Using Java to produce HTML like a php script

Thread view:

I am a university student using a program that requires updated xml
from a webpage (well, a webserver). Now i know this can be done with
php and apparently quite easily but I would really rather do this with
Java (as the program that will be manipulating the information to be
described is going to be in java if possible).

So my question is are there any tools / apis that are good at
outputting xml in a web page/server setting for java?

Kind Regards,

Mitch.

If I understand your question correctly, you have a program which will
use the HTTP protocol to download an XML document, and you wish to write a
program in Java which will generate this XML content.

One solution is to set up a webserver with JSP, and write your XML
emitting program in JSP.
