Re: convert string to xml record

Hi,

First, thank all who helped me on this topic. After reading your
suggestions and search the archive and the web, I finally find the solution
although may not be the best one. Just to share with everyone. The original
codes I found is on this site:

http://download-west.oracle.com/otndoc/oracle9i/901_doc/appdev.901/a88894/adx04xsl.htm

This is what I did. I downloaded the xml parser package from oracle site
and use their DOMParser package and here is my java method used to parse
the string:

import java.util.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import java.io.StringReader;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.*;

   public static NodeList parseXml (String s) {
        DOMParser d = new DOMParser();
        try {
                d.parse( new StringReader(s) );
                return ((XMLDocument)d.getDocument()).selectNodes("/");
        } catch (Exception e) {
                return (new XMLDocument()).getChildNodes();
        }
   }

Hope this will help someone.
