How to read the content of HTML table

Hi All,
I would like to retrieve the content of the following HTML table and is wondering whether there are any libraries/jars that could do the job easily without having to write a parser possibly in XSLT:
<td class="propType">Address</td>
 <td class="propType">Company</td>
 <td class="propType">Department</td>
 <td class="propType" align="right">Employee</td>
 <td colspan="6">
 <td>Firstname</td>
 <td>Surname</td>
 <td>DOB</td>
 <td>Sex</td>
 <td class="even">John</td>
 <td class="even">Smith</td>
 <td class="even">01/02/2001</td>
 <td class="even">Male</td>One awkard method is by using the stringbuffer as follows:
String greaterthanSignedList[] = greaterthanSigned.split(">")
to pickup all the text that comes after the greater than (ie ">" sign)...
String lessthanSignedList[] = lessthanSigned.split("</"</" sign) ...
However, I am sure that there must be an easier way to do this such as using existing SAX/DOM/XSLT.. jars to retrieve these values quickly.
Many thanks,
Jack

Hi,
I am wondering if you could be a little patient with your guidance in this area. Perhaps a few points on what are some of the classes that should be used. Even an example would be terrific, if possible.
I have slowly weighing through 2 books - Learning XML by Erik T. Ray (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/learnxml2/toc.html) and Java & XML by Brett D. McLaughlin & Justin Edelson (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101497/toc.html) but would like to dwell into the relevant chapter and by pass anything else that is not relevant to my current in the XML area in order to fast track development.
I am new to XML and would very much appreciate if you could point to the area of specific to focus on getting this job done only.
Many thanks again,
Jack

Help me...How to read the content if "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" is used?

I am doing a project for internet control using Java,PHP and MySql.All sites should go through the proxy server only.If the HTTP header contains Content-Length,am getting the content length as below:
public class HTTPResponseReader extends HTTPMessageReader
    String statusCode;
    public HTTPResponseReader(InputStream istream) throws IOException,                     NoSuchElementException
BufferedInputStream distream = new BufferedInputStream(istream);
retrieveHeader(distream);
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(new String(HTTPMessageReader.toArray(header)));
versionProtocol = st.nextToken();
statusCode = st.nextToken();
String s;
while (st.hasMoreTokens())
        s = st.nextToken();
        if (s.equals("Transfer-Encoding:"))
       transferEncoding = new String(st.nextToken());
     if (s.equals("Content-Length:"))
       contentLength = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
     if (s.equals("Connection:"))
      connection = new String(st.nextToken());
      if (connection.equals("keep-alive")) mustCloseConnection = false;
   retrieveBody(distream);
}After getting the Content-Length,i used read method to read the content upto that content length.Then i concatenated the HTTP header and body and the requested site was opened.But some sites dont have Content-Length.Instead of that,Transfer-Encoding is used.I got the HTTP Response header as "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" for some sites.If this encoding is used how to get the length of the message body and how to read the content.
Can anybody help me.
Thanks in advance...

Why don't you use HttpUrlConnection class to retrieve data from HTTP server? This class already supports chunked encoding...
If you want to do anything by yourself then you need to read HTTP RFC and find all required information. Well in two words you may reject advanced encoding by specifying HTTP 1.0 in your request or download chunked answer manually. Read RFC anyway :)

How to read the content of a blob col along with other cols as pipe delimit

Hi,
I would like to read the blob content along with the other columns . Assume table TAB1 has columns Response_log, Empcode and Ename. Here Response_log col is a blob data type, and the content of the blob is an xml file.Now i would like to read the content of the xml file of response_log column along with Empcode and Ename as pipe delimited . or else the best option would be to write to a text file with name extract.txt with the data being pipe delimited .
create table tab1(
response_log blob,
empcode number,
ename varchar2(50 byte)
)Sample code goes something like the one below .
select xmltype( response_log, nls_charset_id( 'char_cs' ) ).getclobval() || '|' || empcode || '|' || ename

How to read the contents of Input Field created via Screen Painter?

Hi All,
I have a module program / dialog program, on my second screen, I created an input/outbox field via screen painter of course,
now in my PAI, how can I read the contents of the input/outbox field?
Let's say the name of my input/outbox field is: P_WEKRS. Note: Get Parameter and Set Parameter is ticked.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
LOOP WITH CONTROL TC_DATA.
MODULE MODIFY_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
I want to get the value of the input/outbox field before my loop in table control? I thought that it will work like normal parameter in non-dialog programs.
Any helpful inputs will be appreciated/rewarded.
Thanks.
Jaime

Hi, Jaime
Do the following Change in you Follow Logic
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE read_or_change_value. " Add this
LOOP WITH CONTROL TC_DATA.
MODULE MODIFY_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
Add the Bellow Module code in you Driver Program.
MODULE read_or_change_value.
DATA: P_WEKRS like " the Field on Screen. Must be the same name as on SCREEN. and Type must be same too.
" Here you will find the Value in that Variable or if you will change the Value here you will find it change on Screen
END MODULE.
Please Reply if any Issue..

WD ABAP: How to get the contents of selected table lines?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to get the contents of table lines back from the UI. I display a table with several lines of data. The user selects some rows. I want to move the contents of the selected rows to another table. I have a context attribute, say DATA, with attributes FIELD1... FIELDn, using a DDIC structure. These are bound to the table UI element and the corresponding table columns. To get the selected rows, I use wd_context->get_selected_elements(). This works, but what I get from this method is references to if_wd_context_element. How do I know which row (row number = ?) this corresponds to? And how do I get the actual data? I want a structure with FIELD1 = value1 FIELD2 = value2 etc. My context attributes FIELD refer to table columns, but I'm looking for the table line...
Can somebody help me?
Thanks,
Ira

Hi Ira,
wd_context->get_selected_elements() returns WDR_CONTEXT_ELEMENT_SET which is a table type of IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT. You can loop through the WDR_CONTEXT_ELEMENT_SET, get into variable say node_elelement which is of type ref to If_Wd_Context_Element. Then you could use the method GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES of If_Wd_Context_Element which returns a structure with values of all the attributes in the selected row.
If you need the row number, while populating the node you could have an additional attribute called rowno and populate it correctly. When you select the data using method GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES, you would get the appropriate row number.

Srini.

How to read the contents of XML file from my java code

However I want to email to different people other then me. My email addresses are in the XML file.
From the java program which sends the email, how can I read the fields from XML file. If any one has done this, Please point me to the right examples.
Please let me know if there are any exmaples/BLOG's which explain how to do this(basically read the contents of XML file in the Java program).
Thank You,

How to read the content of "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header

Can anybody tell me how to get or read the value of transfer encoding.
I got the HTTP Response header as "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".But i can't get the chunk size or the chunked data.
Without getting those details i cant read the content of the site.If Content-Length is in the HTTP header,i can read upto that length.But in this Transfer-Encoding case,i cant know any other details except the value "chunked".So suggest me to read the content of the site using Transfer-Encoding.
Message was edited by:
VeeraLakshmi

I used HTTPURLConnection also.If i use that am getting the values in request headers only and not in Response headers.So i cant read the content.
Then i went through RFC 2616.There i can only understand about chunked transfer encoding.Still i cant get any idea to know the chunk-size and the chunked data of the transfer encoding.Because i am getting the HTTP Header Response as "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".Below that am not getting the size and data.If i know the size or data,i can proceed by converting the hex into bytes and i can read.
