Re: [Simple-support] @ElementMap

Hi Jochen,

I am afraid I do not understand the question, can you put this in a test case with some asserts, then perhaps I can figure out what you are trying to do.

Thanks,
Niall

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?

Thanks
Jochen
