Partial document/node retrieval with DOM

I have constructed a DOMDocument of an XML input:
- <email>
- <folder name="inbox" id="">
- <message id="54321">
<time_received>2003-07-16 09:30:05</time_received>
<sender>John St.</sender>
<to> "aaa"</to>
<to>"bbb"</to>
<importance>High</importance>
<subject>My subject</subject>
<body>THis is great</body>
</message>
- <message id="12345">
<time_received>2003-07-16 09:30:10</time_received>
<sender>Tim Rice</sender>
<to>"ccc"</to>
<to>"ddd"</to>
<subject>My subject 2</subject>
<body>THis is great 2</body>
</message>
</folder>
</email>
I created a getter method which retrieve value using the tag, like
get("to") returns "aaa", and another get("to") returns "bbb"
I use getElementByTagName(...) to do this, but the problem is that
another get("to") will return "ccc". As you can see for the XML file, this
is not good because the "ccc" is within next "message" tag.
I want to provide another method to let the user select within which "message"
the getter method is functional.
I seemed to me that I have to create some "partial" doc pointing to the sub-nodes.
but I don't know how to do it, anyone has some idea about this?
besides, XPath seems can deal with it , but I am not allow to use it...
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure I follow, but I would consider creating your own objects that represent messages, and iterate through your xml/dom with xpath to build your objects. then get rid of the dom document and work with your collection of "message" objects. I just use DOM as as part of an adapter to convert xml data into the applications object model - abstract out the xml/dom dependencies from your app logic.

How to append an xml string as a child node to a dom document

Hi
I have an xml represented as a String. Now I want to add this xml string as a child node to another DOM Document.
Do I have to first parse the xml String into a xml Document and then add the nodes to the existing Document. Is there a simpler way to do this. Any input is appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Read Node Attribute with XML DOM.

Hello, I have a XML File like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>
<Datenexport>
<Codeliste Nr="1">

<Decodierung_DE>Code noch festzulegen</Decodierung_DE>
<Decodierung_EN>Code to be defined</Decodierung_EN>
</Entry>
I read the File with DOM and it works fin.
This is a sample of my code:
begin
INDOMDOC := DBMS_XMLDOM.NEWDOMDOCUMENT(xml_doc.GETclobVAL());
l_nl := dbms_xslprocessor.selectNodes(dbms_xmldom.makeNode(indomdoc),'/Datenexport','xmlns:xiz="http://www.bvl.bund.de/Schema/2010/xiz"');
FOR cur IN 0 .. dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl) - 1
LOOP
l_n := dbms_xmldom.item(l_nl, cur);
l_nl2 := dbms_xmldom.getchildnodes(l_n);
lv_value := dbms_xmldom.getnodename(dbms_xmldom.getfirstchild(l_n));
          FOR cur2 IN 0 .. dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl2) - 1
          LOOP
          l_n2 := xmldom.ITEM(l_nl2, cur2);
          nodename_val := dbms_xmldom.getnodename(l_n2);
          dbms_output.put_line('NodenameAntrag: '||nodename_val);
          lv2_value := dbms_xmldom.getnodevalue(dbms_xmldom.getfirstchild(l_n2));
          dbms_output.put_line('NodeValue: '||lv2_value);
          IF nodename_val = 'Codeliste' THEN number_val := dbms_xmldom.????????????????;
Now, i need to read the number of the "Codeliste" (<Codeliste Nr="1">).
But i haven´t find the right function.
Could anbody help me?

XSLT with DOM/C++ Parser

Help,
Anyone familiar with xslprocess class with DOM Parser for C++? My application needs to transform the original XML document, and then parse the new document (parse elements in tree). The example in the XDK demo directory (XSLSample.cpp) stops short of this. This demo/sample code simply output the newly transformed to the standard output (screen). My attempt to parse the newly transformed XML has been unsuccessful. Most of my code is base direcly from the sample:
void
DbXMLLoad::transformXML( const string& filename)
xmlpar.xmlinit();
strcpy(xml_doc, (char*)filename.c_str());
xmlpar.xmlparse((oratext *), xml_doc, (oratext *) 0, flags);
xslpar.xmlinit();
strcpy(xsl_doc, "it2xxx.xsl");
xslpar.xmlparse((oratext *), xsl_doc, (oratext *) 0, flags);
respar.xmlparse((oratext *) result, (oratext *) 0, flags);
xslproc.xslprocess(&xmlpar, &xslpar, &respar, &result);
xslproc.printres(&respar.getDocumentElement(), 1);
// Parse the newly transformed XML document????
constructTree(result, 1);
(void) xmlpar.xmlterm();
(void) xslpar.xmlterm();
(void) respar.xmlterm();
void
DbXMLLoad::constructTree(Node *node, word level)
if (node) {
dumpTree(node, level);
if ((node->getType() !=DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE) && node->hasChildNodes()) {
nodes = node->getChildNodes();
n_nodes = node->numChildNodes();
for (i=0; i< n_nodes; i++)
constructTree(nodes->item(i), level + 1);
void
DbXMLLoad::dumpTree(Node *node, uword level)
switch (node->getType()) {
case ELEMENT_NODE: // start database processing
case TEXT_NODE: // continue database processing
default:
Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance

what is "respar"?What version of XDK do you use?

1) I am trying to get a specific value from the xml.
for example the <title> after <channel> but i want only this title not the others as well. I can all the titles but i cant get it right for returning only the first. What am i doing wrong?
2) i also want to parse the same values that are in the <item> for all 3 items but when i am using the
               if(node.getNodeName().equals("link")){
                 Node fc = node.getFirstChild();
                 System.out.println("the link: "+ fc.getNodeValue());}i get a nullPointerException because the first link is empty under the <title>. If i change it to <description> it works fine.
The fact is that i dont know how to point it to look a specific tags like only in <item>
I have some comments in there of the different things i tried...
Any suggestions??? Pleaseeeee.... :)
Thx in advance...

thx for the replay
1) i thought of using xpath but wanted to know how to do it over DOM
2) i mean that the 3 <item> have other element inside like that:

<date />
</item>and all of them have <title>, <link> etc. I want to get the same values(eg. <title>) from all the 3 <item> and not including the <title> in the begining of xml
3) i am a professional child.....joke....
try to get to your sensitive side...thats way.

Modify hbm file with DOM

I modified hbm mapping using DOM, I read and save data in hbm, when read
file mapping, that nodes in my Document xml is with default attributes which tags contained, example:
Tag hibernate-mapping was saved attributes as default-lazy="true|false"
auto-import="true|false" as soon as.
I use DTDResolverEntity that is in hibernate package as DOM entity resolver.
What�s happen when I save new hbm modified?

<KG NAME="Exception Handling">
    <K> NAME="Error resisten" MAX="2" </K>
    <K> NAME="Using Finally clause" MAX="5" </K>
</KG>You seem to be confused about what an attribute is, or perhaps about how empty elements--those with no text and no child elements--are formed.
KG has the attribute NAME, and two child elements, both K.
The Child elements K have no attributes and no child elements. Merely text.
If you can't change that XML, then you'll have to do getText or whatever to get N="Err" Max="2" as a String, and then split() or StringTokenizer that String.
However, I'd advise changing the XML. (I've abbreviated some of the names in the example becaues I'm lazy. You can of course keep the names you have.) <KG NAME="Exception Handling">

Child text node lost with newDomNode()

Hello,
I have a simple custom XMLBean compiled from a schema like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

     <simpleType name="MyType">
          <restriction base="double"/>
     </simpleType>
     <element name="MyElement" type="tns:MyType"/>
</schema>
An the Java code:
import com.mydomain.xsd.myBean.*;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
void myMethod() {
MyElementDocument bean = MyElementDocument.Factory.newInstance();
bean.setMyElement(3.14d);
// this prints the the xml with text including 3.14d
System.out.println(bean.xmlText());
Element dom = ((Document) bean.newDomNode()) .getDocumentElement();
The problem is, after getting the DOM object my calling newDomNode(), the Text
Node for "3.14d" is lost from the DOM tree; i.e. instead of
<tns:MyElement xmlns:tns="http://mydomain.com/xsd/myBean">3.14d</tns:MyElement>
I get XML like:
<tns:MyElement xmlns:tns="http://mydomain.com/xsd/myBean" />
Question: how come the DOM tree is not complete?
Any help is very much appreciated.

I fixed the error by upgrading xbean.jar to the one bundled with WebLogic Servcer
8.1 SP2 (I originally had the version from WLS 8.1 SP1).

To convert XML to ABAP internal table can we do it with DOM or we need XSLT

I have a requirement where I need to collect the data from XML file into an internal table.
I need to collect this data into an internal table as I should make use of this data and do Goods Receipt in SAP.
My XML file is very very complex and the child nodes in my XML file may occur ones or 10 times and change dynamically.
I want to know if XML to ABAP internal table is possible with DOM or does it need XSLT too.
I used the blog of Robert which uses DOM, but it I am unable to collect the data in internal table. The blog explains only how to wtite the out put to screen as element and value.
I want to know if XML to ABAP internal table is possible with DOM or do I need XSLT too? I am confused please help.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hello Jessica
Why not using the DOM itself for processing?
Below you see the post-processing coding which I use to add the interchange control number (ICN) into an EDI message (which at this stage is still an XML-EDI stream). This is done on SAP-XI yet on the ABAP stack so you could use this approach on your R/3 system as well.

In your case you would need to do a DO...ENDDO loop until you parsed all required nodes.

Document in org.w3c.dom.*??

Is Document in org.w3c.dom.* a file?what is its extension?
How can i write a file with it?

org.w3c.dom.Document is a class that represents an XML document.
It does not represent an XML stream as mlk says.
It doesn't have anything to do with files. You can use an XML parser to build up a Document in memory from an XML file or any other data source that produces XML. Class org.w3c.dom.Document does not have any methods by itself that you can use to write to an XML file.
XML files usually have the extension ".xml", but they can also have other extensions.
See this: Working with XML: The Java/XML Tutorial

Hi Rasmus,
Quite probable your XSL is broken.
> tried to remove all the elements again
So two possibilities:
(a) You tried to - but failed
(b) You are the victim of a cache
Wait for at most 30 minutes and/or recheck your changes.
Hope it helps

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Covert org.jdom.Document to org.w3c.dom.Document

Hello,
How would I convert org.jdom.Document to org.w3c.dom.Document??
I'm creating org.jdom.Document from the servlet that reads from the database, which gets output like following.
// doc is org.jdom.Document
Document doc = new Document( root );
reportName = new Element( "REPORT_NAME" );
root.addContent( reportName );
reportName.setText( "Current Account Balance" );
// skip...
XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter(" ", true, "UTF-8");
outputter.output(doc, out);
And in my caller servlet, I read from the previous servlet using URL and parse it, trying to get Document, but it
InputSource xmlSource = new InputSource( url.openStream());
//Use a DOM Parser (org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser)
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse( xmlSource );
Document doc = parser.getDocument();
// and I do transformation.
DOMSource inXML = new DOMSource( doc );
StreamResult outXML = new StreamResult( out );
transformer.transform( inXML, outXML )
I'd like to skip passing around XML and share the same Document object so that I don't have parse it again...
Help!

Using XPath to create Document node

Hi, could anyone suggest how to create Document nodes using xpaths with the help of some api (dom4j, JAXP, etc)?
For example:
With xpath="//A/B", I need to produce:
<A>
<B>.. </B>
</A>
XPath is usually used for querying XML document, but now I need to do the reverse.
Thanks.

DrClap, thanks for your reply.
Yes, the topic title is a bit misleading. I shouldn't call it "Document" node.
"And you have an XPath expression of a very restricted form which is supposed to describe the structure of that document."
Not really, what I have is a bunch of xpath expressions, each of them describe a element in a xml.
With these xpath expressions, in the end of the day I need to create a xml document with these elements.
For example, if I have
//A/B
//A/C
//A/D
I need to create a xml like this:
<A>
<B> ...</B>
<C>....</C>
<D>.....</D>
</A>
While I could do this in a manual way (creating each element from the root and adding children one by one....), I'm sure dom4j (or other packages) can do this but I couldn't find how.
