Read up on SAX parsers, in the JAXP documentation, which is part of
the JEE documentation.
In this case the XML file is only virtual. It is constructed by your
code in the form of SAX parser events. This is a fairly basic manner
to do things. I do not know the other suggestions such as Velocity

Thanks Simon, as per your comment i need to parse the Temp.xml (which
contains the placeholder) using SAX and read the data from the resultset.
But how can I merge or append the data reed from DB to the Temp.xml.
Once i merge the data in place of the placeholder, the temp.xml should look
like:-
You can use SAX. Your app implements SAXParser and emits SAX events:
contentHandler.startElement('header');
contentHandler.text('Sample Header');
etc. Similarly for your data from the DB. For example, read the
ResultSet, and emit the appropriate SAX events. The total picture is
then:
data (SAXPa
Thanks Martin, how to fill the data from the database for the placeholders
in temp.xml? Is it the data or the ResultSet needs to be converted to a XML
format. My question is ,similar to Jasper reports is there any API (eitheir
DOM or FOP) which takes the ArrayList (contains the data from DB) usi
This isn't, strictly speaking, a FOP issue, but since I have to do
something similar, I'll share my experience with you:
You have (at least) two options:
You can read your empty temp.xml file into a DOM, then manipulate the
DOM to fill in data from the database. I don't like this option. What
