Converting the attributes and the text

[learninghuman]

I have a need to convert XML to Avro and i am exploring this tool to achieve the same.

Xml Sample

<employee id="100">
    <department id="1000">HR</department>
</employee>

XSD

<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="employee">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="department">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:simpleContent>
              <xs:extension base="xs:string">
                <xs:attribute type="xs:short" name="id"/>
              </xs:extension>
            </xs:simpleContent>
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
      <xs:attribute type="xs:byte" name="id"/>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Code for the conversion

public static void main(String[] args) {
        Schema schema = Converter.createSchema(new File("employee.xsd"));
        GenericData.Record record  = Converter.createDatum(schema, new File("employee.xml"));
        System.out.println(record.get("department"));
        System.out.println(record.get("employee"));

}

Output

{"id": 1000}

null

Questions

1. How do i get the id attribute from the employee tag?
2. How do i get the text from the department tag? The output prints only the attriabutes.

well you will have to loop through the attributes
