About working with XML files using common Digester

XML now many software use XML as a configuration file, but still very cumbersome to deal with, in the Jakarta Project project, there is a common Digester package can help us deal with XML type of configuration file.

In addition to reading XML configuration files, this software is also ideal for converting XML to JavaBean.
Suppose the XML file is as follows:
<foo name= "The Parent" >
<bar id= "123" title= "the" "The" "The" "the"
<bar id= "456" title= "the Second Child"/>
</foo>

The corresponding JavaBean class is defined as follows:

public class Bar {
private int id;
Private String title;
public int getId () {
return ID;
}
public void setId (int id) {
This.id = ID;
}
Public String GetTitle () {
return title;
}
public void Settitle (String title) {
This.title = title;
}
}
public class Foo {
private String name;
Private vector bars = new vector ();
public void Addbar (bar bar) {
Bars.add (bar);
}
Public Bar findbar (int id) {
Iterator iterator = Bars.iterator ();
if (Iterator.hasnext ()) {
Bar bar = (bar) iterator.next ();
if (bar.getid () = = ID) {
return bar;
}
}
return null;
}
Public iterator Getbars () {
return Bars.iterator ();
}
Public String GetName () {
return name;
}
public void SetName (String name) {
THIS.name = name;
}
}

In later processing, you can convert an XML-described object to a JavaBean object simply by simply processing it.
Digester digester = new Digester ();
Digester.setvalidating (FALSE);
Digester.addobjectcreate (foo, mypackage.) Foo);
Digester.addsetproperties (foo);
Digester.addobjectcreate (Foo/bar, MyPackage. Bar);
Digester.addsetproperties (Foo/bar);
Digester.addsetnext (Foo/bar, Addbar, MyPackage. Bar);
try {
Foo foo = (foo) digester.parse (d:/java/eclipse/workspace/digester/src/mypackage/utils/bar.xml);
System.out.println (foo);
catch (IOException e) {
E.printstacktrace ();
catch (Saxexception e) {
TODO auto-generated Catch block
E.printstacktrace ();
}
