Generate xml on fly

[Aryan Khan]

Hi all,

I have a method like :

    
public void sayHello(String name, String message, int type)
{
    //Generate xml doc from name, message,type
    //Validat against schema
    //If valid send to some other application
}

In this method I would like to construct a xml message from the 3 parameters and they should be validated against xml schema and sent to some other application.

My question is, how can we generate xml on the fly from java variables and validate it as well.


Thanks
Ahmad

I would do XML creation with plain print statements - no need to validate with a schema if you control the exact output in your own program and it will be much faster.

How to send the result? That depends on how the other application is listening.

Needless to say, there are many more complicated ways to do this - see for example the java.bean package XMLDecoder and XMLEncoder classes.
