[Digester] using (X)HTML in XML
Hi,
I run into a problem with digester,
when include (X)HTML in a XML file
that I want to read with Digester.
I've an XML and ne of those values contain
(X)HTML:
<root>
...
<texte>
<text>Nice to see you!<br/>Please be sure...</text>
...
</texte>
...
</root>
Now I thought the String that is read by Digester
would be "Nice to see you!<br/>Please be sure..."
NO! it doesn't contain "<br/>"
like: "Nice to see you!Please be sure..."
Am I doing something wrong?
Best regards,
Matthias

If you want that literal output, then you will indeed need to create
your own Rule instance. Or, use NodeCreateRule and then write some
code to serialize the result as a string. If you go the "write your
own" route, the code in NodeCreateRule might still serve as a good
starting point, because you are going to have to intercept all the SAX
events inside your matching area anyway.

Wendy, Craig,
thanks for the responses.
Is't it posible to say
"all what's inside of <text>, should be *copied*
to property "value" of clazz "Text" ?
like a String "fooBar<br/>barFoo"
Or will I need to create own Rule clazzes?
I need this, since I must configure output
for a JSF web app. One of my BackingBeans
contains a Vector with all "<text>"-"Objects".
(each JSF pages got's a <text> value on Random...)
So I am not allowed to code it hard...
(It is a *prototype* which will be compined
with a custom layout engine that generates HTML, WML, ...)
However, any hint? I am turning OT ... :-)

The issue is that you're wanting to read body text in addition to
elements and attributes, and Digester was never really targeted for
that use case.
If you really want to do something like this, check out
NodeCreateRule, which will give you back a DOM structure representing
the nested content. In your example, you'd get back a <text> element
with three children ... the leading body content, the <br> element,
and the trailing body content ... but at least you'd be maintaining
the structure.

Based on my very limited Digester experience, I'm relatively sure that if
you look at the log output, you'll see Digester "finding" that <br/> tag
and, not finding any rules that say it's supposed to do something, ignoring
it. I think you will have to encode the characters if you want Digester to
pass them through: < as < for example.
