Parsing XML with invalid URI for DTD

When parsing an XML file (with aelfred2) I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" gnu.xml.dom.ls.DomLSException: Absolute URL required with null context: CQCGWProtocol.DTD
at gnu.xml.dom.ls.DomLSParser.doParse(libgcj.so.7)

at gnu.xml.aelfred2.XmlParser.parseDocument(libgcj.so.7)
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.

Parsing XML with invalid Unicode Character

Hi,
I have developed an application which has an XML as Input. Sometimes the XML I receive has not valid Unicode Characters so I get an Exception as follows for each wrong character.
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: An invalid XML
character (Unicode: 0xa9) was found in the element content of the document. - Ex
ception
How Can I parse the Input XML for getting only valid characters? Thank you.

You are not receiving valid XML. Your parser will assume that the XML file is encoded using UTF-8, unless its header specifies otherwise. Contact the person who sent you the XML and get it fixed. (Often people produce XML containing accented letters from various European languages; in the case the correct encoding is often ISO-8859-1.)

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]

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.

Parsing XML with DTD residing in jar file

Hi,
I have problems using crimson parser for my program under JDK 1.4.0b2. It attempts to parse an xml file with SAX. The corresponding lies in a jar file in a different directory but reachable through the classpath. All I get is an exception.

I used Xerces before and it worked fine. I already searched the community for that problem. All hints I found assume that xml file and dtd are in the same directory. Setting the systemId of the input source doesn't fix the problem.
Is there anyone out there knowing what to do?
Thanks,
Thorsten

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:

Any ideas? Thanks !!!

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:

     private ArrayList<Game> games = new ArrayList<Game>();
     public void startDocument()

Report fails with " Invalid argument for database." error.

Hi All,
Several of my reports deployed on Crystal Reports Server 2008 server fails everyday with the following error.
Error in File ~tmp121c5dc747685036.rpt: Invalid argument for database.
The error is not consistent, if report A fails today, it is Report B the next day. When I reschedule the reports, they run just fine. They fail only when the daily schedules run at 2:00 AM in the morning. 100 + reports are run at this time and some of the reports that fail run many times with different parameters. Is this error due to scheduling reports many times or is it something else? Appreciate any help with this.
Thanks

XML with MTOM-Attachments for BW 7.X

Hi all,
My question is regarding loading XML with MTOM-Attachments into BW 7.X.
It is possible to load XML-Files with a push via a web service DataSource into BW 7.X. The new NetWeaver-Release 7.1 is capable of handling XML-Files with MTOM-attachments. What I do not understand is if and how the Web Service DataSource and the MTOM capabilities of NetWeaver work together.
Does the capability of NetWeaver 7.1 enable BW to handle MTOM? If it is possible to use MTOM with BW, do I need Usage Type PI to bring MTOM attachments into BW?
I have checked several links regarding MTOM, e.g.

Unfortunately I could not find an answer to my question there.

Parsing XML with Java - seeking advice for method to pursue

Hi guys
So here's the deal: I want to parse some XML from a server, get all the data I need from it, then shunt that data to the classes that need it. However, I'm really not sure what the best way of parsing the XML is.
I've just written a class for obtaining the file, and one for building a DOM from the XML file. But looking at org.w3c.dom in the Java API documentation (see HERE) I'll have to implement shedloads of interfaces to be able to take advantage of the DOM, and I don't even know a lot about it.
So am I best just writing a simple parser based on regular expressions to get the data I want? There's about 5 attributes in the XML file that I need to get - 5 for each instance of the containing element. So I don't think it'll be hard to do with regular expressions.. plus even if I did decide to implement all the DOM interfaces, the only way I'd know how to do half the stuff is with regular expressions anyway. I mean, how else would you do it? How else could you match up Nodes according to the Strings you're using for the elements, attributes etc?
I worry that a parser using regular expressions might be too slow... I'm building this as an applet to visually display information from the server. I have nothing to support those fears, I'm just not experienced enough to know whether speed would be a problem if I chose this route... I don't think it would, but really need confirmation of that suspicion being unfounded.
Any advice would be very, very welcome, as I'm tearing my hair out at the moment, unsure what to do.

Sorry, I don't know anything about applets.

Yes! I've done more than my fair share of XML processing with REs. It's not always easy. I often wish I could just use something XPath-like. But it's certainly easy to do and would probably mean that you'd have something up and running quicker than if you spent time investigating pure XML parsing approaches.

Parsing XML with VBS at a Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi
my name is Marius, and I have a little problem with my vbs script. I use this script to parse an xml File if there are errors inside. In my old environment Windows Server 2003 it would work fine.
Now I will run this script at a newer Server 2008 R2, and it is not working.

Hi JRV,
I have checked my script und I have get it running by wscript.
And I have an error with the funktion cdate:

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
IS
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/"';
/* Method 2 */ lv_namespace constant varchar2(1000) := 'xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/" xmlns=""';
/*Method 3 */ lv_namespace constant varchar2(1000) := 'xmlns="http://XX.com/provider/C/D/E/F/2010/"/xmlns=""';
BEGIN
l_parser := dbms_xmlparser.newParser;
BEGIN
dbms_xmlparser.parseClob(l_parser, l_clob);
END;
l_doc := dbms_xmlparser.getDocument(l_parser);
-- Free resources associated with the CLOB and Parser now they are no longer needed.
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('I am Here');
lv_rows_processed_cnt := lv_rows_inserted_cnt;
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;

Parsing xml with microsoft VM 1.1

Hi all,
I hav an applet, compiled with -target 1.1, which makes use of XML, so I've created an extra cab-file with all the javax.xml.parser classes and all the org.w3c.dom classes in it. This applet needs to run on Microsoft-based machines (Microsoft (R) VM for Java, 5.0 Release 5.0.0.3805), and when I read the xml-file it keeps throwing java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError on
Error loading class: javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException.
That class is definitely in the extra cab-file I provide, but apparently the appletloader still can't find it. I extracted those classes from
\j2sdk1.4.2_08\jre\lib\rt.jar.
Am I right in guessing that those classes should be compiled with target 1.1 as well? Or am I missing something else? If you want to see any code, let me know.
Thanks for any help on this one,
Stef
