Re: Generating XML
Thank you both for your assistance. I will attempt to use the XStream library first, but the XML is not intended to to be parsed and objects re-built from it; rather the information will be used by another system. Thus, it depends how much I can customise the XStream output to suit the desired XML format. Karim, upon investigating the JAXB framework I discovered that this is the standard practise in the company I work for(student internship, hence why I was unaware) but as I have stated the simplicity of the objects and resulting XML may suit a simpler method. I had never considered manipulating the toString methods to my advantage, so if XStream does not suit then this is the path I will take.

Re: Generating XML
Hi Gary,
I understand that you want to do. From a java object, you want to produce
XML representation.
Ok, you have many framewoks that do this for you.
The 2 solutions i propose to you :
1) Use a standard way ( good practice and a framework support )
Let see JAXB API on Oracle web site because it's a standard way ( JSR
recommendation if i remember )
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/index-140168.html.
This operation is called Marshaling e.g transforming a java object in xml.
With JAXB you can fine tune the operation.
Download JAXB and its javadoc, set your Eclipse project to add relative
*.jar and javadoc. Then code
2) If you feel that it's a heavy for what you want to do, just override the
toString() method of your java class, in order to produce xml. Here's a very
simple exemple :
class Personn
{
private String firstName, lastName;
.../... constructor(s), getters, setters, methods omitted .../
@override
public string toString()
{
// you can get class fields using introspection if you want to automate the
process
return firstName + firstName + /firstName + lastName + lastName
+ /lastName;
}
}
I hope it helps.
Regards.

Part of my application requires an XML file to be generated from an
object. The XML produced will be small in size and simple in
structure. I could achieve this using elaborate string manipulation
but I suspect there is a better way.
I tried to use the xmlenc (http://xmlenc.sourceforge.net/) library,
but it requires Writer objects to function, which GWT does not
support. Is there an accepted way of XML generation for GWT? Or
perhaps a way to synthesise Writer objects? Initially, I want the XML
output on the console for testing, but eventually it will be stored on
a server/database.
Thanks,
Gary

Re: Generating XML
Hi Darth, Use the Xstream library,http://xstream.codehaus.org/ its a library that serialises objects to xml and back from xml. use the toXML method and pass it the object.
