Regarding parsing XML

Hi ,
I am trying to Parse XML using XML DOM using jaxp1.1 parser.But till and untill my whole xml file does not appears in complete single line it does not give the required output(avoiding white spaces).
So when I am trying to use Instance(of documentBuilderFactory).setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true) I am getting a error that method not found in javax.xml.parsers;
Please Help me regarding this.

Try to use the Xerces parser from Apache instead.
You can download it from: http://xml.apache.org/
According to the XML standard spaces should be ignored by the parser.

Jess

Error parsing XML: {err}FORG0005: expected exactly one item, got 0 items

Hi ,
Good Morning to all
in osb replace action am using xquery transformation resource.
source code of xquery is :

at the time of running "error is Error parsing XML: {err}FORG0005: expected exactly one item, got 0 items " in replace action.
how to resolve this problem...
Thanks & Regards
venky

The reason for the error is the xquery is not able to find the values in the input... Check the input and namespaces...
Try...
<ns1:value1>{ data($addition1/ns0:value1) }</ns1:value1>
<ns1:value2>{ data($addition1/ns0:value2) }</ns1:value2>Cheers,

Java stored proc performance parsing XML docs

Hi
We are using ORACLE 8i(8.1.6). I have a JAVA Stored procedure that parses XML doc and returns tha values. If I am testing on the box, I get an avg. return time of 2 secs. If I have 20 users, my return time for all went to 25 to 35 secs?
Are there any parameters on ORACLE I can modify to increase the performance. We are developing app for 1000 to 1500 users. I dont want to guess the time based on my test with 20 users.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Raju

Raju,
Oracle 8.1.7 should be better choice for you since it does have the XML stuff
natively compiled.
Regarding scaleability the JVM should scale
very well. However let us know what you find.

Parsing XML from a session bean

Hi,
I am trying to use a Sax parser for parsing xml received from a back end
legacy system. The code is executed from a Session bean.
Debugging learned me that the parse() method on the parser hangs the
container without any error or exception trace. The code works fine outside
a container.
All help will be highly appreciated.
Kurt

I found out that the InputStream implementation used parsing source inside
the container is different
then from the one outside (other type of VM of course!). The Weblogic
implementation blocks at the end of
the stream, while the normal SUN JDK 1.3 returns. This is not a bug, the bug
I found is in my proxy that allows
the connection to the backend. This proxy allows HTTP connections, and I
parse the XML received over HTTP.

Kurt

That's seems odd. Perhaps there is something going on in your document
handler code that triggers a hang in the environment of the server.
When you see the hang, instruct the VM to give you a thread dump (type
control-<break> on Windows, <control>-\ (backslash) on UNIX in the
window in which the server is running; the results are dumped to
stderr). That will show what every thread in the server is doing. If you
email or post the thread dump, I will take a look at it and see if I can
see what is going on. Also, let us know which platform, VM, parser, and
WebLogic version you are using.

Problem parsing xml in J2ME (using kxml2)

Hello.
May someone who knows how to use kxml help me please?
I'll try to be straight forward. (Please excuse my imperfect English)
My xml file look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sample_tag1 xmlns:mysample="http://www.sample001.com/sample01schema">
<feature name=tag1_feature>
 <test name=xxxxx id=200 message=Hello.></test>

 <booklist name="book2" label="b2"></booklist>
 <booklist name="book3" label="b3"></booklist>
</catalog>
</sample_tag1>
And here's my code
 //http request
 try{
 //I can guarantee that the URL is valid
httpConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(URL);
}catch(IOException ioe){
ioe.printStackTrace();
 //Create the parser
KXmlParser parser = new KXmlParser();
try{
 //I use this code section to test if the xml file is properly placed in the inputStream.
char[] tempChar = new char[500];
isr = new InputStreamReader(httpConnection.openInputStream());
isr.read(tempChar);
for(int i=0; i<tempChar.length;i++){
System.out.print(tempChar);
//set the xml input
parser.setInput(isr);
//skip the "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>" tag
parser.nextTag();
parser.require(XmlPullParser.START_TAG, null, "sample_tag1");
 System.out.println("name : " + parser.getName());
System.out.println("namespace : " + parser.getNamespace());
parser.nextTag(); // ***1
I compiled the app and run, here's the result:
name : sample_tag1
namespace :

How to parse xml string using JSTL

Suppose this is my string:-----
<books>
<book>
<title id=1>Book Title A</title>
<author>A. B. C.</author>
<price>17.95</price>
</book>
<book>
<title id=2>Book Title B</title>
<author>X. Y. Z.</author>
<price>24.99</price>
</book>
</books>
and I want to read title id = 1 then, how to parse it, I found tutorials regarding parsing simple xml document but how to parse attributes of a given XML

But both of them either parse a file or data from an input source. I don't think they handle strings.An InputSource can be constructed with a Reader as input. One useful subclass of Reader is StringReader, so you'd use something likeDocument doc = documentBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(myXMLString)));

Parsing xml using DOM parser in java

hi there!!!
i don have much idea about parsing xml.. i have an xml file which consists of details regarding indentation and spacing standards of C lang.. i need to read the file using DOM parser in java n store each of the attributes n elements in some data structure in java..
need help as soon as possible!!!

DOM is the easiest way to parse XML document, google for JDOM example it is very easy to implement.
you need to know what is attribute, what is text content and what is Value in XML then easily you can parse your document with dom (watch for space[text#] in your XML document when you parse it).
you get root node then nodelist of childs for root then go further inside, it is easy believe me.

How to compare after parsing xml file

Hi,
following code, parse the input.xml file, counts how many nodes are there and writes the node name and its value on screen.
1) i am having trouble writing only node name into another file instead of writing to screen.
2) after parsing, i like to compare each node name with another .xsd file for existence.
Please keep in mind that, input.xml is based on some other .xsd and after parsing i have comparing its tag with another .xsd
Need you help guys.

xml or plist , just the extension differs.(Both are Extended Markup Language).
If u want to edit it manually - u can use property list editor (which is in XCode )
or u can open with dashcode , which can be edited easily.
If ur question was to edit dynamically.
U can do that with write to file functionality.
For example u may check this.

External Parser - XML to Pipe Delimited - Sql Loader BETTER DBMS_XMLSTORE

Hi All,
If I have got data in GIGs in a complex format.
Can Using an External Java based XML Parser to convert XML to Pipe Delimited FIle and then Using SQL Loader
BE BETTER THAN
Using XSL to convert to Oracle <ROWSET> <ROW> Format and using DBMS_XMLSTORE to load data into tables.
In terms of:
Performace
Scalability
Exception Handling
Regards....

Go to the {forum:id=34} forum and look at the second page of the XML DB FAQ Thread (stickied to the top of the posts). While it doesn't compare using external tools to parse XML and load via SQL*Loader, it does talk about better ways to load large amounts of XML into the DB. This is also a good thread on the subject too from that forum, {thread:id=1096784}
