How to ignore a specific node when parsing XML with Jackson

Question

I want to know if it's possible to ignore one or many nodes when parsing XML using Jackson ML module.

I want to be able to parse this XML

<bundle>
  <id value="myBundleId"/>
  <meta>
    <profile value="http://myurl/profile1" />
    <profile value="http://myurl/profile2" />
    <tag>
      <system value="https://myurl/system" />
      <code value="myAppCode"/>
    </tag>
  </meta>
  <type value="message" />
</bundle>

into this POJO object

import com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.annotation.JacksonXmlElementWrapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.annotation.JacksonXmlProperty;

import lombok.Data;

@Data
public class Bundle {

    @JacksonXmlElementWrapper(localName = "id")
    @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute = true, localName = "value")
    private String id;

    @JacksonXmlElementWrapper(localName = "type")
    @JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute = true, localName = "value")
    private String type;
}

Right now it's not working as I think the annotation @JacksonXmlElementWrapper is only working with lists.

It also gives me the following error message :

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Conflicting setter definitions for property "value"

Try the following:

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Bundle {
   ...
}

Alternatively:

mapper.disable(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES);
