The application user (e.g., tomcat , fifang , www-data ) must have read access. On Linux:
xmlstarlet sel -t -c "/fifangdbmeta/datasources" fifangdbmetaxml > datasource_fragment.xml Then rebuild a minimal valid file using the skeleton from the vendor’s documentation. This is often a namespace issue. Check for xmlns="http://..." . Your XPath query must include the namespace. Fix by adding the namespace to the root or stripping it temporarily: fifangdbmetaxml fix
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Many systems require a specific DTD or XSD at the top of fifangdbmetaxml . Example header: <datasource name="production"> <driver>com
