xml suggestions

[adiMasher]

I know that all I have to do is look around and I'll find the docs I need, but I like you all too much to do this myself..

So anyone who has been here before may be able to help me out.

I understand the basics of XML, and I have a good working knowledbe of Java to where I don't need help with syntax. What I need is a starting point to reference when I get brainlocked. I have a framework in place already that I can send an xml document to an apache server and it will send an xml document back. What I don't have is anything that will help to construct the xml and something that I can read the xml without doing a string search.... I want that functionality that says &quot;if Element(Success)&quot; or whatever so I don't have to write it out myself to look for the < & >'s

I have been to sun's website and it seems that everyone and their mother is offering an xml package. I downloaded the fall '01 java xml package (jaxp and another) and I've been through some of the documentation. bout as easy to read as stereo instructions.

If I could get a framework of how to create an xml document, and read the elements I would be about 10 hours ahead of where I am now.

Thanks,
Martin I don't suffer from insanity.
I enjoy every minute of it.

There is an XML tutorial on the Sun site. Do a search for &quot;java xml tutorial&quot; on google and you will find it. It gives examples on both how to do SAX parsing as well as DOM parsing and will be much more valuable than anything I or anyone else here could write in such a small text box.
