[jdom-interest] Nesting of complex type

[Grzegorz Kaczor]

Hi,

everything works as expected - you add to the same root first folder
element, then file, then length - what is wrong here?

I would suggest writing variable names starting with lower case to
distinguish from class names. And I would to the directory listing
using the following pattern:

you have a method

Element dumpDirectory(File file) {

   here you create the XML element this way

   Element el = new Element("Folder");
   el.setAttribute("name", file.getName());

   then list children elements, and for each

   check if it is a directory...
   if (child.isDirectory()) {

      el.addContent(dumpDirectory(child));

   }
   else {
      el.addContent(child.getName());
   }


   ....
   return el;
}

Regards,
Grzegorz
