Remove first line in the XML Document

Hi Friends,
In my File to File scenario when ever new mesg is appending to file at receiver side,it should remove <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> tag from the XML Document.This means <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> tag should appear once in a document.Plz suggest me to do this.
Thanks

Hi there,
you can either use XSLT (with output type="text") or Java, using the code:
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = docBuilder.parse(in);
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer trans = tf.newTransformer();
trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
OutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
trans.transform(source, new StreamResult(out));
} catch (...
But as Bhavesh said, append mode is not recommended for XML files.
Best approach is collect pattern on BPM.

Henrique.

Hi Deepthi,
Please give the following snippet a try, it should ignore the first occurence of wsse:Security for the output (the first template is used to copy everything into the output, the second template is overruling the first template for the first occurence of wsse:Security and creates an empty output for it):
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
      <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="wsse:Security[1]"/>

How to remove first line of outgoing messages: ?xml version="1.0"........

On outgoing messages, when I look in MONI, I see properly formatted XML message.
The first line of all my outgoing files has this line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
Is there a way to suppress this?
If so, is there a way to suppress for only certain partners within one interface?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
As others pointed without this line the document will not be a valid document. Can you tell your complete requirment. One of these kind of requirement is discussed in this thread, you can see whether its the same in your case or not. If not then tell your complete req. so that somebody can help you out here.

Parse xml cannot handle first line of " ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16

Hi,
I'm trying to use applescript to parse a few element values from an xml file. It only works if the xml file does NOT have an "<?xml...?>" entry on the first line. The production xml files I use will always have the <?xml...?> entry on the first line. I need to know how to code around it.
Here are two sample files. The first does NOT work, the second DOES work. The only diff is the <?xml...?> line in the first sample.
Sample 1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<alldata>
<valuea>a</valuea>
<valueb>b</valueb>
<valuec>c</valuec>
</alldata>
Sample 2:
<alldata>
<valuea>a</valuea>
<valueb>b</valueb>
<valuec>c</valuec>
</alldata>
Here's my simple script:
set theXML to "path:to:folder:alldata.xml"
tell application "System Events"
tell XML element 1 of contents of XML file theXML -- root element
set value_a to (value of XML element "value_a")
end tell
end tell
The error returned when using the first file format is:
error "System Events got an error: Can’t get XML element \"value_a\" of XML element 1 of contents of XML file \"ath:to:folder:alldata.xml\"." number -1728 from XML element "value_a" of XML element 1 of contents of XML file "path:to:folder:alldata.xml"
Any feedback is appreciated.
NOTE: I am not able to use any third party xml tools for this. This script must use default xml tools, e.g., "System Events". Thanks.

Your first script example works for me. I don't know what you are using to create the data file, but one thing to look at would be to make sure the actual file encoding matches your encoding declaration, and that it is plain text.

Not able to validate the xml document against DTD using SAX

Hi ,
i am not able to validate xml document against its DTD using SAX parser even after setting setValidating = true. even if the file is not correct according to DTD , it is not throwing any exception. what could be the reason.? please help..
kranthi
this is the code sample i used.
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
     try {
factory.newSAXParser().parse(new File("sample.xml"), handler);
     } catch (SAXException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();                         System.exit(2);
     } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Hi karthik
Thanks for your response
Actually iam a beginner in java coding hence struggling to come up with the things
I tried putting your code and onserver side i see it is returning 09:12:17,234 INFO [STDOUT] [root: null]
actually the same program i wrote in java
and the same method i was calling from the main
and it is working fine and the xml document is getting displayed one important thing to be noted here is that the factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new File(filename));is returing XmlDocument
and the printing takes place
but the in same method public static Document parseXMLFile(String filename, boolean b) in servlet
the line factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new File(filename)); is returning DeferredDocumentImpl
and this creating problem , had it returned XmlDocument
i would have printed the elements one one
but as it is returning deferredimpl
iam unable to print the elements
could you please tell me why factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new File(filename)); is returning DeferredDocumentImpl
in servlets but in plain java pogram it is returing XmlDocument
Thanks

Carriage Returns & Line Feeds in XML documents

Does anyone know why the PL/SQL XML parser will NOT work with Carriage Returns (0x0D) within the XML document?
Currently I'm having to strip them out, leaving just the Line Feed (0x0A).
I only realised this after looking at the family.xml example document.

I forgot to mention that I'm running Oracle 8i on Windows NT.

Getting line number of XML document

Hi all,
Can someone please help me in 'how to get the line number of XML document'. I know when it throws SAXParseException it give the line number. I want to get the line number when it parses the document successfully. I know i need to use setDocumentLocator and then implement the Locator.
can someone give me a chunk of code for it.
thx in advance,
-Soni

Hi,
Atlast i got the solution. It goes like this..
class A {
Location loc;
public void setDocumentLocator(Locator l) {
loc = l;
//Here goes other methods like startElement, endElement etc.
public void someMethod() {
loc.getLineNumber(); //u can do this anywhere inside the class

Yup, you guys pointed me in the right direction.
I changed my adjustmentListener to the following:
JScrollBar scrollBar = (JScrollBar) e.getSource();
int endLoc = document.getLength();
try {
    Rectangle end = outputArea.modelToView(endLoc);
    if (end != null) {
        int n = scrollBar.getValue() + scrollBar.getVisibleAmount();
        boolean locked = (end.y >= n && n <= (end.y + end.height));
} catch (BadLocationException ex) {
}By comparing scrollbar position with the visible rectangle of the end of the document, I can now easily tell if the user has moved the tracker back or not.
To go to the next step of automatically pausing scrolling whenever the user is moving the slider back, I also had to disable the automatic scrolling performed by DefaultCaret. Because there was no way to tell if the user was scrolling or if the output was adjusting from the adjustmentListener, I also had to flag whenever I was autoscrolling.
The end result is a JTextPane that can be appended to at all, and locked by the user by using the slider. If new data arrives, the window is not scrolled, and any text selection the user has is not cleared. Perfect!

Move

How to remove characters/lines from the beginning of an InputStream

Hi,
I have a program which receives several InputStreams. From each of these streams I have to remove 2 lines from the beginning. After the lines are removed, all the streams are combined to one with SequenceInputStream and read in one chunk. Is there an easy/simple way of doing this?
One option I thought would be to read the char by char until 2 end of line chars have been detected and then read the rest of the data to a buffer. And the create a ByteArrayInputStream out of this buffer. Problem with this approach is, that the amount of data can be large, so putting all the data in to memory might cause problems.
Another option is to use BufferredInputStream and use the readline() method twice to get rid of the lines that are not needed. After this I would write the data to some output stream, which is then converted back to input stream. Propably would work, but sound too much of work for a simple thing like this. There has to be better way.
To make it simple, what I need is a method that looks like the following, or something similar
* Removes n number of lines from the beginning of a InputStream.
* @param is InputStream where the lines are removed
* @param numberOfLines int value to indicate how many lines whould be removed
* @return InputStream where lines have been removed.
public InputStream removeLines(InputStream is, numberOfLines);Thanks.

Here's the code, feel free to use it. Comments are also welcome.
public InputStream removeLinesFromTheBeginning(InputStream is, int numberOfLines) throws IOException
          char c = 'c';
          int i = 0;
          for(int n = 0 ; n < numberOfLines ; n++)
               do
                    c = (char)is.read();
                    System.out.print(c);
                    if(c == (char)-1)     // end of stream reached before any newline characters were found.
                         return null;
                    i++;
               while(c != '\n');
               System.out.println();

Create a new line in the xml-header structure.

Hi,
Can any one tell me how to create a new line in the xml-header structure.
I am doing a IDOC-XI-HTTP scenario.
Actually my mapping create this file:
<b><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ORDERS05>
<IDOC BEGIN="1">
    <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1"> </b>
The result must look like this.
<b><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ORDERS05>
<IDOC BEGIN="1">
    <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1"> </b>
Thanks and Regards,
Eren

Hi,
thanks for you quick answer.
I found a xsl script.
It works fine.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
   <xsl:template match="*">
      <xsl:param name="depth">0</xsl:param>
      
      <xsl:if test="$depth > 0">
         <xsl:text>    </xsl:text>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
      <xsl:element name="{name(.)}">
         <xsl:for-each select="@*">
            <xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute>
         </xsl:for-each>
         <xsl:apply-templates>
            <xsl:with-param name="depth" select="$depth + 1"/>
         </xsl:apply-templates>
      </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Best regards

String representation of the xml document

hi, I have created the following xml document using the DOM api. I want to the "function" to return a "string" - which represents the xml document i created. How do u do that?
As of now it doesnt return anything...
How do u return the entire xml document as character data..? just like
<root><elements>data</elements></root>....
anyhelp would be great.
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
public class test1{
private static void function()throws IOException, DOMException{
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance ();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder ();
Document doc = db.newDocument ();
Element record = doc.createElement ("record");
Element name = doc.createElement ("name");
Element address = doc.createElement ("address");
Element zip = doc.createElement ("zip");
Text nameText = doc.createTextNode("bill");
Text addressText = doc.createTextNode("128, washington");
Text zipText = doc.createTextNode("10000");
doc.appendChild(record);
record.appendChild(name);
name.appendChild(nameText);
record.appendChild(address);
address.appendChild(addressText);
record.appendChild(zip);
zip.appendChild(zipText);
public static void main (String argv [])throws Exception {
function();
}

Brent,
Looks like you're using the Sun Java Parser. I'll show you how to do it with the Oracle XML Parser and you can extrapolate...
Document doc = new XMLDocument();
// Stuff here to build up the DOM Doc
// with elements, etc.
// Print the Document to a String
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
// Wrap the stringwriter in a printwriter
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
// Print to the printwriter
((XMLDocument)doc).print(pw);
// return the string from the stringwriter
return sw.toString();

Exchange 2007 - The XML document ended unexpectedly.

Hello,
I'm trying to connect with a exchange server 2007 sp3 through EWS.
I can connect but when I try to retrieve a calendar item I'm getting this error:
The XML document ended unexpectedly.
It seems that the EWS/Exchange isn't well configurated.
I tried it in the EWSEditor and the result is the same.
I checked the connectivity in the shell and all the results were ok.
Any new idea to test?
Thanks!

Did you ever get a fix for this, i have the exact same issue and my MAC clients cannot use ews.
