I am trying to add xmlName attribute to a field in my mapping file. Now I know I can add xmlName attribute to any field by adding it manually, but I want to know if it is possible to add it using Java code.

Here is my mapping.xml file:

beanio>

  <stream name="employees" format="xml">
    <record name="employee" class="example.Employee">
      <field name="firstName" />
      <field name="lastName" />
      <field name="title" />
      <field name="salary" />
      <field name="hireDate" type="date" />
    </record>
  </stream>
  
</beanio>

In the above file, I want to set xmlName attribute for my field firstName as fName. I have looked through BeanIO documentation, but I did not see any method that would help me add xmlName attribute using Java. Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thank you for all the help.

you can refer to BuilderApiAndAnnotations and add xmlName attribute by FieldBuilder#xmlName(String xmlName)

  • Thank you so much for answering the question, but could you please provide an example on how to implement it to read/update the file? – james Jul 22 '23 at 01:45
  • Do you mean that you want to add xmlName attribute to the mapping file by java code, why? – OpticalEngineering Jul 22 '23 at 02:51
  • I want to create data using that XML mapping file, so if I do not update that file and add xmlName attribute using java, then in the data it will have the name of that tag from code? – james Jul 22 '23 at 03:35
  • I do not want to add into it, but how do I create data using the mapping file and then use the xmlName attribute set in the code – james Jul 22 '23 at 14:48
  • I know how to create data using mapping file. I need your help because I'm going to read the same mapping file, but then for some field I will be using a different field name(xmlName) that I will define in the code. I need an example on how to set xmlName for a field inside the code. I do not want to update the mapping file, but I need to update the data that it is being created using the mapping file. – james Jul 23 '23 at 13:13
