Thanks Simon,

I will wait for sometime when the ObjectParamRule can be invoked from xmlrules.

For time being, I found a work around for that. I made 2 category classes Film and Literature which are extending my base class Content. In the constructor (no arg) of Film and Literature, I am setting the category of Content to Film/Literature. And in rules.xml, Insteading of instantiating the Content class, now i am instantiating Film/Literature class. That works fine till now :-) But yah, it is hardcoding and not a permanent solution.

Thanks again,
Pankaj

Hi Kumar,


The ObjectParamRule can't currently be invoked from xmlrules, nor can
the PathCallParamRule.

A patch for ObjectParamRule support in xmlrules has been submitted on
the development email list, but the Digester maintainers haven't yet
evaluated it.

So you could search the dev list for that email and compile the attached
code yourself. Or if you can wait 1-2 weeks, I think the odds are fairly
good that one of the maintainers will have committed the patch by then;
at that point you could use a nightly snapshot of Digester.

If xmlrules allows you to invoke FactoryCreateRule to create your class
instance, then you could implement a factory class which creates your
object and then passes the appropriate value for the "content" attribute
of your object.

Or you could change to using the digester API (rather than xmlrules)
until this is sorted out.

Regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Do you know the equivalent of ObjectParamRule that can be specified in the Digester Rules XML (i mean via). Is it a sub element under <call-method-rule> element ? Do i have to download the new digester version, i have 1.5 version.

Sorry for so many questions. i am rookie in Digester

thanks,
Pankaj

Hi Kumar,



You can use the ObjectParamRule to pass literal strings (or other objects) to methods.

There is also a PathCallParamRule class in CVS, but it was added since
the last release so you would need to download it from CVS.

Hi Gurus,

I have been totally stumped by this.
I want to set a property in Java bean based on the pattern (it does not have any attributes)
Following is my simple XML


             <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
             <content>
                        <Film>
                                <Keyword>Tom Cruise</Keyword>
                                <Headline>
                                        <TextTitleHi>Mission Impossible</TextTitleHi>
                                </Headline>
                        </Film>
                        <Literature>
                                <Keyword>Vikram Seth</Keyword>
                                <Headline>
                                        <TextTitleHi>Principles of Life</TextTitleHi>
                                </Headline>
                        </Literature>
                </content>


For this, i want to create a single Java object named Content and set the propoerty called category to Film when it comes to Film pattern. Now, I have not been able to use either <set-properties-rule> or <call-method-rule> because none of them can pass the pattern name as parameters to the methods.


Thanks in Advance,
Pankaj
