hoew to call an xml file into another xml file

Upping the points may draw more attention...

Why not use an html page or an HTA to merge the two? (IE5 client side or XSL server side)

I was not fishing for more points (I got enough ;-)
I do not quite understand what you are trying to do, in what environment and I am not sure I can answer (or that one xml file can include another)


Michel

you can do that by using external entities.
In your DTD for the template.xml you have to add:
<!ENTITY try1 SYSTEM "http://www.abc.xyz/TRY.xml">

or if it local then:

<!ENTITY try2 SYSTEM "TRY.xml">

once this done then your template.xml can contain the reference to that entity:

<P> .... </P>
&try1;
<P> .... </P>

1. minimum points are considered 50
2. Are you sure you do not force xml to be a sort of database?

Michel

I want to call a specific part of the XML file in another XML File ...
How DO I DO IT..?
as dmaryakh said ..i am now able to retrieve Full XML file and reference it..But i am interested only in a specific paragrapph of that file and not the full file..
dmaryakh can you help me out..ASAP
Regards
Nitin

With XSL you could extract a part of the xml, but your WOULD have to load the complete ile to do it...

Michel

Do you control the original XML file? Ff you do you might consider making that paragraph (or all paragraphs) to be external entity and the just reference the one you want in your second template.
If you don't then it all depends on the task and tools that you use. As mplungjan said, you can use XSL to do the job. I prefere other (faster) ways to o task like that, by using specialized markup languages s.a. OmniMark (http://www.omnimark.com) which has the fastest parser from them all and 10 years of experience of dealing with SGML and later HTML/XML.
What are you trying to do and where? Is this template is being generated on the server or on the client or does it goes to databse alltogether. Give sm emore details.

I do this in IE5:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
function initPage() {
   if (isError(xmlID.parseError)) return;
   divID.outerHTML = xmlID.transformNode(xslID.documentElement);
}
// --></SCRIPT>
</head>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC" TEXT="#000000" onLoad="initPage()">
<DIV ID="divID"></DIV>
<XML SRC="xxxx.xml" ID="xmlID"></XML>
<XML SRC="yyyy.xsl" ID="xslID"></XML>
</body>
</html>

For other browsers you can transform on the server into html
