[Simple-support] Problem with subclass annotation

[Vincent S. <vin...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm struggling with the following problem.

Let's say we have the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<wrapper xmlns="http://www.example.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <obj xsi:type="FieldSubClass1">
        <property1>some text</property1>
        <property2>some text</property2>
    </obj>
    <obj xsi:type="FieldSubClass2">
        <property1>some text</property1>
        <property2>some text</property2>
        <property3>some text</property3>
    </obj>
    <obj xsi:type="FieldSubClass3">
        <property1>some text</property1>
        <property2>some text</property2>
    </obj>
</wrapper>

The Java classes are:

public class Wrapper {
    private List<Field> fieldList = null;
}

public class Field {
    private String property1 = null;
}

public class FieldSubClass1 extends Field {
    private String property2 = null;
}

public class FieldSubClass2 extends Field {
    private String property2 = null;
    private String property3 = null;
}

public class FieldSubClass3 extends Field {
    private String property2 = null;
}

Is it possible to use Simple for this problem? Simple would need to analyse the xsi:type attribute to find out which sub class to instantiate, as the sub classes cannot be distinguished by their properties.

I tried a lot of different combinations of annotations but haven't been able to created the designated result.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Vincent
