Servlets and XML

[kateinseattle]

I would like to create a servlet, which when accessed, will retrieve an
XML file, remotely over the Internet, and parse it to the browser's
screen.

Can anyone point to example code that will help me along?

Thanks.

A bit generic for me.

Could you tell us what do you hava so far?

Cheers,

Hi:

At the moment I am on the research stage - I have a Java console application running, that uses DOM, to parse an XML file to the console window.

I would like to use SAX and have the XML parsing incorporated into a servlet. I was wondering if there are any example code of doing this out in the Internet world.

Thanks for your help

A google search on java sax example shows some interesting results.

If the XML file already exists, just set the content type :

response.setContentType("text/xml");

then load the file into a byte[] using a File and FileInputStream objects, and write it out :

OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
os.write(data);
os.flush();


If you are processing/generating an XML file on the fly using DOM or SAX, then just set the output stream to your servlet's output stream.
