Re: Newbie merlin/http question (find out about SOAP)

Is not a soap message. But it is very easy to use the SAXP api to parse the 
xml messages and retrieve data. Here is one example.

Observe that the constructir only accept path, but you can add a new one 
accepting a StringReader as argument.

then use: builder.parse(new InputSource(your string reader)).

if you have more questions just ask.


Example-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
package ferra.xml;

//packages for parser
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;

//package for node lookup ... using XPath
import org.apache.xpath.XPathAPI;

import java.io.*;


public class XMLObject {
		private Document doc = null;

		public XMLObject(String path){
			DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

			try{
				DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
				doc = builder.parse(new File(path));
			}
			catch(Exception e){
			}
		}

		public XMLObject(Document doc){
			this.doc = doc;
		}

		public String getValue(String path){
			try{
				return 
XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(doc.getDocumentElement(),path).getNodeValue();
			}
			catch(Exception e){
				return null;
			}
		}
}
