Question

How can I convert XML file to EDI file using SMOOKS?

I am able to convert EDI to XML, in fact this is part of examples provided by SMOOKS.

Based on your question i tried to do some research on it . Please check if it helps you .

So here's the source edi file that is to be transformed:

HDR*1*0*59.97*64.92*4.95*Wed Nov 15 13:45:28 EST 2006 CUS*user1*Harry^Fletcher*SD ORD*1*1*364*The 40-Year-Old Virgin*29.98 ORD*2*1*299*Pulp Fiction*29.99 

And this is the expected result of our transformation:

<Order>     <header>             <order-id>1</order-id>             <status-code>0</status-code>             <net-amount>59.97</net-amount>             <total-amount>64.92</total-amount>             <tax>4.95</tax>             <date>Wed Nov 15 13:45:28 EST 2006</date>     </header>     <customer-details>             <username>user1</username>             <name>                     <firstname>Harry</firstname>                     <lastname>Fletcher</lastname>             </name>             <state>SD</state>     </customer-details>     <order-item>             <position>1</position>             <quantity>1</quantity>             <product-id>364</product-id>             <title>The 40-Year-Old Virgin</title>             <price>29.98</price>     </order-item>     <order-item>             <position>2</position>             <quantity>1</quantity>             <product-id>299</product-id>             <title>Pulp Fiction</title>             <price>29.99</price>     </order-item> </Order> 

The Smooks Configuration

We simply specify the SmooksEDIParser  as the stream parser. More transformation configurations could be added to transform this message further. Here's the configuration ("smooks-config.xml"):

<?xml version="1.0"?> <smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd"                   xmlns:edi="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/edi-1.1.xsd">  <!-- Configure the EDI Reader to process the message stream into a stream of SAX events. --> <edi:reader mappingModel="/example/edi-to-xml-order-mapping.xml" />  </smooks-resource-list> 

Here's the edi mapping ("/src/main/java/example/edi-to-xml-order-mapping.xml"):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <medi:edimap xmlns:medi="http://www.milyn.org/schema/edi-message-mapping-1.0.xsd"> <medi:description name="DVD Order" version="1.0" /> <medi:delimiters segment="&#10;" field="*" component="^" sub-component="~" /> <medi:segments xmltag="Order">     <medi:segment segcode="HDR" xmltag="header">         <medi:field xmltag="order-id" />         <medi:field xmltag="status-code" />         <medi:field xmltag="net-amount" />         <medi:field xmltag="total-amount" />         <medi:field xmltag="tax" />         <medi:field xmltag="date" />     </medi:segment>     <medi:segment segcode="CUS" xmltag="customer-details">         <medi:field xmltag="username" />         <medi:field xmltag="name">             <medi:component xmltag="firstname" />             <medi:component xmltag="lastname" />         </medi:field>         <medi:field xmltag="state" />     </medi:segment>     <medi:segment segcode="ORD" xmltag="order-item" maxOccurs="-1">         <medi:field xmltag="position" />         <medi:field xmltag="quantity" />         <medi:field xmltag="product-id" />         <medi:field xmltag="title" />         <medi:field xmltag="price" />     </medi:segment> </medi:segments> </medi:edimap> 

Executing The Transformation:

// Instantiate Smooks with the config... Smooks smooks = new Smooks("smooks-config.xml");  try { // Filter the input message to the outputWriter... smooks.filterSource(new StreamSource(messageIn), new StreamResult(messageOut)); } finally { smooks.close(); }
