Converting Element to String -- how?

How do I convert an Element back into its textual XML representation?

Convert with the DOM 3.0 LSSerializer class.
Element element;
Node node=(Node)element;
DOMImplementationLS impl = new  XMLDOMImplementation();
LSSerializer serializer = impl.createLSSerializer(
  DOMImplementationLS.MODE_SYNCHRONOUS,
  "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
serializer.writeToString(node);

  • XML Element to string conversion returning null

    Hi,
    When i try to convert XML Element to string using toString() API, it returns something like [device: null] where device is element tag.
    Code is as follows -
    Document xmlDoc;
    DOMParser parser = (DOMParser)Class.forName("org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser").newInstance();
    parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/defer-node-expansion", true );
    parser.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(tableStr)));
    xmlDoc = parser.getDocument();
    Element root = xmlDoc.getDocumentElement();
    NodeList nodeList = root.getElementsByTagName("device");
    Element deviceNode = (Element)nodeList.item(nodeList.getLength()-1);
    System.out.println(deviceNode.toString()); //prints [device: null] ????
    System.out.println(deviceNode.getAttribute("ipAddress")); //prints correct ip address
    Any idea why i am getting [device: null] when trying to convert Element to String though attribute value is retrieved.
    Thanks,
    Deepak

    Hello ,
    I want to get the root node (<ZTOP60_XML_TAG_STRUCTURE>

  • CS3/CS4/CS5 Win/Mac: How can I convert a Windows string to mac?

    Hi
    I have a Windows coded string. I like to convert this string into a Macintosh string. This means several characters are changed, e.g. ä, ö or ü.
    Is there a method in the Indesign SDK?
    How can I convert a windows string into a macintosh string and back?

    I don't think this should work that way. If this string is in resource file, use UTF-8 encoding and make PMString do its job. use kResourceUTF8Encoded in StringTable:

  • How to convert number to string in java

    hi how can i convert number to string in java
    something like
    public void Discription(Number ownerName){
    String.valueOf(ownerName);Edited by: adf009 on 2013/04/08 7:14 PM

    Yet another way of doing it is: ownerName.toString().
    If you are working in and IDE such as Netbeans or Eclipse, type a period after the object name. Wait a second or so. Eclipse/Netbeans Intellisense will show you a list of functions that object provides that you can choose from. toString() is one of them.

  • Premiere elements 2.0    how to convert mpeg to avi   PLEASE HELP

    Here is my problem, I am putting together a hi light video for my sons football seasons. Most of the seasons I have videotaped myself. When I capture the video in Elements it creates several avi files that I can pick and choose from, each file is created from when I pause during recording. I have one seasons worth of videos where I was not the one taping. I have dvd discs that the guy taping gave me. I can put the dvd file into elements and even put it in the time line but it shows up as one long clip....not segmented. It is also an mpeg file. I can use the razor tool to segment it in spots but have no way to convert the file within elements. When I save the project it still stays as one continuous mpeg file in my adobe folder regardless of whether or not I segment it with the razor tool. Oh, and if I haven't made it clear yet I am an Elements idiot. How can I get the files off the dvd to use in the manner in which I need to use them????? Do I have to use a seperate program to make them avi files?????

    If i write an integer value instead of "count" then Unhandled exception type Unsupported Encoding Exception error is left.This is elementary. You need to go back to [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/] .

  • Covert DOM element to String

    It sounds very simple, however could not find any solution using JAXP.
    What I need is that I have a DOM element, I want to convert the DOM element into String and store into the database. I used to do it using JDOM. It has a feature something like toString.
    I know that serialization is another option, however, want to know how to do this way.

    xmlString.getBytes()No, that causes your problem. Read the documentation to see what the getBytes() method does. Here's what you should do instead:Document document = documentBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlString)));This doesn't convert from String to bytes using a bad encoding. But you also say:
    xmlString contains Japanese characters and was originally from a xml file with UTF-8 encoing.In this case there's a good chance that in reading from the file to the String you have also failed to use UTF-8 to do the decoding. Why not just pass a File object to the parser and let it deal with the encoding issues? It knows what to do.

  • Problem with JTree converting Node to string

    I have a problem that I cannot slove with JTree. I have a DefaultMutalbeTreeNode and I need its parent and convert to string. I can get its parent OK but cannot convert it to string.
    thisnode.getParent().toString() won't work and gives an exception
    thisnode.getParent() works but how do I convert this to string to be used by a database.
    Thanks
    Peter Loo

    You are using the wrong method to convert it to a String array.
    Try replacing this line:
    String[] tabStr = (String[])strList.toArray();
    With this line:
    String[] tabStr = (String[])strList.toArray( new String[ 0 ] );
    That should work for you.

  • Is there an easy way to convert a long string into an array?

    I can convert a long string into a 1-d array by parsing and using build array, but I would like to know if there is a function to make this easier.
    For example:
    from/   aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbccccccccdddddddd         (string of ascii)
    to/       an array that is 1-d with each element having eight characters
              aaaaaaaa
              bbbbbbbb
              cccccccc
              dddddddd
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try something like this:
    (If you can guarantee that the string length is an integer multiple of 8, you an drop the two triangular modes in the upper left. )

  • Converting Datetime in String in map

    Hello all,
    I am reciving a message from a system A, in which I am receiving field DOB as datetime and I am sending same message to system B , problem is that system B not able to handle DOB at there end as datetime - I have checked at BizTalk side that DOB
    is going correct so issue is at system B side. now system B wants BizTalk system to send them DOB field as string.
    What could be the possible way's to do this ?
    1) We can change both schema System A schema and System B schema and map them is one way .
    2) Can we take datetime and convert it to string using some funtoid ? and send that string to system B ? How ?
    Is there other way for this ?
    Thanks,
    Nitin
    Thanks and Regards, Nitin.

    Hi Nitin,
    First find out how the destination system consumes the datatime value. Some system would consume the value in the datetime field as string. It could be the problem in the format of the datetime. Ask them about their expected datetime format. For example
    "2004-09-23T10:20:00.000-05:00" is the standard datetime format produced when you set a field as xssd:datetime. May be the destination system not able to handle this format.
    If the issue is in the datatype i.e. in the way client consume, the datatype of the destination schema matter:
    Then update the destination schema's to have string datetype. And simply map the value from the soruce's datetime field to destination schema's update string field. You don't need any scripting fuctiond to convert the data type. BizTalk's mapper would handle
    it.
    If the issue is in the date format  i.e. in the way client consume, the datatype of the destination schema doesn't matter, and if the actual problem is in the format:
    Then update the destination schema's to have string datetype. Use a scripting fuctiond as suggested by others and do the conversion in the script.

    Hello All,<br /><br />I am sure this is something simple, but I am just not figuring it out right now.<br /><br />I am following the sample - "Converting an XML string to a byte stream" from the developer guide since I want to prepopulate just 1 field in my PDF form.<br /><br />How do I reference my form field within my servlet code properly??<br /><br />I have tried a few things now, my field is within a subform, so I thought it would be <root><subformName><fieldname>My data</fieldname></subformName></root>  I have also tried adding <page1> in there too.<br /><br />I am following everything else exactly as given in the sample code.<br /><br />I do have an embedded schema within the form and the field is bound.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Jennifer

    Well, if you have a schema defined in the form, then the hierarchy of your data must match what is described in the schema. So, can't really tell you what it would look like, but just follow your schema.

  • Converting a given string to non-english language

    {color:#0000ff}Hi can anybody help me how to convert an entered string in textfield to french or spanish or to anyother non-english language?{color}

    Hi,
    I don't think you get a language translator package.
    What you can do is store the fraises, words in a database.
    //SQL Code
    CREATE TABLE [Language_Data]
      [ID]    INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
      [Lang]  VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,                             //Lang English/French.....
      [Type]  CHAR(1) NOT NULL,                                 //is Fraise or Word
      [Words] VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL                             //Fraise or Word data
    GO
    CREATE TABLE [Translate]
      [ID]       INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
      [FK_Orig]  INT NOT NULL REFERENCES [Language_Data]([ID]), //ID of the original language
      [FK_Trans] INT NOT NULL REFERENCES [Language_Data]([ID])  //ID's for all known translations
    GO Create Stored procedures to add a new word/fraise to the [Language_Data] table,
    Create a Stored Procedure to add a translation to the [Translate] table
    Please note that to add a translation you will first insert into the [Language_Data] table then
    insert the original's ID and the translation ID to the [Translate] table Also make prevision for backwards translation

  • Converting a hex String to its corresponding hex value...?

    Yeah, I'm having quite a bit of fun guessing this one... :p
    I have a string of n characters and have used Integer.toHexString( ( int )str.charAt( i ) ) to convert each character to a string representing its hex value. Now I need to USE that value for bit-wise operations, like, say, applying the AND, OR, etc. operators...
    Example:
    hexvalue &= 0xC000FFFF; //the second value is the one extracted from the string;
    How can achieve this...? Any help is greatly appreciated... :}

    Since a Java char is numerically a Java short, you can apply bitwise operators to chars directly - the conversion to hex simply changes the way that the char is viewed; the result can also be viewed as a number in other bases.
    For instance, the char 'A' can be also be represented as any of the following values:
    binary - 1000001
    octal - 101
    decimal - 65
    hex - 41
    Likewise, 'Z' can also be viewed as
    binary - 1011010
    octal - 132
    decimal - 90
    hex - 5A
    "Anding" the letter 'A' with 'Z' ('A' & 'Z') or doing the same using any of the other representations will result in (binary 1000000, octal 100, decimal 64, or hex 40) - the bit pattern is the same, only the representation of the result varies.
