ASHX file and xml extension

[sck10]

Hello,

I have a java applet that builds a graph using an xml file. I can create
the xml with the ashx file, however, the applet doesn't recognize the
extension. What I am doing now is streaming the data to text file, which I
don't prefer since I am creating files on the server. Is there a way to
generate the ashx file using an xml extension or something of this nature?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, sck10

Hello Steve,

As for the XML file extension issue, I think there are two things we can
check:

1. Whether the java applet always force the XML content url to be end with
a ".xml" extension, if this is the case, I'm afraid you have to provide
such a xml file(with .xml extension)

2. If the applet does not require that you must provide a fixed ".xml"
extension for the xml stream, then you should check the code you
programmatically streaming out the content. A simple code snippet that
render out XML content is like below:

=========================
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ClearContent();

Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
Response.Write(
@"<root>
<items>
<item id='1'/>
<item id='2'/>
</items>
</root>
");

Response.End();
}
=========================

Please feel free to let me know if there is anything I missed or anything
you unclear.

Sincerely,
