How can I possibly read / parse an XML doc and store in a Notes database ???
Subject: Do it with that tool: ANDI 4.0 at http://www.bpjl.com
This tool will allow you to automate data integration from xml files to Notes Documents.
XSL transformation is also supported with the tool and XSL Lab allows you to build and test your Style Sheets interactively.
Subject: Is it possible to read XML from an agent ???
Use MSXML, you can give it a url/file or text
MSXML doc.
Subject: No MSXML required, use the NotesDOMParser and NotesStream objects instead…
…so that it works on all server platforms.

You’re right of course. Reason I go for MS is I use it with the url option to fetch from a remote server which for some strange reason doesn’t seem to be possible with the notes parser. I also need a client-server connection with https. When notes offers these facilities I’ll be glad to throw out MS.

If NotesDomParser is not enough why don’t you use a java agent using java classes for XML (like Xerces and Xalan) ??
Using these classes you can do almost everything you need with XML.
Look here for more infos with these java libraries :

Many ways to skin a cat but…I agree, as Thomas said, for platform independence I would have to do something else but what I’m doing is intranet, windows only, MSXML is available on every pc where ie is installed and can be bound into ls with a few lines of code, which I’ve already got from R5, and the rest is all ls. I just don’t need java.
I wouldn’t us ms either if I could just give the domparser a url and get a dom tree back.
