<media:text type="html">In April I wrote a post reflecting on my 15 years at DeviantArt, since the project began in April of 2000 and was launched to the public on August 7th. I went back and re-read what I wrote, and wow, speaking of audacious I'm pretty hardcore in this post. I write from my heart sometimes and then I hit post and that's that. So for our official 15th Birthday I wanted to re-share a link to that post:<br /><br />And then today, I wrote this reflection for you as a toast &amp; thanks for all the llamas:<br /><br />Happy 15th Birthday DeviantArt!

... etc ....
but I'm getting the following error:
08-13 15:55:38.529: W/System.err(1437): org.simpleframework.xml.core.PersistenceException: Element 'title' is already used with @org.simpleframework.xml.Element(data=false, name=title, required=false, type=void) on field 'title' public java.lang.String com.example.feedreader.SimpleRss$Channel$RssItem.title at line 1
I noticed that there is a title
tag in two different levels, but I'm not sure how to make the distinction in code.
Here's what I have:
@Root(name = "rss", strict = false)
public class SimpleRss implements FeedRoot {
@Root(name = "channel")
public static class Channel {
@Element(name = "title", required = false)
public String title = "";
@Attribute(name = "href", required = false)
@ElementList(entry = "link", inline = true, required = false)
private List<String> links;
@Element(name = "description", required = false)
@Namespace(prefix = "")
public String description = "";
@Element(name = "pubDate", required = false)
public String pubDate = "";
@Element(name = "event_link", required = false)
public String event_link = "";
@Root(name = "item")
public static class RssItem implements SimpleFeedItem {
public String parent = "";
public String feedUrl = null;
public Date date = null;
@Element(name = "title", required = false)
public String title = "";
@Element(name = "link", required = false)
public String link = "";
@Element(name = "event_link", required = false)
public String event_link = "";
@Element(name = "description", required = false)
public String description = "";
@Element(name = "pubDate", required = false)
public String pubDate = "";
@Path("enclosure")
@Attribute(name = "url", required = false)
public String enclosureUrl = "";
@Path("enclosure")
@Attribute(name = "type", required = false)
public String enclosureType = "";
@Override
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
@Override
public String getDescription() {
return description;
}
@Override
public String getLink() {
return link;
}
@Override
public String getEventLink() {
return event_link;
}
@Override
public String getAdditional() {
return parent;
}
@Override
public String getPubDate() {
return pubDate;
}
@Override
public String getFeedUrl() {
return feedUrl;
}
@Override
public void setFeedUrl(String url) {
feedUrl = url;
}
@Override
public void setDate(Date date) {
this.date = date;
}
@Override
public Date getDate() {
return date;
}
@Override
public String getPictureUrl() {
if (DataUtils.isEmpty(enclosureType)) {
return null;
} else if (SimpleFeedItem.SupportedFeedImageTypes
.contains(enclosureType.toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH))) {
return enclosureUrl;
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
@ElementList(inline = true, required = false)
public List<RssItem> rssItems = J.newArrayList();
}
@Element(name = "channel")
public Channel channel;
@Override
public List<SimpleFeedItem> getItems() {
List<SimpleFeedItem> items = J.newArrayList();
if (channel != null && channel.rssItems != null) {
for (RssItem item : channel.rssItems) {
String title = channel.title;
if (title == null) {
title = "";
}
item.parent = title.intern();
items.add(item);
}
}
return items;
}
@Override
public String getTitle() {
if (channel == null) {
return "";
} else {
return channel.title;
}
}
}
I've tried commenting out the
@Element(name = "title", required = false)
public String title = "";
in the Channel
class and I get the same error. Also if I just rename it.
If I do the same with the one in the RssItem
class however, it will work but I don't get the titles for the items.
Thanks!
This fixes the problem:
Remove this:
@Element(name = "title", required = false)
Replace with:
//inside the inner class RssItem
@Path("title")
@Text(required=false)
public String title = "";
This should be repeated for any other field that gets the exception.
It appears that using
@Element(name = "title", required = false, inLine=true)
public String title = "";
will solve your problem, as shown here.
There are two title
elements in your XML file. The first title
element is in channel
tag and the other title
element is in item
tag. so you should specify to the parser that the paths for these titles are different. do that in the following way:
Edit this:
@Element(name = "title", required = false)
public String title = "";
Add Path Annotation:
@Element(name = "title", required = false)
@Path('rss/channel')
public String title = "";
here you specified for the title
in channel
tag that this is your path. the other title
differs from you :)
