Access attribute of internal element in the most simple way

Question

Is there any way to do mapping with single java bean for such simple xml:

   some url
   

        

Answer 1

As I didn't want to create redundant classes in my package, the best solution I've found is:

@XmlRootElement( name = "item" )
public class Item {

    @XmlRootElement( name = "parent" )
    private static class ParentIdWrapper {
        @XmlAttribute( name = "id" )
        public String id;
    }

    @XmlElement( name = "item-url" )
    private String url;

    @XmlElement( name = "parent" )
    private ParentIdWrapper parentIdWrap;

    public String getParentId() {
        return this.parentIdWrap.id;
    }
}
