Thanks Jacob! So there is no way to parse multiple XMLs through XMLBean and I have to concatenate them. It would be nice if XMLBean could do that.

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.
