I am quite new to XmlBeans, but I have been playing around for some weeks. What I need to do is to produce xml documents by getting users to fill in html forms. Solution is based on Tomcat, Java servlets, Velocity and Spring.
My naive approach is to use a simple model-view-controller pattern where the controller takes the HttpRequest.parameterMap and an XmlObject class, use reflection and makes an instance of the XmlObject. This is not hard, but a little bit involved because String properties are handled differently from other properties. (I.e. xsetXXX and xgetXXX to get real XmlSimpleType objects whereas non-String objects use getXXX, setXXX and addNewXXX.) The other way around, i.e. for the model, I have a generic class XmlModel to make it easy for Velocity to extract presentation information and validation information from XmlObjects and into html pages. By the use of reflection my object is populated with all XmlSimpleType properties from an XmlObject object. A few questions: 1. Has anyone here done something similar? 2. Are there any obvious tools I that I have overseen? 2. Is my approach otherwise sensible? -- Jon Haugsand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
