pls help me out
thnx in adv.

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);
thnx & Regards,

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.

Deleting records from XML file--just a little problem

Hi!
My xml file has a simple form like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AdressBook>
    <Name>Suzy</Name>
    <Lastname>Love</Lastname>
    <Adress>You street 22</Adress>
    <Phone>911</Phone>
    <Email>[email protected]</Email>
</Record>
<Record>
   <Name>Judy</Name>
   <Lastname>Goblin</Lastname>
   <Adress>Milkyway</Adress>
   <Phone>911</Phone>
<Email>[email protected]</Email>
</Record>
</AdressBook>Now, whenever I delete a record from that file it leaves a remaining tag <Record /> on the loction were previous record was. How do I delete that remaining tag or better yet, how do I delete Record element in whole. I am using jdom.
Here is the code I use to delete records:
public void deleteRecordFromFile(Record r)
          Element root=doc.getRootElement();
          List records=root.getChildren();
          Iterator listIt=records.iterator();
          while(listIt.hasNext())
               Element rec=(Element)listIt.next();
               Record p=new Record("","","","","");
               List recChildren=rec.getChildren();
               Element e=null;
               for( int i=0;i<recChildren.size();i++)
                    e=(Element)recChildren.get(i);
                    switch (i)
                    case 0: p.setName(e.getText()); break;
                    case 1: p.setLastName(e.getText());break;
                    case 2: p.setAddress(e.getText());break;
                    case 3: p.setPhone(e.getText());break;
                    case 4: p.setEmail(e.getText());break;
                    default: ;
               if(p.equals(r))
                    rec.removeContent();
                    System.out.println("Record deleted!");
          writeToFile(filename);
     }Like you see above I use the method removeContent(), should I use some other method? I need to get rid of that remaining tags in order to make my editing of the records stored in there easier. I guess I could make a seperate routine that would clean my file of those tags, but I think that is just too much time consuming...or not?
Please help me out here.:)

You cannot remove the elements of a List while iterating over them without the risk of throwing a ConcurrentModificationException, whatever method you would use. So you can only delete the records in two steps: collect them all, and delete them afterwards.
public void deleteRecordFromFile(Record r)
          Element root=doc.getRootElement();
          List records=root.getChildren();
          Iterator listIt=records.iterator();
          // Create a container for storing references to the records that will be deleted.
          ArrayList<Element> deleteList = new ArrayList<Element>();
          while(listIt.hasNext())
               Element rec=(Element)listIt.next();
               Record p=new Record("","","","","");
               List recChildren=rec.getChildren();
               Element e=null;
               for( int i=0;i<recChildren.size();i++)
                    e=(Element)recChildren.get(i);
                    switch (i)
                    case 0: p.setName(e.getText()); break;
                    case 1: p.setLastName(e.getText());break;
                    case 2: p.setAddress(e.getText());break;
                    case 3: p.setPhone(e.getText());break;
                    case 4: p.setEmail(e.getText());break;
                    default: ;
               if(p.equals(r))
                    // This record will be deleted.
                    deleteList.add(rec);
          // Delete all the records in deleteList.
          records.removeAll(deleteList);
          writeToFile(filename);

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

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

JavaScript is something entirely different than Java, even though the names are similar.
Try another website with forums about JavaScript.

How to retrive data from .XML file to JMS

hi friends.. this is vamsi from india.. i have been working on jsp, java bean, xml, jms, message driven bean , ejb and database from last couple of days. but i am not able to retrieve data from fields in xml file to jms. can any one help me out in retrieving the data from xml to jms..
thanking you,
vamsi.

Database but we are not able to retrieve the values
from XML to JMS."We are not able to" is too vague a statement. An answer to this could well be "Did you turn your computer on?"
So again, please post formatted code showing what you have done and where you are stuck.
Perhaps an error message and/or a stack trace if appropriate.
