Handle xml with duplicate xpath
-------------------------------
Key: DIGESTER-129
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIGESTER-129
Project: Commons Digester
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Calvin R Smith
Priority: Minor
I have an xml file where I want the same xpath pattern to goto different objects
ie:
<pattern value="abc">
<object-create-rule classname="def" />
<set-next-rule methodname="add" />
<bean-property-setter-rule pattern="def" propertyname="def" />
</pattern>
<pattern value="abc">
<object-create-rule classname="xyz" />
<set-next-rule methodname="add" />
<bean-property-setter-rule pattern="xyz" propertyname="xyz" />
</pattern>
Currently digester will collapse this like so:
<pattern value="abc">
<object-create-rule classname="def" />
<object-create-rule classname="xyz" />
<set-next-rule methodname="add" />
<set-next-rule methodname="add" />
<bean-property-setter-rule pattern="def" propertyname="def" />
<bean-property-setter-rule pattern="xyz" propertyname="xyz" />
</pattern>
making this impossible.
My current work-around is to expose the parent count property so I have:
<pattern value="abc">
<object-create-rule classname="def" />
<set-next-rule methodname="add" />
<bean-property-setter-rule pattern="def" propertyname="def"
parentcount="1" />
</pattern>
<pattern value="abc">
<object-create-rule classname="xyz" />
<set-next-rule methodname="add" parentcount="2" />
<bean-property-setter-rule pattern="xyz" propertyname="xyz" />
</pattern>
I can submit a path for this or we can discuss more cleaner solutions
