Re: Object with a toXML method

Niell,
You are correct. That feature is there. I personally don't like the code it
generates, but it's just a preference thing.

I'm mainly adding this feature for use in AJAX requests. Just trying to
limit all the hand-coded XML. It could however be very useful for passing
objects back and forth though.

I'm fairly sure there is support for this in WDSC / Rational, but it might
be the other way around, you give it a schema and its generates the classes
for you.

I'll dig around see if I can find an example

James:

I use the XStream library. It is easy enough to bolt onto an existing
application. So far the only thing I don't like about is the number of
classes it can depend on.

It works fine on Java 1.5 (V5R4) on the AS400.

I saw you post about JAXB. I'll take a look at it.

Hi All,
I've been looking today into creating a method on some of my classes to
output XML for an AJAX response.

I see there are several ways to do this, JAXB, XMLEncoder, or even just
implement your own hard-coded version.

My question is, what is the best way to do this? I've thought about
writing
a simple class that uses BeanInfo and just creates the XML with the
property
name for all getters.

Just curious to see if others are doing this and if there is a preferred
way
of doing it.

Thanks in advance,
James R. Perkins
