[Simple-support] How to parse xml into objects I can use to build a richfaces tree?

[meghiddo <mat...@ho...>]

The xml looks like this:

[code]<deviceCollection>   
   <device>   
      <deviceId>exampleDevice1</deviceId>   
      <name>Example Device 1</name>   
   </device>   
</deviceCollection>[/code]

I have a readXml method already:

[code]public DeviceCollection readXML(InputStream xml) throws Exception {    
        Serializer serializer = new Persister();    
  
        DeviceCollection deviceCollection = null;    
        deviceCollection = serializer.read(DeviceCollection.class, xml);    
        xml.close();    
        return deviceCollection;    
    }       
[/code]

And here is my method where I am attempting to bind this data:

[code]static String devicesUrl =
"http://webc-apps.ni.com/measure/1.01/devices";   
       
    public static void updateNode() throws IOException, Exception  {   
           
        // Create an instance of HttpClient.   
         HttpClient client = new HttpClient();   
           
         // Create a method instance.   
         GetMethod method = new GetMethod(devicesUrl);   
           
        XMLTreeDataBuilderTest node = new XMLTreeDataBuilderTest();   
        DeviceCollectionXMLAO access = new DeviceCollectionXMLAO();    
        DeviceCollection deviceCollection;   
           
           
        deviceCollection = access.readXML(method.getResponseBodyAsStream());   
           
[/code]

I am not sure where I am going wrong here.  All I really know is I am
needing to take the values from the deviceid node and name node, and bind
them to something which I can then use in my jsf page to build a tree.
It has to be dynamic as well, because that xml from the top is going to be
different depending on the user..
please help, Ive been at this for a week and havent made much progress
