Is it possible to write a little Javaa program which parses a xml file from my web hosting site and updates this file? Or is there a better alternative to do so? I have to update the file every 10 min with about 10 lines of code each, so I don’t want to write it out every time.
You can write little java program. BTW you can write a bigger one two :).
You can write program using any language you want. Including Java.
The program written in any language can parse XML.
Well, now we arrived to the problem. What do you mean when you say that you wish to parse XML from the web site? Does your web site provides URL that allows to download the XML? In this case you can download it (e.g. using HTTP GET method) and parse.
The next problem is how to update the XML on the site. You have to provide such functionality on site itself (e.g. implement service that is able to receive the XML and store it. For example via HTTP GET.
Once you are done you can write truly little java program that downloads the file using HTTP GET, parses it, creates new one and the sends it back to the site using HTTP POST.
