I'm using digester to parse data files and do a db update with the
data. I need to associate the db column name and type with each data
item. I drive this process with a setup file of the form: pattern
db_col_name db_col_type
This file is read in and each line is used to create a DataItem object
with pattern, name and type. The data will be obtained by digester
public DataItem {
String pattern;
String name ;
String type ;
String data ;
I loop over a list of DataItems to set up the digester to create an
ArrayList of DataItems:
digester.addObjectCreate(start_pattern, ArrayList.class);
for ( DataItem d: DataItemList ){
digester.addObjectCreate(d.getPattern(), DataItem.class); // push a
DataItem
digester.addBeanPropertySetter(d.getPattern(), "data"); // call
DataItem.setData() passing the value matched by the pattern
digester.addSetNext(d.getPattern(), "add"); // add this DataItem to
the List
}
What I would like to do is set the name and type attributes of the
DataItem class that I'm pushing onto the digester stack. However, all
setProperty and addCall methods are pattern based and ObjectCreate uses
the default constructor.
Does digester provide a way to do what I want?
