Convert xml to java bean

hi all
i want to know how to convert a XML file to a java bean and this bean should be integrated with obejectweb,a open source middleware.
1. how to create beans in NetBeans5.5
2. how to run the bean
3. how to connect the xml file to a bean program

I think you need to start over and read a few tutorials. You cannot "run" a bean (unless it has a main() method but that would be very non-standard). You should not worry about which IDE you are using (Eclipse, NetBeans, etc.) And you do not "connect" the XML file to the bean, which again is not a program.
The technologies you want to use will be JAXB (java XML binding) or Apache's XMLBeans. Both will require you to write a XML schema, which those API's can then use to create JavaBeans for you. There are tutorials for JAXB here at Sun and at Apache for XMLBeans.

  • Converting XML to Java in STB

    I am trying to convert xml to java. Looking for simple and light way to covert xml to java in STB.

    Heh - all the tags in your question got stripped out by the forum-to-email bridge :-)
    Anyway, basically you just parse the XML data. You can use some
    kind of library if you like, but it turns out that parsing an XML response
    that's consistently formatted the same way isn't all that hard to do directly.
    In the HD cookbook project, we have a sample xlet that does just this, reading
    weather data from some public web service out there (I forget which - maybe
    Yahoo's?) The xlet could be converted to work on MHP or OCAP without
    much work. This demo is in xlets/demos/weatherWidget, and the project
    is at http://hdcookbook.com, click on the sumo wrestler. It's in the source-code repository,
    but over on the right one of the links will let you browse individual files, which should
    get you pretty quickly to the XML parser in this demo.
    By the way, if you have a choice between JSON and XML in this environment, I'd
    personally go with JSON. It's simpler to parse and faster - indeed, see
    com.hdcookbook.grin.util.JsonIO in the cookbook repository. Of course, if you're
    interacting with a server under your control and you want maximum performance, you
    can use a more efficient binary format, too.
    Cheers,

  • Converting XML to Java Objects...possible?

    Hi, Am a newbie to JAXB. As far as I read, JAXB has facility to convert "XSD" (not XML) to Java "classes" (not objects). This can be done using xjc compiler. Can XML files (i.e. ones with data) be converted to Java objects (retaining the data from XML files)? If yes, please throw some light on how it can be done. If no, then is there some java technology to do such a thing?
    Thanks.

    If you are not interested in writing a bunch of code (which is probably the case), I know of a couple options for WLS 8.1:
    1. Use the "undocumented" and "unsupported" java2xsd class, in the %WL_HOME%\server\lib\webservices.jar.
    2. Use the Java2Schema tool in the Systinet Server for Java product.
    Here's the contents of a sample build.xml that uses the java2xsd class:
    <project
    name="java2xsd"
    default="assemble"
    basedir="."
    >
         <path id="compile.classpath">
              <fileset dir="d:/bea81sp4/">
                   <include name="lib/tools.jar" />
              </fileset>
              <fileset dir="d:/bea81sp4/weblogic81">
                   <include name="server/lib/weblogic.jar"/>
                   <include name="server/lib/webservices.jar"/>
              </fileset>
         </path>
         <target name="clean">
              <delete dir="xsd" />
         </target>
         <target name="run-java2xsd">
    <delete dir="xsd" />
    <mkdir dir="xsd"/>
    <java
         classname="weblogic.xml.schema.binding.util.java2xsd"
    fork="true"
    >
    <jvmarg line="-Djava.io.tmpdir=xsd"/>
    <arg line="
    com.acme.world.schema.x2005.x11.elending.Loan
    com.acme.world.schema.x2005.x11.elending.Applicant
    com.acme.world.schema.x2005.x11.ebillpay.Account
    "/>
    <classpath>
    <path refid="compile.classpath"/>
    <pathelement location="classes"/>
    </classpath>
    </java>
         </target>
         <target name="assemble" depends="run-java2xsd">
         </target>
    </project>
    Here, you would replace the paths in the <path> element of course, but you would also need to come up with a way to provide a list of the JavaBean classes to process. The good thing is that java2xsd is smart enough to put all the classes in a given Java package, in the same <xs:schema> element :-) For instance, in:
    <arg line="
    com.acme.world.schema.x2005.x11.elending.Loan
    com.acme.world.schema.x2005.x11.elending.Applicant
    com.acme.world.schema.x2005.x11.ebillpay.Account
    "/>
    the complexType element for "Loan" and "Applicant", will be defined in the same <xs:schema>. There will only be one schemas.xsd file. I don't know of an easy way to change the file name, but it will contain a <xs:schema> for each unique Java package name. Once you have this schemas.xsd file, you can decide how you want to create the XMLBeans from it. You can either break each <xs:schema> element out into it's own .xsd file, or create a WSDL that uses the contents of the schemas.xsd file. You'll notice that there is a <type> element wrapping all the <xs:schema> elements in the schemas.xsd file, which is exactly the name of the element that WSDL uses :-)
    Again, java2xsd is not a "supported" class, so don't confuse it (or the information provided above) with being "the tool that BEA provides" for doing what you want to do :-)

  • Java code to convert XML file to ISO XML format

    Hi Experts,
    I need to convert an XML file to ISO Xml format using Java code.I dont have any idea about the ISO XML format.I searched but what i am getting is ISO is an encoding in XML.
    It will be very helpful if any one can give me a sample ISO XML file, and any way around to carry out the required conversion.
    Thanks .
    Anika

    Hi,
    For ISO encoding you need the XML file to be converted with below providing the encoding paramter as ISO. for e.g.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    instead of
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    this can be possible with using XML encoders.
    Refer XML encoding--> http://www.w3schools.com/XML/xml_encoding.asp
    Refer Java Code with uasage of XMLEncoder

  • Create XML dynamically from schema and Java bean

    Hi,
    I'm looking for suggestions on the best approach to create an XML file programatically from a schema and Java bean.
    The schema used is not fixed and may vary with each request so a dynamic way to create the XML is required.
    Is there an API available that allows me to achieve this easily? Any help would be appreciated to point me in the right direction.
    Thanks.

    XMLBeans or JAXB should work for you.

  • How to get an XML string from a Java Bean without wrting to a file first ?

    I know we can save a Java Bean to an XML file with XMLEncoder and then read it back with XMLDecoder.
    But how can I get an XML string of a Java Bean without writing to a file first ?
    For instance :
    My_Class A_Class = new My_Class("a",1,2,"Z", ...);
    String XML_String_Of_The_Class = an XML representation of A_Class ?
    Of course I can save it to a file with XMLEncoder, and read it in using XMLDecoder, then delete the file, I wonder if it is possible to skip all that and get the XML string directly ?

    I think so too, but I am trying to send the object to a servlet as shown below, since I don't know how to send an object to a servlet, I can only turn it into a string and reconstruct it back to an object on the server side after receiving it :
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import java.util.*;
    class Servlet_Message        // Send a message to an HTTP servlet. The protocol is a GET or POST request with a URLEncoded string holding the arguments sent as name=value pairs.
      public static int GET=0;
      public static int POST=1;
      private URL servlet;
      // the URL of the servlet to send messages to
      public Servlet_Message(URL servlet) { this.servlet=servlet; }
      public String sendMessage(Properties args) throws IOException { return sendMessage(args,POST); }
      // Send the request. Return the input stream with the response if the request succeeds.
      // @param args the arguments to send to the servlet
      // @param method GET or POST
      // @exception IOException if error sending request
      // @return the response from the servlet to this message
      public String sendMessage(Properties args,int method) throws IOException
        String Input_Line;
        StringBuffer Result_Buf=new StringBuffer();
        // Set this up any way you want -- POST can be used for all calls, but request headers
        // cannot be set in JDK 1.0.2 so the query string still must be used to pass arguments.
        if (method==GET)
          URL url=new URL(servlet.toExternalForm()+"?"+toEncodedString(args));
          BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
          while ((Input_Line=in.readLine()) != null) Result_Buf.append(Input_Line+"\n");
        else     
          URLConnection conn=servlet.openConnection();
          conn.setDoInput(true);
          conn.setDoOutput(true);           
          conn.setUseCaches(false);
          // Work around a Netscape bug
          conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
          // POST the request data (html form encoded)
          DataOutputStream out=new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
          if (args!=null && args.size()>0)
            out.writeBytes(toEncodedString(args));
    //        System.out.println("ServletMessage args: "+args);
    //        System.out.println("ServletMessage toEncString args: "+toEncodedString(args));     
          BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
          while ((Input_Line=in.readLine()) != null) Result_Buf.append(Input_Line+"\n");
          out.flush();
          out.close(); // ESSENTIAL for this to work!          
        return Result_Buf.toString();               // Read the POST response data   
      // Encode the arguments in the property set as a URL-encoded string. Multiple name=value pairs are separated by ampersands.
      // @return the URLEncoded string with name=value pairs
      public String toEncodedString(Properties args)
        StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
        if (args!=null)
          String sep="";
          Enumeration names=args.propertyNames();
          while (names.hasMoreElements())
            String name=(String)names.nextElement();
            try { sb.append(sep+URLEncoder.encode(name,"UTF-8")+"="+URLEncoder.encode(args.getProperty(name),"UTF-8")); }
    //        try { sb.append(sep+URLEncoder.encode(name,"UTF-16")+"="+URLEncoder.encode(args.getProperty(name),"UTF-16")); }
            catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { System.out.println(e); }
            sep="&";
        return sb.toString();
    }As shown above the servlet need to encode a string.
    Now my question becomes :
    <1> Is it possible to send an object to a servlet, if so how ? And at the receiving end how to get it back to an object ?
    <2> If it can't be done, how can I be sure to encode the string in the right format to send it over to the servlet ?

  • Help required in building up the Java Bean for an XML data

    Hi ,
    I want to build a Java bean which will actually represent an xml data . The class will be named as User and it will typically represent the data in the follwing xml:
    <user>
    <cwsId>barbete</cwsId>
    <firstName>William</firstName>
    <lastName>Barber</lastName>
    <status>true</status>
    <role>
    <roleCode>1000000177</roleCode>
    <roleName>Customer Administrator</roleName>
    </role>
    <language>en</language>
    <country>US</country>
    <preferences>
    <equipmentGroup>2717</equipmentGroup>
    <dateFormat>MON-dd-yyyy</dateFormat>
    <timeFormat>HH:MI AM</timeFormat>
    <timeZone>-12:00</timeZone>
    <daylightSavings>Y</daylightSavings>
    <location>NC</location>
    <recordsPerPage>10</recordsPerPage>
    <historyPeriod>3</historyPeriod>
    <distanceUnit>MILE</distanceUnit>
    <fuelUnit>G</fuelUnit>
    <unitIdDisplay>E</unitIdDisplay>
    <smuUpdate>W</smuUpdate>
    <countries>
    <country>
    <countryCode>GB</countryCode>
    <countryName>UNITED KINGDOM</countryName>
    </country>
    <country>
    <countryCode>US</countryCode>
    <countryName>UNITED STATES</countryName>
    </country></countries>
    </preferences>
    </user>
    Now for single child nodes like cwsId of the main user node i have kept properties like
    private String cwsId;
    But i am not sure as to how to represent the nodes which contain subnodes like "preferences"node. Any ideas?What is the standard practice?

    One thing you could do is create an object model first, which will contain all the data for your user.
    then all you need in the bean is a Hashtable with the name of the user as a key, and the user-object (which is actually the complete object model) as a value.
    with the XML stated by you, you would get an object model something like this:
    Class User
        String cwsid;
        String firstName;
        ArrayList<Role> roles = new ArrayList<Role>(); //I'm assuming a user can have more then one role.
        ArrayList<Country> countries = new ArrayList<Country>();
    class Role {
        String code;
        String name;
    class Country {
        String code;
        String name;
    }And so on for all the varioous elemets of your XML.

  • How to convert xml file to xsl using java

    Hi all,
    I have an XML file with which i need to convert(transform) it to an xsl file using java.
    I am new to converting xml file to xslt.Please send me if u have code .
    Thanks in advance
    regards
    Ram

    You seem to be asking the wrong question. An XSL file can be used to transform an XML file, but transforming an XML into an XSL does not make sense. The API for running XSL transforms on the Java platform is described here:

  • Convert MBox into XML into Java Objects

    Hello all,
    this is a general question, i dont know weather there is such libs or not.
    However, please tell me what you know.
    i want to program a java application for searching purpose in Mbox.
    i thought its possible and easier to try to convert the emails from the MBox into XML files, and from these create java objects when i need or even convert the XML into html for viewing.
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Also antoher solutions are greate.
    thanks in advance!
    Sako.

    I don't know what this MBox you speak of is - I assume it's not the thing I use to hook upa guitar to GarageBand. Maybe you mean it as a generic term for mailbox? The easiest solution (to my mind) would be to use a Java API provided by whatever MBox is. If there is no such thing, then if you get XML-formatted version of the messages I suppose writing code to parse the XML into Java Objects would be a good option if you wanted to do further manipulation of them, but if all you want to do is display them as HTML in a browser then just use XSLT to transform them.
    Good Luck
