Reading XML from REST post request using Springboot

Question

I'm trying to consume XML received via REST webservice using Springboot, I'm new to this so hoping it's fairly trivial mistake I'm making.

I think the XML may be poorly structured but I have the following....


Premier League
2018-08-10
result

    Man Utd
    2
    1
    46.3
    6
    1
    2
    D de Gea
    V Lindelof

But the player details are not being read, I get the following when I do a toString on the data I've received.

ResultDetailsRequestModel(tournament=Premier League, fixture_date=Fri Aug 10 01:00:00 BST 2018, description=result, home_team=TeamResultXML(team_name=Man Utd, score=2, ht_score=1, possession=46.3, shots_on_target=6, shots_off_target=1, corners=2, players=null))

I can get the information when I surround the player tags with

...

but changing the XML has a big impact elsewhere so hoping to fix with XML as is.

My code looks as follows...

@RestController
@RequestMapping("results") // http://localhost:8888/results
public class ResultsController {

    @PostMapping(
            consumes = { MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE },
            produces = { MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE }
    )
    public String createBets(@RequestBody ResultDetailsRequestModel resultDetails) {
        return "Received details: " + resultDetails.toString();
    }
}

@Data
@XmlRootElement(name="ResultDetailsRequestModel")
public class ResultDetailsRequestModel {
    private String tournament;
    private Date fixture_date;
    private String description;
    private TeamResultXML home_team;

}

@Data
@XmlRootElement(name="home_team")
public class TeamResultXML implements Serializable {
    private String team_name;
    private int score;
    private int ht_score;
    private double possession;
    private int shots_on_target;
    private int shots_off_target;
    private int corners;
    @XmlElement(name="player")
    private List players;

}

@Data
@XmlRootElement(name="player")
public class PlayerXML implements Serializable {
    @XmlAttribute(name="gk")
    private boolean goalkeeper;

    @XmlAttribute(name="position")
    private String position;

    @XmlAttribute(name="number")
    private int number;

    @XmlAttribute(name="sub")
    private String sub;

    @XmlValue
    private String value;
}

Data I receive....

ResultDetailsRequestModel(tournament=Premier League, fixture_date=Fri Aug 10 01:00:00 BST 2018, description=result, home_team=TeamResultXML(team_name=Man Utd, score=2, ht_score=1, possession=46.3, shots_on_target=6, shots_off_target=1, corners=2, players=null))

The @Data annotation is project Lombok so creates the getters, setters etc.
