    Default How to parse an XML having same tag.

    How to parse an xml having same tag as given below :

    <number>
    <value>12</value>
    <value>14</value>
    </number>

    If it needs to use either Vector or ArrayList then please let me know how to do it.

    What have you tried? Where are you stuck? What did google tell you? How do you want to parse this? As a list of ints? As a single Number Object containing several ints? Something else?

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    I need to use either Vector or Arraylist to hold the values.
    I am creating a class that have getter and setter methods for that value tag. But I don't know how to create getter and setter methods as there are two tags with same name.
    I just want to know the logic.

    Using Digester. I have already tried using other xml that have different tags.

    I am not familiar with Digester. If it's a requirement to use Digester, you might be best off looking for a forum specific to that product.

    If you know JAXB (using @xmlElement), can you help me.
    I just need to know how to set those values to either Vector or Arraylist object using getter and setter methods.

    Well, I'm still not sure how exactly you want this to be parsed. But assuming you want a list of values, I would use JAXB by defining a schema that has a maxOccurs="2" or "unlimited", so the classes generated by JAXB would contain a List of values instead of a single int. Not sure whether that helps you though.

    That I'm not sure about. Can't you just change it to a List?
