12.19. Configuring the Reader with java-binding-config.xml Example


The following configuration (java-binding-config.xml) can be used to bind the names into a List of PersonName objects:
<smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd" xmlns:jb="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/javabean-1.4.xsd">
    <reader class="com.acme.MyCSVReader">
        <params>
         <param name="fields">firstname,lastname</param>
        </params>
    </reader>
    <jb:bean beanId="peopleNames" class="java.util.ArrayList" createOnElement="message-root">
        <jb:wiring beanIdRef="personName" />
    </jb:bean>
    <jb:bean beanId="personName" class="com.acme.PersonName" createOnElement="message-root/record">
        <jb:value property="first" data="record/firstname" />
        <jb:value property="last" data="record/lastname" />
    </jb:bean>
</smooks-resource-list>

Here is a test for that configuration:
public class MyCSVReaderTest extends TestCase 
{
    public void test_java_binding() 
    {
        Smooks smooks = new Smooks(getClass().getResourceAsStream("java-binding-config.xml"));
        JavaResult javaResult = new JavaResult();

        smooks.filterSource(new StreamSource(getClass().getResourceAsStream("names.csv")), javaResult);

        List<PersonName> peopleNames = (List<PersonName>) javaResult.getBean("peopleNames");

        // TODO: add assertions etc
    }
}
