Javax.xml.parsers package

I am not able to find the javax.xml.parsers package even after installing J2EESDK on top of Jdk1.3 . Can any one point me to the right place to download this package?
Thanks

The said package is part of Java API for XML Processing. i.e. JAXP
If you use J2EE SDK 1.3, the said package comes with the SDK. So you should find it in j2ee.jar
Maybe its just that you do not have j2ee.jar in your classpath.
If you are using J2EE SDK 1.2.1, you will have to downaload and install JAXP http://java.sun.com/xml/download.html

Problem with JBuilder and javax.xml.transform package

Hi,
My JBuilder 7 can not find javax.xml.transform package. i use javax.xml.parsers package but i can not access to javax.xml.transform. is there a problem or something necessary to do to access that?
Best Wishes - WiseWarrior

Hey WiseWarrior,
your problem is directly related to your jar file in run time. The xml parser jar which you are using to perform transfor is not having the appropriate classes, take the latest version of xalan it has transform package and put it into your class path, it will work.

Package javax.xml.parsers does not exist

When I compile the sample program for xml, DOMEcho.java, or any other xml java program, I get errors on the import statements.
For all the import statements within java.xml.* I get an error message such as: package javax.xml.parsers does not exist.
I have my path and classpath variables set as follows.

Now that the first program compiled I tried another sample program:

got the same errors.

Where can i find this package javax.xml.parsers.*;

i am learning xml. when i follow the examples from sun.
system told me this package not found.
i download the jaxp1.2_01. but i don't see any class called javax.xml.parsers.*;
any help??

if you run on JDK 1.4, you don't need any extra jar.
else, if you have JAXP, then look better, you have the package into it.

Java.lang.NullPointerException javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse

Hi all,
i have a problem by solving an error in my code. The Code is mainly from Ian Darwin.
The code i am running works with j2sdk1.4.2_04. But now i have to bring it to work with jdk1.6.0_13.
The code parses xml documents. With small xml documents the code works. With large xml documents i get the following error while running the produced class file.

I know what a java.lang.NullPointerException mens. But i don't know where i have to look for. Specially i don't know what or where "com.sun.org.apache...." is.
Is there a package that a have to add to the environment? Can some one tell my where i can find this package?
I wrote the code for some years ago, 2006 or so. With the knew jdk1.6.0_13 some thinks chance in the environment. Couldn't find what exactly.
The code has only 215 lines, but some how i can't add it to this Message, because Maximum allowed is only 7500.
Is there an other Forum, which may is better for my question?

NoSuchMethod: javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.getSchema()

Hi All,
In a servlet I have created a SOAPMessage object based on the request received, and when I execute
message.getSOAPBody I get the message:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.getSchema()
I am running tomcat with jdk 1.5 and I am using saaj-api.jar, saaj_imp.jar and Fastinfoset.jar from jwsdp 1.6
Anyone got any ideas what to do ?
Kind regards,
Marco Laponder

Along with jdk1.4.2, Sun has bundled a currently ancient version of JAXP.
So, get a recent version of a JAXP implementation (e.g. with JWSDP1.6), probably contained in jar-files called jaxp-api.jar, dom.jar, sax.jar, xalan.jar and xercesImpl.jar, and add these to your classpath when you're compiling/running.
You're not done yet! Because the old jaxp libraries are bundled with your JVM, the classloader will find them through your bootclasspath, and they will be prefered above the new implementation you just added to the classpath. To resolve this, the JVM creators came up with the endorsed mechanism. This allows you to provide new classes for a list of predefined packages. These classes are already included in the jvm distribution, but are foreseen to be updated. See for more information about the endorsed mechanism: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/standards/ .
So to be short, you also have to make the jvm recognise them as endorsed libraries. E.g. by adding them to the <java-home>/lib/endorsed directory or by setting the java.endorsed.dirs property to the directories which include the new jar files.
Your commandline to run app.class would become: java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/home/endorsedDir;/anotherDir app

Error importing Javax.xml.parsers.*. what should I do?

I can not import the javax.xml.parsers.*.
could you please let me know what should i do?
Thanks

Ummm... the classes of javax.xml.parsers are a part of the 1.4 API (they don't exist in 1.3.x) but if you somehow have got them it's again one of those classpath problems.
How is it? Have you downloaded the package from somewhere?

Exception with javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError

Can anyone help?

I changed a switch within the Lotus Domino environment to allow class loader, but now I'm getting a different error,

This seems to be a classpath problem. You can also use JDK1.4.1
which has crimson bundled with it. So you do not need to do any explicit settings for classpath.

ParserConfigurationException with javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory

Like many people, I am trying to just read in the contents of a XML file. My code compiles in WS studio and I publish it to the server. However, I keep getting a ParserConfigurationException when I try to get a DocumentBuilder from the factory. Below is my code:
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse( new File(XMLFILE) );
Any idea why?

The xmlfile is valid and here is the partial stacktrace
Root Error-1: javax/xml/parsers/ParserConfigurationException

Javax.xml.parsers Parser Failes at URGENT..URGENT.

Hai,
I am using JAVA PARSER to parse my xml file. My XML file is :
<QUERY>SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMP_DATE > 18/10/2000</QUERY>.
My Sample Code is:
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.DOMException;
factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
fistream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
document = builder.parse(fistream);
e=document.getDocumentElement();
curElm = (Element)nodeList.item(0);
return_Value =((Text)curElm.getFirstChild()).getData().trim();
Giving wrong output:
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMP_DATE
Activally, I had to get
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMP_DATE > 18/10/2000.
I do not know what's went wrong ?
Please help me. It is very urgent to my project.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Suresh

hi,
<, >, &, " and ' are XML control characters and do not belong to the data an XML document reflects. if you want to use these special characters, try a different notation, i.e. < > & " or ' as in
<element>this is an <element> tag</element>
sincerely, Michael

Javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException:

Hi,
I have an java Ant task which runs well on my machine but when same task with same directory structure and all files is run on another machine it gives following error;
javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException: AElfred parser is non-validating
if Any one have the solution please reply...
Thanks

What is this "AElfred"? Your ant task on the second machine is probably using another XML parser. Print out the parsers name and try to conifigure the same parser from the first machine on the second one.

Javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser parser() error

Hi,
I've got some code that works fine in the Forte for Java IDE but just will not work when running as a stand-alone Windows application. I think it's to do with the filename having spaces in the pathname?
Any help would be great!

Thanks Jim,
I've installed JDK V1.3.1 and the problem HAS gone away..... However now JDK V1.3.1 won't install on other Win 2K machines.....

Contents of META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory?

I am currently working on an applet that solves Sudoku puzzles, allowing you to build your own in a Constructor and then solve them in a seperate Solver. To do this, we are implementing the puzzles files as XML documents.
I have the code completely complied and on the server ( [sudoku.unl.edu|sudoku.unl.edu]) and it runs NEARLY perfectly, however when trying to access the server to save the xml code, the apache error_log presents this message: "File does not exist: classes/META-INF/services
/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory"
Looking at the Java Doc here it says that the program should look for that in the jars. I am unsure of exactly how the applet is interacting with the server, but typing "java -version" yields:
java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode)Notably, the code works PERFECTLY in NetBeans, contacting the server using SCP and uploading the file and such, so the code doesn't seem to be the problem, unless I need to direct the DocumentBuilder code somehow. This is the code that I believe is causing the trouble (I have tried to include all relevant imports that are in my code):
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
DocumentBuilderFactory factoryBuilder;
          DocumentBuilder builder;
          Document doc;
          Element docElement;
          try
               factoryBuilder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance( );
               builder = factoryBuilder.newDocumentBuilder();
               doc = builder.parse( indexLocation );
               docElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
               NodeList children = docElement.getChildNodes();
               for(int i =0; i < children.getLength(); i++)
                    if(children.item(i).getNodeType() == 1)
                         if((children.item(i).getNodeName()).equals("directory"))
                              if ((children.item(i).getAttributes().getNamedItem("name").getNodeValue()).equals("UsersInput")) {
                                   Node firstChild = findNodeItem(children.item(i), "Difficulty0.." + this.upperField.getText());
                                   Node secondChild = findNodeItem(firstChild, "Level" + this.levelField.getText());
                                   Node thirdChild = findNodeItem(secondChild, (String)suTypeList.getSelectedItem());
                                   Element newFile = doc.createElement("file");
                                   newFile.setAttribute("name", fileName);
                                   thirdChild.appendChild(newFile);
               SshParameters params = new SshParameters("cse.unl.edu", "consystlab","A/tutti");
            // create new Scp instance
            Scp scp = new Scp(params);
            // register event listener
            scp.addListener(this);
            // establish connection
            scp.connect();
               TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
               Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
               DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
               StringWriter sw=new StringWriter();
               StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
               transformer.transform(source, result);
               String xmlString=sw.toString();
            // upload file
              scp.upload(xmlString.getBytes(), indexPath, "libraryIndex.xml");
             // disconnect
            scp.disconnect();
          catch (IOException e)
               System.out.println("IO ERROR7");
               System.out.println(e);
          catch (TransformerException tranE){
               tranE.printStackTrace();
          catch (ParserConfigurationException e)
               System.out.println("IO ERROR8");
               System.out.println(e);
          catch (SAXException e)
               System.out.println("IO ERROR9");
               System.out.println(e);
          }So my question is, what exactly are the contents of the file in the META-INF/services folder? I have manually created this file in my classes directory, where the program is searching. When I place text in it, it appends the text with .class and searches for that file, but doesn't seem to do anything with the file. I attempted directing it to the "DocumentBuilderFactory.class" file that I extracted from the classes.jar included with the JDK.
I feel like all I need is this file to contain the correct content and the code will FINALLY work, but I have not been able to find anything out there on it.
Thank for you for your help, sorry this was such a long message.

Thanks!
Thanks for the fast reply. I don't know if I made my point clear.
I do not want to determine the parser by myself. I want the client system use the default parser, so I do not have the hit of downloading the fairly large parser jar.
However, I want it not to do an empty request to the server for nothing. This turn around time kills an Applet. I want a fast loading applet!
I'll go in trial and error mode, when I find the time next week.
Thanks again, I appreciate it!
