Question

Im using JDom for creating and retrieving XML messages. I would like to encode an object into xml, say I have a User object class this

class User
{
    int id;
    String name;
}

User user;

Is there a method that will automatically parse an object like this into an XML document or do I have to manually set the elements of the XML document?

XStream can do that for you. http://x-stream.github.io/

XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.
