[Digester] Question about digester rules

[Adrian Mitev]

Hi all. I got the following XML

<regex-validators>
<regex-validator>
       <type>digitField</type>
       <expression>\d+</expression>
       <messags>
         <message>
           <local>en</local>
           <text>Only digit values are allowed</text>
         </message>
       </messags>
</regex-validator>
</regex-validators>

Here is my bean

public class RegexValidatorType {

   private String expression;

   private HashMap messages;

   private String type;

   //getters and settters here
........
}

I want to strore All regex-validators in ArrayList of RegexType bean and to
store the messages in HashMap with key <local> and value <text>. How to do
that inserting in the map with digester?


This is my code without the messages mapping:

digester.addObjectCreate("regex-validators", ArrayList.class);
digester.addObjectCreate("regex-validators/regex-validator",
RegexValidatorType.class);
digester.addBeanPropertySetter("regex-validators/regex-validator/type",
"type");
digester.addBeanPropertySetter("regex-validators/regex-validator/expression",
"expression");
digester.addSetNext("regex-validators/regex-validator", "add");
