I am using DOM Parser.Using that parser how can i wil get the <Authorization> node value as
<Authorization>
     <ID>21<ID>
     <Role>Normal</Role>
</Authorization>
thanks in advance

Since you seem new to using DOM, I'll first give a word of advice.
Get very familiar with the JavaDocs for things like Document, Element, Node and Attribute. There is much wisdom in those files, especially in the table near the top of the Node interface. Pay particular attention to the meaning of nodeValue for various types on content.
Using DOM, you get a Document.
From a Document, you can use the getDocumentElement to get the root element (in your case, the one with a name of "employee").
From an Element, to get to a child Element with a specific name, use getElementsByTagName or getElementsByTagNameNS (if your elements are coded with NameSpaces).
Then get the first entry in the resulting list and process it however you like.

  • How to ignore empty text element while using DOM to parse xml??

    hi everyone,
    i am using DOM to parse an xml file. But i dont know how to cinfig the DocumentBuilderFactory to ignore empty text elements.
    For example, i have an xml file like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <root>
        <child>Tom</child>
        <child>Jerry</child>
    </root>I used the following codes to parse:
    String fname = "Tom-and-Jerry.xml";
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
    factory.setIgnoringComments(true);
    DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    // Generate a DOM tree from the DOM builder.
    org.w3c.dom.Document dom = builder.parse(new File(fname));
    org.w3c.dom.NodeList list = dom.getChildNodes();
    for (int i=0; i<list.getLength(); i++) {
        System.out.println("Child No."+i);
        System.out.println("NodeName="+list.item(i).getNodeName());
        System.out.println("NodeType="+getType(list.item(i).getNodeType()));
        System.out.println("NodeValue="+list.item(i).getNodeValue());
        System.out.println();
    }The result is not exactly what i want ---- there are 5 children in list!! The 1st, 3rd and 5th are #text and their values are all empty. Only the 2nd and the 4th are the child that i expect.
    It is really troublesome to get all these silly empty texts as sub elements. I tried to get rid of them, but i failed. I just dont understand why factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true) did not work.
    Anyone can help me? thanks.
    Heavy ZHENG

    I just dont understand why factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true) did not work.That only does something if the XML has a DTD that enables it to know what whitespace can be ignored and what is significant. The API documentation for the method refers you to this document:
    http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-white-space

  • How to manipulate object mapping runtime using DOM parser in java?

    Scenario: We will be getting logical name of the table from which we have to fetch the details. We have few tables which have more or less same columns, the only difference is the prefix. Say we have Tables: Temp1 and Temp2 contains column as Temp1Col1 and Temp2Col1. I dont want to go with creating as many POJO classes in java as that of tables. So i will create only one POJO class with common attributes and at runtime i want to change the object mapping file of Hibernate to hold table values. I have an idea that this can be done using DOM parser. But it would be great if somebody can share the java code for the same.
    Thanks in advance.

    SAX is a parser, not a generator.Well,
    you can use it to create an XML file too. And it will take care of proper encoding, thus being much superior to a normal textwriter:
    See the following code snippet (out is a OutputStream):
    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
          StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(pw);
          SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          //      SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
          TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
          Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
          serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");//
          serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"pdfBookmarks.xsd");
          serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"http://schema.inplus.de/pdf/1.0");
          serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
          serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
          hd.setResult(streamResult);
          hd.startDocument();
          //Get a processing instruction
          hd.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet","type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mystyle.xsl\"");
          AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
          atts.addAttribute("", "", "someattribute", "CDATA", "test");
          atts.addAttribute("", "", "moreattributes", "CDATA", "test2");
           hd.startElement("", "", "MyTag", atts);
    String curTitle = "Something inside a tag";
              hd.characters(curTitle.toCharArray(), 0, curTitle.length());
        hd.endElement("", "", "MyTag");
          hd.endDocument();
    You are responsible for proper nesting. SAX takes care of encoding.

  • How to parse nested xml file using dom

    i want to parse nested xml file
    please tell me how to parse nested xml
    for eg.
    <xml>
    <row>
    <name>Rahul<name>
    <row><newXml>
    <newXML>
    <Row>
    <code>12</code>

    <newXML>
    <XML>
    please tell how to parse this file

    Normally if you have no idea about X, the first thing you should do is google "X tutorial". You will find plenty of them out there. And the advantage is, they are better written than whatever we spend two minutes throwing together here. Not to mention that it saves us the two minutes.
    But if you have specific questions with your SAX parser when you get it going, then ask them here. Actually, ask them in the XML forum here, not this one.

  • How can I use a 3rd party XML parser such as xerces with OC4J ?

    Hi all tech experts,
    I am using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) and i have
    installed Portal and Wireless and OracleAS Infrastructure on the same
    computer.
    i tried all the solutions on this thread
    Use of Xerces Parser in out application with Oracle App Server 9.0.4
    but still fighting.
    I have also posted this query on OTN on following thread
    How can I use a 3rd party XML parser such as xerces with OC4J?
    but no reply....
    Please help me on this issue.
    Since OC4J is preconfigured to use the Oracle XML parser which is xmlparserv2.jar.
    i have read the following article which states that
    OC4J is preconfigured to use the Oracle XML parser. The Oracle XML parser is fully JAXP 1.1 compatible and will serve the needs of applications which require JAXP functionality. This approach does not require the download, installation, and configuration of additional XML parsers.
    The Oracle XML parser (xmlparserv2.jar) is configured to load as a system level library of OC4J through it's inclusion as an entry in the Class-Path entry of the oc4j.jar Manifest.mf file. This results in the Oracle XML parser being used for all common deployment and packaging situations. You are not permitted to modify the Manifest.mf file of oc4j.jar.
    It must be noted that configuring OC4J to run with any additional XML parser or JDBC library is not a supported configuration. We do know customers who have managed to successfully replace the system level XML parser and the Oracle JDBC drivers that ship with the product, but we do not support this type of configuration due to the possibility of unexpected system behavior and system errors that might occur from replacing the tested and certified libraries.
    If you absolutely must use an additional XML parser such as xerces, then you have to start OC4J such that the xerces.jar file is loaded at a level above the OC4J system classpath. This can be accomplished using the -Xbootclasspath flag of the JRE.
    i have also run the following command
    java -Xbootclasspath/a:d:\xerces\xerces.jar -jar oc4j.jar
    but no success.
    How could i utilize my jar's like xerces.jar and xalan.jar for parsing instead of OC4J in-built parser ?
    All reply will be highly appreciated.
    Thnx in advance to all.

  • Parsing an XML using DOM parser in Java in Recursive fashion

    I need to parse an XML using DOM parser in Java. New tags can be added to the XML in future. Code should be written in such a way that even with new tags added there should not be any code change. I felt that parsing the XML recursively can solve this problem. Can any one please share sample Java code that parses XML recursively. Thanks in Advance.

    Actually, if you are planning to use DOM then you will be doing that task after you parse the data. But anyway, have you read any tutorials or books about how to process XML in Java? If not, my suggestion would be to start by doing that. You cannot learn that by fishing on forums. Try this one for example:

  • Updating XML file using DOM parser

    Though, I have achieved this, but I am unable to update the value for 3rd record, & 5th record ie., id=3 & id=5. Since, these are blank.
    Thanks.

    Some <name> elements have a child node which is a text node. From what you say it appears you know how to change those text nodes.
    The other <name> elements don't have any child nodes. But you want one. This suggests to me that you need code that creates a text node and adds it to the <name> element as its child.

  • DOM problem: How to parse a string

    Hey i am developing a distributed application in which servers pass on a request in XML format.....However this request is passed in the form of a string....I am using DOM to parse the xml. It is a fairly small string with like 7-9 lines of code. However the problem with DOM is that it allows me to parse the files not the strings......anyidea how to do that.....i cannot create temp files.....because there will be a huge number of requests so ..............or should i use another parse........if yes then tell me which is the easiest approach......i just wanna add or remove some tags at each server and then pass the request to the next

    thanx but the problem is not solved.........i am importing java.xml.parsers.sax.InputSource..........
    Now when i use this thingy..........i get a SAX based exception saying that there is no root node..........however for the same file if i put the file name i get the code working

  • Problem in parsing XML using DOM Parser.

    Hi,
    I am parsing an XML using DOM Parser.
    When i try to get attributes of a node, i dont get in the order it is written. For Eg. This the node:
    <Level0 label="News" link="/website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All" level="202" uid="COGN-4MNMT3" parentid="aaaa">
    When i try to print the attribute values i should get in the order:
    News, /website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All, 202, COGN-4MNMT3, aaaa
    BUT I AM GETTING IN THE ORDER:
    News, 202, /website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All, aaaa, COGN-4MNMT3
    Is there any way to sort this problem out?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ashok

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks a lot for your replies.
    But i want to keep all the values as attributes only.
    the XML file is as shown below:
    <Menu>
    <Level0 label="News" link="/website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All" level="202" uid="COGN-4MNMT3" parentid="aaaa" children="3">
         <Level1 label="ING News" link="" level="1" uid="COGN-4MNN89" parentid="COGN-4MNMT3" children="3" >
              <Level2 label="All ING News" link="/website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All" level="2" uid="INGD-4MVTK2" parentid="COGN-4MNN89" children="0">
              </Level2>
    </Level1>
    </Level0>
    The code i was using to get attributes is:
    String strElementName = new String(node.getNodeName());
         // System.out.println("strElementName:"+node.getNodeName());
    NamedNodeMap attrs = node.getAttributes();
    if (attrs != null) {
    int iLength = attrs.getLength();
    for (int i = 0; i < iLength; i++) {
    String strAttributes = (String) attrs.item(i).getNodeName();
    String strValues = (String) attrs.item(i).getNodeValue();
    Also is it not possible to Enforce the order using some Schema/DTD in this case?
    TIA

  • How to use DOMParser from an Applet / Or, how to parse XML from an Applet?

    Hey,
    As stating in the subject line, I wonder how to do it without getting an �Access Denied� error.
    I would like to parse a XML file that has external DTD pointing to a SYSTEM location. Yes, I can change it to a public location. However, in either way, I have problems to use DOMBuilder to parse the xml file. The application always throws the security exception.
    I tried to use the DOMParser from org.apache.xerces.parsers to parse the xml file. I set the DOMParser to ignore parsing the external DTD, and use the DOMParser.parse(InputSource) to parse the xml file from a giving URL. However, I get null of the result document.
    Does anyone know how to parse the XML from an Applet? Or, does anyone know how to use the DOMParser from an Applet?
    Thank you very much,

    If the document resides on the local filesystem, you will need to sign a CAB or JAR for the applet to circumvent the sandbox's security restrictions. There are dozens of posts on how to do this. Basically, that will turn the applet into an application, from a Java security perspective.

    and I want to read title id = 1 then, how to parse it, I found tutorials regarding parsing simple xml document but how to parse attributes of a given XML

    But both of them either parse a file or data from an input source. I don't think they handle strings.An InputSource can be constructed with a Reader as input. One useful subclass of Reader is StringReader, so you'd use something likeDocument doc = documentBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(myXMLString)));

  • Parsing xml using DOM parser in java

    hi there!!!
    i don have much idea about parsing xml.. i have an xml file which consists of details regarding indentation and spacing standards of C lang.. i need to read the file using DOM parser in java n store each of the attributes n elements in some data structure in java..
    need help as soon as possible!!!

    DOM is the easiest way to parse XML document, google for JDOM example it is very easy to implement.
    you need to know what is attribute, what is text content and what is Value in XML then easily you can parse your document with dom (watch for space[text#] in your XML document when you parse it).
    you get root node then nodelist of childs for root then go further inside, it is easy believe me.
