| This sample illustrates how you can use the XMLBeans API to create a Java | |
| tree view of an XML document. The JTree implementation in the sample supports | |
| binding to any XML document. By accessing bound XML using an XmlCursor | |
| instance and XPath rather than through accessors provided by compiling | |
| schema, the data model behind this tree can support XML without regard | |
| to schema. The XmlEntry contains the simple code that is XMLBeans-aware. | |
| The XmlModel class, with which the tree implementation interacts directly, | |
| in turn knows nothing of XMLBeans or the underlying XML, instead reaching | |
| the data through XmlEntry instances. | |
| When you run this sample, it will display a window with the following bits of | |
| UI: | |
| - A box at the top with the path to the XML that the tree represents. By | |
| default, this is the PurchaseOrder.xml file included with the sample. You can | |
| change this path to point to another XML file, then click the Refresh | |
| button to update the tree. | |
| - A pane on the left displaying the tree itself. You can click nodes in the | |
| tree to display the XML the node represents. | |
| - A pane on the right displaying XML for the tree node that is selected in | |
| the left pane. | |
| To try out this sample: | |
| 1. Set XMLBEANS_HOME in your environment | |
| 2. Ant must be on your PATH | |
| 3. To compile the sample source, run "ant build" | |
| 4. To execute the sample, run "ant run" |
