[jdom-interest] use of global variables

[Norrman Per]

Entities, perhaps?
 
<!ENTITY user "some_user" >
<!ENTITY pwd "some_pwd" >
 
<xxx>
    <variable name="&user;" password="&pwd;" />
</xxx>
 
/pmn
 
PS. Note that xml is a reserved name. Don't use it for element names. DS.

Subject: [jdom-interest] use of global variables


Hi all, I am a newbie to XML parsing and JDOM and have what should be a
simple question.  I am creating a Document object as follows:
 
Document doc = new SAXBuilder(  ).build(instructionFile.xml);
 
Within instructionFile.xml I wish to define variables - something like:
 
DEFINE user = some_user
DEFINE pwd = some_pwd
 
<xml>
            <variable name=%user% password=%pwd%></variable>
</xml>
 
obviously this is not the correct syntax (unless I am really lucky) .  Is
there a syntactical way to do this?  If not, what is the easiest way to
parse the xml doc and replace
instances of the defined variables with there values?  Thanks,
 
Dennis
