I’m trying to implement this, where

<SomeXml>
   <SomeData>...</SomeData>
   <InputData>
       <Param key="key1" value="value1" />
       <Param key="key2" value="value2" />
   </InputData>
   <OutputData>
       <Param key="key3" value="value3" />
   </OutputData>
</SomeXml>

becomes

public class SomeXml {
    private SomeData someData;
    private Map<String, String> inputData;
    private Map<String, String> outputData;
}

Where the inputData map has (key1, value1), (key2, value2) and the outputData map has (key3, value3).

Here is what I have written;

@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlRootElement
public class MapElement {

    @XmlAttribute(name = "key')
    private String key;

    @XmlAttribute(name = "value")
    private String value;
}

@NoArgsConstructor
public class MapAdapter extends XmlAdapter<MapElement[], Map<String, String>> {

    public MapElement[] marshal(Map<String, String> args) throws Exception {
        MapElement[] mapElements = new mapElement[args.size()];
        int i = 0;
        for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : args.entrySet()) {
            mapElements[i++] = new MapElement(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
        }

        return mapElements;
    }

    public Map<String, String> unmarshal(MapElement[] args) throws Exception {
        Map<String, String> m = new TreeMap<>();
        for (MapElement elem : args) {
            m.put(elem.getKey(), elem.getValue());
        }
        return m;
    }
}    

@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessorType.FIELD)
@XmlRootElement
public class SomeXml {

    @XmlElement
    private SomeData someData;

    @XmlJavaAdapter(MapAdapter.class)
    @XmlElement(name = "InputData")
    private Map<String, String> inputData;

    @XmlJavaAdapter(MapAdapter.class)
    @XmlElement(name = "OutputData")
    private Map<String, String> outputData;
}

From what I have managed to determine, the InputData and OutputData maps are nonnull, so they are being created, but when checking the length of the args of the MapAdapter.unmarshal function, it is zero, implying that I’m not able to read in the tagged information properly. Any help would be appreciated.
