[Simple-support] CycleStrategy and capturing id attributes

[Dawid W. <daw...@gm...>]

Hi Niall, everyone,

This caught me by surprise. I use CycleStrategy to deserialize a graph
of objects (some of which are backrefs to single declarations). So,
something like this:

<client id="foo">
</client>

<client id="bar">
</client>

I would like to capture Client's ID attribute if it was provided explicitly:

    public static class Client {
        @Attribute(required = false)
        public String id;
    }

This doesn't seem to work though (always null). I could use two
separate identifiers but this will be confusing to whoever is editing
those files... Thoughts?
