Hi,
my app has to output an XML file with the results of the process, so I need to create the XML and write it to file.
It will be a small XML, and I' ve got the DTD syntax.
I use jdk 1.4, and only included libraries.
My question is, should I use SAX or DOM? JAXP? how to link with the DTD?
Examples are welcome.
Thanx!
SAX/DOM/JAXP come into picture when you have to parse an XML file. I don't see its use when you are trying to generate an XML file.
Since you have the DTD and you are the one to generate the XML, why do u need to validate generated XML against the DTD ? Instead, you can make sure that the logic you code to generate XML always generates valid XML w.r.t DTD. (... + an added advantage would be - time saving)
> So you suggest to write a text plain file, not using SAX, DOM, ...?
Yes
> I thought that JAXP could help making/writing XML.
(JAXP) enables applications to parse and transform XML documents ...
Refer http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxp/
Transformation is something that converts one XML to some other XML or format. It has got nothing to do with generation of new XMLs.
