Java objects to xml streams in pipe

hi all
I am stuck up at a point in my project.I want to write and read a java object ie Record record , in to a pipe.Not the record object has the data that i reads from a text file.I want the data written in the pipe in the from of xml stream and that read from the pipe in the xml stream .can anyone suggest me with some concerete solution
thanking you

}OK, My questions are:
[1]. what I generated XML by XSTream is very complicated, especially for object LocationTest, Can we make it as simple as others such as Person object??
[2]. after I run it, LocationTest will popup and a red ball in a panel will dsiplay, after I change red ball's position, I hope to persist it to xml, then when I read it back, I hope to get same picture, ie, red ball stiil in old position, How to do that??
Thanks a lot!!

Positive feedback? Then please take this in a positive way: if you want to work on persisting Java objects into XML, then GUI programming is irrelevant to that goal. The 1,000 lines of code you posted there appeared to me to have a whole lot of GUI code in it. You should produce a smaller (much smaller) example of what you want to do. Calling the working code from your GUI program should come later.

Sending Custom Java Objects over XML!!

Hello all !
Can anybody please tell me how can I send custom Java Objects through XML? For example we can set attributes for a node using the setAttribute method, it accepts only strings, also the setTextContent method requires text and sets the node's value.Can I some way set my own Java object as the value of a particular node or attach it to the node?
Thanks in advance.

So I should rather go for Marshalling or Serialization or is there any other work-around possible?I don't know. You didn't say what you had against text formats. Since all Java objects are composed of primitives when you get right down to the bottom, everything in Java can be serialized as text versions of those primitives. So you're going to have to explain why you think a work-around is necessary at all.

Serializing Java Objects to XML files

Hi,
We looking for SAP library which can serialize Java Objects into XML files.
Can you point us were to find it ?
We have found such open source library called "XStream" at the following link
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/08/18/xstream.html
Is it allowed to use that library inside SAP released software ?
Thanks
Orit

How about https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/83f6d2fb-0c01-0010-a2ba-a2ec94ba08f4 [original link is broken] [original link is broken]? Depends on your use cases...
Both are supported in SAP NW CE 7.1.

How to convert Java Objects into xml?

Hello Java Gurus
how to convert Java Objects into xml? i heard xstream can be use for that but i am looking something which is good in performance.
really need your help guys.
thanks in advance.

There are apparently a variety of Java/XML bindings. Try Google.
And don't be so demanding.

Design pattern for converting multiple complex Java objects to XML

What is the traditionally accepted high performance mechanism for converting Java objects to XML? Some options I have explored are:
1. SAX-JAXP
2. DOM-JAXP
3. JAXB
4. Castor
Which of these usually performs the best for large, complex objects which contain multiple subobjects?
Thanks.

Take a look at XStream. It will simplify your life considerably.
Typical code snipped
XStream xStream = new XStream();
xStream.toXML(someJavaObject);That's it. Regarding the others...
1. SAX-JAXP
Can be used for XML -> Java Objects, but you have to write significant amounts of ugly, high maintainenance code
2. DOM-JAXP
Slower and more memory intensive than SAX because you need to read the whole object into memory first. Just as ugly and high maintenance.
3. JAXB
Actually very good for going from a POJO to XML, but rubbish in the opposite direction. The worst part is it adds an extra step to your build process as you need to tell it to generate and compile the source for doing this.
4. Castor
Not used it since JAXB came out. Works pretty much in the same way but also supports XML -> POJOs.

JAXB - Marshalling populated Java object into XML

I have a populated Java object that I'd like to marshall to an xml file.
I don't instantiate this object from a DTD, nor do I need to generate the object via unmarshalling an xml. I'm just trying to build something akin to a toXML() method for this object.
Is JAXB what I should be using?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.
Paul

Hi Paul,
Did you ever sort this out?
I too am now having problems with Marshalling to and from XML.
I have been able to write my own Marshalling class but can't seem to be able to DeMarshal a XML stream to a SOAP object.
Please reply to this message if you are able to maybe shed some light on my problem.

Hi
I recommend you use the API JAXB. Is much simpler.

API for converting a Java object into XML?

Do you know of any Java API that I could use to convert a Java
object into its equivalent XML representation?
For example if I have a class called "Foo" with variables va, vb
and I have an instance of Foo with va having the value 1 and vb
having the value 2, I would like be able to generate the
following XML fragment:
<Foo>
<va>1</va>
<vb>2</vb>
</Foo>
Thanks,

How to generate Java objects from XML files with out scema compilation

Dear participants,
My name is Raghavendra , i have a requirement of reading XML files Dynamically and parse them and create java types for manipulation . i will not be provided with sxd files (no schema compilation )coz no one knows how many types of structures are there. i want a generic solution. Please Help.
Thanks ,
Raghavendra Ach
you can mail me to " [email protected]"

You could also look at something like Apache Digester, which will parse your XML and populate Java objects with the data. A slightly steeper learning curve than the lower-level APIs such as JDOM, but that's outweighed by the lesser development effortdon't think that would work for the original problem, which seemed to indicate that the xml had an unknown structure.

JAVA Object to XML to JAVA to XML

I have to achieve below in java:-
-Create input XMLs from Java class (that resides in a jar).
-Take input from user then store that data to Java object and submit for processing.
-After processing print response java object again in XML.
What is the best API to achieve this. Will be helpful if any example is available.

Thanks for the Reply =)
I have a Java Object that have some fileds like arraylist<Class> I want to take care of these fields as well.
If that arrayList<Class> have another fields that can be normal fileds or arraylist of another class, need to take care of all fields during XML generation
Example:-
Root Class have below fields
private int ArCt;
private ArrayList<ClassChild1> Ar;
Setters
Getters
ClassChild1.class
private int PlnCd;
private int cArCt;
private ArrayList cAr<ClassChild2> cAr;
ClassChild2.class
private String PlNm
XML Needed - Example from above object
<root>
<ArCt>1</ArCt>
<Ar>
<ClassChild1>
<PlnCd>S</PlnCd>
<cArCt>2</<cArCt>
<cAr>
<ClassChild2>
<PlNm>Plan1</PlNm>
</ClassChild2>
<ClassChild2>
<PlNm>Plan2</PlNm>
</ClassChild2>
</cAr>
</ClassChild1>
</Ar>
</root>

Convert Serialized Java Objects to XML

I have seen numerous ways that you can modify a java application to serlialize it's data as XML rather than a binary stream. Does anyone know if there are any utilities, libraries, DLLS, tools, whatever to convert an already serialized binary stream to an XML file.
At the moment I am working on a script to do this, and it works for simple objects, but I am hitting snags as I test with more complicated class heirachies. I would love to find something that already does this for me.

I want to read data serialized by a java program in a C++ application. I don't want to have to modify the java application, but I do want to make it's data available in other applications.
I could modify the java app and serialize it's data in XML, but that isn't the prefered solution. :)

How to convert java object to xml?

Is JAXB the only way to do so?
Can somebody help me?
I have tried for almost a week,
but I am failed all the time.

Sax would be the best way to do it,
Create a class that implements the org.xml.sax.XMLReader interface. Fire events at its ContentHandler (like open tag, element content characters, and close tag) and it can be used to create a javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXSource.
I learnt how to do this by looking at example code that comes with the pache FOP project. They have a class which is "converted" to XML, and that output is fed through a transformation. I cribbed their code and used it in mine. Including their helper classes AbstractObjectReader and EasyGenerationContentHandlerProxy which help a lot.
Of course you never see the XML from the object, that's just a transitional form, but you COULD output that if you wanted. Take a look at http://xml.apache.org/fop/ - the code is bundled with the installation under the "examples" directory.

Writing JAXRPC Object to XML Stream by using LiteralObjectSerializerBase

I am trying to write the JAX-RPC object to a file before I dispatch it to the service provider. What I currently have is :
QName type = new QName("http://solms.co.za/utils/appsupport", "LicenseRequest");
XMLWriter writer = XMLWriterFactory.newInstance().createXMLWriter(System.out);
LicenseRequest_LiteralSerializer serializer = new LicenseRequest_LiteralSerializer(type, "", AppSupportService_SerializerRegistry.ENCODE_TYPE);
serializer.initialize(new InternalTypeMappingRegistryImpl(new AppSupportService_SerializerRegistry().getRegistry()));
serializer.doSerialize(licenseRequest,writer,new SOAPSerializationContext());But it does not work. I have the feeling I am not far off, but still mis something.
Thanks

Convert the method signature to a string (such as it is in the class file), and persist that.

Xml to java object

Hi
What is an easy way to generate an java object from xml
Thanks very much

Using DOM or JDOM (http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/, http://www.jdom.org/)
It is equaly as easy to create a dom or a jdom obj, but most java programmers find JDOM more intuative to work with.
Hope this helps!
