create and xml file
Hi,
I am sorry to use this as a shortcut instead of "doing the work myself", but there is so much info on the web so I do not know where to start. I just want to perform a simple task.
I have a java object ...
publicclass MySampleObject{
private String name;
private String address;
privateint phonenumber;
}
And I want to put it into an xml file like this:
<persons>
<person>
<name>Helena</name>
<address>Sweden</address>
<phonenumber>01234567</phonenumber>
</person>
</persons>
My plan is to do it the straightforard way by putting strings into a stringbuffer and writing it to a file.
Is there a smarter xml-ish way to do it ?

No you should not do it that way
I can give you an example program to create an xml with a little bit search you can finish your home work
package xml;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream .*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
public class createXML{
public Document createDocument(){
try {
DocumentBuilder builder =DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.newDocument();
return doc;
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
public void writeXML(Document doc,String fileName){
try{
File xmlFile = new File(fileName+".xml");
Source source = new DOMSource(doc);
Result result = new StreamResult(xmlFile);
Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
xformer.transform(source, result);
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String args[]){
createXML cx = new createXML();
Document xmlDoc = cx.createDocument();
Element element = xmlDoc.createElement("root");
xmlDoc.appendChild(element);
element.appendChild(xmlDoc.createTextNode("TEST"));
cx.writeXML(xmlDoc,"output");
}
}
