I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but with Digester you can setup a call-method-rule with parameters. So, if you have: <entry key="k" value="v"/> you could setup Digester to call the put() method on a map passing in k and v. You can also do this with nested elements under <entry> instead of attributes.
