Hi,
I want to do the following, would like to understand if it is possible
at all before proceeding any further.
basically i am working on generating dynamic screens based on Apache
XmlBeans generated classes.
While the following is not exactly what i am doing, it will help drive
the idea home...
i have a number of XSD files for which i generate XmlBeans binding
files. All these classes are basically of type XmlObject.
Understandably, each class would have diffferent setters and getters
based on the XSD. In my action class, i want to declare a property with
just the underlying interface (i.e. XmlObject). I am in a position to
generate the dynamic screen based on the XML schema... but how do i
populate those back to my XmlObject property?
for e.g. Action class has
XmlObject xmlObject;
public XmlObject getXmlObject() {
// snip...
}
public void setXmlObject(XmlObject xmlObject) {
// snip...
}
Suppose i am dealing with a XML with a structure such as
<TopLevel>
<SecondLevel>
<ThirdLevel>
<SecondLevelMore>
<ThirdLevel>
Let us assume my schema based XmlObject classes will have the same names
as node names. So TopLevel *is a* XmlObject.
I want to set values from a HTML form using a OGNL expression....
xmlObject.secondLevel.thirdLevel
xmlObject.secondLevelMore.thirdLevel
Obviously, OGNL runtime cannot find setSecondLevel() on xmlObject unless
it has a way of casting it to *TopLevel*
I have been researching a solution to this problem for a long time.,, I
found something on TypeConvertors, havent tried it yet and honestly not
able to tell if it is a solution to my problem :-)
Can someone help me with this? Am i asking for too much or is this
actually possible?? If it *is* possible, will it execute with
reasonable performance?
Any response will be greatly appreciated so that i can atleast take an
alternative approach immediately.
regards
ajaneesh
