RE: Extracting information from XML files

[Rick Bullotta]

I is simple as long as there aren't default namespaces in the XML document...<g>.  Then it gets  UGGGLY! ;>

 

Hopefully the W3C will come through with something in XSLT 2.X.

Hi Dima,

 

You can try using org.apache.xpath.XPathAPI:

    http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/apidocs/org/apache/xpath/XPathAPI.html

 

It goes with Xalan 2 distribution, but as you can see it's in separate package.

It's fairly easy to use and sounds like exactly what you want.

 

You can check out Xalan's sample ApplyXPath, which uses this class:

    http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/samples.html#applyxpath

 

Thanks,

Dmitry

Subject: Extracting information from XML files

Hi ,

What is the most elegant way of extracting information from XML files ?

I have XML file which is a help file with a list of topics and etc... I am writing aplication that recieves topic as a parameter and outputs a portion of the XML file with the desired topic. How can I traverse XML files (using X-Path preferably) and search for the desired elements? (in Java ofcourse).

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards ,
Dima Gutzeit.
