Hi,
I've looked through all the examples I could find on using the Digester and
till now I haven't come across any way or instantiating a specific Bean
class depending on an attribute within the pattern of the element I'm
matching against. To explain what I'm trying to do consider the scenario
below:
--------------
I've the following class structure
class BaseInput {}
class InputTypeX extends BaseInput {}
class InputTypeY extends BaseInput {}
--------------
and the following XML structure
<root>
<input type="X">
...
</input>
<input type="Y">
...
</input>
<input type="X">
...
</input>
</root>
--------------
What I would like to do is during pattern matching, instantiate the correct
bean class depending on the input type. If the input contains the type="X"
then I want to instantiate the bean class "InputTypeX" and so on. Is this
possible with digester when specifying rules within an XML file? I know one
way of doing this would be to rename the <input> element to <input-x> or
<input-y> and instantiate the class based on the element name, but I want to
try and avoid this if possible.
tia,
Martin Maher
