I did a previous post about how to do it with XMLBean or JABX, but it was more an example how to do it. This time is the real deal.
I used JABX to generate the java classes from the schemas and use that to parse the web.xml.
The result is a simple class : WebAppLoader that will load the web.xml.
Here a example :
WebappLoader webappLoader = new WebappLoader();
WebApp webapp = webappLoader....
I created a little demo to show how easy it can be to create a kit of classes from DTD and XSD using Maven and JAXB.
To generate from XSD schemas
In your pom.xml, you will have to add this.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-xjc</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
</dependency...

Just add theses settings :
http.proxyHost=...
After that my hard drive crash two weeks ago, I deceived to host my demos on a hosting repository. I just got my Kenai repository last week, and I start to move my stuff there one by one.
I'll update all my previous posts to point to the new download path.
My Kenai page is : http://kenai.com/projects/sebastiendionne
