Sounds like you need a tutorial or three. I think there are some good books out there, but since I tend to learn by reading standards, I can't tell you what they are. You could try a Google search for "DOM tutorial", "SAX tutorial", or maybe just "XML tutorial".
You can also take a look at the sample applications. They don't put anything in a database, but they demonstrate various parsing and writing techniques. Note that XML is simple on the surface, but it's actually quite rich and complex, so be prepared to spend some time getting up to speed. It relies on other technologies like Unicode for the representation of text and has a whole array of stuff built on top of it (XML Schema, XSLT, Xpointer, Xlink to name a few, of which Xerces implements only Schema). -----Original Message----- From: Seshu Madabushi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 9:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Newbie Question I am new to XML world and trying to build a demo app using xerces.
