linked exception:

I suspect it would work if my String member's name could be initialized like:

private String metadata.text;

, but Java wont accept that Smile

- So what to do?

Noone knows how to handle this? Would really appreciate hints or crazy ideas.

TIA!

Hi Kasper,

I noticed a couple of items with your metadata. First off you want to put all your annotations on either the field or the property:

@XmlElement(name="metadata.text")
@XmlCDATA
private String metadataText;

@XmlElement(name="metadata.text")
@XmlCDATA
public String getMetadatatext() {
    return metadataText;
}

Second the element name you are actually mapping to is "param" and not "metadata.text":

@XmlElement(name="param")
@XmlCDATA
public String getMetadatatext() {
    return metadataText;
}

If you want the mapping to be conditional on the "metadata.text" attribute you will be interested in an extension (https://bugs.eclipse.org/339596
) we're working on to our XPath based mapping. It will let you do the following:

@XmlPath(name="param[name='metadata.text']/text()")
@XmlCDATA
public String getMetadatatext() {
    return metadataText;
}

Hi Blaise,

Thanks for replying, and for pointing out that my mapping was mumbo-jumbo. No wonder I couldn't get that to work.

It works now after mapping to a Param object with the XmlCDATA annotation on the value of the element.

Thanks again.
