Can Resource.getContent() return a Map object directly?

[Alex Chew <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hi, everybody

             In my project, I want to use a query result just like
java.util.Map. But Resource.getContent() just return a raw XML String. Does
there some method can convert a query result into a Map object? Then i can
use like this,

I tried now,
 while (resourceIterator.hasMoreResources()) {
                Resource resource = resourceIterator.nextResource();
//I must extract each value, element and attribute, here. It looks some
stranges and runs slowly
                System.out.println((String) resource.getContent());
           }

I want it can work like this,
  while (resourceIterator.hasMoreResources()) {
                Resource resource = resourceIterator.nextResource();
Map result = resource.getMap();
//then i can get specified value just use result.get("key")
           }

thanks.
alex

Nope, not possible. XML:DB api provides a way to access binary data and XML 
documents, no support for maps.

Why don't you query the database and retrieve only the relevant document fragments.
