Using a Database with XML
This first example is a series of smaller examples tied together. The goal will be to take the data from the BannerAds table discussed in Chapter 1, “Integrating JSP and Data,” and store the results in a Java XML representation. Once we've stored the data as an XML representation, we can reuse the same data and JavaBeans for different processes throughout the book. For example, this chapter will show how easy it is to apply XSLT and XPath to create formatted output against data from the database. It would be a good idea to add some additional data to this table and to enter a few values for the starttext and endtext fields. Refer to Table 7.1 for the data entry values used in this example.
