[Simple-support] Deserialize xml element as string

[EECOLOR <ee...@gm...>]

Hello,

I want to deserialize the following xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
   <title type="text">dive into mark</title>
   <entry>
      <title>Atom draft-07 snapshot</title>
      <content type="xhtml" xml:lang="en" xml:base="http://diveintomark.org/
">
         <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
            <p><i>[Update: The Atom draft is finished.]</i></p>
         </div>
      </content>
   </entry>
</feed>

I want to have the content as a string since it contains xhtml. Is there a
possibility to have the div and it's content as string?
Resulting in an object like this:

class Entry
{
   @Text
   String title;

   @?
   String content;
}

Thanks!

Hi 
There are a number of ways, but unfortunately it can not be done automatically. If you declared the following
.class Entry{   @Text
   String title;

   @Element
   @Convert(MyAttemptAtCreatingAStringConverter.class)   String content;
}
You would then have to try to convert to a string. However you would have to traverse the <entry> element using an InputNode. So it would not give you the string from the source document.
Alternatively, you could use the following XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
   <title type="text">dive into mark</title>   <entry><![CDATA[
      <title>Atom draft-07 snapshot</title>
      <content type="xhtml" xml:lang="en"xml:base="http://diveintomark.org/">         <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">            <p><i>[Update: The Atom draft is finished.]</i></p>         </div>      </content>
   ]]></entry>
</feed>
The CDATA section could then be taken in as an @Element(data=true).

(I noticed the reply went to Niall, so resending to list)

Thanks for your response!

I wish I could alter the xml, but I do not have control over the
specification of atom, hehe: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287

Is there another way besides traversing the InputNode? It seems inefficient
to let Simple convert it to xml only to have me convert it back to a string.

I encounter stuff like:

<content>
    text <i>text</i> text
</content>

Any suggestions?*

Re: [Simple-support] Deserialize xml element as string

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

Well, there is a really ugly way to do this. You can grab the StAX event or DOM node from InputNode.getSource(), a real hack, but it works. The reason you can't do this with Simple is because it is not canonical XML. Which is what Simple XML is all about.

(somehow my reply button does not reply to the list, so sorry for any
doubles)

Thanks for you help so far.


I tried that route, but it seems only start events are passed into the
Converter...

I might be mistaken on that though.

Subject: Re: [Simple-support] Deserialize xml element as string

It's quite tricky stuff. I managed to create a patch (see attachment) that adds a method 'getXMLString' to InputNode. The implementation for the DocumentReader is ok, for the StreamReader however I have some concerns. In the StreamReader the events are gathered and placed into the StreamReader.Start EventNodes. I an not sure what the impact of this approach is on memory and performance. I think it would be nice to have a switch to turn it on and off. Any ideas on this?

The getXMLString method can be used in a converter like this:

public String read(InputNode node) throws Exception {

     while (node.getNext() != null) {
        /*
         * make sure all nodes are visited before we get the xml string
         *
         * this is only needed for StAX
         */
     }

     String xmlString = node.getXMLString();

     return xmlString== null ? "" : xmlString;
}

The patch uses the 'src' directory as root.

Last, but not least: the source code looks amazing. Really a perfect job and a very nice architecture.

Yes, Ill make sure to integrate this. There is a patch for this I will attempt to integrate it. Sorry for late response, this got caught by my spam detector.
