Issues in JAXB conversion of List<String>

[Pankaj Rajankar]

Hello everyone,

I have a SOAP based WebService, that returns the following object as response

    
<xsd:complexType name="ReportResult">
        <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="reportRowId" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
            ....................
            <xsd:element name="customFieldNames" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
        </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

The SOAP message looks like this

<ReportResult>
<reportRowId>1</reportRowId>
...................
<customFieldNames>Sales Associate ID</customFieldNames>
<customFieldNames>feedback</customFieldNames>
</ReportResult>
<ReportResult>
<reportRowId>2</reportRowId>
...................
<customFieldNames>Sales Associate ID</customFieldNames>
</ReportResult>

When this SOAP message is converted to a JAXB object I get a List<String> for customFieldNames
The customFieldNames list should have 2 elemnts
customFieldNames[0]= Sales Associate ID
customFieldNames[1]= feedback

Instead I get a list with 4 elements
customFieldNames[0]= Sales
customFieldNames[1]= Associate
customFieldNames[2]= ID
customFieldNames[3]= feedback

Any idea why this is happening? Any pointers are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pankaj.

<customFieldNames>Sales Associate ID</customFieldNames>

Can you try with under score like <customFieldNames>Sales_Associate_ID</customFieldNames>
