Hi guys,
I need some help, I developing a project that uses XML and applets. For
this I need reference codes which could generate applets automatically
from the XML document. Please suggest me the links that has similar
codes. If possible please suggest me the possible codes for the XML
parsing other than SAX parser classes.
Thank you in advance

Since I have nothing to add on automatic code
generation (no experience) I will comment only
on the applets in asking..

Why applets, rather than applications?
(An application can provide almost anything
that an applet can provide, and very much
more.)

my friends suggested that it's easy to embbed an applet into the
webpage that is created by JSP so i prefer using applets rather than
application even if an application does the same
functionality(automatic generation) can i get some coding example for
reference.

I'm afraid your friend is wrong. Applets are more
effort to develop and deploy (in a way so they work),
and a *web* *start* application is much easier for the
end user.

I stressed web start because it is a very different
user experience to a conventional application, very
'slick and easy'. Here are some simple examples..

But I am not sure my original understanding of
your problem was correct. As I understnad you now,
you simply need to parse some XML and present
GUI elements to represent the nodes.

Here is an example..

roups.com>
..note that applet is actually parsing a very specialised
(very strict) form of HTML, but the process was actually
designed for *XML*.

Is that close to what you need?

the Applet has to generate cascading popup menu from the XML document.i
require the child nodes to be the menu items and not the details.please
send me any details regarding to this requirement.
sorry for my english i'm not a native speaker so bear with me
