Specify xml string in .java file?

I have a class A in a .java file where I would like to specify a string which is a xml snippet:
public class A {
public String getXmlString() {
String myXmlString = "<?xml version="1.0"?>
<catalog>
   <book id="bk101">
      <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
      <title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
      <genre>Computer</genre>
      <price>44.95</price>
      <publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
      <description>An in-depth look at creating applications
      with XML.</description>
   </book>
</catalog>"
}But that does not compile. I have tried to use the escape \\ charater for the qoutes and angle brackets but that does not solve the problem. How do I specify a string with xml content in a class?

Create Business Partner from XMl String not a file

Hi,
Is it possible to create a BP from an XML string.
I know about GetBusinessPartnerFromXml(string FileName, int index)
but I dont want to save the string in a file before creating a BP from it
Hope there's a method to do that

Marc,
This looks like it is a duplicate of this post, so I am closing this thread as it looks like you answered your own question!

Xml string in Java - forbidden characters for data?

Hi there,
In my java class I am building a xml string and saving it as a xml file in the hard drive. Later when I open the file in the XML editor it gets errors "forbidden characters". I think the problem is that in the data there can be characters as & or <> and of course that would disturbe the xml structure. Is there any smart method in Java which convert all the forbidden characters for xml data?... many thanks for any hints.

And it isn't.
So the real solution is to build it correctly in the first place.
Is there any smart method in Java which convert all the forbidden characters for xml data?There are also libraries that will allow you to build xml which handle those sorts of issues for you.

XML string from Java

Hi
I have requirement in which i have a jsp that i use to get information from users. I need to convert the info to XML data into a String , whihc i later use to pass as messages using AQ.
I also have to, at a later point retreive the data from the XML String, update some information and recreate the XML string object with the new data.
I do not want to use the XML SQL Utility as this could provide too costly in terms of database hits .
Is there some XML Parser methods i can use to do the generation and retrieval of XML data into Strings.
Thanks
null

Sort of hack but the way I did it was
Convert to String:
Construct a ByteArrayOutputStream
print your documenet to this,
and then call the toString() on the
ByteArrayOutputStream.
Convert from String to an XMLDocument:
Construct a StringReader(String s)
Construct a DOMParser and parse the
StringReader.
Hope this helps.

Writing a large xml string to a file

Hi,
I get a large xml file, into a String (It might be around 8 MB also). After this, I need to write this to a file. Which java method I can use for the same.
I am getting confused by the various classes for writing a file.
I want to use the best, efficient way of doing this. Can any one please help?
public static void writeStringToFile( String fileName, String content,
          boolean append )
          throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
          FileOutputStream fos = null;
          File file = new File (fileName);
          try {
//++ fos = new FileOutputStream( file);
      fos = new FileOutputStream( file, append );                 //++
               fos.write(getBytes(content));
          } catch (FileNotFoundException fne) {
               throw fne;
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               throw ioe;
          } finally {
               try {
               if(fos != null)
                    fos.close();
               } catch (Exception _ex) {
     }

But is there any any particular reason for using the encoding specific to xml?Yes, because that's what the XML specification says you're supposed to do. If you don't do that then you may produce malformed XML.
Will there be any perf degrade or truncation of the large string, while writing to the file, if we use,
out.write(sigUpdateString);Compared to what? You're just writing the data out to a file, the quickest way to do that is to just write the data out. The two things you should do are: (1) use a BufferedWriter (2) stop obsessing about performance.

To convert XML String- ResultSet

Hi
I am using Web Services created in EJB and will be accessed from JSP client containing applet-swing based GUI, using n tier architecture so I need to convert the XML String to Java ResultSet. (I am able to convert the ResultSet -> XML string using ResultSetBuilder), So I just want to know how to convet the XML String to Java ResultSet.
Secondly is there any method to manually add columns to the ResultSet.
Will anybody tell me of any utility, tools or the methods so that I can accomplish this task.
Thank in advance
nitin

What would be the point of doing this? A ResultSet is basically like a cursor running against a database query. You could create a fake ResultSet and pass it something else but why? Just use a normal data-structure.

How to get an XML string from a Java Bean without wrting to a file first ?

I know we can save a Java Bean to an XML file with XMLEncoder and then read it back with XMLDecoder.
But how can I get an XML string of a Java Bean without writing to a file first ?
For instance :
My_Class A_Class = new My_Class("a",1,2,"Z", ...);
String XML_String_Of_The_Class = an XML representation of A_Class ?
Of course I can save it to a file with XMLEncoder, and read it in using XMLDecoder, then delete the file, I wonder if it is possible to skip all that and get the XML string directly ?

I think so too, but I am trying to send the object to a servlet as shown below, since I don't know how to send an object to a servlet, I can only turn it into a string and reconstruct it back to an object on the server side after receiving it :
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
class Servlet_Message        // Send a message to an HTTP servlet. The protocol is a GET or POST request with a URLEncoded string holding the arguments sent as name=value pairs.
public static int GET=0;
public static int POST=1;
private URL servlet;
// the URL of the servlet to send messages to
public Servlet_Message(URL servlet) { this.servlet=servlet; }
public String sendMessage(Properties args) throws IOException { return sendMessage(args,POST); }
// Send the request. Return the input stream with the response if the request succeeds.
// @param args the arguments to send to the servlet
// @param method GET or POST
// @exception IOException if error sending request
// @return the response from the servlet to this message
public String sendMessage(Properties args,int method) throws IOException
    String Input_Line;
    StringBuffer Result_Buf=new StringBuffer();
    // Set this up any way you want -- POST can be used for all calls, but request headers
    // cannot be set in JDK 1.0.2 so the query string still must be used to pass arguments.
    if (method==GET)
      URL url=new URL(servlet.toExternalForm()+"?"+toEncodedString(args));
      BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
      while ((Input_Line=in.readLine()) != null) Result_Buf.append(Input_Line+"\n");
    else
      URLConnection conn=servlet.openConnection();
      conn.setDoInput(true);
      conn.setDoOutput(true);
      conn.setUseCaches(false);
      // Work around a Netscape bug
      conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
      // POST the request data (html form encoded)
      DataOutputStream out=new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
      if (args!=null && args.size()>0)
        out.writeBytes(toEncodedString(args));
//        System.out.println("ServletMessage args: "+args);
//        System.out.println("ServletMessage toEncString args: "+toEncodedString(args));
      BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
      while ((Input_Line=in.readLine()) != null) Result_Buf.append(Input_Line+"\n");
      out.flush();
      out.close(); // ESSENTIAL for this to work!
    return Result_Buf.toString();               // Read the POST response data
// Encode the arguments in the property set as a URL-encoded string. Multiple name=value pairs are separated by ampersands.
// @return the URLEncoded string with name=value pairs
public String toEncodedString(Properties args)
    StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
    if (args!=null)
      String sep="";
      Enumeration names=args.propertyNames();
      while (names.hasMoreElements())
        String name=(String)names.nextElement();
        try { sb.append(sep+URLEncoder.encode(name,"UTF-8")+"="+URLEncoder.encode(args.getProperty(name),"UTF-8")); }
//        try { sb.append(sep+URLEncoder.encode(name,"UTF-16")+"="+URLEncoder.encode(args.getProperty(name),"UTF-16")); }
        catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { System.out.println(e); }
        sep="&";
    return sb.toString();
}As shown above the servlet need to encode a string.
Now my question becomes :
<1> Is it possible to send an object to a servlet, if so how ? And at the receiving end how to get it back to an object ?
<2> If it can't be done, how can I be sure to encode the string in the right format to send it over to the servlet ?

Conversion of xml string to xml file

To convert xml string to xml file in java i used
Document XMLDoc=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(new InputSource(new StringReader("<root><main>Title</main></root&g t;")));
But it is showing an error as InputSource cannot be resolved
How to rectify this

I assume you mean there is a compiler error? (It helps if you explain your problem instead of just giving a vague description of it.) It sounds like you have to import InputSource. You do know about the import statements that go at the beginning of a Java class, don't you?

How to specify xml file to populate form fields in the PDF file via command line?

Hi,
I would like to specify xml data file to populate my pdf file using command line.
The form was Reader extended.
I've tried the following syntax :
Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=100" "C:\example.pdf"#xml="C:\example.xml" but got an acrobat error: "the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect".
Where am I wrong?
Thanks!

>If I understand correctly you propose something like this
Something like, yes.
>
>Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=100" "xml=C:\example.xml" ....
Certainly, neither will work. /A is followed by a single quoted
string. There must be some separator, but I don't know what it needs
to be (as I was alluding to in my first reply).
To see if there is any hope, just try without the zoom= completely. In
any case you can set the zoom in the document properties.

How to convert xml String to xml file?

Hi,
I got a method that do the following:
public static String convertXmlToString(String xmlFileName) throws Exception
        File file = new File(xmlFileName);
        FileInputStream insr = new FileInputStream(file);
        byte[] fileBuffer = new byte[(int)file.length()];
        insr.read(fileBuffer);
        insr.close();
        return new String(fileBuffer);
     }The return String is the contents of an existing xml file and one example is shown below:
<object type="server.WOXReference" id="0"><field name="actualPathObj"><object type="java.lang.String" id="1">C:\restClient\actualXMLObjects\812856084.xml</object></field><field name="object"><object type="server.WOXConstructor" id="2"><field name="className"><object type="java.lang.String" id="3">rec.SimpleRecognizer</object></field><field name="types"><array type="java.lang.String" length="3" id="4"><object type="java.lang.String" id="5">double[].class</object><object type="java.lang.String" id="6">double.class</object><object idref="6" /></array></field><field name="args"><array type="java.lang.Object" length="3" id="7"><array type="double" length="5" id="8">22.33 33.22 33.33 22.0 11.0</array><object type="java.lang.Double" id="9">2.2</object><object type="java.lang.Double" id="10">3.3</object></array></field><field name="retType"><object type="java.lang.String" id="11">act</object></field></object></field></object>
and I want to change the above string to xml file like below:
<object type="server.WOXReference" id="0"><field name="actualPathObj"><object type="java.lang.String" id="1">C:\restClient\actualXMLObjects\812856084.xml</object></field><field name="object"><object type="server.WOXConstructor" id="2"><field name="className"><object type="java.lang.String" id="3">rec.SimpleRecognizer</object></field><field name="types"><array type="java.lang.String" length="3" id="4"><object type="java.lang.String" id="5">double[].class</object><object type="java.lang.String" id="6">double.class</object><object idref="6" /></array></field><field name="args"><array type="java.lang.Object" length="3" id="7"><array type="double" length="5" id="8">22.33 33.22 33.33 22.0 11.0</array><object type="java.lang.Double" id="9">2.2</object><object type="java.lang.Double" id="10">3.3</object></array></field><field name="retType"><object type="java.lang.String" id="11">act</object></field></object></field></object>How to I change the above xml String back to xml file again?

HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: String index out of range: -7

All -
I'm new to consuming web services in JDeveloper. I'm using Oracle JDEV 10.1.3.3/OC4J. I'm using this version since it is compatible with Oracle EBS 12.1.3. My intent is to pull data from our third party recruitment app (Success Factors) and load that data into Oracle HRIS. I'm already doing this through a .NET application. I'm converting it to be a Java Concurrent Program in EBS. The code listed below is a stub call to verify I'm on the right track. I created a JDeveloper Web Services proxy project. I'm testing it locally on my windows desktop. When I'm able to consume the service successfully, then I'll think about moving it to the EBS server.
I'm getting the following error when I invoke the following service:
HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: String index out of range: -7
End point is: https://api4.successfactors.com/sfapi/v1/soap?wsdl

The other end is throwing back a programming error.
That might be because you are sending incorrect data and the other end fails to validate it.
You might be able to guess based on your C# code. But, since you are using soap one generic solution is available to you.
- Get an http proxy interceptor like wireshark.
- Run it while your C# app runs, collect the http requests from that.
- Run it while running your java code, collect the http requests from that.
Compare the two.

Parse xml string not file

Hi
Can anyone help me I am trying to parse a xml file that is in a StringBuffer and not a file.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks ;>

You can create a StringReader object from your StringBuffer. Once you have a StringReader object, you can create an InputSource object. Then, you can parse the InputSource with a DocumentBuilder object. I enclosed the code to illustrate. The method printXml is only used to check that the XML string is properly parsed and retrieved.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringReader;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import org.w3c.dom.Attr;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
public class Parsing
    public static void main(String[] args)
     StringBuffer yourStringBuffer = new StringBuffer("<message>"
                                    +"<header>This is the message's header</header>"
                                    + "<body>This is the message's body</body>"
                                    + "</message>");
     try {
         DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = new org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl();
         //throws ParserConfigurationException
         DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
         StringReader strReader = new StringReader(yourStringBuffer.toString());
         //throws SAXException, IOException, IllegalArgumentException
         Document doc = docBuilder.parse(new InputSource(strReader));
         System.out.println(printXml(doc)); //check if the XML can be retreived, i.e. it has been parsed successfully
     catch(ParserConfigurationException ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
     catch(SAXException ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
     catch(IOException ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();

         ex.printStackTrace();
    //Convenient method to print a Document object.
    public static String printXml(Document xmlDoc)
     StringBuffer xml = new StringBuffer("************ Xml Document *************");
     print(xmlDoc,xml);
     return xml.toString();
    protected static void print(Node node, StringBuffer strXml)
     int type;
     String elementName;
     Node childNode;

     Attr attrib;
     NodeList childNodes;
     strXml.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
     if(node == null)
         return;
     type = node.getNodeType();
     switch (type) {
     case Node.DOCUMENT_NODE: {
         print(((Document)node).getDocumentElement(),strXml); //recursive call to browse the tree
         break;
     case Node.ELEMENT_NODE: {
         elementName = node.getNodeName();
         strXml.append("<" + elementName);
         attrs = node.getAttributes();
         if(attrs == null)
          strXml.append(">");
         else {
          for(int i = 0; i < attrs.getLength(); i++) {
              attrib = (Attr) attrs.item(i);
              strXml.append(" " + attrib.getName() + "=\"" + attrib.getValue() + "\"");
          strXml.append(">");
         childNodes = node.getChildNodes();
         if(childNodes == null) return;
         for (int i = 0; i < childNodes.getLength(); i++) {
          childNode = childNodes.item(i);
          if(childNode.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE)
              strXml.append(childNode.getNodeValue());
          else
              print(childNode,strXml);
         strXml.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
         strXml.append("</" + elementName + ">");
}Hope this helps.

Hi i need to write the data from an XML file to a Microsoft SQL SErver database!
i got a piece of code from the net which allows me to parse th file:
import java.io.IOException;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.*;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser;
import java.lang.*;
public class MySaxParser extends DefaultHandler
private static int INDENT = 4;
private static String attList = "";
public static void main(String[] argv)
if (argv.length != 1)
System.out.println("Usage: java MySaxParser [URI]");
System.exit(0);
String uri = argv[0];
try
XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
MySaxParser MySaxParserInstance = new MySaxParser();
parser.setContentHandler(MySaxParserInstance);
parser.parse(uri);
catch(IOException ioe)
ioe.printStackTrace();
catch(SAXException saxe)
saxe.printStackTrace();
private int idx = 0;
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
throws SAXException
String s = new String(ch, start, length);
if (ch[0] == '\n')
return;
System.out.println(getIndent() + " Value: " + s);
public void endDocument() throws SAXException
idx -= INDENT;
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException
if (!attList.equals(""))
System.out.println(getIndent() + " Attributes: " + attList);
attList = "";
System.out.println(getIndent() + "end document");
idx -= INDENT;
public void startDocument() throws SAXException
idx += INDENT;
public void startElement(String uri,
String localName,
String qName,
Attributes attributes) throws SAXException
idx += INDENT;
System.out.println('\n' + getIndent() + "start element: " + localName);
if (localName.compareTo("Machine") == 0)
System.out.println("YES");
if (attributes.getLength() > 0)
idx += INDENT;
for (int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++)
attList = attList + attributes.getLocalName(i) + " = " + attributes.getValue(i);
if (i < (attributes.getLength() - 1))
attList = attList + ", ";
idx-= INDENT;
private String getIndent()
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < idx; i++)
sb.append(" ");
return sb.toString();
}// END PRGM
Now , am not a very good Java DEv. and i need to find a soln. to this prob within 1 week.
The next step is to write the data to the DB.
Am sending an example of my file:
<Start>
<Machine>
<Hostname> IPCServer </Hostname>
<HostID> 80c04499 </HostID>
<MachineType> sun4u [ID 466748 kern.info] Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz) </MachineType>
<CPU> UltraSPARC-IIi at 360 MHz </CPU>
<Memory> RAM : 512 MB </Memory>
<HostAdapter>
<HA> kern.info] </HA>
</HostAdapter>
<Harddisks>
<HD>
<HD1> c0t0d0 ctrl kern.info] target 0 lun 0 </HD1>
<HD2> ST38420A 8.2 GB </HD2>
</HD>
</Harddisks>
<GraphicCard> m64B : PCI PGX 8-bit +Accel. </GraphicCard>
<NetworkType> hme0 : Fast-Ethernet </NetworkType>
<EthernetAddress> 09:00:30:C1:34:90 </EthernetAddress>
<IPAddress> 149.51.23.140 </IPAddress>
</Machine>
</Start>
Note that i can have more than 1 machines (meaning that i have to loop thru the file to be able to write to the DB)
Cal u tellme what to do!
Even better- do u have a piece of code that will help me understand and implement the database writing portion?
I badly need help here.
THANX
