JAXB. How to fill POJO class with inner classes / lists in it using JAXB pasrsing XML?

Question

Hi im trying to marshalling some xml into java class with inner classes in it but having a problem: inner classes doesn't fill outer class - their are nulls.

    <forms>
        <form mkgu-id="0" foreign-id="ticket-department-252-2017-12-12--0">
            <data>
                //some data
            </data>
            <rates>
                <rate indicator-id="2" value-id="45">45</rate>
                <rate indicator-id="13" value-id="49">49</rate>
                <rate indicator-id="221" value-id="55">55</rate>
                <rate indicator-id="42" value-id="60">60</rate>
                <rate indicator-id="53" value-id="65">65</rate>
            </rates>
        </form>
    </forms>

Heres rate and rates classes:

@XmlRootElement(name = "rate")
public class Rate {

    @XmlAttribute(name = "indicator-id")
    private int indicatorId;

    @XmlAttribute(name = "value")
    private int value;

    @XmlElement(name = "rate")
    private int rate;

rates

@XmlRootElement(name = "rates")
public class Rates {
    @XmlElement
    private ArrayList<Rate> rates;

And when i parse i got class implementation as String like this:

Forms{forms=[Form{mkguId=0, foreignId=ticket-department-252-2017-12-12--0, data=//some data, service=Service{id=1410073997, service='null'}, procedure=0, authority=Authority{id=1411364330, authority='null'}, date='2017-12-11 18:00:00', receivedDate='2017-12-12 07:42:31', okato='53401373000'}, rates=Rates{rates=null}}]}

some fields are not filled right. What am i missing and how to fix it?

Answer 1

In your class Rate you need to annotate your field rate with @XmlValue , not @XmlElement . Probably the same mistake in the Service class. It is the same mistake in your User class that you presented in an earlier edit of your post.
