Thankss...

What have you tried, or -if you haven't tried anything- what were you thinking of using: DOM, SAX, XPath, ... ?

Hi,

I have not yet tried anything, but i have seen DOM parser is more easy, i need java build in library to use this.
I am new to this thing..Thinking of using DOM parser.

Thanks

DOM, SAX and XPath are all built into the JRE. If it's just the data within the value tags, XPath might be the easiest approach.

Hi,

I actually need to Map this XML to a database table.need to fill values in Database table. Thinking this requiremnet ,Can you please help.

So is the problem XML parsing, or something DB related? It doesn't sound as if both are related, so let's stick to XML parsing in this topic. Once you have the data extracted form the XML, and are encountering problems storing them in a DB, you can then start a new topic in the JDBC/SQL forum.

hi,

Yes, i need java code to parse the given xml in jdk 1.4.

Well thats going to be a bad idea. The Java Api for Xml Processing JAXP has undergone a number of changes and Java 1.4 is way out of date. Java 1.4 hit end of life 4 years ago.

You might as well update to version 7 since version 6 is ending also.
