How to map the following xml uisng digester

[Rashid Jilani]

Hi: gurus I have the following xml file that I like to map to Java objects
but don't know the right approach after just reading the Digester  document

 

<eSummaryResult>

<DocSum>

            <Id>27731</Id>

            <Item Name="Title" Type="String">The American journal of
obstetrics and diseases of women and children</Item>

            <Item Name="MedAbbr" Type="String">Am J Obstet Dis Women
Child</Item>

            <Item Name="IsoAbbr" Type="String"></Item>

            <Item Name="NlmId" Type="String">14820330R</Item>

 

            <Item Name="pISSN" Type="String">0894-5543</Item>

            <Item Name="eISSN" Type="String"></Item>

            <Item Name="PublicationStartYear" Type="String">1868</Item>

            <Item Name="PublicationEndYear" Type="String">1919</Item>

            <Item Name="Publisher" Type="String">W.A. Townsend &amp;
Adams,</Item>

            <Item Name="Language" Type="String">eng</Item>

 

            <Item Name="Country" Type="String">United States</Item>

            <Item Name="BroadHeading" Type="List"></Item>

            <Item Name="ContinuationNotes" Type="String"></Item>

</DocSum>

 

 

 

</eSummaryResult>

 

My objects are 

 

public class DocumentSummary implements Serializable {

 

    private long id = 0;

    private List<Item> listItems = null;

 

 // Omitted Setter and getters for Brevity

 

}

 

public class Item implements Serializable{

    private String name;

    private String type;

    private String value;

 

// Omitted Setter and getters for Brevity

 

    

 

}

 

Here is my rules file, but I got stuck after parsing the "Id" tag and don't
know how to proceed further, any help would be appreciated.

 

<digester-rules>

 

  <pattern value="eSummaryResult/DocSum">

 

    <object-create-rule classname="digesterexample.DocumentSummary"/>

     

 

    <set-next-rule methodname="add"
paramtype="digesterexample.DocumentSummary"/>

 

    <set-properties-rule/>

 

    <bean-property-setter-rule pattern="Id" propertyname="id"/>

 

     <set-properties-rule/>

   

 

   

 

  </pattern>

 

Thanks,

RJ
