Recently Thomas F. pointed me to Betwixted as a good XML import/export tool. http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/betwixt/ I liked it. But to do what I wanted, it needed a different DTD than Torque currently produces and a <betwixt-config> file to make the XML more readable, typo friendly, and work directly with the OM classes (as opposed to Beans only). Rather than manually creating and try to keep them in sync with my schema, I'm working on some Generator templates that will create a Betwixt Multi
Mapping Document (<betwixt-config>) file ( http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/betwixt/guide/binding.html#Multi_Mappi ng_Document_Format ) and a matching DTD from the Torque Schema XML. These will be tied to the datadtd task and only be done if an optional build property flag is set. This would make it very simple to use Betwixt to import/export data to/from any record object in your schema. Here's a sample of what the generated XML will look like. <!DOCTYPE dataset SYSTEM "bookstore-betwixt.dtd"> <dataset name="bookstore"> <user> <id>1</id> <userName>admin</userName> <password>secret</password> </user> <role> <id>1</id> <name>Admin</name> <userName>admin</userName> </role> </dataset> Is there any interest in including this as a new Torque feature?
