Parsing XML using SDO API.

Hi
I am looking to see if JDeveloper comes with necesssary SDO APIs to help
a developer parse XML. I am looking at this as a replacement for JAXB.
I have access to JDev 11g and 10g.
If it is possible can you please tell me
1) What are the libraries to include?
2) Any tutorials available.
Thanks
Kartik

Hello Kartik,
Oracle TopLink will include an SDO 2.1 implementation as part of the AS 11R1 release. You can take a look at Technical Preview 2 here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/preview/index.html
There isn't much in the way of SDO documentation yet, but I can provide you with some samples if you wish.
First though, you mention that you are looking for a replacement for JAXB. I have represented Oracle on both the JAXB 2.0 and SDO 2.1/3.0 specifications so if you care to provide details on what you're building, maybe I can offer an opinion. If you don't wish to post to the list, you can email me at [email protected]
Oracles JAXB and SDO implementations are both build on top of TopLink's object-to-XML mapping technology. This may also be an appropriate technology choice for you.

Problem in parsing XML using DOM Parser.

Hi,
I am parsing an XML using DOM Parser.
When i try to get attributes of a node, i dont get in the order it is written. For Eg. This the node:
<Level0 label="News" link="/website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All" level="202" uid="COGN-4MNMT3" parentid="aaaa">
When i try to print the attribute values i should get in the order:
News, /website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All, 202, COGN-4MNMT3, aaaa
BUT I AM GETTING IN THE ORDER:
News, 202, /website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All, aaaa, COGN-4MNMT3
Is there any way to sort this problem out?
Thanks and Regards,
Ashok

Hi Guys,
Thanks a lot for your replies.
But i want to keep all the values as attributes only.
the XML file is as shown below:
<Menu>
<Level0 label="News" link="/website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All" level="202" uid="COGN-4MNMT3" parentid="aaaa" children="3">
     <Level1 label="ING News" link="" level="1" uid="COGN-4MNN89" parentid="COGN-4MNMT3" children="3" >
          <Level2 label="All ING News" link="/website/ing_news.nsf/ViewNewsForm?OpenForm&All" level="2" uid="INGD-4MVTK2" parentid="COGN-4MNN89" children="0">
          </Level2>
</Level1>
</Level0>
The code i was using to get attributes is:
String strElementName = new String(node.getNodeName());
     // System.out.println("strElementName:"+node.getNodeName());
NamedNodeMap attrs = node.getAttributes();
if (attrs != null) {
int iLength = attrs.getLength();
for (int i = 0; i < iLength; i++) {
String strAttributes = (String) attrs.item(i).getNodeName();
String strValues = (String) attrs.item(i).getNodeValue();
Also is it not possible to Enforce the order using some Schema/DTD in this case?
TIA
Ashok

How to parse XML using SAX Parser sequencially

I have a requirement to parse XML file sequencially. But I need to stop the parsing in-between for doing some processing.
Let me explain with example
I have a file with following structure.
<InputFile>
<Invoice>
     <InvoiceNo = "Inv1"/>
<InvoiceDt = "12012002"/>
</Invoice>
<Invoice>
     <InvoiceNo = "Inv2"/>
<InvoiceDt = "12012002"/>
</Invoice>
<Invoice>
     <InvoiceNo = "Inv3"/>
<InvoiceDt = "12012002"/>
</Invoice>
For each Invoice node I need to process some activites. So I need to write a method which will open the XML file and parse and returns me a complete element from <invoice> to </Invoice> sequencially.
Please let me know whther some body has solution for this.
Manoj.

If you're using a SAX parser then you can implement your code in the startElement(), endElement(), and characters() methods... have a look at the tutorial here:

Parsing xml using DOM parser in java

hi there!!!
i don have much idea about parsing xml.. i have an xml file which consists of details regarding indentation and spacing standards of C lang.. i need to read the file using DOM parser in java n store each of the attributes n elements in some data structure in java..
need help as soon as possible!!!

DOM is the easiest way to parse XML document, google for JDOM example it is very easy to implement.
you need to know what is attribute, what is text content and what is Value in XML then easily you can parse your document with dom (watch for space[text#] in your XML document when you parse it).
you get root node then nodelist of childs for root then go further inside, it is easy believe me.

Importing/Parsing XML using SQL and/or PL/SQL

What is the recomended way of importing/parsing XML data using SQL and/or PL/SQL?
I have an XSD that defines the structure of the file, and an XML file that has the content in the appropriate structure. I have parsed (checked) the structure of the XML file using JDOM in my java application, and then passed it to a function in a package on the database as a CLOB.
What I need to do is parse the contents of the XML file that is passed into the function and extract the values of each XML element so that I can then do some appropriate validation before inserting and committing the data to the database (hence completing the import function).
A DBA colleague of mine has been experimenting with various ways of acheiving this, but has encountered a number of problems along the way, one of which being that he thinks that it is not possible to parse XML elements that are nested more than four levels deep - is this the case?
The structure of the XSD/XML that the database function needs to manipulate and import data from is very complex (and recursive by it's nature).
I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I can achieve the above in the most efficient manner.
Thanks in advance for your help
David

This is the forum for the SQLDeveloper tool. You will get better answers in the SQL and PL/SQL forum, and especially the XML DB forum.
Oracle has comprehensive and varied support for XML, including a PL/SQL parser.

PDF to XML using saveAsXml.api ?

We have over 5K PDF documents that we need to parse information from. One way that has worked when doing it by hand is to use the Export as XML from an open PDF document. Is there a way to use the saveAsXML api from java or coldfusion or any other language? I have tried using the PDFbox jar file but it doesn't produce the same quality XML as saveAsXML. Any help would be appreciated.

Parse xml using httpuritype

Hi,
I am trying to extract an xml document from a URL which, when i use "httpuri.getContentType()", it is returning "text/html" instead of "text/xml". Therefore, i could not use getXML() method to parse it into xmltype for processing. What other way can i parse it into an xmltype? Thanks for the help
Regards
vivian

Are you sure that it is actually accessing the XML Document correctly. Can you check what httpuri.getclob() returns. If this is returning the document then you can do xmltype(httpuri.getClob()). If this is not returning the docuemnt then you probably need to configure http proxies correctly.

How to parse xml using DocumentBuilder ?

I am trying to parse this xml snippet:
<root>
<data a="0.0" b="1.0"/>
<data a="0.1" b="2.0"/>
<data a="0.2" b="3.0"/>
<data a="0.3" b="4.0"/>
<data a="0.4" b="5.0"/>
<data a="0.5" b="6.0"/>
</root>
using the following:
    String test = getDummyXmlSnippet()
    StringReader sr = new StringReader(test);
    input = new InputSource(sr);
    Document document = null;
    try {
      DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
      DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
      document = builder.parse(input);
      NodeList nodes = document.getChildNodes();
      // this only prints 1
      System.out.println(nodes.getLength());
      Node nn = nodes.item(0);
      // this prints this first root node name (root)
      System.out.println(nn.getNodeName());
      // Cannot get the remaning nodes....!
      NodeList nnt = nn.getChildNodes();
      Node n0 = nnt.item(0);
      System.out.println(n0.getNodeValue()); // just prints #text
      System.out.println(n0.getNodeName()); // just prints #text
      // THis prints 13
      System.out.println(nn.getChildNodes().getLength());
      // this will only iterate once!
      NodeList children = document.getChildNodes();
      for (int i=0;i<children.getLength();i++) {
        Node node = children.item(i);
        if (node.getNodeType()==Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
          System.out.println("bob = " + node.getNodeName());
    } catch(Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace();
    }I can only get the first root node printed. How do I get the child (data nodes) elements out?

What do you mean by the "first" root node? An XML document only has one root node, and your XML document is no exception.
As for the 13 child nodes of the root, you could have written a program which iterated over them and displayed them. That would have clarified your understanding of the document. But instead you wrote a program which just displayed the first of them, then iterated over the children of the document (which has the root as its only child) instead of iterating over the children of the root element.
You wouldn't be the first person to not realize that whitespace text nodes are nodes just like all the others. Or that the document and the root node are different things.

Parsing Xml using Jdom

Hi all,
I am reposting it as I was told to format the code and send it again.
I am trying to parse a xml file using a jdom java code.This code works fine if I remove xmlns attribute in the root element. (I get the expected result) .If the "xmlns" attribute is put in the xml as it should be then the parsing and retrieving returns null. Please tell me how to fix this issue.

See if the Text 'oldText' actually has any text within it. Sometimes in DOM parsing, you will get something like:
Element
   Text (blank)
   Text (actual)
   Text (blank)Whereas you would expect to receive:
Element
   Text (actual)See if that is the case. If yes, modify your logic to iterate through the child text nodes until one with actual text inside of it (getNodeValue()) is found.

The condition is like this
IF (requestedByUser = true and createdByUserType = '2') then
CREATEDBYUSERLOGINID := SYSTEM_USER;
ELSE
     Take CREATEDBYUSERLOGINID from XML value 'userLoginId'
where 'requestedByUser' is the input parameter to the stored procedure and 'createdByUserType' is the value from XML.
'userTypeId' is not required to be set in collection.
Now my question is how to put that condition when doing the XML parsing.

Add a projection for "userTypeId" in T4, then use a CASE statement in the SELECT clause :
SELECT DOC_ROWTYPE (
        t1.referenceNumber, t1.reqId, t2.accountId, t2.accountNumber, t3.accountId, t3.accountNumber,
                                        t4.userId,
        CASE WHEN requestedByUser = 'true' AND t4.userTypeId = 2
                  THEN system_user
             ELSE t4.userLoginId
        END

Problem in parsing XML using DOM

I am getting one XML file as string like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <DMSI-ACTIVITY-COMMENTS> </DMSI-ACTIVITY-COMMENTS>
Every time I want to add new node <ACTIVITY>
          <NAME></NAME>
          <ID></ID>
          <COMMENT></COMMENT>
     </ACTIVITY> whenever user make any change in my application.
I wrote code....
InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(file.getBytes());
Document doc = docBuilder.parse(inputStream);
Element activityNode = doc.createElement("ACTIVITY");
Element nameNode = doc.createElement("NAME");
activityNode.appendChild(nameNode);
Text nametextNode = doc.createTextNode(name);
nameNode.appendChild(nametextNode);
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
root.appendChild(activityNode);
String resultUDA = doc.toString();
Problem: Here I am getting value of resultUDA is [#document: null]. I need updated XML as String....
any one can give me suggestion or any other option to solve this issue...
thanks in advance...

I got it ....pls check on it

Parsing xml using the .text() function in as3

I am accessing an xml document in actionscript, I know flash can see the xml as I am tracing it but when I add the .text() funtion to my trace to strip out the tags by trace doesn't see anything.
this works...
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
ParseXML(xmlData);
function ParseXML(thexmlInput:XML):void {
trace("XML Output");
trace("------------------------");
trace(thexmlInput.wrapper.page);
this doesn't...
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
ParseXML(xmlData);
function ParseXML(thexmlInput:XML):void {
trace("XML Output");
trace("------------------------");
trace(thexmlInput.wrapper.page.text());

The text() function returns an XMLList object, not a string literal.
To trace out the return of XML.text() - you need to loop through the object.
var xmlText:XMLList = myXML.text();
for each (var i:String in xmlText){
trace(i);
Or you could use the toString() method instead.
trace(myXML.toString());
(The reason your first code works is because toString is automatically applied to trace statements, unless you specify something different)

Hot to parse XML using JDOM?

obviously my attribute name (which is also named as "name") is the same for all my five entries. How can I parse all of them?I can only parse the first entry.

this is my code:
     public static void readXML( )
          try
               SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder( false );
               Document doc = builder.build( new File(filenameConstant ) );
               Element root = doc.getRootElement();
               List listCase = root.getChildren("Case");
               Iterator iterateCase = listCase.iterator();
               while(iterateCase.hasNext())
                    Element attr = (Element) iterateCase.next();
                    System.out.println("" + attr.getChild("attr").getText() );
          catch( Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
This is my output:
1KEEJCE
2DC65T5
16ZUFEZ
2Y3XDR7
2Y3XDR7
Press any key to continue...
Obviously I can only get the first element (<attr name="name">1KEEJCE</attr>
) of each cases,how can I get the other four given that they have the same attribute name ( which is named "name" ).
