StaxEventItemWriter using useAttributeFor

[steph.c]

Hello,

I want to make a batch that use a bean org.springframework.batch.item.xml.StaxEventItemWr iter; in the class XStreamMarshaller 'useAttributesFor' property takes either a <String, Class> map or a <Class, String> map,
and in my config file I don't be able to make a <String, Class> !!!

Do you have any examples of using useAttributeFor on XStreamMarshaller ?


This example of code :
<util:map id="aliases">
<entry key="trade" value="org.springframework.batch.sample.domain.Tra de" />
</util:map>

=> return <String,String>


An other possibility is to use annotation "XStreamAsAttribute" but it seems to me that the annotation not be applied.


Thanks in advance
Steph

This is really more of a question about Spring OXM than Spring Batch. XStreamMarshaller is just delegated to by the stax writer. You may want to try posting this question in the Spring Web Services forum (oxm spun off of spring WS)

It's actually more of a question for the Spring Framework forum. I believe you can change the value-type in the map using an attribute in the <map> element.

Didn't knew about this feature, I've tested it and it works with the following spring configuration (returns Map<String,Class>) :

<util:map id="sampleMap">
  <entry key="key1">
    <value type="java.lang.Class">java.lang.Integer</value>
  </entry>
</util:map>
