[xfire-user] Ignoring incoming element properties

[Andres Bernasconi]

Hi all,

I have a very simple object (Transaction) that is returned from a Web
Service. Currently the Web Service returns a Transaction that has a field I
dont care about. In my client code, that field does not exist, and I want to
ignore it (if not the the object thas not deserealize correctly in my
client). I'm using aegis binding.

Even though I am able to ingore a property for Serialization, can't seem to
make it for deserealization.

Given the following received XML data

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
  <soap:Body>
     <getTransactionsResponse xmlns="http://xxx.com";>
        <out xmlns="http://xxx.com";>
           <Transaction>
              <finishDate>2006-12-06T18:52:08.537-03:00</finishDate>
              <linkedTransactionId xsi:nil="true" />
              <processName>queryAttributes</processName>
              <startDate>2006-12-06T18:51:58.255-03:00</startDate>
              <status>Finished</status>

<transactionId>1664235421D7AA6410F59B54465Z7FFE</transactionId>
              <username>TST-DFLT_USER</username>
           </Transaction>
        </out>
     </getTransactionsResponse>
  </soap:Body></soap:Envelope>


I tried the following to ignore the linkedTransactionId property, but did
not work:

<mappings>
   <mapping>
      <!-- remaining fields up here, but ignored in this example -->
       <property name="linkedTransactionId"
mappedName="ns1:linkedTransactionId"
           ignore="true"
           xmlns:ns1="http://xxx.com"; />


   </mapping>
</mappings>

I also tried only with name, and only the mappedName and neither work. If
you know what I'm doing wrong or what shoul i do, I'll greatly apreciate it.
