You can use @Element(required=false) on the values, or you can use a Converter, which can be used to add custom logic for deserialization..

Subject: [Simple-support] jaxb's xmlseealso equivalent

Hi,

I am consuming a web service which uses jaxb for serializing the response java objects into xml. So, I get a response like this :



<things xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    xsi:type="thing">

    <val>185</val>

</things>

<things xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    xsi:type="anotherThing">

    <anotherVal>162</anotherVal>

</things>

The server code uses jaxb's @xmlseealso for dynamic mapping of generic list objects. My question is how am I to unmarshall this response using Simple annotations. Is there an xmlseealso equivalent in Simple. If not, what is the solution ? Should I be using an attribute 'type' for every generic collection ?



Regards,

Shyam
