Problem in Coverting XML String into Document

Hi,
I am getting some problem while parsing a String XML in to Document object.
CODE :
public static Document converDocument(String xml){
DocumentBuilderFactory factory=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = null;
try {
builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Document document = null;
try {
document = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml)));
System.out.println("Document is after parsing ====>>>"+document);
} catch (SAXException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
return document;
The xml which I am passing is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>abc</body>
</note>
It is giving the document as null;
Can anybody please help?
Regards,
sheeetal.

Remove the "=" sign, this code will work :
      CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')
      SOURCE XML lv_output_str
      RESULT ref = <fst_dyn_table> .

How to get an xml string into a Document w/o escaping mark-up characters?

Hi,
I am using one of the latest xerces using Java. I am pretty sure I am using xerces-2.
I have an existing Document and I am trying to add more content to it. The new content itself is xml string. I am trying to insert this xml string into the document using document.createTextNode. I am able to insert, but somewhere it is escaping the mark-up characters (<,>,etc). When I convert the document into String, I can see, for example, <userData> instead of <userData>.
There is an alternative option to accomplish this by creating a new document with this xml string, get the root element, import this element into my document. Execution time for this procedure is very high - means, this is very bad in terms of time-wise performance.
Can any help on how to accomplish this (bringing an xml string into a document without escaping mark-up characters) in time-efficient way.

So you want to treat the contents of the string as XML rather than as text? Then you have to parse it.
Or if your reason for asking is just that you don't like the look of escaped text, then use a CDATA section to contain the text.

A class to format an XML string into indented xml code

I am looking for a class or a piece of code to format an XML string into indented xml code
for example: an XML string as follows
<servlet><servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>servlet-class>ucs.merch.client.system.LoginServlet</servlet-class></servlet><servlet-mapping><servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
to format into :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ucs.merch.client.system.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
e-mail : [email protected]

Xerces has a class called OutputFormat
If you have your XML document in memory, you can format it using the method setIndenting(true) on the OutputFormat class. The following is an example:
assuming xmlDoc is our document and fileName is the name of the file we wish to write to:
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(xmlDoc);
// setup output file name
PrintWriter printwriter = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(fileName, false));
// construct an XMLSerializer for writing the document
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer( printwriter, format );
// Ensure output is indented correctly...
format.setIndenting(true);
// set serializer as a DOM Serializer
serializer.asDOMSerializer();
// serialize the document
serializer.serialize(xmlDoc);
hope this helps!

Convert XML string into DOM

Hi all,
I have a question here regarding converting XML string into a DOM document.
How can I do this in Java?
The Document.Parse() methods do not have one that takes in String as its parameter.
I'm not sure what is the best way to do this in Java.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

REG: WRITE XML STRING INTO XML FILE

Hi All, I have a XML FILE on PC. I get a xml string from my server.
My Task: I want to append the xml string coming from the server into the existing xml file at a particular Node. Given below is my code :
String xmlString = baos.toString();
                  DocumentBuilder db4XMLString = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
                  InputSource inStream = new InputSource();
                  inStream.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(xmlString));
                  Document doc4XMLString = db4XMLString.parse(inStream);
                  Node root4XMLString = doc4XMLString.getElementsByTagName("epg").item(0);
                  doc.appendChild(doc.importNode(root4XMLString, true));
                  File file = new File(Constant.XMLFILEPATH);
                  Result result = new StreamResult(file.toURI().getPath());
                  Source source = new DOMSource(doc);
                  Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
                  xformer.transform(source, result);But, wen i run my application I get following exception:
The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.parse(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(Unknown Source)
Is that my XML string is not well formed. Is it so then please let me how to convert my xml string into well formed XML data.
Please help me out.
Thanking You.

There are many reasons why xmlString could be not well formed. There is no magic recipe for making it well formed: just look at it and see why it is not parseable.
Note that this line:
String xmlString = baos.toString();can be problematic if you have non ASCII-7 characters in your XML document. baos could then contain a byte representation of these characters in one particular encoding, but, since you use the .toString() method that relies on the default encoding of your system, you can end up with a mismatch and garbage in your XML.

Convert XML string into XML

Hi All,
Can you please let me know for any sample code in xslt/java mapping for converting XML string into XML. We use SAP Pi 7.0
My XML string starts like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_ReceiverFileStructure <namespace>"><Output><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-9"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="<xsl>"?><Tarih_Date Tarih="11.09.2014" Date="09/11/2014>
Thanks,
Pavithra

Thanks Praveen. It worked.
However, the xml i have is an extract from a exchange rate URL and it has the reference to a xsl in it as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-9"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="<ABC.xsl>"?>.
So there is an error in sxmb_moni. Is it possible to remove this.

Convert XML string into an abap format date and time

Hi,
Does anyone know of a method or a function module in ABAP which converts XML string into an abap format date and time.
Here is a part of the xml that I want to convert.
<ns2:EventDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45+10:00</ns2:EventDateTime>
<ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45.987+10:00</ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>
Currently EventDateTime and EventMessageTransmissionDateTime are type XSDDATETIME_Z and these are converted to proper dates and times. We will be changing these fields to a STRING instead of XSDDATETIME_Z. The reason for this is to make the field more versatile. The customer would be receiving dates with Zulu (2009-09-23T12:00:00Z), with offsets (2009-09-23T12:00:00+10:00/-10:00) and just local timestamp (2009-09-23T12:00:00). With this, we need to make the date fields as string
to be able to accept the various date formats (esp. the local timestamp).
I am looking for a standard function module or method that will convert the xml string to a proper date and time abap format.
Would appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.

Insert XML String into XML file at a certain position

Hello,
I have this xml string:
<jdbc-driver-params>

</jdbc-driver-params>and i need to insert it into an xml file at a certain position (as child for a node)
The xml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jdbc-data-source xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90"
    xmlns:sec="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/security"

</jdbc-data-source>So, I obtain the node for the given xml string, the jdbc-data-source node from the xml file and i attempt the appendChild. The problem is that nothing really gets inserted into the xml file.
Someone, any idea?
My code:

               Node root = doc.getElementsByTagName("jdbc-data-source").item(0);
               //get XML string node
               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               DocumentBuilder db = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
               InputSource inStream = new InputSource();
               inStream.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(xmlString));

Performance problems loading an XML file into oracle database

Hello ODI Guru's,
I am trying to load and XML file into the database after doing simple business validations. But the interface takes hours to complete.
1. The XML files are large in size >200 Mb. We have an XSD file for the schema definition instead of a DTD.
2. We used the external database feature for loading these files in database.
The following configuration was used in the XML Data Server:
jdbc:snps:xml?f=D:\CustomerMasterData1\CustomerMasterInitialLoad1.xml&d=D:\CustomerMasterData1\CustomerMasterInitialLoad1.xsd&re=initialLoad&s=CM&db_props=oracle&ro=true
3. Now we reverse engineer the XML files and created models using ODI Designer
4. Similar thing was done for the target i.e. an Oracle database table as well.
5. Next we created a simple interface with one-to-one mapping from the XSD schema to the Oracle database table and executed the interface. This execution takes more than one hour to complete.
6. We are running ODI client on Windows XP Professional SP2.
7. The Oracle database server(Oracle 10g 10.2.0.3) for the target schema as well as the ODI master and work repositories are on the same machine.
8. I tried changing the following properties but it is not making much visible difference:
use_prepared_statements=Y
use_batch_update=Y
batch_update_size=510
commit_periodically=Y
num_inserts_before_commit=30000
I have another problem that when I set batch_update_size to value greater that 510 I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: class org.xml.sax.SAXException
class java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException said -32413
at com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.v.a(v.java)
The main concern is why should the interface taking so long to execute.
Please send suggestions to resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Nikunj

Approximately how many rows are you trying to insert?
One of the techniques which I found improved performance for this scenario was to extract from the xml to a flat file, then to use SQL*LOADER or external tables to load the data into Oracle.

Parsing an xml string into id-value pair format

Hi,
I am new in oracle BPEL.
My requirement is that I need to parse an xml string containing tag name and coressponding value into an 'id -value' pair.
For example-
The input xml format is -
<employee>
<empid>12345</empid>
<name>xyz</name>
<city>London</city>
</employee>
The required xml format is-
<employee>
<item id="empid" value="12345"/>
<item id="name" value="xyz"/>
<item id="city" value="London"/>
</employee>
Please let me know if there is a work-around for this.
Thanks

Something like this (have not tested):
<xsl:for-each select="//employee">
<employee>
<xsl:for-each select="./*">
<item>
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</item>
</xsl:for-each>
</employee>
</xsl:for-each>

Problem in coverting XML data to Interal Table.

Hello,
I have to write an application which converts an Internal Table Data to XML String and then from XML String to an Internal Table.
The reason for doing is that I am using an RFC Function module and the internal table is dynamically generated one.
But somehow the XML data is not getting converted to Internal Table.
The RFC returns Internal Table Data as XML and the Field Catalogue table
Now in the application which calls RFC, I am trying to convert XML data to a dynamic Internal table
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
Now convert XML String to Internal table
Using FMs 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
"Now XString to Binary
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP'
    EXPORTING
      i_tab_raw_data             = lt_xml_data
      i_totalsize                = lv_file_size
    TABLES
      i_tab_converted_data       = <fst_dyn_table>
   EXCEPTIONS
     conversion_failed          = 1
     OTHERS                     = 2
In the FM 'TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP' I am getting error Conversion failed.
Now I tried with transformations.
Here also my table is a dynamically created Internal table.
TRY.
      CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')
       SOURCE root = lt_zmt_tdm_fmap
          RESULT XML lv_output_str.
    CATCH cx_root INTO gs_rif_ex.
      gs_var_text = gs_rif_ex->get_text( ).
      MESSAGE gs_var_text TYPE 'I'.
ENDTRY.
Now the lv_output_str gets populated with data
But when I call Transformation again to convert XML to internal table, it does not throw error, but does not return any data also.
TRY.
      CALL TRANSFORMATION ('ID')
      SOURCE XML = lv_output_str
      RESULT ref = <fst_dyn_table> .
    CATCH cx_root INTO gs_rif_ex.
      gs_var_text = gs_rif_ex->get_text( ).
      MESSAGE gs_var_text TYPE 'I'.
ENDTRY.
How can this be resolved.
As pointed I am using RFC Function module, the parameters will be
1) XML String with Internal table data
2) Field Catalogue for Internal Table to be created dynamically.

Vikas
