| Many projects read XML configuration files to provide initialization of various Java objects within the |
| system. There are several ways of doing this, and the Digester component was designed to provide a common |
| implementation that can be used in many different projects. |
| |
| Basically, the Digester package lets you configure an XML -> Java object mapping module, which triggers |
| certain actions called rules whenever a particular pattern of nested XML elements is recognized. A rich set |
| of predefined rules is available for your use, or you can also create your own. |
| Advanced features of Digester include: |
| |
| * Ability to plug in your own pattern matching engine, if the standard one is not sufficient for your |
| requirements. |
| * Optional namespace-aware processing, so that you can define rules that are relevant only to a particular |
| XML namespace. |
| * Encapsulation of Rules into RuleSets that can be easily and conveniently reused in more than one |
| application that requires the same type of processing. |
| |
| Starting from release 2.1, the Digester supports Java5 Annotations definition of rules improving |
| maintainability of both Java code and XML documents, since rules are now defined in POJOs and Digester |
| parser instances can be generated at run-time, avoiding manual updates. |
