Dbms_xmlparser Oracle 9i: How to parse external DTD?

I have an xml file stored on Unix file system.
This file references a DTD:
<!DOCTYPE myroot ..... "mydtd.dtd"...>
The DTD is dtored in the same Unix directory with the xml file.
I want to use the parse function of the dbms_xmlparser
package but i have some problems.
Do you know which are the steps to do this?
Many thanks
Stefano

No, you are passing the file name as the contents of the DTD. Don't try to overcomplicate things:
return new InputSource(new FileInputStream(customDTD));

How to parse a DTD using java

Hi all,
I want to parse a DTD using java. I need to get elemnets and attibutes in the DTD file in their correct order.
What are the I nedd to download for this?
Could anyone please help me to solve this issue.
Please do favour with me.
Thanks and reagrds,
Sreekanth

You are welcome to parse a DTD in java, but you cannot do it with the XML tools, since a DTD does not follow the rules of XML. (That is one of the advantages of a Schema.)
Although it is not XML, it certainly has repeatable patterns and delimeters, so all is not lost. I'd suggest you read about Pattern, and Matcher objects and learn about regular expressions.

Oracle DB: How to parse XML where element names are non-standard ?

I'm in the unfortunate situation that I have illegal XML that I would like Oracle to parse. By 'illegal' in my case is that there are element names that start with an illegal character, such as a digit. Apart from this the XML is syntactically valid.
Here is an example of the XML I have stored as a column in the database:
<schedule>
    <1stweek>
    </1stweek>
    <2ndweek>
    </2ndweek>
</schedule>Right now I'm doing text search-and-replace on the XML text before I let Oracle parse it, for example replacing '<1stweek>' with '<x1stweek>' and so on. Needless to say this is very slow.
My question is if there is a way to tell the XML parser in the Oracle DB (I'm using version 10.2) to be a bit more forgiving ? ... so that it will accept element names that start with e.g. a digit ? I know that such an option exist in some XML parsers but what about Oracle's and if so how to set the option?
And before you ask I'll answer myself: No, I'm not the one who created the non-standard XML. It is from a third-party application which I cannot change myself and cannot get the vendor to change either.
Thank you.

if you cast your clob to an xmltype then you can search and extract values based on tags.
Heres an example where the table is a clob and value is cast and I'm looking for an existing attribute_name.

Oracle 11g - how to disable the Static Type-Checking of XQuery Expressions

Hi,
I loaded XML files using pl/sql in Oracle 10 suggesfully and now after upgrading to 11g the thing doesn't work anymore.
I believe the problem has to do with the DTD, the xml files structure is not as specified in the DTD. I did get away in Oracle 10 issuing the alter session set events ='31156 trace name context forever, level 2' in the code. Now this doesn't seem to have any effect. When loading the xml file I get the following error message
"ORA-19276 XPST0005 - Xpath step specifies an invalid element/attribute name"
How can I skip the checking as I can't change the DTD's.
TIA,
Kari

DTD Support in Oracle XML DB
A DTD is a set of rules that define the allowable structure of an XML document. DTDs are text files that derive their format from SGML and
can be associated with an XML document either by using the <code>DOCTYPE</code> element or by using an external file through a DOCTYPE
reference. In addition to supporting XML Schema, which provides a structured mapping to object-relational storage or binary XML storage,
Oracle XML DB also supports DTD specifications in XML instance documents. Though DTDs are not used to derive the mapping, XML
processors can still access and interpret the DTDs.
Inline DTD Definitions
When an XML instance document has an inline DTD definition, it isused during document parsing. Any DTD validations and entity
declaration handling is done at this point. However, once parsed, theentity references are replaced with actual values and the original
entity reference is lost.
External DTD Definitions
Oracle XML DB also supports external DTD definitions if they are stored in Oracle XML DB Repository. Applications needing to process an
XML document containing an external DTD definition such as /public/flights.dtd, must first ensure that the DTD document is stored in Oracle XML DB at path /public/flights.xsd.
.... thats all I could find...

Thanks a lot Sir DrClap..
I tried to use and implement the org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver Interface which is based on the SAX2 EntityResolver.
please give comments the way I implement it. Here's the code:
LSResourceResolver Implementation
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver;
import abc.xml.XsdConstant.Path.DTD;
import abc.xml.XsdConstant.Path.XSD;
public class LSResourceResolverImpl implements LSResourceResolver {
     public LSResourceResolverImpl() {
      * {@inheritDoc}
     @Override
     public LSInput resolveResource(String type, String namespaceURI, String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {
          ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
          LSInput input = new LSInputImpl(publicId, systemId, baseURI);
          if ("http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd".equals(systemId)) {
               input.setByteStream(classLoader.getResourceAsStream(XSD.XML));
          } else if (XsdConstant.PUBLIC_ID_XMLSCHEMA.equals(publicId)) {
               input.setByteStream(classLoader.getResourceAsStream(DTD.XML_SCHEMA));
          } else if (XsdConstant.PUBLIC_ID_DATATYPES.equals(publicId)) {
               input.setByteStream(classLoader.getResourceAsStream(DTD.DATATYPES));
          return input;
}I also implement org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.Reader;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput;
public class LSInputImpl implements LSInput {
     private String publicId;
     private String systemId;
     private String baseURI;
     private InputStream byteStream;
     private String stringData;
     public LSInputImpl(String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {
          super();
          this.publicId = publicId;
          this.systemId = systemId;
          this.baseURI = baseURI;
     //getters & setters

DOM Parser Configuration...how to switch off DTD validation?

Hi all,
I am developing some implementation code in Java using JBuilder2005, in which DOM3 parser is also being utilised. Now the question is how to switch off DTD validation (seems its default mode is 'on') so that no validation will be carried out at all even DTD declaration statement is presented in an input XML document?
Many thanks in advance
Frank

First of all, thank you so much for responding, DrClap. =)
setValidating(false) of the DocumentBuilderFactory instance, factory, does not work as expected; it still stubbornly try to seek the external DTD file and fires 'IOException' error in case of no such a DTD.
To follow up the EntityResolver approach, I searched online for almost the whole afternoon but still could not figure out how to do it exactly. In particular, I found http://www.jdom.org/docs/faq.html#a0350, which tells a way doing it, but I got 'StringBufferInputStream is deprecated' error. Then I changed to
new InputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream("".getBytes()))adapted from http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=572919&messageID=2842185. But another error occurs: 'java.io.InputStream is abstract; cannot be instantiated'. Furthermore, I have looked at many docs(tutorials, APIs...) on parser configuration, usage of EntityResolver/setEntityResolver()...but they turned out not helpful. Could you please give out more details on how to do this using EntityResolver?? Many many thanks...

ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing:Error opening external DTD ( Asap)

Hi I'm using domsample example. And I have written the program. The xml file at the starting has this string"<!DOCTYPE MobileInventoryResponse SYSTEM "MobileInventoryResponse.dtd">", from which I'm getting error -"ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: Error opening external DTD".
I'm new to xml could you please help me to solve this problem. I assume this is related to DTD for which I need to set base path. But I'm not sure how to do it? I'm getting this xml file through CLOB which I'm able to parse until an extent. where in between got this error.
Here is my partial code:
l_doc_id := rec_xml_data.id;
l_xml_parser := xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.setValidationMode(l_xml_parser, FALSE);
xmlparser.parseCLOB(l_xml_parser,rec_xml_data.l_xml_data);--PARSING THE CLOB WHICH CONTAINS XML FILE
l_xml_doc := xmlparser.getDocument(l_xml_parser);
xmlparser.freeParser(l_xml_parser);
l_nodelist := xmldom.getElementsByTagName(l_xml_doc, '*');
l_length := xmldom.getLength(l_nodelist);
-- loop through elements
FOR l_rec_xml in 0..l_length-1
LOOP
l_node := xmldom.item(l_nodelist, l_rec_xml);
-- dbms_output.put(xmldom.getNodeName(n) || ' ');
-- get the text node associated with the element node
l_nodename:=xmldom.getNodeName(l_node);
l_node := xmldom.getFirstChild(l_node);
IF (xmldom.isNull(l_node) = false) THEN
IF xmldom.getNodeType(l_node) = xmldom.TEXT_NODE THEN
IF l_nodename = 'purchase-order-number' THEN
l_po_num:=NULL;
l_po_num:= xmldom.getNodeValue(l_node);
-- dbms_output.put_line('Purchaser Order Num : '||l_po_num);
END IF;
from here onwards I get the string values
Now I don't know where to set the DTD basepath or baseurl. I need it asap.
Regards,
Naveen.

The version which I'm working on is 10.2.0.4.

Now if I load the xml file without the this :- <!DOCTYPE MobileInventoryResponse SYSTEM "MobileInventoryResponse.dtd">
it works well. But it gives error when this particular thing is there.

Can't convert oracle.xml.parser.DTD to oracle.xml.parser.v2.DTD.

I am getting the following Error while trying
to compile the SampleMain.java file(Generating an XML document from a given Employee.dtd).
I have set my classpath to use xmlparser.jar.
D:\XMls>javac SampleMain.java
SampleMain.java:65: Can't convert oracle.xml.parser.DTD to oracle.xml.parser.v2.DTD.
main(java.l
ang.String[]).
generator.generate(dtd, doctype_name);

Would you check the java parser version you are using? If using java parser V2, the normal lib name is xmlparserv2.jar.

ORA-31020 when using XML with external DTD or entities

I'd like to parse XML documents against a modular DTD that references other DTDs. This works fine with Oracle 9i. But after upgrading to 11g, the parsing of XML-instances fails and DBMS_XMLPARSER.parseClob produces ORA-31020.
The same error occurs even if I simply try to store XML with a reference to an external DTD as xmltype:
SQL> select xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><!DOCTYPE ewl-artikel SYSTEM "http://www.foo.com/example.dtd"><test>123</test>') from dual;
ERROR:
ORA-31020: Der Vorgang ist nicht zulässig, Ursache: For security reasons, ftp
and http access over XDB repository is not allowed on server side
ORA-06512: in "SYS.XMLTYPE", Zeile 310
ORA-06512: in Zeile 1
How can I use external DTDs on remote servers in order to parse XML in an 11g database??? Any ideas for a workaround? Thanks in advance!

This is my PL/SQL validation procedure:
procedure validatexml (v_id in number default 0) is
PARSER DBMS_XMLPARSER.parser;
DTD_SOURCE clob;
DTD_DOCUMENT xmldom.DOMDocumentType;
XML_INSTANCE xmltype;
BEGIN
-- load DTD from XDB repository
SELECT httpuritype('http://example.foo.de/app1/DTD1.dtd').getclob() into DTD_SOURCE from dual;
-- load XML instance
select co_xml into XML_INSTANCE from tb_xmltab where co_id=v_id;
-- parse XML instance
PARSER := DBMS_XMLPARSER.newParser;
xmlparser.setValidationMode( PARSER , false);
xmlparser.parseDTDClob( PARSER , DTD_SOURCE , 'myfirstnode' );
DTD_DOCUMENT := xmlparser.getDoctype( PARSER );
xmlparser.setValidationMode( PARSER , true );
xmlparser.setDoctype( PARSER , DTD_DOCUMENT );
DBMS_XMLPARSER.parseClob( PARSER , v_xml );
DBMS_XMLPARSER.freeParser(PARSER);
htp.print('<P>XML instance succesfully validated!<P>');
end validatexml;

Can I validate an XML file using an external DTD

Hi,
I'm trying to use an external DTD to validate an XML
file (which does not refer to this DTD). The java docs that ship
with the XML parser aren't clear on how exactly to do this (or
whether it can be done). I'd appreciate any advice on how I
should perform this operation.
Here's what I'm doing right now.
1) The Java file
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.*;
public class ParseWithExternalDTD
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
DOMParser dp=new DOMParser();
dp.parseDTD
("file:d:/jdk1.2/sample/test/family.DTD","family");
DTD dtd=dp.getDoctype();
dp.setDoctype(dtd);
dp.parse("file:d:/jdk1.2/sample/test/family.xml");
System.out.println("Finished with no errors!");
2) The family.DTD file
<!ELEMENT family (member*)>
<!ATTLIST family lastname CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT member (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST member memberid ID #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST member dad IDREF #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST member mom IDREF #IMPLIED>
3) The family.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<family lastname="Smith">
<TagToFoilParserValidation>
</TagToFoilParserValidation>
<member memberid="m1">Sarah</member>
<member memberid="m2">Bob</member>
<member memberid="m3" mom="m1" dad="m2">Joanne</member>
<member memberid="m4" mom="m1" dad="m2">Jim</member>
</family>
4) The output
Finished with no errors!
As you can see, the DOMParser failed to validate the family.xml
file against the family dtd otherwise, it would have reported a
validation error when it came across the
TagToFoilParserValidation.
Any insight as to what I'm doing wrong would be much appreciated.

1) No XSLT commands exist that allow you to embed a DTD while
doing the transformation.
2) You can use the setDocType() method in the parser, to set a
DTD based on which the XML document will be validated. The
parseDTD() method allows you to parse a DTD file separately and
get a DTD object. Here is a sample code :
DOMParser domparser = new DOMParser();
domparser.setValidationMode(true);
// parse the DTD file
domparser.parseDTD(new FileReader(dtdfile));
DTD dtd = domparser.getDocType();
// Parse XML file - XML file will be validated based on the DTD.
domparser.setDocType(dtd);
domparser.parse(new FileReader(xmlfile));
Document doc = domparser.getDocument();

Error opening external DTD 'book.dtd'

I know this may be something simple, but can't get it to work. I have a local (on my local network) dtd file that I'm trying to use for validation on my xml file.
My first two lines in the xml are:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "D:\tmp\book.dtd">
When trying to parse it in Java, I get the exception thrown of:
Error opening external DTD 'book.dtd'.
I checked, and the file has full permissions for read and write, and it is in the directory specified.
How can I use an external dtd file on my local network for my DTD validation?
Thanks in advance!

I do not know how do you pass the JDK compiler.Typos in the transcription process. I was more interested in showing my approach rather than precise code (apologies).
Actual code below - less 2 methods I have not changed.
