I don't know, because the question is not clear at all ? A minimum effort should be done on the question before asking it.Valentin Rocher– Valentin Rocher2009-05-24 16:51:52 +00:00Commented May 24, 2009 at 16:51

To display a record of html from xml, its called XSLT, which is a stylesheet language for XML,its a way to transform an xml file to display as html, you can use things like Dreamweaver to help you edit and make the transformation.
As oppose to in java; DOM parser loads the XML file into the memory and makes an object model of it. Here is a quick Example on how you can do that.

XML to HTML : use XSLT http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0407.html inserting another Node in a XML tree: * use the DOM API and node.appendChild(newnode) : http://www.javazoom.net/services/newsletter/xmlgeneration.html * if your tree is too large, use the SAX API

String xml = <learn to read file and get it as String>
xml = xml.trim().replaceAll("<","<").replaceAll(">",">");
os.println("<pre id=\"content\">" + xml + "</pre>");

This code snippet may clarify things for you using XSLT and Java (JSTL), just complementing the good links Pierre and TStamper provided you
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml" prefix="x" %>
<c:set var="xslDoc">
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

<x:transform xml="${xmlDoc}" xslt="${xslDoc}" />
Also, there are many technologies for making this in a servlet or a business class, I like Apache Xalan
