Parsing the large XML ( 1GB) using SAX PARSER
We have very large XMLs being generated by processes. These XMLs should be validated first and then parsed next. We have implementation that works for small files. My question is
how can we validate and parse large XMLs with SAX parser?
The same way as parsing a small XML file, no? Why don't you try it? Then if you have problems that you can't solve, ask about them here.

Buiding xml file using SAX parser of JAXP
Please send me xml building using the sax parser.This is the urgent requirement ,iam not geeting how to solve this problem.so please anybody can help with one best example
You don't build an XML file with a parser. A parser reads an XML file and converts it to some internal representation. Try reading this tutorial:

SAX: How to create new XML file using SAX parser
Hi,
Please anybody help me to create a XML file using the Packages in the 5.0 pack of java. I have successfully created it reading the tag names and values from database using DOM but can i do this using SAX.
I am successful to read XML using SAX, now i want to create new XML file for some tags and its values using SAX.
How can i do this ?
Sachin KulkarniSAX is a parser, not a generator.Well,
you can use it to create an XML file too. And it will take care of proper encoding, thus being much superior to a normal textwriter:
See the following code snippet (out is a OutputStream):
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(pw);
SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
// SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");//
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"pdfBookmarks.xsd");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"http://schema.inplus.de/pdf/1.0");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
hd.setResult(streamResult);
hd.startDocument();
//Get a processing instruction
hd.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet","type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mystyle.xsl\"");
AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
atts.addAttribute("", "", "someattribute", "CDATA", "test");
atts.addAttribute("", "", "moreattributes", "CDATA", "test2");
hd.startElement("", "", "MyTag", atts);
String curTitle = "Something inside a tag";
hd.characters(curTitle.toCharArray(), 0, curTitle.length());
hd.endElement("", "", "MyTag");
hd.endDocument();
You are responsible for proper nesting. SAX takes care of encoding.

else if (elemName.equals("Heat")) {
else if (elemName.equals("IndexREDId")){
} else if (elemName.equals("Maturity")) {
like above I am doing hard code Elements names and reading the values so i don't want hard coding the elements names I want to read any element name and value dynamically.
If i give any one below XML file i want to read the Elements and displaying to console without changing any code i want to read the XML document.
EX:
Student.XML: <root>..</StName>..</StAge>...</root>
Employee.XML: <root>..</EmpName>..</EmpAge>...</root>
CdCatalog.XML: <root>..</Cdtitle>...</CdNumber>...</root>
I need one java program can ready any type of XML file elements and send to the Database table.
Please any one done like this task please suggest some reference links or books or sample snippet which can help me to develop program in my requirement.
Thanks in advance

How to Create XML file with SAX parser instead of DOM parser
HI ALL,
I am in need of creating an XML file by SAX parser ONLY. As far as my knowledge goes, we can use DOM for such purpose(by using createElement, creatAttribute ...). Can anyone tell me, is there any way to create an XML file using SAX Parser only. I mean, I just want to know whether SAX provides any sort of api for Creatign an element, attribute etc. I know that SAX is for event based parsing. But my requirement is to create an XML file from using only SAX parser.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanx in advance
KaushikHi,
You must write a XMLWriter class yourself, and that Class extends DefaultHandle ....., the overwrite the startElement(url, localName, qName, attributeList), startDocument(), endElement().....and so on.
in startElement write your own logic about how to create a new element and how to create a Attribute list
in startDocument write your own logic about how to build a document and encodeType, dtd....
By using:
XMLWriter out = new XMLWriter()
out.startDocument();
Attribute attr1 = new Atribute();
attr1.add("name", "value");
out.startElement("","","Element1", attr1);
Attribute attr2 = new Atribute();
attr2.add("name", "value");
out.startElement("","","Element2", attr2);
out.endElement("","","Element2");
out.endElement("","","Element1");
out.endDocument(); -

Problem in parsing an XML using SAX parser
Hai All,
I have got a problem in parsing an XML using SAX parser.
I have an XML (sample below) which need to be parsed
<line-items>
<item num="1">
<part-number>PN1234</part-number>
<quantity uom="ea">10</quantity>
<lpn>LPN1060</lpn>
<reference num="1">Line ref 1</reference>
<reference num="2">Line ref 2</reference>
<reference num="3">Line ref 3</reference>
</item>
<item num="2">
<part-number>PN1527</part-number>
<quantity uom="lbs">5</quantity>
<lpn>LPN2152</lpn>
<reference num="1">Line ref 1</reference>
<reference num="2">Line ref 2</reference>
<reference num="3">Line ref 3</reference>
</item>
<item num="n">
</item>
</line-items>
There can be any number of items( 1 to n). I need to parse these
item values using SAX parser and invoke a stored procedure for
each item with its
values(partnumber,qty,lpn,refnum1,refnum2,refnum3).
Suppose if there are 100 items, i need to invoke the stored
procedure sp1() 100 times for each item.
I need to invoke the stored procedure in endDocument() method of
SAX event handler and not in endelement() method.
What is the best way to store those values and invoke the stored
procedure in enddocument() method.
Any help would br greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Pooja.VO or ValueObject is a trendy new name for Beans.
So just create an item class with variables for each of the sub elements.

<lpn>LPN1060</lpn>

<reference num="3">Line ref 3</reference>
</item>
public class ItemVO
String partNumber;
int quantity;
String quantityType;
String lpn;
List references = new ArrayList();
* @return Returns the lpn.
public String getLpn()
return this.lpn;
* @param lpn The lpn to set.
public void setLpn(String lpn)
this.lpn = lpn;
* @return Returns the partNumber.
public String getPartNumber()
return this.partNumber;
* @param partNumber The partNumber to set.
public void setPartNumber(String partNumber)
this.partNumber = partNumber;
* @return Returns the quantity.
public int getQuantity()
return this.quantity;

public void setQuantity(int quantity)
this.quantity = quantity;

ThanksBy the way, there is a new feature in Java 5.0 (Tiger) called "Annotations."
Since your code extneds DefaultHandler, you could specify a line with
@Override
before the definition of each of your methods. If you had used these, the compiler would have given an error since your methods did not override the methods of DefaultHandler.
(If your code implemented ContentHandler, by contrast, using @Override is invalid because you need to implement all of the methods defined in the interface definition.)
The other comment is that the safest way to handle characters() data is to use a StringBuilder/Buffer (StringBuilder is only valid in 5.0, StringBuffer has been around since Release 1.0) that you define in the startElement method. Use the append method to gather data presented to you in the characters() method and use toString() to harvest the data in the endElement method.

Hai All,
I have got a problem in using SAX parser.
My XML looks like this:
<authorizer>
<first-name>HP</first-name>
<last-name>Services</last-name>
<phone>800-22-1984</phone>
</authorizer>
<destination>
<first-name>John</first-name>
<last-name>Doe</last-name>
<company>John Doe Enterprises, Inc.</company>
<department>Manufacturing</department>
<phone>800-555-1234</phone>
<address>
<street-one>1654 Peachtree Str</street-one>
<street-two>Suite Y</street-two>
<city>Atlanta</city>
<province>GA</province>
<country>US</country>
<postal-code>30326</postal-code>
</address>
</destination>
my part of SAX parser code is:
public void startElement (String name, AttributeList attrs)
throws SAXException
accumulator.setLength(0);
public void characters (char buf [], int offset, int len)
throws SAXException
accumulator.append(buf, offset, len);
public void endElement (String name)
throws SAXException
if (name.equals("first-name") )
firstname=accumulator.toString().trim();
if (name.equals("last-name"))
lastname=accumulator.toString().trim();
My problem is that i have to store the values of first-name and last-name.
but i have that in both
<authorizer> </authorizer> Tag and
<destination> </destination>
I need to retrive authorizer's firstname,lastname and
destination's firstname and lastname.
what i mean is i need to store authorizerFirstName,authorizerLastName
destinationFirstname and destinationLastname.
Pls let me know how to do that.
Thanks in advance.
Pooja.hi pooja,
I think you are using DataHandler for parsing. Its deprecated. try using contentHandler . You can get the value of the element at the beginning. say for example
<firstname>sdfs</firstname>
the startElement will be firstname
the next method that it invokes will be characters method which has the text associated with the element. I am sending a sample code for your problem. try using it .
boolean m_boolinAuth = false;
boolean m_boolinDest = false;
boolean m_bAuthFName = false;
boolean m_bAuthLName = false;
public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String elementName, String qName, Attributes atts)
//does the logic for startElement
if(qName.equals("Authorization"))
m_boolinAuth = true;
m_boolinDest = false;
else if(qName.equals("Destination"))
m_boolinDest = true;
m_boolinAuth = false;
if(qName.equals("firstname"))
m_bFirstName = true;
if(qName.equals("lastname"))
m_bLastName = true;
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
//does the logic for characters.
String str = new String(ch,start,length);
if(m_bFirstName)
if(m_boolinAuth)
m_strAuthFirstName =str;
else if(m_boolinDest)
m_strDestFirstName = str;
m_bFirstName = false;
if(m_bLastName)
//same as first name case;

Please help me how to use SAX parser in J2ME.
Is there any function to find the value of a particular element from a XML file?
I am able to get Element name, Values, Attributes. But control is not in my hand, DefaultHanldler automatically invokes Character method, then only I am able to get values. But I don't know when this method gets invoked.
Is there any way or method so that I can get value of any element or attribute just by passing element name as parameter in SAX parser?
Is there any other parser through which I can perform this task in J2ME?
Thanks in advance.Hi..
have a look at this.

How to retain prolog in output xml after parse the input xml
Hi,
I am using com.bea.xml.XmlObject.Factory.parse(String) method to parse a xml.
Input XML is having prolog defore the root node.But after parse the xml using the above method, the prolog is not there in the Output XML.
can any one help me to retain the prolog in Output XML as it is in Input XML......
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
DebaHi,
The Input XML is like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Updating XML file using DOM parser
Hi,
Can someone help me, how to update following XML file using DOM parser.
The following is my XML file.
<students>
<student>
<id>1</id>
<name>abc</name>
</student>
<student>
<id>2</id>
<name>xyz</name>
</student>
<student>
<id>3</id>
<name/>
</student>
<student>
<id>4</id>
<name>ijk</name>
</student>
<student>
<id>5</id>
<name></name>
</student>
</students>Consider, I will input 2 fields, ie., id & name. For the matching Id, the name has to be updated.
Though, I have achieved this, but I am unable to update the value for 3rd record, & 5th record ie., id=3 & id=5. Since, these are blank.
Thanks.Some <name> elements have a child node which is a text node. From what you say it appears you know how to change those text nodes.
The other <name> elements don't have any child nodes. But you want one. This suggests to me that you need code that creates a text node and adds it to the <name> element as its child. -
Cannot close an XML file used for parsing
Hi All,
I appears to have difficulty closing (possibly flushing it first) an XML file that was subsequently being parsed without success. The error generated is:
org.jdom.input.JDOMParseException: Error on line 23: The element type "form" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</form>".
Below is the code snippets of readData() to retrieve (HTML) data from a website, save it to a file, then convert to XML format before returning the new filename:
public String readData() {
try {
URL url = new URL("http://www.abc.com");
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
InputStream isInHtml = url.openStream(); // throws an IOException
disInHtml = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(isInHtml));
System.out.flush();
FileOutputStream fosOutHtml = null;
fosOutHtml = new FileOutputStream("C:\\Temp\\ABC.html");
int oneChar, count=0;
while ((oneChar=disInHtml.read()) != -1)
fosOutHtml.write(oneChar);
isInHtml.close();
disInHtml.close();
fosOutHtml.flush(); // optional
fosOutHtml.close();
try {
File fileInHtml = new File("C:\\Temp\\ABC.html");
FileReader frInHtml = new FileReader(fileInHtml);
BufferedReader brInHtml = new BufferedReader(frInHtml);
String string = "";
while (brInHtml.ready())
string += brInHtml.readLine() + "\n";
fwOutXml = new FileWriter("C:\\Temp\\ABC.xml");
pwOutXml = new PrintWriter(fwOutXml);
light_html2xml html2xml = new light_html2xml();
pwOutXml.print(html2xml.Html2Xml(string));
system.out.flush() // optional
fwOutXml.flush(); // optional
fwOutXml.close();
pwOutXml.flush(); // optional
pwOutXml.close();
return fileInHtml.getAbsolutePath();
// parseData reads the XML file using the name returned by readData()
public void parseData(String XMLFilename)
try
FileReader frInXml = new FileReader(FileName);
BufferedReader brInXml = new BufferedReader(frInXml);
SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"); // JDOMParseException generated.
}These codes would worked when they were in a single method but I have since placed some structure around them using a number methods.
This issue has risen in th past where I have been able to close the XML file prior to reading them again. However, I don't have a solution for it this time round.
I am running JDK 1.6.0_10, Netbeans 6.1, JDOM 1.1 on Windows XP platform.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
JackHi Alain,
I have added the additional I/O statements in the finally clause as follows but the problem still persisted:
readData()

What I find it interesting is that it is possible to parse the above XML file with the same parseData() from another class without any problem. As a result, I have come to the following conclusion so far:
( i ) There is some file locking that is prevent saxBuilder from parsing the XML file at the time.
( ii ) The light_html2xml does not appears to have correctly converted over the orginal Html to Xml but some how it has been picked up by the parser in the same class, but not by the same parser from another class.
( iii ) I would like to use another conversion tool such as Tagsoup in place of light_html2xml to determine where the cause of this issue is coming from. As a result, would you or anyone be able to assist me coming up with a few lines of conversion statements using Tagsoup since I am not familiar with using this tool?
( iv ) light_html2xml is good as it strip out all namespace, DTD, Entity Resolver, etc and only return what I need. JTidy does correct conversion but include namespace, DTD, Entity Resolver which makes parsing difficulty.
Many thanks again,

How can I parse the document in WebI using sdk?
I wanna to parse the document in WebIntelligence using sdk. My question is :
1) By which sdk, I can parse the document. 'Report Application Server SDK' ?
2) I wanna to parse the 'Self-Defined SQL' and 'Query' components of the document. Can the sdk support this request ?
My enviroment is BO XI Release 2.
Thanks all.Hi shao,
1) By which sdk, I can parse the document. 'Report Application Server SDK' ?
'Report Application Server SDK' is For Crystal reports so for WebIntelligence or DesktopIntelligence Report it is "Report Engine SDK".
Apart from this if you want to do more on these reports "BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK" can be used.
You can get more information on below link for XI R2.
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm
For question 2,
I am not sure about it but Report Engine SDK provides classes and interface of Data Providers.
i.e. Building and Editing Data Providers and Working with Recordsets.
Also you can have look on
Report Engine SDK's
Interface "Query"
Hope these helps you.
Thanks,
Praveen.
