[Digester] Including other files for parsing
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to implement an include-mechanism for XML-Files with
Digester. In the XML are processing-instructions like
<?include xyz.xml ?>
which should Digester make to continue parsing with the contents of the
referenced file and return afterwards for parsing the rest of the
original file. I tried to manipulate the overgiven Reader-instance, but
this leads to nowhere unless I pre-parse the XML myself to find those
processing-instructions ...
So, any ideas?
thanks in advance
Tobias

Thanks for all your help. A new version of digester sounds incredible well!
kind regards

I've floated the idea:

Lets see. If all goes well, could be supported soon (in weeks, rather
than years :-).

At the core of digester's parsing capabilities is the
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory class. Now compare and constrast:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory.html
with:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory.html

Ok,
sounds like "Does not work currently" ;( ... So I will skip this feature
and move on until Digester supports XInclude (which I didn't know but it
is exactly what I want to have).
You said, XInclude was introduced in Java5 - can you tell me where to
find information about that?
thanks

XInclude would be ideal (and far more flexible) -- unfortunately, I
don't think [digester] allows configuring the SAX parser to be
XInclude-aware since that was introduced in JDK 1.5.
IMO, that enhancement alone would warrant a JDK 1.5 [digester] release.

Ok, I thought about that way too, but I need my XML-authors to say what
files should be included - that's no task that I can perform in general
while writing the DTD. The mechanism is meant to work like the
include-directive in PHP (or any other language), so I need a way to
manipulate the contents of the read XML-Document at parse-time.
