jackson xml deserialize inline array
It should be possible to handle "unwrapped" style of list elements with Jackson XML module 2.1, with @JacksonXmlElementWrapper(useWrapping=false).
Structure should be something like this:
@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName="parents")public class Parents { @JacksonXmlElementWrapper(useWrapping=false) public List<Parent> parent;}public class Parent { @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute=true) public String name; public String description; @JacksonXmlElementWrapper(useWrapping=false) public List<Prop> prop;}public class Prop { @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute=true) public String name; public String value;}so your solution was quite close.
Note that if inner classes are used, they need to have 'static' in declaration.I tested this with 2.1.4, and it works for me.
