[Servingxml-help] Reading Java property file as a record

[Peter K. <pet...@bl...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to read a Java-like property file as one record, where each property
becomes a field (in contrast to the examples in ServingXml that treat each
property as a separate record.

I did not find any way to do this out-of-the-box, so I've written a
PropertyReader, PropertyReaderFactory and PropertyReaderFactoryAssembler to do
right this.
This works fine when I include these new components into the servicemix source
distribution as I did, but using it externally I couldn't get this to run, but
that's another topic.

The problem seems to be that the records do not have a fixed type associated and
thus a field element mapping does not find the fields obviously.

The file produced is this:

---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<header xmlns="http://openview.hp.com/xmlns/conf/2003/04">
   <policy>
      <ids>
         <container_id/>
         <version_id/>
      </ids>
      <name/>
      <version/>
      <description/>
      <files>
         <data>
            <encoding>text/plain</encoding>
            <checksum/>
            <file_name>data</file_name>
         </data>
      </files>
   </policy>
   <policytype>
      <container_id/>
      <version/>
   </policytype>
</header>
---

as one can see all tags are empty, the value from the record is missing.

I tried already in PropertyReader to create a record type on the fly by just
putting all property names into a record type and using this but without success.

I'm lost, what am I doing wrong here?


Thanks, Peter
