Hi All
I can able to parsed one structured XML file using SAX
Sample code :

     // SAX DocumentHandler methods
     // ===========================================================
     public void startDocument() throws SAXException {
          logger.info("Start of document");

               String qualName, // qualified name
               Attributes attrs) throws SAXException {
          elemName = new String(localName); // element name
          if (elemName.equals(""))

          tagPosition = TAG_START;
          // Set the string for accumulating the text in a tag to empty
          elemChars = "";

          if (elemName.equals("row")) {
               row = new IndexRow();
               numRows++;
          // logger.info("Number of numRow:"+numRows);
     } // end method startElement

          } else if (elemName.equals("Depth")) {
               row.setDepth(elemChars);
          else if (elemName.equals("Heat")) {
               // logger.info("Chars for element " + elemName + " are '" +

               // Leave double value at default of zero if there are no chars
               if (elemChars.trim().length() != 0) {

                    row.setHeat(dblVal);
                    indexId = row.getIndexxId();

          else if (elemName.equals("IndexREDId")){

          else if (elemName.equals("Coupon")){
               row.setCoupon(elemChars);
          if (elemName.equals("Ontherun")) {
               row.setOnTheRun(elemChars);
     } // end method endElement
     public void characters(char buf[], int offset, int len) throws SAXException {
          // If at end of element, there will be no characters
          if (tagPosition == TAG_END) {
               return;
          // The characteres method may be called more than once
          // for an element if the internal buffer fills up.
          // Append the characters until the end of the element.
          String strVal = new String(buf, offset, len);
          elemChars = elemChars + strVal;
     } // end method characters
} // end class MarkItIndexLoader
but the problem is i want to read (parse) any XML file means any Elemets would be change any time using SAX .In the above example
else if (elemName.equals("Heat")) {
else if (elemName.equals("IndexREDId")){
} else if (elemName.equals("Maturity")) {
like above I am doing hard code Elements names and reading the values so i don't want hard coding the elements names I want to read any element name and value dynamically.
If i give any one below XML file i want to read the Elements and displaying to console without changing any code i want to read the XML document.
EX:
Student.XML: <root>..</StName>..</StAge>...</root>
Employee.XML: <root>..</EmpName>..</EmpAge>...</root>
CdCatalog.XML: <root>..</Cdtitle>...</CdNumber>...</root>
I need one java program can ready any type of XML file elements and send to the Database table.
Please any one done like this task please suggest some reference links or books or sample snippet which can help me to develop program in my requirement.
Thanks in advance

satish

You should ask in the Java forum.

By the way, there is a new feature in Java 5.0 (Tiger) called "Annotations."
Since your code extneds DefaultHandler, you could specify a line with
@Override
before the definition of each of your methods. If you had used these, the compiler would have given an error since your methods did not override the methods of DefaultHandler.
(If your code implemented ContentHandler, by contrast, using @Override is invalid because you need to implement all of the methods defined in the interface definition.)
The other comment is that the safest way to handle characters() data is to use a StringBuilder/Buffer (StringBuilder is only valid in 5.0, StringBuffer has been around since Release 1.0) that you define in the startElement method. Use the append method to gather data presented to you in the characters() method and use toString() to harvest the data in the endElement method.

because what you want is not the node value of CODE but the node value of the text nodes into it!
assuming only one text node into it, try this:
System.out.println("lTrans1.item(0).getNodeName : " + lTrans1.item(0).getFirstChild().getNodeValue());

Buiding xml file using SAX parser of JAXP

Please send me xml building using the sax parser.This is the urgent requirement ,iam not geeting how to solve this problem.so please anybody can help with one best example

You don't build an XML file with a parser. A parser reads an XML file and converts it to some internal representation. Try reading this tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/

Edit / Modify an XML Element using SAX.

My need is to read,update,delete elements from large (200-700MB) xml files. Because of large files I am using SAX parser. I am able to read the xml using events generated but the issue is how do I modify a perticular attribute or node value, add new node??
Apart from SAX is there any other better solution???
Any help wil be appreciated!!

if you meant "in a simple and quick way that will only change the desired value in the text file" i fear no, you can't

There can be any number of items( 1 to n). I need to parse these
item values using SAX parser and invoke a stored procedure for
each item with its
values(partnumber,qty,lpn,refnum1,refnum2,refnum3).
Suppose if there are 100 items, i need to invoke the stored
procedure sp1() 100 times for each item.
I need to invoke the stored procedure in endDocument() method of
SAX event handler and not in endelement() method.
What is the best way to store those values and invoke the stored
procedure in enddocument() method.
Any help would br greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

VO or ValueObject is a trendy new name for Beans.
So just create an item class with variables for each of the sub elements.
<item>
<part-number>PN1234</part-number>
<quantity uom="ea">10</quantity>
<lpn>LPN1060</lpn>
<reference num="1">Line ref 1</reference>
<reference num="2">Line ref 2</reference>
<reference num="3">Line ref 3</reference>
</item>
public class ItemVO
String partNumber;
int quantity;
String quantityType;
String lpn;
List references = new ArrayList();
* @return Returns the lpn.
public String getLpn()
return this.lpn;
* @param lpn The lpn to set.
public void setLpn(String lpn)
this.lpn = lpn;
* @return Returns the partNumber.
public String getPartNumber()
return this.partNumber;
* @param partNumber The partNumber to set.
public void setPartNumber(String partNumber)
this.partNumber = partNumber;
* @return Returns the quantity.
public int getQuantity()
return this.quantity;
* @param quantity The quantity to set.
public void setQuantity(int quantity)
this.quantity = quantity;
* @return Returns the quantityType.
public String getQuantityType()
return this.quantityType;
* @param quantityType The quantityType to set.
public void setQuantityType(String quantityType)
this.quantityType = quantityType;
* @return Returns the references.
public List getReferences()
return this.references;
* @param references The references to set.
public void setReferences(List references)
this.references = references;

I want to load large raw XML file in firefox and parse by DOM. But, for large XML file the firefox very slow some time crashed . Is there any option to increase DOM handling memory in Firefox

Actually i am using an off-line form to load very large XML file and using firefox to load that form. But, its taking more time to load and some time the browser crashed. through DOM parsing this XML file to my form. Is there any option to increase DOM handler size in firefox

Thank you for your suggestion. I have a question,
though. If I use a relational database and try to
access it for EACH and EVERY click the user makes,
wouldn't that take much time to populate the page with
data?
Isn't XML store more efficient here? Please reply me.You have the choice of reading a small number of records (10 children per element?) from a database, or parsing multiple megabytes. Reading 10 records from a database should take maybe 100 milliseconds (1/10 of a second). I have written a web application that reads several hundred records and returns them with acceptable response time, and I am no expert. To parse an XML file of many megabytes... you have already tried this, so you know how long it takes, right? If you haven't tried it then you should. It's possible to waste a lot of time considering alternatives -- the term is "analysis paralysis". Speculating on how fast something might be doesn't get you very far.

Problem using saxparser(reading japanese xml file)

Hi everybody,
I hav a problem while reading japanese xml file.(UTF-8 charset)
I have to read the file and process it.
But in the characters function of the saxparser(defaulthandler) the japanese chatracters are not read properly and the program is
displaying some junk values(????) instead of the actual japanese characters.
I am also usind xsd validation.
I am not able to where the characters manipulation is being done.
Please help me as soon as possible .
Thanks in advance,
Charan.

There are a couple of things probably going on.
1) When I've done things using Unicode unusual characters, they do not print properly if you do System.out.println( ). If you have a Gui panel and can put them into a JTextArea or JEditorPane, they may show up properly if you have set the font for that object to one that can display the characters.
2) Many people starting with SAX write their code assuming that the characters method is only called once for each element that has text content. This is incorrect. The characters method can be called many times, and it is your responsibility to catch all of the data. In 1.4 you can use a StringBuffer, or in 1.5 there is a StringBuilder. You use these to accumulate the data from all of the calls to charactrers() between the startElement and endElement.
Each parser can decide how often it calls characters, so you have to be able to process data from several calls.

Invalid system identifier: file:///c:/ParyConfig.dtd
Please advise?for goodness sake, how many times do I have to tell you that you can't just expect the Properties class to accept arbitrary XML in any format? it reads XML in the format I linked to, and nothing else. Properties is not a general purpose XML binding. you can't do what you're trying to do with it. read this and in particular pay attention to the following
The XML document must have the following DOCTYPE declaration:
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
Furthermore, the document must satisfy the properties DTD described above.
you are not reading my answers properly, are you? kindly do so

Where can I find an example of a vi which reads a xml file using the Labview schema (LVXMLSchema.xsd)?

Where can I find an example of a vi which reads a xml file using the Labview schema (LVXMLSchema.xsd)?
�Unflatten From XML� is of little use in parsing because it requires the data type. So it seems that the user has to parse each data value, and then �Unflatten From XML� can help a little.
I would like to see NI provide a VI for parsing it�s own schema.

LabVIEW's XML functions are another way of saving data from controls and indicators that is in a more standardized format. If you look at the Unflatten From XML shipping example, it shows taking the data that you would normally send to a Digital Wveform Graph and converting it to XML instead. This data is then unflattend from XML and wired to the graph. Since you know what you wrote to the file, this is an easy thing to do. If what you are looking for is a way to look at any data in any LabVIEW XML file, then you are right, there is not a VI for that. However, I do not believe that that was the intention of the XML functions in the first place.
By wiriting data in XML, this allows other applications outside of LabVIEW to parse and recognize the dat
a. In LabVIEW, you would already know the types and can place a generic item of that type. The issue of knowing the type is that you need to know the type of the wire that comes out of the Unflatten function so that the VI will compile correctly. You could always choose a variant value to unflatten and then do some parsing to take the variant a part. Maybe this will help you out.
See this example for using the Microsoft parser for XML. (http://venus.ni.com/stage/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B123AE0CB9FE111EE034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52050&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=)

Reading an xml file in actionscript using flex3

plzz tell me how to read an xml file in actionscript using flex3.......

One possible option to parse an xml-file to a flex XML object:
public function parseConXML(source:String):void
                xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
                xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(source));
                  // Eventlistener: if URL loaded --> onLoadComplete function
                  xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoadComplete);
            public function xmlLoadComplete(evt:Event):void{
                var xml:XML = new XML();
                 // ignore comments in XML-File
                XML.ignoreComments = true;
                   //ignore whitespaces in XML-File
                 XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
                // XML-Objekt erstellen
                xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
               //AFTERWARDS use your xml as your wish

UCCX8 - script that reads XML file failing, used to work fine in UCCX 5 and 7

I have a existing script that I've used many times before to read a simple XML file to check open hours for a queue. In both UCCX 5 and 7
I loaded up all my same scripts, documents , structure, etc..
When I run script I get the below error.
The error implies its a security problem but I also wonder if it could simply be a incorrect directory structure as well
I have the document located in the repository under en\GlobalDocuments\HolidayDatesWithHours.xml
Is there a differnet way we need to reference documents in UCCX 8 than 5 or 7
I think I doing it correctly, using the CreateFileDocument and CreateXMLDocument steps, NOT trying to access the filesystem directly
Do I need to use forward slashes in the file path for UCCX 8 ,
Any ideas where to look. This same error appears wherever in my script that I'm trying to read a XML file. different scripts as well so it seems that I'm doing something consistently wrong that used to work correctly on multiple UCCX 5&7 servers in the past.
Thanks.

It should be fine, I assume you mean to reference the full location of your files such as:
DOC[en\GlobalDocuments\HolidayDatesWithHours.xml]
Or you could use a document variable such as:
docVariable = DOC[en\GlobalDocuments\HolidayDateWithHours.xml]
then in the script reference that:
doc = Create XML Document (docVariable)
