Hi!

This is what typically I am trying to do. I am creating a small application which says the employees status, i.e. their name, designation and whether they are IN or OUT.

I have an ‘Editable’ datagrid which loads my XML file. After editing I managed to use the ‘Xupdate Resolver’ component to display the updated packet in a ‘TextArea’ component.

When I edit something in the grid and click the ‘Show Updates’ button it displays the updates something like this

\<?xml version=“1.0”?\>\<xupdate:modifications version=“1.0” xmlns:xupdate=“[http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate](http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate)” transID=“IID52442738647:Fri Feb 27 11:43:47 GMT-0600 2004”\>\<xupdate:update select="/datapacket/row[@id=‘1’]/@Status" opID=“IID31984007685”\>OUT TO LUNCH\</xupdate:update\>\<xupdate:update select="/datapacket/row[@id=‘1’]/@Name" opID=“IID31984007685”\>George\</xupdate:update\>\</xupdate:modifications\>

I want this update to happen in my original XML file. Is it possible to do it without server side scripting? If not what should I do. Kindly help me out.

Thanks
