Hi, all. I'd like to make a proposal for an addition to Digester (Struts 1.1) to allow the setting of tag attribute methods. Essentially, I want to be able to have XML like this: <project> <element name="element1" some-key="key1" another-key="key2"> <child-elements> ... where some-key maps to get/setSomeKey and another-key maps to get/setAnotherKey. As I understand Digester now, attribute names may not use hyphens since that would make them illegal getter/setter function names. I have two ideas on how to perform this: 1. Check attribute names for hyphens (-), remove them, and convert the next character to upper case before calling introspection. 2. Add a method to allow mapping /project/element@some-key and /project/element@another-key to their respective getter/setters. (The use of "@" means that it's an attribute of /project/element, as is done in XQL. Wild cards done similar to XQL (two "//" instead of "*/") for defining an element might be another point to consider.) A depate about using attributes as opposed to sub-elements aside, might this be a desired addition for others using Digester? -- Michael Westbay Work: Beacon-IT http://www.beacon-it.co.jp/ Home: http://www.seaple.icc.ne.jp/~westbay Commentary: http://www.japanesebaseball.com/
