Hi Manisha, have a look at "http://sourceforge.net/projects/documentserver/"; and browse the CVS Repository for documentserver/Document-Server/src/de/lehmanns/documentServer/xmlFormatter and have a look at 1) SimpleSqlToXml.java which converts a ResultSet to XML in the Form <row> <entity></entity> <entity></entity> ... </row> <row> ... (fast and simple)
2) Sql2XmlFormatter.java which converts a ResultSet with the help of an structure file to the form <group1> <group2> <entity></entity> ... <group3> <entity></entity> ... </group3> </group2> ... </group1> (Slow but more 'sophisticated') Holger Am Dienstag, 15.
