[castor-dev] Issue with marshalling using wrapper and array - Castor 1.1.2

[Sarathi Balasundaram]

Hi

This is my first stab at using Castor...It has been good learning
curve so
far. I am presently stuck with something and would need your help
in
resolving it.



The output xml that I am looking for should be as below

<my-response>
<employee-wrapper>
<manager/>
</employee-wrapper>

<employee-wrapper>
<manager/>
</employee-wrapper>

</my-response>



My mapping looks as below

<class name="MyResponse" auto-complete=
"true">
<map-to xml="my-response"/>
<field name="employees" type="Employee"
collection="array">
<bind-xml auto-naming="deriveByClass" location=
"employee-wrapper" node="element"/>
</field>
</class>


Employee is an abstract class. Manager and Worker are concrete
classes that extend Employee class.

The WSDL definition for employee-wrapper is

<xs:element name="employeeWrapper">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="manager" type="Manager"/>
<xs:element name="worker" type="Worker"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

So, the employeeWrapper can have either manager or worker or both


But the problem that I am facing are of 2 kinds


1. When 2 managers are a part of the employeeWrapper , it fails
with
org.exolab.castor.xml.MarshalException: element "manager" occurs
more than
once.
2. If there is manager and worker, the output is as below which
is different from what I expect.

<my-response>
<employee-wrapper>
<manager/>
<worker/>
</employee-wrapper>
</my-response>


Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Kind Regards
