Adding extensions to the entry

[Zeenat Lainwala]

I am trying to add an extension to an entry. The extension itself is an
anonymous complex type with the following serialized form
<xns:rootElement xmlns:xns="http://www.test.com">
        <xns:elementA>valueA</xns:elementA>
        <xns:elementB>valueB<xns:elementB>
</xns:rootElement>

I tried the following code but it didn't work.
Element rootElement = atomFactory.newElement(new QName(
"http://www.test.com", "rootElement"));
Element elementA = atomFactory.newElement(new QName("http://www.test.com",
"elementA"));
Element elementB = atomFactory.newElement(new QName("http://www.test.com",
"elementB"));
elementA.setParentElement(rootElement);
elementB.setParentElement(rootElement);
entry.addExtension(rootElement);

The parent of elementA and elementB is set to rootElement but elementA and
elementB
are not set as the children of rootElement. Is this a bug?

Is there any other way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Zeenat

Nop, it's not a bug, there is other way to do that. You should use nested
elements, look at the code:

ExtensibleElement root = entry.addExtension(new QName("http://www.test.com",
"rootElement"));
root.addSimpleExtension(new QName("http://www.test.com", "elementA"),
"valueA");
root.addSimpleExtension(new QName("http://www.test.com", "elementB"),
"valueB");
