4.9. Binding Tips

Here are some binding tips:

set jb:bean createOnElement to the root element (or #document) for bean instances where only a single instance will exist in the model.
Set it to the recurring element for collection bean instances.
Warning
If you do not specify the correct element in this case, you could lose data.
jb:value decoder: in most cases, Smooks will automatically detect the data-type decoder to be used for a jb:value binding. However, some decoders require configuration (one example being that the DateDecoder [decoder="Date"]). In these cases, you must define the decoder attribute (and the jb:decodeParam child elements for specifying the decode parameters for that decoder) on the binding.
jb:wiring property is not required when binding to collections.
To set the required collection type, define the jb:bean class and wire in the collection entries. For arrays, just postfix the jb:bean class attribute value with square brackets (for example, class=&"com.acme.OrderItem[]").
