[Simple-support] Deserialize any element (xsd:any)

[Christian S. <chr...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am trying to deserialize an XML String to an object.

The problem I am having is that the object can have *any* element (xsd:any).

I tried it that way:

@Root
public class Container
{
    @Element(required = false)
    private Object anyElement;
}

But when deserializing the following XML:
<container><xyz xmlns=„any_arbitrary_namespace“/></container>

I get a org.simpleframework.xml.core.ElementException: Element ‚xyz' does not have a match in class…

I have a class which would map to the xyz element.
I also thought, that I have to register it (similar to creating a JAXBContext), so that the persister is aware of it, like:
registry.lookup(Xyz.class);

but I doesn’t work.

Here’s the same question:

Thanks for help,
