JAXB 2.0 - another newbie

Question

I am generating an XML file for the following Java class.
public class NCIPConfig
    private String  name;
    private int     port;
    private boolean enabled = true;
     @XmlElement(name="message", type=Message.class)
    public  List<Message> messages = new ArrayList<Message>();
}When I generate the XML for a record it looks something like this:
<config>
    <name>Test Configuration</name>
    <port>4788</port>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <message>
        <type>AuthenticateUser</type>
        <supported>false</supported>
    </message>
    <message>
        <type>AcceptItem</type>
        <supported>true</supported>
    </message>
</config>But I would like to have the 'message' elements nested under a single 'messages' element (without having a separate Messages object class):
<config>
    <name>Test Configuration</name>
    <port>4788</port>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <messages>
        <message>
            <type>AuthenticateUser</type>
           <supported>false</supported>
        </message>
        <message>
            <type>AcceptItem</type>
            <supported>true</supported>
        </message>
    </messages>
</config>Can someone help or point me to an example of doing this?

Answer 1

i'm actually doing something similar to that.. what i did was to modify the unmarshalled object before marshalling it back to an xml document.
basically what u need to do, is to go:
<marshalled object>.getConfig().getMessage() <- and this will return you a list of messages. once u've got the list, u can then wrap the list with a new element called "Messages".
i'm sorry i can't really write up the code for u as i don't know exactly how your jaxb classes look like, but i hope the concept will do the job...
