XML Attributes instead of XML Elements? [message #901329]

Pretty much all of the Sapphire examples shows how to create xml files with auxiliary information of an element as child elements. For example, Bug Database creates bugs.xml like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bug-database>
    <bug>
        :
        <hardware-item>
            <make>Apex</make>
            <model>60</model>
            <type>Other</type>
            <description>Broke during STPS operation</description>
        </hardware-item>
    </bug>
</bug-database>

Instead of make, model, type and description created as child elements of hardware-item, is it possible to create them as XML attributes like this one?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bug-database>
    <bug>
        :
        <hardware-item make="Apex" model="60" type="Other" description="Broke during STPS operation"/>
    </bug>
</bug-database>

Does Sapphire have provisions for this? Thanks much!

Sure things all you have to do is change the path property on the XmlBinding annotation in the for your model properties. So if you use something like this

@XmlBinding(path = "@make")

That will add that property as an attribute on the parent element.
