This solution has nothing to do with xml, just create your own Reader or stream
class, and before returning the real data, return the "<Root>" string. When all
the real data is exhausted, return </Root>
here's some pseudo code, haven't tried it just typing it in to email.
you'd probably have to handle reading arrays as well.
It would probably be easier to use Readers as well.
class RootNodeStream extends FilterStream
{
private InputStream is;
private static byte[] PREAMBLE = "<root>".getBytes("UTF-8");
private static byte[] POSTAMBLE = "</root>".getBytes("UTF-8");
private boolean state = BEFORE;
private int charPos = 0;
public RootNodeStream(InputStream s)
{
is = s;
}
public int read()
{
if (state == BEFORE)
{
byte b =PREAMBLE[charPos++];
if (charPos >= PREAMBLE.length)
state = IN;
return b;
}
if (state == IN)
{
byte b = in.read();
if (b == -1)
{
state = AFTER;
charPos = 0;
}
else
return b;
}
if (state == AFTER)
{
byte b =POSTAMBLE[charPos++];
if (charPos >= POSTAMBLE.length)
state = DONE;
else
return b;
}
return -1;
}
}
