Hi, I am new to simpleXML and stuck with @ElementMap. I would like to parse the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><plist version="1.5">       <dict>              <key>key01</key><string>value01</string>              <key>key02</key><string>value02</string>              <key>key03</key><string>value03</string>       </dict></plist> My class looks like this: import java.util.Map; import org.simpleframework.xml.Attribute;import org.simpleframework.xml.ElementMap;import org.simpleframework.xml.Root; @Root(name = "plist")public class PropertyList{           @ElementMap(name = "dict",                      key="key", keyType=String.class,                      value="string", valueType=String.class,                      required=false, inline=false)    private Map<String, String> plDictionary;            @Attribute(required = true)    private String version;        public String getVersion(){              return this.version;    }        public Map<String, String> getMap(){              return this.plDictionary;    }        public void setMap(Map<String, String> theMap){              this.plDictionary = theMap;    }} As a result I get a Map which contains another Map with null values.I would expect only ONE Map to be created. If I change the XML to this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.5">       <dict>              <dict>              <key>key01</key><string>value01</string>              <key>key02</key><string>value02</string>              <key>key03</key><string>value03</string></dict>       </dict></plist> Then the Map inside the Map has the values. What is wrong in my config? I just want to have ONE Map that holds these values.How can this be achieved? ThanksJochen
