Hi,
I already write something like that... it was for xml-rpc 2.x.y, but maybe
it can help...
import java.lang.reflect.Array;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Vector;
public class XmlRpcResponse {
private Object response;
private SimpleDateFormat dateFormat;
public XmlRpcResponse(Object response) {
this.response = response;
dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss");
}
public String generateXml() {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("<?xml version='1.0'?>\n");
sb.append("<response>");
generateXml(sb, response);
sb.append("</response>");
return sb.toString();
}
private void generateXml(StringBuilder sb, Object resp) {
if (resp instanceof String) {
String str = (String) resp;
sb.append(str);
return;
}
if (resp instanceof Integer) {
Integer i = (Integer) resp;
sb.append(i.toString());
return;
}
if (resp instanceof Date) {
Date date = (Date) resp;
sb.append(dateFormat.format(date));
return;
}
if (resp instanceof List) {
List list = (List) resp;
sb.append("<array>");
for (Object item : list) {
sb.append("<item>");
generateXml(sb, item);
sb.append("</item>");
}
sb.append("</array>");
return;
}
if (resp instanceof Object[]) {
Object[] list = (Object[]) resp;
sb.append("<array>");
for (Object item : list) {
sb.append("<item>");
generateXml(sb, item);
sb.append("</item>");
}
sb.append("</array>");
return;
}
if (resp instanceof Vector) {
Vector list = (Vector) resp;
sb.append("<array>");
for (Object item : list) {
sb.append("<item>");
generateXml(sb, item);
sb.append("</item>");
}
sb.append("</array>");
return;
}
if (resp instanceof Map) {
Map<String, Object> map = (Map) resp;
sb.append("<struct>");
for (String key : map.keySet()) {
sb.append("<member name=\"");
sb.append(key);
sb.append("\">");
Object value = map.get(key);
generateXml(sb, value);
sb.append("</member>");
}
sb.append("</struct>");
return;
}
}
public static List decodeList(Object element) {
if (element == null) {
return null;
}
if (element instanceof List) {
return (List) element;
}
if (element.getClass().isArray()) {
int length = Array.getLength(element);
LinkedList result = new LinkedList();
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
result.add(Array.get(element, i));
}
return result;
}
return null;
}
}
