It looks like our InfosetOutputter API isn't very Java friendly, at
least once you start needing to get information out of the ERD. I'd open
a ticket, but it looks like JIRA is down at the moment.
I think the way to fix your issue is to just use straight reference
equality comparison with NodeInfo.String(), e.g.:
if (simple.erd().optPrimType().get() == NodeInfo.String()) { ... }
The instance that NodeInfo.String() returns is essentially a singleton
to represent DFDL String primitives, which is also what is returned from
optPrimtType().get().
I'm not sure why our InfosetOutputter uses isInstanceOf[String.Kind]
instead of just using reference equality with NodeInfo.String. Might
have been old code that never got updated...

We're having trouble coming up with a Java equivalent for the
StartSimple() method code:
if
(simple.erd.optPrimType.get.isInstanceOf[NodeInfo.String.Kind]) {
We've tried the following with no luck:
if (simple.erd().optPrimType().get() instanceof
NodeInfo.String().Kind) {
and
if
(simple.erd().optPrimType().get().isInstanceOf(NodeInfo.String().???)) {
Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

That's sad to hear, and I hope you can try to persuade your company to change
this position. Opensource works best with many contributors from many different
organizations. And if your company depends on Daffodil, contributing back to it
can help ensure its success and continued growth.

If you're using the CLI, this is correct. Infoset inputters and outputters must
currently be hardcoded in. If you're using the API to invoke Daffodil this
isn't a problem, but if you're using the CLI then you must modify the CLI to
support your new classes. This hasn't been an issue so far since anytime a new
one is needed we just added it to Daffodil.
Part of the reason for this is that creating InfosetInputters/Outputters and
getting the result is very specific to the infoset representation.
It's probably possible that the API could be made more generic, and then we
could use a ServiceLoader or something to support pluggable infoset
inputters/outputters, but that hasn't be a priority so far.

Hi Steve,
I have been looking into your suggestions and researching the existing

Is where I'm at:
- Contributing to Daffodil is likely not an option for my company.
- I've been looking into XMLTextInfosetInputter and
ScalaXMLInfosetOutputter for insight.
What I don't understand (Java and Scala newby) is, having extended
InfosetOutputter with a new class,
the Daffodil parse operation magically has access to this new class.
I see, in main.scala, where
XMLTextInfosetOutputter and ScalaXMLInfosetOutputter are
instantiated based on command line
Input for infoset type. Based on my limited understanding, this
seems to suggest that I would have
To add another infoset type to make use of the new class.
Can someone clear up my misunderstanding or point to some info that
will cause the scales to fall
From my eyes?
Thank you for your time,

I've put a decent amount of thought into this issue, I'll add some additional
info that might help out...

The InfosetOutputter class is an abstract class with no default
implementations, so an implementation of all functions, including startSimple,
is required--InfosetInputters don't do anything by default.
The InfosetOutputters that are bundled with Daffodil implement all of these
functions to create the kind of infoset that is output (e.g. XML text, Scala
Nodes, JSON). If you want to take a look at how our bundled implementations
handle their logic, they are all in this folder:
https://github.com/apache/daffodil/tree/main/daffodil-runtime1/src/mai
n/scala/org/apache/daffodil/infoset
If you plan to keep your InfosetOutputter outside of the Daffodil codebase,
you'll need to implement all of the functions/logic yourself.
Our current implementions are mostly private, so extending and overriding them
to do you you want is likely not possible.
A good place to start would be to pick one that that's close to what you want
and modify the various functions as described in the example implementation in
the runtime properties proposal:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Proposal%3A+Runti
me+Properties
Alternatively, it might be easier to just add the support to our existing
bundled InfosetOutputters to support this capability, and contribute that work
to Daffodil. Not only will this probably be easier since you can reuse alot of
the existing logic, but our ability to provide support greatly increases when
it's related to things being added to Daffodil. This feature is a request we've
seen multiple times--it would be a very welcome addition and we'd be happy help
get it added to Daffodil.

There definitely are javadoc jars, and the javadoc is also online

The source and javadoc jars are normally pulled down using maven or

For example for the daffodil-runtime1 jar, all the jars, compiled
