Need to Transform input request parameters to XML using smooks.?

[shwetanks]

Hi All,

As per the requirement I need to generate an XML from some input request parameter. But I have no idea how to populate data in java object  to xml tag values using smooks-config.xml.

From XML to Java I have done...but now the case is opposite.

I have already gone through the link http://community.jboss.org/thread/146312 but couldn't cater to my requirement.

Please let me know if it is actually possible using smooks configuration.

Any sort of help is highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Shwetank

Check out the smooks user guide and examples at smooks.com.  You could also implement a simple FreeMarker action that applies a FreeMarker template to your Java object model.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I got your point that you are saying something like

<![CDATA[<line-item>

   <product><xsl:value-of select="./Product/@productId" /></product>

   <price><xsl:value-of select="./Product/@price" /></price>

    <quantity><xsl:value-of select="@quantity" /></quantity>

</line-item>]]>

But my input is not an XML, it is a post request with say 3 parameters param1,param2 and param3

So the request would come like

http://localhost:8080/http?param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3

Now I want to transfer it like

<request>

<param1>value1</param1>

<param2>value2</param2>

<param3>value3</param3>

</request>

I can implement it using custom java code, but I wanted to give it a try using Smooks.

So, is it possible using smooks configurations.

One more questions,

I googled for FreeMarker action you have mentioned above, but couldn't found any. Can you please share some more details over that?

Thanks & Regards,
