Java sax parsing question

Hi All,
Any help is appreciated. Is it possible to start parsing an XML document somewhere in the middle of the document using SAX parser? It will still parse the doc sequentially but has to start at a specified location or sorts instead of starting from the beginning.
Thanks in advance.

Sure. Open an InputStream on the document (a FileInputStream or whatever is convenient). Read the part of the InputStream before the document and ignore the data. When you have the InputStream's cursor pointing at the beginning of the document, pass it to the parser.

Java SAX parser. How to get raw XML code of the currently parsing event?

Java SAX parser, please need a clue how to get the raw XML code of the currently parsing event... needed for logging, debugging purposes.
Here's and example, letting me clarify exactly what i need: (see the comments in source)
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
     //..Here... or maybe somewhere elsewhere I need on my disposal the raw XML code of
     //..every XML tags received from the XML stream. I need simply to write it down
     //..in a log file, for debugging purposes, while parsing. Can anyone give me a suggestion
     //..how can i implement such logging while the SAX parser only returns me the tagname and
     //..attributes. While parsing I want to log the XML code for every tag in
     //..its 'pure form', like it is comming from the server directly on the
     //..socket's input reader.
     if ("p".equals(qName)) {
          etc...
}Than you in advance.

YES!
I've solved my problem using class RecordingInputStream that wraps the InputStream
here is the class source code:
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.FilterInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
* @author Unknown
class RecordingInputStream extends FilterInputStream {
     protected ByteArrayOutputStream sink;
    RecordingInputStream(InputStream in) {
        this(in, new ByteArrayOutputStream());
    RecordingInputStream(InputStream in, ByteArrayOutputStream sink) {
        super(in);
        this.sink = sink;
    public synchronized int read() throws IOException {
        int i = in.read();
        sink.write(i);
        return i;
    public synchronized int read(byte[] buf, int off, int len) throws IOException {
        int l = in.read(buf, off, len);
        sink.write(buf, off, l);
        return l;
    public synchronized int read(byte[] buf) throws IOException {
        return read(buf, 0, buf.length);
    public synchronized long skip(long len) throws IOException {
        long l = 0;
        int i = 0;
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        while (l < len) {
            i = read(buf, 0, (int)Math.min((long)buf.length, len - l));
            if (i == -1) break;
            l += i;
        return l;
    byte[] getBytes() {
        return sink.toByteArray();
    void resetSink() {
        sink.reset();
} Then here is the initialization before use with SAX:
this.psock = new Socket(this.profile.httpServer, Integer.parseInt(this.profile.httpPort));
this.out = new PrintWriter(this.psock.getOutputStream(), true);
this.ris=new RecordingInputStream(this.psock.getInputStream());
this.in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(this.ris));
try {
     this.parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
     this.parser.parse(new InputSource(this.in),new XMLCommandsHandler());
catch (IOException ioex) { }
catch (Exception ex) { }Then the handler class looks like this (it will be an inner class, so you can access ris, from the parent class):
class XMLCommandsHandler extends DefaultHandler {
     public void startDocument() throws SAXException {
          //...nothing
     public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
          // BEGIN - Synchronized logging of raw XML source code in parallel with SAX parsing :)
          byte[] bs=ris.getBytes();
          logger.warn(new String(bs));
          ris.resetSink();
          // End logging
          if ("expectedTagThatTriggersMeToDoSomething".equals(qName)) {
               //...Do smth.

Another SAX Parser Question

Hi All,
I get an xml file by making an http request. The name of the DTD comes as a relative path in the response xml file.
Questions
1. Is there a way to handle this
2. I read somewhere that i could avoid looking at the DTD alltogether,
can someone show me how with a sample code.
Kind regards

Nothing seems to help, Please help,

XML - SAX Parsing Question

Hi,
I am parsing XML using SAX parser and fill the values into the HashTable ( like Key value pair ).. so i can get the vaues for a particular key using hash get function.
For the following XML. There are 2 "subscriberNumber" attribute, one is under "sn:Subscriber" and the another is under "sn:SubscriberChange".
I can able to put this values in hash table and when i print the Hash table it is printing as sn:subscriberNumber=[1234567890, 1234567890] .. But how will i know which one is from "sn:Subscriber" and which is from "sn:SubscriberChange"
This is the XML :
<sn:SubscriberNotification>
<sn:notificationSubType>1120</sn:notificationSubType>
<sn:Subscriber>
     <cng:PaymentType>PostPaid</cng:PaymentType>
     <sn:subscriberNumber>1234567890</sn:subscriberNumber>
</sn:Subscriber>
<sn:SubscriberChange>
     <sn:subscriberNumber>1234567890</sn:subscriberNumber>
</sn:SubscriberChange>
</sn:SubscriberNotification>
Any suggestion and pointers are really helpful
Thanks,
-Raj..

Try something like this:
import java.util.Stack;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
class MyHandler extends DefaultHandler {
    Stack openTags = new Stack();
    public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
        if (qName.equals("sn:subscriberNumber")) {
            String parentTag = (String)openTags.peek();
            System.out.println("Parent tag of this <sn:subscriberNumber> is : <" + parentTag + ">");
        openTags.push(qName);
    public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
        openTags.pop();
}Regards

Thread/SAX parser question

I have a program that parses an XML document using a SAX parser. It reads the XML files that are in a given directory /home/user/input. So if there are three files it will parse the files in order, one at a time. I want it to process multiple files at the same time.
Current it�s
Public class ProcessFile extends DefaultHandler
How could I use Thread since I�m extending DefualtHandler for the parser?

SAX should mask the fact that some content is specified inside of a CDATA section.. It is just characters.
The safest way to process characters is to setup a StringBuffer or equivalent in the startElement method. There is a variation of the StringBuffer append method that has the same three parameters (char[], int, int) as the characters signature. The characters method may be called many times before you are given all of the content of the string. How it decides when to call you depends on the parser and is subject to change over time. But, if you accumulate the contents in each call of characters and do the toString() in the endElement method you are going to get the right content. Lots of people over the last year or so that I've been involved in this forum have had other ways they thought were better than this, but most of them have eventually tried and accepted this way because it works and their "better" way did not.
It looks like you got the content for the CDATA section (Please refer...).I'm not sure what your problem is.

Interesting SAX Parser Question

I am running a BEA Sample weblogic server and trying to parse in XML using SAX.The endElement in the sample program to parse the XML takes only one parameter like follows
public void endElement(String name) throws SAXException {
its not taking the local name.. in that case what should i do .. i won;t get the local name
I tried to change it to as follows
public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String localName,
String name)throws SAXException
and printing the localName.. its always empty.
The sample code extends like this..
public class RequestHandler extends DefaultHandler {
Will it make any difference ? If i extend from ContentHandler will it solve the problem ? .. Please help me
Thanks,
-Raj..

Thanks sir and figured that out earlier itself..
My question now is why i am not getting the "localName" in startElement & endElement function when i extend my class using DefaultHandler ?
I know if the Namespace is false or not present i won't get the localName.
But my XML has namespace .. and i get the "localName" when i extend the class using ContentHandler .. at the same time when i extend my class using DefaultHandler i am not getting the "localName" .. Do i need to explicity perform the Namespace processing ??
I am confused why i am getting localName when i extend from ContentHandler & not when i extend it from DefaultHandler ?
class MyHandler extends DefaultHandler {
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
// localName is always empty here
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
// localName is always empty here
class MyHandler extends ContentHandler {
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
//localName has Expected Value
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
//localName has Expected Value
This is the XML i have :

SAX Parsing Question

During SAX Validation, is there a way to create custom error messages that get put in the SAXParseExceptions?
I don't want to re-implement Schema Validation. Is there a call back method I can impement and register that gets called when a SAXParseException gets generated so that I can stuff my own message in there?

You can create a customised SAX error handler by using the ErrorHandler interface and then providing your own implementations for the standard error(), warning(), and fatalError() methods. Then, just register this error handler with your main SAX processing program.
For example:
import org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler;
import org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
public class ErrorChecker implements ErrorHandler {
     public ErrorChecker() {
     public void error (SAXParseException e) {
          System.err.println("[Error] " +
                       getLocationString(e) + ": " +
                       e.getMessage());
     public void warning (SAXParseException e) {
          System.err.println("[Warning] " +
                                 getLocationString(e) + ": " +
                                 e.getMessage());
     public void fatalError (SAXParseException e) throws SAXException {
          System.err.println("[Fatal Error] " +
                       getLocationString(e) + ": " +
                       e.getMessage());
          throw e;
     private String getLocationString(SAXParseException e) {
          StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer();
          String systemId = e.getSystemId();
          if (systemId != null) {
               int index = systemId.lastIndexOf('/');
               if (index != -1)
                    systemId = systemId.substring(index + 1);
               str.append(systemId);
          str.append(':');
          str.append(e.getLineNumber());
          str.append(':');
          str.append(e.getColumnNumber());
          return str.toString();
}

Fatal error XML-0121 in a valid XML file in v2 of SAX parser

Attachments: "1|type=text/plain|desc=Logging of Fatal error using v2 of SAX parser |file=v2_loggin
.txt|";"2|type=text/plain|desc=Logging of Fatal error using v2 of java SAX parser |17078|file=v2_l
gging.txt|"
Dear XML team,
I am using the SAX parser version 2.0.2.4. When parsing a valid
XML of approx. 3,5 Megabytes i get a fatal error XML-0121
saying 'End tag does not match start tag
<CORRESPONDENTIENAAM1>...'
We checked the xml on the well formedness with tools like XML
Spy and IE5. The XML is valid!
We did some testing on the XML with the SAXSample class and we
noticed that the error is related to the use of Entity
References. When we removed the Entity Reference ' the XML
was parsed correctly.
We also noticed that if we cut the XML in two smaller parts it
was also parsed correctly.
I attached the output of the parser, as well as the output of
the SAXSample class.
I hope you can fix this problem!
With kind regards,
Rolf van Deursen.

SAX PARSING

Hi,
I am using java SAX parser to parse the xml. In xml if any start and end tag exists with no character like (<name></name>) , then the charatcer() method is not getting executed. So for this tag i am getting the character value of previous tag. Say for example my xml is as follows.
<age20</age>
<name></name>
Now in the endElement method when i am trying to get the element value for <name> field i get the value as 20 because in character() method is not getting executed for this tag as this tag has no element and the previous element value is assigned to this. in character method i am assigning the character value to a global variable.
Please advise.
Thank you
Santhosh Hegde A

That is not a wise way to handle character input, as you have found out.
A better way is to use a StringBuffer.
Make a new StringBuffer once, in the constructor.
Set the length to zero at the start of a new element, append the new content each time the characters method is called, and then in the end element method you will have a valid copy of the text. If the length is zero, there is no text. There is even a nice version of the append method that matches the arguements of the characters() method.
If you have nested elements that each can contain text, you will need a more elaborate method than this (a stack of StringBuffers?) but your approach of using a "global' field would not work there either.

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.
Regards,
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???

Hi,
     Scenario : To get data entered in the Dynamic table of an online PDF form.
I have got the XML of the PDF form. The problem is with Parsing the XML to get the data.
I am using SAX parser. The code structure is as given,
public class Outercomp
    getPDFData(IS);    // IS is the Inputstream of the PDF XML
   // begin Others
   public static class inner extends DefaultHandler
        void getPDFData(InputStream IS)
              SAXParserFactory SAXfac = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
              SAXParser SAX = SAXfac.newSAXParser();
              SAX.parse(IS, new Outer.Inner());
        void startElement()
             // some Code
Problem :
I am getting the below exception at calling the method 'parse'.
com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Generic Exception: -> java.lang.NullPointerexception
I checked both 'IS' and 'new Outer.Inner()', both are not null.
Please give me a solution
Thanks,
Prabhakar

Hi Satyajit,
     ' DefaultHandler ' is a class, and I am extending it.
     First I missed it in the code, now I have changed it. Thanks for reminding me.
Thanks,

SAX Parser Validation with Schemas (C, C++ and JAVA)

We are currently using the Oracle XML Parser for C to parse and validate XML data using the SAX parser interface with validation turned on. We currently define our XML with a DTD, but would like to switch to schemas. However, the Oracle XML Parser 9.2.0.3.0 (C) only validates against a DTD, not a schema when using the SAX interface. Are there plans to add schema validation as an option? If so, when would this be available? Also, the same limitation appears to be true for C++ and JAVA. When will any of these provide SAX parsing with schema validation?
Thanks!
John

Will get back to you after checked with development team...

Question on SAX Parser: retrieving child

Hi,
I am using SAX parser to parse the XML file, because the XML file size are huge. But here i need to retrieve the child nodes of the element. Is it possible with SAX parser to retrieve the child nodes? (Like DOM parser getChildNodes method)
Thanks in advance.

No, of course not. When you use SAX you write the code that stores the information. So if you need the child nodes, then write code that collects all child nodes.

Extending included SAX parser in Java 5.

Hi all,
I have a somewhat unique problem and I could use some help. I�m tackling a project to integrate a mainframe system with a J2EE processing cluster. The main frame produces a data file that is formatted via template �overlays�. Since this process is very old, I cannot create the template that uses XML to delimit the data elements, and I don�t want to perform screen scraping. Also, the text in the tags will not be correctly escaped. Instead I can create tags based off of the same principal. I will probably use the format below for tags.
{{{tag-name}}}My data goes here{{{/tag-name}}} Since this is basically a structured tagged document, I would like to extend the existing SAX parser to use the tag syntax of {{{.*}}} for opening and {{{\/.*}}} for the closing tag. I would then also remove the parsing of escaped characters in the body. Is this feasible using the SAX parser, or will I need to create my own from scratch and just use the existing event interfaces?

I thought of that initially too, but unfortunately that still doesn't fix the encoding problem. I could replace '{{{' with '<' in the templates, that is not the issue. Here is a more concise example. Let�s say I have the following basic output.
Transaction
Description: Barnes & Noble
Amount: 25.50
If this came out in well formed XML it would look like this
<transaction>
     <description>Barns & Noble</description>
     <amount>25.50</amount>
</transaction>However, if I were to just use XML tags in my template on the mainframe, this is what I would get.
<transaction>
     <description>Barns & Noble</description>
     <amount>25.50</amount>
</transaction>As you can see, the �&� is not correctly XML encoded by the mainframe. When I run this through the SAX parser, it will not work because the �&� is not part of an escape sequence. I have a rudimentary implementation of org.xml.sax.XMLReader and it works with the SAX content handler implementation, it just seems like a somewhat clunky solution. The only other option I can think of is to run the whole file through sed on the mainframe to encode everything.

Question on SAX Parsing?

Hi,
How to Find end element of sax parser had parsed all the elements in the xml .
Thanks in advance.

I am able to read and proccess all the data in the xml. I need to find the end element method has finished parsing all the elements in the xml file.endElement() method will be called when the parser encounters an end tag. You need to find a logic to count the number of parsed elements in endElement() method.
