Q:

StAX and arraylist java

I'm trying to read an xml document with StAX but I have a little problem and i don't know how to fix it, I've tried to look for over internet (maybe i'm using the wrong key word for my problem :/)
so I've this XML:
<questionReponses
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xmlns='http://polytis.fr/studentest'
xsi:schemaLocation='http://polytis.fr/studentest qanda.xsd'>
<questionReponse>
    <categorie>Biologie</categorie>
    <question>Question 1</question>
    <reponse>reponse correcte 1</reponse>
    <mauvaiseReponse>reponse fausse 1.1</mauvaiseReponse>
    <mauvaiseReponse>reponse fausse 1.2</mauvaiseReponse>
    <mauvaiseReponse>reponse fausse 1.3</mauvaiseReponse>
</questionReponse>
<questionReponse>
    <categorie>Chimie</categorie>
    <question>Question 2</question>
    <reponse>reponse correcte 2</reponse>
    <mauvaiseReponse>reponse fausse 2.1</mauvaiseReponse>
    <mauvaiseReponse>reponse fausse 2.2</mauvaiseReponse>
    <mauvaiseReponse>reponse fausse 2.3</mauvaiseReponse>
</questionReponse>
<questionReponse>
    <categorie>CultureG</categorie>
    <question>Question 3</question>
    <reponse>reponse correcte 3</reponse>
    <mauvaiseReponse>reponse fausse 3.1</mauvaiseReponse>
    <mauvaiseReponse>reponse fausse 3.2</mauvaiseReponse>
    <mauvaiseReponse>reponse fausse 3.3</mauvaiseReponse>
</questionReponse>

here is my parser:
try {
        // instanciation du parser
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(nomFichier);
        XMLInputFactory factory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
        XMLStreamReader parser = factory.createXMLStreamReader(in);

        // lecture des evenements
        for (int event = parser.next(); event != XMLStreamConstants.END_DOCUMENT; event = parser.next()) {
            // traitement selon l'evenement
            switch (event) {
                case XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT:
                    break;
                case XMLStreamConstants.END_ELEMENT:
                    if (parser.getLocalName().equals("questionReponse")) {
                        question = new Question(categorieCourante,questionCourante,bonneReponseCourante,mauvaisesReponses);
                        quizz.add(question);
                    }               
                    if (parser.getLocalName().equals("categorie")) {
                        categorieCourante = donneesCourantes;
                    }
                    if (parser.getLocalName().equals("question")) {
                        questionCourante = donneesCourantes;
                    }
                    if (parser.getLocalName().equals("reponse")) {
                        bonneReponseCourante = donneesCourantes;
                    }
                    if (parser.getLocalName().equals("mauvaiseReponse")) {
                        mauvaisesReponses.add(donneesCourantes);
                    }
                    break;
                case XMLStreamConstants.CHARACTERS:
                    donneesCourantes = parser.getText();
                    break;
            } // end switch
        } // end for
        parser.close();
    }

and the result is not the one expected:
question 1
[categorie = 
Biologie
question = 
Question 1
bonne reponse = 
reponse correcte 1
mauvaises reponse = 
reponse fausse 1.1
reponse fausse 1.2
reponse fausse 1.3
reponse fausse 2.1
reponse fausse 2.2
reponse fausse 2.3
reponse fausse 3.1
reponse fausse 3.2
reponse fausse 3.3

, categorie = 
Chimie
question = 
Question 2
bonne reponse = 
reponse correcte 2
mauvaises reponse = 
reponse fausse 1.1
reponse fausse 1.2
reponse fausse 1.3
reponse fausse 2.1
reponse fausse 2.2
reponse fausse 2.3
reponse fausse 3.1
reponse fausse 3.2
reponse fausse 3.3

, categorie = 
CultureG
question = 
Question 3
bonne reponse = 
reponse correcte 3
mauvaises reponse = 
reponse fausse 1.1
reponse fausse 1.2
reponse fausse 1.3
reponse fausse 2.1
reponse fausse 2.2
reponse fausse 2.3
reponse fausse 3.1
reponse fausse 3.2
reponse fausse 3.3

]

and it's the same for the 3 question i have. When i parse "mauvaiseReponse" all the the "mauvaiseReponse" balise are streamed and added.
the result i'm looking for is something like this:
question 1
categorie = 
Biologie
question = 
Question 1
bonne reponse = 
reponse correcte 1
mauvaises reponse = 
reponse fausse 1.1
reponse fausse 1.2
reponse fausse 1.3

i'm sorry if my english isn't that good, i hope you will undestand my problem and can help me with this

A:

Explanation
Simply, you must renew your badAnswers (mauvaisesReponses) list on each completed Question instance.
I've written a sample code for the provided input xml file. For simplicity, I've created the Question class in the same file with solution;
    // A - first instantiation of badAnswers list
    List<String> badAnswers = new LinkedList<>();
    for (int event = parser.next(); event != XMLStreamConstants.END_DOCUMENT; event = parser.next()) {

        switch (event) {
            case XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT:
                break;

            case XMLStreamConstants.END_ELEMENT:
                if (parser.getLocalName().equals("questionReponse")) {
                    Question question = new Question(currentCategory, currentQuestion, currentRightAnswer, badAnswers);
                    quiz.add(question);
                    // B - Renew badAnswers after each Question entry insert
                    badAnswers = new LinkedList<>();    
                }   

Please also note that I've used LinkedList implementation here to demonstrate that your problem is not related to the List implementation, it is implementation-agnostic.
