Greetings,
I'm new comer to the subject of XML, and the first
book I read in XML is Steven
Holzner's XML Complete. His book is quite
easy to follow, but unfortunatly,
many changes have taken place since it was
published, and I am having trouble to get
started, even running some of the
samples codes in the book.
In many of the java files (Steven used Java
mostly), the following three lines
are present:
import com.ms.xml.ParseException;
import
com.ms.xml.Document;
import com.ms.xml.Element;
Whenever I try to run a file with those three lines
in it, a class definition
not found error is given.
According to the book, there is a file called
xmlinst.exe avail. from
http://www.microsoft.com/standards/xml/xmlparse.htm.
Once I ran xmlist, the microsoft COM
Java package will be installed, and I
was supposed to drag the COM folder into the
Java\classes directory in Win
Explorer so that the Java programs can find the
parser class
easily.
However, Microsoft has reorganized the web site,
and the parser is now integrate
into the VM. I downloaded and installed
the SDK 3.2, JVM build 3181, and the
two class files, but I still get the
same errors.
According to the book, the following major MSXML
classes are used in the sample codes:
com.ms.xml.Element
com.ms.xml.ElementFactory
com.ms.xml.Attribute
com.ms.xml.Document
com.ms.xml.ParseException
Could you please give me some ideas as how to set
up my development environment
so that I could get started?
Thanks very
much,
James
