Question

the question is how to create this xml file exactly for me to be able to use it in the get function of highcharts? The CSV file is created rapidly but now i want to create the xml file from the back end which is java.

<chart>
  <categories>
    <item>..</item>
  </categories>
  <series>
    <name>xxx</name>
    <data>
      <point>1</point>
      <point>2</point>
      <point>3</point>
      <point>4</point>
    </data>
  </series>
</chart>

Upon request:

<chart>
<categories>
<item>Apples</item>  these two items must be populated from the database
<item>Pears</item>
</categories>
<series>
<name>John</name>   this one also from database
<data>
<point>8</point>    this is the data part, retrieved from database
<point>4</point>
<point>6</point>
<point>5</point>
</data>
</series>
</chart>

I want to create this type of xml structure using a java method or class where i retrieve all the information i need and then pass in into the xml file.
