Hello,
as Ajith mentioned in his reply, to check DOMAPI as solution to your query.
I would simply add to it by saying u can use:
NodeList list = doc.getElementsByTageName("Menu");
to each Menu object u can then ask for its childNodes i.e.
NodeList children = Menu.getChildNodes();
Hope this helps,

I'm new to XML processing in Java and I need some help. I have following XML file that I want to extract a vector of store object from:
<CHAINS>
--<STORE>
----<LOCATION>USA</LOCATION>
----<REVENUE>120000</REVENUE>
----<MENU>
------<ITEM>Big Burger</ITEM>
------<ITEM>Taco Salad</ITEM>
------<ITEM>Huge Drink</ITEM>
----</MENU>
--</STORE>
--<STORE>
----<LOCATION>CAN</LOCATION>
----<REVENUE>90000</REVENUE>
----<MENU>
------<ITEM>Big Burger</ITEM>
------<ITEM>French Toast</ITEM>
----</MENU>
--</STORE>
--<STORE>
----<LOCATION>JPN</LOCATION>
----<REVENUE>150000</REVENUE>
----<MENU>
------<ITEM>Big Burger</ITEM>
------<ITEM>Taco Salad</ITEM>
------<ITEM>Miso Soup</ITEM>
------<ITEM>Sushi Salad</ITEM>
------<ITEM>Huge Drink</ITEM>
----</MENU>
--</STORE>
.
.
.
</CHAINS>
How do I go about doing this? I was able to retrieve locations and revenues from it somehow and built a vector of store object, but I couldn't figure out how to retrieve Menu items (Menu items are different from location to location). I hope there is easier way to getting store object. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
Since XML-RPC provides features that are pretty much similar to CORBA i.e. any object can make method calls on any object residing on any server that supports xml-rpc, does CORBA have any plugability to support xml-rpc or SOAP.
Thanx

Why dont u use XSL as XSL syantax is implemented in XML lingo and also u have a lot more flexiblity then CSS because CSS is just display where as XSL can also be use to modify the XML file,
and generate the o/p in whatever format u want i.e. u can generate a WML o/p html o/p or other XML file.
XSL provides a lot of flexiblity and looks to be easier as compared to CSS.
Hope this info helps.

I am in the process of designing a system for an insurance company. This insurance comapany has number of products for their different types of customers.
We need to design our application in such a way that the system should be flexible enough so that the new products could be added without having to make lot of changes in the existing system.
We plan to have a css (cascading style sheets) for the front end for each of these products and some generic methods which would the processing at the back.
Is there a better way of doing this using XML technology? Please let me know.

Hey,
by question i meant the programming Assignment and the not 2nd part of the exam i.e. answering the design questions.
Hope to hear from ya,

The exam is to make sure that whether you are the person who has done the assignment. U Really don't need to bother about the question. U are given two hrs to complete the written exam. Which is too much for five questions. Believe me, u really don't need to worry about the exam...
Best of luck

Hi,
I am planning to appear for developer certification exam pretty soon. Is it possible for u to post the exact programming assignment that u obtained from SUN ?
If its against the rules of Java Ranch to post exact questions can u forward me the same via e-mail ?
Thanx

Hi all,
Does XML-RPC call support name spaces and Schemas ?
In a XML RPC call, if I have to ship an object to a server so that server can extract that info from the received object, do some computation and send back a different object..
how can i do so ?
Hope to hear from u.

Hi Ajith,
The solution which u have mentioned works. I am reading a book which mentioned abt plugablity of Parsers into Jaxp by using Factories i.e. each vendor specific Parser that u wanna plug into JAXP should have a special Factory class and i need to have a special JAXP pacakage in that vendor specific parser....and as of now only xerces has that JAXP plugablity. I never this soln existed.
Where can I find the documentation for this plugablity options. I just wanna preserve it for future use.
Thanx for ur help..
amit

Checkout Java Tutorial section on System properties for an excellent introduction to how and when the properites can be used.
JAXP uses "org.xml.sax.parser" as key for SAX Parser class name.
You can use the System properties to tell JAXP to use a specific SAX/DOM parser. You can either tweak the properties file externally or inside your program. Here's an example -
[b]System.setProperty ("org.xml.sax.parser","<QualifiedpathToYourParser>");
Hope that helps!

How Can i configure JAXP's SAXParserFactory class to use IBM's parser with ?
Which parsers other than Xerces provide plugablity into JAXP?

Thanx,

Hi,
Books like XML in nutshell from O'Reilly press and XML and Java by Brett McLaughlin are good books for begineers and developers.
Thanx
Can anyone suggest a good beginner's XML Book for a person with Java experience??
Thanks,[/B]

Hi,
I think, the answer for the fist question should be SAX parser, because question specificaly mentinons, Memory may be a constraint and DOM parsers are heavy on memory when XML documents are very large.
As u know, the DOM parser builds the DOM tree (in memory) for the entire XML document before parsing it. Hence for a large XML document performance of the application would be hit badly if a DOM parser is used.
For 2nd question a seems to be an approporiate choice because it mentions that document is to be processed sequentially and only SAX parsers have this feature.
Hope this helps,
amit

4.There is XML data document which is very large. The application is to extract the very few of its information from document. The memory & speed may be a constraint. Which is the most likely method to be implemented?
a) Extract the information using SAX API, event based methods.
b) To extract the information using DOM API.
c) To extract the necessary information and process using XSLT.
d) To use schema based approach.
Answer:b
Can someone tell me why a is not correct?
11. Use of SAX based parser is most likely to be used in which of the following scenarios?
a) You want to process the document in a sequential order only.
b) The documents is very large.
c) When there is no need to validate XML documents.
d) The parser implements only SAX based approach.
Answer:a
I think b is also OK.

Thanks
