Can't get the DOM to output XML document tags in correct order.

I'm trying to output an XML document from the DOM using the DOMWriter class: new DOMWriter(document, filename, outputEncoding, encodingTag, getDocTypeString());
It refuses to output the tags in the correct order so my document always fails validation when it is read back in. I've tried explicitly placing the elements in the correct order into the DOM and it still outputs them the way it wants to. Is there some method I'm missing to set the xsd or dtd to validate the output on. It actually appears as though it has a definite idea as to what order the tags should be output, because no matter what order I append the nodes into the document, it always outputs them in the same incorrect order. I've got the validation working when it reads the document in. Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to output the tags in the correct order?

Does anyone know what I
have to do to get it to output the tags in the correct
order?You have to build the DOM in the correct way. Based on the code you posted it's impossible to tell what you are doing wrong. How about posting some code?

Use DOM to get the element value of XML document?

I can not to use the method getNodeValue to get the element value of XML document. How can I do for it?
For example, for element
<address>125 Smith Avenue</address>
how to get the value "125 Smith Avenue" by using DOM?
Thanks

Thanks for all of you.
The code indicates that I need to get the node by tag name. If I do not know the distribution of the elements and want to traverse all nodes. If the node contains value, I retrieve the value. How to implement the general case.
For example, my XML file represent a directory hierarchy and looks like
<root>
<usr>
<user>user1
<file>file1</file>
<file>file2</file>
</user>
<user>user2
<file>file1</file>
<file>file2</file>
<file>file3</file>
<file>file4</file>
</user>
</usr>
</root>

When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to dropdown in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to drop down in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. The 'Folder:' bar has 'Bookmarks Menu' showing. The arrow on the bar drops down 5 recent folders to which pages have been saved, but the pop down arrow to the right of the bar just opens to show the three categories and 'New Folder' button. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.

How can you get the car stereo to play songs on nano in order?

Hi--I just got an ipod nano and connect it to my car stereo via a usb port. No matter what controls I try (on the car) it just plays songs in alphabetical order of the song (regardless of the album title). How can I get it to play in the order I want (like one album at a time)?

Mine does. If you can browse by artist, album or song titles, chances are it can brwose through playlists as well. Also make sure that you don't have shuffle selected.
The iPod should play songs in the order that they are listed on the display.

Parse and output XML document while preserving attribute order

QUESTION: How can I take in an element with attributes from an XML and output the same element and attributes while preserving the order of those attributes?
The following code will parse and XML document and generate (practically) unchanged output. However, all attributes are ordered a-z
Example: The following element
<work_item_type work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_type_code="3" user_tag_ident="Step" name="Work Step" gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" rstat_type_code="1">
</work_item_type>is output as:
<work_item_type gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" name="Work Step" rstat_type_code="1" user_tag_ident="Step" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_type_code="3">
</work_item_type>As you may notice, there is no difference in these besides order of the attributes!
I am convened that the problem is not in the stylesheet.xslt but if you are not then it is posted bellow.
Please, someone help me out with this! I have a feeling the solution is simple
The following take the XML from source.xml and outputs it to DEST_filename with attributes in a-z order
Code:
private void OutputFile(String DEST_filename, String style_filename){
 //StreamSource stylesheet = new StreamSource(style_filename);
 try{
 File dest_file = new File(DEST_filename);
 if(!dest_file.exists())
 dest_file.createNewFile();
 TransformerFactory tranFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Transformer aTransformer = tranFactory.newTransformer();
 aTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
 Source src = new DOMSource("source.xml");
 Result dest = new StreamResult(dest_file);
 aTransformer.transform(src, dest);
 System.out.println("Finished");
 catch(Exception e){
 System.err.print(e);
 System.exit(-1);
 }

You can't. The reason is, the XML Recommendation explicitly says the order of attributes is not significant. Therefore conforming XML serializers won't treat it as if it were significant.
If you have an environment where you think that the order of attributes is significant, your first step should be to reconsider. Possibly it isn't really significant and you are over-reaching in some way. Or possibly someone writing requirements is ignorant of this fact and the requirement can be discarded.
Or possibly your output is being given to somebody else who has a defective parser which expects the attributes to be in a particular order. You could quote the XML Recommendation to those people but often XML bozos are resistant to change. If you're stuck writing for that parser then you'll have to apply some non-XML processing to your output to fix it up on their behalf.

Can I set the DocumentType for an XML document? If so how? please help

Hi,
I am porting some code from jdom to xerces.
jdom's document class provides a setDocType(String, String) function to set the DTD for the document.
Is there anything similar in dom?
The javadocs only mentions a getDocType() for the document interface in org.w3c.dom.Node interface. Is there any way I can SET the document type (DTD) for a given document object?
TIA,
Srinivas.

How can i write the DOM tree to the XML File?

Asslamo ala mn etb3a Alhoda.
My problem priefly is that i can't write the DOM tree to XML file.
I write following code to give the user the ability to input the name of data base which he want to create.
If i wrote DB name,its atrributes and its values succefully to XML file ,then i'll read it succefully to RAM.
It'll be simple DBMS.
***My code***
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.DOMException;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
public class Main {
     * @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
     // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     String DBname;
DBname=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Your Data Base Name");
OPerations O=new OPerations();
     O.creatDB(DBname);
class OPerations {
public void creatDB(String name){
     //get an empty Document
     DocumentBuilderFactory f; f=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     try {
          builder = f.newDocumentBuilder();
          Document doc= builder.newDocument();
     //Build tree DOM With the root Node
          Element root=doc.createElement(name);
     //add the root element to thevdocument
          doc.appendChild(root);
catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
     // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
}

Do an identity transformation to output it:TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer tr = tf.newTransformer();
tr.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(new File(filename))));(typed without syntax check)

How can I get the context-parm from a web.xml file using struts?

Hello:
I need get the context-param from the web.xml file of my web project using struts. I want configurate the jdbc datasource connection pooling here. For example:
<context-param>
<param-name>datasource</param-name>
<param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
<description>Jdbc datasource</description>
</context-param>
and then from any Action class get this parameter.
Similar using a simple server can be:
/** Initiates new XServlet */
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
 for (Enumeration e = config.getInitParameterNames(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
 System.out.println(e.nextElement());
 super.init(config);
 String str = config.getInitParameter("datasource");
 System.out.println(str);
 public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
 throws ServletException, IOException {
 // res.setContentType( );
 System.out.println("Got post request in XServlet");
 PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
 out.println("nada");
 out.flush();
 out.close();
but only this works for init-params, if I use
<servlet>
 <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
 <display-name>MyServlet</display-name>
 <servlet-class>myExamples.servlet.MyServlet</servlet-class>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>datasource</param-name>
 <param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
inside my web.xml. I need something similar, but using struts inside the action class for that I can get the context-params and call my database.
Thank you

To get context parameters from your web.xml file you can simply get the ActionServlet object from an implementing action object class. In the perform (or execute) method make the following call.
ServletContext context = getServlet().getServletContext();
String tempContextVar =
context.getInitParameter("<your context param >");

How can I get the XML structure from a flat structure?

Hi all,
in my XI SP 12 I use a JMS adapter to read information using the WebSphereMQ transport protocol.
The structure that I receive have this format:
<Name_A.KeyFieldValue><Name_A.fieldName_A1_Value>...<Name_A.fieldName_AN_Value>
<NumberRecordType_B><NumberRecordType_c>
<Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value>
<Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value>
<Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>
<Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>
the problem is that in this structure each line is not separated by a carriage return or a comma, I have all the information in a single line:
<Name_A.KeyFieldValue><Name_A.fieldName_A1_Value>...<Name_A.fieldName_AN_Value><NumberRecordType_B><NumberRecordType_c><Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value>...<Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value><Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>...<Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>
and the customer don't want to insert a line separator.
Then, the question is:
How can I get the XML structure from this structure?
If possible, I don't want to develop new Module and add it in the JMS Module Sequence.
PS I have already read the article "How to Use the Content Conversion Module with the XI 3 J2EE JMS Adapter.pdf" and it doesn't seem to help me.
Best Regards,
Paolo

How can I get the text value of an XML element in MXML ?

Hi,
I have the following XML loaded into a variable of type XML :
<properties>
 <comment>RIMpro Data Collector Configuration</comment>
 <entry key="server.pear.username"/>
 <entry key="server.apple.retry.times">5</entry>
 <entry key="rdc.proxy.host">http://192.168.1.2:8080</entry>
/properties>
I can easily get the key attribute displayed in a DataGridColumn by setting the dataProvider to my variable and the dataField to "@key". But I do not know how to get the text value in a second column... Is there a way or do I need to change my XML to something like this :
<properties>
 <comment>RIMpro Data Collector Configuration</comment>
 <entry key="server.pear.username"/>
 <entry key="server.apple.retry.times" value="5"></entry>
 <entry key="rdc.proxy.host" value="http://192.168.1.2:8080"></entry>
/properties>
Many thanks in advance.
Marc

yes, you'd better modify your XML structure to fit the DataGrid internals.
Since dataField pattern require each grid row item to have a named property to be displayed, otherwise you'll be forced to overcome this pattern using custom labelFunction for the particular column which will implement your custom actions on how to extract appropriate data for that column out of grid row item. It will be much more complicated than just rearranging your xml structure.

How can i get the Icons in the output of ALV?

Hi,
I am trying to get the Icons in my report output using ALVs.
i am adding the following line
 line_fieldcat-icon = 'ICON_GREEN_LIGHT'. in my field catalog for getting the respective Icon in the list. but the Icon is not getting displayed?
May i know whether the above specified line is correct or not? if not, how can i get the Icons in my output using ALVs?
Thanks and regards,
Ramesh.

Hi,
take idea from this code :
INCLUDE ICONs.
WRITE : / icon_green_light AS ICON.
WRITE : / icon_red_light AS ICON.
write : / icon_yellow_light AS ICON.
OR
add code as per steps below in your ALV report :
FIRST :
INCLUDE ICONs.
Second : in your internal table add :
icon type icon-id,
Third :
add this value in icon field for green light.
itab-icon = '@08@'.
append itab.
Fourth : display
is_fieldcat-tabname = 'IT_FINAL'.
is_fieldcat-fieldname = 'ICON'.
is_fieldcat-col_pos = '1'.
is_fieldcat-outputlen = '12'.
is_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'ICON'.
APPEND is_fieldcat TO it_fieldcat.
CLEAR is_fieldcat.

How can I get the directory.xml file for WL6.0?

I have installed the ALBPM Enterprise WL6.01 and started it in my server.But I get the error message when I login.
directory configuration runtime fails to initilize with
resource:/Aqualogic/j2eewl/tomcate/webapps/../../webapps/webconsole/WEB-INF/directory.xml
How can I get the XML file?

aaa, ok i misunderstood your first post, i thought you are talking about unable to use the directory.xml from your application.
Ok, well the directory.xml file that ALBPM uses is allways in /albpm6.0/j2eewl/conf/directory.xml if we are not talking about Standalone. And when you start your albpm server it picks up the directory.xml file from there. But it picks him up only when you start it...so if you made any changes to it, you have to restart the server.
You should check the instalation folder of your ALBPM.
If you want to change the user/pass in the directory.xml change it in that folder and restart ALBPM.
If you don't know how to enter new password you have to use this sintax:
<encrypt>newPassword</encrypt>
Because if you open the xml file you have only <encrypted> tags, and you can't change those.
I don't know what the xml file is doing in that tomcat folder though...maybe it get's copied to that location when you start the albpm WL
Hope this helps
