Reading XML file

> the xml file must be put into the localhost or in a

> server. then it will work

Not necessarily dude. Are u trying to say that am not able to use any file (or some XML file) unless I download it from some remote server !!!!

You should have asked to keep it in the resources folder rather if u are making it in Sun Java WTK directory standard. But that solely depends on which tool u are using to make that project.

Many Thanks for all

I do the following:

InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("RR.xml");

and then call function to parse the file after reading it:

parseRssFeedXml(is);

and the declartion of the function as

public void parseRssFeedXml(InputStream is) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException {

/** Initialize item collection */

m_rssFeed.getItems().removeAllElements();

/** Initialize XML parser and parse RSS XML */

KXmlParser parser = new KXmlParser();

parser.setInput( new InputStreamReader(is) );

/** RSS item properties */

String title = null;

String description = null;

String link = null;

/** <?xml...*/

parser.nextTag();

/** Various tags... Wait for the <item> tag */

parser.require(parser.START_TAG, null, null);

while(!"item".equals(parser.getName()) )

{

/** Check if document doesn't include any item tags */

if( parser.next() == parser.END_DOCUMENT )

throw new IOException("No items in RSS feed!");

}

/** Parse <item> tags */

do {

parser.require(parser.START_TAG, null, null);

/** Initialize properties */

title = "";

description = "";

link = "";

/** One <item> tag handling*/

while (parser.nextTag() != parser.END_TAG)

{

parser.require(parser.START_TAG, null, null);

String name = parser.getName();

String text = parser.nextText();

/** Save item property values */

if (name.equals("title"))

title = text;

else if (name.equals("description"))

description = text;

else if (name.equals("link"))

link = text;

parser.require(parser.END_TAG, null, name);

}

/** Debugging information */

System.out.println ("Title:" + title);

System.out.println ("Link:" + link);

System.out.println ("Description: " + description);

/** Create new RSS item and add it do RSS document's item

* collection

*/

RssItem rssItem = new RssItem(title, link, description);

m_rssFeed.getItems().addElement( rssItem );

parser.nextTag();

} while("item".equals(parser.getName()));

}

BTW I get this code which is of RSS project but insted of reading the xml file from url, I read it from an existing file that stored in the src folder.

thanks again
