How to create a hierarchy using the following xml file

[Balachandar Nayak]

Hi friends.

I have an XML file in the following format

- <Row>
  <Name>#OfflineMode</Name> 
  <Source>Simulation Items/#OfflineMode</Source> 
  </Row>
- <Row>
  <Name>ArrayOfReal8</Name> 
  <Source>Simulation Items/Bucket Brigade/ArrayOfReal8</Source> 
  </Row>
- <Row>
  <Name>ArrayOfString</Name> 
  <Source>Simulation Items/Bucket Brigade/ArrayOfString</Source> 
  </Row>

The name tag represents the element and the source represents where I have to place the name tag.
I need to build a hierarchy in the following manner.

    

Simulation Items
|___OfflineMode
|___Bucket Brigade
         |___ArrayofReal8
         |___ArrayOfString

There can be 'n' level hierarchy with child elements. How to create a hierarchy in java?
Can you advice on this.

Thanks
Bala

You can create classes which implement an interface or extend some superclass. They can have children (n) of the same type and perhaps a parent. Does this help you?

Eg.

   
public class Node {
      private ArrayList children = new ArrayList();
      private Node parent;
      private String name;

     public Node getParent() {
           return parent;
     }

     public Node getNodeAt(int index) {
          return (Node)children.get(index);
     }
     public int getNodeCount() {
         return children.size();
    }
}

Does this help you?
