Devsphere XML JSP Tag Library (XJTL) comes with a code builder that takes a sample XML document and generates a JSP page that outputs the sample XML content. You may edit the generated JSP in order to make it more general so that it can output XML documents that are similar to the given XML sample.

Syntax

java com.devsphere.xml.taglib.output.builder.Main    
    -sample  XML_file_path    
    -output  JSP_file_path

where

XML_file_path is the file path of the sample XML file
JSP_file_path is the file path of the JSP that will be generated

Example

This is the Dynamic.jsp example explained in a different page of this documentation.

Command Line:

java com.devsphere.xml.taglib.output.builder.Main
