Generate Java class from xml?
Does anyone have an idea of how i can generate .java file from xml file? Tools like jakrata digester, JOX are there but both of them are useful in populating java beans from xml. My requirement is to generate .java file from .xml with getters and setters methods for xml elements/attributes. I also tried JAXB. But JAXB generates bunch of files and most of them are interfaces, which is not going to work for me.
For e.g. i have following xml file and i want to generate Address.java file with getters/setters. Any ideas?
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<Address>
<FirstName type="String"/>
<PoBox type="int"/>
..............
</Address>
Thanks,
Vicky

Dont know about using digester but html parser is a handy library.

Might help you do what you want.

Re: Generate Java class from xml?
Posted by Adam Hardy <ah...@cyberspaceroad.com>.
Hi Christopher,
just a quick question about Digester, perhaps you can save me the effort
of reading up on it to find out myself, but will Digester be able to
parse HTML?
I am dealing with the Internet Explorer bookmarks export file. I have
already tried JAXB but JAXB chokes on it, saying that the XML is not
well-formed.
The bookmarks file has quite a few unpaired <p> and <dt> elements, which
is obviously bad XML.
Thanks

There's also XMLBeans (http://xml.apache.org/xmlbeans/) , which, unlike
Castor, works with JDK 1.4...

Castor (http://www.castor.org) which generate the java classes with marshall
and unmarshall methods, but it is not finished, doesn't care to namespaces,
owns severals bugs ...
The second one is Xml Spy 5.0, it generate classes from an xsd file which
wrap on the Dom Tree, but all facets are not implemented as enumeration ...
but I think that a better version will come soon. Generates JAXP compliant

Tools like jakrata digester, JOX are there but both of them are useful in
populating java beans from xml. My requirement is to generate .java file
from .xml with getters and setters methods for xml elements/attributes. I
also tried JAXB. But JAXB generates bunch of files and most of them are
interfaces, which is not going to work for me.
