This sample illustrates how you can work with mixed content XML by combining
|
||
|
|
strong types generated from schema with an XmlCursor instance. The XmlCursor
|
||
|
|
interface is provided with XMLBeans for just this kind of use. With strong types
|
||
|
|
you can only get or set the full value of an element; by using a cursor you can
|
||
|
|
"dive into" the contents of an element, manipulating child elements that are
|
||
|
|
embedded in the content and surrounded by other text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sample's XML is a pseudo-inventory of nonsensical items, each with a unique
|
||
|
|
ID and a description. Where the name of one item is mentioned in the description
|
||
|
|
of another, the sample code wraps the name with a <link> element whose id
|
||
|
|
attribute is the ID of the named item.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you run this sample, you'll see it print potentially three blocks of
|
||
|
|
information:
|
||
|
|
- The XML it got from the inventoryitems.xml file.
|
||
|
|
- The XML it generated by associating cross-mentioned items.
|
||
|
|
- The results from validating the resulting XML, if the XML is invalid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To try out this sample:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Set XMLBEANS_HOME in your environment
|
||
|
|
2. Ant must be on your PATH
|
||
|
|
3. To compile the schemas and sample source, run "ant build"
|
||
|
|
4. To execute the sample, run "ant run"
