Android simpleXML Element '[element Name]' is already used

Question

I have tried to use other problems brought up on this website, but none of them relate to what I am doing.

I am trying to 'deserialize' soap xml using simpleXML for an Android application. I'm getting closer and closer to getting this, but I have hit a brick wall here.

When I run my code, I get the following error:

org.simpleframework.xml.core.PersistenceException: Element 'serviceOrderCT' is already used with @org.simpleframework.xml.Element(name=, type=void, data=false, required=true) on field 'serviceOrderCT' private serviceOrderCT GetServiceOrdersResult.serviceOrderCT at line 26

So, the problem seems to be with the 'GetServiceOrdersResult.java' class (code below), but I can't put my finger on what it is.

I have been at this for hours and have gotten nowhere.

Help to get passed this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks.

So, I solve my problem, a day after asking for help, on my own Yet again.

You have to implement an ElementList, if you want to get all three serviceOrderCTs. It was only picking up one.

If I removed the other two, I would get something back.
