XmlMapper cannot read an XML content

Question

I am trying to read XML content but it gives me the following error:

Unrecognized field "Blob" (class com.example.blobstorage.dto.Blobs), not marked as ignorable (one known property: "list"])

The XML is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<EnumerationResults ServiceEndpoint="https://test.blob.core.windows.net/" ContainerName="publicfiles">
    <Blobs>
        <Blob>

            <OrMetadata />
        </Blob>
    </Blobs>
    <NextMarker />
</EnumerationResults>

I am trying to read it with:

EnumerationResults enumerationResults = xmlMapper.readValue(s, EnumerationResults.class); // s is the XML in string format.

I have the following classes:

EnumerationResults.java

@Data
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class EnumerationResults implements Serializable {
    public Blobs Blobs;
}

Blobs.java

@Data
public class Blobs implements Serializable {
    public List<Blob> list;
}

Blob.java

@Data
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Blob implements Serializable {
    public String Name;
}

What I am missing?

Answer 1

Blobs class looks redundant.

Have you tried something like this.

@Data
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class EnumerationResults implements Serializable {
    @JsonAlias("Blobs")
    public List<Blob> blobs;
}

Output:

EnumerationResults(blobs=[Blob(Name=mainfolder/test_files/test1.pdf), Blob(Name=mainfolder/test_files/test2.pdf)])
