Thanks for your response.You are right I am not handling spaces anywhere. How to do that?
Can you please help in doing this?

org.w3c.dom.Node sourceNode = srcList.item(i);
if (sourceNode.getAttributes().getNamedItem("from-page").getNodeValue().equalsIgnoreCase(from)) {
org.w3c.dom.NodeList navigationCaseList = sourceNode.getChildNodes();
for (int j = 1; j < navigationCaseList.getLength(); j++) {

How to Read XML tags....

Hi guys...
Can any one here tell me how to read the XML tag in PL/SQL.
In table Enquiry there are following fields.
Id          number
Status          varchar2(5)
Request          XML
Reply          XML
Error          varchar2(10)
Now the following XML will be in request column from the requester.
I have to get the,
->request which is in BODY tag,
->ID number which is in from tag (its the persons unique ID to check his BILL)
Fetch the request from the database and updates it into the REPLY field with the same syntax.
<message>
<to> 123 </to>
<from>789</from>
<body> unbill </body>
<messagenumber> 01 </messagenumber>
</message>
Can any one have the solution to this, how can I read the XML tags, process & again inserts as an XML.
Thanks.

Maybe something like this will be a pointer...

How to read XML tags in a file, one at a time?

My file format is:
<main>
<section>

</section>
<section>
(many tags, some including CDATA)

many more <section>s (over a million)

To avoid reading all the <section>s into memory, how can I read one <section> at a time?
Thanks in advance.

Reading xml with streamtokenizer

Does anyone know how to read xml tags (everthing in between < & >) with streamtokenizer, I can't find any tutorials.

I recommend xml packages. It's a bit more complex, IMO.

Reading XML file generated through XMLGEN

Hi,
I have the following problem and I hope someone can give me an advise.
I generated a simple XML document through the packages XMLGEN.
This document is stored in a table in CLOB column.
After this document has been processed (changed) from the web server's ASP pages, I want to read this (changed) XML document (again in the a table in a CLOB)
to compare it against relational data.
There is not external DTD or schema of this XML.
I was thinking to read the elements from the XML/CLOB one-by-one and process them as needed.
I'm reading already over one week the Oracle manuals, but I can't find any good samples that would help me.
Does anyone know a nice PL/SQL sample to solve this problem?
Here is a sample of the XML data:
>>>>>>>>>
?xml version="1.0"?>

hi,
U r retriving the elements by tag name.So it just chks the tag name ie.<book> & gives u array of elements.But u need retrive d attribute of <book> tag itself.
=Solution =====
Add one more statement ----> var[]= doc.getElementsByName("book");
Now u hav book elements as an array & can retrive id in for loop
for(var; var.length;var++)
doc.element[var].id.value

Hi,
Try:

Please help me with the XML tag reading.

I have an content.xml with thouthand <table:table-row /> tags.
How can I read the attributes and values of the tag 150 for example?
Should I read one tag after the other before I reach 150, or there is a shorter way?
XML Structure of content.xml as example below.
In this sample I want to get the row4 and its value D4. Of course I don't know what value have the fourth tag and can't search tag with a value D4. I just know that the Row4 contains the value I need.
Is there any possibility to read the fourth tag, or I should read from the beginning and increase the counter. If the counter is 4, I should read the value. It seems to me not a good approach, because the files can contain thousands of tags and for each value to go throught the whole xml is resource-intensive.

Thanks for the answer.
And is there any possibility to get the tag with the value 5. I know that the fifth tag should contain the value I want, in this case 5. But there is an attribute, and if this attribute is not null, then some tags1 can be shifted so that the third tag1 have an attribute tags=2, so I know that there is no the fourth tag and I read the next tag as fifth (with XPath doc/tag[4]).
Should I read all tags, or there is some other way with the XPath. To search for the first tag with attributes and if its position before the fifth tag, than to decrease the tag-position counter and so on.
<doc>
<tag1>1</tag1>
<tag1>2</tag1>
<tag1 tags=2>3</tag1>
<tag1>5</tag1>
<tag1>6</tag1>
</doc>Thanks in advance.

How to parse xml file to read the tags

Hi All,
I am having a requirement to read the tags from the xml file(xml parsing).
The main issue is *xml file is stored in the table with xml type column* (not placed directly in the server) and we have to read the tags from that xml file.
Please help me to achieve it.
Regards,
Akshata

On the contrary, it's better when the data already resides in the database, though it should be in an XMLType column to leverage the full capacity of the Oracle parser.
What's the datatype of the column exactly? CLOB or BLOB?
Either way you'll have to convert in to XMLType datatype using the XMLType constructor.
Did you go through the countless examples on this forum? Examples with XMLTable should be helpful.
Post some sample data and database version if you need additional guidance.
Thanks.

How to read duplicate XML tag?

Hi to all gurus,
Currently I am working on XSLT transformation. I encountered a problem when I have to read a random number of xml tag with the same names.
sample:
<product_code_list>
<product_code>12345</product_code>
<product_code>12333</product_code>
<product_code>12233</product_code>
</product_code_list>
My xslt can only manage to read the 1st row. How can it be possible to read all the 3 rows?
xslt:
<product_code_list>
<xsl:for each select-value-of='product_code_list'>
<product_code_list1>
<product_code><xsl: select-value-of ='product_code'></product_code>
</product_code_list1>
</xsl:for each>
</product_code_list>
Many thanks in advance for reading this. Please assist to solve this. Point will be generously awarded!

Read a word embedded in xml tag

Hi everyone...
i am an university student. i am doing a final year project.....dealing with program
i want to ask how to read a word embedded in xml tag...
that is e.g apple
xml file: <fruit> apple </fruit>
<price>$4.00</price>
how to read apple from xml file and using a variable to store the word using java?
pls help.....

If you want to parse XML (more than the simple example you give), I recommend you go here: http://xml.apache.org and download Xerces for Java.
If you want to parse the text yourself, look at:
java.lang.String methods: indexOf(String,int) and substring(int,int)
java.util.StringTokenizer

Read XML root element tag in Java

Is there any way I can read the tag of the root element? Based on the tag, I process the XML differently.
Thank you.

I think I figured it out. I can accomplish this by using the getTagName method. Sorry for the lack of detail in my original question.
For those interested, I have a class that has XML passed to it. Depending on what the root tag name is, different activities needed to take place. I needed a way to read the tag in order to determine what actions needed to be performed.
Thank you.

> is there any way to read the content between xml tag
Yes. Are you having some sort of problem? If so, please be a little more explicit about what you're doing, what you expect to happen, and what you actually observe.
Please post a short, concise, executable example of what you're trying to do. Don't post the actual code you are using (I can't emphasize this strongly enough). Just write a small example that demonstrates the problem, and only that. Wrap the code in a class and give it a main method that runs it - if we can just copy and paste the code into a text file, compile it and run it without any changes, then we can be sure that we haven't made incorrect assumptions about how you are using it.
Post your code between [code] and [/code] tags. Cut and paste the code, rather than re-typing it (re-typing often introduces subtle errors that make your problem difficult to troubleshoot). Please preview your post when posting code.
Please assume that we only have the core API. We have no idea what SomeCustomClass is, and neither does our collective compiler.
If you have an error message, post the exact, complete error along with a full stack trace, if possible. Make sure you're not swallowing any Exceptions.
Help us help you solve your problem.
