Reading a Flatfile and converting into XML Format

[luckyjava]

Hi,

I am new to JAVA.

I have an input structure in the below format.



Sl.No*Name*Salary

101*Hari*45000

102*Ram*30000

103* * 25000



I want XML format in the below format.



<RecordSet>

<Record1>

<Sl.No> 101 </Sl.No>

<Name> Hari </Name>

<Salary> 45000</Salary>

</Record1>

<Record2>

<Sl.No> 102 </Sl.No>

<Name> Ram</Name>

<Salary> 30000</Salary>

</Record2>

<Record3>

<Sl.No> 102 </Sl.No>

<Name> </Name>

<Salary> 25000</Salary>

</Record3>

</Recordset>



So, basically if I have 100records, it should populate 100 records in XML.



In the above input file, * is the field separator and <NL> new line is the record separator.

Any pointers are highly appreaciated.

Regards,
Lucky

Basically, read from the file using Scanner or use a StringTokenizer to get the values from the flat file, and use some API lik JaxB or Castor or something to get XML (or for this particular case, since there is no much complexity, you could use a FileWriter and directly output XML.
