如何使用Digester将XML解析为Java对象

Question

I am using apache Digester parse XML to object. I have the following XML element:

<a type="X" xname = "...">..<a>
<a type="T" tname = "...">..<a>

I have class

public class X{
  private String xname;
  public static class T{
     private String tname;
  }

}

Is it able to if the type is X then I create class X, if type is T then create class T, notice T is public inner and child class of X. if yes, how to define the rule. I am using Digester 2.x, or introduce some better design

First off, why XML? JSON is the way to go. Check out google's GSON lib for serializing Java objects. Its a great library. Otherwise, here's a Digester tutorial: http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2012/09/apache-digester-example-make-easy.html
