Hello,
since a while I'm considering the implementation of a reader for log-like file formats, that is, for files that are xml up to a header and footer. We use these in our ActiveMath system, typically, as log files, where each new log entry is output as a new element.
<loglike:parse url="a.xml" var="iterator"> <loglike:header><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "../dtd/xx.dtd"> <root>]]></loglike:header> <loglike:footer><![CDATA[</root>]]></loglike:footer> </loglike:parse> <j:forEach items="${iterator}" var="elt"> <!-- do someting with ${elt} which would be a dom4j.Element probably --> </j:forEach> Would anyone else take advantage of such parsing tags ?It has the strong advantage of being streamed (these log files are easily enormous) and still let jelly's ease of xml manipulations and filtering.
