Re: Object with a toXML method

Roll your own. Our domain base object has a toXML() method, that way all our domain objects inherit it. The method basically recurses through all the embedded objects within itself and uses reflection and jdom to produce the XML. Works like a charm.

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
