Thanks Michael and Wendell,
you (Wendell) asked me to expose my requirements, so in short:
we need a documentation (I got the developers to accept DocBook as
format) of an import/export interface in xml, where data is mapped in
java objects. The import interface is in draft state, so there will be
changes in future to the structure, as well as to the example values
contained in the tags.
I use a demo import file (consisting in more than 200 object mappings)
to generate a rough frame in DocBook containing all basic data
structures and thus freeing me of annoying mass work (gain without pain
:-)). Once I have a reasonable framework, I'll start editing the DocBook
document, any further changes/extensions to the import structure will be
documented manually (I will not repeat the transformation, the goal is
to just reach a good starting point). To introduce CDATA sections, I
decided to perform some search/replace actions in a (one time) post-process.
If I would use a GUI editor that hides the escaped characters, I
wouldn't be bothered by them, but I'm hacking xml in ASCII mode, so
CDATA sections are definitely more fun.
Regards,
Georges
