| == overview |
| |
| The files in this directory are intended as an example of how to use |
| the Apache Digester's basic functionality via its java interface. |
| |
| Topics covered: |
| * how to read xml from a string (instead of a file) |
| * how to use Digester.getRoot() to retrieve the "root" object |
| created when parsing an input file. |
| * how to use the "factory create" rule to create java objects which |
| do not have default (no-argument) constructors. |
| * how to use the "set properties" rule (advanced usage) to map xml attributes |
| to java bean properties with names different from the xml attribute name. |
| * how to use the SetPropertyRule. |
| * how to use the ObjectParamRule to pass a constant string to a method. |
| |
| |
| If you haven't read the "addressbook" example, it is recommended that |
| you start there first. This example demonstrates more advanced features |
| of the digester. |
| |
| == compiling and running |
| |
| * to compile: |
| mvn compile |
| |
| * to build the jar artifact |
| mvn package |
| |
| * to run: |
| mvn verify |
| |
| Alternatively, you can set up your CLASSPATH appropriately, and |
| run the example directly. |
