getting Dynamic attribute for element in Jaxb

Question

I have the following XML tag with many attributes. The number/name of the attributes is not given because I am getting the XML in runtime and I just know the name of the tag

Answer 1

Create 2 classes ScriptList and Script:

@XmlType(name = "ScriptList")
public class ScriptList {
    private Collection<Script> scripts;

    @XmlElement(name = "location")
    public Collection<Script> getSripts() {
        return scripts;
    }
}

@XmlType(name = "script")
public class Script {
    private String name;
    private String value;
    private String id;
    private String alias;

    @XmlAttribute(name="name")
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    // add similar getters for value, id, alias.
    // add setters for all fields.
}

I believe, that's all. At least this can be your starting point.

Answer 2

You can do:

@XmlAnyAttribute
private Map<QName, String> attributes;

Almost the Map<String, String> that you wanted.
