XML serializer: XML -> myClass

Hi,
in vb.net there is a way to serialize a class to a XML-document and the other way round.
Is there also a simple way to do this in java for BlackBerry? I get a XML-document such like this one here:

Quote:

<myDoc>
<user>
<name>Name1</name>
<vorname>Vorname1</vorname>
</user>
<user>
<name>Name2</name>
<vorname>Vorname2</vorname>
</user>
...
</myDoc>

Now I've got my Class user:

Code:

class user {

public String Name;

public String Vorname;

user() {}

}

And now i want to pasre the XML-String and after parsing I want to have a Vector. The Vector should contain n elements of class user, created from the XML-String.

So is there a Simple way to do this? Is there a kind of function which I can use for other classes also??

I hope you know what i want to do, and i hope that someone can help me :)

thanks, hibbert

use the native sax parser: net.rim.device.api.xml.parsers.SAXParser

SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();

Ok thanks, i will take a look at it :)

But the only Examples i could find doesn't return a class or something like that or I don't understand what is done there, so it really doesn't help me at the moment. maybe you can give me another tip how to complete this :)

thanks again hibbert

ok, this is what i have got (so far)

PHP Code:

   public class frmXML extends UiApplication{

    MainScreen mainScreen = null;

        

    private final class myScreen extends MainScreen {}

     

    public static void main(Stringxxx91;xxx93; args) {

        frmXML theApp = new frmXML();

        theApp.enterEventDispatcher();

    }

    

    private InputStream stringToStream(String _text) {

        InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(_text.getBytes("UTF-8"));

        return is;

    }

        

 
    public frmXML() {

        final MainScreen mainScreen = new myScreen();

        SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();

        OutputStreamWriter out;      

        String xmlString = "<data><user><name>Name1</name><vorname>Vorname1</vorname></user><user><name>Name2</name><vorname>Vorname2</vorname></user></data>";

  try {

 
        out = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out, "UTF8");

        SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();

        saxParser.parse(new InputSource(stringToStream(xmlString), new clsUser()));

    } catch (Throwable err) {

        err.printStackTrace ();

  }

}

}

//========================================

package XML;

 
class clsUser { 

    public String Name = "";

    public String Vorname = "";

    clsUser() {}

}

but i get this error here:

Quote:

cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor InputSource(java.io.InputStream,XML.clsUser)
location: class org.xml.sax.InputSource
saxParser.parse(new InputSource(stringToStream(xmlString), new clsUser()));
^ (under new InputSource)
1 error

maybe someone can help me, and how do i create my vector??

thanks hibbert
