hi guys i have a programme that can read out the xml file into a jtree en display it on the screen.
now i can make changes to the tree (edit it) but the problem is i have no clue how to save the edited tree again wen i press the save button please help.

You could try using an XMLEncoder to write the TreeModel to a File.

[alriske]

i try that like this

  XMLEncoder encoder = new XMLEncoder(
                          new BufferedOutputStream(
                              new FileOutputStream(file)));
                         encoder.writeObject(xmlJTree);
                          encoder.close();

but it dond work

[macosxnerd101]

It doesn't work how? Please be specific.

wel i use this

  if (e.getSource() == btnSave)
            {
                       JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
                       int option = fc.showSaveDialog(ShowTree.this);

                          if (option == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) 
                         {
                          try 
                          {
                            String filename = fc.getSelectedFile().getName();
                            String path = fc.getSelectedFile().getParentFile()
                                        .getPath();

                        int len = filename.length();
                        String ext = "";
                        File file = null;

                        if (len > 4) 
                        {
                            ext = filename.substring(len - 4, len);
                        }

                        if (ext.equals(".xml")) 
                        {
                            file = new File(path, filename);
                        } else {
                            file = new File(path, filename + ".xml");
                        }
                       XMLEncoder encoder = new XMLEncoder(
                          new BufferedOutputStream(
                              new FileOutputStream(file)));
                         encoder.writeObject(xmlJTree);
                          encoder.close();

to open a save location but wen i enter a path to save to i saves the file but its empty :s

owk i got this to work but my xml looks so strange like this

using the xmlencoder

 try (XMLEncoder encoder = new XMLEncoder(
                                         new BufferedOutputStream(
                                             new FileOutputStream(file)))) {
                                     encoder.writeObject(xmlJTree.getModel());
                                     encoder.close();

can i fix the void things and add so it will only return the tree?

Can you define what you qualify as "so strange" ?

[alriske]

Wel i just whant it to write the tree nodes away
parrent and child nothing els

[pbl]

encoder.writeObject(xmlJTree); 

but what defines an xmlJTree ? That is what is saved. You will to narrow down the object you want to save

[alriske]

Wel the xmltree is my tree from an other class were the tree is made so wen
you read out a file it fils the three

[alriske]

in my prev programme i had to use a jTable to write things away so i made a class like this

  public void WriteToXml(File file,Document document)
    {
         try 
        {
            FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file);
            XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();

            //
            // Set the XLMOutputter to pretty formatter. This formatter
            // use the TextMode.TRIM, which mean it will remove the
            // trailing white-spaces of both side (left and right)
            //
            outputter.setFormat(Format.getPrettyFormat());

            //
            // Write the document to a file and also display it on the
            // screen through System.out.
            //
            outputter.output(document, writer);
            outputter.output(document, System.out);
        } 
        catch (IOException e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

and this to write it

  public void toXml(File file)
        throws TransformerConfigurationException, TransformerException 
     {
        Document document = new Document() 
        {
        };

        Element root = new Element("Printers");

        model = (DefaultTableModel) getTable().getModel();
        //DEBUG
        System.out.printf("row count = %d, col count = %d\n",
            model.getRowCount(), model.getColumnCount());

        for (int row = 0; row < model.getRowCount(); row++)
        {
            //
            // Creating a child for the root element. Here we can see how to
            // set the text of an xml element.
            //
            Element child = new Element("Printer");

            for (int col = 0; col < model.getColumnCount(); col++)
            {
                child.addContent(new Element(ELEMENT_NAMES[col]).setText(
                        model.getValueAt(row, col).toString()));
            } // end col iteration
              //
              // Add the child to the root element and add the root element as
              // the document content.
              //

            root.addContent(child);
        } // end row iteration

        document.setContent(root);
        write.WriteToXml(file, document);
     }

i whant to do the same thing for the jtree but i dond know how

So it is that class that you want to save to disk, not the JTree with all its Swing components

[alriske]

yup just the tree and the info of the tree not the swing

[pbl]

Is this a question ? Because if it is the answer is in my previous post.

[alriske]

this you mean encoder.writeObject(xmlJTree); ?
problem is that this saves the swing things to
