JAXB Parsing an XML file with variables (e.g. $(var1) )



I'm interested to parse an XML that contains variables (which are defined by me inside the XML).


Here's an example of the XML files:



<parameters>
<parameter name="parent-id" value="1" />
<parameter name="child-id" value="1" />
</parameters>

<Parents>
<Parent id="$(parent-id)">
<Children>
<Child id="$(child-id)">
</Child>
</Children>
</Parent>
</Parents>


Is there a utility or some standard way to do so in Java? (using JAXB possibly) Or should I implement this "mini" parsing mechanism by myself? (A mechanism that identifies the variables and plants them inside the XML, and only later calls JAXB flows)


Thanks a lot in advance!
