Here's some jsp code that will parse a xml file and display its contents in a
HTML table
*******************Start******************
<%@ page import="java.sql.*,javax.xml.parsers.*,org.w3c.dom.*,java.io.*"%>
<% //Parse a XML file and print its contents using DOM
String xmlFile = "\\financialpassport\\basic_data.xml";
//create a DocumentBuilderFactory
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
//create a DocumentBuilder
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
//parse the input file to get a Document object
Document doc = db.parse(new File(xmlFile));
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title Here</title>
<body bgcolor="#ffffcc">
<center>
<h3>whatever you want as heading </h3></h3>
<table border="2" width="50%">
<%
traverseTree(doc, out);
%>
<%! private void traverseTree(Node node,JspWriter out) throws Exception {
if(node == null) {
return;
}
int type = node.getNodeType();
switch (type) {
// handle document nodes
case Node.DOCUMENT_NODE: {
out.println("<tr>");
traverseTree(((Document)node).getDocumentElement(),
out);
break;
}
// handle element nodes
case Node.ELEMENT_NODE: {
String elementName = node.getNodeName();
if(elementName.equals("record")) {
out.println("</tr><tr>");
}
NodeList childNodes = node.getChildNodes();
if(childNodes != null) {
int length = childNodes.getLength();
for (int loopIndex = 0; loopIndex < length ; loopIndex++)
{
traverseTree(childNodes.item(loopIndex),out);
}
}
break;
}
// handle text nodes
case Node.TEXT_NODE: {
String data = node.getNodeValue().trim();
if((data.indexOf("\n") <0) && (data.length() > 0)) {
out.println("<td>"+data+"</td>");
}
}
}
}
%>
</body>
</html>
*******************End******************
In the section "case Node.ELEMENT_NODE: " replace records with the tag_name
you want to begin parsing
hope this helps
