JAVA mapping using SAX parser adds extra tags

Hi,
We are using java mapping using a SAX parser.It works well in standalone application ie it parses correctly and gets our desired xml structure and the xml is well formed too but when we import it in XI as a jar file it does not throw any errors but adds extra start tags, as a result the output xml is not well formed.XI is adding extra start tags.
If any one else has faced a similar situation please help.

Anirban.

Hi Roberto,
Thank you for the response.
As I said, it doesnt throw any error. It is working perfectly in standalone application. But when we deploy it to XI Server, it is not forming the well formed XML. We too are puzzled by this situation.
Okay, i will explain my scenario here.
The following is my input XML to the java pgm..
<Header>
</Header>
<Body>
</Body>
<SubBody1>
</SubBody1>
<SubBody2>
</SubBody2>
<SubBody3>
</SubBody3>
<SubBody4>
</SubBody4>
<Trail>
</Trail>
The desired output is
<Header>
<Body>
<NameChanged1>
<NameChanged2>
<SubBody3>
<SubBody4>
</SubBody4>
</SubBody3>
</NameChanged2>
</NameChanged1>
<Trail>
</Trail>
Just look at the SubBody2 and SubBody1 node, its tag name has been changed in the output XML. Thats y i have decided to use java mapping instead of message mapping.
I have developed the code for everything, i.e for changing the tag name and for forming the nested xml and it is working fine as a standalone application. But while deploying it to XI, the output is not well formed. I dont know the reason for it. Even I have checked the cardinality of the output Data types, that I have created. Its perfectly okay with all.
Any Ideas???

Anirban

Java Mapping Using DOM Parser.

Hi Experts,
I am new to Java mapping and i have followed the link
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3173071 and it is working fine. It is for only one item. I have tried to modify the code and i placed a for loop to go create the Output Node based on the No of Input Nodes and it is giving the error as below. But my requirement is
Input.xml : -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

XI java mapping using SAX

Hi,
im using java mapping for complex IDOC structure. If I run program localy, it works great, but when XI runs mapping, I have problems with xml file, some elements are not there ?! I don't know why it happens.....i said that i'm using complex logic, and therefore I'm using complex IF statments to produce segment in IDOC. I have noticed that there is a problem, because when I switch off IF, everything is fine???? any idea??
thx mario

Hi,
Do you have nested 'if' statements? Is it possible you could be experiencing a "dangling else" problem?

Java mapping for Remove and Add of DOCTYPE Tag

HI All,
i have one issue while the Java mapping for Remove and Add of DOCTYPE Tag in Operation Mapping .
it says that , while am testing in Configuration Test " Problem while determining receivers using interface mapping: Error while determining root tag of XML"

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mahesh,
I understand, you are using extended Receiver Determination using Operational Mapping (which has Java Mapping). And, there is an error message u201CError while determining root tag of XMLu201D, when you are doing configuration test.
Can you please test, the Operational Mapping (which has Java Mapping) separately in ESR, with payload which is coming now. It should produce a XML something like this [Link1|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/ce53aea0d7154ee10000000a421937/frameset.htm]

If it is not (I Think it will not), then there is some problem in Java Mapping coding. Please correct it. Last option, if your Java code is small in length; you may paste it here, so that we can have a look at the cause of issue.

Hi,
Dom will be quite expensive for this type of requirement since you will have to go to each element and then append the namespace.
I suggest you use SAX parser which is more efficient for such requirement.

Problem in using SAX parser.

Hai All,
I have got a problem in using SAX parser.
My XML looks like this:
<authorizer>
<first-name>HP</first-name>
<last-name>Services</last-name>
<phone>800-22-1984</phone>
</authorizer>
<destination>
<first-name>John</first-name>
<last-name>Doe</last-name>
<company>John Doe Enterprises, Inc.</company>
<department>Manufacturing</department>
<phone>800-555-1234</phone>
<address>
<street-one>1654 Peachtree Str</street-one>
<street-two>Suite Y</street-two>
<city>Atlanta</city>
<province>GA</province>
<country>US</country>
<postal-code>30326</postal-code>
</address>
</destination>
my part of SAX parser code is:
public void startElement (String name, AttributeList attrs)
throws SAXException
accumulator.setLength(0);
public void characters (char buf [], int offset, int len)
throws SAXException
accumulator.append(buf, offset, len);
public void endElement (String name)
throws SAXException
if (name.equals("first-name") )
firstname=accumulator.toString().trim();
if (name.equals("last-name"))
lastname=accumulator.toString().trim();
My problem is that i have to store the values of first-name and last-name.
but i have that in both
<authorizer> </authorizer> Tag and
<destination> </destination>
I need to retrive authorizer's firstname,lastname and
destination's firstname and lastname.
what i mean is i need to store authorizerFirstName,authorizerLastName
destinationFirstname and destinationLastname.
Pls let me know how to do that.
Thanks in advance.
Pooja.

hi pooja,
I think you are using DataHandler for parsing. Its deprecated. try using contentHandler . You can get the value of the element at the beginning. say for example
<firstname>sdfs</firstname>
the startElement will be firstname
the next method that it invokes will be characters method which has the text associated with the element. I am sending a sample code for your problem. try using it .
boolean m_boolinAuth = false;
boolean m_boolinDest = false;
boolean m_bAuthFName = false;
boolean m_bAuthLName = false;
public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String elementName, String qName, Attributes atts)
//does the logic for startElement
if(qName.equals("Authorization"))
m_boolinAuth = true;
m_boolinDest = false;
else if(qName.equals("Destination"))
m_boolinDest = true;
m_boolinAuth = false;
if(qName.equals("firstname"))
m_bFirstName = true;
if(qName.equals("lastname"))
m_bLastName = true;
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
//does the logic for characters.
String str = new String(ch,start,length);
if(m_bFirstName)
if(m_boolinAuth)
m_strAuthFirstName =str;
else if(m_boolinDest)
m_strDestFirstName = str;
m_bFirstName = false;
if(m_bLastName)
//same as first name case;

By the way, there is a new feature in Java 5.0 (Tiger) called "Annotations."
Since your code extneds DefaultHandler, you could specify a line with
@Override
before the definition of each of your methods. If you had used these, the compiler would have given an error since your methods did not override the methods of DefaultHandler.
(If your code implemented ContentHandler, by contrast, using @Override is invalid because you need to implement all of the methods defined in the interface definition.)
The other comment is that the safest way to handle characters() data is to use a StringBuilder/Buffer (StringBuilder is only valid in 5.0, StringBuffer has been around since Release 1.0) that you define in the startElement method. Use the append method to gather data presented to you in the characters() method and use toString() to harvest the data in the endElement method.

Problem in parsing an XML using SAX parser

Hai All,
I have got a problem in parsing an XML using SAX parser.
I have an XML (sample below) which need to be parsed
<line-items>
<item num="1">
     <part-number>PN1234</part-number>
     <quantity uom="ea">10</quantity>
     <lpn>LPN1060</lpn>
     <reference num="1">Line ref 1</reference>
     <reference num="2">Line ref 2</reference>
     <reference num="3">Line ref 3</reference>
</item>
<item num="2">
     <part-number>PN1527</part-number>
     <quantity uom="lbs">5</quantity>
     <lpn>LPN2152</lpn>
     <reference num="1">Line ref 1</reference>
     <reference num="2">Line ref 2</reference>
     <reference num="3">Line ref 3</reference>
</item>
<item num="n">
</item>
</line-items>
There can be any number of items( 1 to n). I need to parse these
item values using SAX parser and invoke a stored procedure for
each item with its
values(partnumber,qty,lpn,refnum1,refnum2,refnum3).
Suppose if there are 100 items, i need to invoke the stored
procedure sp1() 100 times for each item.
I need to invoke the stored procedure in endDocument() method of
SAX event handler and not in endelement() method.
What is the best way to store those values and invoke the stored
procedure in enddocument() method.
Any help would br greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Pooja.

VO or ValueObject is a trendy new name for Beans.
So just create an item class with variables for each of the sub elements.
<item>
<part-number>PN1234</part-number>
<quantity uom="ea">10</quantity>
<lpn>LPN1060</lpn>
<reference num="1">Line ref 1</reference>
<reference num="2">Line ref 2</reference>
<reference num="3">Line ref 3</reference>
</item>
public class ItemVO
String partNumber;
int quantity;
String quantityType;
String lpn;
List references = new ArrayList();
* @return Returns the lpn.
public String getLpn()
return this.lpn;
* @param lpn The lpn to set.
public void setLpn(String lpn)
this.lpn = lpn;
* @return Returns the partNumber.
public String getPartNumber()
return this.partNumber;
* @param partNumber The partNumber to set.
public void setPartNumber(String partNumber)
this.partNumber = partNumber;
* @return Returns the quantity.
public int getQuantity()
return this.quantity;
* @param quantity The quantity to set.
public void setQuantity(int quantity)
this.quantity = quantity;
* @return Returns the quantityType.
public String getQuantityType()
return this.quantityType;
* @param quantityType The quantityType to set.
public void setQuantityType(String quantityType)
this.quantityType = quantityType;
* @return Returns the references.
public List getReferences()
return this.references;
* @param references The references to set.
public void setReferences(List references)
this.references = references;

How to use SAX parser in J2ME

Please help me how to use SAX parser in J2ME.
Is there any function to find the value of a particular element from a XML file?
I am able to get Element name, Values, Attributes. But control is not in my hand, DefaultHanldler automatically invokes Character method, then only I am able to get values. But I don't know when this method gets invoked.
Is there any way or method so that I can get value of any element or attribute just by passing element name as parameter in SAX parser?
Is there any other parser through which I can perform this task in J2ME?
Thanks in advance.

// ===========================================================
     // SAX DocumentHandler methods
     // ===========================================================
     public void startDocument() throws SAXException {
          logger.info("Start of document");
     public void endDocument() throws SAXException {
          logger.info("End of document");
     public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, // local
               // name
               String qualName, // qualified name
               Attributes attrs) throws SAXException {
          elemName = new String(localName); // element name
          if (elemName.equals(""))
               elemName = new String(qualName); // namespaceAware = false
          tagPosition = TAG_START;
          // Set the string for accumulating the text in a tag to empty
          elemChars = "";
          // If the element name is "row", create a new row instance
          // If the element is "indexxid", "ModelPrice", or "ModelSpread",
          // the value will be read in the method "characters" and stored.
          if (elemName.equals("row")) {
               row = new IndexRow();
               numRows++;
          // logger.info("Number of numRow:"+numRows);
     } // end method startElement
     public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String simpleName, // simple
               // name
               String qualName // qualified name
     ) throws SAXException {

               if (family.equals("ABX.HE")){
               indexRows.put(row.getIndexREDId(), row);
               else {
                    //CDX ITRXX
                         indexRows.put(row.getIndexxId(), row);
          } else if (elemName.equals("IndexID")) {
               row.setIndexxId(elemChars);

          } else if (elemName.equals("OnTheRun")) {
               row.setOnTheRun(elemChars);
          } else if (elemName.equals("Date")) {
               row.setRowDate(elemChars);
          } else if (elemName.equals("Depth")) {
               row.setDepth(elemChars);
          else if (elemName.equals("Heat")) {

               // elemChars + "'");
               // Leave double value at default of zero if there are no chars
               if (elemChars.trim().length() != 0) {
                    dblVal = new Double(elemChars);
                    row.setHeat(dblVal);
                    indexId = row.getIndexxId();
//          ABX.HE
          else if (elemName.equals("IndexREDId")){
               row.setIndexREDId(elemChars);
          else if (elemName.equals("Coupon")){
               row.setCoupon(elemChars);
          if (elemName.equals("Ontherun")) {
               row.setOnTheRun(elemChars);
     } // end method endElement
     public void characters(char buf[], int offset, int len) throws SAXException {
          // If at end of element, there will be no characters
          if (tagPosition == TAG_END) {
               return;
          // The characteres method may be called more than once
          // for an element if the internal buffer fills up.
          // Append the characters until the end of the element.
          String strVal = new String(buf, offset, len);
          elemChars = elemChars + strVal;
     } // end method characters
} // end class MarkItIndexLoader
but the problem is i want to read (parse) any XML file means any Elemets would be change any time using SAX .In the above example
else if (elemName.equals("Heat")) {
else if (elemName.equals("IndexREDId")){
} else if (elemName.equals("Maturity")) {
like above I am doing hard code Elements names and reading the values so i don't want hard coding the elements names I want to read any element name and value dynamically.
If i give any one below XML file i want to read the Elements and displaying to console without changing any code i want to read the XML document.
EX:
Student.XML: <root>..</StName>..</StAge>...</root>
Employee.XML: <root>..</EmpName>..</EmpAge>...</root>
CdCatalog.XML: <root>..</Cdtitle>...</CdNumber>...</root>
I need one java program can ready any type of XML file elements and send to the Database table.
Please any one done like this task please suggest some reference links or books or sample snippet which can help me to develop program in my requirement.
Thanks in advance

You should ask in the Java forum.

JAVA Mapping with SAX: Illegal character exception &

Hi everybody,
I use a SAX JAVA Mapping. It throws an error cause the xml that is parsed has a
&
like in
<D_3036>Company & Co. KG</D_3036>
Does anybody know how to solve the problem?
I do not want to replace the
&
Are there special settings/properties for the handler/parser?
Thanks
Regards
Mario

Hi all,
thanks for your comments and suggestions. The error was not cause by the problem I describes.
FYI:
If there is an ampersand in the middle of a string, than the standard method
characters
in the handler is called three times!
This let me asume the ampersand was the error.

SAX: How to create new XML file using SAX parser

Hi,
Please anybody help me to create a XML file using the Packages in the 5.0 pack of java. I have successfully created it reading the tag names and values from database using DOM but can i do this using SAX.
I am successful to read XML using SAX, now i want to create new XML file for some tags and its values using SAX.
How can i do this ?
Sachin Kulkarni

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 XML using SAX Parser sequencially

I have a requirement to parse XML file sequencially. But I need to stop the parsing in-between for doing some processing.
Let me explain with example
I have a file with following structure.
<InputFile>
<Invoice>
     <InvoiceNo = "Inv1"/>
<InvoiceDt = "12012002"/>
</Invoice>
<Invoice>
     <InvoiceNo = "Inv2"/>
<InvoiceDt = "12012002"/>
</Invoice>
<Invoice>
     <InvoiceNo = "Inv3"/>
<InvoiceDt = "12012002"/>
</Invoice>
For each Invoice node I need to process some activites. So I need to write a method which will open the XML file and parse and returns me a complete element from <invoice> to </Invoice> sequencially.
Please let me know whther some body has solution for this.
Manoj.

If you're using a SAX parser then you can implement your code in the startElement(), endElement(), and characters() methods... have a look at the tutorial here:
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/index.html

Buiding xml file using SAX parser of JAXP

Please send me xml building using the sax parser.This is the urgent requirement ,iam not geeting how to solve this problem.so please anybody can help with one best example

You don't build an XML file with a parser. A parser reads an XML file and converts it to some internal representation. Try reading this tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/
