Re: [betwixt] general confusion about BeanReader

[robert burrell donkin]

the new j2ee sdk includes betwixt? i suppose that it's nice to be wanted 
but i'd have hoped that sun would have realized that betwixt is an alpha 
for a reason...

It turns out that the problem was unrelated to betwixt.  I had j2ee.jar 
from the latest j2ee sdk in my classpath, which includes its own digester,
 beanutils, and betwixt classes.  I was trying to use the latest version,
 but the j2ee classes must have taken precedence.

What a weird problem!  Thanks for your help anyways.

I've spent the entire day attempting to read a bean with betwixt... 
I've run out of ideas.

For example, if my bean is named Person:

class Person {
    String getName()
    setName(String)
}
I've tried:

BeanReader.registerBeanClass(Person.class)
BeanReader.registerBeanClass("Person", Person.class)
But BeanReader.parse() still returns null.

Here are some questions:

1) Can XML written from a BeanWriter be parsed by a BeanReader without 
the use of .betwixt files?  Since I didn't change any of the 
configuration, I assumed that both could read and write easily, but 
this isn't happening.
yes. betwixt should work in a reasonable manner without a .betwixt file.
2) Is it necessary to register every bean before calling 
BeanReader.parse(
)?  In other words, if I have nested beans, do I need to register all 
of them or just the root?
you should just have to register the root of the graph.
The documentation is helpful, but I seem to be missing something.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
are you using the alpha release or the latest code?
it would also help if you could supply an example of the xml document 
you'
re trying to parse.
