Trouble adding unique elements

[Dan Grindstaff]

Hello, I am trying to add a group of elements that must be individually named. I have written the code below:

public void createFields()
	{
		// Creates the Fields portion of the XML feed
		final GoDataFeed.Fields fields = objFactory.createGoDataFeedFields();
		final GoDataFeed.Fields.Field field = objFactory.createGoDataFeedFieldsField();
		field.setName("ExternalId");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Name");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Description");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Brand");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("PositioningStatement");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ProductIdType");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Size");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Price");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("MSRP");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Gender");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ProductBenefits");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("StockLevel");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Currency");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ProductTaxCode");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Construction");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Weight");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Height");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Insole");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("UpperMaterial");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("MidsoleMaterial");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("OutsoleMaterial");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("MidsoleTechnology");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("OutsoleTechnology");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Width");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("FiberContent");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Material");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ShippingWeight");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ShippingWeightUnitMeasurement");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ItemType");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("StyleKeyword");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ParentChild");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Department");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("Color");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ItemPackageQuantity");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ImageUrl");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("EAN");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		field.setName("ManufacturerPartNumber");
		fields.getField().add(field);
		goDataFeed.setFields(fields);
	}

What I get for xml results is the exact number of fields I need but they are all named "ManufacturerPartNumber". Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You have a Field object. (A GoDataFeed.Fields.Field object to be specific.) You repeatedly call its setName() method. So presuming that setName does something like setting the value of a private "name" variable inside that object, at the end of all your posted code that "name" variable is going to have the value it was last given.

So my guess is that you should create a new Field object for each field, rather than trying to reuse a single Field object.

Thank you very much! Problem resolved.
