             Summary: Adding SetLeaf Rule
                 Key: DIGESTER-177
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIGESTER-177
             Project: Commons Digester
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.2
         Environment: Microsoft Windows 7 x32
            Reporter: BRABANT Benjamin
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.3


Hello,

I would like to suggest a new minor functionality that is missing to my mind in 
the digester project. Indeed, it is possible by default to :
* call a method on the (top) object passing the (top-1) object as an argument 
[SetTop method]
* call a method on the (top-1) object passing the (top) object as an argument 
[SetNext method]
* call a method on the (root) object passing the (top) object as an argument 
[SetRoot method]

To follow this sequence, I think it could be interesting that digester offers 
by default the possibility of calling a method on the (top) object passing the 
(root) object as an argument [the new SetLeaf method] !

>From this perspective, I attached you my patch that provides this 
>functionality and a TestCase to check it. I am also writing TestCases for 
>annotation, binder and xmlrules for which I will attach patches as soon as 
>possible.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
