multiple <mapping> definitions for the same class, with different element names.

[gufux]

Hi all,

I've read in the archive that it's possible to define multiple <mapping> for the same class with different element names *if* the direction of binding is *only* input.
I've tried but there are errors and I think it's impossible....

I have for example this class

CompanyName {
     String name;
     String code;
}

and I want to bind this class to 2 different elements: <CompanyName> and <AgencyName> (only the element name change)

----------  XML -----------------
.......
<CompanyName name="IBMC" code="1" />
<AgencyName name="IBMA" code="2">
......
----------------------------------

so the binding with *global mapping*:

-------------- BINDING   -------------------------------
<binding direction="input">

<!-- COMPANY NAME -->
<mapping name="CompanyName" class="test.CompanyName">
   <value name="name" field="name"  style="attribute" />
   <value name="code" filed="code" style="attribute" />
</mapping>

<!-- AGENCY NAME -->
<mapping name="AgencyName" class="test.CompanyName">
   <value name="name" field="name"  style="attribute" />
   <value name="code" filed="code" style="attribute" />
</mapping>

</binding
----------------------------------------------------------------

So It's correct that also with direction binding to input is impossible to define multiple mappings for the same class with different elements names??

Thank you

Davide.

You want to use abstract mappings: http://jibx.sourceforge.net/tutorial/binding-mappings.html

Something like
<mapping class="CompanyName" abstract="true">
    <value style="attribute" name="name" field="name"/>
    <value style="attribute" name="code" field="code"/>
</mapping>

Then the reference would be something like
   <structure name="AgencyName" field="company"/>
where "company" is an ivar of type CompanyName
