Re: [Simple-support] Duplicate element error parsing rss and atom

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

One thing to note, is that namespaces do not form part of the document structure according to the XML specification so <x:link> <y:link> <z:link> are all just <link> the namespace only qualifies it. Use an @ElementList with inline=true and it will pick up both links, you can then use the one that you want. Alternatively you can parse it yourself with a Converter.

Subject: [Simple-support] Duplicate element error parsing rss and atom
 

this is a well designed api but i'm having what seems to be a common 
problem deserializing xml that contains elements with the same name but 
in different name spaces. the usual example is

<rss >
   <channel>
...
     <link>some value</link>
...
     <atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
    rel="self"
    type="application/rss+xml"
    href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/..."/>

the 'link' in <atom:link> collides with <link>

first question: is there any way to parse this with the current version 
of simpleXml?

as no one that has asked this question has received an answer i'm 
assuming there is no way to do it now. that leads to my second question: 
how hard is this to support? is it something that an above average java 
developer (that's me) could get done relatively quickly?

or is it a big design change to support these name space name collisions?

thanks,
terry
