Hi Everyone,
I am using Castor to unmarshal a very simple XML document and I wish to
have Castor indicate when it encounters anything in the XML that it cannot
unmarshal. I am not using a mapping file as the XML to Java conversion is
simple and straight-forward.
I have searched high and low and googled and looked in the javadocs and
done all I can to find out how to do this, but to no success. Castor
continues to silently ignore the error in the XML.
So now I am asking you for help, and hoping someone will kindly answer this
very simple question.
Take the following class:
public class Library {
private List<String> books;
public Library() {
books = new LinkedList<String>();
}
public void addBook(String title) {
books.add(title);
}
public String toString() {
return "Books = " + books;
}
}
with this XML file "library.xml" (the misspelled "boook" is intentional):
<library>
<book>War And Peace</book>
<book>Ulysses</book>
<boook>Crime And Punishment</boook>
</library>
and with this Castor application:
public class CastorTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = new Unmarshaller(Library.class);
unmarshaller.setIgnoreExtraAttributes(false);
unmarshaller.setIgnoreExtraElements(false);
unmarshaller.setValidation(true);
Reader reader = new FileReader(new File("library.xml"));
Library library = (Library)unmarshaller.unmarshal(reader);
System.out.println(library);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The 3rd book in the library file is misspelled "boook". I want Castor to
tell me somehow that this is something it does not understand.
No matter what I do, the program runs without throwing an Exception or
printing an error message. The output of the above is:
Books = [War And Peace, Ulysses]
Please answer this specific question:
Exactly what should I add/remove/change in the
CastorTest class above to accomplish this ?
Thank you very much !
