Java swing to xml

[oceanfrea]

Hi anyone can help me? I am writing a java swing gui and wish to convert into xml. Does anyone knows how to do that. Appreciate your help?

At a guess you are refering to the definition of a GUi in XML

Have a look at the thinlet API on sourceforge

http://thinlet.sourceforge.net/

it allows you to define simple gui's using XML.

If this isn't what you meant, you need to be a bit more specific about
exactly what you want to convert into XML.

Oh sorry for the confusion, I am developing a GUI online store application using Java Swing. After my boss is satisfied with the whole stuff, I need to convert the application into XML. Is that possible? If it is, then how should I do it? Thanks please advise.....really appreciate if anyone can help.

Hi,

you cannot convert an application into XML.

XML is a data format like CSV or XLS and is used for data or config information, never application code

You could convert the data which your application is using into XML, which could then be rendered using an application onto the screen.

here is an XML tutorial which may help your understanding http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp
