I have different XML returns that I want to parse with JAXB with annotated classes. Many of the XML files share a similar top structure and with the contents of an inner tag that can vary. Since we sent the ContextInstance a class and not an instance I can't add classes.
How would you create a set of JAXB annotations that don't repeat the top level xml each time, given examples of two files like this.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<eveapi version="2">
<currentTime>2008-11-24 20:14:29</currentTime>
<result>
<serverOpen>True</serverOpen>
<onlinePlayers>38102</onlinePlayers>
</result>
<cachedUntil>2008-11-24 20:17:29</cachedUntil>
</eveapi>
And another file like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<eveapi version="2">
<currentTime>2012-02-12 14:39:12</currentTime>
<result>
<rowset name="characters" key="characterID" columns="name,characterID,corporationName,corporationID">
<row name="Alexis Prey" characterID="1365215823" corporationName="Puppies To the Rescue" corporationID="238510404"/>
</rowset>
</result>
<cachedUntil>2012-02-12 15:27:00</cachedUntil>
</eveapi>
A common top level class would be something like
@XmlRootElement(name="eveapi")
public class EveApiConfig {
@XmlElement(required = true)
protected Date currentTime;
@XmlElement(required = true)
protected String cachedUntil;
@XmlAttribute(name = "version", required = true)
protected int version;
@XmlElement(required = true)
protected ResultsConfig result;
}
But ResultsConfig would be number of other things. it's almost like a need a reverse XmlSeeAlso
Any thoughts if how to do this?
