It would also suggest you are not looking hard enough.
"You could find or make an xml parsing taglib."
I am trying to find one! Again, any 'direction' from the list, rather than
vilification, is appreciated!
Paul.
There is one in plain sight. I suggest you look around in the jakarta
project.
You may get a flood of email telling you to read up on taglibs.
You could find or make an xml parsing taglib.

Subject: JSP + custom tags (XML)
Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2002 09:50:33 +0800
Hi,
In my quest to be able to parse a 10 line XML file in a JSP
(notice the sarcasm there?) and extract an element value, I have come
accross a few PDFs that talk of custom tags - and for the purposes of
XML,
a taglib directive. In several examples I saw <%@ taglib uri="..."
prefix="tl" %> and syntax such as <tl:parse id=...". Can anyone shed some
light on this please? What is 'uri'? Presuming it was a path to my XML
file I plugged in - <%@ taglib uri="myfile.xml" prefix="tl" %>, hoping I
could parse it and extract elements using <tl:parse id=.... etc.
Supplying
the XML file below, I was given the error in the browser:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: XML parsing error on file /myfile.xml:
(line 3, col -1): Element type "books" is not declared.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<books>
<book isbn="123">
<title>1</title>
<quantity>10</quantity>
<price>$17.95</price>
</book>
</books>
What have I stumbled upon? Am i way off thinking I can use this syntax to
parse my XML file? What is the significance of the error displayed?
Thanks very much
paul.
