A Jdom problem !!

my program recieve String content = "<start>aaa</start>" from other application, and i wanna use Class SAXBuilder() to build a XML document base on that String
but SAXBuilder only take argruments of File and Stream
is any other way i can do it???????????????

RTFM. It says the direct known subclasses of Reader are these:BufferedReader, CharArrayReader, FilterReader, InputStreamReader, PipedReader, StringReaderWhich of them look like they might be able to read a String? Guessing is okay here because you can check your answer against the documentation.
Seriously, if you don't get in the habit of looking in the API documentation to see what is available you will find it very difficult to write Java programs.

XSLT usage with JDOM problem

When I try to do an XSL transformation on a JDOM tree
using Oracle's xml classes from xmlparserv2.jar (includes
the javax.xml.transform api) I get the following:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jdom.transform.JDOMSource$DocumentReader
     at oracle.xml.jaxp.JXTransformer.transform(JXTransformer.java:201)
The same code works with xalan/crimson as well as saxon/aelfred, anyone
seen this and knows a solution? Code snippet:
private Frame transform(Document in, URL stylesheet) {
     TransformerFactory f = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
     InputStream s = stylesheet.openStream();
     Transformer transformer = f.newTransformer(new StreamSource(s));
     JDOMResult out = new JDOMResult();
     out.setFactory(new FPLNodeFactory());
     transformer.transform(new JDOMSource(in), out);
     s.close();
     return (Frame)out.getDocument().getRootElement().detach();
I was wondering if there is a problem with the Oracle's impelmentation or am I using it incorrectly.
Thanks.

XML, jdom problem

Hello Java-People,
I am having a problem with Java and XML using the jdom package (www.jdom.org).
An exception
(java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/SAXNotRecognizedException
     at YAAFile.openXMLDataFile(YAAFile.java:161))
is thrown.
I use java 1.4.1_01 on MacOS X (10.2.6). My IDE is Project Builder.
The following classes are involved:
YAAObject: stores my data in bean style with setters and getters, only used to hold the data.
YAAFile: holds the YAAObject instances in a vector and saves them in a xml file, opens xml file and returns the objects to other classes.
A third class that holds the YAAFile class.
1st test scenario:
My class YAATest calls:
YAAFile f1 = new YAAFile();
f1.openXMLDataFile();
YAAObject[] array = f1.returnYAAObjectArray();
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
array.outputData();
This works fine. The outputData() method puts the content via System.out.println() on the console.
2nd (application) scenario:
My class YouAreAl calls:
(above) YAAFile currentYAAFile;
currentYAAFile = new YAAFile();
currentYAAFile.openXMLDataFile();
Does not work. I get the output:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/SAXNotRecognizedException
     at YAAFile.openXMLDataFile(YAAFile.java:161)
     at YouAreAl.<init>(YouAreAl.java:173)
     at YouAreAl.main(YouAreAl.java:260)
     at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method)
     at apple.launcher.LaunchRunner.run(LaunchRunner.java:88)
     at apple.launcher.LaunchRunner.callMain(LaunchRunner.java:50)
     at apple.launcher.JavaApplicationLauncher.launch(JavaApplicationLauncher.java:52)
-[NSJavaVirtualMachine initWithClassPath:] cannot instantiate a Java virtual machine
YouAreAl has exited with status 0.
Both scenarios execute the following code at the openXMLDataFile() method:
protected void openXMLDataFile(){
builder = new SAXBuilder(); //here the exception is thrown!
Document doc = null;
try{
doc = builder.build(DataFileName);
catch (JDOMException e)
System.err.println("JDOMException openXMLDataFile 1");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
catch (IOException e)
System.err.println("IOException openXMLDataFile 3");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
...and so on...
The exception is thrown at line:
builder = new SAXBuilder();
As both scenarios execute the same piece of code I do not understand where the difference is.
I have the jdom.jar in the Library/Java/Extensions directory.
In my opinion builder wants to throw the SAXNotRecognizedException but can not find it. The point is why does it not word in the second scenario when everything is fine in the first one?
If there is anyone out there having a deeper understanding of this matter, please give me a hint.
Thanks in advance
Tobias

Hi people,
I found the problem. I'll post it here in case anyone runs into the same kind of problem.
The reason for the exception was not the source code but the built product.
Scenario one built a .jar file and it worked just fine.
Scenario two built an .app file and it threw an exception.
When compiling scenario two on the console it ran fine as well. So thr problem seems to lie either in the packaging or the IDE. It looks as if you are not allowed to use extensions when packaging your class files as an .app
So I'll stick with jar files for a while...

Parsing a XML file using Jdom-Problem.

Hi all,

I am trying to parse a xml file using a jdom java code.This code works fine if I remove xmlns attribute in the root element. (I get the expected result) .If the "xmlns" attribute is put in the xml as it should be then the parsing and retrieving returns null. Please tell me how to fix this issue.

This is what you get for working 12 hours straight....
I changed:
xmlObject["mydoc"]["modelglue"]["event-handlers"]["event-handler"][i].xmlAttrib utes["name"]<br>
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.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Rich

One suggestion to try:
Change your code to the following
Element root = oDoc.getRootElement();
System.out.println(root.getName());
String tgtns= root.getAttributeValue("targetNamespace");
System.out.println("tgt ns "+ tgtns);
Namespace ns = Namespace.getNamespace(
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/" );
List list= root.getChildren("partnerLinks", ns );
Iterator it1= list.iterator();
System.out.println("Iterator 1 - "+list.size());The JavaDoc says for the one-arg getChildren()
If this target element has no nested elements with the given name outside a namespace, an empty List is returned.
Your elements have a namespace (the default one) so it should be worth a try.

Hi,
I am also having the same problem using jdom, my code works fine when there is no xmlns attribute but when i put the xmlns attribute back in doesn't work.
Did you manage to find a way to solve this problem?

Problem with JDOM and euro character

Hi,
I have an xml file including euro characters (�) and starting with :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>
as it should probably be.
However, my problem is that (JDOM and) SAXBuilder doesn't recognize the euro characters and replace them by an unknown character '?'.
What's wrong and how can I solve it?
Thanks in advance.

All right, this is a a part of my code:
....SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder( true );
//create the document
//this doc contains this tag <RefVersion> data�data </RefVersion>
Document doc = builder.build( "E:\\test.xml" );
System.out.print( "before charAt = " + "�".charAt(0) + String.valueOf('\u20ac') );
String str = "euro�euro";
System.out.println( "euro�euro ->" + str.replace('\u20ac','O') );
Element root = doc.getRootElement();
//recup du noeud RefVersion
Element version = root.getChild( "RefVersion" );
str = version.getText();
System.out.println( "nom= " + version.getName() + " data= " + str );
System.out.println( "index de � ds euro�euro " + str.replace('\u20ac','O') );
and the output is:
before charAt = ��
euro�euro ->euroOeuro
nom= RefVersion data= data?data
index de � ds euro�euro data?data
So, obviously, it comes from JDOM.

Problems with JDOm XPath

Hi all.
I have a JDOM XML document and I use JDOMXPath to apply XPath expressions on the XML document.
I have XPath expression for which JDOMXPath does not match any node:
//*[not(count(descendant::a) < 4)]
[not(descendant::node()[count(descendant::a)>3])]
[not(descendant::text()[normalize-space(string())!='']
[not(ancestor::a)])]
XML parser such as Saxon, MSXML, etc. correctly match this XPath on the document and find the appropriate node-set, so the XPath expression is 100% right from the XPath syntax perspective.
But in JDOM, it does not match.
Could anybody tell me what is the problem?
Thank you very much for help and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question - this is my first post here.
Thanks again,
Anna

Sorry, forgot to tell something very important:
the XML node-set that I am trying to match is as follows:
<ul>
<li>Accessibility</li>
<li>Amaya</li>
<li>ABC</li>
<li>CC/PP</li>
</ul>
The interesting moment is, that if I change the node-set to look like this:
<ul><li>Accessibility</li><li>Amaya</li><li>ABC</li><li><a href="Mobile/CCPP/"></a></li></ul>
i.e. without any spaces, JDOMXPath will match for the above XPath.
Is there any problem with spaces in JDOM/JDOMXPath?
Thanks again
Anna

Jdom and namspace problem.

Hi, everyone
I have some problem with jdom documet. When i put namespace on root element all child elemets gets empty namspace.
Code
Namespace ns = Namespace.getNamespace(XMLNS);
Element e = new Element("root",ns);
e.addContent(new Element("element"));
result (validation by schema fails)
<root xmlns="httpo://someuri.com">
<element xmlns="">
</element>
</root>
i need result
<root xmlns="httpo://someuri.com">
<element>
</element>
</root>

Hi, again i have solwed my problem by myself, and i want to share information with you :).
*Namespace ns = Namespace.getNamespace(XMLNS);*
Element e = new Element("root",ns);
e.addContent(new Element("element"));when creating new namespace lement don't forget create it with prefix.
*Namespace ns = Namespace.getNamespace("ns", XMLNS);*
Element e = new Element("root",ns);
e.addContent(new Element("element"));

JDom package problem !!!

Hi, Friends
I have some problem while using JDom v1.0 from www.jdom.org
since while i have seen all the examples on the net, they
using org.jdom.*; package structure.
but when i am using latest libs from v1.0 there is no package
like org.jdom
what should i do ??
Since it giving me error while running below code :
public class JdomEx1

Hi Friend,
Thanks for that,
I want to ask , then how to run the sample code ??
consider me as new java newbie.
and there is no issue for classpath, Netbeans 5 will do that.And you, in your infinite Java newbie wisdom, can be 100% sure that there is no classpath issue, despite blatant evidence to the contrary?? :-)
It is a classpath issue, and since you're using an IDE, and no doubt making use of code completion, you've gone stampeding down the DOM route and got yourself stuck! Try writing a bit of code outside of NetBeans, and sort your classpath out========================================
Hi friend,
Thanks for suggestion, but still there is no solution
Can u tell me to run code in IDE ?
i have added following libs to NetBeans Library area.
1) ant.jar
2) jaxen-jdom.jar
3) xalan.jar
4) saxpath.jar
5) xerces.jar
6) xml-apis.jar
My Whole project is in Netbeans and you told me to write XML
code outside IDE, don't u think it is strange !!!
then what purpose of IDE ???
Kindly provide me solution if any classpath issue....
Thanks..

// String innerXml = (new XMLOutputter()).outputString(XPath.selectSingleNode(doc,nodexpath));
try
XPath myxpath=XPath.newInstance(nodeXpath);
modifiedEBM=myxpath.toString();
catch(Exception e) {
modifiedEBM="ERROR: inside :" + e.toString();
catch(Exception e) {
modifiedEBM="ERROR :" + e.toString();
return modifiedEBM;
This is the error i get:

Kindly help me in this regard.

Hi Sameera,
I found the conflict is because that, i hav added two different jars to my project folder. Both the jars contiained the definition of the class org.jdom.parent.
So why the error have occured. I came to know a solution defined in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3894
Not sure.. hw well it would work..
So i think i can go for some alternative classes.
Can u pls help me in the below requirement.
I need to get a method which take input as (XMLasString,xpathOfElement,NewValueForThatElement)
I shd replace the old value of that element by the NewValueForThatElement and again return back the XMLasString only..
Thanks,
Sabarisri. N

Problem parsing a xml using Jdom

Hi all,
I am reposting it as I was told to format the code and send it again.
I am trying to parse a xml file using a jdom java code.This code works fine if I remove xmlns attribute in the root element. (I get the expected result) .If the "xmlns" attribute is put in the xml as it should be then the parsing and retrieving returns null. Please tell me how to fix this issue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xml
<process name="CreateKBEntryService" targetNamespace="http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService" suppressJoinFailure="yes" xmlns:tns="http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/" xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension" xmlns:ora="http://schemas.oracle.com/xpath/extension" xmlns:nsxml0="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/CreateKBEntryService" xmlns:nsxml1="http://DefaultNamespace" xmlns:bpws="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
<partnerLinks>
<partnerLink name="client" partnerLinkType="tns:CreateKBEntryService" myRole="CreateKBEntryServiceProvider"/>
<partnerLink name="CreateKBEntryPartnerLink" partnerLinkType="nsxml0:CreateKBEntryLink" partnerRole="CreateKBEntryProvider"/>
</partnerLinks>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Java:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.jdom.Document;
import org.jdom.Element;
import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;
public class sample1 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// create a XML parser and read the XML file
SAXBuilder oBuilder = new SAXBuilder();
Document oDoc = oBuilder.build(new File("**xml file location**"));
Element root = oDoc.getRootElement();
System.out.println(root.getName());
String tgtns= root.getAttributeValue("targetNamespace");
System.out.println("tgt ns "+ tgtns);
List list= root.getChildren("partnerLinks");
Iterator it1= list.iterator();
System.out.println("Iterator 1 - "+list.size());
while(it1.hasNext()){
Element partnerlinks = (Element)it1.next();
List list2= partnerlinks.getChildren("partnerLink");
System.out.println("iterator 2 - "+list2.size());
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Result:
Without Xmlns in xml file(Expected and correct output)
process
tgt ns http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService
Iterator 1 - 1//expected and correct result that comes when I remove xmlns attribute from xml
iterator 2 - 2
Result with xmlns:
process
tgt ns http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService
Iterator 1 - 0 //instead of 0 should return 1

One suggestion to try:
Change your code to the following
Element root = oDoc.getRootElement();
System.out.println(root.getName());
String tgtns= root.getAttributeValue("targetNamespace");
System.out.println("tgt ns "+ tgtns);
Namespace ns = Namespace.getNamespace(
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/" );
List list= root.getChildren("partnerLinks", ns );
Iterator it1= list.iterator();
System.out.println("Iterator 1 - "+list.size());The JavaDoc says for the one-arg getChildren()
If this target element has no nested elements with the given name outside a namespace, an empty List is returned.
Your elements have a namespace (the default one) so it should be worth a try.

Formatting problem with JDOM

friends,
help me out plz..
While creating a xml document using JDOM ,
I am not able to get the formatted xml file.
program output is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<person><name>A</name><name>B</name><name>C</name><name>D</name></person>
I want the result as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<person>
     <name>A</name>
     <name>B</name>
     <name>C</name>
     <name>D</name>
</person>
// XMLGenerator.java
import org.jdom.Element;
import org.jdom.Document;
import org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter;
import java.io.*;
public class XMLGenerator {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
Element root = new Element("employee");
while(rs.next()) // rs .. ResultSet
Element emp_name= new Element("name");
emp_name.setText(rs.getString(rs.getString("name")));
root.addContent(emp_name);
Document doc = new Document(root);
// serialize it into a file
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("record.xml");
XMLOutputter serializer = new XMLOutputter();
serializer .setIndent(true);
serializer.output(doc, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println(e);

try:
XMLOutputter serializer = new XMLOutputter( " " );
with the size of the indent you require.
You dont really need the line: serializer.setIndent(true); if u use this constructor.
Hope this Helps
Sam
