How to populate Java POJO with the values from XML string?

Question

I have below XML response from third party webservice.

How can I populate XML values into Java POJO ? Please help me!

Thanks!

What have tried? Did you trying parsing the result using a DOM or SAX parser? — MadProgrammer, Oct 20 '14 at 05:26
I dont know which properties do I need to place in POJO since the xml has all nested elements. Please help me. — user755806, Oct 20 '14 at 05:27
But what have you tried? What problems did you hit with those attempts...? — MadProgrammer, Oct 20 '14 at 05:39

When you are generating the web service's client side from a given WSDL it should generate for you the POJO classes defined in the WSDL (in your case, you should have "TrafficHistoryResponse" which wraps "OperationRequest" and "TrafficHistoryResult" which wraps "Alexa" which wraps "TrafficHistory" which wraps "Range", "Site", "Start" and "HistoricalData" that holds "Data" array).

Please, refer to the following link for additional information about importing a WSDL: How to generate java classes from WSDL file

I think you need to create a stub class which is a pojo class in which all the xml tags will be turned into instance variables and the nesting of xml tags will be defined as nested pojo classes.

Then by applying proper mapping from webservice's response to this stub class your response data will be automatically populated in Java POJO class.
