retrieve XML from another server??? 3

[sodax]

I understand the goal of XML and I have worked with statics XML pages.

in fact I wish to know how can I get XML doc given by a partner (external server) in order to insert it on my site with my own XSLT.

XML doc format (belong to a partner) contains news that vairiate day by day, so my problem is how can I get the xml doc and make it works onto my page by updating it day per day automatically.

thanks a lot.

Ask your partner. We have no idea how his server is set up?

If the file on the external server always has the same name, you can use the document() function to insert the file.

For example:

<xsl:copy-of select=&quot;document('

http://www.externalfile.com/xmlfile.xml')&quot;/>

Then, if you are using server-side parsing, the file sent back to the client will contain the new information once it is updated on the other server.
