4.3. Javabean Cartridge Example
The following example is based on this XML:
<order>
<header>
<date>Wed Nov 15 13:45:28 EST 2006</date>
<customer number="123123">Joe</customer>
</header>
<order-items>
<order-item>
<product>111</product>
<quantity>2</quantity>
<price>8.90</price>
</order-item>
<order-item>
<product>222</product>
<quantity>7</quantity>
<price>5.20</price>
</order-item>
</order-items>
</order>
The Javabean Cartridge is used via the http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/javabean-1.4.xsd configuration namespace. (Install the schema in your IDE to avail yourself of the latter's auto-complete functionality.)
Here is an example configuration:
<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">
<jb:bean BeanId="order" class="example.model.Order" createOnElement="#document" />
</smooks-resource-list>
This configuration creates an instance of the
example.model.Order class and binds it to the bean context under the BeanId called order. The instance is created at the very start of the message on the #document element (in other words, at the start of the root order element).
The configuration shown above creates the
example.model.Order bean instance and binds it to the bean context.
