The first wizard page is a file path creation page. Select the src folder to be the files container, and input the name smooks-config.xml. Click Next.

The second wizard page is a Smooks configuration file version choose page.Select appropriate one and click Finish.

Select the Java data type and click Next, you will see the JavaBean class selection page:

Let's select the Order class from the example project as the source JavaBean class and the ListOrder class as the target JavaBean class.When you selected the necessary java classes, click Finish and you should see all added java classes displayed in the Input Data Section .

Click on it and you should see Bindings Section to the right of Message Filtering Resources.Write lineOrder in the Bean id field.

Select example.trgmodel.LineOrder in the Class field and example.srcmodel.Order in the Name field.Your Smooks Configuration Editor should look like this:

Now you should bind two values "customerNumber" property of the Order#header to the "customerId" property of LineOrder.To do this right click your just created Bindings Item >Add Smooks Resource>Value .

Do the same operation with the other properties in this and other classes.

It's also necessary to bind orderItems property of the Order to lineItems property of LineOrder.The difference from the previous steps is that the orderItems is presented by the list of Order and lineItems is the massive of LineItem .To do the binding,you should use Wiring Item.First you should create a new Binding item. This is a configuration that allows you to construct an object graph .Select example.trgmodel.LineItem[] in the Class field and orderItems in the Name field,in bean Id write lineItems. Your Smooks Configuration Editor should look like this:

Then you should right click lineOrder binding item >Add Smooks Resource>Wiring.Select lineItem in Bean id Ref.

The final step is to add new Wiring item to lineOrder Binding.In the Bean id Ref select lineItems and in Property select lineItems.

Now, you should save the file and the Smooks tools generate the correct configuration file content.
