JAVA-SAX-Xml how to get simple tag element names to a list
Hi all,
i have a xml file
<booK>
<name>book1</name>
<price>100</Price>
<author>
<aname>name1</aname>
<city>city1</city>
</author>
</book>
i need to get the simple tag names(here it is name,price,aname,city) in to a list i have heard about SAX parser event driven it walks throgh the xml step by step when a new tag occurs it will parse etc....
but i am unable to get the only sampletag names into a Arraylist
i have heard about a method getElementBytagName()
i dont want to write a code for particular xml because later on i have to retrive same simple tags from another xml say employee.xml
please provide a generic code which will retrive the simple tag names and stores into a Arraylist
the real xml i want to store only simple elements into array list
