Question

the xml contains:
<rc ix=”attr1″>value1</rc>
<rc ix=”attr2″>value2</rc>

and the bean has 2 properties:
String prop1;
String prop2;

Does anyone know how can i map this in a .betwixt file?
Also i can only use betwixt…

Answer 1

<class name="package.name.ClassName">
    <element name="rc">
        <attribute name="attr1" property="nameOfProperty1" />
        <element name="value" property="theFieldValue1MapsTo" />
    </element>
</class>

Something in that sense. Betwixt has a nasty habit of not warning you about errors. To ensure you get the debug log set the log level on betwixt to TRACE or INFO.

Furthermore you must ensure all properties/attributes have public getters and setters with no side-effects. If they are protected or anything less visible, they will simply be ignored.

The naming convention for the getters and setters is the standard Java convention. In other words boolean getters/setters are allowed to be called isSomeBooleanValue and setSomeBooleanValue.

Betwixt is very picky and has not been supported since ’08 I think, if you can, switch to JAXB or similar.
