I know that there is OPAX to better handle XML files to support an either conversion using a bit of reflection but I did not use it myself. On Jul 16, 2010, at 6:46 PM, Larry Gadallah wrote:

Hi all:

I am a noob searching for an example of how to demarshall a set of simple and complex XML nodes into an object using Pastell or something similar. I have found many examples of how to pick out all of the elements of a certain type into a collection, but I'm trying to grab the data from a mixed collection of (~20) elements that are children of a particular element type and unpack them into an object.

Does anyone know of some good examples of how to do this using Pastell or something similar?

Can you give more detailled information about how the XML maps onto the data model? I mean if you have childr elements will that map to objects that are referenced similar? Do attributes map to variables and such? Or do you want to freely define how the structure of the XML resembles into your objects? Norbert
