Parsing Special Charcters in XML File like & ,'

HI my xml is like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<contact-info>
<name>Jane Smith</name>
<company>AT & T</company>
<phone>(212) 555-4567</phone>
</contact-info>
how can i parse it as the & symbol is there in AT & T text .
Need some Java code to replace all kind of special characters

So the parser is giving you a message saying that the XML is not well-formed? Then you should contact the person who gave you that XML document. Tell them that is isn't well-formed (and that they should escape ampersands correctly).
It's not your responsibility to parse any old garbage that somebody sends you. It's their responsibility to send you well-formed XML.

Hi!
I found a sort of solution to my problem. I don't think it is the best, but it works!
Where you write to file you add this line (look for the arrow).
(I use the javax.xml.transform package)
Source xmlSource = new DOMSource(document);
Result result = new StreamResult(
new FileOutputStream(path+file));
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, "dtdfilename.dtd"); <-- This one does the trick!!!
transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);

Parser dimension ACCOUNT's xml file error.

Hi friends,
i manully uploading master data in ACCOUNT dimension.
what i did here, i manually added PARENTH1hierarchy and i changed that column position infront of "ACCTYPE" property. While pasting i might paste on ACCTYPE property & processed ACCOUNT dim.So it gone and disturbed underlying XML file. I checked 3 files XLS,XLT and XML files in UJFS. But XLS & XLT doesn't have ACCTYPE property. So how can i put it back? Any suggestions pls.
Eventhough ACCTYPE dim property defined and existed(under maintain dim property of ACCOUNT dim). when i try to check maintain members data for manually entering data, it not available in columns. when i try to process ACCOUT dim, system saying below error message.
Parser dimension ACCOUNT's xml file error.
How to correct this error.?
Thanks,

Hi,
It will be better to delete the XML file from UJFS and process your dimension once again. However, it might happen that you are still unable to edit the membersheet. In that case, it will be advisable to take a backup of the member sheet and recreate the same member sheet once again.
Hope this helps.

HO w to use SAX parser to create an XML file on the fly

Hi All,
Currently I am using the DOM parser to create an XML file from a text file. But as the DOM takes much memory and inefficient, I need to convert the DOM translator to SAX translator. Can I do that ?? If YES then how to go about that and if NO then what may be the workaround for that.
Please help me out
Thanx in advance
kaushik

Incidentally, look at this thread:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=34&thread=252415
It has an example of how to transform an XML file via XSLT. If you change this to use the zero-argument form of newTransformer, it will apply the "identity transformation" to your input, thus outputting your XML in valid form. Now you just need to figure out how to provide SAX input to this, and the JAXP download includes an example of that.

SQL*Loader problem - not efficient, parsing error for big xml files

Hi Experts,
First of all, I would like to store xml files in object relation way. Therefore I created a schema and a table for it (see above).
I wants to propagate it (by using generated xml files), hence I created a control file for sql loader (see above).
I have two problems for it.
1, It takes a lot of time. It means I can upload a ~80MB file in 2 hours and a half.
2, At bigger files, I got the following error messages (OCI-31011: XML parsing failed OCI-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00243: element attribute value must be enclosed in quotes). It is quite interesting because my xml file is generated and I could generated and uploaded the first and second half of the file.
Can you help me to solve these problems?
Thanks,
Adam

Approach to parse large number of XML files into the relational table.

We are exploring the option of XML DB for processing a large number of files coming same day.
The objective is to parse the XML file and store in multiple relational tables. Once in relational table we do not care about the XML file.
The file can not be stored on the file server and need to be stored in a table before parsing due to security issues. A third party system will send the file and will store it in the XML DB.
File size can be between 1MB to 50MB and high performance is very much expected other wise the solution will be tossed.
Although we do not have XSD, the XML file is well structured. We are on 11g Release 2.
Based on the reading this is what my approach.
1. CREATE TABLE XML_DATA
(xml_col XMLTYPE)
XMLTYPE xml_col STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML;
2. Third party will store the data in XML_DATA table.
3. Create XMLINDEX on the unique XML element
4. Create views on XMLTYPE
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW V_XML_DATA(
Stype,
Mtype,
MNAME,
OIDT
AS
SELECT x."Stype",
x."Mtype",
x."Mname",
x."OIDT"
FROM data_table t,
XMLTABLE (
'/SectionMain'
PASSING t.data
COLUMNS Stype VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'Stype',
Mtype VARCHAR2 (3) PATH 'Mtype',
MNAME VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'MNAME',
OIDT VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID') x;
5. Bulk load the parse data in the staging table based on the index column.
Please comment on the above approach any suggestion that can improve the performance.

I was not aware of Virtual column but looks like we can use it and avoid creating views by just inserting directly into
the staging table using virtual column.
Suppose OID id is the unique identifier of each XML FILE and I created virtual column
CREATE TABLE po_Virtual OF XMLTYPE
XMLTYPE STORE AS BINARY XML
VIRTUAL COLUMNS
(OID_1 AS (XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('/SectionMain/OID'
PASSING OBJECT_VALUE RETURNING CONTENT)
AS VARCHAR2(30))));
1. My question is how then I will write this query by NOT USING COLMUN XML_COL
SELECT x."SECTIONTYPE",
x."MACHINETYPE",
x."MACHINENAME",
x."OIDT"
FROM po_Virtual t,
XMLTABLE (
'/SectionMain'
PASSING t.xml_col                          <--WHAT WILL PASSING HERE SINCE NO XML_COL
COLUMNS SectionType VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'SectionType',
MachineType VARCHAR2 (3) PATH 'MachineType',
MachineName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'MachineName',
OIDT VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID') x;
2. Insetead of creating the view then Can I do
insert into STAGING_table_yyy ( col1 ,col2,col3,col4,
SELECT x."SECTIONTYPE",
x."MACHINETYPE",
x."MACHINENAME",
x."OIDT"
FROM xml_data t,
XMLTABLE (
'/SectionMain'
PASSING t.xml_col                         <--WHAT WILL PASSING HERE SINCE NO XML_COL
COLUMNS SectionType VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'SectionType',
MachineType VARCHAR2 (3) PATH 'MachineType',
MachineName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'MachineName',
OIDT VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID') x
where oid_1 = '99dd48cf-fd1b-46cf-9983';<--VIRTUAL COLUMN
insert into STAGING_table_yyy ( col1 ,col2,col3
SELECT x."SectionOID",
x."EventName",
x."OIDT"
FROM xml_data t,
XMLTABLE (
'/SectionMain'
PASSING t.xml_col                         <--WHAT WILL PASSING HERE SINCE NO XML_COL
COLUMNS SectionOID PATH 'SectionOID',
EventName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'EventName',
OID VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID',
) x
where oid_1 = '99dd48cf-fd1b-46cf-9983';<--VIRTUAL COLUMN
Same insert for other tables usind the OID_1 virtual coulmn
3. Finaly Once done how can I delete the XML document from XML.
If I am using virtual column then I beleive it will be easy
DELETE table po_Virtual where oid_1 = '99dd48cf-fd1b-46cf-9983';
But in case we can not use the Virtual column how we can delete the data
Thanks in advance

When parsing a large size xml file , OutOfMemorry exception(attach code)

Dear all ,
I met a OutOfMemorry exception when I parse a xml file (20M) in my application(I extract data in xml file for building my application data), but I found that it take long time(for 2 more minutes) even just searching the xml file , because my application is viewed by web page , so it's too bad for waiting.
what I used is org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder(jdom1.0beta8-dev) , and my xml file structure is like :
<errors>
<item1>content</item1>
<item2>content</item2>
</errors>
and this is my source code of parsing xml file :

            SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
            // Strip formatting
            DataUnformatFilter format = new DataUnformatFilter();
            builder.setXMLFilter(format);
            long time_start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
            doc = builder.build(new File(filename));
            System.out.println("Build doc memory ="+(run.totalMemory()-

        // Search for this property by traversing down the XML heirarchy.
        Element element = doc.getRootElement();
        element = element.getChild(parent);
        if (element == null) {
            // This node doesn't match this part of the property name which
            // indicates this property doesn't exist so return empty array.
            return new String [] { };
        // We found matching property, return names of children.
        List children = element.getChildren();
        int childCount = children.size();
        String [] childrenNames = new String[childCount];
        for (int i=0; i<childCount; i++) {
            childrenNames[i] = ((Element)children.get(i)).getName();
        return childrenNames;
    }the test main class:
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.HashMap;
import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.input.*;
public class MyTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    long time_start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Map childs = new HashMap();
    System.out.println("Used memory before="+(run.totalMemory()-run.freeMemory())/1024 + "K");
    XMLProperties parser = new XMLProperties("D:\\projects\\edr\\jsp\\status-data\\edr-status-2003-09-01.xml");
    String[] child = parser.getChildrenProperties("errors");
    for(int i=0;i<child.length;i++) {

System.out.println("Used memory after="+(run.totalMemory()-run.freeMemory())/1024+"K");
System.out.println("Time used: "+(System.currentTimeMillis()-time_start)/1000+"s");
The result is : Used memory before=139K
Used memory while=56963K
Used memory after=51442K
child.length=27343
Time used: 146s
is that some way to solve this problem ?
Thanks for your help

I met a OutOfMemorry exception when I parse a xml
l file (20M) in my application(I extract data in xml
file for building my application data)...Rule of thumb for parsing XML: the memory you need is about 10 times the size of the XML file. So in your case you need 200 MB of free memory.
, but I found
that it take long time(for 2 more minutes) even just
searching the xml file , because my application is
viewed by web page...Then you need to redesign your application. Parsing 20 megabytes of XML for every request is -- as you can see -- impractical. Sorry I can't suggest how, since I have no idea what your application is.

Problems with parsing and display a XML-File

Hi,
I'm working on an applet to read a XML-file, display the content in a JTree, in order to modify and save it again. I found this tutorial: http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/dom/index.html
I took this example http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/dom/work/DomEcho02.java and modified it, to run it as an applet.
I changed the method main into:
public class EditorTest extends JApplet {
public void init(){
     DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     try {
          DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
          File file = new File("/path/inhalt.xml");
          document = builder.parse(file);

Is there anyone out there, who knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I found out, how it was going wrong.
When the applet started, it didn't start with the method init(), as it should do, it started with the constructor. Because there was no document the method childCount() throws a exception. After this, the method init() startet reading the file and started the constructor again, but the results were not shown.
After knowing this I decided to write the Applet again and now it's working fine.

Dom can't parse dtd reference in xml file

Hi all,
I am trying to parse a xml file (hibernate mapping file *.hbm.xml) using DOM. But itis getting timeout errorwhile parsing due to the external dtd reference in the xml file.
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN"
    "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd" >I understand that the program is trying to access the document and is not being able to do so. But I don't have any clue to solve this problem. I don't want to remove the reference from the xml file.
The following method is trying to parse the xml file:
public void parseXML(String file) {
        factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        System.out.println(file);
         try {
             builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
             document = builder.parse(file);
             Element docEle = document.getDocumentElement();
             NodeList n1 = docEle.getElementsByTagName("class");
            for(int i = 0; i < n1.getLength(); i++) {
                   Element e1 = (Element) n1.item(i);
                   String nm = e1.getAttribute("name");
                 System.out.println(nm);
        } catch(Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }Please help me on this....I am at no end....Please let me know if there is any method so that the parser will overlook this reference and will parse the xml file....or any other sort of solution....
Thanks in advance...

Unwanted / Special Characters in XML File Output

Hello Seniors,
I am downloading an XML File which has some code from include's. The XML file is well formatted and the output is fine when I downloaded programs. But this include is from user exits and the code has some commented lines in it also with a blank line in between. Now the problem is that I am getting a "VT" in the XML file which is an unwanted character where there is a blank line in the include "ZXRSAU01". Other than this include, all other includes are downloaded fine.
Here is the code from the include "ZXRSAU01":
     select single * from knvv where kunnr = l_s_icctrcst-kunnr
                                and vkorg = l_s_icctrcst-vkorg
                                and vtweg = l_s_icctrcst-vtweg
                                and spart = l_s_icctrcst-spart.
Here is the output in the XML File:
     select single * from knvv where kunnr = l_s_icctrcst-kunnr
                                and vkorg = l_s_icctrcst-vkorg VT
                                and vtweg = l_s_icctrcst-vtweg
                                and spart = l_s_icctrcst-spart.
Please give me a solutions for this. Each of your answers are very important and will addressed with the best deserved.
Thanks and regards,
Chaitanya.

Hello Madhan,
Firstly, Thank You for the reply. We cannot remove the space in that include because the system is not the original system. Please let me inform you that this is a 4.6C system. We have used CDATA to get the code as it is onto the XML file. I observed that, firstly, the character "#" has come into the internal table with the read report itself. In the debug I saw it to be "0B" in the binary format, but in the downloaded XML file output, it is displayed as "VT". Please let me know how to get rid of this special/unwanted character.
Thanks and regards,
Chaitanya.

Parsing Error is struts xml files org.xml.s

Hello ,
I am getting a peculiar error while starting the Tomcat , the struts xml files are not being parsed correctly (they used to be before) .I get a parse error when I shut/start the tomcat (at each deployment) and hence due to the error the application fails (I guess ...)
The errors I get on the log file while starting the tomcat are ...(only part of the error stack)
parsing error processing resource path /WEB-INF/struts-action.xml
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.
Servlet /ProteinBank threw load() exception
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Parsing error processing resource path /WEB-INF/struts-action.xml

Have you changed your struts-config or web.xml files?
Back it up, and try starting with a 'minimal' version of struts-config to see if it succeeds.

Does the parser work with large XML files?

Is there a restriction on the XML file size that can be loaded into the parser?
I am getting a out of memory exception reading in large XML file(10MB) using the commands
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
URL url = createURL(argv[0]);
parser.setErrorStream(System.err);
parser.setValidationMode(true);
parser.showWarnings(true);
parser.parse(url);

We have a number of test files that are that size and it works without a problem. However using the DOMParser does require significantly more memory than your doc size.
What is the memory configuration of the JVM that you are running with? Have you tried increasing it? Are you using our latest version 2.0.2.6?

Parsing Special Characters in XML

Hi,
I have an incoming XML snippet that has the special characters already escaped.
If the Title is something like kkkkk ?& [] ]]> XML comes back escaped for & and >
<title><kkkkk ? & [] ]]></title>
Now I would like parse this ESCAPED Title correctly that should result in
<![CDATA[kkkkk ?& [] ]]>]]>
BUT INSTEAD I just get
<![CDATA[>]]>
What is it that I am missing?
Thank you so much.
Meena

A CDATA section can not contain the string "]]>" because that string is used to identify the end of CDATA section. Try removing the additional "]]>" and try if it works good for the rest of the data within the CDATA section.
