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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • 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

  • 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)...

  • 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 ,
    Raghavendra Ach
    you can mail me to " [email protected]"

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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'.

  • Sending Custom Java Objects over XML!!

    Hello all !
    Can anybody please tell me how can I send custom Java Objects through XML? For example we can set attributes for a node using the setAttribute method, it accepts only strings, also the setTextContent method requires text and sets the node's value.Can I some way set my own Java object as the value of a particular node or attach it to the node?
    Thanks in advance.

    So I should rather go for Marshalling or Serialization or is there any other work-around possible?I don't know. You didn't say what you had against text formats. Since all Java objects are composed of primitives when you get right down to the bottom, everything in Java can be serialized as text versions of those primitives. So you're going to have to explain why you think a work-around is necessary at all.

  • Store object in XML file

    Hello,
    I have a project class(object) which contains all information about the actual project. In this class there are some base type variables and some sub classes. To save the actual project object I don't want to use serialization but an XML output.
