By reading the smooks documentation (http://www.smooks.org/documentation/documentation-smooks-1-1-x/structured-data-event-stream-processing-with-smooks-v1-1) I have discovered that it is possible to bind csv to POJO.
Here is an example : <?xml version="1.0"?> <smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd"; xmlns:jb="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/javabean-1.1.xsd";> <csv:reader fields="firstname,lastname,gender,age,country" separator="|" quote="'" skipLines="1" /> <jb:bindings beanId="customerList" class="java.util.ArrayList" createOnElement="csv-set"> <jb:wiring beanIdRef="customer" /> </jb:bindings> <jb:bindings beanId="customer" class="com.acme.Customer" createOnElement="csv-record"> <jb:value property="firstName" data="csv-record/firstName" /> <jb:value property="lastName" data="csv-record/lastName" /> <jb:value property="gender" data="csv-record/gender" decoder="Enum" > <jb:decodeParam name="enumType">com.acme.Gender</jb:decodeParam> </jb:value> <jb:value property="age" data="csv-record/age" decoder="Integer" /> </jb:bindings> </smooks-resource-list> I try to test this to see how I can extract the POJO because the result coming from smooks.filter(inputstream, result, executioncontext) method is of type : - DOMResult, - SAXResult, - StreamResult Remark : The only regret that I have is that everything is mapped by Smooks in SAXEvents or DOMEvents. So additional step is required to handle the result (when this is not XML). I think that it is time to create a project JAnXB (Java Api for non XML binding) using the same concept as JAXB2 to bind data with POJO using annotations.
