Compare 2 encrypted String Java Objects

Hi,
I am have encrypted the passwords of my change password page using the java.security.messagedigest API and stored in string object.
Can any one pls tell me how to compare these 2 encrypted objects.
Thanks

Hi,
Message Digest can be compared using
boolean compare = java.security.MessageDigest.isEqual(byte[] digesta, byte[] digestb) ;hope this helps.

Comparing java object trees

Hello.
I was wondering if someone might have some advice or ideas about this seemingly very common problem.
I have two copies of a very large java object tree (original and modified). I need to compare these two trees and figure out whether any data has changed. The brute force way to do this would of course be to implement equals() method for all of my objects, but in my case this would be A LOT of work.
So, I want to find a way to compare the two trees in a generic way.
My first attempt was to serialize both trees into memory and then compare them on the binary level, like this:
     public boolean autoEquals(BaseDomainObject other) {
          try {
               ByteArrayOutputStream thisObjectStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(500);
               ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(thisObjectStream);
               out.writeObject(this);
               out.flush();
               out.close();
               ByteArrayOutputStream otherObjectStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(500);
               out = new ObjectOutputStream(otherObjectStream);
               out.writeObject(other);
               out.flush();
               out.close();
               return thisObjectStream.toString().equals(otherObjectStream.toString());
          catch (Exception e) {
               throw new RuntimeException(e);
     }This actually nearly worked, except for one problem that I do not know how to address - The order of elements in collections of the modified tree might differ from the order of the same collections in the original tree, even if the individual elements are exactly the same. My serialization idea falls apart here.
Can someone think of another way to do this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I thought I would follow up with the solution.
The method I described above does work, but in order to make it work I had to find a way to make all elements in all collections appear in the same order. In order to do that, I needed a unique key for each object in the tree, that would be the same in both the original and the modified tree.
In my case that was easy, b/c I get the original version from Hibernate and I make my modified version by copying it (also by serializing the original into memory and then deserializing it into my new "modified" working copy tree), so they both still contain the hibernate oids.
The extra step I needed to do before serializing and comparing was to recurse through both trees (with Introspection) and replace all sets with a TreeSet and all lists with my own implementation of a sorted list.
Now I can compare any tree of domain objects that extend from BaseDomainObject (they all do) by simply writing
domainObjectTree1.autoEquals(domainObjectTree2, new String[] {"terminatorProperty1", "terminatorProperty2", ...})
Terminator properties are basically properties which I set to null before running my comparison. This allows me to "cut off" branches of the tree that I don't want to be compared.

Empty strings when passing a Java object to a Stored Procedure

Hi,
I'm using the interface SQLData to pass Java objects to StoredProcedures. All the object's attributes 'arrive' to the Stored Procedure ok, except the strings, which are empty.
Here is my Oracle object:
TYPE OBJ_ASJFF_OBJ1 IS OBJECT (
ARG1 CHAR(3),
ARG2 NUMBER(4),
ARG3 CHAR(4),
ARG4 NUMBER(7),
ARG5 NUMBER(13,2),
ARG6 CHAR(1));
The nested table of that object:
TYPE TAB_ASJFF_OBJ1 AS TABLE OF OBJ_ASJFF_OBJ1;
The procedure declaration:
PROCEDURE Pup_Instaura_Processo (                              x_crCert IN TAB_ASJFF_OBJ1,
x_cResult OUT CHAR(4)
My SQLData implementation:
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException {
               stream.writeString(getArg1());
               stream.writeInt(getArg2().intValue());
               stream.writeString(getArg3());
               stream.writeLong(getArg4().longValue());
               stream.writeBigDecimal(getArg5());
               stream.writeString(getArg6());
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance

I have a Java Stored procedure which takes an instance of a different java object as its parameter.
I need to do this from a pl/sql package - can anyone point me to a sample etc (looked on the website but don't see one) ?

Compare two Java Objects without Comparable / Comparator

Hi Friends,
I would like to compare two java objects (lots o attributes) without using Comparable / Comparator.
Any suggestion/sample code would be helpful.
Thanks,
Sachin

I suppose you could design another feature to compare Objects... but that would involve a design process, so asking for sample code is definitely premature. And as EJP says, what would be the point?
At least that's what I would answer if this was one of those stupid interview questions.

How to parse XML to Java object... please help really stuck

Thank you for reading this email...
If I have a **DTD** like:
<!ELEMENT person (name, age)>
<!ATTLIST person
     id ID #REQUIRED
>
<!ELEMENT name ((family, given) | (given, family))>
<!ELEMENT age (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT family (#PCDATA)>

the **XML** like:
<person id="a1">
<name>
     <family> Yoshi </family>
     <given> Samurai </given>
</name>
<age> 21 </age>
</person>
**** Could you help me to write a simple parser to parse my DTD and XML to Java object, and how can I use those objects... sorry if the problem is too basic, I am a beginner and very stuck... I am very confuse with SAXParserFactory, SAXParser, ParserAdapter and DOM has its own Factory and Parser, so confuse...
Thank you for your help, Yo

Hi, Yo,
Thank you very much for your help. And I Wish you are there...I'm. And I plan to stay - It's sunny and warm here in Honolulu and the waves are up :)
A bit more question for dear people:
In the notes, it's mainly focus on JAXB,
1. Is that mean JAXB is most popular parser for
parsing XML into Java object? With me, definitely. There are essentially 3 technologies that allow you to parse XML documents:
1) "Callbacks" (e.g. SAX in JAXP): You write a class that overrides 3 methods that will be called i) whenever the parser encounters a start tag, ii) an end tag, or iii) PCDATA. Drawback: You have to figure out where the heck in the document hierarchy you are when such a callback happens, because the same method is called on EACH start tag and similarly for the end tag and the PCDATA. You have to create the objects and put them into your own data structure - it's very tedious, but you have complete control. (Well, more or less.)
2) "Tree" (e.g. DOM in JAXP, or it's better cousin JDOM): You call a parser that in one swoop creates an entire hierarchy that corresponds to the XML document. You don't get called on each tag as with SAX, you just get the root of the resulting tree. Drawback: All the nodes in the tree have the same type! You probably want to know which tags are in the document, don't you? Well, you'll have to traverse the tree and ask each node: What tag do you represent? And what are your attributes? (You get only strings in response even though your attributes often represent numbers.) Unless you want to display the tree - that's a nice application, you can do it as a tree model for JTree -, or otherwise don't care about the individual tags, DOM is not of much help, because you have to keep track where in the tree you are while you traverse it.
3) Enter JAXB (or Castor, or ...): You give it a grammar of the XML documents you want to parse, or "unmarshall" as the fashion dictates to call it. (Actually the name isn't that bad, because "parsing" focuses on the input text while "unmarshalling" focuses on the objects you get, even though I'd reason that it should be marshalling that converts into objects and unmarshalling that converts objects to something else, and not vice versa but that's just my opinion.) The JAXB compiler creates a bunch of source files each with one (or now more) class(es) (and now interfaces) that correspond to the elements/tags of your grammar. (Now "compiler" is a true jevel of a misnomer, try to explain to students that after they run the "compiler", they still need to compile the sources the "compiler" generated with the real Java compiler!). Ok, you've got these sources compiled. Now you call one single method, unmarshall() and as a result you get the root node of the hierarchy that corresponds to the XML document. Sounds like DOM, but it's much better - the objects in the resulting tree don't have all the same type, but their type depends on the tag they represent. E.g if there is the tag <ball-game> then there will be an object of type myPackage.BallGame in your data structure. It gets better, if there is <score> inside <ball-game> and you have an object ballGame (of type BallGame) that you can simply call ballGame.getScore() and you get an object of type myPackage.Score. In other words, the child tags become properties of the parent object. Even better, the attributes become properties, too, so as far as your program is concerned there is no difference whether the property value was originally a tag or an attribute. On top of that, you can tell in your schema that the property has an int value - or another primitive type (that's like that in 1.0, in the early release you'll have to do it in the additional xjs file). So this is a very natural way to explore the data structure of the XML document. Of course there are drawbacks, but they are minor: daunting complexity and, as a consequence, very steep learning curve, documentation that leaves much to reader's phantasy - read trial and error - (the user's guide is too simplicistic and the examples too primitive, e.g. they don't even tell you how to make a schema where a tag has only attributes) and reference manual that has ~200 pages full of technicalities and you have to look with magnifying glas for the really usefull stuff, huge number of generated classes, some of which you may not need at all (and in 1.0 the number has doubled because each class has an accompanying interface), etc., etc. But overall, all that pales compared to the drastically improved efficiency of the programmer's efforts, i.e. your time. The time you'll spend learning the intricacies is well spent, you'll learn it once and then it will shorten your programming time all the time you use it. It's like C and Java, Java is order of magnitude more complex, but you'd probably never be sorry you gave up C.
Of course the above essay leaves out lots and lots of detail, but I think that it touches the most important points.
A word about JAXB 1.0 vs. Early Release (EA) version. If you have time, definitively learn 1.0, they are quite different and the main advantage is that the schema combines all the info that you had to formulate in the DTD and in the xjs file when using the EA version. I suggested EA was because you had a DTD already, but in retrospect, you better start from scratch with 1.0. The concepts in 1.0 are here to stay and once your surmounted the learning curve, you'll be glad that you don't have to switch concepts.
When parser job is done,
what kind of Java Object we will get? (String,
InputStream or ...)See above, typically it's an object whose type is defined as a class (and interface in 1.0) within the sources that JABX generates. Or it can be a String or one of the primitive types - you tell the "compiler" in the schema (xjs file in EA) what you want!
2. If we want to use JAXB, we have to contain a
XJS-file? Something like:In EA, yes. In 1.0 no - it's all in the schema.
I am very new to XML, is there any simpler way to get
around them? It has already take me 4 days to find a
simple parser which give it XML and DTD, then return
to me Java objects ... I mean if that kind of parser
exists....It'll take you probably magnitude longer that that to get really familiar with JAXB, but believe me it's worth it. You'll save countless days if not weeks once you'll start developing serious software with it. How long did it take you to learn Java and it's main APIs? You'll either invest the time learning how to use the software others have written, or you invest it writing it yourself. I'll take the former any time. But it's only my opinion...

Generation of XML file from Java objects using castor

I have the following java file(Customer.java).
public class Customer
     private String ID;
     private FirstName firstName;
     private MiddleName middleName;
     private LastName lastName;
     private ArrayList address;
     public ArrayList getAddress() {
          return address;
     public void setAddress(ArrayList address) {
          this.address = address;
     public FirstName getFirstName() {
          return firstName;
     public void setFirstName(FirstName firstName) {
          this.firstName = firstName;
     public String getID() {
          return ID;
     public void setID(String id) {
          ID = id;
     public LastName getLastName() {
          return lastName;
     public void setLastName(LastName lastName) {
          this.lastName = lastName;
     public MiddleName getMiddleName() {
          return middleName;
     public void setMiddleName(MiddleName middleName) {
          this.middleName = middleName;
Using castor i have created an xml file(customer.xml) which has the following format.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <customer ID="fbs0001">
<FIRSTNAME>Fred</FIRSTNAME>
<MIDDLENAME>B</MIDDLENAME>
<LASTNAME>Scerbo</LASTNAME>
- <ADDRESS>
<FIRSTLINE>No 18, Sheshadri road</FIRSTLINE>
<SECONDLINE>Gandhinagar Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
</ADDRESS>
- <ADDRESS>
<FIRSTLINE>ITPL</FIRSTLINE>
<SECONDLINE>Whitefield Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
</ADDRESS>
</customer>
I have used a mapping file to get this output.Is there a way where i can get the output xml in the following format without changing the Java object structure.If yes then please suggest how this can be done.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <customer ID="fbs0001">
<FIRSTNAME>Fred</FIRSTNAME>
<MIDDLENAME>B</MIDDLENAME>
<LASTNAME>Scerbo</LASTNAME>
</customer>
<ADDRESS>
<FIRSTLINE>No 18, Sheshadri road</FIRSTLINE>
<SECONDLINE>Gandhinagar Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
</ADDRESS>
- <ADDRESS>
<FIRSTLINE>ITPL</FIRSTLINE>
<SECONDLINE>Whitefield Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
</ADDRESS>
I mean the output xml file should have the address as a separate tag not withing the root tag customer.

Hello,
Castor's own discussion groups might be able to point you to the solution you're looking for (if this use case is possible using Castor).
Oracle has its own object-to-XML mapping tool that is part of the TopLink product. It allows you to map existing objects to an existing XML Schema. This can be done visually using the TopLink Workbench, or programmatically using the TopLink APIs. TopLink OXM also supports the JAXB specification.
Using TopLink OXM to get the desired XML result I would recommend the following. Map the Customer and Address classes to XML, but don't map the relationship between Customer and Address. Then make the calls to the marshaller something like the following:
marshaller.marshal(aCustomer, System.out);
for(int x=0; x<aCustomer.getAddress().size(); x++) {
     marshal(aCustomer.getAddress().get(x), System.out);
Example - Using TopLink OXM to map an existing object model to an existing XML Schema:

How to reference multiple instances of the same Java object from PL/SQL?

Dear all,
I'm experimenting with calling Java from PL/SQL.
My simple attempts work, which is calling public static [java] methods through PL/SQL wrappers from SQL (and PL/SQL). (See my example code below).
However it is the limitation of the public static methods that puzzels me.
I would like to do the following:
- from PL/SQL (in essence it needs to become a forms app) create one or more objects in the java realm
- from PL/SQL alter properties of a java object
- from PL/SQL call methods on a java object
However I fail to see how I can create multiple instances of an object and reference one particular object in the java realm through public static methods.
My current solution is the singleton pattern: of said java object I have only 1 copy, so I do not need to know a reference to it.
I can just assume that there will only ever be 1 of said object.
But I should be able to make more then 1 instance of an object.
To make it more specific:
- suppose I have the object car in the java realm
- from PL/SQL I want to create a car in the java realm
- from PL/SQL I need to give it license plates
- I need to start the engine of a scpecific car
However if I want more then 1 car then I need to be able to refrence them. How is this done?
Somehow I need to be able to execute the following in PL/SQL:
DECLARE
vMyCar_Porsche CAR;
vMyCar_Fiat CAR;
BEGIN
vMyCar_Porsche = new CAR();
vMyCar_Fiat = new CAR();
vMyCar_Porsche.setLicensePlates('FAST');
vMyCar_Porsche.startEngine();
vMyCar_Fiat.killEngine();
END;
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Ruben

You can do this by manually creating a new iterator binding in your binding tab.
So instead of dragging the VO directly to the page, go to the binding tab, add a new executable iterator binding, and point to that one from your ELs in the page itself.

}OK, My questions are:
[1]. what I generated XML by XSTream is very complicated, especially for object LocationTest, Can we make it as simple as others such as Person object??
[2]. after I run it, LocationTest will popup and a red ball in a panel will dsiplay, after I change red ball's position, I hope to persist it to xml, then when I read it back, I hope to get same picture, ie, red ball stiil in old position, How to do that??
Thanks a lot!!

Positive feedback? Then please take this in a positive way: if you want to work on persisting Java objects into XML, then GUI programming is irrelevant to that goal. The 1,000 lines of code you posted there appeared to me to have a whole lot of GUI code in it. You should produce a smaller (much smaller) example of what you want to do. Calling the working code from your GUI program should come later.

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to implement the XMLDAO.getObject(Node n) method. I was thinking of maintaining a Stack of the previous Objects as I traverse the DOM, but I think that might be unnecessary work. Basically I'm wondering how I determine what the last "object" is in the DOM from any given node. Anyone have any input?

I think the end of my post got cut off:

Urgent: How to find out the size in bytes of java object

Hi Experts,
We've a requirement that we need to find out the size of a java object at run time, is there a direct java API to get the size of a composite object in memory?
Here is my requirement: We are adding string objects (which is an xml string of considerable size) into a List. After reaching certain size limit (lets say 5MB) of the list i need to put this data into DB as a CLOB. So every time I add a string object to the list, I need to see if the total size of the list exceeds the limit and if yes, flush the results into DB.
I am not sure if java has a direct API for this, if not what is the beast way to do it, it s critical requirement for us.
It would be really great if someone could help us out.
Thank you,
-Shibu.

Could you explain your actual requirement a little more fully.
1. Is each individual string a separate XML string? Or is it just a fragment? Why would you just concatenate them together into a CLOB? That won't produce valid XML and it won't let you easily separate the pieces again later. So provide a simple example showing some strings and how you need to manipulate them.
2. Are you using these xml strings in Java at all? Or are you just loading them into the database?
For example if you are just loading them into the database you don't need to create a list. Just create a CLOB in Java and append each string to the CLOB. Before you append each one you can check to see if the new string will put you over your length limit. If it will then you write the CLOB to the database, empty the CLOB and start appending again to the new clob instance.
If you explain what you are really trying to do we might be able to suggest some better ways to do it.

Parse of a xml file to an java object model

Hello,
I'm trying to do a program that receive an xml file and ought to create all the neccesary java objects according to the content of the parsed xml file.
I've all the class created for all the objects that could be present into the xml and the idea is to go down in the tree of nodes recursively until it returns nodes more simple. Then, I create the last object and while I come back of the recursively calls, I create the objects more complex until I reached to the main object.
Until now, I have part of this code, that is the one wich have to parse the parts of the xml.
public static void readFile(String root){
          DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory
               .newInstance();

               Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File(root)).useDelimiter("\\Z");
               String contents = scanner.next();
               scanner.close();
               Document document = builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(contents.getBytes()));

               if (childNode.getNodeType() == childNode.DOCUMENT_NODE){
                    System.out.println("Document node Name " + childNode.getNodeName());

                    System.out.println("Node value " + childNode.getNodeValue());

               System.out.print(node.getNodeName() + " ");
               System.out.print(node.getNodeValue() + " ");
              }I don't know the use of childNodeType. For example, I expected that the XML tags with childs in his structure, enter by the option NODE_DOCUMENT and the tags without childs by the ELEMENT_NODE.
But the most important problem I've found are the nodes [#text] because after one ELEMENT_NODE I always found this node and when I ask if the node hasChilds, always returns true by this node.
Has any option to obtain this text value, that finally I want to display without doing other recursively call when I enter into the ELEMENT_NODE option?
When one Node is of type DOCUMENT_NODE or DOCUMENT_COMMENT? My program always enter by the ELEMENT_NODE type
Have you any other suggestions? All the help or idea will be well received.
Thanks for all.

Hello again,
My native language is Spanish and sorry by my English I attemp write as better I can, using my own knowledge and the google traductor.
I have solved my initial problem with the xml parser.
Firstly, I read the complete XML file, validated previously.
The code I've used is this:
public static String readCompleteFile (String root){
          String content = "";
          try {
               Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File(root)).useDelimiter("\\Z");
               content = scanner.next();
               scanner.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          return content;
     }Now, I've the file in memory and I hope I can explain me better.
I can receive different types of XML that could be or not partly equals.
For this purpose I've created an external jar library with all the possible objects contained in my xml files.
Each one of this objects depend on other, until found leaf nodes.
For example, If I receive one xml with a scheme like the next:
<Person>
    <Name>Juliet</Name>
    <Father Age="30r">Peter</Father>
    <Mother age="29">Theresa</Mother>
    <Brother>
    </Brother>
    <Education>
        <School>
        </school>
    </education>
</person>
<person>
</person>The first class, which initializes the parse, should selecting all the person tags into the file and treat them one by one. This means that for each person tag found, I must to call each subobject wich appears in the tag. using as parameter his own part of the tag and so on until you reach a node that has no more than values and or attributes. When the last node is completed I'm going to go back for completing the parent objects until I return to the original object. Then I'll have all the XML in java objects.
The method that I must implement as constructor in every object is similar to this:
public class Person{
final String[] SUBOBJETOS = {"Father", "Mother", "Brothers", "Education"};
private String name;
     private Father father;
     private Mother mother;
     private ArrayList brothers;
     private Education education;
     public Person(String xml){
       XmlUtil utilXml = new XmlUtil();
          String xmlFather = utilXml.textBetweenXmlTags(xml, SUBOBJETOS[0]);
          String xmlMother = utilXml.textBetweenXmlTags(xml, SUBOBJETOS[1]);
          String xmlBrothers = utilXml.textBetweenMultipleXmlTags(xml, SUBOBJETOS[2]);
          String xmlEducation = utilXml.textBetweenXmlTags(xml, SUBOBJETOS[3]);
          if (!xmlFather.equals("")){
               this.setFather(new Father(xmlFather));
          if (!xmlMother.equals("")){
               this.setMother(new Father(xmlMother));
          if (!xmlBrothers.equals("")){
            ArrayList aux = new ArrayList();
            String xmlBrother;
            while xmlBrothers != null && !xmlBrothers.equals("")){
              xmlBrother = utilXml.textBetweenXmlTags(xmlBrothers, SUBOBJETOS[2]);
              aux.add(new Brother(xmlBrother);
              xmlBrothers = utilXml.removeTagTreated(xmlBrothers, SUBOBJETOS[2]);
            this.setBrothers(aux);
          if (!xmlEducation.equals("")){
               this.setEducation(new Father(xmlEducation));
}If the object is a leaf object, the constructor will be like this:
public class Mother {
     //Elements
     private String name;
     private String age;
     public Mother(String xml){
          XmlUtil utilXml = new XmlUtil();
          HashMap objects = utilXml.parsearString(xml);
          ArraysList objectsList = new ArrayList();
          String[] Object = new String[2];
          this.setName((String)objects.get("Mother"));
          if (objects.get("attributes")!= null){
               objectsList = objects.get("attributes");
               for (int i = 0; i < objectsList.size();i++){
                 Object = objectsList.get(i);
                 if (object[0].equals("age"))
                   this.setAge(object[1]);
                 else
     }Each class will have its getter and setter but I do not have implemented in the examples.
Finally, the parser is as follows:
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
public class XmlUtil {
     public HashMap parsearString(String contenido){
          HashMap objet = new HashMap();
          DocumentBuilderFactory factory;
          DocumentBuilder builder;
          Document document;
          try{
               if (content != null && !content.equals("")){
                    factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                    builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                    document = builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(content.getBytes()));
                    object = visitNodes(document);
               }else{
                    object = null;
          } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
               return null;
          } catch (SAXException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
               return null;
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
               return null;
          return object;
     private HashMap visitNodes (Node node){
          String nodeName = "";
          String nodeValue = "";
          ArrayList attributes = new ArrayList();
          HashMap object = new HashMap();
          Node childNode = node.getFirstChild();
          if (childNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE){
               nodeName = childNode.getNodeName();
               if (childNode.hasAttributes()){
                    attributes = visitAttributes(childNode.getAttributes());
               }else{
                    attributes = null;
               nodeValue = getNodeValue(childNode);
               object.put(nodeName, nodeValue);
               object.put("attributes", attributes);
          return object;
     private static String getNodeValue (Node node){
          if (node.hasChildNodes() && node.getFirstChild().getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE && !node.getFirstChild().getNodeValue().contains("\n\t"))
               return node.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
          else
               return "";
     private ArrayList visitAttributes(NamedNodeMap attributes){
          Node node;
          ArrayList ListAttributes = new ArrayList();
          String [] attribute = new String[2];
          for(int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++){
               atribute = new String[2];
               node = attributes.item(i);
               if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ATTRIBUTE_NODE){
                    attribute[0] = node.getNodeName();
                    attribute[1] = node.getNodeValue();
                    ListAttributes.add(attribute);
          return ListAttributes;
}This code functioning properly. However, as exist around 400 objects to the xml, I wanted to create a method for more easily invoking objects that are below other and that's what I can't get to do at the moment.
The code I use is:
import java.lang.reflect.Constructor;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
public class UtilClasses {
     public Object UtilClasses(String package, String object, String xml){
          try {
            Class class = Class.forName(package + "." + object);
            //parameter types for methods
            Class[] partypes = new Class[]{Object.class};
            //Create method object . methodname and parameter types
            Method meth = class.getMethod(object, partypes);
            //parameter types for constructor
            Class[] constrpartypes = new Class[]{String.class};
            //Create constructor object . parameter types
            Constructor constr = claseObjeto.getConstructor(constrpartypes);
            //create instance
            Object obj = constr.newInstance(new String[]{xml});
            //Arguments to be passed into method
            Object[] arglist = new Object[]{xml};
            //invoke method!!
            String output = (String) meth.invoke(dummyto, arglist);
            System.out.println(output);
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SecurityException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InstantiationException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
          return null;
     }This is an example obtained from the Internet that I've wanted modified to my needs. The problem is that when the class calls this method to invoke the constructor and does not fail, this does not do what I expect, because it creates an empty constructor. If not, the parent class gives a casting error.
I hope that now have been more clear my intentions and that no one has fallen asleep reading this lengthy explanation.
greetings.

How to create and instance of Java Object from an XML Document.

Hi,
How can we use a XML Document to create an instance of Java Object and do vice versa ie from the Java Object creating the XML Document.
XML Document is available in the form of a String Object.
Are there helper class available to achieve this.
I need to do this in a Servlet.
Regards
Pramod.

JAXB is part of JavaSE while Xmlbeans claims full schema support and full infoset fidelity.
If the standard APIs do all that you need well then use them.
