Thanks for the reply. You are right. <import/> is just a normal tag and from my own schema. I don't expect any parser understand that. I will need to manually load all imported files into memory and treat them as a single XML in memory for navigation. I will have to write special logic to interpret <import/>.
For example, File A imports File B and File B import File C. I want to load File A, B and C together into memory as a single XML. So, can I do this: XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileA); XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileB); XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileC); Will this load 3 XML files into memory as a single XML? If not, as a workaround, I can do pre-process: concatenate File A, B and C into a single File X based on <import/> tag. Then use "XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileX)" to load it into memory for havigation. Or is there a better way? I am curious how Ant does this for its multiple build files using <import/>. I am sure Ant does not use XMLBean. Thanks, Bo On 6/12/07, Jacob Danner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Bo, I'm not sure I completely understand the question, but I'll give it a shot. If you are trying to do something like XmlObject.Factory.parse(<instanceDocument/>); My guess is your <import /> tag won't work as you expect it to because its not part of the normal XML grammar (AFAIK) and the parser won't know what to do with it. Do you know of another parser that works with this? In other words, how are you making your <import /> element work currently?
