how can i display this xml in browser through jsp

Answer 1

Try setting the contentType to text/xml and then write out the xml file. Sample code:

<%@ page contentType="text/xml" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>    
<%
//dump out the file
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("path/to/file.xml"));
String line;
while((line = in.readLine())!=null){
    out.print(line);
}
in.close();
%>

Alternatively, just redirect your jsp to the xml file or provide a link to it (provided that the file is public).

Answer 2

You could read the xml and render it in the jsp. Note that you should escape special characters like < and > using xml entities or add <br> for line breaks (string replace) in order to make the browser display it correctly and not try to interpret it.

Answer 3

You can also Try DOM and SAX Parsers.
