Also, does the plugin class need to implement a specific class? It doesn't look that way in the examples, and there doesn't appear to be any way to get the Digester to call a specific method in the plugin class.
I have the feeling I have misunderstood something here.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Carman Sent: 29 June 2007 11:59 To: Jakarta Commons Users List Subject: Re: Attribute question for Commons Digester Yeah, I didn't notice the "_" (or read the rest of the request). You'll need a custom rule here to convert that value, otherwise SetProperties would work (and you don't need to specify "id"/"id" because it'll match the properties to the attributes if they match exactly). Why the underscore anyway?
