XML using JSP 1

[devendrap]

Hi,

I am very new to JSP. Can you please let me know, How can we add/delete XML file records using JSP in Unix machine?

Thanks,
Dave

Do you mean delete the xml files on a server, or edit the actual <elements> ?

If the first, use some embedded Java code -

 new File("myfile.xml").delete();

.

If the second, you need to look at a DOM and SAX API -

http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/package-summary.html

You will then be able to parse the XML, and then build a DOM from it, and manipulate it from there.

The Sun tutorial for JAXP will give you some examples of how to parse XML documents using Java ..
