Thanks Simon! I used your example from jakarta-commons/digester/src/examples/api/catalog/CatalogDigester.java where you use the ExtendedBaseRules(), works like a charm.

When the newest release comes out, I'll convert over to the NestedPropertiesRule.

Thanks again!

Craig.

The default Rules object (which decides which rules are matched by the
current xml element) supports *leading* wildcards but not *trailing*
wildcards, ie "*/foo" works,  "foo/*" does not.

The ExtendedBaseRules class does support trailing wildcards (but is less
efficient than the default implementation). See the examples directory
in CVS for a demonstration of how to use this.

The SetNestedPropertiesRule can also be used to do what you want, but as
this has been added since the last release you will need to use a recent
CVS snapshot of Digester if you want this rule.

Digester is hopefully having a new release soon (in the next month?), at
which point both the examples and the SetNestedPropertiesRule will be in
the main release.

Regards,

Simon
