Simone Tripodi commented on DIGESTER-135:
-----------------------------------------
Of course this approach has his known[1] limitations and works for a Digester
subset application cases, btw should/could (IMHO) simplify, even if a little,
the RuleSet startup.
Just to let you know: I started developing it because I was getting "bored" of
instantiating manually all Digester rules, checking XML patterns first, then
checking bean fields, then writing the rules... and since I was parsing a
customer client web service response that, in developing time, was changing
format frequently, I was looking for something that could generate for me
automatically all Digester rules needed reducing the risk to have "out-of-sync"
the XML response with my business object... does it justify, in this scenario,
the presence of such "tool"?
This also to explain that I didn't choice to just add a new feature to an
already well known component, but rather to share a tool that, at least for me,
was helpful and alleviated my daily work ...
Can you provide please an example of builder-like API you mentioned? Do you
mean (in pseudocode) something like
{code}
Digester digester = new DigesterBuilder()
.addObjectCreate("my", MyCustomObject.class)
.addRule("my/pattern", new UserCustomRule())
.createDigester();
{code}
Btw, we could work together on it if you've the pleasere, just let me know!
