outputing XML in XSP logicsheet?

[Steven Maring <St...@trcinc.com>]

I want to output XML from XSP code like this:

<xsp:logic>
   String myXML = "<message>Hello World</message>";

   <xsp:content>
       <xsp:expr>myXML</xsp:expr>
   </xsp:content>
...


but <xsp:expr> generates a text node so '<' becomes &lt; etc.

How can I do this?

DTD and relational database

[Matthew Cordes <mc...@maine.edu>]

Hello all, 

I want to make a generic class that will create an xml document based 
upon rules passed to it and a ResultSet ( data from database ).  For 
instance, perhaps I have the following row in Oracle:

CATEGORY	SUBJECT		NAME		ALIAS
Art			Painting	Mr. Smith	smith

and I want to create this xml

<CATEGORY value="Art">
	<SUBJECT value="Painting">
		<PERSON>
			<NAME>
				Mr. Smith
			</NAME>
			<ALIAS>
				smith
			</ALIAS>
		</PERSON>	
	</SUBJECT>
</CATEGORY>	
	
I realize that it is pretty easy to go from my row to xml, but I want 
to make something generic enough I can just pass it a ResultSet object
and some rules and it will spit out the correct xml Document.

Is there a way I can use the DTD to do this?  Or atleast to specify the 
rules?  Also, anyone familiar with Xerces ( Apache's parser ), could you 
tell me how to create a new DTD from within my java code.  This part 
is a litle confusing to me.

Does anyone know of a package that will do this?  (Probably not) In that
case I'm going to try, any suggestions?

With XSP you do this:

String myXMLValue = "Hello World";

<xsp:element name="message">
    <xsp:content><xsp:expr>myXMLValue</xsp:expr></xsp:content>
</xsp:element>

or a variation on that like
<message><xsp:expr>myXMLValue</xsp:expr></message>

Why would you want your xml tags to be embedded in the String variable?
That kind of defeats the purpose of using XML/XSL for publishing?
