the child node are coming like this USER_ID="testpub2" I have to convert xnode and get the value how to covert xml node? and take the value using saxparser. is can I take the value directly?

Hmm, "How do I write a string to a file in Java" is not very interesting. How about how do you write just the contents of the SOAP body (the <LoginResponse> to an XML file? — Jim Ferrans

The below code converts a String to an XML document. Once you have the document, you can navigate the nodes or you can write to a file etc.

import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;

public class Util {

    public static Document stringToDom(String xmlSource) 
            throws SAXException, ParserConfigurationException, IOException {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        return builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlSource)));
    }
}

public void writeFile(String yourXML){
    BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("outfilename.xml"));
    try { 
        out.write(yourXML);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        out.close();
    }
}

Shouldn't that "aString" be yourXML?

Octavian Helm Over a year ago

Just to give you some feedback from what I've learned. You should not invoke the close method in the try block. If a exception is thrown you end up with an open file. put it inside your finally block as finally gets called even when an exception is thrown.

my node format are not coming properly USER_ID="testpub2" i want to convert xml format and take the value

Thilo Over a year ago

Now, it will not compile anymore, because out is not defined in the scope of the finally block. If Java made finally blocks easier to use, more people would use them I guess...
