Hi
all,
Okay...I'm pretty confused at the moment... I have a potentially large xml file
40 Megs (used for importing data). The file has the basic structure of:
<system>
<users>
<user1
attribute_1 attribute_2/>
<user2
attribute_1 attribute_2/>
</users>
<definitions>
<definition1 attribute_1 attribute_2/>
<definition2 attribute_1 attribute_2/>
</definitions>
....
</system>
It's pretty basic...
there's just a lot of data. Sometimes, the XML file will have a
<users> node, sometimes not (the same for the definitions... there are
actually a lot of second level nodes... not just the users and definitions).
The thought is to
use Xpath to select the node (//system/users or //system/definitions).
There are times when I just want the User node or the definition node and don't
want to load the entire XML document into memory (via creating a
DOM).
I was reading about
using the Dom4j's Sax Reader, but can't seem to figure out how to write the
code... Any help is greatly appreciated.
Note: I used the
code in the FAQ, but, honestly, don't really understand what it's doing... and
it didn't work.
Thanks
Doug
