How to ignore DOCTYPE when parsing xml java?

Hello
i am trying to parse some sml files that have:
<!DOCTYPE ModuleRoot SYSTEM "C:\xxx\xmlapp.dtd">
i don;t have the dtd file
how can i ignore it by changing my code and not changing the xml file.
DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
this.doc = documentBuilder.parse(xmlFileName);
i got exception in this.doc = documentBuilder.parse(xmlFileName);
(The system cannot find the path specified)
Thanks in advance.

You need to create an EntityResolver that returns a dummy DTD. Since you aren't actually validating, this can be as simple as:
        db.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver()
            public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
                throws SAXException, IOException
                return new InputSource(new StringReader(""));
        });For more information, here's an article that I wrote on [XML parsing and validation|http://www.kdgregory.com/index.php?page=xml.parsing].

     Take CREATEDBYUSERLOGINID from XML value 'userLoginId'
where 'requestedByUser' is the input parameter to the stored procedure and 'createdByUserType' is the value from XML.
'userTypeId' is not required to be set in collection.
Now my question is how to put that condition when doing the XML parsing.

Add a projection for "userTypeId" in T4, then use a CASE statement in the SELECT clause :
SELECT DOC_ROWTYPE (
        t1.referenceNumber, t1.reqId, t2.accountId, t2.accountNumber, t3.accountId, t3.accountNumber,

        CASE WHEN requestedByUser = 'true' AND t4.userTypeId = 2

How to add doctype when generating XML from an arbitrary data structure

I was reading SUN's tutorial "Working with XML - PART IV: Using XSLT". Inside this tutorial, in 3, it talks about how to generate XML from an arbitrary data structure making use of a XMLReader and a Transformer. The example only shows adding elements. Is there a way to add DTD information in the XML generated, i.e. <!DOCTYPE ... >? What APIs can I use?
Thanks,
Alex

The simplest way seems to me is to use a XSL file for that. The <xsl:output> attributes doctype-system and doctype-public generate the DTD declaration <!DOCTYPE YOUR_ROOT SYSTEM "yourDTDfile.dtd"> and <!DOCTYPE YOUR_ROOT PUBLIC "yourDTDfile.dtd">, respectively.
When calling transformerInstance.transform() the XSLT processor performs the identity transformation - it just copies elements, attributes, content, processing instructions and comments to the result stream.
If you're using an xsl file for your transformation already, simply add <xsl:output doctype-system="yourDTDfile.dtd"/> to your existing XSL file.
If you're only using the identity transformation you'd need to change the line of code where you obtain the transformer instance from the TransformerFactory to:
t_factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource("test.xsl"));
and use this as test.xsl:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
   <xsl:output doctype-system="yourDTDfile.dtd"/>
   
   <xsl:template match="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()">
      <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/>
      </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>Good luck.

How get DOCTYPE name when parsing XML Doc?

My XML document has this:
<!DOCTYPE Users SYSTEM "Users.dtd" []>
So the name of this document's type is "Users", i.e. it is a Users document. However, I cannot figure out how to get that during parsing! I have set the following (and implemented all the correct interfaces):
     pa.setContentHandler( userHandler );
     pa.setDTDHandler( userHandler );
     pa.setEntityResolver( userHandler );
     pa.setErrorHandler( userHandler );My userHandler object is of class: XMLUserHandler (I made it up) that extends DefaultHandler and implements:
DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler, ContentHandler
and overrides all the nec. methods.
What am I missing? how do I get it to return "Users" from:
<!DOCTYPE Users SYSTEM "Users.dtd" []>
or if it was:
<!DOCTYPE MyDumbName SYSTEM "Users.dtd" []>
how can I get it to return "MyDumbName"?
Thank you all for your help in advance!

For anyone wondering, the answer is to use LexicalHandler. However, they made it "hidden" in the sense that setting this property is not as easy as setting the ContentHandler, for example. Also, not every implementation has to recognize the LexicalHandler. You do it this way:
//MY CLASS THAT IMPLEMENTS LexicalHandler INTERFACE
MyLexicalHandler myHandler = new MyLexicalHandler();
myXMLReader.setProperty( "http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler", myHandler );then just call "parse()" and it will automatically call your lexical handler, assuming it implements that.
The main method in LexicalHandler here (i.e. the one that handles what I was looking for) is:
public void startDTD(String name, String publicId, String systemId) throws SAXException

Persisting unexplained errors when parsing XML with schema validation

Hi,
I am trying to parse an XML file including XML schema validation. When I validate my .xml and .xsd in NetBeans 5.5 beta, I get not error. When I parse my XML in Java, I systematically get the following errors no matter what I try:
i) Document root element "SQL_STATEMENT_LIST", must match DOCTYPE root "null".
ii) Document is invalid: no grammar found.
The code I use is the following:

factory.setNamespaceAware(true);

Hi,
I found the solution in the following post:
Validate xml with DOM - no grammar found
Sep 17, 2003 10:58 AM
The solution is to add a line of code when parsing:
try {
Document document;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
factory.setAttribute("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
document = builder.parse( new File(PathToXml) );
The errors are gone !!!

Flash Player 10 removes HTML encoding in CDATA when parsing XML

I have an application that was written with Flash Professional 8/AS2 and it parses XML for rendering dynamic media content. The XML pulls text with HTML markup out of CDATA sections and places them into an html enabled text field. Everything has worked wonderfully until Flash Player 10.
Now, if we use html escape characters for greater than or less than symbols, they are being decoded by the xml parser.
Here's my example CDATA section:
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
when I grab its value using nodeValue or toString, the results are different from Flash Player 9 to 10. Here's what I'm getting:
node.nodeValue (Flash Player 9):
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
node.nodeValue (Flash Player 10):
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
node.toString (Flash Player 9):
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
node.toString (Flash Player 10):
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
In Flash 10, if I escape the ampersand, it will work, but this doesn't work in 9. for example, the following works in 10:
<![CDATA[Here <u>we</u> go: This &#60;node&#62; &lt;works&gt;]]>
This all happens before I assign it to a text field. How do I keep the parser from destroying my escaped characters in Flash 10? Do I just need to drop support for Flash Player 9 and go for what works in 10, or is there a solution for both?

I'm not an action script programmer. I'm just trying to fix some code written like 3 years ago. So I think I am wrong about where this problem is coming from.
The original developer actually set up a class to load a remote xml file via sendAndLoad on a LoadVars object. It passes an object with an onData delegate set that passes the event object to an xml parsing method.
the parsing method looks like this:
     private function parseXml(eventObj:Object){
          if(eventObj != undefined)
               try
                    //ExternalInterface.call("logMessage", eventObj.toString());
                    _xmlDoc.parseXML(eventObj.toString());
                    _xmlDoc.loaded = true;
                    _xmlDoc.onLoad(true);
               catch(ex)
                    _xmlDoc.onLoad(false);
          else
               _xmlDoc.onLoad(false);
I added the ExternalInterface call so that I could log the stuff out in javascript (since I'm not sure how to debug this app).
_xmlDoc is defined as: private var _xmlDoc:XML;
The eventObj receives the xml string and then passes it to the parseXML thing. Here's the odd part. In Flash Player 10, if I comment out my ExternalInterface call, the xml string has the escaped character decoded before it gets to the parser.
However, if I uncomment my ExternalInterface call, it logs the escaped strings as i would expect, but the parser gets the correct formatting this time! Suddenly it all works.
I really wish I had an AS2 programmer on campus still....

Slow processing when Parsing XML files

Hi
I have written a utility in Java (using JAXP) which parses an .xml file. This xml file
contains references to n number of other xml files. From here I direct the parser to each of these individual xml files where it searches for elements with a particular tag name, lets say 'node'. As in,
<node name= "Parent A">
<entry key="type" value="car"/>....
</node>
<node name= "Parent B">
<entry key="type" value="Truck"/>
</node>
I am collecting all the 'nodes' from these n xml files and then finally building a single xml file which will contain only the 'node' and its attribute 'name' value. As in,
<node name="Parent A"/>
<node name="Parent B"/>
In most cases n is a number greater than 100. Each of these n xml file have LOC exceeding 2 to 3000.
NOW the issue is, the xml parser takes more than an hr to go through just 10 - 15 xml files , collects the 'node', and building a new DOM object which I finally get published using Xml Transformer.
In effect , it beats the whole purpose of writing this utility as no programmer will stick around for an hr to to watch it happen/finish.
Apart from maybe further fine tuning my logic, which I've almost exhusted, is there any 'faster' way of doing the whole thing.
Please reply. Any comment would be greatly appreciated.
I am using JAXP 1.3 specs to parse and build the DOM.

DOM is slow.
Do it yourself using a simple SAX-parser. For all startElement - check if it is a "node", and then write your output!
Xerces is faster than the built in Crimoson SAX-parser in Java.
Parsing with Xerces a 2GHz machine takes manages about 5-6 MB/s of XML files.
Or use STX with Joost - although it's not THAT much faster

Ignore DOCTYPE tag in xml

Hi!,
I need to remove DOCTYPE tag from the xml file. The parser is trying to validate the DTD. I do not want to validate, I just want to parse. I could not find any documentation on how this can be done. if any one of you have done this please let me know how you have managed to ignore the DOCTYPE tag.
Regards

Here is one way to do it:
Example taglib DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE taglib
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd">
Example Code:
// Get your parser, then set its EntityResolver to your own custom er.
parser.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver()
public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
if ("-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN".equals(publicId))
return new InputSource(
new ByteArrayInputStream("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>".getBytes()));
else
return null;
});

SAXNotRecognisedException when parsing XML

Hi
I have written the following code to verify my XML ( in String form) against xsd schema
When i do setProperty for schemaLanguage or schemaLocation I get an SAXNotRecognisedException.
Could someone please help me out with this !
String schemaString = XMLSchemaGen.getInstance().generateSchema();
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
spf.setValidating(true);
DefaultHandler dh = new DefaultHandler();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
sp.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage",
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
sp.setProperty("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLocation",
schemaString) ;
Reader inputstream= new StringReader(XMLDocument);
InputSource ips = new InputSource(inputstream);
sp.parse(ips,dh);
System.out.println("Successfully Parsed and Validated");
Thanks

I understand that, I can't figure out how it's poorly formed... I'm inexperienced with DTDs, tell me if you see a problem with this. It's to store accounts for a program:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!ELEMENT Accounts (Level, Level, Level)>
<!ELEMENT Level (Account*)>
<!ATTLIST Level type (admins | gmods | players) #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT Account (String, int, int, EmailAddress, InetAddress?)>
<!ATTLIST Account username ID #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT String (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTRIBUTE String name CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT int (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST int name CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT EmailAddress (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT InetAddress (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST InetAddress name CDATA #REQUIRED>

Ignore DOCTYPE tag in XML Validation

All,
I am trying to read an XML file using a file adapter with passing using the XSD created out of that XML. In normal scenario it works fines. Problems comes when I cam trying to read the XML file which had the Tag <!DOCTYPE> as shown below on top of the root node.
In this case XML parsing is failing and file adapter is throwing the error.
Any pointers on this.
Many Thanks.
Regards,
Ramana.
Sample XML (For Example):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE CFXML [
<!ELEMENT CFXML (thisDocumentGenerationDateTime,thisDocumentIdentifier,CFData)>
<!ELEMENT thisDocumentGenerationDateTime (DateTimeStamp)>
<!ELEMENT thisDocumentIdentifier (ProprietaryDocumentIdentifier)>
<!ELEMENT CFData (ProprietaryInformation*,ProductLineItem+,CFReportBLOB?)>
<!ELEMENT DateTimeStamp (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT ProprietaryDocumentIdentifier (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT ProprietaryInformation (Name,Value)>
<!ELEMENT ProductLineItem ( ProductLineNumber , TransactionType , CPUSIUvalue , ConfigurationControlNumber?, ProprietaryGroupIdentifier , ServicePacLineNumberReference? , Quantity , ProductIdentification , UnitListPrice? , MaintenanceUnitListPrice? , ProductSubLineItem* ) >
<!ELEMENT CFReportBLOB (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT Name (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT Value (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT CPUSIUvalue (#PCDATA)>

<thisDocumentGenerationDateTime>
<DateTimeStamp>2008-05-23T14:02:49.465-05.00</DateTimeStamp>
</thisDocumentGenerationDateTime>
</CFXML>

Guys,
There is a small tricky point here. The above operation works in the simple file adapter but dosn't work for Chunk read file adapter.
The InteractionSpec (oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.ChunkedInteractionSpec) of the Chunk read file adapter dosn't support this functionality. I guess we have raise an SR, if I am correct.

How to use responseXML to parse xml

Hi,
I am sending this xml from server
<assignmentList>
<assignment>
<id>333</id><name>1170235257994</name><fileClass>4</fileClass><checked_out_by> </checked_out_by><status>s1</status><publication>p1</publication><section>s1</section><change_type>1</change_type><listenerClass>0</listenerClass>
</assignment>
<assignment>
<id>333</id><name>1170235257994</name><fileClass>4</fileClass><checked_out_by> </checked_out_by><status>s1</status><publication>p1</publication><section>s1</section><change_type>1</change_type><listenerClass>1</listenerClass>
</assignment>
</assignmentList>
I need to parse above xml to get id , name,fileclass etc
but in my js
var root = o.responseXML.documentElement;
var length=root.getElementsByTagName('assignment").length;
alert(length); // displays 0.
I need to get the length and iterate to get values from above two tags.
But could not achieve it.
but when I send
<assignmentList>
<assignment>
<id>333</id><name>1170235257994</name><fileClass>4</fileClass><checked_out_by> </checked_out_by><status>s1</status><publication>p1</publication><section>s1</section><change_type>1</change_type><listenerClass>0</listenerClass>
</assignment>
</assignmentList>
alert(length); // displays 1. correct
Can you please show me how I can get correct length and then get values from it
by getting values I mean
var assetId = root.getElementsByTagName('id').firstChild.nodeValue;
currently not working.
waiting for response
thanks

I have similar error
my servlet writer.
response.getWriter().write("<valid>pass</valid>");
        response.getWriter().write("<valid>fail</valid>");
        response.getWriter().write("<good>yes</good>");
        response.getWriter().write("<good>now</good>");
javascript
var msg = responseXML.getElementsByTagName("valid");
     document.getElementById('log').innerHTML += "<br> " + msg + "....length=" + msg.length;
     for(i=0; i<msg.length; i++){
          document.getElementById('log').innerHTML += "<br> " + msg.firstChild.nodeValue;
          var newOption = new Option(msg[i], "VALUE");
          document.inputForm.pendingMCObox.options[1] = newOption;
     msg = responseXML.getElementsByTagName("good");
     document.getElementById('log').innerHTML += "<br> " + msg + "....length=" + msg.length;
     for(i=0; i<msg.length; i++){
          document.getElementById('log').innerHTML += "<br> " + msg[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
          var newOption = new Option(msg[i], "VALUE");
          document.inputForm.pendingMCObox.options[1] = newOption;
for some reasons, the length is 0. What am i doing wrong here?

How to specify delimiter when parsing the parameter list in URL

Here is a sample URL used to call the servlet:
http://myhost.com/servlet?param1=test1&param2=test2&param3=test3In the doGet method of my servlet, I understand I can use the getParameter method to retrieve the various parameter values:
String p_param1 = request.getParameter("param1");
String p_param2 = request.getParameter("param2");
String p_param3 = request.getParameter("param3");However, what if the URL was of the form:
http://myhost.com/servlet?param1=test1+param2=test2+param3=test3where the URL parameter delimiter was a plus sign rather than an ampersand (&).
By default, the servlet is only recognizing the ampersand (&) as a parameter delimiter.
When I use a plus sign as the delimiter, getParameter retrieves everything after the question mark (?) as the first parameter
i.e. param1 = test1 param2=test2 param3=test3
param2 = null
param3 = null
How can I get getParameter to recognize a plus sign (+) as a valid delimiter?

Servlets follow the HTTP specification. So, there is not much you can do on that level. What you could do (though I do not recommend it) is to set-up a filter that will automatically swap the plus with an ampersand before the actual servlet processes it. My strong advice, however, is to give up on using a nonstandard delimiter.

Xmlparser.parse fails when parsing xml with dtd

Has anybody used successfully called xmlparser.parse in PL/SQL
to parse an xml file with a dtd? When I try I get the following
error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: Invalid argument
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSER", line 22
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSER", line 69
ORA-06512: at line 6
When I remove the dtd reference from the xml file it works.
(I posted this question yesterday but no responses, so I'm
trying again...)
Thanks - Dana

Please see:

How do switches work when launching a java app

Hi,
How do I use a "switch" in the launch command for an app. ie
java -cp myclassPath -mySwitch hello MyClass arg1 arg2
I want the app to do something depending on the presence of and the value of the switch "mySwitch". I know I can pass in args and work with these but I want to have control via the use of this optional switch.
PS when I google for "java switch" or search this forum for it I only get stuff on the switch statement so I don't know if what I'm trying to do is even possible.

Read the documentation for java command. Especially, look at the -D option.
