Parse XML with SAX

Hi all, I have the folow xml file:
<n>
<q>
<r></r>
<r></r>
</q>
</n>
How can I make, that automaticli show me the elements of a tree?
for Example:
n includes r,r,q
q includes r,r
r includes r
r includes r
That I can show the Elements of all Trees?
Thanks verry much.

Read this tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.2/tutorial/doc/index.html
It has some examples like that. If I knew what you wanted when you said "show" I could be more specific.

How to Parse XML with SAX and Retrieving the Information?

Hiya!
I have written this code in one of my classes:

          GameContentHandler gameCH = new GameContentHandler();
          try

               saxParser.parse(recentFiles[0], gameCH);
          catch(javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException e)

I have tried so many things in the startElement() method that I can't actually remember what I've tried and what I haven't! If you need to know, the Game class instantiates with asnew Game(int gameID)and the rest of the variables are public.
Please help someone...

OK, how's this?
public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qualifiedName, Attributes atts) throws SAXException
          current = "";
     public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qualifiedName) throws SAXException
          try
               if(qualifiedName.equals("Game") || qualifiedName.equals("Database"))
                    {return;}
               else if(qualifiedName.equals("gameID"))
                    {games.add(new Game(Integer.parseInt(current)));}
               else if(qualifiedName.equals("name"))
                    {games.get(games.size()-1).name = current;}
               else if(qualifiedName.equals("publisher"))
                    {games.get(games.size()-1).publisher = current;}
               etc...
               else
                    {System.out.println("ERROR - Qualified Name found in xml that does not exist as databse field: " + qualifiedName);}

Problem parsing XML with schema when extracted from a jar file

I am having a problem parsing XML with a schema, both of which are extracted from a jar file. I am using using ZipFile to get InputStream objects for the appropriate ZipEntry objects in the jar file. My XML is encrypted so I decrypt it to a temporary file. I am then attempting to parse the temporary file with the schema using DocumentBuilder.parse.
I get the following exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element '<root element name>'
This was all working OK before I jarred everything (i.e. when I was using standalone files, rather than InputStreams retrieved from a jar).
I have output the retrieved XML to a file and compared it with my original source and they are identical.
I am baffled because the nature of the exception suggests that the schema has been read and parsed correctly but the XML file is not parsing against the schema.
Any suggestions?
The code is as follows:
public void open(File input) throws IOException, CSLXMLException {
    InputStream schema = ZipFileHandler.getResourceAsStream("<jar file name>", "<schema resource name>");
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder builder = null;
    try {
      factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
      factory.setValidating(true);
      factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA);
      factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE, schema);
      builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
      builder.setErrorHandler(new CSLXMLParseHandler());
    } catch (Exception builderException) {
      throw new CSLXMLException("Error setting up SAX: " + builderException.toString());
    Document document = null;
    try {
      document = builder.parse(input);
    } catch (SAXException parseException) {
      throw new CSLXMLException(parseException.toString());
    }

I was originally using getSystemResource, which worked fine until I jarred the application. The problem appears to be that resources returned from a jar file cannot be used in the same way as resources returned directly from the file system. You have to use the ZipFile class (or its JarFile subclass) to locate the ZipEntry in the jar file and then use ZipFile.getInputStream(ZipEntry) to convert this to an InputStream. I have seen example code where an InputStream is used for the JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE attribute but, for some reason, this did not work with the InputStream returned by ZipFile.getInputStream. Like you, I have also seen examples that use a URL but they appear to be URL's that point to a file not URL's that point to an entry in a jar file.
Maybe there is another way around this but writing to a file works and I set use File.deleteOnExit() to ensure things are tidied afterwards.

Can I parse non-wellformed XML with SAX at all?

Hi all,
i was wondering whether its possible at all to parse XML that is not well formed with SAX.
e.g. A HTML file that doesnt close tags and stuff like that.
I tried implementing the fatal() method of the Handler in a a way that it consumes the exception but does not rethrow it.
Also I tried setting the validation property to false. Both with no success.
Any help would be appriciated.
thx
philipp

Your experiments tell you the answer.
If you have HTML tag soup, why not just run it through JTidy or HTMLTidy to make it into well-formed XHTML?

How to parse XML using SAX Parser sequencially

I have a requirement to parse XML file sequencially. But I need to stop the parsing in-between for doing some processing.
Let me explain with example
I have a file with following structure.
<InputFile>
<Invoice>
     <InvoiceNo = "Inv1"/>
<InvoiceDt = "12012002"/>
</Invoice>
<Invoice>
     <InvoiceNo = "Inv2"/>
<InvoiceDt = "12012002"/>
</Invoice>
<Invoice>
     <InvoiceNo = "Inv3"/>
<InvoiceDt = "12012002"/>
</Invoice>
For each Invoice node I need to process some activites. So I need to write a method which will open the XML file and parse and returns me a complete element from <invoice> to </Invoice> sequencially.
Please let me know whther some body has solution for this.
Manoj.

If you're using a SAX parser then you can implement your code in the startElement(), endElement(), and characters() methods... have a look at the tutorial here:

Parsing XML with DTD residing in jar file

I used Xerces before and it worked fine. I already searched the community for that problem. All hints I found assume that xml file and dtd are in the same directory. Setting the systemId of the input source doesn't fix the problem.
Is there anyone out there knowing what to do?
Thanks,

Parse htmlentites with SAX

I am getting the following exception when I to parse an xml document (as a String) containg htmlentities:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity "Atilde" was referenced, but not declared.for
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><id="123" path="/bjÃ¶rk/">
...the code looks like:
InputSource input = new InputSource();
input.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(theXMLString));
reader.parse(input);Is there a way to make SAX aware of those htmlentities?

Persisting unexplained errors when parsing XML with schema validation

Hi,
I am trying to parse an XML file including XML schema validation. When I validate my .xml and .xsd in NetBeans 5.5 beta, I get not error. When I parse my XML in Java, I systematically get the following errors no matter what I try:
i) Document root element "SQL_STATEMENT_LIST", must match DOCTYPE root "null".
ii) Document is invalid: no grammar found.
The code I use is the following:
try {
Document document;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

Any ideas? Thanks !!!

Hi,
I found the solution in the following post:
Validate xml with DOM - no grammar found
Sep 17, 2003 10:58 AM
The solution is to add a line of code when parsing:
try {
Document document;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
factory.setAttribute("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
document = builder.parse( new File(PathToXml) );
The errors are gone !!!

Parsing XML with invalid URI for DTD

I'm puzzled, as I have disabled validation:
DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
domFactory.setIgnoringComments(true);
domFactory.setNamespaceAware(false);
domFactory.setValidating(false);
My goal is to have the parser ignore the DOCTYPE tag and not try to find the DTD. Can someone suggest how you turn this off - apparently, setting the validation to false is not the right approach.
I'm running Java 1.4.2 on Fidora Core 5.
Thanks for suggestions!

Create an org.xml.sax.EntityResolver and apply it to your parser. The API documentation for the interface has an example of how to write one.
And no, turning of validation doesn't turn off processing of DTDs because DTDs are for things other than validation. Entity replacement, for example.

Parsing xml with dom4j - cannot find jar file

Hi,
I'm using Jdeveloper 10g and tomcat 5.5.9. I have a servlet which calls a java class (ParseXML.java) that trys to parse an xml string using dom4j. A snippet of ParseXML.java...
import org.dom4j.Document;
import org.dom4j.DocumentException;
import org.dom4j.io.SAXReader;
public class ParseXML {
public ParseXML(String xml) {
          this.XML_STRING = xml;
     public String parse() {
          SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
          Document document = null;
          try {
               document = reader.read(XML_STRING);
               } catch (DocumentException de) {
               return de.getMessage();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               return e.getMessage();
               return "The xml root value is: " + document.getRootElement().getName();
} I've downloaded the dom4j 1.6.1 jar and put it on the project class path (specified in the jdev project proerties), and my code also compiles ok. But when i try to instantiate ParseXML from my servlet i get a runtime exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception
root cause
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/DocumentException
     arcims.GetMapServlet.doPost(GetMap.java:45)

     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802I'm not sure if this is a class path issue or something else; i've checked and rechecked the classpath and nothing seems amiss.
Suggestions, anyone?

Question: Is it really necessary to use a
StringReader if my xml document is not saved to disk?
I get XML_STRING from a web service, convert it into
a xml document so i can manipulate/parse it, but then
i don't save the document, i just discard it. How
does my system's default character set affect string
manipulations that i do within my java app?Your system's default charset doesn't have anything to do with string manipulations, if by that you mean substrings and concatenations of strings. It is used when you convert strings to bytes and bytes to strings. If your string contains a character that can't be handled by your default charset, then converting that string to bytes will put ? in place of that character. Converting those bytes back to a string will leave the ? as is. Thus your string has been changed.
Also converting the string to bytes can have bad results, because the first thing the XML parser does is to convert the bytes back to a string, using the charset declared in the XML. If this charset is different from your system's default, then your XML may be corrupted by this process if it contains characters that are encoded differently in the two charsets. The typical example of this is European accented letters like �, which are encoded differently in ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252 (most people's default charsets) and UTF-8 (the default XML charset).
Besides, converting the string to bytes just so it can be immediately converted back to a string is rather wasteful.

Parsing xml with entity definitions inside it

Hello All,
I am trying to parse an xml file using DOM parser which has entities defined inside it for
eg: <!ENTITY sample SYSTEM "sample_data" NDATA sample_ndata >
and we are referring to the sample in some tag as value for attribute. When we try to parse the xml file its throwing saxexception
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: UndeclaredEntity: Entity 'sample' is not declared.

If anyone has faced same issue please help me in resolving the same. Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Thanks DrClap !
Not a problem. Here are the first lines of the file. Note the first node follows directly after the first line, which is the XML declaration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<result status="ok">
<stuff blah="omgwtflmao">
...etc
Also, thanks for pointing out what you did. I should have noticed the first line in the JDOM FAQ that said "even if the validator is turned off".
So... assuming my validator isn't turned off !?

Parsing xml with namespaces

Hi
I have to parse a xml file with 2 namespaces.
The file looks like as follows
<AA xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/">
<BB xmlns="">
<Id>262</Id>
<Time>2011-03-10T13:55:00.000-06:00</Time>
<Indicator>true</Indicator>
</BB>
</AA>
i tried following 3 methods to parse this xml file but failed
PROCEDURE LOAD_XML
IS
l_clob := ' <<Above XML Content Here >>';
lv_root CONSTANT VARCHAR2(1000) := '/AA/BB'; /* Tried lv_root CONSTANT VARCHAR2(1000) := 'AA/BB' with all the three methods */
/* Method 1 */ lv_namespace constant varchar2(1000) := 'xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/"';
/* Method 2 */ lv_namespace constant varchar2(1000) := 'xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/" xmlns=""';
/*Method 3 */ lv_namespace constant varchar2(1000) := 'xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/"/xmlns=""';
BEGIN
l_parser := dbms_xmlparser.newParser;
BEGIN
dbms_xmlparser.parseClob(l_parser, l_clob);
END;
l_doc := dbms_xmlparser.getDocument(l_parser);
-- Free resources associated with the CLOB and Parser now they are no longer needed.
dbms_xmlparser.freeParser(l_parser);
l_nl := dbms_xslprocessor.selectNodes(dbms_xmldom.makeNode(l_doc),lv_root,lv_namespaces );
FOR cur_rec IN 0 .. dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl) - 1 LOOP
l_n := dbms_xmldom.item(l_nl, cur_rec);
lv_rows_inserted_cnt := lv_rows_inserted_cnt + 1;
dbms_output.put_line('I am Here');
lv_rows_processed_cnt := lv_rows_inserted_cnt;
dbms_xmldom.freeDocument(l_doc);
l_clob := null;
dbms_output.put_line(lv_rows_processed_cnt||' Rows Parsed ');
END LOAD_XML ;
Every time zero rows are being parsed and it's not going into the for loop at all.
How to parse these kind of multiple namespaces (Especially default and unassigned namespaces ) ?
Thanks
Pramod

As Anton showed, you don't need namespace if you directly access target node with the descendant axis.
However, I guess it's a simplified example so if you need it in a more complex case, this will do it :
DECLARE
l_clob clob := '<AA xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/">
<BB xmlns="">
<Id>262</Id>
<Time>2011-03-10T13:55:00.000-06:00</Time>
<Indicator>true</Indicator>
</BB>
</AA>';
lv_root       CONSTANT VARCHAR2(1000) := '/ns1:AA/BB/*';
lv_namespaces CONSTANT VARCHAR2(1000) := 'xmlns:ns1="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/"';
l_parser dbms_xmlparser.Parser := dbms_xmlparser.newParser;
l_doc    dbms_xmldom.DOMDocument;
l_nl     dbms_xmldom.DOMNodeList;
l_n      dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
lv_rows_inserted_cnt NUMBER := 0;
lv_rows_processed_cnt NUMBER;
BEGIN
dbms_xmlparser.parseClob(l_parser, l_clob);
l_doc := dbms_xmlparser.getDocument(l_parser);
dbms_xmlparser.freeParser(l_parser);
l_nl := dbms_xslprocessor.selectNodes(dbms_xmldom.makeNode(l_doc), lv_root, lv_namespaces);
FOR cur_rec IN 0 .. dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl) - 1
LOOP
   l_n := dbms_xmldom.item(l_nl, cur_rec);
   lv_rows_inserted_cnt := lv_rows_inserted_cnt + 1;
   dbms_output.put_line(dbms_xmldom.getNodeValue(dbms_xmldom.getFirstChild(l_n)));
END LOOP;
lv_rows_processed_cnt := lv_rows_inserted_cnt;
dbms_xmldom.freeDocument(l_doc);
dbms_output.put_line(lv_rows_processed_cnt||' Rows Parsed ');
END;
/If you're on version 10.2 (or +), maybe you'll find easier to use XMLTable instead :

v_xml XMLType;
BEGIN
v_xml := XMLType('....above XML....');

END;
.... and I'm receiving the following result:

ORA-06512: at line 6
What am I doing wrong?
Any help appreciated.

Hello,
Can u please help me in resolving this issue.
I need to parse an XML in which some tags does not contain data or there is no such tag present in an XML.
Whenever i parse such a XML i receive error-ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF Argument is disallowed.
As per my requirement - I may get values in all tags at one time and next time i may receive values of some fields only.
I have tried this:
DECLARE
v_result varchar2(32765);
v_xml XMLType;
BEGIN
v_xml := XMLType('<PurchaseOrder xmlns="http://rapdrp.com/processcin/transactional/model/1.0/">

In this the value in <name></name> tag is NULL.
Please let me know if i can parse this XML.

Parsing XML with Java - seeking advice for method to pursue

Hi guys
So here's the deal: I want to parse some XML from a server, get all the data I need from it, then shunt that data to the classes that need it. However, I'm really not sure what the best way of parsing the XML is.
I've just written a class for obtaining the file, and one for building a DOM from the XML file. But looking at org.w3c.dom in the Java API documentation (see HERE) I'll have to implement shedloads of interfaces to be able to take advantage of the DOM, and I don't even know a lot about it.
So am I best just writing a simple parser based on regular expressions to get the data I want? There's about 5 attributes in the XML file that I need to get - 5 for each instance of the containing element. So I don't think it'll be hard to do with regular expressions.. plus even if I did decide to implement all the DOM interfaces, the only way I'd know how to do half the stuff is with regular expressions anyway. I mean, how else would you do it? How else could you match up Nodes according to the Strings you're using for the elements, attributes etc?
I worry that a parser using regular expressions might be too slow... I'm building this as an applet to visually display information from the server. I have nothing to support those fears, I'm just not experienced enough to know whether speed would be a problem if I chose this route... I don't think it would, but really need confirmation of that suspicion being unfounded.
Any advice would be very, very welcome, as I'm tearing my hair out at the moment, unsure what to do.

Komodo wrote:But JDOM is not in the core class libraries, is it? So if I want to create an applet embedded into a website, am I able to get people to download that as well?
Sorry, I don't know anything about applets.
Komodo wrote:Everyone's advice is appreciated, but my core question remains unanswered - would using regular expressions, considering how simple and unchanging the XML files are, be a viable option in terms of speed?
Yes! I've done more than my fair share of XML processing with REs. It's not always easy. I often wish I could just use something XPath-like. But it's certainly easy to do and would probably mean that you'd have something up and running quicker than if you spent time investigating pure XML parsing approaches.
