Comment 3 Kevin Conner 2009-12-09 13:56:05 UTC

This is a problem with compatibility but would be better if this were documented, as the workaround is a straight forward configuration change.

Comment 4 trev 2009-12-09 14:05:57 UTC

Linked jira points out this is a compatibility change that needs documenting, From the Jira :-

The "addToList" option was removed in Smooks v1.1. Normally we try to maintain full backward compatibility for our configs, but in this case, support was removed completely.

Any configs using this can be updated to use the newer <jb:bean> config namespace (i.e. there is a migration path). It handles lists etc: http://www.smooks.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=V1.2:Smooks_v1.2_User_Guide#Java_Binding_Configuration_Details

Link: Added: This issue is a dependency of JBQA-2762

Comment 7 David Le Sage 2010-02-10 03:15:23 UTC

This has now been documented in the "Migration" section of the Release Notes. 


Here is a draft of the text: 



The addToList option was completely removed in Smooks v1.1, meaning that the normal standard
of backward-compatibility could not be maintained.

Update any configurations that rely upon this option so that they instead use the newer <jb:bean>
configuration namespace, which can handle lists. See the "Java Binding" chapter in the Smooks
User Guide for more information.


EDIT:  Fixed grammar error.
