Hi.,
Could you please tell me,How can I read values from an XML?.Supppose,I have my own xml file (student.xml) that contains the tag as follows,
<student>
<name>kathy</name>
<subject>java</subject>
</student>
And I need to read name,subject values from the servlet or jsp.

There are quite a few ways to parse XML in your app and each has it's pros and cons. Take a look here:http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava/. It's the complete book online, I'm sure you'll find something that suits your requirements.

well one way is to make them like init parameters or something. There si also a class that allows you to read XMl values and a method something like parseWebXML(). look up the method and class. I wish I could help more But Im busy so I can help you out later
