[Betwixt] Removing id attributes and conditional

[Ricardo Gladwell]

Hi All,

I'm writing some Java beans to XML and getting some odd results.
Firstly, Betwixt is adding an "id" attribute to all my objects (see
sample payment.xml below). How do I configure Betwixt stop this behaviour?

I also would like to switch tags based on the type of an object
returned. For example, I have a Customer object that returns a BankAccount:

//BankAccount.java
public abstract class BankAccount {}

//Customer.java
public class Customer {
   BankAccount bankAccount;
   public BankAccount getBankAccount() { return bankAccount; }
}

//AustrianBankAccount.java
public class AustrianBankAccount extends BankAccount {
}

I have the following betwixt file which specifies that the root tag for
an AustrianBankAccount is "bankAccount-AT":

//AustrianBankAccount.betwixt
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<info primitiveTypes="element">
   <element name="bankAccount-AT">
     <addDefaults />
   </element>
</info>

But, in my results it still returns a "bankAccount" tag. How do I
enforce this behaviour?

// payment.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE paymentService PUBLIC "-//Bibit//DTD Bibit PaymentService v1//EN"
        "http://dtd.bibit.com/paymentService_v1.dtd">

<paymentService id="1" merchantCode="OPODOPAYOUTEUR" version="1.3">
<submit>
<shopper id="2">
<bankAccount id="3">
<accountHolderName>com.opodo.backoffice.db.dao.mock.MockCustomerDAO</accountHolderName>
<branchCode>25267</branchCode>
<bankAccountNumber>85584111755</bankAccountNumber>
</bankAccount>
<authenticatedShopperID>0656125732</authenticatedShopperID>
</shopper>
</submit>
</paymentService>

Kind regards...

There is a configuration property for this which you'll set like this:

beanWriter.getBindingConfiguration().setMapIDs(false);

Handling of polymorphic references and collections has been added in
the current SVN Head (0.61-dev). Have a lokk e.g. at the this unit
test:

ttp://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta/commons/proper/betwixt/trunk/src/test/org/apache/commons/betwixt/TestReferenceMapping.java?view=markup

Tom
