You can use the . (dot) operator to assign the values of Java data members to XML, and vice versa. In other words, in addition to using the . operator for public data members, XML maps enable you to use it with accessor pairs.
For each of the examples below, you can write a map that accesses the data using dot notation syntax like the following:
<book_data> <book_title>{Book.title}</book_title> <in_print>{Book.isInPrint}</in_print> </book_data>
public class Book { public String title; public boolean inPrint; }
public class Book { public String getTitle(){ return title; } public void setTitle(String newTitle){ title = newTitle; } public boolean isInPrint public setInPrint(boolean f) }
