Updating/adding unbounded XML in Java/JAXB












0















So I'm marshalling and unmarshalling XML into a List, I've got some user accounts which contain a username, current funds etc but a single user can own one or many shares.



       <xsd:complexType name="Accounts">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Username" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="Password" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="Name" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="Funds" type="xsd:float"/>
<xsd:element name="ownedShares">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Symbol" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="Amount" type="xsd:int" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>


My problem is I don't know how to add to their owned shares, I can add new users and update existing ones, but the function parameter to update owned shares is a Accounts.OwnedShares value.



Is their a better way to format the XML so I can just insert and add and update new strings/floats into the accounts XML?



If it helps I want my XML to look a little like this -



  <Username>Test</Username>
<Password>Test</Password>
<Name>Test</Name>
<Funds>111</Funds>
<Shares>
<Company>Test</Company>
<Amount>111</Amount>
</Shares>
<Shares>
<Company>test2</Company>
<Amount>10</Amount>
</Shares>
</Account>

          Add the following to your Account XSD schema to have Shares added correctly:



          <xs:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
          <xs:element name="Shares">
          <xs:complexType>
          <xs:sequence>
          <xs:element name="Company" type="xs:string"/>
          <xs:element name="Amount" type="xs:string"/>
          </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
          </xs:element>
          </xs:sequence>
