Description

In the code below the Rules with the wildcard-patterns don't seem to be fired
(at least, when using the xml even more below). If the exact matching rules are
put in comment, the wildcard matching rules do get fired.
It seems like the SetRoot rule overwrites the ObjectCreate rule.
Furthermore the pattern "datadescriptor//property" doesn't seem to match
anywhere, but this may be due to a misunderstanding of the (rather short)
explanation in the docs.

yours sincerely,
Maarten Van Puymbroeck.

– Java Code –

// Properties
// create the object
digester.addObjectCreate("*/property", RealProperty.class);
// initialize properties
String[] properties = new String[]

{"name", "key", "tooltip", "mapsWith", "type", "ref"}

;
digester.addSetProperties("*/property", properties, properties);
// add the properties to the correct collection
digester.addSetRoot("datadescriptor/properties/property", "addProperty");//,
"be.generic.Property");
digester.addSetRoot("datadescriptor/searchproperties/property",
"addSearchProperty");//, "be.generic.Property");
digester.addSetRoot("datadescriptor/listproperties/property",
"addListProperty");//, "be.generic.Property");
digester.addSetRoot("datadescriptor/editproperties/property",
"addEditProperty");//, "be.generic.Property");
