Creating an XML file using Java Standalone

Hi,
My problem is -
1) write a java stand alone retrieving data from database and put the data in XML format (i.e; we have to create an XML file).
How to do this? Could any one of you please suggest me how to code or can i have any links that refer the code snippets.
Thanks.

Could someone give me a link with information on how SAX is used to create an XML?

How to write as XML file using java 1.5

hi all,
i am trying to create an XML file using java 1.5. I took a XML creating java file which was working with java 1.4 and ported same file into java 1.5 with changes according to the SAX and DOM implmentation in java 1.5 and tried to compile. But while writing as a file it throws error "cannot find the symbol."
can any body help me out to solve this issue.......

FileOutputStream outpt = new FileOutputStream(outdir + "//forbranch.xml");
Writer outf = new OutputStreamWriter(outpt, "UTF-8");
//error is occuring here Since write method is not available in the Document class
xmlDoc.write(outf);
outf.flush();

Hi,
when I look in the JDK1.4.2 specification I don't see any write method in the Document interface.
However, your solution is the Transformer class. There you transform your DOM tree into any output you need. Your code sould look something like this:     TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
     // set all necessary features for your transformer -> see OutputKeys
     Transformer t = tf.newTransformer();
     t.transform(new DOMSource(xmlDoc), new StreamResult(file));Then you have your XML file stored in the file system.
Hope it helps.

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication

How I can create a XML file from java Aplication
whith have a the following structure
<users>
<user>
<login>anyName</login>
<password>xxxx</password>
</user>
</users>
the password label must be encripted
accept any suggestion

Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
bingo you have a flat file with the xml
2. Use data binding to do the trick
will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option

Creating an xml file from java.

I trying to create an xml file using a java program. I just wondering what is the best way to go about it and what should i use jdom ,xerces sax etc.

Use JAXP+SAX.
Here an example:import java.io.*;
// SAX classes.
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.*;
//JAXP 1.1
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import javax.xml.transform.sax.*;
// PrintWriter from a Servlet
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(out);
SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance();
// SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING,"ISO-8859-1");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"users.dtd");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,"yes");
hd.setResult(streamResult);
hd.startDocument();
AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
// USERS tag.
hd.startElement("","","USERS",atts);
// USER tags.
String[] id = {"PWD122","MX787","A4Q45"};
String[] type = {"customer","manager","employee"};
String[] desc = {"Tim@Home","Jack&Moud","John D'o�"};
for (int i=0;i<id.length;i++)
atts.clear();
atts.addAttribute("","","ID","CDATA",id);
atts.addAttribute("","","TYPE","CDATA",type[i]);
hd.startElement("","","USER",atts);
hd.characters(desc[i].toCharArray(),0,desc[i].length());
hd.endElement("","","USER");
hd.endElement("","","USERS");
hd.endDocument();
[i]This xml generation program might be the best solution because it uses JAXP 1.1 so it will work under JDK 1.4 or JDK 1.2/1.3 with XALAN2 library (or any XML library JAXP 1.1 compliant). It's also memory-friendly because it doesn't need DOM.
See http://www.javazoom.net/services/newsletter/xmlgeneration.html
Hope That Helps

Create an XML file from Java

I'm a new user of XML. I've a very important question:
Is it possible create an XML file using some java package? If yes what package i must use? JDOM is the right product?
Thanks

Yes, JDOM is the right choice for 99% of your work.
DOM is too difficult to use.
That is the reason why JDOM has been developped.

SAX: How to create new XML file using SAX parser

Hi,
Please anybody help me to create a XML file using the Packages in the 5.0 pack of java. I have successfully created it reading the tag names and values from database using DOM but can i do this using SAX.
I am successful to read XML using SAX, now i want to create new XML file for some tags and its values using SAX.
How can i do this ?
Sachin Kulkarni

SAX is a parser, not a generator.Well,
you can use it to create an XML file too. And it will take care of proper encoding, thus being much superior to a normal textwriter:
See the following code snippet (out is a OutputStream):
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
      StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(pw);
      SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      //      SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
      TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
      Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");//
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"pdfBookmarks.xsd");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"http://schema.inplus.de/pdf/1.0");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
      hd.setResult(streamResult);
      hd.startDocument();
      //Get a processing instruction
      hd.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet","type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mystyle.xsl\"");
      AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "someattribute", "CDATA", "test");
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "moreattributes", "CDATA", "test2");
       hd.startElement("", "", "MyTag", atts);
String curTitle = "Something inside a tag";
          hd.characters(curTitle.toCharArray(), 0, curTitle.length());
    hd.endElement("", "", "MyTag");
      hd.endDocument();
You are responsible for proper nesting. SAX takes care of encoding.

I need to create .pst ext . file using java,whi will import in ms outlook

{color:#ff0000}*I need to create .PST extension file using java which will be able to import in ms outlook,and that .pst file will contain root folder (like Personal Folders) and inbox,sent mail*{color}
give me some hint It is essential task .we have to implement code in java

I'm using the thin drivers.
The answer to your question is no, you do not need to create a DSN to connect to Oracle. The Oracle thin driver is all that is required. Your code looks OK to me, I'm assuming that you xxx'd out the IP, and that you are using a real IP in the actual code.
The message you got back is pretty generic, but can indicate that the Oracle database listener isn't available. Perhaps the database is on a different port, or perhaps the listerner isn't running. Perhaps you have the IP address wrong.
So, to be very basic:
1) Can you ping the server you are trying to connect to? This makes sure you are using a valid IP address.
2) Can you connect to the Oracle server from an Oracle client? This makes sure the listener is running properly, and that you know the correct port number and login information (The port number could be in a local or server based TNS file, or available through an Oracle names server. You might try using the program tnsping if it is available on the client for validation.
3) If you can do 1 and 2, then be sure you are using the same connection parameters (server, port userid and password) that worked with 2.
4) Verify that you are using (pointing to) the correct set of Oracle classes for the thin connection. This can be tricky if you have different versions of Oracle on the client then on the server, but is documented on the Oracle website.
5) If everything checks out, you might want to verify that you are using the most recent versions of the thin drivers, including the Oracle patches.
Hope it helps - good luck,
Joel

Create xml file using java

how can i create an xml file with some data in java ?

You can use the JAXB API to create a java objects that represent a certain DTD. You can then create the xml file by using these objects to conform to a DTD. Each of the objects effectively represent one element or set of elements in an xml file. See www.java.sun.com/xml and JAXB for more details.

How Do I write an XML file using Java?

Hello there!! to everyone reading my post.
I have this project I need to do, and I have no clue where to start, I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
I need to know how to write an XML file using a Java Program, but without using a Third party library.... just using java native APIs.
I will probably take the values to construct the file from a form.
I will certainly appreciate if you could post some sample code for me.
Thank you very much in advance..

Hello there!,
I have some doubts about the Tutorial I am currently reading. correct me If I'm wrong, but the section "Write a simple XML file" teaches you how to do so using a text editor. I need to create my XML file from a running Java Program written by myself, that takes the values to build it from some variables.
If I'm totally wrong about what I'm saying, could you please point me to where I can find the information of how to do what I'm asking for, inside the tutorial.
Thank you very much,...
sincerely.

How to create nested xml tags using java parser?

Hi,
I need to create a xml file containing following tags using java program-
<A attr1="abc">
<B attr2="xyz">
<C attr3="pqr"> </C>
</B>
</A>
Can anyone please let me know which parser should I use to create the above mentioned xml file?
If possible, please post a code snippet for the same.
Thanks in advance..

Well, you could start by doing it all the 'old fashioned' way; create a String object containing that text and then write it away to a file. Or you could take the time to look at the javadoc for all of the xml support that the Java language itself supplies - XMLReader/Writer for a start. After that put together some code that you think would do the job and ask for help on any specific problems you encounter.

Create dynamically xml file from java.

Hi all,
I got class information in java program. I have to put method name and return type into xml. The xml file is like this and i have created this file.
<method>
<name></name>
<returnType></returnType>
</method>
Now when I get method information I want to put it in xml, not by writing each method name explicitly in file, mean i have to load this xml into memory for that what should i do?
Please help me I am new in XML.
Thanks in advance.
-regards
bunty

If you save your XML file as "methodinfo.xml", you can use the following code:import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = parser.parse(new File("methodinfo.xml"));
Node nameNode = doc.getElementsByTagName("name").item(0);
Node returnTypeNode = doc.getElementsByTagName("returnType").item(0);
nameNode.setTextContent("the name of the method");
returnTypeNode.setTextContent("the return type of the method");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
System.out.println("This is the content of the XML document:\n");
transformer.transform(source, result);
catch (Exception e){
...The content of the XML document will be displayed as follows:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<method>
<name>the name of the method</name>
<returnType>the return type of the method</returnType>
</method>
