Digester getting recursive tag types.

[Simon Kelly]

Hi all,

I am trying to load a set of beans using the Digester.  One of the beans
(Menu) will contain beans of the same type within.  The basic layout of a
page follows with what I think is the correct way of dragging in recursive
tags (IE SubMenu is of type Menu).  Can anyone verify if this is even in the
right ball park?

Cheers

Simon.

PS
I can't run it yet cause I'm only part way through workig out how to extract
it all afterwards.

[File sample]
<WebPage>
  <Project>
    <Title/>
    <Version/>
    <Date/>
  </Project>
  <Menu>
    <Name/>
    <SubMenu>
      <Name/>
      <SubMenu/>
      <SubMenu/>
    </SubMenu>
  </Menu>
  <Frame/>
</WebPage>


[Code]
public static ActionForm createWebPageForm(String webPageResourcePath) {
        //Get the resource doc by webPageResourcePath
        InputStream xmlStream =
this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(webPageResourcePath);

        //Load FrontForm bean from the sitepage.xml config file.
        Digester digester = new Digester();
        digester.setValidating(false);

        digester.setRules(new ExtendedBaseRules());

        //Load digester with rules
        digester.addObjectCreate("WebPage", WebPage.class);

        digester.addObjectCreate("WebPage/Project", Project.class);
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Project/Title", "Title");
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Project/Image", "Image");
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Project/Icon", "Icon");
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Project/Version",
"Vesrion");
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Project/Date", "Date");
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Project/Home", "Home");
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Project/Address",
"Address");
        digester.addSetNext("WebPage/Project", "addProject");

        digester.addObjectCreate("WebPage/Menu", Meun.class);
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Meunu/*/Name", "Name");
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Menu/*/MenuItem",
"MenuItem");
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Menu/*/MenuReference",
"MenuReference");
        digester.addObjectCreate("WebPage/Menu/*/SubMenu", "SubMenu",
Menu.class);
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Menu/*/SubMenu/Name",
"Name");
        digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Menu/*/SubMenu/MenuItem",
"MenuItem");

digester.addBeanPropertySetter("WebPage/Menu/*/SubMenu/MenuReference",
"MenuReference");
        digester.addSetNext("WebPage/Menu/*/SubMenu", "addSubMenu");
        digester.addSetNext("WebPage/Menu", "addMenu");

        digester.addObjectCreate("WebPage/Frame", Frame.class);
        digester.addSetNext("WebPage/Frame", "addFrame");

        //Create the form from file
        return (WebPage)digester.parse(xmlStream);
    }
