Parsing different types of XML..

[niet72]

Hi,
I have a XML structure that looks like this:
<TRANSACTION TYPE="A">
</TRANSACTION>

Now, inside this XML structure, there can be different types of XMLs that can be embedded in,that have different Schema definitions and The Transaction TYPE would determine what type of XML is in it.

I am trying to find, what is the best way to parse such an XML, given the only way to detemine the type is using the TYPE attribute and then associating the right XML schema..

I think "parse" is a too vague term. Could you give more details about what you're trying to do?

Cheers,

Well,
I am using JAXB, so the ultimate goal is to processes the data coming in this XML..
Not sure what specfic information you're looking for?

neit..

Do you mean you want to be able to mix-and-match schemas within a single XML document, based on the value of the TYPE attribute of the TRANSACTION tag?

yes that is correct. So inside the TRANSACTION tag, I can get an XML Structure of TYPE A,B or C, and each one has to be validated with its corresponding Schema..and then processed..
