Hi Raymond,

There's no way to directly specify that a collection has to have at least one item present (or any other number of items, for that matter). The best you can do is add a post-set method to the containing object which can verify that the items you expected were indeed found.

Your ClassCastException appears to be an unrelated issue. That <collection> binding is probably the cause - what the <collection> binding says is that the contents of the ArrayList will all be String objects, but because you don't have any child content for the <collection> it expects to find a <mapping> definition for these objects. You probably want to use a <value> element inside the collection to give an element name as a wrapper around the String values.

Sorry, Orjan, I guess I overlooked your original email on the required content topic.

I am interested in this as well, as I ma having some trouble binding an
ArrayList of Strings using the <collection> element such that the element is
defined as element+ in the dtd.

<collection name="Street" item-type="java.lang.String" field="street"
type="java.util.ArrayList" />

I keep receiving a java.lang.ClassCastException when attempting to marshall
the ArrayList to this collection.

A trace on the ArrayList prior to handing it off to jibx shows that I have
only objects of type java.lang.String in the list.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Subject: [jibx-users] collection with required content?

Hi,

Is there a way to specify a binding for a collection which requires at least one element? In DTD terms this would be noted by a '+' sign after the element instead of a '*' sign.


Thanks,
Ørjan
