Hello,
I have been using JiBX for a couple months on basic XML files and I am really
pleased especially by the performance.
I am now trying to bind an RSS format.
My issue is that, in RSS, the list of items is not embedded in an <items> tag.
Example:
<rss>
<channel>
<item />
<item />
<item />
</channel>
</rss>
My binding is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<binding name="binding" package="my.jibx.rss">
<mapping name="rss" class="my.jibx.rss.Feed">
<structure name="channel" field="channel" map-as="channel" />
</mapping>
<mapping abstract="true" type-name="channel" class="my.jibx.rss.Channel"
ordered="false" flexible="true">
<value style="element" name="link" field="link" usage="optional" />
<value style="element" name="title" field="title" usage="optional" />
<value style="element" name="description" field="description"
usage="optional" />
<collection field="items" create-type="java.util.ArrayList" ordered="false"
/>
</mapping>
<mapping name="item" class="my.jibx.rss.Item" ordered="false" flexible="true">
<value style="element" name="title" field="title" usage="optional" />
<value style="element" name="description" field="description"
usage="optional" />
<structure name="image" field="image" type="my.jibx.rss.Image"
usage="optional" ordered="false">
<value style="element" name="url" field="url" />
</structure>
<structure name="enclosure" field="enclosure" type="my.jibx.rss.Enclosure"
usage="optional" ordered="false">
<value style="attribute" name="url" field="url" />
<value style="attribute" name="type" field="type" usage="optional" />
<value style="attribute" name="length" field="length" usage="optional" />
</structure>
</mapping>
</binding>
Since I do not want to handle some elements that are unnecessary to me and that
others apps may add with their own namespace, I try to use flexible="true" on
the Channel mapping.
However, I cannot use flexible="true" on the Channel mapping because the
collection of items has no name. Error:
Error: All child components must define element names for flexible='true'; on
collection element at (line 10, col 83, in rss-binding.xml)
And I cannot use a name since there is no eclosing tag in RSS.
How can this type of collection be handled using JiBX?
Thank you for your help.
Bob
