Hi I need to parse a large XML file and need to insert its contents to a database. Suppose the xml has the following structure.
<ComponentEntities> <AEntities> Lots of <A> entities </AEntities> <BEntities> Lots of <B> entities </BEntities> <CEntities> Lots of <B> entities </CEntities> </ComponentEntities> Since I need to import this to a DB and there are referencial dependencies between the entities (let's say I have to insert A,B,C in this order) and I can't guarantee that the nodes appear in the correct order, what would be the "best" approach? I'm currently using the suggestion for large files (http://dom4j.sourceforge.net/dom4j-1.6.1/faq.html#large-doc) on the assumption that the nodes appear in the correct order. I was thinking if I could order the nodes with a transformation, but I'm not sure if I can do it, or if it is efficient.
