CDATA / html to xml

How do i take the content of an html file and put in in an
xml.
The part that's in the CDATA are now individual html files so
I want to
take
the content of that html file and put it in the CDATA. I'm
not sure if
that's the best way to do it though... might be better to
store the HTML in
the DB and then write it out from there???

Suggestions?

It is possible that your HTML, if it attempts to conform to
XHTML standard, could include a CDATA section and I don't think
you're permitted to nest a CDATA section inside another CDATA
section.

It depends on your goal. If you're creating a content
management system using a database for storage is probably a better
option.

Using CDATA in Script (XML)

Hello,
I'm trying to create an XML var using CDATA to get some htmlText.
Sample:
<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
          var newXML:XML = XML("<node><![CDATA["+ myRichTE.htmlText+" ]]></node>")
    ]]>
<fx:Script>
<mx:RichTextEditor id="myRichTE" />
But i get an error on this line. (give it a try, something about an unclosed tag, can't give the exact english error message since i got french UI)
It seems that you can't use
<![CDATA[xxxx]]>
in Script section of an Application (in addition of the main CDATA which contains all Script), since it interprets as a real CDATA.
And I think I can't do without it to store the htmlText inside an XML node.
Any ideas ?
(maybe by "escaping" the CDATA tag ?)
Thanks a lot.

Indeed, actually, it is as simple as this :
<fx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
          myXMLnode = myRichTE.htmlText
     ]]>
<fx:Script>
<mx:RichTextEditor id="myRichTE" />
It is correctly inserted into the XML, by replacing tags with their corresponding html entities.

Export pdf to html/txt/xml

Hi,
I downloaded "adobe acrobat x pro" for trying the "save as"/export functionality to xml/htm/text etc. and the result was exactly what I was looking for in terms of output, keeping formatting etc.
However, I am building an application which need to have an embeded library in order to do pdf to html/txt/xml conversion on the fly keeping formatting.
I have tried a number of libraries for pdf to html/txt/xml conversion an none of them deliver anything near what adobe acrobat x pro does in terms om keeping format/tables etc.
So, my question is how can I get access to the "save as"/export functionality in adobe acrobat x pro in any official adobe library, sdk, service, product etc. since I assume acrobat x pro does not expose any api for convert functionality or may be used serverside?
Best regards,
Rick

It sounds like you want to use Acrobat as a web service. Rather than pursue this route, you may want to note that such a use of Acrobat is not permitted under the license. Thus it may not worth pursuing. Why convert to HTML is a possible question anyway, at least on a regular basis? On occasions I can understand the need.
For programmable features you should probably check in the SDK forum.

HTML to XML Conversion ?

Developed a content presentation java servlet implmenting xmlparser2.jar classes, works well. We're storing content (in XML) format as blob, then using parser we are able to do the transformation of the xml file to HTML for presentation.
stream = null;
String result = null;
URL URLStream = new URL(xmlIn);
ByteArrayOutputStream xbaos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
if(mStylesheet.startsWith("http"))
stream = getURLInputStream(mStylesheet);
else
stream = new FileInputStream(mStylesheet);
XSLProcessor processor = new XSLProcessor();
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.setValidationMode(false);
parser.setPreserveWhitespace(true);
parser.parse(in);
xdoc = parser.getDocument();
XSLStylesheet xss = new XSLStylesheet(stream, URLStream);
processor.processXSL(xss, xdoc, xbaos);
result = xbaos.toString();
parser.reset();
return result; -- HTML conversion
We are evaluating using xslt to convert the XML to a form based medium for content maintenance. Wondering if once a XML document is parsed to HTML (DOM) can it be parsed back to XML for subsequent update to stored value in blob column. Specifically interested in conversion (parser) from HTML to XML
Simply can HTML (in DOM format validated against a xsd) be transformed back to XML ?

Do you know of a method in the xdk that takes a well formed HTML doc and using xsd / xslt convert back to original xml spec?
Because you created (and as long as you create) the HTML from XML it will be well formed (every tag will be ended with an end-tag) and you can therefore transform it back into XML.
Most times it will not be possible to convert HTML found on the 'internet' into XML because this HTML is not well formed. For example, many people forget to end a paragraph of text within HTML with the </p> tag.

HTML to XML converter

please who knows where one can download a java HTML-to-XML converter class where all that is needed is to supply any http link and it will output XML to the outputstream or whatever
thanks

You must realize that there is no possible way all valid HTML can be made into valid (well-formed) XML - right?
html can have over lapping tags (not real tags here, but you'll see):
<tag1>
<tag2>
<tag1>
<tag2>
That's valid html, but totally invalid xml (xml doesn't let you overlap tags).
If you're using XHTML, then your html is already xml.
If you're going from XML to HTML, then you can use XSTL; but it won't work in the other direction.

BPELConsole: Initiate does not show HTML or XML form to fill in variables

Hi,
i am using a xsd with a cascaded import of other xsds.
If i use one import layer everything is fine.
But if i use something like:
1.xsd (imports 2.xsd)
2.xsd (imports 3.xsd)
The BPELConsole refuses to show me a HTML or XML form where i can fill in the variables...

Hi,
For time being create one dummy process with request and response as a string type and call your process with the [xml]string input by creating partnerlink.
Generate xml from the schema with xml generator tools.
or use java api to invoke the process.

Hello ABAP_SAP_ABAP ,
                                      Youneed to select the option "generate template data " and then on the displaying template there you will see the option for editing in the top left corner toolbar.
Then after editing you can do a XMl syntax check and test your proxy.
Hope this helps.

Converting PDF Files to Html or Xml

how can i tranfrom the pdf file to html or xml using Acrobat's API? The software already have the function(http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-acrobat-x/converting-pdf-files-to-other-file-formats/). In C# ,I can use the acrobat's dll open the pdf file and can invoke the MenuItem SaveAs;
like this:
            AcroApp.Show();
            AcroAVDoc.Open(@"D:\xpdf\a.pdf","aaaa");
            AcroApp.MenuItemExecute("SaveAs");
            AcroApp.CloseAllDocs();
            AcroApp.Exit();
But this is not automatic.

How to convert HTML into XML

I know I can parse XML into some HTML, but is there any tools or methods existed to parse HTML into XML?
I have a not well-formed HTML with a lot data fields, including a lot not closed tags. This HTML is generated by some XML(as I can see), but I can't find a way to reform it into a XML, and eventually stored the data into another database.
Anyone can help me? I appreciate!

As SAm has told you, you can use jTidy, for the purpose, a sample code , which can convert an html file to xml file is given at following url:
see the documentation as well.

How do I generate HTML from XML & XSL using XSL Processor ?

I want to generate a HTML from XML & XSL using XDK for C on
linux-8i.
I run the XSLSample well.
But it only generate a XML from a XML & a XSL.
Can any one give me some advise or sample code?

Just use HTML tags instead of xml tags in your stylesheet, and
you'll generate HTML instead.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <body>
        <xsl:for-each select="ROWSET">
          <table border="1" cellspacing="0">
            <xsl:for-each select="ROW">
              <tr>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="EMPNO"/></td>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="ENAME"/></td>

Embedding HTML in XML CDATA and encoding issues

Hi all,
I'm embedding HTML code in a CDATA section. My problem is that, depending on the document, the HTML can be encoded in many formats. I borrowed a piece of code that sniffs that format so i can create String in the "right" encoding (or at least the one that was guessed).
- If I directly injected those in the CDATA section, i guess they'd be encoded in UTF-8 and some character would be misinterpreted?
- What if i would transcode the HTML from the sniffed format to utf-8?
-Are there any issues woth doing this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm quite new to that kind of encoding issues.
BTW i'm using DOM.
Thanks
lexo

I don't know if it's a dumb question. I just don't understand it at all. Encoding issues only arise when you write data from a Java program to an external location, or when you read data from an external location into a Java program. And none of the activities you mentioned there have anything to do with that.
When you write your XML to an external file, or wherever you write it to, it gets encoded at that moment. The whole thing. Elements, attributes, CDATA sections, the whole thing. Doesn't matter what's in it, the whole thing gets encoded in whatever charset was chosen.
Does that help?

Flash Player 10 removes HTML encoding in CDATA when parsing XML

I have an application that was written with Flash Professional 8/AS2 and it parses XML for rendering dynamic media content. The XML pulls text with HTML markup out of CDATA sections and places them into an html enabled text field. Everything has worked wonderfully until Flash Player 10.
Now, if we use html escape characters for greater than or less than symbols, they are being decoded by the xml parser.
Here's my example CDATA section:
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
when I grab its value using nodeValue or toString, the results are different from Flash Player 9 to 10. Here's what I'm getting:
node.nodeValue (Flash Player 9):
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
node.nodeValue (Flash Player 10):
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
node.toString (Flash Player 9):
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
node.toString (Flash Player 10):
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
In Flash 10, if I escape the ampersand, it will work, but this doesn't work in 9. for example, the following works in 10:
<![CDATA[Here <u>we</u> go: This &#60;node&#62; &lt;works&gt;]]>
This all happens before I assign it to a text field. How do I keep the parser from destroying my escaped characters in Flash 10? Do I just need to drop support for Flash Player 9 and go for what works in 10, or is there a solution for both?

I'm not an action script programmer. I'm just trying to fix some code written like 3 years ago. So I think I am wrong about where this problem is coming from.
The original developer actually set up a class to load a remote xml file via sendAndLoad on a LoadVars object. It passes an object with an onData delegate set that passes the event object to an xml parsing method.
the parsing method looks like this:
     private function parseXml(eventObj:Object){
          if(eventObj != undefined)
               try
                    //ExternalInterface.call("logMessage", eventObj.toString());
                    _xmlDoc.parseXML(eventObj.toString());
                    _xmlDoc.loaded = true;
                    _xmlDoc.onLoad(true);
               catch(ex)
                    _xmlDoc.onLoad(false);
          else
               _xmlDoc.onLoad(false);
I added the ExternalInterface call so that I could log the stuff out in javascript (since I'm not sure how to debug this app).
_xmlDoc is defined as: private var _xmlDoc:XML;
The eventObj receives the xml string and then passes it to the parseXML thing. Here's the odd part. In Flash Player 10, if I comment out my ExternalInterface call, the xml string has the escaped character decoded before it gets to the parser.
However, if I uncomment my ExternalInterface call, it logs the escaped strings as i would expect, but the parser gets the correct formatting this time! Suddenly it all works.
I really wish I had an AS2 programmer on campus still....

Newbie, Please help, How do I add CDATA to exsting xml flash asset

best way to get this done since am on a tight deadline. I need
someone to explain step by step what I have to do to get this
simple addition resolved. Attached are the links to home page and
