I have a jsp custom tag that validates a submitted form. The tag builds an object on both the server and client for handling required and grouped element validation. The validate has a child tag that listens for an error concerning it's assigned element and in the event that JavaScript has been turned off it will output the error at the position of the page where it was placed. Both tags support a wealth of options for grouping elements based on conditions and validating against a regular expression.
I would like to make it possible for the end user create an XML file that would describe the form to be validated and save them all of the extra typing into tag attributes. I have been reading through the http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/xml/parsers/package-summ ary.html and http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/org/xml/sax/package-summary.ht ml packages. I have not tried to use Java to read an xml file yet and some advise about how to approach it would be appreciated. In a nut shell all I want to do is read in the attributes for each element so that I can output the client side object and build the server side object to validate the elements of the form. Sorry so long winded. Thanks in advice.
