I am trying to unmarshal a given XML:
<FHcomment>
<TX>rewriting of file</TX>
<tool_id>toolA</tool_id>
<tool_vendor>Company</tool_vendor>
<tool_version>1.7.36.0</tool_version>
</FHcomment>
The schema has already been compiled to JAXB classes, see here:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "", propOrder = {
"tx",
"toolId",
"toolVendor",
"toolVersion",
"userName",
"commonProperties",
"extensions"
})
@XmlRootElement(name = "FHcomment")
public class FHcomment {
@XmlElement(name = "TX", required = true)
protected TX tx;
@XmlElement(name = "tool_id", required = true)
protected BaseName toolId;
@XmlElement(name = "tool_vendor", required = true)
protected BaseName toolVendor;
@XmlElement(name = "tool_version", required = true)
protected BaseVersion toolVersion;
@XmlElement(name = "user_name")
protected BaseName userName;
@XmlElement(name = "common_properties")
protected CommonPropertiesType commonProperties;
protected ExtensionsType extensions;
@XmlAnyAttribute
private Map<QName, String> otherAttributes = new HashMap<QName, String>();
.....
/*
* GETTERS and SETTERS for the fields have been removed here
*/
.....
}
My code to unmarshal the XML is as follows:
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(FHcomment.class);
String s = "<FHcomment>....</Fhcomment>";
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
XMLInputFactory fac = XMLInputFactory.newFactory();
XMLStreamReader xsr = fac.createXMLStreamReader(new StringReader(s));
JAXBElement<FHcomment> foo = unmarshaller.unmarshal(xsr, FHcomment.class);
FHcomment val = foo.getValue();
Problem: The resulting FHcomment object does not contain the children elements of FHcomment. All are null which is not the desired result.
How can I tell JAXB to completely unmarshal the given XML into an object?
EDIT: After adding a ValidationHandler to the Unmsarshaller, I got closer to the problem:
unexpected element (uri:"", local:"TX"). Expected elements are <{htp://www.example.com/mdf/v4}tool_id>,<{htp://www.example.com/mdf/v4}TX>,<{htp://www.www.example.com/mdf/v4}common_properties>,<{htp://www.example.com/mdf/v4}tool_version>,<{htp://www.example.com/mdf/v4}extensions>,<{htp://www.www.example.com/mdf/v4}tool_vendor>,<{htp://www.www.example.com/mdf/v4}user_name>
unexpected element (uri:"", local:"tool_id"). Expected elements are....
It turns out JAXB does not like the fact that the provided XML does not contain namespace information.. So how do I tell the unmarshaller to ignore the namespaces?
EDIT2:
After some more research I could not find a way to trick JAXB into working without namespace verification. I used the tutorial at http://cooljavablogs.blogspot.de/2008/08/how-to-instruct-jaxb-to-ignore.html to circumvent my problem. Not a nice solution but the best at hand...
