Procedure 2.1. Task

1. Configure your reader to process YAML files as shown:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd" xmlns:yaml="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/yaml-1.4.xsd">
    
       <yaml:reader/>
    
   </smooks-resource-list>
   

2. Configure the YAML stream to contain multiple documents. The reader handles this by adding a document element as a child of the root element. An XML-serialized YAML stream with one empty YAML document looks like this:

   <yaml>
       <document>
       </document>
   </yaml>
   

3. Configure Smooks programmatically to read a YAML configuration by exploiting the YamlReaderConfigurator class:

   Smooks smooks = new Smooks();
    
   smooks.setReaderConfig(new YamlReaderConfigurator()
           .setRootName("root")
           .setDocumentName("doc")
           .setArrayElementName("e"))
           .setAliasStrategy(AliasStrategy.REFER_RESOLVE)
           .setAnchorAttributeName("anchor")
           .setAliasAttributeName("alias");
    
   // Use Smooks as normal...
