OT Digester question
Appologies for the off topic question. Does anyone know how I can create an
object with a constructor that takes agruments specified via XML elements.
I have a Configuration object with a constructor that takes two String
parameters. The XML will be something like this:
<config>
<param1>someText</param1>
<param2>someText</param2>
<saveAs>someText</savaAs>
</config>
When the digester matches the config pattern it will create the
Configuration object passing param1 and param2 as parameters to the
constructor and then when it matches the pattern config/saveAs it will call
a method on the Configuration object.
I have looked at the documentation and have seen the FactoryCreateRule but I
am not sure how to use this and how I can get it to use the param1 and
param2 elements as the Constructor parameters.
Once again sorry for the off topic post. Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jim.

I haven't got it to work yet but you confirmed what I thought about not
being able to use nested tags and having to use attributes instead. I am
just checking out now how to use the FactoryCreateRule.

Re: [OT] Digester question

A bit out of my comfort zone on this one, but I think you might have to change
your XML to something like:
<config attr1="someText" attr2="someText">
<saveAs>someText</savaAs>
</config>
because the FactoryCreateRule/ObjectCreationFactory stuff seems to work with an
element's attributes, not its sub-elements. Then it looks like you need to
subclass AbstractObjectCreationFactory and provode a createObject method impl
that will extract the appropriate attribute values and construct your
Configuration object. I'm sure other folks on the list (or on commons-user) have
more experience with this though...
