Parsing XML with html tags for style

I'm using flash to pull in XML data, but I want to use html
tags to be able to style the text. When I add any html, it treats
it as a sub-node and ignores the data. Also, line breaks in the xml
are being converted to double spaced paragraphs? The relevant code
is basically this:
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "TEXT")
{//add text to text array
ar_text[s]=element.firstChild.nodeValue;
textbox1.text = ar_text[0];

try to use htmlText instead text... like this:
textbox1.htmlText = ar_text[0]

XML with HTML Tags... (easy points) 11g question

Dear Programming Gods,
I have been researching this for about 2 weeks now, and I have hit the final road block.
Using BI Publisher 11.1.1
In APEX 4.0 I have a Rich Text Field. The data from the Rich Text Field is store in CLOB. The data has HTML formatting tags. I have a data model that selects the data. I create an xml which has the html tags. I export the xml and import it into MS Word using the BI Publisher add-in. I import my subtemplate which handles almost all of the formatting tags. I apply the template to the CLOB field so that the HTML formatting tags will be rendered when printed.
The problem is this. The subtemplate is looking for this < and / > however BI publisher convters the tags stored in the CLOB from raw html tags to this &.lt; and &.gt; so the subtemplate can not match to it.
Here is what I need to figure out and please explain it in very novice terms.
When I generate and export the XML from BI Publisher how do I prevent it from converting my raw tags?
Here is some further assistance when prepairing your answer.
My subtemplate is based on the htmlmarkup.xsl from the following blog but has been modified heavily to include support for simple tables, more formatting such as subscripts and superscripts, ect...
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/01/formatting_html_with_templates.html
I am also familliar with this blog but I do not understand how to implement it using BI 11g.
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2009/08/raw_data.html
I have tried adding this to my layout but it doesnt seem to work.
<xsl: element name="R_CLOB" dataType="xdo:xml" value="R_CLOB" / >
Please, help me. I have to have this working in 4 days.
Richard

This did not work either. Here's more infor on what I have so far.
My data template looks like this:
<dataTemplate name="Data" description="Template">
 <parameters>
 <parameter name="p_person_id" dataType="character" defaultValue="1"/>
 </parameters>
 <dataQuery>
 <sqlStatement name="Q1">
 select TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.line_id as LABEL_line_ID,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.column_id as LABEL_column_ID,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.person_id as LABEL_PERSON_ID,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.label as LABEL_DATA
from MY_BIO.clm_TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA
Where person_id = :p_person_id
and style = 'L'
 </sqlStatement>

 <element name="Style" value="style"/>
 <element name="Attribute" value="attribute"/>
 <element name="Justify" value="justify"/>
 </group>
 </group>
 </dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
After running this data_template there was no change in the xml file generated see partial : Note:
my test actually has the B with the html tags

</G_DATA>
- <G_DATA>
<LINEID>21</LINEID>
I loaded in to MS Word but there was no change documnet still look the same. I left the commands import file command and xsl:apply-templates command in the word document template.
I really appreciate you helpiing me.

Parsing XML with invalid URI for DTD

When parsing an XML file (with aelfred2) I get the following error:

I'm puzzled, as I have disabled validation:
DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
domFactory.setIgnoringComments(true);
domFactory.setNamespaceAware(false);
domFactory.setValidating(false);
My goal is to have the parser ignore the DOCTYPE tag and not try to find the DTD. Can someone suggest how you turn this off - apparently, setting the validation to false is not the right approach.
I'm running Java 1.4.2 on Fidora Core 5.
Thanks for suggestions!

Create an org.xml.sax.EntityResolver and apply it to your parser. The API documentation for the interface has an example of how to write one.
And no, turning of validation doesn't turn off processing of DTDs because DTDs are for things other than validation. Entity replacement, for example.

Hello,
How about the following?
Change your XML document to:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<response>
<title> this is book on &lt;tags&gt; Order </title>
</response>
Running the following code:
String xmlstring = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><response><title> this is book on &lt;tags&gt; Order </title></response>";
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource inStream = new InputSource();
inStream.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(xmlstring));
Document doc1 = db.parse(inStream);
System.out.println(doc1.getDocumentElement().getFirstChild().getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
Will produce the following result:
this is book on <tags> Order

How to put String with html tags as it is into xml

I am using apache dom API to create xml from java.
I have a string with html tags in it .when I add the string to xml, its replacing all the "<"; with &lt and ">" with > I would like the html tags to look as it is instead of the > and & lt;. How can I acheive that
this is the code snippet of what I am doing
In java class
String titleString = "This Is an Example of a Red Subject"
Document doc = new DocumentImpl();
Element root = doc.createElement("bulletin");
Element item = doc.createElement("title");
item.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(titleString));
In Xml it looks like below
<title>This Is an Example of a Red Subject</title>
but I would like to have the xml like below
<title>This Is an Example of a Red Subject</title>
Can you please suggest me whats the best way to acheive this.
I appreciate all your help
Thank you
Suma

One problem is that you don't understand escaping. If you re-read what you posted you'll see that what you say you get, and what you say you want, are identical. That's because you didn't escape one of the two properly. So your first step should be to find the section about escaping in Chapter 1 of your XML book and read it carefully. Figure out what you should have done here (yes, the same rules apply).
However, to attempt to answer what I think your question is: if you have a String which contains markup, and you want to convert that String to XML elements, then you have to feed the String into an XML parser.

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;
 try {
 factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
 factory.setValidating(true);
 factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA);
 factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE, schema);
 builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
 builder.setErrorHandler(new CSLXMLParseHandler());
 } catch (Exception builderException) {
 throw new CSLXMLException("Error setting up SAX: " + builderException.toString());
 Document document = null;
 try {
 document = builder.parse(input);
 } catch (SAXException parseException) {
 throw new CSLXMLException(parseException.toString());
 }

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.

Text in internal table with HTML tags.

Hi ,
I have Text in internal table with HTML tags.
The text has to be shown in output of smartform as formatted text.
That is the smartform should READ the HTML TAGS , convert the text accordingly and show in the output as formatted text.
I dont want to make a webform . This is for NORMAL SPOOL output and NOT for WEB OUTPUT.
IN SHORT
:- the text in the internal table is like this ( please ignore the dot in the HTML TAG )--
<html><.U>this is heading</.U>Line with no break<.br>some content text</.br>
</html>
OUTPUT
this is headingLine with no break some content text
1) Can I can get the output and store it as text in a string variable and show in the smartform ?
In this case I want to know how to convert and store in a variable in sap .
OR
2) Can the text element convert the text with HTML TAGS to html formatted output and show it ?

Parsing errors with CDATA tags using oracle xml parser v2

I'm using the oracle.xml.parser.v2 parser to combine a
generated xml document from a database with a static
xsl file to produce html. Within the xml document, there
are fairly large CDATA sections (500 lines) which happen
to contain javaScript.
Occasionally, I'm getting xml tags in the final html
document! It seems that the oracle parser pukes
on a certain type of data within a CDATA tag, and then
replaces an angle bracket (<) of a tag with a #60. This
can cause html tags being viewed in the document. At
first, I thought the amount of JavaScript within the
CDATA tag was too large for the parser to handle,
because when I split it up into 2 or more parts the errors
went away. But, re-arranging the JavaScript (String in the CDATA tag)
can make the errors disappear. And, if I
use the Saxon parser to manually combine the xsl with
the xml, the output is fine. If anyone knows that this is
a confirmed bug by Oracle, or any other relevant info on
this, please let me know.

Hi,
Your lucky, i've just finished a project that used the oracle parser extensively.
I think the problem may stem from your xsl. Although your cdata tags may be well formed, in the xsl you might need to escape the text again, this may mean that the xsl needs to print a further cdata tag around the data. This is because the parser (well the version I was using) strips the cdata tags before the transformation happens.
This is the probably the cause of the nasty html output.

Recordset xml export WITH html tags

Hi there,
I am trying a rather simple thing (I hope) but cannot figure it out how to do it.
I created a dynamic xml (.php) file using the export recordset as xml behaviour. The generated xml works fine when I use spry to display it. The downside is that html tags are converted to something like this (I understand that these are the greater then and lesser then signs used in html):
fringilla
In the html document where I use spry to display this xml, the < etc are converted back to < and >, but the html is not rendered.
I tried cdata, but somehow cannot get this to work. I also cannot get dsSpecials.setColumnType("quote_tekst", "html"); to render the xml as correct html.
Can someone tell me how to do this? Database and xml are both utf-8.
Kind regards and big thanks in advance if you can help (it is really appreciated ;-D),
Ben

Sorry about that, don't know what happened in that last post..formatting I guess, here's the whole reply - xml enclosed w/ a pre - thanks again. Hi Günter, Thanks so much for the info. I have been diligently trying to use CDATA and read the generated XML, but still I'm not seeing the HTML text rendereed in my detail section. The XML is setup from my mySQL data as: <pre> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <CurrentSpecials> <special> <name> Caribbean Sun </name> <detail> <h1>special deal!!</h1>Join us!</h1> </detail> <expire> 2007-08-31 00:00:00 </expire> <rating> highest </rating> </special> ... </pre> and I want the detail to render in my div (or I'll add a table/textarea...) as the html indicates. I'm not having any luck w/ using CDATA for it - it's probably just me - I'm just starting out with this stuff. Any pointers in the right direction? I'm getting the detail as {dsList:detail} and somehow need to say - this is html. I've tried using javascript and php to render it. I could I guess just echo the detail on a mouseclick without a spry but didn't want to have to do all the implementation myself - I wanted to take advantage of dreamweaver's functionality! Thanks so much for looking at this - any help is so much appreciated!!

Inserting HTML tag for character style

I want to be able to use the <DEL> HTML tag around some text:
Regular Price <del>$395</del> Today $95
So, it should look like this:
Regular Price $395 Today $95
This works reliably in Dreamweaver (both preview and in various browsers). It also works on this forum page! But I can't get it to work in Muse.
Here is my test site:
http://musetest-dec152012.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
I followed the instructions here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4819276#4819276
This shows how to add a scroll box using HTML. That works on the test site. I then modified the contents to add <DEL> to the second word and it isn't shown. [I also added to the sixth word and it doesn't show either.]
I followed the instructions here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4399108#4399108
This shows how to use a character style. The style seems to work, but the style doesn't show up in the browser. Any rate, there is no way I can find to add my own tag and the <DEL> tag is not one of those in the pull down list.

Iain --
Muse overrides the default styling for the 'del' and 'ins' tags. If you want to use these tags in custom HTML, and have styling applied to them, you'll have to specify the styling you want with inline CSS, like so:
Regular Price <del style="text-decoration: line-through">$395</del> Today $95

Hi, Ranjan.
First of all, let's look at the meaning of the error.
> ...Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 2 according to
> structure 'GL_FileUpload_SAPECC_Header_DT1':java.lang.Exception:
> ERROR in configuration: more elements in file csv structure than
> field names specified!
It seems that XI interpreted 2nd line as
Header_DT1 not as Item_DT1 that you meant.
> GL,GLI,4011,3011,,,,,,AU,600,7000,8000,9000,5000,RK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
That's why it says this line has more elements than the structure
defined(Header_DT1)
And the reason why XI misinterpreted the above as Header is that
you used keyFieldValue with the same value.
> ...Header_DT1.keyFieldValue: GL
> ...Item_DT1.keyFieldValue: GL
According to the following help,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
it says like the following.
Key Field Name
If you specified a variable number of substructures for Recordset
Structure, in other words, at least one substructure has the value
*, then the substructures must be identified by the parser from
their content. This means that a key field must be set with different
constants for the substructures. In this case, you must specify a key
field and the field name must occur in all substructures.
How about using different constants for header and item if possible?
Good luck.

Define HTML Tag for Parser - Help?

Hi all,
I'm trying to write a program which downloads a HTML script, parses it, extracts the links and checks to see which of these links are broken. While the parser is picking up tags that are well-formed, such as:
Mark Humphrys -
Research -
The HTML script has a few malformed HTML tags such as the following:
<li> References 
<li> References 
The snippet of code I'm using to try and get these malformed tags is as follows:
 ParserCallback parserCallback = new ParserCallback()
 public void handleText(final char[] data, final int pos) { }
 Tag a = HTML.Tag("a");
 public void handleStartTag(Tag tag, MutableAttributeSet attribute, int pos)
 if (tag == a)
 String address = (String) attribute.getAttribute("href");
 list.add(address);
 System.out.println(address);
 public void handleEndTag(Tag t, final int pos) { }
 public void handleSimpleTag(Tag t, MutableAttributeSet a, final int pos) { }
 public void handleComment(final char[] data, final int pos) { }
 public void handleError(final java.lang.String errMsg, final int pos) { }
 };but I keep getting the error that they can't find the Tag() method. At the start of my code I have:
import javax.swing.text.html.HTML;
import javax.swing.text.html.HTML.Tag;so I don't understand why the compiler can't find the method. Is there something wrong with the way I'm using it?
I have very little experience with this area so any help or pointers would be great!

Sorry, the exact error message is:
cannot find symbol,
symbol: constructor Tag(java.lang.String)
location: class javax.swing.text.html.HTML.Tag
HTML.Tag a = new HTML.Tag("a");
^
it should of course be a constructor not a method but the compiler still can't seem to find it. The proper code (in as much as I can tell although it still isn't working)

XML parser to parse XML inside HTML file

Hi,
I wish to know is there any other parsers apart from JAXP to parse xml content present inside HTML file. For example,
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="j_id_jsp_1394907664_1" name="j_id_jsp_1394907664_1" method="post" action="/msaiphoneportal1.1c/pages/xmlchech.faces;jsessionid=5666F0E1CF0E44B978940F021012AA41" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<input type="hidden" name="j_id_jsp_1394907664_1" value="j_id_jsp_1394907664_1" />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hospital>
<Users>
<User id="1" password="x" type="staff" username="x"/>
<User id="2" password="y" type="staff" username="y"/>
<User id="3" password="z" type="staff" username="z"/>

</hospital>
<input type="hidden" name="j_id_jsp_1394907664_1:j_id_jsp_1394907664_2" /><input type="hidden" name="javax.faces.ViewState" id="javax.faces.ViewState" value="-4298162632826268059:-1507671971163298623" autocomplete="off" />

while reading, we can fetch the starting of XML through <?xml> tag, but how we know the ending of the XML as it seems to be dynamic.1) Extract the document root element which follows the <?xml ... ?>
2) From this root element , construct the associated root element terminal by inserting a / after the <.
3) Search for the terminal.
If the root name can also be the name of an enclosed element then you will have to count the number of terminals.
