Hi ,

Please let me know if I can create XML using Xpath list and run time values for those elements and how can i use XSL as starting point for this task. Also I want to create this xml from scratch.(empty document).

Thank you.

You haven't made yourself at all clear. It would help to give sample input and desired output. XPath is normally used for reading XML, not for writing it.

Hi,

I have map of xpath and corresponding text values.
So I want to use the xpath as key to get values from map and also use that xpath in node creation. Is there any API that I can use in Java to create nodes directly by passing xpath string?
like - domDoc.createElement(xPathString,value);

sample HashMap:

{
/rootNode/mainNode/element1 = "element1 text",
/rootNode/mainNode/element2 = " ",
/rootNode/mainNode/element2/element3 = "element3 text",
---and so on
}

After creating these elements I want to match them with XSL and output final XML document. So how this matching of Xptah in XSL could be done ?

The final output will be like:

<rootNode>
<mainNode>
<element1>element1 text </element1>
<element2>
<element3>element3 text</element3>
</element2>
</mainNode>

---- other mainNodes with different text values
</rootode>

Also there will be multiple mainNode s with different run time values for the elements.

Or is there a way to match XSL with Xpath and generate final elements as per XSL directly , instead of first creating them and again outputting in sequence specified in XSL.

Thank you.

There is a similar question posted here which I think might help, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6...ent-node-value

Let me know if it helps, you could also try using an xml editor to see if that helps your workflow, it's fairly good for validation of your xsd or xml file as well.
