Re: [betwixt] how to write a collection of heterogenous objects

[robert burrell donkin]

i think that this is a limitation of betwixt at the moment. quite frankly 
it's unlikely that i'll be able to find the time to code this any time 
soon but i'd be glad to work with you if you want to try to contribution 
some solutions.

Hi all,

Currently I have a class which holds a hierarchy of composite beans.
There are two kinds of  beans LeafBean and BranchBean. Both of them 
inherit from NodeBean.
The BranchBean holds some data and a collection of NodeBeans. The 
LeafBean contains only primitive data.

When I write the structure using BeanWriter, Betwixt writes all the beans 
as "node", since this is the name of the property of the BranchBean. The 
problem is that when I try to read the resulting XML, the BeanReader 
cannot determine unambiguosly which node corresponds to what object.

What I imagine is to have Betwixt write different tags for the different 
kinds of objects in the collection, but it seems impossible so far.

Any ideas?

Dimiter
