Convert XML to existing Java Bean using reflection (not JAXB)

Question

The goal of the question is the same as in this SO question , except what I'm trying to achieve without using JAXB. But yes, using reflection that uses JAXB.

I try not to use JAXB because I have a predefined bean, and when XML is given, I have to get the appropriate classes and setters to populate the bean.

XML is just a data source, I need to pull out any data needed for a bean.

I tried and succeeded for less complex XML. But failure for complex ones, sort of below.

</Response>

In the above XML array elements: OR, Agent, phone

Here are the relevant beans ...

public class SampleBean {
    private String responseCode;
    private String responseMessage;
    private ArrayList<OR> records;
    private String txnId;
}

public class OR{
    private String txnId;
    private String orderNumber;
    private String numberOfAgents;
    private ArrayList<Agent> otherAgents;
}

public class Agent {
    private String agentName;
    private String agentId;
    private ArrayList<Phone> agentPhoneDetails;
}

public class Phone {
    private String agentPhoneNumber;
    private String agentPhoneNetwork;
}
