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.

I think you're trying way too hard.

try {
Object plist =
com .webobjects .foundation.NSPropertyListSerialization.propertyListWithPathURL(new java.net.URL("file:///Users/someuser/Desktop/test.plist"));

If the contents of test.plist is a string representation of a dictionary, then plist should be your dictionary. You may need to make a mutable copy to modify it (not sure).


NSMutableDictionary dict = ((NSDictionary)plist).mutableClone();
dict.setObjectForKey("success", "Test");
String string =
com .webobjects .foundation.NSPropertyListSerialization.stringFromPropertyList(dict);


java.io.File outFile = new java.io.File("/Users/joshpaul/Desktop/ out.plist");
java.io.FileWriter out = new java.io.FileWriter(outFile);

out.write(string);

		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} finally {
		          out.close();
		}


Aloha,
Art
