Subject: need help with editing an XML file using Java
Posted By: Pesho_318i Post Date: 6/16/2006 6:33:20 AM
Hello all,

I guess my question is simple, but I'm not experienced enough with Java and XML.

What I want to do is read an XML file then change some of the attributes and finally output it to a file again. (if possible using the DOM Java parser)

I don't know which Java tools to use about changing the content of an XML file.

hope you know the solution,
Best,
Pesho

Why do you want to do this in Java? The tool for the job is XSLT.

If u dont want to use XSLT u could write a transformer in java that could change the attributes u want in the XML file and then write the required contents back to the XML file . This can be done using DOM or SAX. I have implemented a similar thing in DOM .
