I would highly recommend JDom ,http://www.jdom.org, for playing with XML. The developers of this API have really made working with xml, both writing and reading, a breeze. They use SAX and DOM APIs (JAXP and Xerces) as the underlying connector to the XML documents.

I was going to write a SAX2 parser which reads records from a XML file and uses Torque's generated OM classes as the model to put the record data into. After your record is fleshed out, should be as easy as calling yourOM.save() on it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
