get java object and display in XML format

[saket gupta]

hi


suppose we are storing all instance variable of class obj in HashMap using reflection

and then we are iterating from HashMap and storing in XML format

we are storing field type , field name and field value in hashmap and output like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<root class="One" label=VAR1/>

<int name="int_One" >10</int>

<String name="str_One" >One</String>

<float name="float_one" >1.2</float>

</root>


what can i use for output like this ......
currently i m using StringBuffer for storing and printing in this way by hardcode
like this

for (int counter = 0; counter <= xmlfieldnames.size(); counter++) {

if (xmlfieldnames.get("FieldName" + counter) != null) {

xmlStrBuffer.append("\n<" +

xmlfieldtype.get("FieldType" + counter) + " name=\"" +

xmlfieldnames.get("FieldName" + counter) + "\" >" +

xmlfieldvalue.get("FieldValue" + counter) + "</" +

xmlfieldtype.get("FieldType" + counter) + ">");

}

i'm use DOM4j to create XML document.

Basiscally, you might consider using JAXP (come with J2SE) or Xerces (developed by Apache) to create XML documents.

And they provide APIs for you to convert it into a "printable" format.
