Getting Node Value of an XML document in JAVA.

Hi,
In my application, I have got the exact node that I want by parsing the document, but the node value returned is null as the node is an element and the Java Documentation does specify that it will return null. I would like to know if there in any alternative way by which I can parse the document and get the specified value of the node or element. Kindly Help.

Well, there are not many mind readers on this forum.
You do not tell us how you are parsing the document, and so it is difficult determining why the node value is returned as a null.
There are two main styles of processing XML -- DOM and SAX. Dom (and its variants JDom and I think Dom4J) build a tree structure that is memory-resident. There are ways to walk up and down the tree, and locate arbitrary nodes in the tree.
The other style is SAX, which is much less intensive from a memroy perspective, but puts more work on you to keep what you want as the data goes flying by.
So, how are you "parsing the document" and what method is returning a null? That may give someone enough information to guess at your problem.

Getting Node Value of an XML element in JAVA.

Hi,
i am using the dom parser. My code is as follows.
Document xmlDocument, outputDoc;
               DocumentBuilderFactory dbfObject = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               DocumentBuilder dbObject = dbfObject.newDocumentBuilder();
               xmlDocument = dbObject.parse("IPD_Response.xml");
               Element dd = xmlDocument.getDocumentElement();
               NodeList ItemAttributes = dd.getElementsByTagName("Element Name");
               System.out.println("element" + ItemAttributes.item(0));
               Node ss = ItemAttributes.item(0);
               NodeList bb = ss.getChildNodes();
               Node cc = ss.getFirstChild();
               System.out.println("element sibling1 "+bb.item(0));
               System.out.println("element sibling 2"+bb.item(1));
               System.out.println("element sibling 3"+bb.item(2));
               System.out.println("element child "+cc);
               Node aa = bb.item(0);
               NodeList qqq = aa.getChildNodes();
               System.out.println("element sibling1---1 "+qqq.item(0));
               System.out.println("element sibling1---1 "+qqq.item(1));
               Node fff = qqq.item(0);
               Node aaa = qqq.item(1);
               String value1 = fff.getNodeValue();
               String value2 = aaa.getNodeValue();
               System.out.println("1st value "+value1+" 2nd value "+value2);What my code does is gets all the elements within a particular tag. After that i look for the child nodes, which i have done successfully. But when i get the value using getNodeValue(); method it will be null as per the Java Docs. Is there any other way by which i can get the node value. Kindly help.
How do you parse the XML Document ?
Are you using a DOM Document ?
Which parser do you use ?
How do you access the Element ?
Post the releveant part of the code and using the

Need help getting a value from an XML column

Hi,
I need to get a value from an XML column in a table (the column is called TEST_XML). I have tried using the Select TEST_XML.value function but it always returns nulls. Could you please take a look at the following xml sample stored in the TEST_XML column
and help me with the query syntax to get the value of the Bank_Account_Number?.

How to extract the nodes of any given XML document ???

Hello,
Greetings! It is an interesting forum.
A Snippet of XML Schema PurchaseOrder.xsd as given in user guide is as follows
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xdb="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb"
version="1.0" xdb:storeVarrayAsTable="true">
<xs:element name="PurchaseOrder" type="PurchaseOrderType"
xdb:defaultTable="PURCHASEORDER"/>
<xs:complexType name="PurchaseOrderType" xdb:SQLType="PURCHASEORDER_T">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Reference" type="ReferenceType" minOccurs="1"
xdb:SQLName="REFERENCE"/>
<xs:element name="Actions" type="ActionsType" xdb:SQLName="ACTIONS"/>
<xs:element name="Reject" type="RejectionType" minOccurs="0"
xdb:SQLName="REJECTION"/>
<xs:element name="Requestor" type="RequestorType"
xdb:SQLName="REQUESTOR"/>
<xs:element name="User" type="UserType" minOccurs="1"
xdb:SQLName="USERID"/>
<xs:element name="CostCenter" type="CostCenterType"
xdb:SQLName="COST_CENTER"/>
<xs:element name="ShippingInstructions" type="ShippingInstructionsType"
xdb:SQLName="SHIPPING_INSTRUCTIONS"/>
<xs:element name="SpecialInstructions" type="SpecialInstructionsType"
xdb:SQLName="SPECIAL_INSTRUCTIONS"/>
<xs:element name="LineItems" type="LineItemsType"
xdb:SQLName="LINEITEMS"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
full schema is available in url
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/appdev.101/b10790/xdb03usg.htm#BABBGIED
The views use XPath expressions and functions such as extractValue() to define the mapping between columns in the view and nodes in the XML document. The following view is created on purchase order schema.
Creating Relational Views On XML Content
CREATE OR REPLACE view PURCHASEORDER_MASTER_VIEW
(REFERENCE, REQUESTOR, USERID, COSTCENTER,
SHIP_TO_NAME,SHIP_TO_ADDRESS, SHIP_TO_PHONE,
INSTRUCTIONS)
AS
SELECT extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/Reference'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/Requestor'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/User'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/CostCenter'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/ShippingInstructions/name'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/ShippingInstructions/address'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/ShippingInstructions/telephone'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/SpecialInstructions')
FROM PURCHASEORDER p;
When we register XML Schema in Oracle 9i, the schema elements of XML documents are stored as XMLType, that is, stored using object-relational storage techniques.
For a small schema, we could build the above view manually, but for large/nested schema, if we have query to build XML documents node list, it will help us to build Relational Views on XML Content.
How do we extract the nodes of any given XML document through O-R structures or XML DB using XML DB functions?
Any alternate thoughts are welcome.
I appreciate your help.
Regards
Ram

Once again, I do not think that you can solve the problem you are trying to solve. Fundamentally you need to determine for a given element of a given complex type what are it's child elements. For each of those elements you then need to find out whether or not it in turn has child elements...
Then you have to think about elements defined as ref rather than type, elements that are substituteable, and the rest of possibilities that can be described with XML Schema.
If you can solve that problem you're a better man than I as the saying goes. Anyone rather than give you a fish, I'll show you how to at least put a worm on the hook..
The following query gets the names of the elements inside a each of the global complex types
Good luck, if you come up with a query to do this I'd love to see it...

Assigning a node value from an XML variable to a String type in Weblogic Process Integrator

Hi,
Is there any way to assign a node value from an XML variable to a String variable
in Weblogic Process Integrator...
Thanx.
Narendra.

Nerendra
Are you talking about using Xpath on the XML document and assigning to a
variable, it is unclear what you are asking

Getting unwanted values between the XML tags in XSLT mapping

Hi Folks
I have come across a very strange situation with my xslt mapping.
I am getting unwated values "11" between xml tags
as follows
<Tag>0001</Tag>
11
<DataID>3</DataID>
I am not sure why I am getting these values in between the tags. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi David,
Here is the code fragment where these 2 tags are mapped, FYI, the source is an IDOC message. The unwanted "11" is coming After the <Tag></Tag> and <DataID></DataID>. FYI, Fof the element <Tag></Tag> its a default value. But for <DataID> </DataID> I have the mapping logic.
<Order>
            <OrderHeader>
              <Tag>009</Tag>

How to search for a text node with a particular value in an xml document with labview

supposing i have the following xml document:
<head>
<book>
<bookname>zio</bookname>
<author>dan</author>
</book>
<book>
<bookname>the spear warrior</bookname>
<author>britney</author>
</book>
<book>
<bookname>the beard</bookname>
<author>derrick</author>
</book>
</head>
i want to search for the author of the book "the beard" using for example the V.I Get first match of labview to access the the node with value "the beard" and then use Get next sibling V.I and Get node text content to get get the author of this book..so my question is how do i write the xpath expression for Get first match so as to access the node with bookname "the beard" instantyly? am trying to minimise the use of loops because they increase the time duration,..thank you (NB:i dont want to use Get all Matched V.I because it obliges me to use a loop in order to access the name derrick and this increases the time duration for my v.i)
Solved!

Since it's all text, why not use a real quick Match Pattern (or Regular Expression, but you don't need that much power here), see attached.

Xml: how to get node value when pasing node name as a parameter

Hi,
I've got some xml:
var xmlData:XML =
<1stNode>
    <buttonID>first child node value</buttonID>
    <imageID>second child node value</imageID>
    <labelID>third child node value</labelID>
</1stNode>
Then I want to read specific node value based on a value passed to a function. .
var buttonID = new Button;
var imageID = new Image;
var labelID = new Label;
getNodeValue(buttonID); //the value here is set dynamically
private function getNodeValue (nodeName:String):void {
trace (xmlData.nodeName)                      //doesn't work
var str:String = "xmlData." + nodeName;
var xml:XMLList = str as XMLList             //doesn't work
I'm don't know how to get the value when node name is dynamically changed.

use:
getNodeValue(buttonID); //the value here is set dynamically
private function getNodeValue (nodeName:String):void {
trace (xmlData[nodeName])

Get node value from xml?

I want to read a XML file so am trying like this:
            DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
            m_doc = docBuilder.parse("formular/faktura2.xml");
            Element root = m_doc.getDocumentElement();
            root.normalize();
            NodeList list = root.getChildNodes();
            for (int k=0; k<list.getLength(); k++)
                Node nd = list.item(k);
                System.out.println("node "+nd);
            }The output of this code is:
<datatabel>
<navn>Tabel</navn>
<aktiv>1</aktiv>
<tabel>BILAGSPOSTER</tabel>
<kolonne>
<navn>VareNr</navn>
<hoved>VareNr</hoved>
<bredde>50</bredde>
<aktiv>1</aktiv>
</kolonne>
<id>1</id>
<fontNavn>Verdana</fontNavn>
<fontStr>12</fontStr>
<fontFed>0</fontFed>
<fontKur>0</fontKur>
<fontUnd>0</fontUnd>
<posX>83.0</posX>
<posY>463.0</posY>
<bredde>440.0</bredde>
<hoejde>150.0</hoejde>
</datatabel>
But how do I get the values inside nodes? I tried with getNodeValue() but then the only output I get is null. Can someone plz help me with this?

Try this:
   /** Lists a node and its childs */
   public static void listNodes(Node root) {
      System.out.println("Node "+root);
      if (!root.hasChildNodes()) return;
      NodeList nodes = root.getChildNodes();
      for (int k=0; k<nodes.getLength(); k++) {
         listNodes(nodes.item(k));
   }Hope this helped,
Regards.

Getting null value while parsing "XML String" with encoding WINDOWS-1252.

Hi,
when I am converting the Follwoing "xml string " to Document, I am getting the "null" as a document value.
    String strXML = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?>
                          <category name="SearchByAttributes" value="Search By Attributes">
                            <item name="ORDER_LINE_ID" description="Application Search Attributes" >
                               <attribute name="Sequence" value="0001"/>
                             </item>
                            </category>"
My "xml string" has the encoding vaule: WINDOWS-1252.
I am using the following code to convert the "xml string" to Document. I am getting the Document values as a "null" while converting the above "string xml"
        String strXML = //my above string xml.
        DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        docBuilderFactory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
        docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
        doc = docBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(strXML)));
        System.out.println("doc value.."+doc)//I am getting null value for "doc".
Can anyone help me to resolve the issue.

//getting Element Name as...."#text"(I am expecting output value "attribute" but it is printing "#text" which i don't know)
System.out.println("Element Attibrute list....."+elementAtt);
//getting Element Attribute list as an...."null"(I am expecting output value object reference but it is printing "null"
(without the rest of the code, i'm guessing that) most likely you are grabbing the first child node of the item element. however, you are not accounting for some text nodes that are most likely in that list, like the whitespace between the item element and the attribute element. please go read some tutorials on xml, there are thousands of them out there, and they will answer all you initial questions much more efficiently than posting each step to the forums.

Can't get the DOM to output XML document tags in correct order.

I'm trying to output an XML document from the DOM using the DOMWriter class: new DOMWriter(document, filename, outputEncoding, encodingTag, getDocTypeString());
It refuses to output the tags in the correct order so my document always fails validation when it is read back in. I've tried explicitly placing the elements in the correct order into the DOM and it still outputs them the way it wants to. Is there some method I'm missing to set the xsd or dtd to validate the output on. It actually appears as though it has a definite idea as to what order the tags should be output, because no matter what order I append the nodes into the document, it always outputs them in the same incorrect order. I've got the validation working when it reads the document in. Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to output the tags in the correct order?

Does anyone know what I
have to do to get it to output the tags in the correct
order?You have to build the DOM in the correct way. Based on the code you posted it's impossible to tell what you are doing wrong. How about posting some code?

Remove an End Node(leaf) in an XML Document

I have an object type node, where each one was one object
type node, which can contain one object type node etc. I need to
remove the last item, and return the new xml document see the
example, any ideas?
<menuItem id="itemID" graphic="" name="test01"
text="test01">
<menuItem id="itemID" graphic="" name="test01"
text="test01">
<menuItem id="itemID" graphic="" name="test01"
text="test01" >
<menuItem id="itemID" graphic="" name="test01"
text="test01" >
</menuItem>
</menuItem>
</menuItem>
</menuItem>
Thanks,
Chester

public function removeEndNode(value:XML):XML {
if(value.descendants("*").length() == 0){
return XML(value);
} else {
value.descendants("*")[value.descendants("*").length()-2] =
return XML(value);
}

Get Node value inside Transform activity using any function

<xsl:when test="\ns0:data = *+Value of Xml node(NODE)+*">
</xsl:when>
At value of XML node i want to put the value of one xml node. is there any function in transform to get the content of node.
Thanks
vivek
Edited by: 809104 on Nov 14, 2010 9:29 PM

I got the solution
we can use variable inside transform and assign xpath value to that variable then we can use that variable inside test condtition
<xsl:variable name="name" select="xpath"/>
<xsl:when test="\ns0:data = $name">
</xsl:when>

BPEL get node value

Hi All,
I am new to BPEL and had been struggling to get the value of a particular node from a list of nodes.
My XML looks like:
<ns2:attributes>
<ns2:Name>Known AS</ns2:Name>
<ns2:Value>Known as</ns2:Value>
</ns2:attributes>
<ns2:attributes>
<ns2:Name>Junk1</ns2:Name>
<ns2:Value>junlk1</ns2:Value>
</ns2:attributes>
<ns2:attributes>
<ns2:Name>Business Unit</ns2:Name>
<ns2:Value>BUUnit</ns2:Value>
</ns2:attributes>
<ns2:attributes>
<ns2:Name>Cost Center</ns2:Name>
<ns2:Value>100000</ns2:Value>
</ns2:attributes>Now my requirement is that I want to get the value of the node named 'Cost Center' only. One way which I have it working as of now is to get a count of the total number of nodes and then in a while loop iterate over all the nodes and use a switch condition to check for the node name = 'Cost Center' and then get the value.
I was wondering if I can do something like below or any other way by which I can get the position based on node name (something like search functionality)
bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/ns3:process/ns4:BeneficiaryDetails/ns4:attributes[@name='Cost Center']/ns4:Value') Thanks,
Bikash

Hi Bikash,
This should do...
bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/ns3:process/ns4:BeneficiaryDetails/ns4:attributes[ns4:Name = "Cost Center"]/ns4:Value')The quotes around "Cost Center" may need to be escaped...
Cheers,
Vlad
