Parsing an XML String

[Kamal Ahmed]

Hi,

I need some help and direction, on how to do the following:

I have a String object:

I have a String
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 
<!DOCTYPE results SYSTEM "http://a.b.c.d:20000/echo/dtd/ECHOCollectionResults.dtd">
 
<results>
 
<provider name='FC_ECHO10'>
 
<result itemId='C1020-FC_ECHO10'>
 
<CollectionMetaData>
 
<ECHOItemId>C1020-FC_ECHO10</ECHOItemId>
 
<ShortName>ALL_REQUIRED</ShortName>
 
<VersionId>1</VersionId>
 
<DataSetId>Insert All Required Fields V001</DataSetId>
 
<InsertTime>2002-10-10 13:00:00.0</InsertTime>
 
<LastUpdate>2002-10-10 13:00:00.0</LastUpdate>
 
<ECHOInsertDate>2007-11-21 17:38:27.0</ECHOInsertDate>
 
<ECHOLastUpdate>2007-12-04 20:00:55.0</ECHOLastUpdate>
 
<LongName>Insert All Required Fields</LongName>
 
<CollectionDescription>Insert a collection file containing the required elements</CollectionDescription>
 
<TotalGranules>0</TotalGranules>
 
<Orderable>N</Orderable>
 
<Spatial/>
 
</CollectionMetaData>
 
</result>
 
</provider>
 
</results>
 

Now, what i want to do is to construct an inline XML Doc from this String, and do some operations on the inline doco, like get the value of nodes, get the root

Can any one help me with this, i would be highly oblidged.

Thanks,

-Kamal.

Scroll down to the XML forum and ask for the simplest example of the DOM parser they can come up with. It's a little tough to get just from the JavaDoc because so many things are just interfaces and it's hard to find the implementations. Or maybe that was just be being dense.
