JAVA: Build XML document using XPath expressions

Question

I know this isn\'t really what XPath is for but if I have a HashMap of XPath expressions to values how would I go about building an XML document. I\'ve found dom-4j\'s Docu

Answer 1

The best I was able to come up with is to use a JAXB implementation, which will marshall/unmarshal objects to xml and then I used Dozer (http://dozer.sourceforge.net/documentation/mapbackedproperty.html) to map the xpaths which were keys in a map to the JAXB object method setters.

java.util.Map
org.example.Foo

  this
  Foo.entity.att
  java.lang.String

It's more of a two step solution, but really worked for me.
