Searched around the web but did not find any real good answers for Blackberry.

Anyone having some useful tip? Tought of coding something but then it would be with hard coded variable names since I do not know of a way to reference a variable name "dynamically" in code.

we use ksoap2 to serialize/deserialize objects to/from xml.
depends on the project complexity if it is worth the overhead or easier to write some serializing-code yourself.

Thanks Simon. I will have a look

I found the Sourceforge project ksoap2. It just had jar file that was downloadable, Have spent an hour chasing documentation on how to use the product. I only got a tip of looking at the ksoap2-android project for documentation but that was not very helpful.

Tou know where to find it?

[simon_hain]

the sourceforge project also has the source available, for example to view here:
http://ksoap2.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ksoap2/

you can find plenty of posts about ksoap2 here, but usually it is used for webservice access.
some guides:

the most important part for you is the interface kserializable

Back to this problem after solving the problem of actually getting the XML files that arrived as a zip file from a server

and store them in persistant storage

I have tried to read the documentaion on ksoap, actually its ksoap2 and I am totally overwelmed. It feels like I have to learn all the details on how all the machinery in a car interacts and how the single components work in detail.

Well I know all that. Took some time to learn.  As a hobby I do work on 60-80 American cars and improve them.

Now all I want is to deserialize that XML file I get.  Any help is appreciated. Like, just driving the car  :-)

kSoap is a little different to just processing XML.  If all you want to do is process XML, then this might help, and uses a builtin parser so you don't have to add any library to your application:

Found this:

http://jibx.sourceforge.net/eclipse/index.html

Works for J2ME

Installs to Eclipse via Software Install

lots of examples

Will try it out

No. Strange problems with workspace.  Back to square one.  Ksoap2.  Actually KSoap2-android after a recommendation from the mailing list 

Just one jar file to install. Put it in plugins and defined in build path, Just that.

Error while packaging test project with no soap2 code.

org/kxml2/wap/wv/WV.class: Error!: Invalid class file: Incorrect classfile version
Packaging project TestDriver failed (took 0.906 seconds).

put it on the mailing list. we will se. Never ending story

I do not understand why you are using kSoap if you just have an XML stream/file to process.  kSoap is only for SOAP type communications with Web Servers and most Servers will offer other packaging methods which are easier to process.
