Swing components properties

Question

Hi there!
I'm writing a gui generator from xml file. Consider this example:
<JFrame>
<height>100</height>
<width>50</width>
</JFrame>My problem is to link string from file (for instance "height") with a swing component property. I just want to avoid huge case block (case "height": setHeight() bla bla)

Good afternoon...
try this (i may have written myself, it may come from somewhere else, can't remember and there's no comments).import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ShowUIManager {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
        System.out.println("Count Item = " + defaults.size());
        String[ ] colName = {"Key", "Value"};
        String[ ][ ] rowData = new String[ defaults.size() ][ 2 ];
        int i = 0;
        for(Enumeration e = defaults.keys(); e.hasMoreElements(); i++){
            Object key = e.nextElement();
            rowData[ i ] [ 0 ] = key.toString();
            rowData[ i ] [ 1 ] = ""+defaults.get(key);
            System.out.println(rowData[ i ][ 0 ]+"\t"+rowData[ i ][ 1 ]);
        JFrame f = new JFrame("UIDefaults Key-Value sheet");
        JTable t = new JTable(rowData, colName);
        f.setContentPane(new JScrollPane(t));
        //f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.pack();
        f.setVisible(true);
}
