How do I create an XML file through a JSP?

I want to have a JSP which allows the user to create an account with password and this is stored in an XML file. I would like to b e able to amend this XML file with future users of the JSP but I'm not sure how to do this. I can do it using a database converting that to XML and then save the user input but I don't want to use a DB this time. Can some body give me an example. It the closing XML tag I have trouble with. I could amend the file but the previuos entry would close the XML file and then the newest entry would add on in effect an new XML file to the previous. Hope you can understand what I'm saying?!
I have a file with:

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication
whith have a the following structure
<users>
<user>
<login>anyName</login>
<password>xxxx</password>
</user>
</users>
the password label must be encripted
accept any suggestion

Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
bingo you have a flat file with the xml
2. Use data binding to do the trick
will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option

How do I create individual xml files from the parsed data output of a xml file?

I have written a program (DOM Parser) that parses data from a XMl File. I would like to create an individual file with the corresponding name for each set of data parsed from the xml document. If the parsed output is Single, Double, Triple, I would like to create an individual xml file (Single.xml, Double.xml, Triple.xml)with those corresponding names. How do I create the xml files and give each file the name of my parsed data output? Thanks in advance for your help.

How to create an XML File for Gantt?

Hi Everybody.
I need a Gantt in Web Dynpro ABAP. I need it for the boss to do a Forecast for Vacation. I Hope this is understanding.
Did Anyone know how can i create a XML File for the Gantt at runtime?
Thanks
MSi

Hi Marcus,
the following link is to the JNet/JGantt developer doco
[JNet/JGantt Developer Documentation|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/lw/uuid/f010ec31-9658-2910-3c83-c6e62904eceb]
included in this is the:
[Schema for XML|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/lw/webdynpro/jnet_jgantt%20developer%20documentation/schema/xml-spy/jnet-schema.html]
You can use this to build XML to represent a gantt like chart.
I did this to build XML to represent employee avaliablity - although we fronted the gantt through WD Java not ABAP - the java applet called is the same (I believe).
Don't underestimate the work required to tweek your data into a decent layout. It took me days.
There may be tools/api to help generate the XML - I don't know of them - I'd look forward to seeing any other replies to this thread from people who have used/built any. An example of a class that generates JNet XML - CL_SPI_UI_JNET - but this does not seem to be a Gantt display.

How do your create an xml glossary file?

Everyone talks about importing the glossary from an xml file , even from one created from Excel. I have browsed until my fingers bleed and watched the tutorials and seached the Captivate files to try and find a glossary root file to work with.
Please excuse my Newb question but how to I create an xml file, specially using Excel (the easiest way for me to set up a Glossary)? Is there an example I can work off? How do I paste the import xml tags as offered in the widgit to such a file.
This glosary file will be imported and used in to approximately 40 modules so obviously I want just one file to work with.
Again sorry for the newb question.

Hi Jeremia,
From one newb to another ;o)
I ditched the whole thing as soon as I figured it out because putting the glossary in to the captivate slides was really clunky and not a neat solution. Instead we are using our custom written background database and having a glossary link in the main navigation menu, a luxury many captivate scorm projects would not have.
However the spreadsheet is a way of writing all the tags needed for the xml code (fill down). Just highlight ALL the cells with all the tags as per the screen shot, copy and then paste in the open dreamweaver page. However, make sure the dreamweaver page is an xml page. You can then use the xml dreamwever page as the import in to captivate.
Because you are copying from a spreadsheet the paste action in dreamweaver will insert tabs between the data of the cell. You get rid of this by doing a search and replace...search for the tab and replace with nothing, effectively deleting the unwanted tabs.
It is highly inelegant but it works.
Hope this helps and does not confuse it further.

SAX: How to create new XML file using SAX parser

Hi,
Please anybody help me to create a XML file using the Packages in the 5.0 pack of java. I have successfully created it reading the tag names and values from database using DOM but can i do this using SAX.
I am successful to read XML using SAX, now i want to create new XML file for some tags and its values using SAX.
How can i do this ?
Sachin Kulkarni

SAX is a parser, not a generator.Well,
you can use it to create an XML file too. And it will take care of proper encoding, thus being much superior to a normal textwriter:
See the following code snippet (out is a OutputStream):
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
      StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(pw);
      SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      //      SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
      TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
      Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");//
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"pdfBookmarks.xsd");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"http://schema.inplus.de/pdf/1.0");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
      hd.setResult(streamResult);
      hd.startDocument();
      //Get a processing instruction
      hd.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet","type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mystyle.xsl\"");
      AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "someattribute", "CDATA", "test");
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "moreattributes", "CDATA", "test2");
       hd.startElement("", "", "MyTag", atts);
String curTitle = "Something inside a tag";
          hd.characters(curTitle.toCharArray(), 0, curTitle.length());
    hd.endElement("", "", "MyTag");
      hd.endDocument();
You are responsible for proper nesting. SAX takes care of encoding.

How to create an XML file from scratch ?

Hi all,
I'm afraid that I will seem dummy, but I think I really misunderstand something or I'm trying to do something that is not possible...
I would like to create a XML file containing the following:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="pl.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE playlist SYSTEM "pl.dtd">
<playlist id="2">
</playlist>I really need to have both the stylesheet and the DOCTYPE declarations... Does anyone know if this is possible ?
To create the XML Document, I am using the DocumentBuilder object from javax.xml package (jaxp-1.2-ea2). I think this, at least, is correct.
To print out the XML document I have tried to use :
- the Transformer from javax.xml package (jaxp-1.2-ea2) but I could obtain only the DOCTYPE declaration.
- the Serializer from Xerces parser (version 2.0.1) to print out the Document I am creating with the jaxp, but I was able only to obtain the stylesheet declaration...
So far I have just understand that there is a difference between Serializer and Transformer (one is serializing, and the other is transforming ;-)), but I couldn't figure out which one would be suitable to produce the XML file above...
I would really appreciate if one could help me with that ;-)
Thanks,
Karau

Could send me an example ?
For the moment I am using Transformer in that way:
     TransformerFactory tfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
     try {
         Transformer transformer = tfactory.newTransformer();
         DOMSource source = new DOMSource(playlistDoc.getDocumentElement());
         StreamResult res = new StreamResult(new File(path));
         transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, PL_DTD);
         transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
         transformer.transform(source, res);
     catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {
         throw tce;
     catch (TransformerException te) {
         throw te;

Thanks

Hi Ganesh,
Directory
The file is uniquely identified via the directory ("path") and their names.
For IDoc files you may also use a "logical directory", which you assign in transaction FILE dependent on operating system "physical" directories.
Outbound file
There you can specify a fixed name for the file,
