How to convert clobDomain to org.w3c.dom.Document

Hi
We have store the xml data into oracle database as clobDomain.We are reading the same data from db and want to convert it into org.w3c.dom.Document type.We used the method getXMLContentNode() but its doesn't help us.See the below code.
ClobDomain pedigreeXML = (ClobDomain) pedigreeDocumentRow.getAttribute("PedigreeDocument");
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuildFactory= DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
Document containerDoc = docBuildFactory.newDocumentBuilder().newDocument();
System.out.println(containerDoc.toString()); // this sop statement printing the xml fine
Node node= pedigreeXML.getXMLContentNode(containerDoc);
System.out.println(node); // this sop statement is printing data as "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLCDATA@1de6ded"
Please let me know can we convert clobDomain to Document type.
Thanks
Baji

Baji,
it would help if you give the jdev version you are working on...
I don't see a problem with the output you get from System.out.println(node); // this sop statement is printing data as "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLCDATA@1de6ded"as it only prints you the address of the node, but not the content. Try
String str = node.getTextContent();and check if this get you the content.

How to put org.w3c.dom.Document into String

Hello!
I have some sample xml file with xml schema (xsd file). After parsing this sample file into org.w3c.dom.Document I would like to put it into the string and print out for test purpose only. But I don't know how to do it.
I would like to print something like
<somebody>
<first>First somenthing</first>
<second>Second something</second>
</somebody>
Thanks for your advices.

The function you have specified works fine and gives back the string from DOM object.But it ruins all the formatting associated with the XML (like new line character)
Is there any way to overcome it?
Currently if i have a xml as
<student>
<firstname>
</firstname>
</student>
The output of the code u have sent strips off the new line characters and returns everything in a single line as below:
<student> <firstname> </firstname> </student>
Thanks for any help associated with above problem.

How to Convert SOAPMessage to a org.w3c.dom.Document object?

See the subject.

Hi,
by reading the DOM4J documentation (www.dom4j.org), I have seen that a very useful org.dom4j.dom package exists.
You can then use the org.dom4j.io.DOMWriter class to convert the SOAP structure in a DOM tree by using the DOMWriter.write() method.
Because I wanted to convert only the body part of the SOAP message in a DOM tree, I am using the following code :
// Extract the SOAP body
SOAPBody body = ...
// Get the first element of the body by using the SOAP methods
SOAPElement eRoot = ...
// Creates a SAXSource from the DOM4J element
javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXSource saxSource = new org.dom4j.io.DocumentSource ((org.dom4j.Element)eRoot);
// You can then use directly use this javax.xml.transform.Source object
// or get only the InputSource needed to parse a DOM tree
org.xml.sax.InputSource source = saxSource.getInputSource();
// Use this source with a JAXP parser for example
// ...Regards,
Damien.

How to add node value using org.w3c.dom.Document?

Hi ,
I'm using org.w3c.dom.Document to deal with xml files. I could successfully add nodes , and their attributes. However I could not add a value of the node. (e.g. <myNode>I couldn't add this value</myNode>)
does anyone know how to deal with this?
I tried subNode.setNodeValue("the value i can't add"); whereas the subNode is an instance of org.w3c.dom.Node... i know this is interface i of course used the concrete class
org.apache.crimson.tree.ElementNode
but when I used the subNode.getNodeValue() i simply got null?
can u plz help me?
thanks in advance

Reading the API documentation for the Node interface might help. At least you wouldn't be surprised when the results are exactly what the documentation says they will be.
What would really help would be forgetting the idea that an Element can have a value. Text nodes have values, though, so create a Text node and make it the child of the Element node.

How to parse & update org.w3c.dom.Document

Hi,
I have a org.w3c.dom.Document "w3Doc" object which is converted to org.jdom.Document object using DOMBuilder().build(w3Doc) method.
Now the problem which I'm facing is that this org.w3c.dom.Document object contains an illegal xml character & when DOMBuilder().build() method tries to create JDOM doc/tree from org.w3c.dom.Document it raises IllegalDataException & the application errors up.
Now, I want to parse org.w3c.dom.Document "w3Doc" object & check for illegal xml character in the w3Doc & remove this character.
Can anyone help me out in finding which parser should I use to read w3Doc & update the doc(by removing the illegal data).
Thanks in advance,

Normally a Document is the output of a parser, not the input to one. And all the parsers I know of will not allow invalid XML characters to pass. So it must be that you're creating Text nodes in your program that include invalid XML characters and adding them to a Document. (I'm surprised that the DOM implementation allows you to do that.)
So you should just stop doing that, instead of trying to find something to clean up the mess after the fact. The XML Recommendation, in section 2.2, tells you what characters are valid in XML. You can find it here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/

How to create org.w3c.dom.Document.

Hi,
I have my complete xml file in a String variable like
String strXml = " <?xml version="1.0"?>
<report>
<name>testReport & report

</report> "
I need to create a "org.w3c.dom.Document" object from the above "strXml" variable.
Thanks in advance for your answers,

this is the code snippet that would answer u r question

Org.w3c.dom.Document to/from String ?

I need to be able to parse (once) an XML string, and then pass the parsed object around to/from different objects.
I tried to use org.w3c.dom.Document,
generated by javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder .
HOWEVER - I don't see any way to parse an xml String!
The doc-builder parse() method accepts either a file/url, or an InputStream.
When I tried to use the StringBufferInputStream I found-out it is deprecated, and that I should use StringReader.
BUT I cannot parse using StringReader ! (the method parse() doesn't work with it)
Is there anyway to parse a String to create a Document ?
========================================================
And that's only HALF my problem:
I did parse an input file into a Document, to experiment a little.
I then wanted to convert it to an XML String - but couldn't.
How do I get the xml String from a Document ?
I cannot: How do I save it to a file ?
I must say that under .NET both tasks are TRIVIAL:
XmlDocument.LoadXML()
XmlDocument.OuterXml
Thanks
Meir

The doc-builder parse() method accepts either a file/url, or an InputStream.This isn't true. Look it up again. There are overridden versions of parse() that use File, InputSource, InputStream, or String. The String one isn't what you want, because the String it takes is a URL pointing to the XML and not the XML itself. The File one doesn't work for you because you don't have a file, and you've already said why the InputStream one doesn't work for you.
So that leaves the version that takes an InputSource. So, what is an InputSource anyway? You could look it up just by clicking on the link in the API docs...

Problem casting org.w3c.dom.Document to oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument

I have the following problem:
I get my xml-documents as an XMLType from the database and want to compare these using the supplied Oracle class oracle.xml.differ.XMLDiff (i use the java version supplied with Oracle 9i r2).
XMLType.getDOM() returns the xml-document as a org.w3c.dom.Document,
what i need for oracle.xml.differ.XMLDiff is a oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument.
How can i cast/convert between these two formats?
thanks!
p.s. cross-posting with Re: Casting/Converting XMLType to XMLDocument? (but i think this forum is more relevant).

Hi,
thanks for the suggestion: i have written the code shown below. It results in a casting error.
As far as i know, i don't use a oracle.xdb.dom.XDBDocument, i only use a oracle.xdb.XMLType as the input parameter for my conversion-method:
any new suggestions ???
p.s. the second method which is commented does work, but is a bit verbose.
   private static oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument convert2XMLDocument(XMLType xml) {
     // simple version (should work according to tech. doc. 9i r2/ 10g r1 database)
     oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument doc = null;
     try {
        // n.b. probleem is dat XMLType.getDOM() een w3c.Document object teruggeeft ipv een oracle.XMLDocument.
        System.out.println("convert2XMLDocument(): casting w3c.Document naar oracle.XMLDocument.");
        doc = (oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument) xml.getDOM(); // public org.w3c.dom.Document getDOM()
        System.out.println("convert2XMLDocument(): done casting w3c.Document naar oracle.XMLDocument.");
     catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace(System.out);
    return doc;
   private static XMLDocument convert2XMLDocument(XMLType xml) {
     // complex version: works ok !!!
     XMLDocument doc = null;
     try{
        DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
        parser.setValidationMode(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParser.NONVALIDATING);
        parser.setPreserveWhitespace (true);
        parser.parse(new StringReader(xml.getStringVal()));
        doc = parser.getDocument();
    catch ( XMLParseException e ) {
      e.printStackTrace(System.out);
    catch ( SQLException e ) {
      e.printStackTrace(System.out);
    catch ( Exception e ) {
      e.printStackTrace(System.out);

XDK 10.1.0.2.0 NT XMLType and org.w3c.dom.Document problem/bug?

Hi Chaps,
I have Oracle 11g1 server side and am using the Oracle XDK 10.1.0.2.0 for Windows client side with Sun Java JDK 6 (1.6.0_06-b02).
(I couldnt find an XDK for 11g1???)
I have a table in my database that has an XMLType, its a very simple table -
CREATE TABLE hcr_xml_test
RRN VARCHAR(24) PRIMARY KEY,
ClipID VARCHAR2(27),
Lodgement XMLType
XMLTYPE COLUMN Lodgement
STORE AS OBJECT RELATIONAL
ELEMENT "/www.hcrregister.com/RequestServices/Messages/ConditionReportCreateRequest_1.xsd#ConditionReportCreateRequest_1"
Thats all fine, however with the XDK I am trying to construct an XMLType for use with JDBC from a valid org.w3c.dom.Document so that I can insert a row into my table. My code looks like this -
XMLType xml = new XMLType(realCon, doc);
stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement) realCon.prepareStatement(sql);
stmt.setString(1, id.getRRN());
stmt.setString(2, id.getCenteraClipID());
stmt.setObject(3, xml);
stmt.execute();
doc is a org.w3c.dom.Document
realCon is a java.sql.Connection
That code throws a SQLException at the line "stmt.setObject(3, xml);" -
java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert to internal representation
at oracle.jdbc.driver.SQLStateMapping.newSQLException(SQLStateMapping.java:70)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.newSQLException(DatabaseError.java:112)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:173)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:229)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:403)
at oracle.sql.OPAQUE.<init>(OPAQUE.java:85)
at oracle.xdb.XMLType.toDatum(XMLType.java:480)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatement.setORADataInternal(OraclePreparedStatement.java:7437)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatement.setObjectInternal(OraclePreparedStatement.java:8158)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatement.setObject(OraclePreparedStatement.java:8149)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatementWrapper.setObject(OraclePreparedStatementWrapper.java:229)
at uk.co.landmarkinfo.registers.datawarehouse.tools.oracle.lodgementloader.DocumentProcessor.run(DocumentProcessor.java:232)
Inspecting the exception I can see that the vendorCode is 17059.
If I use "XMLType xml = XMLType.createXML(realCon, doc);" then xml is null instead of throwing a SQLException, so something isnt working here...
However, if I serialize my Document to a String first and give that String to either the XMLType Constructor or XMLType.createXML() then it all works fine -
/////TEMP
Transformer transformer = saxTransformerFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty("omit-xml-declaration", "no");
transformer.setOutputProperty("indent", "yes");
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(baos));
XMLType stringXML = new XMLType(realCon, new String(baos.toByteArray()));
////END TEMP
stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement) realCon.prepareStatement(sql);
stmt.setString(1, id.getRRN());
stmt.setString(2, id.getCenteraClipID());
stmt.setObject(3, stringXML);
stmt.execute();
But why do I need to serialize to a String first??? Looking at the javadoc I dont think I should have to do this. So is there a problem in Oracles XDB handling of Document or have I missed something?

Anyone has any idea? Please help!!!

Slow to convert Oracle 11g XMLType into Java String or Document

After retrieving a result set from an Oracle 11g database, it takes roughly 75 seconds to convert the XMLType (this is a structured XML Storage, registered with an xsd) into either a java String or Document. I'm using Java 1.6, have the xdb.jar and xmlparserv2.jar
This xsd is <100 lines and the xml document is also <100 lines.
Sample code:
oracle.xdb.XMLType xml = oracle.xdb.XMLType.createXML((oracle.sql.OPAQUE)rset.getObject("XMLDATA"));
the other way, but still took just as long:
XMLType xml = (XMLType)rset.getObject("XMLDATA");
xml.getStringVal();
or
org.w3c.dom.Document doc = xml.getDocument();
either way of the above ways takes just as long.

If I put this value into the database table, I can
see only the date. Time part is missing. Is this the
problem with java.sql.Date or Oracle datatype Date?This is not a problem, this is the defined behaviour of the Date type. RTFAPI and have a look at Timestamp, while you're at it.

Covert org.jdom.Document to org.w3c.dom.Document

Hello,
How would I convert org.jdom.Document to org.w3c.dom.Document??
I'm creating org.jdom.Document from the servlet that reads from the database, which gets output like following.
// doc is org.jdom.Document
Document doc = new Document( root );
reportName = new Element( "REPORT_NAME" );
root.addContent( reportName );
reportName.setText( "Current Account Balance" );
// skip...
XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter(" ", true, "UTF-8");
outputter.output(doc, out);
And in my caller servlet, I read from the previous servlet using URL and parse it, trying to get Document, but it
InputSource xmlSource = new InputSource( url.openStream());
//Use a DOM Parser (org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser)
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse( xmlSource );
Document doc = parser.getDocument();
// and I do transformation.
DOMSource inXML = new DOMSource( doc );
StreamResult outXML = new StreamResult( out );
transformer.transform( inXML, outXML )
I'd like to skip passing around XML and share the same Document object so that I don't have parse it again...

Org.w3c.dom.Document toString() ?

hi i have a constructed org.w3c.dom.Document var newDoc...
in ibm developerworks tutorial there is a line newDoc.toString() but that gives "[#document null]"
newDoc.getDocumentElement().getNodeValue() gives the xml string in jdk 1.4 but not in jdk 1.3 wih apache xerces 2.6.2
how to i get the xml in string output? (i do not wish to use sun java web service development platform)
please email responses to vishalrao at gmail dot com , thanks!

From what I saw there was no change and the document getNodeValue always returns null in jdk1.4 as well.
you can use the transform api to serialize xml into any serialized output form, including strings.
look into http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/Transformer.html

How to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file?

Hi,
I tried to convert a pdf file into word but it is not fully editable. I can edit the title from the main page and that's it. The rest of the word document is saved as image. I tried editing teh pdf file but that one is not working either.
Please help on how to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file.
Thank you

Not all PDF files are created equal. When a PDF file is created with Adobe Tools it is usually "tagged" with information about the fonts the images, the layout etc... This way when the PDF is saved to a new format like PPT or DOC then the results are usually usable. However, if you have a PDF file that was not tagged for some reason then run the Accessibility tools on the PDF to acquire some basic tagging. This may get you a better result. Also if you have a PDF that is an image, then you may want to run OCR on it.
