Annotating a List which must appear as an element

wolfc May 26, 2009 3:38 AM

Given the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-mb xmlns="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee
 http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss_mb_0_1.xsd"
 version="0.1">
 <managed-beans>
 <managed-bean>
 <name>SimpleResourceBean</name>
 <bean-class>org.jboss.reloaded.injection.test.simple.SimpleResourceBean</bean-class>
 </managed-bean>
 </managed-beans>
</jboss-mb>

I want ManagedBeansMetaData to be a List.

public class ManagedBeansMetaData extends ArrayList<ManagedBeanMetaData>

So I can simply do this in my deployment visitor:

protected List<ManagedBeanMetaData> getComponents(ManagedBeanJarMetaData deployment)
 {
 return deployment.getManagedBeans();
 }

Plus it makes more sense.

How do I annotate ManagedBeansMetaData and ManagedBeanMetaData to make that work?

Can't happen with jaxb 2.0, it needs jaxb 2.1. And then as Emanuel pointed out, it simply becomes:
@XmlElement(name="managed-bean") @XmlElementWrapper(name="managed-beans") public void setManagedBeans(ManagedBeansMetaData managedBeans) { this.managedBeans = managedBeans; }
