This is enlightening. Is there anyway the StaxEvenItemReader (or its variants) can process nest items. I have to parse a large file with complex structure like below. I am wondering if Spring Batch is good fit for it. Stuck here. Any idea would be much appreciated !

<xml...>
<records>
<record id="1">
<simpleValue>1</simpleValue>
<recordDetail>
<name>detail1</name>
<count>3</count>
</recordDetail>
<recordlinks>
<recordlink>
....
</recordlink>
<recordlink>
....
</recordlink>
</record>
<record id="2">
<simpleValue>2</simpleValue>
<recordDetail>
<name>detail2</name>
<count>3</count>
</recordDetail>
<recordlinks>
<recordlink>
....
</recordlink>
<recordlink>
....
</recordlink>
</record>
<records>
</xml>

Check out the details on the xstream marshaller (org.springframework.oxm.xstream.XStreamMarshaller ). If you don't like how it handles the XML then swap it out for a different marshaller.

Actually that's exactly what in my mind. Having spent too much time to make XstreamMarshaller work. Still I couldn't get the attribute correctly. Will give Jaxb a try as I red nice thing about them. Thanks.

Just a follow-up. I tried playing with Jaxb2 Marshaller. It works like a charm. I am new to both xstream and jaxb2. Guess I am going to say bye-bye to xstream.
