Hi Bo, This will not work as a new XmlObject (think xml instance) is created on each call.
XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileA); XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileB); XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileC);
If you concatenate into one instance that should work. -Jacob Danner On 6/12/07, Bo Wen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanks for the reply. You are right. <import/> is just a normal tag and from my own schema. I don't expect any parser understand that. I will need to manually load all imported files into memory and treat them as a single XML in memory for navigation. I will have to write special logic to interpret <import/>. For example, File A imports File B and File B import File C. I want to load File A, B and C together into memory as a single XML. So, can I do this: XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileA); XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileB); XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileC); Will this load 3 XML files into memory as a single XML? If not, as a workaround, I can do pre-process: concatenate File A, B and C into a single File X based on <import/> tag. Then use "XmlObject.Factory.parse(FileX)" to load it into memory for havigation. Or is there a better way? I am curious how Ant does this for its multiple build files using <import/>. I am sure Ant does not use XMLBean.
