C XML Parser - Writing XML

Is there an easier way to write the contents of an XML document (built up in memory using DOM API calls) to a string, other than reading document back and using native C code to output each element. Perhaps call to PL/SQL XML Parser function?

Starting with 2.0.4, we have printStream() and printBuffer().

XML Parser returning XML content

This probably seems like overkill..
Im building a JSP that reads in XML and parses it. I then need to filter for specific values in the XML, and return a chunk of the XML to the output stream.
So far I've got..
      //set-up in and content-type
        FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream (getServletContext().getRealPath("/games_arcade/xml/game_marketing_content.xml"));
        //response.setContentType("text/xml");
        //parse the request
        Document doc = null ;
        try {
               DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFact = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFact.newDocumentBuilder();
               doc = docBuilder.parse(file);
               out.println("Go on ya good thing!!!");
        } catch (ParserConfigurationException pcEx) {
            throw new ServletException("jaxp not configured!", pcEx);
        //get needed data from the xml
        NodeList games = doc.getElementsByTagName("game");
          out.println(output.toString());
          Now Im lost. All the requisites are there, imports etc, Im just stuck with filtering the NodeList.
Or am I completely wrong with this approach?
Any help greatly appreciated.
thanks!

Hi,
thanks for the replyand suggestions. Have a bit of an issue with this method, this method (due to technical limitations) is completely JSP, using a standard iPlanet 6.1 classpath. I cant deploy WAR's (and cant use taglibs). Xpath/XSL would be ideal, but how do I write the output as XML?
So are you suggesting
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:for-each select="games/game">
          <xsl:if test="@id = $GAMEID">
               ... output the xml node using value-of's etc...
          </xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>Cheers Dr Clap!

XML parser and XML processor

Hi,
I am trying to load the XML Parser and XSLT processor into the XDK that i have. Please can someone tell me how this is done. So far i keep hearing about classpath and .jar files. i have no idea what to do with these. Is there a manual which will tell me how to do this? Or can anyone explain to me?. Or can anyone tell me how to check if they are already there, the technican installed the software but does not know how to use it!, so i am very lost with this and am using it for my masters project.
Hope you can help.
Thanks

Hi,
I have checked the lib folder. xmlparsev2.jar is there. Is this the classpath? if not how do i get it to the classpath? and how do i do that?
Thanks for your help so far

XML parsing - org.xml.sax.driver not specified

I am attempmtping to parse my first XML document and get the following excpetion when running my prog.
org.xml.sax.SAXException: System property org.xml.sax.driver not specified.
I am following the examples in the O'Reilly Java and XML book but suspect I am missing something obvious.
This is the offending line of code:
XMLReader xr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
Any help will be appreciated.

You need to set a property for your class that invokes your SAX handler. This is the property you need to set
org.xml.sax.driver=???
Where ??? is the name of the package where your SAXparser lives.
for example, my sax driver is in:
org.xml.sax.driver=org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
(see code below)
Also, a sweet reference is Elliot Rusty Harold's "XML processing with Java", which answered all the practical questions I had -- really! And is free, online.
http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/xmljava/chapters/index.html
This is the code for main() where my xml handler is invoked
try
{ SpiderHandler spiderHandler = new SpiderHandler(testSpider);
   XMLReader reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
   reader.setContentHandler(spiderHandler);
   for (int i=4; i<args.length; i++)
   {   FileReader xmlScript = new FileReader(args);
System.out.println("Input file number "+i+" named "+args[i]);
// org.xml.sax.XMLReader.parse(InputSource) interface
// see org.xml.sax.InputSource class
reader.parse(new InputSource(xmlScript));
catch(Exception e)
{   System.out.println("Error encountered in parsing from main(). \n");
e.printStackTrace();
Luck to you! XML is a joy.

XML parsing error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity (error code 17)

I created a form and recieve the filled in form by email from participants. It has always worked in the past. Recently when importing data into the master form (from filled in forms in xml files sent by applicants) I am getting this error message..."xml processing instruction not at start of external entity (error code 17), line 2, column 1...." pointing to the file of data (xml) I am trying to input. If I pull up old data forms (from 2009) they work, but now I am getting this error. I run Adobe Design Premium CS3 for Windows. Can anyone tell me what to do to fix?

XML Parser for PL/SQL - charset

Hi,
I'm using XML Parser for PL/SQL and have some trouble with encoding of results xmldom.writeToBuffer and xmldom.writeToCLOB procedures.
Some tags in my DOM documents contain text values in RUSSIAN (server nls_charset is CL8ISO8859P5). When I write document in varchar2 variable, buffer content is in UTF8 encoding ( convert UTF8->CL8ISO8859P5 -OK).
xmldom.setCharset(doc, 'ISO-8859-5') just after xmldom.newDOMDocument has no effect.
xmldom.setCharset(doc, 'CL8ISO8859P5') has no effect also.
Explicit charset direction in third parameter of
xmldom.writeToBuffer and xmldom.writeToCLOB procedure has no effect.
When I write document in CLOB, and then read part of CLOB in varchar2 buffer - result contain '?' in place of all russian text characters.
What's a problem?
How can I force XML Parser write XML in server charset?
Platform:
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.1.0
JServer Release 8.1.6.1.0
Oracle XML Parser for PL/SQL v 1.0.2

I have the same problem. But in my case I am allowed only to use XML Parser for PL/SQL.
Characterset 'WE8ISO8859P1' is used. And the language is latvian.
After parsing a XML document and printing its contents, all latvian characters are replaced by "f".
xmldom.setcharset(doc,'WE8ISO8859P1') has no effect.

Dynamic xml parser in runtime

Hello

of many process ,the status of the process is changing during
runtime,if i hold the nodes of the status in a linkedlist
is there any way to read the updated status each time it;s changing
during the runtime without parsing the xml again

best regardsNo... and I don't see the motivation for not wanting to just reread the XML document, if that's the respository of the updated information which you need.

Having read todays news-paper, would you expect to be able to somehow magically also read tomorrows news from tomorrows newspaper??? or would you expect to have to go back to the newsagent (via the donut shop, of course) and actually _buy_ another freeken newspaper, then sit and actually read the freeken news from the freeken thing? Hmmm?
Why-oh-why do noobs think computers are basically magical? Common sense must be applied even more rigorously to "computer stuff" than to "real world" stuff, like driving on that side of the road which is more appropriate for your current locale.

XML Parsing error - iTunes will not run config.xml missing

I have a new error code that I cannot find an answer to on any forum. Here is the error message:
XML Parsing error
XML Parsing error inside file 'C:\Documents and Settings\lmorrison\Application Data\iTunesControl\config.xml
Error: First Tag not found
At line 0, column 0.
First Tag should be 'itc'.
This error message pops up when attempting to run iTunes. The only way I've been able to get it to run is to take the library.xml file, rename it as config.xml and paste it into the iTunesControl folder. That's good for one run only. Then I have to copy and paste it again every time I want to run iTunes.
My issue is... I have no config.xml file. It's gone missing. No idea why. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled. Same error. I wiped every single spec of iTunes off my computer down to removing all instances in the computer registry. Same error. I have installed and uninstalled versions of iTunes back to iTunes 6. Same error. I have wiped and installed from iTunes installation disc. Same error. Help! The only thing I can think of is to locate someone with a working iTunes and copy their config.xml file to my computer. Apple was no help at all and merely suggested installing the latest version of iTunes... yeah... thanx.
Any ideas are appreciated.

I don't even have this iTunesControl folder!
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \Application Data\ iTunesControl
Did you ever install this itunesControl program? Maybe that's why you have that folder and I don't. I just googled on iTunesControl.
http://itunescontrol.com/
edit - the only thing Apple installs is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \Application Data\Apple Computer

UCSPE XML parsing error when importing from live UCS

Hi all,
I'm trying to import our live UCS hardware inventory in to the UCS platform emulator but keep getting an error stating:
Server Error: code ERR-xml-parse-error: XML PARSING ERROR: no class named computeExtBoard
The UCSPE imports all of our chassis' and blade servers, but it's missing all the chassis fans and psus, and the dimms, hdds, cpus, and storage controllers from all the blades. I haven't been able to figure out how to download or export the hardware inventory from the live UCS Manager as an XML for editing/loading in to UCSPE. It looks like you can only export as XML from USCPE, not from UCS Manager. Anybody have experience dealing with this?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry for this post, here ist the complete text.
Is it possible to create a XML Parser (javax.xml.parsers.SaxParser or javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder) which reads from a ByteChannel?
Example:
java.nio.channels.FileChannel fc = new ...;
javax.xml.parsers.SaxParser parser = ...;
org.xml.sax.HandlerBase hb = ...;
parser.parse( fc, hb );

Oracle XML Parser validation against XML Sxhema

Hi,
I am developing a program in C++ on Unix, that does parsing on an XML document. For parsing I am using "Oracle XML Parser" [using DOM API]. My question is, Can Oracle XML Parser validate xml document against an XML Schema file also? I have read in many tutorials that it can validate against DTD. Please clarify my question as early as possible?
Regards,
Raghuram.

Hi Kulkarni,
I think you are trying to retrieve the text of the parent element of book. For example if this is the xml element
<bookdetails>
<book>Harry Potter</book>
<author>JK Rowling</author>
<price>34.55</price>
</book>
</bookdetails>
You must be trying to retrieving the text of bookdetails.
Check XMLNode.getNodeName() to retrieve the name of the node.
To get 'Harry Potter' as output you need to traverse till book and then use XMLNode.getText()
You can check the 'getQuestions()' method in Survey Sample
to know how to tranverse to any element of an XML using Java.
The Survey Sample is located at
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/survey/content.html
Download the sample and unjar it. The location of Analyser.java is
SurveySample\code\Survey\src\oracle\otnsamples\survey\business\Analyser.java
Have a look at it.

Pierre,
Depending on the object "myLastFile", the method openDlg might not even exist (if the myLastFile object is not a File object, for instance). And I do not see any need for the myLastFile anyhow, as you are presenting a dialog to select a file to open. I recommend using the global ChooseFile( ) method instead. This will give you a filename as string in full path notation, or null when no file was selected in the dialog. I am not sure what your ExtendScript documentation states about the return value for ChooseFile, but if that differs from what I am telling you here, the documentation is wrong. So, if you replace the first lines of your code with the following it should work:
function openXMLFile ( ) {
var filename = ChooseFile ( "Choose XML file ...", "", "*.xml", Constants.FV_ChooseSelect );
While writing this, I see that Russ has already given you the same advice. Use the symbolic constant value I indicated to use the ChooseFile dialog to select a single file (it can also be used to select a directory or open a file - but you want to control the opening process yourself). Note that this method allows you to set a start directory for the dialog (second parameter). The ESTK autocompletion also gives you a fifth parameter "helplink" which is undocumented and can safely be ignored.
Good luck
Jang

XML parsing problem

Hi, my problem is :
In my Application i want to parse an XML file with DOM parser. The problem is that in my Project "MyProject -> Project Properties -> Libraries and Classpath"
I have included some 15 libraries which are useful for my Application: ADF Faces Runtime 11, ADF Web Runtime and etc.
Problems are causing the libraries: BC4J Runtime,ADF Model Runtime, MDS Runtime Dependencies
because when added my source which is parsing an XML file stops working.The source code is:
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
File file =
new File("C:\\Documents and Settings\\ilia\\Desktop\\begin.xml");
Document doc = db.parse(file);
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList dots = root.getElementsByTagName("w:t");
Element firstDot = (Element)dots.item(0);
String textValue = firstDot.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
I use DOM because i need to change some values in the XML file, but its not working neither for reading nor for writing.When debugging I see that it gets the root of the xml but " firstDot.getFirstChild().getNodeValue() " returns null and it breaks with NullPointerException. And that's only when the libraries mentioned above are added to the project. Without them it works just fine !
I don't know, it's like when added the parser validates my xml against some schema and returns null.
The xml file is very simple MS Word Document saved as .xml .But I don't think that's the problem.
Thanks in advance !
iliya

Hi all,
I found the solution to my problem.The right way to parse and change an XML file with DOM parser using the Oracle XML Parser v2 should look like this:
JXDocumentBuilderFactory factory =
(JXDocumentBuilderFactory)JXDocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
JXDocumentBuilder documentBuilder =
(JXDocumentBuilder)factory.newDocumentBuilder();
File file = new File("c:/Documents and Settings/ilia/Desktop/begin.xml");
InputStream input =
new FileInputStream(file);
XMLDocument xmlDocument = (XMLDocument)(documentBuilder.parse(input));
System.out.println("Encoding: " + xmlDocument.getEncoding());
System.out.println("Version: " + xmlDocument.getVersion());
NodeList namespaceNodeList =
xmlDocument.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml","t");
XMLElement namespaceElement17 = (XMLElement)namespaceNodeList.item(17);
namespaceElement17.getFirstChild().setNodeValue("someString");
