Failing to extract xml value using Jdom & Xpath

I have a method (getSingleNodeValue()) which when passed an xpatch expression will extract the value of the specified element in the xml document refered to in 'doc'. Assume doc at this point has been initialised as shown below and xmlInput is the buffer containing the xml content.
    SAXBuilder     builder          =     null;
    Document     doc          =     null;
    XPath          xpathInstance     =      null;
    doc     = builder.build(new StringReader(xmlInput));When i call the method, i pass the following xpath xpression
    /TOP4A/PERLODSUMDEC/TINPLD1/text()Here is the method. It basically just takes an xml buffer and uses xpath to extract the value:
    public static String getSingleNodeValue(String xpathExpr) throws Exception{
         Text list = null;
         try {
              xpathInstance = XPath.newInstance(xpathExpr);
              list = (Text) xpathInstance.selectSingleNode(doc);
         } catch (JDOMException e) {
              throw new Exception(e);
         }catch (Exception e){
              throw new Exception(e);
         return list==null ? "?" : list.getText();
    }The above method always returns "?" i.e. nothing is found so 'list' is null.
The xml document it looks at is
    <TOP4A xmlns="http://www.testurl.co.uk/enment/gqr/3232/1">   
      <HEAD>
        <Doc>ABCDUK1234</Doc> 
      </HEAD>   
      <PERLODSUMDEC>
        <TINPLD1>10109000000000000</TINPLD1>
      </PERLODSUMDEC>
    </TOP4A>The same method works with other xml documents so i am not sure what is special about this one. There is no exception so the xml is valid xml. Its just that the method always sets 'list' to null. Any ideas?
Edit
Here is a running program testing the above:
    import org.jdom.*;
    import org.jdom.input.*;
    import org.jdom.xpath.*;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.StringReader;
    public class XpathTest {
         public static String getSingleNodeValue(String xpathExpr, String xmlInput) throws Exception{
             Text list = null;
              SAXBuilder  builder           =   null;
              Document    doc                    =   null;
              XPath       xpathInstance   =   null;
             try {
                  builder     = new SAXBuilder();     
                  doc          = builder.build(new StringReader(xmlInput));
                 xpathInstance = XPath.newInstance(xpathExpr);
                 list = (Text) xpathInstance.selectSingleNode(doc);
             } catch (JDOMException e) {
                 throw new Exception(e);
             }catch (Exception e){
                 throw new Exception(e);
             return list==null ? "Nothing Found" : list.getText();
         public static void main(String[] args){
              String xmlInput1 = "<TOP4A xmlns=\"http://www.testurl.co.uk/enment/gqr/3232/1\"><HEAD><Doc>ABCDUK1234</Doc></HEAD><PERLODSUMDEC><TINPLD1>10109000000000000</TINPLD1></PERLODSUMDEC></TOP4A>";
              String xpathExpr = "/TOP4A/PERLODSUMDEC/TINPLD1/text()";
              XpathTest xp = new XpathTest();
              try {
                   System.out.println(xp.getSingleNodeValue(xpathExpr, xmlInput1));
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
    }When i run the above, the output is
    Nothing foundEdit
I have run some further testing and it appears that if i remove the namespace url it does work. Not sure why yet. Is there any way i can tell it to ignore the namespace?

It works fine, the problem is not with namespace, it is with url have given.

Found a way to say the program to ignore namespace.
You have to use Xpath.addNamespace(prefix,uri), and pass the prefix to your pattern string.
If not clear refer the below code:
import org.jdom.*;
    import org.jdom.input.*;
    import org.jdom.xpath.*;
    import java.io.IOException;

  • Best way to extract XML value wiith an xpath

    Hello,
    I wonder what is the best way to extract text value from XmlType with an xpath.
    I need to insert a row inside a table where the row's data come from xpath extractions of an XmlType. I do a lot of (approximative 20) :
    EXTRACTVALUE(var.myxmltype , '/an/xpath/to/extract/elem1').
    EXTRACTVALUE(var.myxmltype , '/an/xpath/to/extract/elemI').
    EXTRACTVALUE(var.myxmltype , '/an/xpath/to/extract/elem20').
    inside the insert statement
    Is this way is the best or is there a more optimal way ?
    For example extracting the node '/an/xpath/to/extract/' and sarting from this node extracting "elem1", ... , "elemI", "elemN" children.
    Thanks for your help,
    Regards,
    Nicolas

    Hi Nicolas,
    The answer depends on your actual storage method (binary, OR, CLOB?), and db version.
    You can try XMLTable, it might be better in this case :
    SELECT x.elem1, x.elem2, ... , x.elem20
    FROM your_table t
       , XMLTable(
          '/an/xpath/to/extract'
          passing t.myxmltype
          columns elem1  varchar2(30) path 'elem1'
                , elem2  varchar2(30) path 'elem2'
                , elem20 varchar2(30) path 'elem20'
         ) x
    ;

    Is my XPATH correct?

    I don't know if your XPath is correct or not. Your XML is not well-formed because the namespace declarations are missing. And I don't see where you set the namespace context for your XPath object; that is quite likely why it doesn't do what you want.

    This is what you get for working 12 hours straight....
    I changed:

    to:
    #mydoc["modelglue"]["event-handlers"]["event-handler"][i].xmlAttrib utes["name"]#<br>
    xmlObject is the name of my xml object in memory, and then you reference from the root of the xml doc down the chain.

  • XML Signature using an XPath filter

    I want to sign an XML document, just based on the content of a particular element in the document. Based on the jwsdp docs it looked pretty simple, but I'm getting strange results. I'll get the same digest value in the SignedInfo for different Xpath filter strings.
    Anybody out there have good luck trying to sign XML documents using Xpath filters?
    I'm using JDK 1.5.05 and JWSDP 1.6.
    Here is my simple XML doc
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <myns:whole_doc xmlns:myns="http://namespace.myns.com/test"
    attr1="attr_one" attr2="attr_two" attr3="attr_three">
    <myns:part_one attr="attr_one">
    <myns:tag1>this is part_one tag_one</myns:tag1>
    <myns:tag2>this is part_one tag_two</myns:tag2>
    </myns:part_one>
    <myns:part_two attr="attr_two">
    <myns:tag1>this is part_two tag_one</myns:tag1>
    <myns:tag2>this is part_two tag_two</myns:tag2>
    </myns:part_two>
    <myns:part_three attr="attr_three">
    <myns:tag1>this is part_three tag_one</myns:tag1>
    <myns:tag2>this is part_three tag_two</myns:tag2>
    </myns:part_three>
    </myns:whole_doc>
    When I use an XPath filter = "/myns:whole_doc/myns:part_one" I get the same digest as when I use "/myns:whole_doc/myns:part_two", which is the same digest when I don't use XPath filtering. See example output below
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <myns:whole_doc xmlns:myns="http://namespace.myns.com/test" attr1="attr_one" attr2="attr_two" attr3="attr_three">

    It took me all day, but I did find the answer.
    When using XPath filters in references, you can't use XPath exactly the way you would use XPath to find nodes in a document. I can't exactly explain why, but it has to do with the fact that the XPath statement is acting as a filter.
    Anyway, to just include the part_one element from the following abbreviated XML
    <myns:whole_doc> .....
    <myns:part_one> ..... </myns:part_one>
    <myns:part_two> .... </myns:part_two>
    </myns:whole_doc>
    the XPath statement should be "ancestor-or-self::myns:part_one"
    to make sure that part_one was part of whole_doc you could use something like
    (ancestor-or-self::node() = /myns:whole_doc/myns:part_one)
    This allows me to sign a document, but still allow portions outside of whole_doc/part_one to change.

  • How to get the "encoding" of a XML file using JDOM

    As in XML file, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> indicates the encoding of this file
    while using JDOM to parse a XML file, how can I get the encoding type?
    thanx!!!

    What my program do is to get the encoding of XML files and convert them to UTF-8 encoding files, while I need this "encoding" information of the original XML document thus I can convert...
    After reading specifications and JDOM docs, the truth turns to be disappointed, no function is provided to get this information in JDOM level 2(the current released one), while it's promissed that this function will be provided in JDOM level API....
    Thanx all for your help and attention!!!

  • Creating XML Doc using JDOM... HELP!!!!!

    I've got a constructor which creates an Annotation object ... each object has 4 fields;
    Annotation Owner
    Date/time submitted
    ID
    Annotation Text
    When each Annotation object is constructed it is placed on a Vector array.
    I now want to create an XML Document for the Annotation object on the Vector Array...
    I am using JDOM and have managed to create a simple constructor:
    // Class XMLDocument...
    // This class is a subclass of MooNotes 2 that is designed to construct a XMLDocument containing a particular
    // Annotations details...
    class XMLDocument {
         long docID;
         org.jdom.Document xmldoc;
         * <p>
         * Build a simple XML document in memory
         * </p>
         // Constructor for the XMLDocument class...
         // This constructor will construct an
    // XMLDocument and populate the data fields with the particular
         // Annotation contents.
         // The constructor is passed a DOCUMENT ID and a JDOM document when invoked and it uses this data to construct
         // the XML Document.
         public XMLDocument(long docID, org.jdom.Document xmldoc) {
         this.docID = docID;
         this.xmldoc = xmldoc;
         xmldoc.setDocType(new org.jdom.DocType("html", "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN", "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"));
         org.jdom.DocType docType = xmldoc.getDocType();
         messagearea.append("XMLDocument Element: " + docType.getElementName() + " \n");
         messagearea.append("XMLDocument Public ID: " + docType.getPublicID() + " \n");
         messagearea.append("XMLDocument SystemID: " + docType.getSystemID() + " \n");
         messagearea.append("Document successfully built " + " \n");
    How do I construct a Document to accept and hold the contents of an Annotation Object?
    P.S.
    AnnotationSubmitter is a String
    So is Date/time
    ID is a long number
    Annotation Text is also a String

    Since your constructor receives a org.jdom.Document already, it's difficult to figure out what you're trying to do. I'm also not sure what you mean by a Vector array, but I'm gonna give it a shot. To construct a simple org.jdom.Document (without namespace) I would do the following:
    Element root=new Element("ALL_ANNOTATIONS");
    Document=new Document(root);
    doc.setDocType(new DocType(  ...[your stuff]... ));
    and loop through your annotations objects
    for(int i=0;i<n;++i)
        root.addChild(new Element("ANNOTATION")
                      .addChild(new Element("ANNOTATION_OWNER")
                            .setText(annotObjects.getAnnotationOwner()))
    .addChild(new Element("ANNOTATION_TIME")
    .setText(......getTime()))
    .addChild(new Element("ANNOTATION_ID")
    .setText(""+annotObjects[i].getID()))
    .addChild(new Element("ANNOTATION_TEXT")
    .setText(......getText()));
    In the end this should give you the equivalent of:
    <ALL_ANNOTATIONS>
    <ANNOTATION>
    <ANNOTATION_OWNER>
    Text of First Annotation Owner
    </ANNOTATION_OWNER>
    <ANNOTATION_TIME>
    Time/Date of annotation
    </ANNOTATION_TIME>
    <ANNOTATION_ID>
    1234567
    </ANNOTATION_ID>
    <ANNOTATION_TEXT>
    Some Annotation Text
    </ANNOTATION_TEXT>
    </ANNOTATION>
    <ANNOTATION>
    etc. N-1 Times.
    </ANNOTATION>
    </ALL_ANNOTATIONS>
    Hope that helps.

    Help me, please...
    Oracle version is 10.2.0.3

    Hi,
    If you declare a namespace prefix then corresponding elements must be qualified.
    So, either do :
    p_dt1.existsNode('/wnio:Deklaracja','xmlns:wnio="http://test.epuap.gov.pl/FeResourceServlet/wzor_lokalny/InstytucjaPubliczna/Deklaracja_DT/"')or use a default namespace declaration :
    p_dt1.existsNode('/Deklaracja','xmlns="http://test.epuap.gov.pl/FeResourceServlet/wzor_lokalny/InstytucjaPubliczna/Deklaracja_DT/"')BTW, could you explain what are you trying to accomplish?

  • How do I get values from a resultset using JDOM?

    I am very new to this and I dont have the slightest idea how to retrive values from a result and create a XML tree using JDOM
    Can someone please help me?
    I have the JDOM Parser installed on my machine.
    This is my code so far:
    import org.jdom.input.*;
    import org.jdom.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    public class Display extends HttpServlet {
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest rq, HttpServletResponse rs) throws IOException, ServletException
    rs.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out = rs.getWriter();
    try {
         Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
         Connection listcars_con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Cars");
         Statement listcars_statement = listcars_con.createStatement();
         ResultSet listcars_rs = listcars_statement.executeQuery("Select CarNr FROM cars");
    //Load the appropriate driver, establish a connection and create a statement which is used to execute the query that returns all the
    //columns from the cars table
    Document doc = new Document(new Element("rootElement"));
              listcars_statement.close();
              listcars_con.close();
    //close the connections
    catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
    System.err.println(cnfe);
    } catch (SQLException sqlex) {
    System.err.println(sqlex);
    } catch (Exception er) {
    er.printStackTrace();
    } //closing bracket for doPost method
    } //closing bracket for class definition

    ResultSet object has nothing to do with XML... so the only way to it
    is just read each row/column in your resultset and then create
    XML record based on structure of your resultset - annoying job...
    Also you can try to use tool developed by Oracle which based
    on SQL select statement parses resultset into XML...
