What is the best way to fetch xml from Teamsite to Java

Hi,

I have some xml's generated in team site which will be scanned by Java and use it for some operations.

I am not sure how to access that xml, or how to integrate team site with java.

Two options I have are

a> Store xml in server and access
b> Store xml in db and access from DB using JDBC.

Let me know if there are more options and what will be the best option to use.

You've provided way too little detail for anybody to make any kind of useful assessment... not to mention, most of us get paid to answer that question.

Try rephrasing your question as "My goal is X and I hope to achieve it by doing Y. Is this a good idea? Are there better ways?" -- where X is a much more detailed use case statement, and Y is a well thought out design.

If you're writing an external job that needs to read the DCRs from the TeamSite server, then look at the javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory class. Start simple and begin by writing something that will read in a simple DCR (that you manually copy to your own computer) and parse it out.

What do you mean by integrate TeamSite with java? TeamSite already comes with java in iw-home/tools/java.

If you want to use a URLTask in your workflow, then you can just write a java URL External Task by looking at the workflow modeler guide.

If you you want to read the xml in a java program totally outside of TeamSite, then you'll need to store that xml somewhere that the java program can access it.
