Parsing complicated XML with XMLTable

Can anyone tell me how to write the syntax to parse the following XML snippet
<item rdf:about="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/30554/000104746910000954/0001047469-10-000954-index.htm">

what I need is
Title, pubDate, companyName, FileNumber, Seq, file, type, size, description, url
Have a problem starting at the edgar:xbrlFiling
select *

columns

Hi,
You need to add the namespaces in the [namespaces clause|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions228.htm#CIHGGHFB] of XMLTable.

Creating a PLSQL script to parse structured XML with repeated tags

Hi, I'm trying to parse an xml feed but the way it's structured makes it difficult to pull out the values. (see example) Would anyone be able to recommend a solution or some ideas as to how to get around this?

               </return>
          </ns3:commandResponse>
     </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>This is just a sample with just one WorkItem, but there would be much more, N number of items with 9 fields per item. (Not all of the fields were put in the sample, and some can have null values)
I only need to pull the content from /ns2:WorkItems/ns2:Field/ns2:Value/ns2:Item/ns2:Id for the first field and the /ns2:value/* tag of all the other fields. Then put this in a table where each row is a workitem and the fields are the columns (create table workitems (Type,ID,Reason,Dev Task Component,Created Date, Date Closed, Modified Date) --all the fields should be varchar2 except the dates)
What I've been trying so far seems rather brute force by running a nested loop to go through every item and field and then an IF case for each field 1,2,...9 which would insert the value into a table.
At the moment I'm using something like below to pull a single value
path1 = '//ns2:WorkItems[1]/ns2:Field[1]/ns2:Value[1]/ns2:Item[1]/ns2:Id[1]';
nameserve = 'xmlns:ns2="http://test.com/2011/Generic/schema"';
extractvalue(xmltype(src_clob),path1,nameserve);I'm not entirely sure if I would be able to substitute the [1]'s with [' || nitem || '] where nitem is loop number to do something like:
for nitem in 1..itemcount
loop
    FOR nfield in 1..9
    loop
        if nfield=1 then
            path1 := '//ns2:WorkItems[' || nitem || ']/ns2:Field[' || nfield || ']/ns2:Value[1]/ns2:Item[1]/ns2:Id';
            fieldvalue := extractvalue(xmltype(src_clob),path1,nameserve);';
        else
            path2 := '//ns2:WorkItems[' || nitem || ']/ns2:Field[' || nfield || ']/ns2:Value[1]/*[1]';
            fieldvalue := extractvalue(xmltype(src_clob),path2,nameserve);';
        end if;
    end loop;
end loop;The problem with the above script is how do I insert this fieldvalue into different columns on a table without using an IF case for each field.
I was wondering if there is simpler way to put each field into a different column and loop through every workitem. I looked into dynamically naming variables but I don't think plsql supports that.
Any help/advice is appreciated,
Thanks!

Parsing the xml with out dom parser in Oracle10g

I need to parse the xml and create new xml with out any parsers in oracle 10g.Please help me how to do this one.

Problems parsing a XML with binary element

Hi,
I'm trying to parse a xml that contains an element with the type "xs:hexBinary".
The problem is that when i load a file in to the xml everything goes fine ...
no matter the size of the file (i've tested it with 6Mb file), the problem is
that when i try to parse it i got an error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" ... i
don't know if there is any kind of size restriction or something like that.
Any information would be gratefully considered.
Thanks a lot.
Rober.

XML is a text format so of course it can't include binary data such as GIFs. But then so is HTML, so there doesn't seem to be much point in doing this. Your HTML would have to include a link to the GIF, rather than the GIF itself in any format, binary or otherwise. And therefore so should the XML. Given all that, it follows that parsers don't deal with whatever it is you are attempting.

How do i parse an xml with a string?

search this forum, it's been asked and answered a thousand times.

Parsing Chinese XML

Does anyone know why you can't parse an XML with Chinese
characters in?
You can read an external file and reads the chinese symbols,
but as soon as you parse the string all you get when you display on
a Chinese OS is: ?????????
It works fine with Korean and Japanese.

Have you tried Chris Swensons XML parser....the mojoXML one?

Parsing xml with namespaces

Hi
I have to parse a xml file with 2 namespaces.
The file looks like as follows
<AA xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/">
<BB xmlns="">
<Id>262</Id>
<Time>2011-03-10T13:55:00.000-06:00</Time>
<Indicator>true</Indicator>
</BB>
</AA>
i tried following 3 methods to parse this xml file but failed
PROCEDURE LOAD_XML

l_clob := ' <<Above XML Content Here >>';
lv_root CONSTANT VARCHAR2(1000) := '/AA/BB'; /* Tried lv_root CONSTANT VARCHAR2(1000) := 'AA/BB' with all the three methods */
/* Method 1 */ lv_namespace constant varchar2(1000) := 'xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/"';

dbms_xmlparser.freeParser(l_parser);
l_nl := dbms_xslprocessor.selectNodes(dbms_xmldom.makeNode(l_doc),lv_root,lv_namespaces );

lv_rows_inserted_cnt := lv_rows_inserted_cnt + 1;
dbms_output.put_line('I am Here');

dbms_xmldom.freeDocument(l_doc);
l_clob := null;
dbms_output.put_line(lv_rows_processed_cnt||' Rows Parsed ');
END LOAD_XML ;
Every time zero rows are being parsed and it's not going into the for loop at all.
How to parse these kind of multiple namespaces (Especially default and unassigned namespaces ) ?
Thanks
Pramod

As Anton showed, you don't need namespace if you directly access target node with the descendant axis.
However, I guess it's a simplified example so if you need it in a more complex case, this will do it :
DECLARE
l_clob clob := '<AA xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/">
<BB xmlns="">
<Id>262</Id>
<Time>2011-03-10T13:55:00.000-06:00</Time>
<Indicator>true</Indicator>
</BB>
</AA>';
lv_root       CONSTANT VARCHAR2(1000) := '/ns1:AA/BB/*';
lv_namespaces CONSTANT VARCHAR2(1000) := 'xmlns:ns1="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/"';
l_parser dbms_xmlparser.Parser := dbms_xmlparser.newParser;
l_doc    dbms_xmldom.DOMDocument;
l_nl     dbms_xmldom.DOMNodeList;
l_n      dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
lv_rows_inserted_cnt NUMBER := 0;
lv_rows_processed_cnt NUMBER;
BEGIN
dbms_xmlparser.parseClob(l_parser, l_clob);
l_doc := dbms_xmlparser.getDocument(l_parser);
dbms_xmlparser.freeParser(l_parser);
l_nl := dbms_xslprocessor.selectNodes(dbms_xmldom.makeNode(l_doc), lv_root, lv_namespaces);
FOR cur_rec IN 0 .. dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl) - 1
LOOP
   l_n := dbms_xmldom.item(l_nl, cur_rec);
   lv_rows_inserted_cnt := lv_rows_inserted_cnt + 1;
   dbms_output.put_line(dbms_xmldom.getNodeValue(dbms_xmldom.getFirstChild(l_n)));
END LOOP;
lv_rows_processed_cnt := lv_rows_inserted_cnt;
dbms_xmldom.freeDocument(l_doc);
dbms_output.put_line(lv_rows_processed_cnt||' Rows Parsed ');
END;

Can someone help me with a problem of parsing an XML file?

Hello,
I'm having some problems parsing an xml file. I get a SAXNotSupportedException when setting a property value.
Here is the piece of code where I have the problem:
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
SAXParser saxParser = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xmlReader = saxParser.getXMLReader();
DefaultHandler defHandler = new DefaultHandler();
xmlReader.setProperty("http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler", defHandler);
and the log is:
Problem with the parser org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException: PAR012 For propertyID "http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler", the value "org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler@4ff4f74a" cannot be cast to LexicalHandler.
http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler@4ff4f74a LexicalHandler
I've been working on this problem but I can't find the error.
Does anyone have an idea of what to do to solve it?
Thanx in advance,
M@G

before deciding which XML technology to use, you should see if your application fit in the category below:
use SAX:
1. The XML file is rather large (30 or 40+ MB)
2. I don't need the xml document in memory. I will parse the document and store the data in my own object.
use DOM or JDOM
1. The XML file is relatively small (less than 30 MB) or I can increase the runtime memory for larger xml file.
2. I will need to walk up and down the xml document tree severals time.
3. My application is in Java and it's not going to be rewritten in C++, etc (use JDOM)
NOTE:
JDOM is rather easier to use (for Java developer), but it's not an www.org.com standardlized xml parser.
personally, i like JDOM for traversing the DOM.

I'm using Jdeveloper 10g and tomcat 5.5.9. I have a servlet which calls a java class (ParseXML.java) that trys to parse an xml string using dom4j. A snippet of ParseXML.java...
import org.dom4j.Document;
import org.dom4j.DocumentException;
import org.dom4j.io.SAXReader;
public class ParseXML {
public ParseXML(String xml) {
          this.XML_STRING = xml;
     public String parse() {
          SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
          Document document = null;
          try {
               document = reader.read(XML_STRING);
               } catch (DocumentException de) {
               return de.getMessage();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               return e.getMessage();
               return "The xml root value is: " + document.getRootElement().getName();
} I've downloaded the dom4j 1.6.1 jar and put it on the project class path (specified in the jdev project proerties), and my code also compiles ok. But when i try to instantiate ParseXML from my servlet i get a runtime exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception
root cause
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/DocumentException
     arcims.GetMapServlet.doPost(GetMap.java:45)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:709)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802I'm not sure if this is a class path issue or something else; i've checked and rechecked the classpath and nothing seems amiss.
Suggestions, anyone?

Question: Is it really necessary to use a
StringReader if my xml document is not saved to disk?
I get XML_STRING from a web service, convert it into
a xml document so i can manipulate/parse it, but then
i don't save the document, i just discard it. How
does my system's default character set affect string
manipulations that i do within my java app?Your system's default charset doesn't have anything to do with string manipulations, if by that you mean substrings and concatenations of strings. It is used when you convert strings to bytes and bytes to strings. If your string contains a character that can't be handled by your default charset, then converting that string to bytes will put ? in place of that character. Converting those bytes back to a string will leave the ? as is. Thus your string has been changed.
Also converting the string to bytes can have bad results, because the first thing the XML parser does is to convert the bytes back to a string, using the charset declared in the XML. If this charset is different from your system's default, then your XML may be corrupted by this process if it contains characters that are encoded differently in the two charsets. The typical example of this is European accented letters like �, which are encoded differently in ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252 (most people's default charsets) and UTF-8 (the default XML charset).
Besides, converting the string to bytes just so it can be immediately converted back to a string is rather wasteful.

Persisting unexplained errors when parsing XML with schema validation

Hi,
I am trying to parse an XML file including XML schema validation. When I validate my .xml and .xsd in NetBeans 5.5 beta, I get not error. When I parse my XML in Java, I systematically get the following errors no matter what I try:
i) Document root element "SQL_STATEMENT_LIST", must match DOCTYPE root "null".
ii) Document is invalid: no grammar found.
The code I use is the following:
try {
Document document;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
document = builder.parse( new File(PathToXml) );
My XML is:

Any ideas? Thanks !!!
J�r�me Verstrynge

Hi,
I found the solution in the following post:
Validate xml with DOM - no grammar found
Sep 17, 2003 10:58 AM
The solution is to add a line of code when parsing:
try {
Document document;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
factory.setAttribute("http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
document = builder.parse( new File(PathToXml) );
The errors are gone !!!

How to Parse XML with SAX and Retrieving the Information?

Hiya!
I have written this code in one of my classes:
/**Parse XML File**/
          SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
          GameContentHandler gameCH = new GameContentHandler();
          try
               SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
               saxParser.parse(recentFiles[0], gameCH);
          catch(javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          catch(java.io.IOException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          catch(org.xml.sax.SAXException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          /**Parse XML File**/
          games = gameCH.getGames();And here is the content handler:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
class GameContentHandler extends DefaultHandler
     private ArrayList<Game> games = new ArrayList<Game>();
     public void startDocument()
          System.out.println("Start document.");
     public void endDocument()
          System.out.println("End document.");
     public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qualifiedName, Attributes atts) throws SAXException
     public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qualifiedName) throws SAXException

I have tried so many things in the startElement() method that I can't actually remember what I've tried and what I haven't! If you need to know, the Game class instantiates with asnew Game(int gameID)and the rest of the variables are public.
Please help someone...

OK, how's this?

               if(qualifiedName.equals("Game") || qualifiedName.equals("Database"))
                    {return;}
               else if(qualifiedName.equals("gameID"))
                    {games.add(new Game(Integer.parseInt(current)));}
               else if(qualifiedName.equals("name"))
                    {games.get(games.size()-1).name = current;}
               else if(qualifiedName.equals("publisher"))
                    {games.get(games.size()-1).publisher = current;}
               etc...
               else
                    {System.out.println("ERROR - Qualified Name found in xml that does not exist as databse field: " + qualifiedName);}
          catch (Exception e) {} //Ignore
     public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException
          current += new String(ch, start, length);
     }

Parse exisitng xml file and recreate another xml file with different struct

Is it possible in java using dom parser to parse an exisiting xml file and recreate a new xml file from data obtained by parsing old xml file.
I checked on old forum threads and everywhere either parsing xml file has been explained or creating new xml file from scratch has been shown.
Any examples/guidance will be appreciated....

The general process is:
Document dom1 = ... // the parsed document
Document dom2 = ... // new document constructed on the fly
Node nD1 = ... // some random node found in dom1
// copy the node from dom1 and associate with dom2
Node nD2 = dom2.importNode(nD1, true);
// ... treat nD2 as a node which can now be inserted into dom2 ...
Node otherD2 = ... // some other node already in dom2
otherD2.appendChild(nD2);Note, in this example the nD1 node is copied (including any sub-nodes) into a new node, nD2. You can alternately move the node from one Document to another using Document.adoptNode(), however this may fail (see the javadoc).

Parsing XML with VBS at a Windows Server 2008 R2

Validate xml with PL/SQL Parser

Hi,
i have an xml DTD into a VARCHAR2 variable and an xml document
into a CLOB, i'd like to know how to validate the xml with my
DTD using PL/SQL API for xml.
Sorry for my terrible english (i'm not english) :-)
Tank you.

Here's an example:
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
p xmlparser.parser;
d xmldom.DOMDocument;
dtd xmldom.DOMDocumentType;
v varchar2(32700);
good clob;
bad clob;
xml_parse_error exception;
pragma exception_init(xml_parse_error,-20100);
BEGIN
bad   := '<!DOCTYPE Department SYSTEM "test.dtd"><Deprtment/>';
good := '<!DOCTYPE Department
SYSTEM "test.dtd"><Department/>';
v := '<!ELEMENT Department EMPTY>';
p := xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.parseDTDBuffer(p,v,'Department');
xmlparser.setDoctype(p,xmlparser.getDoctype(p));
xmlparser.setValidationMode(p,TRUE);
xmlparser.parseClob(p,good);
xmlparser.parseClob(p,bad);
xmlparser.freeParser (p);
EXCEPTION
WHEN xml_parse_error THEN
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(sqlerrm);
     xmlparser.freeParser (p);
END;

Problem parsing XML with schema when extracted from a jar file

I am having a problem parsing XML with a schema, both of which are extracted from a jar file. I am using using ZipFile to get InputStream objects for the appropriate ZipEntry objects in the jar file. My XML is encrypted so I decrypt it to a temporary file. I am then attempting to parse the temporary file with the schema using DocumentBuilder.parse.
I get the following exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element '<root element name>'
This was all working OK before I jarred everything (i.e. when I was using standalone files, rather than InputStreams retrieved from a jar).
I have output the retrieved XML to a file and compared it with my original source and they are identical.
I am baffled because the nature of the exception suggests that the schema has been read and parsed correctly but the XML file is not parsing against the schema.
Any suggestions?
The code is as follows:
public void open(File input) throws IOException, CSLXMLException {
    InputStream schema = ZipFileHandler.getResourceAsStream("<jar file name>", "<schema resource name>");
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder builder = null;

I was originally using getSystemResource, which worked fine until I jarred the application. The problem appears to be that resources returned from a jar file cannot be used in the same way as resources returned directly from the file system. You have to use the ZipFile class (or its JarFile subclass) to locate the ZipEntry in the jar file and then use ZipFile.getInputStream(ZipEntry) to convert this to an InputStream. I have seen example code where an InputStream is used for the JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE attribute but, for some reason, this did not work with the InputStream returned by ZipFile.getInputStream. Like you, I have also seen examples that use a URL but they appear to be URL's that point to a file not URL's that point to an entry in a jar file.
Maybe there is another way around this but writing to a file works and I set use File.deleteOnExit() to ensure things are tidied afterwards.
