Betwixt - Strings set to null strings when reading a Collection of strings

[David Gough <Da...@leeds.orange.co.uk>]

I have been trying to get Betwixt to read/write my java classes and have
run into a problem with read Collections of Strings.

 

Included is a very simple test to write out a collection of strings to a
file and read them back. The output is fine, but when I read the Strings
back, they are set to "null". Am I doing something wrong. I have scoured
the docs and can't see a problem.

 

Here's the class I am I am testing with

 

import java.util.ArrayList;

import java.util.List;

 

 

public class TestStrings {

    

    List testStrings = new ArrayList();

    

    

    /** Creates a new instance of TestStrings */

    public TestStrings() {

    }

    

    public List getTestStrings() {

        return testStrings;

    }

    

    public void addTestString(String testString) {

        System.out.println("Adding testString: " + testString);

        testStrings.add(testString);

    }

    

}

 

And the teststrings.betwixt file:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<info>

    <element name="test">

 

        <element name="teststrings">

            <element name="teststring" property="testStrings"
updater="addTestString"/>

        </element>

 

    </element>

</info>

 

 

 

Some example code to read/write

 

public void testStringsWriteRead() throws Exception {

        System.out.println("testStringsWriteRead");

        String outFile = "teststrings.xml";

        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outFile);

        TestStrings testStrings = new TestStrings();

        testStrings.addTestString("test1");

        testStrings.addTestString("test2");

        BeanWriter writer = new BeanWriter(fos);

        writer.writeXmlDeclaration("<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>");

        writer.setWriteIDs(false);

        writer.enablePrettyPrint();        

        writer.write(testStrings);     

        

       FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(outFile);

        BeanReader reader = new BeanReader();

        setReaderProperties(reader);

        reader.registerBeanClass(new
InputSource(TestStrings.class.getResourceAsStream("teststrings.betwixt")
), TestStrings.class);

        TestStrings testStrings2 = (TestStrings)reader.parse(new
InputSource(outFile));

        

        // Write out again to console

        writer = new BeanWriter();

        writer.getXMLIntrospector().setAttributesForPrimitives(false);

        writer.setWriteIDs(false);

        writer.enablePrettyPrint();        

        writer.write(testStrings2);                   

    }      

    

 

output - teststring.xml:

 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

  <test>

    <teststrings>

      <teststring>test1</teststring>

      <teststring>test2</teststring>

    </teststrings>

  </test>

 

testStrings2 does not have any strrings in it's list when it is read
from the example output above.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Regards,

 

Dave Gough

hi david

(sorry for the late response: my ISP's had major major email issues for
the last or so)

this is a bug. i've committed a fix. please try again using a recent
