Hello everyone Smile I just wonder if XMLBinding use XPath for addressing different tags.

For example:
<tagA>
    <tagB key1="value1" />
</tagA>


If I want "key1" to be a Property in the class "ITagA.java", can I just write:

@XmlBinding ( path = "tagB/@key1" )

??

more generally, is it possible to make "key1" a Property for "ITagA.java" instead of creating a class for "tagB"?

And if I have to create a class for "tagB", how can I put "key1" as a Property Editor in the Composite of "tagA"?

Thnx in advance Smile

It isn't an actual XPath, but the XML binding annotations do support paths. In your example, @XmlBinding( path = "tagB/@key1" ) is supported, so it is certainly possible to flatten your model structure.

If you choose not to flatten, you would use an ImpliedElementProperty to bind to container XML elements that don't in themselves have semantic value. In sdef, you would use the "with" construct to traverse into an ImplementElementProperty as part of a form definition.

If anything above is unclear, don't hesitate to ask for clarification.

Thank you for quick response Smile

For the "with" construct, can I use the same way to walk through the model? I mean like: <path>parent/child</path> ?

Yes, the with construct supports model paths.
