Hi,<br />
<br />
I have an XML document which needs to be inserted into a database(in this particular case a Lotus DB).<br />
The problem that I am having is that the column into which I want to insert this Document is a string..<br />
so I somehow need to be able to convert the XML Doc into a string..<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any snippets of code by which you can achieve this....i reckon I should be using a serializer in some sort of fashion..but I am unclear as to how to use it..<br />
<br />
Any advice would be helpful..<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time.

inserting XML Documents into databases

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
