Ok, cool. Though is it possible for these attributes to be classes?
Not quite sure what you mean - do you want something like setFooClass(Class fooClass)? Anyway its not something I've tried by AFAIK the set properties rule in Digester uses BeanUtils.populate() - which uses any registered Converters - there is one for "Class" - so the above setFooClass(Class) example should work with the String value specified in your XML being converted to a Class. Best way with these types of things is always to give it a go and see what happens. Niall
