How to realise? Only DOM or Classes fed by DOM? (MVC - data in xml file)

Hi @ all,
I'm new in Java, and I don't have much expirience. I have been researching and studying different methods for developing my project.
This are my results:
I decided to use the MVC pattern.
I want to have a GUI which offer to enter data, choose data and manipulate data.
I want save the data in a xml file and I want to reload the data from the xml file.
My problem is:
As I understand it, there are two different possibilities to implement this.
The first might be:
I load my Data (structured) from the xml file as a DOM (this is my Model) and manipulate the DOM Object. Delet childs, insert new childs ....
The second might be:
My model have classes with attributes and the methods to manipulate them.
The Objects are filled by the DOM with the Data from the xml file.
The Objects manipulate their Data.
The manipulated Data is stored with the aid of DOM in the xml file.
The first is better for small data. And seems to me to be the better way. But if I have a lot of data, a big xml with a lot of childs and attributes to manipulate. I think it could be complicated to implement this and I might loose the overview!
I try to explain it by these examples:
My data:
<square dim="4">
The first:
I would load the DOM and manipulate the dim attribute direct! Save! Ready!
The second in my Model a class:
class square {
private int dim;
public changedim(int dim){ ...}
Now I would create the DOM get the Attribute from square , create a Objekt of square, manipulate the attributes, get the DOM and set the changed attribute.
Has someone made experiences with this implementations?
Thanks a lot of!

Unmarshalling a DOM node to an XML file with JAXB

I'm trying to unmarshall a DOM node to an XML file using JAXB. However I keep receiving a NullPointerException. This only seems to occur when I create the DOM Node from scratch. The stack trace looks like the following:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.sun.xml.bind.unmarshaller.SAXUnmarshallerHandlerImpl.startElement
(SAXUnmarshallerHandlerImpl.java:87)

        at Main.main(Main.java:103)(If I unmarshal an XML file into a DOM node, I can successfully marshall the DOM node out to a new XML file using JAXB without error.)
Any insight into what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated!

When I try to print the node name, all I get is: "#test"I think if you look more carefully you'll see it really says "#text". That's the "name" of a text node, of which you have a lot there. Also, if a node has children then you aren't printing its name, that's why you miss most of your elements.

How to add data in xml file

Hi ALL
I want to add new fields on seeded EBS page to store their values in hr_api_transaction table whoch contain information of other fields on that page which are seeded
but that table has one column which stores xml file and that xml file has all information about that page's fields
how can I store my custom fields values in that xml file ?

Hi,
As Andy said, add data to an xml file is overwriting, if you mean append data to xml file, please look this article:

How can i write the DOM tree to the XML File?

Asslamo ala mn etb3a Alhoda.
My problem priefly is that i can't write the DOM tree to XML file.
I write following code to give the user the ability to input the name of data base which he want to create.
If i wrote DB name,its atrributes and its values succefully to XML file ,then i'll read it succefully to RAM.
It'll be simple DBMS.
***My code***
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.DOMException;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
public class Main {
     * @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
     // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     String DBname;
DBname=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Your Data Base Name");
OPerations O=new OPerations();
     O.creatDB(DBname);
class OPerations {
public void creatDB(String name){
     //get an empty Document
     DocumentBuilderFactory f; f=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     try {
          builder = f.newDocumentBuilder();
          Document doc= builder.newDocument();
     //Build tree DOM With the root Node
          Element root=doc.createElement(name);
     //add the root element to thevdocument
          doc.appendChild(root);
catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
     // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
}

Do an identity transformation to output it:TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer tr = tf.newTransformer();
tr.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(new File(filename))));(typed without syntax check)

How to ignore a node while reading data from XML file

Hi All,
I have a XML file that i am reading that XML file using XMLStreamReader and then i need to create another XML file that has specific nodes(from the database).
I need to ignore nodes(with values) that are not in the database and while creating the XML file, only nodes that are it the database should be written in the new file.*
For eg.
<XML>
<Stud>
<Name>XYZ</Name>
<Roll>1</Roll>
<Class>1</Class>
</Stud>
<Stud>
<Name>ABC</Name>
<Roll>2</Roll>
<Class>1</Class>
</Stud>
</XML>
In database i have only two node :<Name> and <Roll>.
So, my new XML will be
<XML>
<Stud>
<Name>XYZ</Name>
<Roll>1</Roll>
</Stud>
<Stud>
<Name>ABC</Name>
<Roll>2</Roll>
</Stud>
</XML>

Since you're new to LabVIEW, I thought I would post a few helpful links. A great way to learn some LabVIEW basics is to look over the introductions --

How to save an n-ary tree of nodes to and from an xml file

Hello,
I am trying to represent a n-ary tree of nodes in xml.
More accurately, I am trying to save/instantiate a
tree of nodes to-from an xml file.
How do I represent the parent-child relationships?
Java: (simplified)
class Node {
Arraylist childNodes;
Node parent;
XML:
From what I have been learning about XML,
DTD:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE acd
     <!ELEMENT Node (childNodes, parent)>
     <!ATTLIST Node id ID #REQUIRED>
     <!ELEMENT childNodes (Node*)>
     <!ELEMENT parent (Node?)>
]>
Qs:
1) How do I represent the relationships? What would
normally be a reference in Java, how do I represent in
XML?
2) Do I use ID, IDREF? I have been trying to find some
examples to learn how. i.e. Does the IDREF, ID
automatically become an in-memory reference (or pointer)?
3) Is it preferable to use XML schema?
thanks,
Anil Philip
Olathe, KS
for good news go to
http://members.tripod.com/goodnewsforyou/goodnews.html

I downloaded XML Spy and used it to correct my earlier schema.
Qs:
In the instance document xml file;
1) How would one display the parent node?
2) If a child has a reference to a parent node as in the schema below, how can one know that the references are the same?
i.e. when the parent node is first declared and when it is referred to by the child.
Perhaps this raises a larger question - how does XML handle recursive references?

Calling java class from PLSQL that returns date/time a file was saved

Does anybody know, is there a java class I can compile into Oracle DB, and call from PLSQL that returns me the date/time a file was saved.
As far as I'm aware this cannot be achieved using UTL_FILE.
Please advise
Thanks
Warren

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

Hello,
many thanks for the reply. Your examples are very usefull for me.
To answer your questions.
An XML structure:
/etd
    /header - repeat in each row in output
    /account_group/account
        /invoice
            /da - repeat for each details under "selected "invoice
            /detaildc/dc - the lowest level
            /detaildn/dn - the lowest level
            /dt - repeat for each details under "selected "invoice
    /footer - repeat in each row in outputI would like to to have a 1 row for each "record" in /detaildc section and include related nodes at higher levels.
Please see below XML file, which is simplified file of example in first post, but includes a complete xml structure which needs to be queried in db.
