you need a <group mapToObject="PressArticle" attribute in order for the mapping to work. There is also a mapToProperty attribute of <field>, but that is optional. If all your classes that will be used within intake come from the same package the top level tag has a basePackage attribute that you can use: <input-data basePackage="com.mycompany.media.">. Otherwise you will need to specify the full classname within mapToObject.
