Hi,
Maybe rephrasing the problem makes it clearer:
I'm building an XSP page that calls a Java Helper class which gets the data
in a hierarchical form. What I'd like to know is: what's the best way of
delivering the result to the calling XSP page without having to traverse the
hierarchy twice.
Example:
class MyClass {
public WhichDataType getData() {
<....get data from data source ....>
return result;
}
When I would serialize the result data it could look like this:
<TopElement>
<ID>some id</ID>
<element>
<name>nameOfElement</name>
<value>someValue</value>
</element>
<element>
<name>anotherElement</name>
<element>
<name>aSubElement</name>
<value>this Element's value</value>
</element>
<element>
<name>This could also be nested</name>
<value>just a simple value</value>
</element>
</element>
</TopElement>
The "xml" above is not the data I get from the data source, I have to
manipulate it to make it easier to process in Cocoon. If I do that I might
as well use a datatype that I don't have to manually parse again in XSP to
build the above structure using <xsp:element>?
Does anyone have ideas about the best way to handle this?
I've thought about putting everything in a long String, but I don't know how
to parse the String in XSP to the corresponding XML.
Bye, Helma
