I'm still around - funnily enough betwixt is next on my list of things to do... A couple of things I was going to try attempt in the next few days. (a) use betwixt to generate a Digester for a given bean. e.g. given a PurchaseOrder bean class it should hopefully be possible to either generate a SAX parser or a Digester from the bean <-> XML metadata. Then it'd be possible to autogenerate Digester's (or SAX parsers) from bean classes to read beans from XML. (b) introduce a way of coding XMLBeanInfo classes for JavaBeans in a similar way to writing BeanInfo classes for beans can customize the default XML introspection. (c) devise an XML document as an alternative to the XMLBeanInfo class mechanism to allow easy customization of the XML format of several beans. e.g. if there is a package of beans it might be nice to have a simple XML document where the 'look and feel' of the beans in XML can be customized - e.g. names of properties changed in the XML format, things turned from elements to attributes etc. I was going to try tackle (a) first as it may mean that the expression package might be enhanced to make it easier to go from XML -> bean rather than the other way. If anyone fancies diving into (b) or (c) you're more than welcome. > i've been concentrating on improving the java doc comments (so that i can > really understand how it works). a good start would be to start looking at > the doc comments. see if they make sense to you and see if you can improve > them. if you've got any question please ask - i find i learn a lot by > finding the answers to questions. > > also take a look at the jakarta guidelines for submissions so you know how > to submit patches properly. > > hopefully i'll have a bit more time once logging is sorted out (one way or > another) and we can really get cracking.
