Re: [Simple-support] ignored name attribute of Root annotation

Hi,
Yes this is true, this is an intentional feature. You need to be able to override the name of an entry within a list. This allows each element to override the name of the entry.

Hello everybody,

first of all, I want to say that Simple is the best XML library I've
ever used. I absolutely love it. Having said that, I stumbled upon
some weird behavior lately: the name attribute of the Root annotation
seems to be ignored when deserializing XML to an object. Here is a
small test case which illustrates the problem:

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.simpleframework.xml.Attribute;
import org.simpleframework.xml.Root;
import org.simpleframework.xml.Serializer;
import org.simpleframework.xml.core.PersistenceException;
import org.simpleframework.xml.core.Persister;

public class BadRootNameTest {
        private static final Serializer persister = new Persister();

        @Root(name="root")
        public static class RootEl {
                @Attribute
                public String attr;
        }

        @Test
        public void testGoodRoot() throws Exception {
                // passes OK
                RootEl rootEl = persister.read(RootEl.class, "<root
attr=\"xxx\"/>");
                assertNotNull(rootEl);
                assertEquals("xxx", rootEl.attr);
        }

        @Test(expected=PersistenceException.class)
        public void testBadAttr() throws Exception {
                // throws an exception, as is expected
                persister.read(RootEl.class, "<root xxx=\"yyyy\"/>");
        }

        @Test
        public void testBadRootName() throws Exception {
                // does NOT throw an exception!
                RootEl rootEl = persister.read(RootEl.class,
"<xxxxxxxxxx attr=\"yyy\"/>");
                assertNotNull(rootEl);
                assertEquals("yyy", rootEl.attr);
        }
}

I believe the same thing happens with the ElementList annotation when
inline is set to false. Is this a bug, or do you need to do something
special for the name attribute to take effect? Thanks in advance for
any help.

Best wishes,

Adam Ruka
