Skip an element during Xml deserialization process

[jeserkin]

I have a part of XML as follows:

<results xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" for="XXX">
    <opensearch:Query role="request" searchTerms="XXX" startPage="1"/>
    <opensearch:totalResults>2</opensearch:totalResults>
    <opensearch:startIndex>0</opensearch:startIndex>
    <opensearch:itemsPerPage>50</opensearch:itemsPerPage>
    <albummatches>
        <album>

Is it possible to skip albummatches element and set something like?

    /**
     * @JMS\Type("array<XXX>")
     * @JMS\XmlList(inline=true, entry="albummatches\album")
     * @var XXX[]
     */
    protected $items;

Or I must implement additional class for albummatches to have something like:

class Results
{
    /**
     * @JMS\Type("array<\AlbumCollection>")
     */
    private $albummatches;

    /**
     * @return \AlbumCollection
     */
    public function getAlbummatches()
    {
        return $this->albummatches;
    }
}

/**
 * @JMS\XmlRoot("album")
 */
class AlbumCollection extends ArrayCollection
{
    /**
     * @JMS\Type("array<\Album>")
     * @JMS\XmlList(inline=true, entry="album")
     * @var \Album[]
     */
    protected $items;
}

class Album
{
    // ...
}

Anyway to do that? Or the medium class is still needed for correct work?

sorry for the long feedback loop.
the answer for your question is to use inline=false
