assume the following XML structure:
<A>
<B>
<C>
<!-- other stuff -->
</C>
</B>
</A>
I am not interested in mapping tags A and B, I just want to map C and what is within it. I tried it like this:
@Root
@Path("/A/B")
public class C {
// Mapping for fields within
}
Also tried @Path("/A/B/C") but nothing seems to work. I don't want to create mappings for the outer tags.
It crashes with the following error message:
"Exception in thread "main" org.simpleframework.xml.core.ValueRequiredException: Unable to satisfy @org.simpleframework.xml.Element(name=, type=void, data=false, required=true) on field 'InvoiceNumber' public java.lang.String silc.xml.ups.Invoice.InvoiceNumber for class silc.xml.ups.Invoice at line 2"
Here, "InvoiceNumber" is another element within tag C. If I comment out A and B everything works as intended with no error.
My expected result is, that tags A and B are ignored and C is treatet as root node for parsing the XML document.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
