   RE: [xml-dev] Appending XML to File

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Use parsed external entities.

The document never changes and reads

<log>
  &data;
</log>

The data file contains the records:

<entry>...</entry>
<entry>...</entry>
<entry>...</entry>
<entry>...</entry>

and you can append to it any time you like.

This is about the only time I ever use external entities.
