Parse THIS!!! XML can't contain HTML (anchor tags)????

Is there a way to parse XML that has HTML tags and special characters within it?
 
I've been searching for days for a solution with no joy.
 
The Oracle scripts I wrote below work fine as long as only alphanumeric characters are in the XML doc.
 
Here's what I'm doing...I'm page scraping several dynamic websites using ColdFusion. I remove all the unneeded HTML...and replace the remaining HTML with XML tags.
 
I then want to pass this XML (see below) variable (cfxml) to Oracle so it can be parsed and loaded into the database. If I remove the anchor tags and the CDATA tags...the code works fine....but I want the anchor tags loaded into my table.
 
Anyone have any suggestions....preferably a solution so I can stop pulling my damn hair out.
 
 
Oracle Scripts 
 
create or replace procedure LoadXML (cfxml in varchar) AS
 
begin 
 insert into JOBS (xmldoc) values (xmltype.createxml(cfxml)); 
end;
 
create or replace trigger job_bifert as 
begin 
if (:new.xmldoc is null) then 
return; 
end if; 
select 
xmltype.getstringval(:new.xmldoc.extract('/recordset/row/title/text()')), 
xmltype.getstringval(:new.xmldoc.extract('/recordset/row/company/text()')), 
 xmltype.getstringval(:new.xmldoc.extract('/recordset/row/location/text()')) 
into :new.title, :new.company, :new.location 
from dual; 
end; 
 
 
Sample XML being sent to Oracle via ColdFusion
 
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> 
<recordset> 
<row> 
<date>

Hi:

The CLOB arguments is an XML XForm instance document, the content node has the HTML tags to be parsed wrapped by CDATA tags:
So the String content are the HTML tags.
Once the document is parsed by JTidy it is converted to a valid XML and it will be accepted by the XMLType instance.

ICal [Exchange calendar]: "This calendar can only contain to do items"

Hi, after SL upgrade I cannot add/edit any longer my exchange accounts calendar in iCal. It only says that "This calendar can only contain to do items".
I have tried to delete the account and reset it but it didn´t solve the issue.
We are using Kerio Mail Server as Exchange solution.
Should I wait for 10.6.1 to fix this or is there a work around?

It was my fault, because this problem really a Kerio Mail Server faliure!

I need to get the complete element including tag. How to parse this xml?

I am sure there should be some solution to this. I have XML file like this
<test>
<data value="123" color="RED">
<type>single</type>
</data>
<data value="13323" color="BLUE">
<type>double</type>
</data>
</test>
I need to parse this XML and get the data element(s). The problem is that I need to get the complete data element include tags like
"<data value="123" color="RED"><type>single</type></data>". I need to parse the complete XML file and get every data element including tag and send it to another upstream process.
Any solution to this will be appreciated. I am little familiar with SAX. Is there any solution around using xerces SAX parser.
Other solution is also appreciated.
Thanks

 DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
 document = builder.parse(srcFile);
 NodeList list = document.getElementsByTagName("data");
 Node node = list.item(0); // Loop this
 TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
 DOMSource source = new DOMSource(node);
 StreamResult result = new StreamResult(outputstream);
 transformer.transform(source, result);
Using XSLT will be lot easier.No it won't. Extending DefaultHandler is easy.Do you really think so?

HTML DB HTML (Anchor Tag)

Hello everyone,
I have a target of icon which enables me to open a Web page located in a repertory of my network.
I would like to be able according to the place that I am in my application, to reach a place in page HTML (ANCHOR tag).
I put in page HTML of the anchors such as <A NAME="Zoom">
I tested in the target of icon: J:\PROJ\T-bord\LIV_01\relnotes0.3.2.html<a ref="#Zoom"> "target=_blank".
The page opens, but it is not placed at Zoom inking. Can you say to me if there is another way of being able to regulate my problem?
Thank you very much! Bye.

Hello Vikas,
I will try to reformulate my question with less ambiguity.
I have in the heading of each page of my application an image with a bond to open a file .PDF.
The file contains many information and I would like that by opening this file outward journey at a precise place in the file.
I did not see how proceeding to do that with a file PDF.
I then thought of modifying file PDF in format HTML.
With this format, I can place at various places, anchors(ex : A NAME="Zoom"), in order to use them in my application HTML dB.
At the time when I open file HTML, I want to place myself at the place that I want in the file without being obliged to traverse all the file to go to seek my information.
In the properties of the image in HTML dB, I placed in the section of the target of icon the address of the file and also the name of the anchor to be located at a precise place of my file: J:\PROJ\T-bord\LIV_01\relnotes0.3.2.html a ref="#Zoom" "target=_blank"
My file opens but at the beginning of the file. It is not occupied of the anchor to locate me at the desired place.
I seek how to make?
Thank you.

Method call in html anchor tag

I have read about how to place a hyperlink in JTable cell in other threads. i have a method called Details() which has a mouse pressed event which responds on left click on the first column cells of my JTable. then i get the column and row positions and open up a JDialog.
so Now i have to show the first column cells as hyperlinks(underlined and handcursor on visit).
i have done something like this,
setText( "<html><a href=\"\">" + (String)(value==null?"":value ) +"</a></html>"); this makes the cell values blue colored as well as underlined as soon as the table is loaded.
how can i make it behave like a hyperlink ? that is colored, underlined and handcursor only when mouse is placed on it.
Can i have the call to Details() method inside the anchor tag which i have shown above?
Thanks,

Well what do you know, I was doing everything correctly.

How to parse this xml

Hi Guys
I have the following xml file.
<scms:TokenDescription xmlns:scms="http://www./schema/2003/07/Passage/scms.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Name="SID33322800" ATR="asdfafasdfdafdasfsda" FormatVersion="1.0">
<Token SerialNumber="123456789" SmartChipSN="3232323232">
 <KeySetVersion>99</KeySetVersion>
 <SecurityDomainAID>fdfasfsadfsdaf</SecurityDomainAID>
 <AuthenticationKey>fdasfdasfdsafsda</AuthenticationKey>
 <MACKey>fdasfdsafdsaf</MACKey>
 <KeyEncryptionKey>asdfasdfasdfsdafa</KeyEncryptionKey>
 <DefaultPUK>fdsafsdafsdfdsafasd</DefaultPUK>
</Token>
</scms:TokenDescription>I have managed to read the xml fine and bind it manuall to an object as follows:
 DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
 Document doc = docBuilder.parse (new File("xml.xml"));
 NodeList keySetVersion = firstPersonElement.getElementsByTagName("KeySetVersion");
 Element firstNameElement = (Element)keySetVersion.item(0);
 NodeList textFNList = firstNameElement.getChildNodes();
 System.out.println("keySetVersion : " +
 ((Node)textFNList.item(0)).getNodeValue().trim());My Question is can anyone tell me how i can read this part of the xml from this document the serial number and smartChipSN
<Token SerialNumber="123456789" SmartChipSN="3232323232">

Try this code,
Nodelist nList = doc.getElementByTagName("Token ") ;
Element node = (Element)nList.item(0);
To read the values of "SerialNumber" and "SmartChipSN", you can use getAttribute method.
String serailNo = node.getAttribute("SerialNumber");
String chipSN = node.getAttribute("SmartChipSN");

Parsing this XML file with namespace

I need to parse the following XML structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ArrayOfTitles xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://example.com/">
<Titles>
 <articleID>123</articleID>
 <articleTitle>Title 1</articleTitle>
</Titles>
<Titles>
 <articleID>456</articleID>
 <articleTitle>Title 2</articleTitle>
</Titles>
<Titles>
 <articleID>789</articleID>
 <articleTitle>Title 3</articleTitle>
</Titles>
</ArrayOfTitles>
I am using this code:
var ns:Namespace = new Namespace("http://example.com/");
var strings:XMLList = xml.ns::Titles;
for each(var str:XML in strings)
trace(str);
But the output still has the namespace in each node.

Well, I have to say openning a new file writer every time you write a block of characters is pretty horrible, why not just use one buffered writer for the whole operation. I can't see the memory leak, but I think this would run agonisingly slowly.

Hi Ritehere,
I know this is simple but am beginner in Powershell Script so I was looking for logic to go through however the output you provided is not what i am looking for and your script is too complicated, as under timestamp i wanted display value and correspoding
to display value the OID name and then name value correspoding to that OID. May be u got it wrong.
Thanks anyways.

Action bindings for html anchor tags

I've used this code to use a link in the same way you would use a button:
<a href="theAnswers.do?event=create&Arg0=<c:out value=${bindings.Create.enabledString" />">
<img height="26" width="34" src="insert.GIF"/>
It works for several operations except for Commit and Rollback.
This is what i tried for a commit:
<a href="theAnswers.do?event=commit&Arg0=<c:out value=${bindings.Commit.enabledString" />">

How different Web Services can use a class which parses an XML file

I am using RAD6.1 for developing and deploying web services.As I am using 15 web Services which uses a common class which is used to parse an XML file.As this XML file should be parsed only once and should be used by all the web services.I have made this common class as Singleton but it works as singleton for only one webservice and for other web service again it is parsing the xml file.I want to parse this xml file only once and used by all the web services.In my case tis file is parsed 15 times for 15 web services, but it should be parse donly once and used by all 15 services.Please give me the solution.
Thanks and Regards
Sayeeduzzaman

Hello,
the 15 Webservices should have a static attribute which contains the xml:
private static String xml;
then initialise the xml like this:
if (xml == null)
xml = parseIt();
else
//do nothing, XML already initialised!
}

I want to get the infomation for that xml file. like mss_depart id=233, building xpath dyanmically for every id and loading
that using dom4j. which is very very slow.
Is there any other solution for that to read the data using sax parser only.
I want to execute the xpath or data for the following way.
//a_depart/@id ------> all the ids of a_depart tags if it returns 3 values say 123,124,125
after that i want to execute
//a_depart[@id='123']/b_depart/@id like this ...to retrive the values of all the levels ...
 I am executing following xpath for every unique ids at all levels.
 List l = doc.selectNodes(xPathForID);
 List l1 = doc.selectNodes(xPathForAttributes+attributes.get(j)+"/text()");
But it is very slow and taking lot of time.
Is there any other way to solve this problem. If any please mail me it is urgent.
I am using jdk1.4 and jdk1.5
Is there any support for sax parser to execute xpath in jdk1.5 direclty, with out using dom4j
Thanks in advance....

I doubt you will find a preexisting solution to your problem.
SAX is usually recommended for processing big files (where "big" is undefined"). It works on big files by avoiding the messy problem of storing the data -- that is left as an exercise to you.
DOM (and its variants) works by building a Document object as the head of the tree of objects for the entire contents. With DOM, you can then use XPath, because there is something to search that is already in memory. To use XPath, you seem to have two choices, build a DOM-ish tree, or if you can find an XPath processor (I'm not sure if one exists) that can process the XML file directly, but it will be slow, since you are looking for "all" occurences of an attribute, and this means you have to read the entire file each time.
It might be worth exploring a hybrid approach -- use SAX to get some information, and build your own objects to store the data. Maybe a HashMap as the main index. But, that will keep you from using XPath, since you do not have the data structures it expects.
A third alternative would be to look at JAXB. It builds Java code from a Schema of your data and then when you import the data, it creates the necessary objects and fills in values. But, I don't think XPath woll work there either.

I am using liquid data for retreiving data from database which I am able to do
but the problem is that it generates the xml on the fly and prints the response
in xml format in html document .My need is that I want to parse this xml and use
the data on need basis in my jsp document.
I am usig following weblogic workshop 8.1 tags in my jsp :
<lds:query name="bdemo_cust_info" server="t3://localhost:7001">
<lds:param name="cust_name" value="<%=\"MCD\"%>"/>
</lds:query>;
Please help??

hi Ajay
You can create a Liquid Data Control and display it using NetUI - or see the QueryClient
example in weblogic\samples\liquiddata\ejbAPI and create an XML Bean from the
result.
