QUESTION ABOUT XML

All,

I need some help with XML parsing and retrieving values.

My XML element is as follows

<entity eid="5769562">
  <name>test</name> 
  <address>123 main st</address> 
</entity>

How do I x:out the value of eid , For example 5769562 in this case.

Please help me out.

Thanks

If you've parsed the above XML into a variable named 'xml', you would use
this:

    <x:out select="$xml/entity/@eid"/>

Thanks Siddharth

This example works , where as in my case I am reading xml string session
scope , pasring the string
and trying to set a variable which can be used as url parameter .

This is what my code looks like..

  <c:set var="file" value="${sessionScope.FILE1}" />
    <x:parse  xml="${file}" var="doc" />

    <x:forEach var="entity" select='$doc//RESPONSE/results/entity' >
    <x:out select='@eid' />
    <x:set var="ENTITY"  select='@eid' scope='request' />
    <x:forEach var="name" select='name' >
    <html:link page="/personview.jsp" paramId="ENTITY" paramName="ENTITY"
paramScope="request">
    <x:out select="." />
    </html:link >
    </x:forEach>

Then , I want to retrieve the request parameter in personview.jsp and
continue further.

Please let me know If I have the right approach.

Thanks
satish

Hi sathish,

It would be

<c:set var="xmlTxt">
	<entity eid="5769562">
	  <name>test</name> 
	  <address>123 main st</address> 
	</entity>
</c:set>
<x:parse xml="${xmlTxt}" var="xml"/>
<x:out select="$xml/entity/@eid"/>


Check it out...

Regards,
Siddharth.
