Changing xml parser from xerces 1 to xerces 2

Hi
Iam installing opencms 6.2 on weblogic 9.1, opencms 6.2 requires xerces 2 whereas the default version for weblogic 9.1 is xerces 1. Please help in changing from xerces1 to xerces 2 in weblogic 9.1
Any help would be graetly appreciated
Thanks
Chaitanya

don't use the goto functions and don't use scene info for
navigation. use the goto methods and frame labels:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2_Frame1"); // <- label this
frame
}

Remove xml parser from the database

I am deinstalling a version of xml and putting a newer version of
it. how do i do that? I know that there is something like
dropjava , but still there are other packages which are loaded
into the schema. I want to clean out the earlier version and
install the new version in a clean manner.
Thanks

you'll need to write SQL to write SQL
based on the USER_OBJECTS table
where:
SELECT 'drop java class '''| |
dbms_java.longname(object_name)| |''';'
from user_objects where
OBJECT_TYPE = 'JAVA CLASS'
and DBMS_JAVA.LONGNAME(OBJECT_NAME)
LIKE 'oracle/xml/parser/%'
This will spew out a set of DROP JAVA CLASS
command which you can capture in a file
using SQL*Plus':
SPOOL somefilename
command. Then run that spool file as a
SQL script and all the right classes
will be dropped.

Java XML parsing with Xerces in Eclipse using Oxygen problem

Hey everybody,
Got me a stickler of a prob here and i'm hoping sum one out there will be able to help. I am trying to parse XML files into JDom objects so i can use them in the rest of my project with ease, but i'm having trouble parsing anything wihtout getting these errors
Error: URI = /filelocat/personal-schema.xml", Line = "3", : Document root element "personnel", must match DOCTYPE root "null".
Error: URI = /filelocat/personal-schema.xml", Line = "3", : Document is invalid: no grammar found.
Error: URI = /filelocat/personal-schema.xml", Line = "3", : cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation' is not allowed to appear in element 'personnel'.
Error: URI = /filelocat/personal-schema.xml", Line = "3", : cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation' is not allowed to appear in element 'personnel'.
The are the files are ones that come in Oxygens samples folder so they should be correct. The code is as follows
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          factory.setValidating(true);
SchemaFactory sFact = SchemaFactory.newInstance("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
Schema schema = sFact.newSchema(schemaFile);
factory.setSchema(schema);
DocumentBuilder dommer = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doco = dommer.parse(xmlFile.getAbsolutePath());None of these errors appears to be fatal, i can still use the doco object and extract the information i require, but i want to understand where the errors are coming from. There must be a parser setting or sumthing i've missed somewhere.
Can anyone help?
Any ideas/surgestions/critique welcome.

When we are parsing this xml: "<CustomerInfo><VCID/>77888</CustomerInfo>".
See comments in following code.
Element docEle = d.getDocumentElement(); // Returns "CustomerInfo" element node.
NodeList childNodes2 = docEle.getChildNodes(); // Returns two nodes: <VCID/> element node and 77888 text node.
Node item4 = childNodes2.item( 0 ); // First node (element node) of the "CustomerInfo" tag. <VCID/>
Node item5 = childNodes2.item( 1 ); // Second node (text node) of the "CustomerInfo" tag is 77888. Look this text is not child of VCID, it's second child node of "CustomerInfo" tag.
NodeList childNodes3 = item4.getChildNodes(); // Returns null because <VCID/> node is empty.
String nodeValue = item5.getNodeValue(); // Returns 77888 ( text node ).               Regards,

XML Parsing From A String (Not a File)

Hi all,
I've been looking throughout this forum and still can't find a total answer to my question. I was wondering if it is possible to do the following:
I want to pass in a string of XML code to a java stored procedure; the XML string looking like the following (for example):
<Table-Name="PersonalInfo">
<row>
<First-Name>Bob</First-Name>
<Last-Name>Smith</Last-Name>
<Age>55</Age>
</row>
</Table-Name>
We don't want to be passing in an XML file; we want to pass in the actual string of XML code that would be in the file.
Is it possible to put into the DOM format (like every example I've seen so far) by parsing an XML formatted string? If so, how would I go about doing that?
Thanks in advance!
Jadie

<Table-Name="PersonalInfo">
<row>
<First-Name>Bob</First-Name>
<Last-Name>Smith</Last-Name>
<Age>55</Age>
</row>
</Table-Name>This is exactly what JAXB is for! :)
With JAXB unmarshalling against an XSD file can be applied to any InputStream, etc.
Take a look at JAXB, and you'll find it'll be just what you're looking for. :)
In fact, here's a short segment of the XSD you'd write for the above:
<xsd:complexType name="PersonalInfo">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="row" type="PersonalInfoRow" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="PersonalInfoRow">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="First-Name" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xsd:element name="Last-Name" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xsd:element name="Age" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
Also, perhaps redesign your XML a little, since each table will be different, simply use its name as the tags...i.e. <PersonalInfo></PersonalInfo> and change the <row> to <PersonalInfo> since <row> is pretty generic and will probably occur many times in other places.
Hope this helps you along your way. :)

XML Parsing from Template

Ok, I'm very new to Oracle, porting from SQL Server. Getting a bit lost.
I have an XML template similar to :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsql:query connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" >
SELECT 'Hello World' AS "GREETING" FROM DUAL
</xsql:query>
We have a Windows 2000 based Web server. The problem is that the above select statement is not being converted into a database action and is just displayed in the browser as a string.
I have read about Servlets and XML Parsers and XML Developers Kits but am not sure what I need. Presumably something installed on our Windows Web Server? Is this correct? We do have Java support installed on the Oracle server.
Hopefully when I understand what needs installing I will know where to find a file XSQLConfig.xml which will let me configure the database connection to the alias name 'demo'. I will then be ok creating an XSL stylesheet.
We are using Oracle 8i.
Thanks for any pointers, help, advice etc.

This forum is dedicated to Oracle XML DB, which is a feature of Oracle9iR2. Questions related to earlier versions of the database are better posted in the XML forum under the technology heading

Change XML declaration from single quote to double quote

Hi all,
i have the following problem in my File Receiver Adapter. My XML File has the declaration <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> (With single quotes ') and want to change it to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> (With double quotes ")
I use the XMLAnonymizerBean but this does not change the XML declaration.
Any ideas how to change the declaration
Thanks Max

Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

Dear co.forumers :
We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
Has anyone had the same problem ?
Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.

XML Parse issues when using Network Data Model LOD with Springframework 3

Hello,
I am having issues with using using NDM in conjuction with Spring 3. The problem is that there is a dependency on the ConfigManager class in that it has to use Oracle's xml parser from xmlparserv2.jar, and this parser seems to have a history of problems with parsing Spring schemas.
My setup is as follows:
Spring Version: 3.0.1
Oracle: 11GR2 and corresponding spatial libraries
Note that when using the xerces parser, there is no issue here. It only while using Oracle's specific parser which appears to be hard-coded into the ConfigManager. Spring fortunately offers a workaround, where I can force it to use a specific parser when loading the spring configuration as follows:
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl But this is an extra deployment task we'd rather not have. Note that this issue has been brought up before in relation to OC4J. See the following link:
How to change the defaut xmlparser on OC4J Standalone 10.1.3.4 for Spring 3
My question is, is there any other way to configure LOD where it won't have the dependency on the oracle parser?
Also, fyi, here is the exception that is occurring as well as the header for my spring file.
org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException:

I ran into this exact issue while trying to get hibernate and spring working with an oracle XMLType column, and found a better solution than to use JVM arguments as you mentioned.
Why is it happening?
The xmlparserv2.jar uses the JAR Services API (Service Provider Mechanism) to change the default javax.xml classes used for the SAXParserFactory, DocumentBuilderFactory and TransformerFactory.
How did it happen?
The javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder looks for custom implementations by checking for, in this order, environment variables, %JAVA_HOME%/lib/jaxp.properties, then for config files under META-INF/services on the classpath, before using the default implementations included with the JDK (com.sun.org.*).
Inside xmlparserv2.jar exists a META-INF/services directory, which the javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder class picks up and uses:
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXDocumentBuilderFactory as the default)
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXParserFactory as the default)
META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXTransformerFactory as the default)
Solution?
Switch all 3 back, otherwise you'll see weird errors. javax.xml.parsers.* fix the visible errors, while the javax.xml.transform.* fixes more subtle XML parsing (in my case, with apache commons configuration reading/writing).
QUICK SOLUTION to solve the application server startup errors:
JVM Arguments (not great)
To override the changes made by xmlparserv2.jar, add the following JVM properties to your application server startup arguments. The java.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder logic will check environment variables first.
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
However, if you run test cases using @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) or similar, you will still experience the error.
BETTER SOLUTION to the application server startup errors AND test case errors:
Option 1: Use JVM arguments for the app server and @BeforeClass statements for your test cases.
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");
If you have a lot of test cases, this becomes painful.
Option 2: Create your own Service Provider definition files in the compile/runtime classpath for your project, which will override those included in xmlparserv2.jar.
In a maven spring project, override the xmlparserv2.jar settings by creating the following files in the %PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources directory:
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl as the default)
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl as the default)
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl as the default)
These files are referenced by both the application server (no JVM arguments required), and solves any unit test issues without requiring any code changes.
This is a snippet of my longer solution for how to get hibernate and spring to work with an oracle XMLType column, found on stackoverflow.

XML Parser Limitations?

I'm having problems using the XML Parser from
Oracle. I've encountered this both in the
transviewer beans as well as my own implemenatation of the parser.
The problem occurs when I use an XSL document with a for-each declarative in it. Internet Explorer successfully parses an XML document using this XLS file, but when I use the Oracle Transviewer, the data from the XML document is not parsed into the output.
Is this an error of mine or a limitation of XML Parser?
Here are my XML and XLS docs:

Hi,
For the XSL file, you need to use
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0" version="1.0">
instead of
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
We were able to parse the file with this modification. If this does not solve your problem, please provide us with some description of the error that you are getting.
Thank you,

How can I use a 3rd party XML parser such as xerces with OC4J ?

Hi all tech experts,
I am using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) and i have
installed Portal and Wireless and OracleAS Infrastructure on the same
computer.
i tried all the solutions on this thread
Use of Xerces Parser in out application with Oracle App Server 9.0.4
but still fighting.
I have also posted this query on OTN on following thread
How can I use a 3rd party XML parser such as xerces with OC4J?
but no reply....
Please help me on this issue.
Since OC4J is preconfigured to use the Oracle XML parser which is xmlparserv2.jar.
i have read the following article which states that
OC4J is preconfigured to use the Oracle XML parser. The Oracle XML parser is fully JAXP 1.1 compatible and will serve the needs of applications which require JAXP functionality. This approach does not require the download, installation, and configuration of additional XML parsers.
The Oracle XML parser (xmlparserv2.jar) is configured to load as a system level library of OC4J through it's inclusion as an entry in the Class-Path entry of the oc4j.jar Manifest.mf file. This results in the Oracle XML parser being used for all common deployment and packaging situations. You are not permitted to modify the Manifest.mf file of oc4j.jar.
It must be noted that configuring OC4J to run with any additional XML parser or JDBC library is not a supported configuration. We do know customers who have managed to successfully replace the system level XML parser and the Oracle JDBC drivers that ship with the product, but we do not support this type of configuration due to the possibility of unexpected system behavior and system errors that might occur from replacing the tested and certified libraries.
If you absolutely must use an additional XML parser such as xerces, then you have to start OC4J such that the xerces.jar file is loaded at a level above the OC4J system classpath. This can be accomplished using the -Xbootclasspath flag of the JRE.
i have also run the following command
java -Xbootclasspath/a:d:\xerces\xerces.jar -jar oc4j.jar
but no success.
How could i utilize my jar's like xerces.jar and xalan.jar for parsing instead of OC4J in-built parser ?
All reply will be highly appreciated.
Thnx in advance to all.

Hi Neeraj Sidhaye,
I am trying to deploy a sample xform application to the Oracle Application Server (10.1.3). However, I encountered the class loader issue that is similar to your stuation. I tried all the three solutions but the application is still use the Oracle xml paser class. I am wondering if you have any insight about this?
Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to use a progress bar with Xerces XML Parser?

My program is parsing very long XML files that take several minutes to parse. I am using Xerces as the parser. I would like to use a progress bar to show the progress, but I haven't found any way to get Xerces to give progress updates. Is this possible?

Use teh SAX parser and listen to SAX events. Example:

import java.util.*;
//jaxp-api.jar:
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
//sax.jar:

import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import mine.IOUtils;

* big (multiple megabytes) XML files via SAX and listen to XML events to process XML elements.
* For small (less than a megabyte) XML files, it's more convenient to use the DOM API

Is it possible to configure CF10 or CF11 to use Xerces XML parser instead of Saxon XML parser?

Could anyone tell me if it is possible to configure CF10 or CF 11 to use the older Xerces XML parser instead of the Saxon XML parser.
I am in the process of migrating a website from CF8 to CF11. Several sections rely on XML transformation, which no longer work in CF11. After investigating the problem it seems to be that the Saxon Parser is more strict, causing these errors.

Well I guess Parsers would be better solution. As u said u need to insert node at specific location.
so now u have to decide which parser u need to choose according to u r requirmnet. DOM or SAX maily.
Both has adv and di-advs.

Why can't Oracle XML parser import a Xerces node?

I have been using XSU to obtain query results in XML as a DOM. Recently I tried to use the Document.importNode method on the generated DOM where the node to be imported was generated using the Xerces parser. The Oracle XML parser gave the following error:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementImpl
     org.w3c.dom.Node oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument.importNode(org.w3c.dom.Node, boolean)
          XMLDocument.java:1247
I can get around the problem by parsing the XML I want to combine with the XSU generated XML with the Oracle parser, however, I would be happier if I could configure XSU to use Xerces (or another parser) via JAXP.
Will XSU have JAXP support? What is the cause of the exception above?

That is why you can't import.

Changing XML Before Parsing

My problem in brief: I want to change some data from an XML file before parsing it.
I'm using xerces to parse an XML file. Occasionally the XML file contains an ampersand character rendering it invalid, so xerces throws an error when parsing.
To get around this problem i'm using a FileInputStream and BufferedReader to read the file into a String (line by line), changing the ampersand character, then using an InputStream and DocumentBuilderFactory to parse the String. This works to an extent but takes a while, making it extremely inefficient.
Essentially, is there are more efficient way of changing the XML before it is parsed by Xerces?

Using JDOM its bit easy.
It provides various methods for example
Element.getChild("child_Node_Name").NodeName() --to get Node name
and
Element.getChildText("child_Node_Name") -- to get contents of the child node
and then using StringBuffer you can you can play it as you want.
Hope this will help.
