Hi,
Using tomcat 6.0.0, I am using the following fragment to fetch a
remote XML document:
<c:catch var="caught">
<c:import url="${param.url}" varReader="xmlSource">
<x:parse var="doc" xml="${xmlSource}" scope="page" />
</c:import>
</c:catch>
Using <x:out select="$doc/....."/> allows for fetching of values of
elements / attributes as expected. I have encountered a situation
where I would like to fetch and store the entire document
in a database.
Trying <x:out select"$doc"/> outputs the entire XML
document without
the element names, etc. (i.e. only the content within the
elements /
attributes).
Any idea on what's the best way to achieve this?
Some questions:
Do you always want to store the entire doc or only under
certain conditions?
The page is built to respond to a certain operation, so always.
It seems like the simplest thing to do would be (ignoring exception handling):
<c:import url="${param.url}" var="doc"/>
<%-- store ${doc} in database --%>
<x:parse doc="${doc}" var="parsedDoc"/>
How do you want to store the doc? For example, as a CLOB or
something else?
Quite simply as a text string (i.e. PostgreSQL text type).
For storing ${doc} in the database, you could use the JSTL SQL actions, but
it might be better to just create your own tag to handle it.
