Harshad Oak's "Pro Jakarta Commons" (Apress 2004) has about 20 pages on
digester. The nice thing about this book is that it collects
information on several commons components in one place. But all in all,
it's rather basic -- well, introductory. I had hoped for more advanced
material.

glad to hear about that (the book bit, of course :)
i believe that there will be soon a few books on jakarta commons which
will cover digester. i think that henri create an offshore (unofficial)
project to track books and other resources (so this could be done
without having to officially advocate them) but i've misplaced the url.
i'll ask about this.
the examples simon was talking about are pretty reasonable and there
have also been a number of articles on digester (search for them or
there are a few links on the web site).

Not sure if you might be talking about me
or one my fellow Co-Authors :) ...but we
did write a book about Jakarta Commons that
should come out this month. It will also
cover digester. ...but it's in german.

Hi Steve,
If you download the source distribution for Digester release 1.6.0, you
will find some examples in the src/examples directory. These should be
more readable than the unit tests, and are intended to demonstrate all
the basic features of commons-digester.
If there is anything about the examples that you find unclear or
incomplete, please email suggestions to this list so that the problem
can be addressed...
I think a book on the subject of java<->XML mapping techniques would be
a great idea for someone to tackle, with Digester given a couple of
chapters. I can't see Digester making sufficient material for a
dead-tree publication all by itself. There was a fellow asking questions
about various commons projects a while ago, with the intention of
writing a book on jakarta-commons. I haven't heard anything since,
though, so I guess the project sunk...
Regards,
Simon

I haven't seen a book out there with really
significant Digester coverage, typically just some
brief mentions and urgings that you use it. I've been
pulling together some notes for a book over the last
several months, but lately contractor life has been
intruding. Not sure how much demand there would be
for a Digester book, but figured it would be a fun
experience even if it wasn't a money-maker. If I make
more headway, I may end up scouting for reviewers to
point out the flaws in my writing.
For now, there is some decent material in the javadocs
and the unit tests of the source distribution. Not
enough to learn everything about Digester, but enough
to get rolling on the simpler aspects. If you haven't
looked at the unit tests, I'd recommend starting
there. I'd also recommend looking at the Struts
source, since it makes good use of the Digester for
reading the struts-config.xml and tiles files.
