Hi Andy,

That's solve my problem exactly. :)

Just for information for beginner like me. 

You can use this sample below.

Thanks again.

Cheers.

public class PersonBean {
    private String name;
    ArrayList items;
    ArrayList products;
    
    public ArrayList getProducts() {return products;}
    public void setProducts(ArrayList products) {this.products = products;}

    public ArrayList getItems() {return items;}
    public void setItems(ArrayList items) {this.items = items;}
}

public class Item {
    String id;

    public String getId() {return id;}
    public void setId(String id) {this.id = id;}
}


PersonBean.betwixt
****************************************
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<info primitiveTypes="attribute">
  <element name="person">
    <element name="name" property="name" />
    
    <element name="lotsofitems" >
       <element name="oneitem" property="items" class="betwixt.Item" />
    </element>
  </element>
</info>



Item.betwixt
****************************************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<info primitiveTypes="element">
  	<element name="item" property="item" >
      <element name="id" property="id"/>
    </element>
</info>

Hello Han Ming,

I'm also somewhat new to Betwixt, but have gotten a number of things to 
work so
I'll take a crack at your question.

What do does you betwixt-config or .betwixt file look like for the 
Person class?

I belive that if you're depending on betwixt to infer the output it 
will assume
that properties are to be treated as xml-attributes of a given xml-element.

try placing an Item.betwixt in the same directory with the Item.java

Item.betwixt
--------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<info primitiveTypes="element">
   <element name="person">
     <element name="id" property="id"/>
     <addDefaults />
   </element>
</info>

I'd expect the output to be what you were expecting:

> <?xml version='1.0' ?>
> <person name="John Smith">
>   <items>
>     <Item><id>a</id></Item>
>     <Item><id>b</id></Item>
>   </items>
> </person>

Andy
