JTextPane to xml

Hi!
I have a question, how to write the text and pictures from a JTextPane into a XML document?!
I can save the text and pictures from the JTextPane into a document but it not works with XML document:
private void doSave(File file) {
FileOutputStream fous = null;
ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
try {
fous = new FileOutputStream(file);
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fous);
oos.writeUnshared(jTextPane_weather.getStyledDocument());
oos.flush();
} catch (IOException ex) {
} finally {
try {
fous.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
try {
oos.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
}

Thanks java-forums.org Eranga's suggestion!
With my first method:
//doSave
ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
fous = new FileOutputStream(file);
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fous);
oos.writeUnshared(jTextPane_weather.getStyledDocument());
oos.flush();
//doRead
ObjectInputStream ois = null;
fois = new FileInputStream(file);
ois = new ObjectInputStream(fois);
DefaultStyledDocument text = (DefaultStyledDocument) ois.readUnshared();
jTextPane_weather.setStyledDocument(text);
I can get what I want.But if there are more than one jTextPane, I have no idea how to save and parse the file.
With Eranga's suggestion, I have tried the Serializing Java Objects as XML:
//doSave
XMLEncoder xenc = null;
fous = new FileOutputStream(file);
xenc = new XMLEncoder(fous);
xenc.writeObject(jTextPane_weather.getStyledDocument());
xenc.flush();
//doRead
XMLDecoder xdec = null;
fois = new FileInputStream(file);
xdec = new XMLDecoder(fois);
DefaultStyledDocument text = (DefaultStyledDocument) xdec.readObject();
jTextPane_weather.setStyledDocument(text);
But I can not get what I saved, nor put it into the jTextPane.
Where is the problem?!
Thanks ahead for your help!

How do i save a JTextPane's content XML-formated?

I want to save a JTextPane's content XML-formated and also want to read the content from a stored XML-file back.
Does anybody know a solution?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You will need to write the XML output yourself and use either SAX or DOM and an XML parser ( such as xerces from Apache ) to read the XML file back in.

JTextPane & XML highlighter

Hello,
I wrote an XML Viewer via JTextPane.
Unfortunately I don't know how to implement a good XML highlighter.
I wrote an own code using the regulary expression.
With the regulary expression I can get the "startPosition" and "endPosition"
of pattern I am searching for within a text.
StyledDocument xmlDoc;
xmlDoc.setCharacterAttributes(startPosition, length, style, true);It is working very good for xml files up to ca. 1000 ... 1200 lines.
But for bigger files it takes too long until the highlighting took place.
1) Is there another faster mechanism to highlight xml files?
2) How do I wrap / unwrap the horizontal display without re-reading or re-highlighting the xml file again?
Thanks Aykut

Interesting. I will keep that in mind.
I have more or less got what i need working now - just smoothing out some bumps.
Extending DefaultHighlighter cannot help much as to override paint() is near impossible because required info is private in the superclass :(
But I could hold my own highlight info there for one highlight type and paint those first before calling super.paint(). Looking back, I should have replaced the whole highlight system - that would have been easier and neater.

JTextPane and XMLParser and jdk .-) problems

Hi there.
I have a nice problem, which really gives me headaches.
I have an XML editor (working as an applet or as an aplication, using a JTextPane). All worked ok untill jdk1.3 and parts even until jdk1.4. Now 2 big problems appeared.
1.Under jdk1.4.1:
Spaces between lines are awful big. The actual characters are ok, but the cursor is almost twice as the characters. The distance from the bottom of a character and the bottom of the line is pretty big. Now that looked to me as a SpaceBelow or LineSpacing problem. I've tried to set up the SpaceBelow or/and LineSpacing... everything that I've thought it should work. No result. Seems like they have no effect when XMLParser comes in place and sets up the document content (at least i think this is the reason, also i'm not sure). An element tree implemented shows me that this attributes are set to the values I've intended, but no 'visual' effect. Does anyone know ANYTHING about this? Please!
2.Starting from jdk1.3. Doubling of tags.
If the XML editor reads something like <FT>something</FT> from a xml file, it sets in the JTextPane <FT><FT>something</FT></FT>. It's working under jdk1.2 but if I switch to 1.3 or 1.4does something like this. Any idea what's going on? Could it be an unfortunate mix between jdk and xalan libraries?
I REALLY hope that ANYONE of you knows ANYTHING about these!!!
THNX!

Hi DrClap.
Well, this would be the best thing to do. The only problem is that those are long time gone. Not really 'gone', but they are not to be found.
There's something about first problem: At the end of starting process, after the parser finished his work, if I come and set the attributes (in the document of the JTextPane, using StyleConstants) with replace set to true, the display is ok but, of course, I loose any style defined in the xml file. That means is not a problem of the JTextPane in jdk 1.4 (at one time I thought it might be a 'mapping' problem of the JTP in 1.4) or?
Because I'm really stuck, I have all kind of strange ideas!!!
Could be "old libraries(for the parser) - new jdk" mixture problem, perhaps? (I've told you!)
THX for your previous response.

Ignore Tab-Setting in a JTextPane

Hello,
i have a JTextPane and I need a Tab Size 0. I want to ignore the Tab-Setting, cuz I got an XML-Editor, with automaticaly indent.
Does anyone Have an Idea ?

This thread might help:

Is there any compoment can explain XML & HTML?

I want to create an client end-point as an explorer like IE,which can send http request and receive XML(including XSL SVG and so on),HTML,JavaScript and expliant them and show them right on my client end-point explorer.
I mean that I will use swing to create a UI to replace the IE UI,and it can support all the functions of IE, so,is there any compoment can help me as a plug-in ?

Johny,
Swing has Styled Text areas to accomplish your requirement (see JEditorPane and JTextpane). Don't expect much from them. Rendering HTML is not easy, when you want a good rendering engine use the mozilla rendering engine or embed internet explorer in your application. This will involve doing native coding. Don't ask me for an example code, I don't have any.

XML Syntax highlighting (again :)

Hi there,
I know, that there have been quite a view posts about this topics, but as far as I see, there has been no solution to this.
So I wanted to ask if someone has implemented a XML Syntax highlighting or knows where to get a tutorial from to accomplish so (inheriting from DefaultStyledDocument...?)
Sincerely
Charly

Hi!
I have the same need: an XML Syntax Highlighting (coloring).
I don't need an XML editor, I have a JTextPane that shows XML code and I would like it to be done with a syntax coloring.
If you have a solution I will really appreciate!
Thanks
Gio :-)

JTextPane and inserting/deleting image

Hi,
I have problems with my jtextpane. I am usign jtextpane do make simple richeditor.
I can insert image, and no problem with inserting
But after that, where content of jtextpane is saved and opened again, image is not able to delete...
If is there any solution?
Sorry for my broken English.

Hi everyone,
Does the image get saved when you serialize the document?
What are you doing to serialize the document by using xml or by serializing it as an object or by using the rtf kit

JTextPane custom views keyboard problem

Hi,
I am trying to implement a custom view in the JTextPane. The view is appearing fine but the keyboard cursor movements are not working. The cursor no longer moves from line to line as it used to when using the arrow keys. However Iam able to move from the end of 1 line to the start of next line. This is when I override section view with my custom view.
In another case, when I override paragraph view, then the cursor size is equal to the paragraph height and I get a tall cursor the size of the paragraph. I can no longer navigate the lines in the paragraph.
Could someone tell me why this is happening.
cheers,
Hugo
My views are setup as follows:
     class XmlViewFactory implements ViewFactory {
          // Creates the XML View.
          public View create(Element elem) {
                 String kind = elem.getName();
            if (kind.equals(AbstractDocument.ContentElementName)) {
                             return new LabelView(elem);
                     else if (kind.equals(AbstractDocument.ParagraphElementName)) {
                               return new ParagraphView(elem);
                     } else if (kind.equals(AbstractDocument.SectionElementName)) {
                          return new ResponseView(elem);                         // <-------     my custom view
          //                return new BoxView(elem, View.Y_AXIS);
                     } else if (kind.equals(StyleConstants.ComponentElementName)) {
                         return new ComponentView(elem);
                     } else if (kind.equals(StyleConstants.IconElementName)) {
                         return new IconView(elem);
                return new LabelView(elem);

Hi,
Here's an update to my earlier question.
The problem happend to be not with any custom views as earlier mentioned. The following usage doesn't work.
if (kind.equals(AbstractDocument.ContentElementName)) {
                  return new LabelView(context, elem);
              else
              if (kind.equals(AbstractDocument.ParagraphElementName)) {
                        return new ParagraphView(elem);
              } else if (kind.equals(AbstractDocument.SectionElementName)) {
                   return new BoxView(elem, View.Y_AXIS);
              } else if (kind.equals(StyleConstants.ComponentElementName)) {
                  return new ComponentView(elem);
              } else if (kind.equals(StyleConstants.IconElementName)) {
                  return new IconView(elem);
           return new LabelView( context, elem);even when no custom view is involved. I get a blank JTextPane.

DOM(XML) + StyledDocuments

Hi there,
I wonder how one could adapt the structure of DOM-Documents to the structure StyledDocuments are made up.
What I want to do is the following:
I want to parse a XML file by using DOM. The I want the DOM-Object (containing the parsed XML-file) to be displayed in a JTextPane, and I want to be able to specify for each tag what it should look like in the TextPane (color, font,...).
Does anyone have an idea how to realize this? I am grateful to any help.
Sincerely
Karlheinz Toni

Hi Karlheiz Toni,
you would have to build your own mapper between a DOM document and a Java document which would convert from a DOM document to a Java document.
Another option would be to build an own DOMEditorKit with a ViewFactory and Views built to render DOM documents for JTextPane directly.
And a third solution would be to parse the XML file directly into a Java document instead of a DOM document.
But all solutions would involve quite a lot effort and as far as I have seen nothing exists for that so far.

Adding CDATA To every element in xml _ JDOM

Hi,
I need to parse xml using JDOM and add

Question: Please see the code below.............
I am copying a text which is in Hindi(DBWT-yogesh font) in JTextPane. When I am trying to retrieve hindi text from JTextpane using getText() I am obtaining hashampersand123,hashampersand156(hashsymbol,ampsymbol,123;like that ) some thing like this.
If I dont set contentType to text/html and use getText()
I obtain some junk characters. If I copy those junk characters in xml
and view the xml with notepad and change the font to DBWT-yogesh
I can see hindi text.
I need to setContentType to html because I want to display text
as bold or italic depending on html tags in content. when I use getText() I obtain some thing like this. If I store these characters even after changing font to DBWT-Yogesh I am not able to see hindi text.
I want to convert (hashsymbol,ampsymbol,123;like that ) to junk characters so that when I change font using notepad I must be able to see hindi text.
Please provide help............................. your earlier answer took me in the right direction.

Tab setting in JTextPane

Hi,
I am going to develop an simple XML editor which will provide following functionalituies.
* Automatic Indentation
* Highilight attributes of given schema
* Tag Validation.
I decided to use JTextPane.
