Conversion of DOM object to XML file

Hi
Is there a direct method for conversion of a Document object to xml file? My code is like this
Transformer aTransformer = tranFactory.newTransformer();
          System.out.println("Tansformers :"+aTransformer);
          aTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
          DOMSource src = new DOMSource(resultDocument);
          System.out.println("src :"+src);
          Result dest = new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(new File(filepath)));
          System.out.println("desc :"+dest);
          aTransformer.transform(src, dest);
but the line DOMSource src = new DOMSource(resultDocument);
is giving me an error like "undefined constrctor" . what must be the problem?
Thanks

DOMSource src = new DOMSource(resultDocument);
resultDocument should be of type org.w3c.Node

Converting Document object into XML file

I was wondering how to convert a document object to XML file? I have read the documentation about document and Node but nothing explains the procedure of the conversion. Ive been told that it can be done, but not sure how. I have converted an XML file into Document by parsing DocumentBuilder. Just not sure how to do the reverse. Any help appreciated.

TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer trans = tf.newTransformer();
trans.transform(new DOMSource(yourDOMsRootNode), new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(yourFileName)));or something a lot like that.

Dynamically create Value Objects from XML file

Hi
I want to create a value object from Xml file dynamically,like in the xml file i have the name of the variable and the datatype of the variable.is it possible do that,if so how.

Read about apache's Digester tool. This is part of the Jakartha project. This tool helps in creating java objects from the XML files. I am not sure, if that is what u r looking for.

How to convert DOM Tree in XML File

Hi there,
I am successful to build a DOM tree in memory where i am adding elements. Now after all this i want to make a XML file of that DOM representation. Now, i am confused with my code that how to transfer DOM structure to xml file ? A small code is attached herewith ?
doc = db.newDocument();
               doc.normalizeDocument();
               doc.setXmlVersion("1.0");
               doc.createComment("Created By: Sachin Kulkarni");
               Element rn = doc.createElement("RootNode");
               Element n1 = doc.createElement("A1");
               ((Node)n1).setNodeValue("Element A1");
               Element n11 = doc.createElement("A11");

Is it any problem with the implementation ? How to use fileoutputstream with this ?

I have done like this:

Document doc = builder.newDocument();
Element root = (Element)doc.createElement("Root");
doc.appendChild(root);
Element address = (Element)doc.createElement("Address");
address.appendChild((Element)doc.createElement("Street"));
address.appendChild((Element)doc.createElement("PostCode"));
address.appendChild((Element)doc.createElement("Town"));
Element country = (Element)doc.createElement("Country");
country.setAttribute("type","EU");
Text cname = doc.createTextNode("Spain");
country.appendChild(cname);
address.appendChild(country);
root.appendChild(address);
TransformerFactory tranFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer aTransformer = tranFactory.newTransformer();
aTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
Source src = new DOMSource(doc);
Result dest = new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(new File("test.xml")));
aTransformer.transform(src, dest);

Write Out a DOM as an XML File in "pretty format"

Hi all,
I am using javax.xml.transform.Transformer to Write Out a DOM as an XML File. (URL: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JAXPXSLT4.html) It runs very well but in the XML output, it is not "format".
I means, for example, there are a line like (on one line):
Bonjour Madame, Monsieur,Voici LOT<label>LOT.VPLOT_CODE</label>�du batiment<label>BATIMENT.VPBAT_CODE</label>�
I would like to output like the IE show:
Bonjour Madame, Monsieur,
Voici LOT

<label>LOT.VPLOT_CODE</label>

du batiment

<label>BATIMENT.VPBAT_CODE</label>


How can I set properties for that, please?
thanks a lot
best regards
Hai

change System.out.print
to System.out.println
or insert "\n" whenever to want to start a new line"
for instance:
System.out.print("this line one.\nThis is line two");
will print
This is line one.
This is line two
or you can do
System.out.println("This is line one.");
System.out.println("this is line two");

Serializing Java Objects to XML files

Hi,
We looking for SAP library which can serialize Java Objects into XML files.
Can you point us were to find it ?
We have found such open source library called "XStream" at the following link
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/08/18/xstream.html
Is it allowed to use that library inside SAP released software ?
Thanks
Orit

How about https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/83f6d2fb-0c01-0010-a2ba-a2ec94ba08f4 [original link is broken] [original link is broken]? Depends on your use cases...
Both are supported in SAP NW CE 7.1.

Regarding conert the object to XML file

Hi all
i want to convert the object to XML file in my application.plz give me the sample code
Thanks in advance

Or you could make your object JavaBean compliant and save it using XMLEncoder and reload it by using XMLDecoder.
To be JavaBean compliant you basically need a no arg constructor and getters and setters for all fields you want to keep.
Aye,

Store and load objects to XML files using DOM

Hello everybody,
a quick question for all of you.
I'm designing a desktop application which requires a lot of custom objects to be stored into XML files and later reloaded from them. I'm planning to use DOM, creating an interface like this:
public interface StorableAsDom
// Create an object from a DOM tree
static Object createFromDom(org.w3c.dom.Node root) throws InvalidDomException;
// Get the DOM tree for an object
org.w3c.dom.DocumentFragment getDomTree(org.w3c.dom.Document doc) throws DOMException;
Then, every class which needs to be saved should implement the above interface. This way everything works fine.
My question is: do you know any available java package which already provides similar functionalities?
I'd like not to reinvent the wheel if I can; time is always a critical factor.
Thanks in advance to all of you.
Cheers

Hi,
When I need object -xml binding, I usually have two methods -
one for reading & one for writing (the "VOs" below stands for "Value Objects" [getters/setters & empty constructor only]):
READ: loadXML (= XML2VOs)
1.XML2DOM - this method can be generic
2.DOM2VOs - populate your VOs from the DOM just obtained in 1.
WRITE: saveXML (=VOs2XML)
1.VOs2DOM - create a new DOM document from your VOs' fields.
2.DOM2XML - this method can be generic
It would be nice (but dificult & not very elegant) to make DOM2VOs & VOs2DOM generic. If such methods will be written, they should be combined with the XML2DOM & DOM2XML (resp.) & then you would have two generic methods XML2VOs & VOs2XML... (Alternativelly, you can get Sun's JAXB package which does object-xml binding but this is not part of the JDK 5)
If what I have outlined above sounds like what you want to do, let me know if you want more details (eg. how the DOM2VOs would be implemented etc)...

Converting Dom Document object into XML file removes the DTD

Hi All
My xml is dtd. I have one xml file. i changed the node value after that i want to create a xml file with the same name. I created new xml file but i am not seeing the old dtd in the new file. This process is done with the help of jaxp.
My code is given below
File fileInput = new File("input.xml");
          File fileOutput = new File("output.xml");
          DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          factory.setExpandEntityReferences(false);
          DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
          Document document = builder.parse(fileInput);
          TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.INDENT, "true");
          transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
          DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileOutput);
          StreamResult result = new StreamResult(fos);
          transformer.transform(source, result);
Thanks in advance

The Transformer API does not guarantee the preservation of that information. You may want to check the DOM L3 Load/Save package (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html). Alternatively, you may force things by setting the additional output properties 'doctype-public' and 'doctype-system'.

Saving business objects into xml file

I have the following XML file parsed into a DOM tree, with 2 different types of nodes "TestCase" and
"RealCase". Then I mapped each type to a different type of business object, TestCaseObj and RealCaseObj.
Now, there may be addition of new objects, or modifications to the data stored in the business objects
by my application. Eventually when I save the business objects back into the XML file, how should I go
about doing that?
<ROOT>
<TestCase TestID="T1">
 <Element1>Data1</Element1>
 <Element2>Data2</Element2>
</TestCase>
<TestCase TestID="T2">
 <Element1>Data1</Element1>
 <Element2>Data2</Element2>
</TestCase>
<RealCase ID="R1">
 <Element1>Data1</Element1>
 <Element2>Data2</Element2>
 <Element3>Data3</Element3>
</RealCase>
<RealCase ID="R2">
 <Element1>Data1</Element1>
 <Element2>Data2</Element2>
 <Element3>Data3</Element3>
</RealCase>
</ROOT>

The DocumentBuilder class does not allow you to parse a portion of the xmlfile. Therefore, it will not be possible to read "TestCase" into the DOM without bringing in "RealCase" nodes as well. As such, these codes will parse the entire xml file into DOM:
DocumentBuilder builder = builderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse( xmlFile );
However, your problem can be solved by reading only "TestCase" nodes in DOM, as follows:
NodeList elementNodeList =
elementNode.getElementsByTagName("TestCase");
Your codes will then change the data in the elementNodeList, without affecting "RealCase" although it is loaded into DOM. You can be sure that elementNodeList contains only "TestCase" nodes.
Once you have made your changes, save the DOM back to the XML file, using the serializer method as discussed earlier.
Good luck.

How i can store a DOM Tree to XML file

I want to insert a xml documet into another another xml document and then store it.
for this i have parsed a xml document using com.sun.xml.parser and got its domtree in document doc1 by builder.getDocument(). After that i parsed another xml document and got it's domtree in document doc2 by builder.getDocument().
now i created a Document type doc . I create dom tree in doc that contains all the nodes of doc1 and insert the doc2 at a position . If i m printing this doc i got the required document. Now i want to store this doc into a xml file. so i paas thid doc and filename in which i want to store it into a function
public static void writeXmlToFile(String filename, Document document)
try
               // Prepare the DOM document for writing
     Source source = new DOMSource(document);
     // Prepare the output file
     File file = new File(filename);
     Result result = new StreamResult(file);
// Write the DOM document to the file
     // Get Transformer
     Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
          // Write to a file
     xformer.transform(source, result);
catch (TransformerConfigurationException e)
     System.out.println("TransformerConfigurationException: " + e);
catch (TransformerException e)
     System.out.println("TransformerException: " + e);
but i m getting following error

but i want to use com.sun.xml.parser like
import com.sun.xml.parser.*;
import com.sun.xml.tree.XmlDocumentBuilder;
XmlDocumentBuilder builder = new XmlDocumentBuilder();
Parser parser = new com.sun.xml.parser.Parser();
parser.setDocumentHandler(builder);
builder.setParser(parser);
builder.setDisableNamespaces(false);
parser.parse(uri);
doc = builder.getDocument();
when i m trying to store this doc into an xml file by passing this doc into funtion writeXmlToFile( filename, doc) then the errors occur (that i hav told in the first post)

Entity Object over XML file

USing Jdeveloper 11.1.1.0.2+ADF
Have anybody implemented an entity object over a XML file, i want to store some informations into a XML before connect to a database (the connection information) and be able to modify the data (create rows) using AF forms and tables.
Edited by: Fernando Ferpa Hackbart on Jun 18, 2009 5:39 PM

you have to write your own save/load functions, since you have to build your personnel xml document and then serilaize it
you can use nu.xom at this url

to parse your document

From org.w3c.dom.Document to XML file

Good morning to all! (morning here, in Barcelona).
I have a problem and I don't know how to look for a solution (which google query to do, which class to study in the java api...).
I parse a XML file into a Document with DOM, then make some modifications in its nodes... but how do I transform this modified information into a new XML file? is there any "toString" method for all the XML tree represented by the Document?
thanks a lot!

How to generate Java objects from XML files with out scema compilation

Dear participants,
My name is Raghavendra , i have a requirement of reading XML files Dynamically and parse them and create java types for manipulation . i will not be provided with sxd files (no schema compilation )coz no one knows how many types of structures are there. i want a generic solution. Please Help.
Thanks ,

You could also look at something like Apache Digester, which will parse your XML and populate Java objects with the data. A slightly steeper learning curve than the lower-level APIs such as JDOM, but that's outweighed by the lesser development effortdon't think that would work for the original problem, which seemed to indicate that the xml had an unknown structure.
