I'm having trouble unmarshalling a list of elements into a collection that
itself has an attribute:
<ipmiSensors>
<psSensors redund="True">
<powerSupply status="ok" present="True" name="Power Supply1"/>
<powerSupply status="ok" present="True" name="Power Supply2"/>
</psSensors>
</ipmiSensors>
If I ignore the 'redund' attribute, I can unmarshall this into a
Collection<T> instance easily:
<class name="mypackage.sensors.IPMISensors" auto-complete="false"
verify-constructable="false">
<field name="powerSupplySensors"
type="mypackage.sensors.IPMIPowerSupplySensor"
required="false" direct="false" transient="false"
container="false" collection="collection">
<bind-xml name="psSensors" node="element" />
</field>
</class>
This does exactly what I would expect, and add the <powerSupply> instances
to the Collection.
But that attribute on the <psSensors> element is puzzling me. Obviously I
can't unmarshall this into a Collection<T> anymore - I have to create my own
subclass of, say, ArrayList<T>, right? Except nothing I try seems to work.
Am I on the right track? I really don't want to create a collection within
a collection -- I don't want to make this one class different than all of
the others in the set I'm working with.
Any advice?
