[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-5322?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Xue Peng commented on JBIDE-5322: --------------------------------- Existing config file dosen't contains '<param name="input.type">xxx</param>' , so there is no way to know the input type of the config file , it need user to point out the input type themselves. Smooks tools can get the input type from existing config file with deducing it , but it only for several config files which has <reader> element (edi reader , json reader , and so on) . For other smooks config file , I suggest that : 1. Judge the "selector" string , if it looks like a java class full path , we can provide the "Java Input" for it. 2. If the "selector" string does not look like java class full path , provide the "XML Input" for it. 3. If there isn't any conditions in the config file for deduction , provide the "XML Input" as default.
