Remove class attribute and rename Element

Forrest Teel — Thu, 12 Apr 2018 19:45:45 -0000

I have a list of objects that derive from a base class (Query) and when the list is serialized out each object has the base class name and an attribute of the derived class name:
Example
<Queries>
<Query class=".io.snmpOutObject.GetBulkQuery"></Query>
<Query class="io.snmpOutObject.GetBulkQuery""></Query>
</Queries>

Is there a way to get the element name to be just the derived classes name?
<Queries>
< GetBulkQuery>
< GetQuery">
</Queries>

Using same id attribute for different element types

Bludwarf — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:34:53 -0000

I am using SimpleXML for parsing XML to Java objects, but I am not able to parse this file :

<pets>
    <cats>
        <cat id="0" talk="miaou" />
        <cat id="1" talk="MIWAOUHAUOHou" />
    </cats>
    <dogs>
        <dog id="0"/>
    </dogs>
    <mine>
        <cat ref="1"/>
    </mine>
</pets>

Using this Java class :

@Default
@Root(name = "pets")
public class SimpleIds
{
    @ElementList(required = false)
    public ArrayList<Cat> cats;

    @ElementList(required = false)
    public ArrayList<Dog> dogs;

    @Root(name = "cat")
    public static class Cat
    {
        @Attribute
        public String talk;

        public void talk()
        {
            System.out.println(talk);
        }
    }

    @Root(name = "dog")
    public static class Dog
    {

    }

    @Element
    public Mine mine;

    @Root(name = "mine")
    public static class Mine
    {
        @Element
        public Cat cat;
    }
}

And this Serializer :

Strategy strategy = new CycleStrategy("id", "ref");
Serializer serializer = new Persister(strategy);
SimpleIds xml = serializer.read(SimpleIds.class, new File("simpleIds.xml"));
xml.mine.cat.talk();

It throws me :

org.simpleframework.xml.strategy.CycleException: Element '0' already exists

Is it impossible to use this kind of xml files with SimpleXML ? Or is it just a bad xml format ?

PS : If I change cat id="0" to cat id="2" it works like a charm...

#6 Keep newline (\n) in attribute on serialization

Correction:
The \n character is still there but it should be instead. How can i achieve this?

Keep newline (\n) in attribute on serialization

McLoo — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:31:45 -0000

Hi Niall,

is there a way to preserve the \n character on serialization?
Didn't find a way to do this.

If the string in java is definded like this:
myAttribute = "Contains\nnewline char"

The XML attribute looks like myAttribute = "Contains newline char"

Expected was:
myAttribute = "Contains
newline char"

McLoo

Serialize ArrayList coming from a DAO

kbjones — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 22:29:44 -0000

Hello,

How do you serialize/unserialize a list of objects where the top level object is an ArrayList. My example would be calling a Customer DAO and it returning a list of Customers.

I would like to be able to serialize the return list without putting that list in a wrapper class. Here is an example of the output I'm looking for.
<customers>
<customer id="1"> <customerId> 132 </customerId> ... </customer>
<customer id="2"> <customerId> 123 </customerId> ... </customer>
<customer id="3"> <customerId> 321 </customerId> ... </customer>
</customers>

ID generation violates W3C standard

Anonymous — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:25:13 -0000

Using the cycle strategy the generated ids violate the W3C standard. Ids have to start with a letter | _ | : and can be followed by any sign. Is there any reason why the ids do not match this regular expression given by W3C?
In order to transform the generated xml the id and ref element are needed to build the dom. However matching the xml against the DTD will fail since the ids are invalid.
Is it possiable to have this changed? We already had a look at the source and will gladly have it changed by ourself and if you want we can commit the changes.

Best Regards

Wrong parameters values

Bat — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 12:15:28 -0000

I'm trying to read urlencoded parameters from a Request object using the getParameter() method.

But the value returned doesn't correspond to the expected one.

It might be due to a bad encoding of the String, since the trace of the urlencoded parameter and value given by Ethereal is:

info_hash=%B2%E3%FA%0F%DEd%EE%2F%26%B5%13%F2%FE%9E!t%EA%B7%AC%A1

but the value I get using getParameter("info_hash") is

%B2%E3%FA%0F%DEd%EE%2F%26%B5%13%F2%FE%9E!t%3F%A1

Maybe it is because the parameters are stored as String.
In this case, what could be done?

Thank you...

Bat
