hi shanu,
the pbm is solved, now i m able to access XXX no. in action class & i m able to validate it. The only thing which i want to know is it ok to declare static ArrayList as i have done in this code. i mean will it affect the performance or functionality of the system.
pls have a look at the following code snippet.
public class XMLValidator {
static ArrayList strXXX = new ArrayList();
public void validate(){
factory.setValidating(true);
parser = factory.newSAXParser();
//all factory code is here only
parser.parse(xmlURI, new XMLErrorHandler());
public void setXXX(String pstrXXX){
strUpn.add(pstrXXX);
public ArrayList getXXX(){
return strXXX;
class XMLErrorHandler extends DefaultHandler {
String tagName = "";
String tagValue = "";
String applicationRefNo = "";
String XXXValue ="";
String XXXNo = "";
XMLValidator objXmlValidator = new XMLValidator();
public void startElement(String uri, String name, String qName, Attributes atts) {
tagName = qName;
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) {
if ("Reference".equals(tagName)) {
tagValue = new String(ch, start, length).trim();
if (tagValue.length() > 0) {
RefNo = new String(ch, start, length);
if ("XXX".equals(tagName)) {
XXXValue = new String(ch, start, length).trim();
if (XXXValue.length() > 0) {
XXXNo = new String(ch, start, length);
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("XXX")) {
objXmlValidator.setXXX(XXXNo);

How to remove Unicode from XML file

I get following error when unmarshal xml:
[java] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x15) was found in the element content of the document.
Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
Thanks

These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

How can (parse) i use XML file with missing EndTag

hi,
i have an application which writes an "XML file".
another application should read that XML file, build an DOM and
access the nodes with xpath.
my problem. if the first application is not finished there are tags
missing. e.g. </xml>. but the seconds application cannot wait until the first application finishes it task.
if i now read the XML file the parser cannot load it because the end tags are missing.
my question:
how can i deactivate the check or how can i read the XML file and access it via XPath (my application is using at the moment XPath to access the nodes and i dont want to change that)
as parser i am using XERCES
alex

As far as I know, you can't do this - xml must be well formed (this is sort of a bedrock of xml). There may be some work around's, but I'm not aware of any - and they would most likely be hacks.

How to retrieve image from XML file

Hi All,
I am new to XML. So any best guidance is appreciated.
The application requirement is to display image retrived from uploaded xml file in file upload section of our application. And store that image in database.
In my XML file , images & strings & numbers & booleans are there . I am able to save everything in database except images .
I am using JSF, Seam & Hibernate combination. In my Hibernate entity class i took BLOB datatype for image.
I am using following tags in my Xhtml file to display image
<s:graphicImage value="#{hibernateentitybean.picBlobtype}" height="200" width="200">
<s:transformImageSize width="200" height="200" />
<s:transformImageType contentType="image/jpeg"/>
But image is not displayed in Xhtml file
I am using org.w3c.dom.Document for retrieving node name & corresponding value in that node in XML file.
I am getting code like below for Image when i am logging all values from XML files in my bean class .
x0lGQRQAAAABAAAAAAAAAFJHAQARAAAAVwBhAHQAZQByACAAbABpAGwAaQBlAHMALgBqAHAAZwAAAP/Y/+AAEEpGSUYAAQIBAGAAYAAA/+0YLl
I want to convert this value to image. So i can convert image to bytes and store in BLOB.
Can anyone guide me ? or any other approach .
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Regards,
Naresh

Thanks, but how can I "fetch" the url from the image element?You've got to first get to the image element. But based on what you've posted though, with a little more coding, you should be able to succeed. Just give it a try! :)

How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

Hi all,
I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

I will go for a table function:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.
Success
