How to search xml file data based on the given keyword from html form

Question

hi,
i'm new to XML. I have this problem regarding searching within a XML file.
the
idea is that my search will be based on the keyword entered
in
by the user from a HTML form. the keyword is then used to search all
the
question nodes and the choice nodes within a XML file. once the match
is
found, i will have to display the results.
But i don't know how to do so - especially the part of searching xml file.
Can
anyone help me in this? Your help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

yeah.. what i was trying to do is
i have one xml fine. then i have to read all the tag values say
<book>
<title>Java</title>
<author>agarwal</author>
<price>200</price>
</book>
<book>
<title>Xml</title>
<author>saxmann</author>
<price>300</price>
</book>
i can read the tag values like this
File file = new File("dom.xml");
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(file);
NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName"book");
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i);
NodeList title = element.getElementsByTagName("title");
Element line = (Element) title.item(0);
what i want is i may give any xml file
like File file = new File("xxx.xml");
(it may be one level/two level/3level tagged one)
then the i should read all the tag values and store them in some array. Then when i enter some character from keyboard (say "a") then it has to show all the tag values starts with "a" and display them.
i guess u understand my problem.
