[great-users] XML-generating translators

[Sumant Tambe]

Hi Sandeep,

If I understand you right, then you are talking about a "text" type 
attribute of a class. An example of such a text attribute would be 
"address : text". But that is not what I am looking for. I want to 
generate an XML file in which the elements carry the contents. Something 
like given below:

     <connectionName> UniqueName1  </connectionName>
     <fwdBW> 100  </fwdBW>
     <revBW> 100  </revBW>
     <qos> HIGH_PRIORITY  </qos>

I am still interested in knowing if that can be done although Feng has 
replied saying it is not supported.

Thanks,

Sumant.
