=Mapping to a Union Field with an XML Direct Mapping=
+
 
+
Given the XML schema in this example, the figure below illustrates an XML direct mapping to an attribute in a corresponding XML document.
+
 
+
Note the <tt>shoeSize</tt> attribute in this class: when using a union field, the corresponding attribute must be able to store all possible values.
+
 
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
+
    <xsd:element name="customer" type="customer-type" />
+
    <xsd:complexType name="customer-type">
+
        <xsd:sequence>
+
            <xsd:element name="shoe-size" type="size-type" />
+
        </xsd:sequence>
+
    </xsd:complexType>
+
    <xsd:simpleType name="size-type">
+
        <xsd:union memberTypes="xsd:decimal xsd:string" />
+
    </xsd:simpleType>
+
</xsd:schema>
+
</source>

The [[#Figure 58-9| XML Direct Mapping to the First Valid Union Type]] figure  illustrates an XML direct mapping to a union field in an XML document that conforms to the schema in the [[#Example 58-16|Schema for XML Direct Mapping to a Union Field]] example. When EclipseLink unmarshalls the XML document, it tries each of the union types until it can make a successful conversion. The first schema type in the union is <tt>xsd:decimal</tt>. Because "10.5" is a valid decimal, EclipseLink converts the value to the appropriate type. If the <tt>Object</tt> attribute is specific enough to trigger an appropriate value, EclipseLink will use that type instead. Otherwise, EclipseLink uses a default (in this case <tt>BigDecimal</tt>). You can override this behavior in Java code.

The [[#Figure 58-10|XML Direct Mapping to Another Valid Union Type]] figure illustrates an XML direct mapping to union field in another XML document that conforms to the schema in [[#Example 58-16|Schema for XML Direct Mapping to a Union Field]]. In this document, the value "M" is not a valid <tt>xsd:decimal</tt> type so the next union type is tried. The next union type is <tt>xsd:string</tt> and a conversion can be done.

XMLDirectMapping shoeSizeMapping = new XMLDirectMapping();
+
shoeSizeMapping.setAttributeName("shoeSize");
+
XMLUnionField shoeSizeField = new XMLUnionField();
+
shoeSizeField.setXPath("shoe-size/text()");
+
shoeSizeField.addSchemaType(XMLConstants.DECIMAL_QNAME);
+
shoeSizeField.addSchemaType(XMLConstants.STRING_QNAME);
+
shoeSizeMapping.setField(shoeSizeField);
+
+
To override the default conversion, use the <tt>XMLUnionField</tt> method <tt>addConversion</tt><nowiki>:</nowiki>
+
shoeSizeField.addConversion(XMLConstants.DECIMAL_QNAME, Float.class);

==Mapping to a Union of Lists with an XML Direct Mapping==
+
Given the XML schema in [[#Example 58-18|Schema for XML Direct Mapping to Union of Lists]], the [[#Figure 58-11|XML Direct Mapping to Union of Lists]] figure illustrates an XML direct mapping to a union of lists in a corresponding XML document. The [[#Example 58-19|Java for XML Direct Mapping to Union of Lists]] example shows how to configure this mapping in Java.

==Mapping to a Union of Unions with an XML Direct Mapping==
+
Given the XML schema in the [[#Example 58-20|Schema for XML Direct Mapping to a Union of Unions]] example, the [[#Figure 58-12|Java Class for XML Direct Mapping to a Union of Unions]] figure illustrates a Java class that can be mapped to a corresponding XML document.
