Using Simple XML to write a DOMResult or read a Source

[patb]

Hello,

currently I'm working on a project that uses Spring WebServices.
There, you can use several marshaller to marshal (serialize) or
unmarshal (deserialize) XML (from the SOAP body) data.

Throughout the project, I use Simple XML a lot. So I would like to
use it as a marshaller also.

The point is, that Simple must be able to deserialize to a

  org.w3c.dom.Document

or better to a

  javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult .

The other way around I would like to let Simple XML read a

  org.w3c.dom.Document

or a

  javax.xml.transform.Source .


With these I would be able to create a Spring WS marshaller based on
Simple XML. Maybe it is not too hard to implement such a
functionality? I would think that Simple XML already uses some kind of
DOM document internally.


I appreciate any help you can offer


Thanks a lot!


Best regards,
Timo Rumland

I agree that these would be really useful characteristics of the
framework.  Deserializing from a Document/Node or a DOMSource should
be easy.  I have a attached a patch that allows for it.  With it you
can do the following:

T t = persister.read(T.class, new DOMSource(myW3cNode));

But I suspect Niall will tell us that serializing to objects of these
types will be trickier.  I may try to write a
org.simpleframework.xml.stream.OutputNode to org.w3c.dom.Node
converter -- that would be useful to me as well but not ideal for
performance.  If so, I will certainly share it.
