Hi.
We want to parase a xml file into corresponding objects via digester. Here
is our idea:
Lets say, we have a object CAR wich has several "Sub" Object, e.g.
FUELTYPE and ENGINE etc.
CAR
|
|- FUELTYPE
| |- TYPE 1
| |- TYPE 2
|
|- ENGINE
| |- 2 LITRE
| |- 2.2 LITRE
We want to define a digester ruleset (XML) for each object, so that car
has a ruleset which passes all content of element FUELTYPE to the
digesterRuleset for the FUELTYPE object. We imagine such thing as a
similar ruleset:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<digester-rules>
<pattern value="CAR">
<object-create-rule classname="Car" />
<call-method-rule pattern="abc" methodname="setABC" paramcount="0"/>
<"WHATEVER COMES HERE ELEMENT" methodname="fromXML"
object-name="FUELTYPE" />
<"WHATEVER COMES HERE ELEMENT" methodname="fromXML"
object-name="ENGINE" />
</pattern>
</digester-rules>
Result is a complete CAR object containing a FUELTYPE object and a ENGINE
object. Where each Object and Subobject has its own fromXML routines
configurable via a digester ruleset in XML.
Is this possible and if so, how?
THX
