I have been searching for several hours for a basic JSTL answer with no
luck. From what I can tell, JSTL is under the umbrella of Tomcat.
Hopefully someone can help me out.
I simply want to use an existing already-parsed DOM (org.w3c.dom.Document
variable) with JSTL XML tags. In other words, I want to skip the x:parse
step and just tell x:out and all of the other x tags to pull data from my
pre-existing pre-parsed DOM:
Document myDOM; // already built by another part of the code
I understand basic xpath stuff. But I'm not sure how to tell it to use a
standard local java variable for the DOM.
I've tried <x:out select="$myDOM/aaaaa/bbbbb"/> and <x:out
select="${myDOM}/aaaaa/bbbbb"/>
Both give me errors that seem to say it doesn't find a DOM.
Every example I can find always assumes I want to start with a true
non-parsed XML document.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. But can someone please help me out
with the correct syntax?
Thanks.
Jerry
