convert Xml document to java Object

[BHAVESH SHA]

Dear Sir,

I am try to convert my xml Document to java Object using castor ,but cannot do it ,

code :
-----
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
org.w3c.dom.Document doc1 = db.newDocument();
String xml="<Application><applicants><applicantID>3423</applicantID> </applicants> </Application>";

doc1 =db.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml)));
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(xml);
Marshaller.marshal(doc1,writer);

it show error of:
(The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:179)


kindly advise for the same or alternative option rather than caster.



Thanks and Regards

Let's look at a fragment of your code:

 doc1 =db.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml)));

That line suggests that "xml" is a String variable, and its contents are some XML that you want to parse.

FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(xml);

That line suggests that "xml" is a String variable, and its contents are the name of a file you want to write data to. It's unlikely that both of those are true. Something is wrong with one of those two lines.

See the java API for FileWriter class, it take String file names..and you have given XML data as he file name..check it out..
