JAXB Help

[Luke Murphy]

Hi,
I have an XML such as:

<car>
<id>402</id>
<name>Dublin</name>
<wheel>
<colour>Dublin Harddrives Opportunity</colour>
<size>15</size>
</wheel>
</car>

As you can see Wheel has two elements colour and size. In JAXB, to represent this I could have a JAXB Car class and a JAXB Wheel class.
But I think this is overkill. I would like to represent this structure as just one JAXB class: Car.

Is there any way to do this?

Also, just say the in Java the only element I am in interested in the Wheel is the colour, it is possible to just get this element into a JAXB Car class anyway?

Thanks

Aside, you could write your own code to read the XML-based document and create whatever objects you want without using the JAXB API.

Correct. If I was only looking for one attribute, I do that and use DOM /XPATH.

I want to avoid writing marshalling code and use JAXB as much as I can here.

So you will get a Car object and a Wheel object ... and like it
