Hi guys.... i am creating one xml file in a jsp file. after creation when i try to open the file it is showing error. the error is it is writing to the file in such a manner.. for eg. if i write jayakumar the program writes into the file as j a y a k u m a r it is adding spaces inbetween characters. because of that when i write <?xml version="1.0"?> it is adding as < ? x m l v e r s i o n = " 1 . 0 " ? > so the browser is unable to recognize it as xml file... any suggestions are welocme Thanks in Advance Jayakumar __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
