Hello and thanks for that.
Attempting to install and Xerces parser, I downloaded
Xerces-J-bin.2.2.1.zip. In it I found the copious install and demos you
talk of as an exact duplicate of the web site! I think to author the
documentation someone simply went into his /her browser and and hit
file-save as! (sorry author).
The reason for my posting was to get installation help that I
could not find from the site. Its 'installation' section does not describe
too much in the way of installation - this section being duplicated in the
documentation from the dowloaded ZIP file (above).
Is it a question of simply extracting the xercesImpl.jar file directly into my
/TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourWebApp/WEB-INF/lib (manually)? What about the rest of the
22.2 MB?!
Thanks again in advance
Paul.

Sometimes it takes a while. You should make all replies back to the list
though (rather than direct back to me). as it will guarantee a lot more
people with a lot more knowledge will at least brush across it. They may
(indeed definitely will) spot the things I'll miss.
Xerces is downloaded from the link I gave you in the last email. It will
come with copious demos and instructions on install but basically what
you'll be doing is taking its jar file (xercesImpl.jar) and placing it
into the /TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourWebApp/WEB-INF/lib folder.
Once it's in there any class or jsp in your webapp which includes the
necessary import statements will be able to access it. From thereon in
it's a case of trawling the demos provided to get the functionality you
want.
However, given that you seem to be focussing on JSP rather than
servlets/beans, it may be more to your use to have a look at the XML tag
libraries. These are means of accessing the functionality provided by the
various objects (in this case an XML parser) from a more simplified
interface. If you haven't had a look around that way yet I'd give it a
try.
Go to http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/xtags-doc/intro.html and see if that's
what you're after. It's still a bit XSLT oriented but
without knowing more about what you're wanting to do with the stuff it may
be a good place to start.
There are lots more tag libs available and a search on google for Taglibs
jsp xml will return enough to keep you going through till Christmas.
Cheers
Tref

Subject: RE: XML parser
Hello and thank's for that. My needs are far simpler I think to
necessitate XSLT. I'd simply like to parse an XML file in a JSP file
(using Tomcat), pull the data from it where I may manipulate it. (I am a
relative beginner to this idea as you may have guessed!).
What must I do to acheive this? Do I need to install Xerces uder
Tomcat? Is it bundled with Tomcat? (4.1.12) Where may I get syntax?
I would really appreciate what you can give me.. My posting hasn't
generated the replies I was hoping!
Paul.

Sounds like you're after the Xerces (parser) , Xalan (XSLT) combo.
Examples abound at the following sites.
http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/index.html
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/
You might want to look at the commons Digester as well
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester.html
Very useful for quick parsing of xml into Java beans... particularly
useful for parsing config files etc.

Subject: XML parser
Hi,
I wish to parse XML using the Apache Tomcat server (4.1.12). I

pont me in the direction of web pages / resources / whatever, where I
can
get my hands on syntax to acheive this please?
Thanks
Paul.
