XML Linking !!! Hi,
I am a newbie when it comes to programming in xml, so my doubts can sound stupid.
Anyway, here is what I want to convey.
I have a test.xml file like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE REQUEST [
<!ENTITY cred SYSTEM "/test/credentials.xml">
]>
<REQUEST Name="calculateBusinessHours">
<start Value="06/28/2007 16:53:16" />
<hours Value="8" />
&cred;
</REQUEST>
and credentials.xml is as follows.
<credentials>
<id>bob</id>
<pw>sandiego</pw>
</credentials>
Using this mechanism, the entire contents of credentials.xml comes in the test.xml file(the first one), when I open it in something like Internet Explorer.
I want to access only the <id>bob</id> portion of the credentials.xml file(not the <pw>sandiego</pw> part)... is there a method to achieve this in this file itself??? A sort of selecting linking of one xml file in another.
Regards
Manu
