RE: Digester beginner question

[Lance Semmens]

I can't think of an existing rule that will help you.
How's this?? (NB i have not tested but you should get the idea).

digester.addRule("class/student/attribute" new Rule() {
        private String fieldName;
        public void begin(Attributes atts) throws Exception {
                fieldName = atts.getValue("name");
        }
        public void body(String text) throws Exception {
                Object o = getDigester().peek();
                Field field = o.getClass().getField(fieldName);
                field.set(o, text);
        }
}

I tried using the XPath notation as shown, but that does not work.

Digester digester = new Digester();
digester.addObjectCreate("class", Student.class);
digester.addBeanPropertySetter("class/student/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'id']",
"id");
digester.addBeanPropertySetter("class/student/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'name']",
"name");

But that does not seem to work.

I have the following XML.
<class>
        <student>
                <attribute name="id">10</attribute>
                <attribute name="name">Mark</attribute>
        </student>
        <student>
                <attribute name="id">11</attribute>
                <attribute name="name">Mary</attribute>
        </student>

</class>

public class Student{
        String id;
        String name;
}

How do I write use Commons Digester to set the properties id and name of
the class Student?

I cannot change the structure of XML.

Thank you
