Thanx dims.
Actually I have to questions:
1.Am I supposed to place the "votes.xml" in somewhere specific? I'm
asking this because when I tried the code you gave me I got a
NullPointerException thrown in method XSPUtil.relativeFilename(...),
which indicates to me that this method is unable to find or read the
file "votes.xml", although I made sure to place this file wherever I
think it's feasible.
2.I didn't really know what is the objectModel Map object for, but
nevertheless I replaced it with "this.objectModel". Was that a wrong
thing to do?
Thank you again
