Of course not. No one is forced to use XML.
But it is still recomended to use a standard data format as a transport
protocol.
The need to interact with other applications maybe isn't neccesary today but
I promise
you that if you dont prepare for it then it definately is required tomorrow
or more probable
already this afternoon, all drived from Murphy's rules of software
engineering. :)

The usage of DOM isn't that complex. It can be divided into the following 3
steps:

1/ Create a DOM document by either loading it from a file/stream/memory or
create it from scratch.

2/ Read and/or manipulate it using DOM interface member functions.

3/ Store the document to file/stream/memory again. This is the tricky part
because the serialization API for DOM isn't specified yet. If you are using
Xerces then take a look at the DOMPrint example and modify it to your need.

Hope this helps out.

Subject: Do we need XML always


Hi everyone

I went thru the FAQ but unable to get my reply.

I am new to XML. I have an application which is a web based solution for
keeping a record of production and sales for one organization only.
Do I need to use XML, since I am not interacting with any other
organization. I am using JSP,Servlets,EJB,Oracle as database ,HTML.
My Oracle database to store information and jsps to display dynamic HTML

Thanks
vikas
