trying to get xmlcoder to give you what you are looking for is like trying to get blood out of a stone. by introducing a pojo to represent the <depts> tag you will be able to bodge it, but it's much more straight forward to just take the raw un-bodged output and stick it through an XSLT stylesheet.

Hi all,

I have an array of objects that I want to encode to XML. Let's say an array of departments. I need the XML to be generated to look like:

<depts>
<dept>
    <name>B</name>
    <description>BBBB</description>
</dept>
<dept>
    <name>A</name>
    <description>AAAA</description>
</dept>
</depts>
I am unable to get the <depts> and </depts> tags. I get only the inner XML.

I use a mapping file that looks like:

<model>
        <entity name="com.webobjects.foundation.NSArray" xmlTag="depts">
<property name="com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOGenericRecord" xmlTag="dept"/>
        </entity>
        
<entity name="com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOGenericRecord" xmlTag="dept">
                <property name="name" xmlTag="name"/>
                <property name="description" xmlTag="description"/>
        </entity>
</model>

In my code, I have the following:

WOXMLCoder coder = WOXMLCoder.coderWithMapping(mapFilePath);

String responseXML = coder.encodeRootObjectForKey(depts, "depts");
where depts is an NSArray with the department objects (EOGenericRecords). What mistake could I be making?
Thanks a ton in advance...
Kamal
