Persist JAVA object to XML

This is very useful for developers who are going to implement the XML base java solutions. Here I'm showing how to persist the simple java object to XML.

First I create the MyBean.java class.

[sourcecode language="java"]
package mysamples;

import java.util.ArrayList;

/**
*
* @author dinuka
*/
public class MyBean {

private String name = null;
private int age;
private ArrayList telephonNos;

public MyBean() {
telephonNos = null;
}

public int getAge() {
return age;
}

public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}

public ArrayList getTelephonNos() {
return telephonNos;
}

public void setTelephonNos(ArrayList add) {
this.telephonNos = add;
}

public void print(){
System.out.println("Name :"+this.name);
System.out.println("Age :"+this.age);
for(Integer tp: telephonNos){
System.out.println("Tp :"+tp);
}
}
}
[/sourcecode]

BeanToXml.java this is a simple class to persist the above MyBean.java

[sourcecode language="java"]
package mysamples;

import java.beans.XMLEncoder;
import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
/**
*
* @author dinuka
*/
public class BeanToXml {

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
MyBean myWriteBean = new MyBean();
myWriteBean.setName("Tom");
myWriteBean.setAge(28);
ArrayList places = new ArrayList();

places.add(123456789);
places.add(623623828);
myWriteBean.setTelephonNos(places);

//Save the MyBean object to xml
XMLEncoder encoder = new XMLEncoder(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("MyBean.xml")));
encoder.writeObject(myWriteBean);
encoder.close();

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

}
}
[/sourcecode]

Output - MyBean.xml
