Preserving Timezone from Java to XML

Hi,
I am writing a web-service for date time functions.
In the response for my web-service, I will send a time (xsd:time) say 4 PM EST. But when the marshalling happens, the 16:00:00-05:00 is automatically converted to 21:00:00Z. (EST to GMT conversion happends automatically). But i dont want this to happen, the caller should see the timezone I am sending them.
The xml data type is xsd:time and the corresponding Java Object is java.util.Calendar.
Is there a way to do this.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

I suggest you ask on the java programming forum:

Convert java to xml -urgent

hi,
I'm currently doing a project which requires me to generate a svg scatterplot graph. I already got data stored in vector.(in a servlet).But heard from my supervisor that i need to convert my data to xml format.With this xml format, i can generate a svg graph.I'm totally new to xml n don't know how to convert from java to xml..Though i read up on articles, i still can't get the idea of it. My data isnt very big. for graph i need to generate a x-axis :green , y-axis:red... n then retrieve the data n plot the scatterplot graph... can somebody help me??? very urgent... thanks

One quick way is to construct the XML your self.
e.g.
StringBuffer xml = new StringBuffer("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>");
xml.append("<ROOT>");
while(has more elements) {
xml.append("<ELEMENT>").append(data).append("</ELEMENT>");
xml.append("</ROOT>");

Let me know which parser are you using currently for reading xml files so that i assist you. For now, you can refer to STAX Parser API under this link

Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

Hi,
I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
Some tools I have tried:
1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
3) Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
information. You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything. So what
grammar would you use? Something standard? Make up your own?
However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL). As
such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
the software in question.

How to edit the existing data in the XML file from java programming.

Hi all
i am able to create XML file with the sample data as below from java programming.
i need sample code on how to edit the existing data in the XML file?
for example
<?xml version="1.0"?>
   <mydata>
           <data1>
                     <key1>467</key1>

          </data2>
    </mydata>
i am able to insert the data in the XML.
now i need sample code on how to modify the data in the above XML file from the java programming for only key2,name2,id2 tags only. the remaining tags data in the XML file i want to keep same data except for key2,name2,id2 which are i want to modify from java code

hi
u need a parser or validate the xml file for to read the xml file from java coding u need for this
xml4j.jar u can download this file from here
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xml4j
or we can use the SAX(simple API for XML)
some sample applications for this

Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
bingo you have a flat file with the xml
2. Use data binding to do the trick
will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option

How to modify an existing xml file from java code.

Hi
I have worked on creating a new xml file from java code using xmlbeans.But if i try to modify an already existing file using java code I am unable to get errorfree xmlfile.
For example if xml file(studlist.xml) is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StudentList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\kchaitanya\xmlprac1\abc\Studlist.xsd">
     <Student>
          <Name>ram</Name>
          <Age>27</Age>
     </Student>
<Student>
          <Name>sham</Name>
          <Age>26</Age>
     </Student>
</StudentList>
Now suppose i have set name to victor using student.setName,
and set age to 20 using setAge from javacode,
the new xml file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StudentList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\kchaitanya\xmlprac1\abc\Studlist.xsd">
     <Student>
          <Name>ram</Name>
          <Age>27</Age>
     </Student>
<Student>
          <Name>sham</Name>
          <Age>26</Age>
     </Student>
</StudentList>
<Student>
          <Name>victor</Name>
          <Age>20</Age>
     </Student>
As observed this is not a valid xml file.But how can i modify without any errors?

I know it's an old post, but I found this while doing a google search for something else, and don't like to leave it un-aswered
Just in case anyone has a similar problem... In this case the new elements have been appended outside of the root element
What you need to do is first get the root element and then append the new children to that, there are several ways of getting the root element, which depend on what you want to do with the elements you get back here's a simple (incomplete) way.
// gets the root element of the specified file (code not shown)
Element rootElement= new SAXReader().read(file).getRootElement();Then just append the new elements as below (this is non-generic code and would need to be modified for your situation)
// write a new student element
Element student = document.createElement("Student"); // creates the new student
rootElement.appendChild(student); // ***appends it to the root element***
Element name = document.createElement("Name"); // creates the name element
name.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Fred")); // adds the name text to the name element
student.appendChild(name); // appends the name to the student
Element age= document.createElement("Age"); // creates the age element
age.appendChild(document.createTextNode("26")); // adds the age text to the age element
student.appendChild(age); // appends the name to the studentThen flush ya buffers or whatever and write the file

Moving from com.sun.xml classes to the new xml support integrated in java

So far, for our XML implementation, we have used the DocumentEx, ElementEx, etc. from com.sun.xml.
We understand that xml is now supported by the java itself (javax.xml.parsers?) and we wish to update our code to use the newer API.
Is there a simple mapping between the old DocumentEx and ElementEx and new classes in javax.xml? Can it really be simple to "get rid" of com.sun.xml?

The combination of the:
Oracle XML SQL Utility
and
Oracle XML Parser for PLSQL V2
give you what you need.

XML parsing regressing from Java 1.4 to 1.5

Hi,
I have a piece of code using Jakarta digester. This piece of code is prety simple and was working fine until I switched from java 1.4 to java 1.5. However, i didn't changed the Digester jar.
After investigation, I noticed that the problem disappear if i remove the DOCTYPE entry from the XML file I'm parsing.
Is there any known regression ?
Thanks =P

Just messing.....
If you're new to Java then don't bother. Otherwise try [url http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html]here for jakarta's API.
Honestly though, if you're not new to programming then fair enough. BUT, if you are new to Java and programming then acknowledge the fact you'll have to whack yourself alot before u get anywhere.

JAXB 1: is it possible to go from enum simulation in Java to XML Schema?

I know how to get an enum simulation in java from XML schema, but can it be done in the other direction, in the context of a web service implementation?
The thing is from schema to java a customization file is used. But there's no specification for such a customization file usability when going from java to schema. So far, i'm getting a string for enum wrapper.

Well, i got it to work in JAXB 1, w/o xfire, schema-to-java. Marshall and unmarshall.
But w/ xfire, it doesn't appear to be possible. Would probably require implementing it for them myself...
