Testing XML Parser for C (v1.0.1 & v2)

Hi,
I had tested the Oracle XML Parser for C (v1.0.1.0.0) and found out that it was bundled with the 8i database. Is this a requirement of the parser?
Now I want to test version 2 of the same parser. Can you tell me the main differences between the two versions? Also we are using Oracle 8.1.5i at our site, can we run the v2 parser with 8.1.5i?
My last question is when will the commercial product (both v1.0.1 and v2) be available?
Thanks,
Francis

Hi,
Are you sure I can use the downloaded XML Parser for C v2 on Oracle 7.3 and Oracle 8? Because in the lib directory there are the following libraries:
libcore8.a, libnls8.a, libxml8.a, libxmlc8.a
I think they are for Oracle 8i instead. I tried to compiled the Oracle XML Parser for C v1.0.0.0.1 before on Oracle 7.3 and it failed because of libraries problem. How can I get the libraries required for Oracle 7.3 and Oracle 8? Please verify.
Many thanks!
Francis

  • 2-byte error in XML Parser for PL/SQL

    environment:
    oracle 8.1.5
    XML parser for Java 2.0.2.6.0
    XML parser for PL/SQL 1.0.1.0.0
    we use CLOB as xml data container, but it does not work properly with 2 byte chracter set.
    I tested same situation except using VARCHAR2 instead of CLOB, it works without problem.
    I think there is some bug in method parseClob of oracle.xml.parser.plsql.XMLParserCover about converting CLOB into String.
    I appreciate any help to work around this problem.

    Hi,
    We couldn't reproduce this error with our test case. Can you please post a test case that gives you this problem so we can assist you further?
    Thank you,

  • XML Parser for Java v2. Applying XSLT to DOM tree

    I encountered pretty weird behavior of XML Parser for Java v2.
    While applying XSLT to XML document created in memory using DOM
    interface I couldn't access element attributes. For example,
    given the XML document:
    <root>
    <Item ID="00001">Value of Item 00001</Item>
    <Item ID="00002">Value of Item 00002</Item>
    </root>
    and XSLT:
    <xsl:template match="/">
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>XSLT Test</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <xsl:for-each select="/Error">
    <H1>Error</H1><xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:for-each>
    <TABLE border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
    <TBODY>
    <xsl:for-each select="/root">
    <TR>
    <TH style="background-color:khaki">
    <xsl:text>Attribute</xsl:text>
    </TH>
    <TH style="background-color:khaki">
    <xsl:text>Value</xsl:text>
    </TH>
    </TR>
    <xsl:for-each select="Item">
    <TR>
    <TD><xsl:value-of select="@ID"/></TD>
    <TD><xsl:value-of select="."/></TD>
    </TR>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </TBODY>
    </TABLE>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    </xsl:template>
    If I build DOM tree by parsing XML file the resulting HTML
    document after applying XSLT will display
    Attribute Value
    00001 Value of Item 00001
    00002 Value of Item 00002
    But if I build DOM tree using following code:
    XMLDocument xDoc = new XMLDocument();
    Element root = xDoc.createElement( "root" );
    xDoc.appendChild( root );
    Element elem = xDoc.createElement( "Item" );
    elem.setAttribute( "ID", "00001" );
    root.appendChild( elem ).
    appendChild( xDoc.createTextNode( "Value of Item 00001" ) );
    elem = xDoc.createElement( "Item" );
    elem.setAttribute( "ID", "00002" );
    root.appendChild( elem )
    .appendChild( xDoc.createTextNode( "Value of Item 00002" ) );
    the same XSLT will produce the following HTML output:
    Attribute Value
    Value of Item 00001
    Value of Item 00002
    So the value for the ID attribute is not displayed. At the same
    time I can access this attribute using DOM interface. For
    example, following code
    NodeList nList = xDoc.getElementsByTagName( "Item" );
    Element e;
    for( int i = 0; i < nList.getLength(); i++ )
    e = (Element)nList.item( i );
    System.out.println( "ID: " + e.getAttribute( "ID" ) );
    produces an output
    ID: 00001
    ID: 00002
    Here is the code for applying XSLT to DOM tree:
    DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
    parser.parse( new FileInputStream( "test.xsl" ) );
    XMLDocument xsldoc = parser.getDocument();
    XSLStylesheet xsl = new XSLStylesheet( xsldoc, createURL( "" ) );
    XMLDocument out = new XMLDocument();
    out.appendChild( new XSLProcessor().processXSL(xsl, xDoc) );
    out.print( new FileOutputStream( "test.html" ) );

    I am not sure what parser or interface you are trying to use.
    Our command line ones will print the output of the parse to the

    Tree representation that can be programaticly accessed. Review
    our samples to see how to do it.

    Not unless you use our print methods or pipe our commandline

    All of our XML Parsers for C, C++, and Java can work

    currently configured to work with the XML SQL Utility (also
    available here) to get parsed data in and out of the database.
    Download it and take a look.

    ORA-04043: object /564607d_HTMLAnchorElement does not exist
    About 20 classes get loaded correctly. All the rest get ORA-29545 or ORA-04043 errors.
    I expect the ORA-04043 errors are a result of the earlier errors.
    The documentation seems to indicate that there is no need to do
    dbms_java.grant_permission to load into your own schema.
    I have NT4 (sp6)
    Oracle 8.1.7
    xmlparserv2.jar dated 24/8/2001 17:01 size 1,177,259
    xmlparserv2_2027.jar gives the same errors.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Was it definitely xmlparsev2.jar that you had to load?
    I recently started going through some of these examples as well and found that the standard xml parser was there but that I needed to load the xml parser for PL/SQL. I did this using loadjava from a subdirectory within the xdk directory and everything worked fine.

  • ANN: Oracle XML Parser for Java v2.0.0.1

    A new maintenance release of the Oracle Parser for Java is
    available for download. It has the following fixes and changes:
    Bug fixes for #920536, i.e. Cannot access element attributes via
    XSLT; #898423. i.e. ElementDecl's in DTDs; #774774, i.e. DOM
    extensions using XSL pattern matching; #863890 i.e. SAX
    IOException not thrown.
    New APIs in the following new interface:
    1. oracle.xml.parser.v2.NSResolver
    - resolveNamespacePrefix( find the namespace definition in scope
    for a given namespace prefix )
    New APIs in the following classes:
    1. oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLNode
    - selectNodes( Selects nodes from the tree which match the given
    pattern; client can provide an NSResolver implementation to
    resolve namespace prefixes in the pattern ).
    2. oracle.xml.parser.v2.ElementDecl
    - getParseTree( Returns the root Node of Content Model parse
    tree, which could then be traversed node by node using
    getFirstChild() and getLastChild(). The Node types are: PLUS,
    COMMA, ASTERISK, ELEMENT, QMARK ).
    This is the first beta patch release for v2.

  • ORACLE XML PARSER FOR JAVA FOR AIX

    Hi people!
    I'm looking for the Oracle XML Parser for Java 9.0.2.0.0C, my 9iAS is BI Installation 9.0.2.3, where can I get it? In the Downloads Section there is only the version for 10g, and the existing versions for 9i are not for AIX (my OS is AIX 5.2L).
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your help, I navigate through this link and, even it shows a table where appears the release for AIX (9.2.0.6.0), when I get to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdk/software/prod/utilsoft_java.htm
    it shows me only downloads for Sun, Linux and HP-UX, but not for AIX.
    Has the version for AIX being deprecated or something like that?

  • XML parsing problems with Oracle XML parser for PL/SQL

    I am using the Oracle XML parser for PL/SQL to transform XML into HTML usign XSL. The parser gives me sporadic errors trying to parse various XML documents. For the same XML source, the XMLPARSER will parse without errors one day and the next day will give me errors such as "invalid char in text", "Expected ';'.", or even Java null pointer exceptions.
    I have verified that the XML sources are well formed, so I am pretty certain that the problems I am having are bugs in the XMLPARSER.
    Is there going to be a XML parser for PL/SQL version 2 that will fix these bugs? If so, when??? If not, is there anything else I could do to fix these problems?
    Thanks!

    You can use the latest version.

  • Oracle8.1.5 and XML parser for PL/SQL

    Hi,
    Does XML parser for PL/SQL work with Oracle 8.1.5? Did any one install the
    same and if so what are steps to follow? I ran initjvm.sql to install
    JServer and then tried to load jar files using loadjava, but it's giving
    error. It's working fine with Oracle8.1.6.
    Any idea?

    Oracle XML Parser has differents distributions for 8.1.5 and 8.1.6 databases, try the correct version, then runs the oraclexmlsqlload.csh from the lib directory of XSU distribution.

  • XML-Parser for PL/SQL: OutOfMemoryError

    When using the XML-Parser for transforming an
    XML document into HTML, I sometimes get the
    following error:
    ORA-29516: Aurora assertion failure: Assertion failure at eox.c:187
    Uncaught exception System error: java/lang/OutOfMemoryError
    ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 25509408 bytes (joxcx
    callheap,ioc_allocate ufree)
    The operation nevertheless seems to finish correctly. I run Oracle 8.1.6 under WinNT4
    (384MB RAM) with a shared_pool_size of about
    30MB and a java_pool_size of 40MB.
    The original document is stored in a CLOB,
    so I use xmlparser.parseClob to get it.
    After the parsing is finished, the result is written to a file using xmldom.writeToFile.
    Can anybody point me in the right direction?
    Many thanks in advance!

    May I should have said that the memory error
    occurs only when transforming a lot of xml documents at once using a cursor loop.

  • XML Parser for PL/SQL and related issues

    I need to have further information about some of the following
    issues and XML features and make a determination useful for
    evaluation and recommendation:
    ISSUES
    1) Is there a maximum size for an XML document to provide data
    for PL/SQL(or SQL) across tables, provided that no CLOB are used?
    2) How about from Oracle to an XML document ?
    3) Is there a ratio between XML document size and main memory and
    SGA size. What are Oracle's recommendations /
    4) Can the Oracle Application Server run on a DHCP NT server when
    using XML parsing ? Is it NT Service Pack 3 and 4 compatible ?
    5) How parsers can interact with one another or related tools ?
    For example, how the XML parser for c/c++ could be useful when
    using Pro*C/C++ (programmer 2000) or OCI interfaces ? In other
    words, what is the business logic in using these tools ?

    The limit should be what can be inserted into an object view.

    The limit should be what can be retrieved from an object view.
    : 3) Is there a ratio between XML document size and main memory

    If it can run a JavaVM with the correct permissions there are no

    No special requirements here.

    Not really sure of your question. The XML components are useful
    in any application where I am processing documents or data with
    an XML structure. The choice to use XML can be based on quite a
    range of requirements due to its declarative syntax and open
    standards. If you give me a specific application, I can perhaps
    be more helpful.
