sorry, still use a map so that you only get the bits you want, but
don't try and force xmlcoder to give you the structure you want. use
xslt for that.

Thanks Simon.
I tried that. I ran into one problem though. The 'no-mapping' XML
produced by WOXMLCoder has a peculiar way of including the entire
object graph in the first few elements and then having references to
the ids later. This is not allowing me to do what I want even with
XSLT.
For example, if I want the XML for all employees, the XML for the
first employee will have its department's XML too. Now the
department's XML will have all employees in that department. When
the next employee in the array is to be displayed, it does not come
up as the full XML but only a reference to the earlier instance of
the employee. I was unable to figure out how to handle this with XSLT.
Any ideas on how to avoid this?
Thanks

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
