plist to dict and back again


  • Subject: plist to dict and back again

I'm attempting to read in a plist, alter some information, and then write it out again. My approach has been to read in the plist, convert it to a NSDictionary, alter the value of a given key, and then convert the dict back to a plist and write the file to disk. However, I am stuck on converting from NSDictionary to a plist. Sample:

try {
Object plist =
com .webobjects .foundation.NSPropertyListSerialization.propertyListWithPathURL(new java.net.URL("file:///Users/someuser/Desktop/test.plist"));
String string =
com .webobjects .foundation.NSPropertyListSerialization.stringFromPropertyList(plist);
com.webobjects.foundation.NSDictionary dict =
com .webobjects .foundation.NSPropertyListSerialization.dictionaryForString(string);
dict.takeValueForKey("success", "Test");
log.debug(dict);


// ERROR occurs here...
plist = com .webobjects .foundation .NSPropertyListSerialization.propertyListFromString(dict.toString());


java.io.File outFile = new java.io.File("/Users/joshpaul/Desktop/ out.plist");
java.io.FileWriter out = new java.io.FileWriter(outFile);
out.write(dict.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
out.close();
}


I know I'm reading in a valid plist, as it opens fine in Property List Editor (and looks well formed in a text editor).

So, does anyone have any insight on how to accomplish this?

TIA.
