XML Parse in JSP

Question

Hi! i have a little problem,
* i have a sync BPEL process.
* i make a database query using a PartnerLink, example a simple table with id and description.
* my wsdl file, i change the type of the result variable and looks like this:
<element name="ROWS">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="ROW">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="ID" type="int"/>
<element name="DESCRIPTION" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
* the return its ok, i try from the BPEL console and it returns a XML, the question is:
How can i parse this result in a JSP file? i have a .getPayload("payload") method trying to change the result to string but it doesnt work for me. The query return several rows and i dont know how to make a recursive loop to obtain each row, if i return the result as a string (the xml transformed in string) and i put in a string return variable of my wsdl can i parse it in a easier way?
thanks for the answers and advices!

NormalizedMessage - result from BPEL process in Java has DOM objects for each message part. In your case message part is "payload". Once you get "payload" you have DOM Element. In Element you have to traverse in order to get your data. It might be not the best approach how to harvest your data. So instead of using DOM objects create XML facade classes for accessing your XSD definition. Use schemac tool (part of BPEL) for generating XML Facade classes for your message types and then you can easily convert DOM Element into simple javabeans.
