White spaces handling by WL DOM parser

hi,
Does anybody has some ideas about how to preserve white spaces if they
appear in the xml data. i tried xml:space='preserve' option but it do not
seems to work. I am using WL DOM parser.
/thanks Tapan

In case anybody is interested here is what I've been able to find...thanks to a little helpful book "XML and Java 2nd Edition" [Maruyama, Tamra, Uramoto, Murata, Clark]
Since I'm using a SAX parser the example doesn't really help. However the book references a DOM parser and uses a "getIsIgnorableWhitespace()" method which as my luck may have it is not available in SAX...
The book goes on to state there are two ways to tell an XML processor or an application if certain whitespace is significant:
1) "Define the significant whitespace in the content models in the DTD"
2) "Specify the xml:space="preserve" attribute in an XML document in order to indicate the intent that applications preservce all whitespace"
Can anybody elaborate on the above, especially #1 or even provide an example that would work with SAX. Thanks...

White space handling dbms_xmlstore.insertxml

Hi,
I have a question about white space handling.
I have a column in table which holds white space character.
When I loading xml file using dbms_xmlstore.insertxml white space is converted into NULL and inserted into table.
It would fail if the column type is not null.
How do I handle it?
======================================================
Alternatively, how do I insert a tag with only whitespace in it into a table?
<Tag> </Tag> [One whitespace]
To elaborate the question
If I have following data in xml file ...
=============================================
<Rowset>
<Row>
<Tag1> </Tag1>
<Tag2>1</Tag1>
</Row>
</Rowset>
I have to load this data into
table tab1...
create table tab1 (tag1 varchar2(5), tag2 number);
How do I achieve it using dbms_xmlstore so that I can read the whitespace in XML and load it correctly into the table?
========================================================================
To use an alternate approach, I also tried the following.....
I tried the following test program on the xml file also shown below....
XML File is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<SYS_NAME> a </SYS_NAME>
<SYS_SERIAL_NUM>000000</SYS_SERIAL_NUM>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
And small procedure is
create or replace procedure PRO_TEST
as
o_sys_name varchar(10);
spacetag varchar2(10) := ' ';
begin
--execute immediate 'create global temporary table gt_xmltype_tab1 (xmlfile1 xmltype)';
insert into gt_xmltype_tab(xmlfile1)
values(XMLType(bfilename('RESTOREDIR','ADTL_SETUP_OPTIONS.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
select extractvalue (value(x), '/ROW/SYS_NAME')
into o_sys_name
from gt_xmltype_tab gt, TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(gt.xmlfile1, '/ROWSET/ROW'))) x;
dbms_output.put_line('[' || o_sys_name || ']');
dbms_output.put_line('ASCII:- ' || ascii(o_sys_name));
if o_sys_name = ' ' then
--if o_sys_name = chr(32) then
dbms_output.put_line('I found space');
else
dbms_output.put_line('I found no space');
end if;
commit;
end;
When Tag is <sys_nam> </sys_name> I get [] in the output(empty).
When Tag is <sys_nam> a</sys_name> I get [ a] in the output(space and a).
When Tag is <sys_nam> a </sys_name> I get [ a ] in the output(space a space).
When I has some character along with the whitespace, behaviour is correct and as expected.
But when the tag contains only whitespace the output is empty.
I cant seem to get around this problem.
Upon receiving empty string, other sub systems which are reading the data stop working.
Can someone help here?

White space handling dbms_xmlstore.insertxmlYou may replace all whitespaces with its corresponding html entity:
SQL> create table test (v varchar2 (5))
Table created.
SQL> declare
ctx   sys.dbms_xmlstore.ctxtype := dbms_xmlstore.newcontext ('test');
doc   xmltype := xmltype(replace('<ROW><V> </V></ROW>',' ', '&#32;'));
ret   int;
begin
ret := dbms_xmlstore.insertxml (ctx, doc);
dbms_xmlstore.closecontext (ctx);
end;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select v, length (v), ascii(v) from test
V             LENGTH(V)        ASCII(V)
                      1              32

White spaces in XML element

Hi...
I need to put in an XML element the string value "      ", that is six white spaces, but when the XML parser interpets the document this value is transform like a null value.
Is there some way to preserve this value in the element?

Thanks for you replay Reddi,
Let me explain the scenario: The scenario is RFC --> XI --> JDBC, one of the element of the FM sometimes could be have the value "      ", when this occurrs in the SXMB_MONI TC I see the value null in the element, that is the tag is <Element />, in this case I need to preserve this white space in the element. The message could be something like this:
<root>
<element1>value 1</element1>
<element2>value 2</element2>
<element3>      </element3>
</root>
but I see the message in this form:
<root>
<element1>value 1</element1>
<element2>value 2</element2>
<element3 />
</root>
In the message mapping tool I assign the string value "      " and the problem still the same.
Any Idea?

Is there a white space problem? How do I get rid from this problem.

ok now i really wrote the whole code, a bit scrolling in the API is to hard?

Problem in parsing white spaces using if_ixml_parser

Hello People,
I have a problem in parsing XML file in one of my programs.
The program uses the method get_value( ) of class if_ixml_node to fetch a value. In the XML file when the value is spaceA, then after parsing, the value fetched is A and not spaceA.
Is there any way to fetch the white spaces also?
Here is the sample tag. The value inside the tags is " A" and after parsing I get "A" the blank is ignored.
<ns1:IndiceCible> A</ns1:IndiceCible>
DATA : l_node_fils       TYPE REF TO if_ixml_node.
indice_val = l_node_fils->get_value( ).
In some XML parsing forums I saw that if we add the option as shown below, then the parsing works properly. But this did not work in my case.
<ns1:IndiceCible xml:space="preserve"> A</ns1:IndiceCible>
The input XML file is as follows.

JmsAdapter DOM Parsing Exception handling

Hi,
I'm currently facing a problem with the behaviour of the Jms Adapter.
Whenever a JMS message is put in the queue and that message is not XML valid, the Jms Adapter (consumer) throw the exception "DOM Parsing Exception in translator Exception".
That's fine, I understand that the message was not well formed. But what is not fine is that the underlying BPEL is not instanciated : meaning I can't handle the exception properly.
Is there a way to force the Jms Adapter not to crash on the DOM Parsing for the BPEL to be instanciated (and then being able to handle the exception there) ?
Or is there a way to handle the error thrown by the Jms Adapter itself ? How ?
I think I do have a workaround to this if there is no better option (if both above questions cannot be answered) but I would rather not implement it since it will involve some extra steps / complexity.
> It would be to check the "native format opaque schema" option and then use a java embedded to decode the base64 into a string for eventually parsing it.

mathieu

Hi Mathieu,
The messages that error out before being posted to the service infrastructure are referred to as rejected messages. For example, the Oracle File Adapter selects a file having data in CSV format and tries to translate it to XML format (using NXSD). If there is any error in the translation, this message is rejected and are not be posted to the target composite.
You can create rejection handlers to handle message errors. Message errors include those that occur during translation, correlation ID mismatch and XML parsing after message reception.
Docs on how to do that are here...

White spaces are required between publicId and systemId

Hello,
I'm new to Java/XML and have been searching the XML forums for a viable answer trying to get around this error
"White spaces are required between publicId and systemId"
I'm a little unsure of this, however my understanding of this error is that "whitespace" must exist between my "tag entities". So I have modified my XML document to include white space between entities...below is a snippet of my XML doc
// Begin snippet...
<auth>
<userid>
12345
</userid>
<first>
first value
</first>
<second>
</second>
</auth>
//End snippetBelow is the fragment of code I use to set up and parse the XML parse
      SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
      //spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
      SAXParser saxParser = spf.newSAXParser();
      XMLReader parser = saxParser.getXMLReader();
      urlConnection = url.openConnection();
      in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
      ins = new InputSource( in );
      // create a handler
      Handler handler = new Handler();
      handler.setBVSessionData( bvdata );
      // assign the handler to the parser
      parser.setContentHandler(handler);
      parser.parse( ins ); // SAXException is thrown here...what gives??
//...In addition, I'm able to read the XML file fine if I point the URL to the XML file locally on my PC, however when the XML doc is served by a web server over HTTP, then read by my app, the SAXException is thrown. Any insight or examples is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In case anybody is interested here is what I've been able to find...thanks to a little helpful book "XML and Java 2nd Edition" [Maruyama, Tamra, Uramoto, Murata, Clark]
Since I'm using a SAX parser the example doesn't really help. However the book references a DOM parser and uses a "getIsIgnorableWhitespace()" method which as my luck may have it is not available in SAX...
The book goes on to state there are two ways to tell an XML processor or an application if certain whitespace is significant:
1) "Define the significant whitespace in the content models in the DTD"
2) "Specify the xml:space="preserve" attribute in an XML document in order to indicate the intent that applications preservce all whitespace"
Can anybody elaborate on the above, especially #1 or even provide an example that would work with SAX. Thanks...

Remove white space nodes from jtree

Org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White spaces are required between publicId

Hi,
Im migrating an application from weblogic to tomcat 5.5.23 with java 1.5. application involved PDF generation using xalan.jar for transformation. tht pdf generation part is not working in tomcat. Im getting a "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White spaces are required between public-Id and system id" error.
so i replaced the old xalan.jar with latest one ( xalan 2.7.1 ) still no use. I have also explicitly defined the property "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory" to "org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl" still getting the same exception.
plz help
Thanks in Advance.

Give <div class="container"> the same blue background color as your right side bar.
You'll notice in IE some of the spacing for the rest of your page is slightly larger than in Firefox (browsers do that a lot if you aren't very, very specific about sizes). Because of that, your side bar isn't long enough to fill in the space on that side and the background color of the "container" <div> shows through.

How can I maintain multiple white spaces in a PDF written from InDesign?

I need to have 2 white spaces maintained (within a part #) in the PDF I write, but when I open in Acrobat it converts it to one space.
I've tried word spaces, set spaces and applying "no color" to a placeholder character and nothing is working!
Any ideas or suggestions?

I am talking about normal white space. Multiple fixed widt spaces are not a problem. How the space is handled in a PDF depends on how it is created.

It may not be a great idea to use multiple spaces, but it certainly is not prohibited and sometimes is necessary -- you might want a 2em space, or a thin space before and after a tab you underline in a form.
I'm able to select the multiple spaces just fine in Acrobat 9 using the text touch-up tool.

Context change by DOM parsing Java Mapping in XI

Hi Team,
I would like to know that how can I handle Context Change by DOM Parser Java Mapping in XI.?
Suppose the source XML structure I have like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Header xmlns:ns0="urn:bp:xi:hr:edm:test:100">
   <FileName>
      <filesub>
         <subname>a</subname>
         <subname>b</subname>
         <subname>c</subname>
      </filesub>
   </FileName>
   <FileName>
      <filesub>
         <subname>d</subname>
         <subname>e</subname>
         <subname>f</subname>
      </filesub>
   </FileName>
</ns0:Header>
Where the field FileName can occur maximum thrice(0...3) but the subname field is (0....unbounded) but in the target source I would like to have as given below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MT_Test4 xmlns="urn:bp:xi:hr:edm:test:100">
- <Header>
<FileName>a</FileName>
<FileName1>d</FileName1>
    </Header>
- <Header>
<FileName>b</FileName>
<FileName1>e</FileName1>
   </Header>
Header>
<FileName>c</FileName>
<FileName1>f</FileName1>
   </Header>
</MT_Test4>
That means the first value from every context of the source field is forming my first and second value in my target first context.Thensecond value from every context is forming my 1st and 2nd value of my target 2nd context and finally 3rd value of every context is forming my 1st and 2nd value of my target 3rd context.Is this possible to done through DOM parsing or we have to do it by UDF only?

Hi Atanu,
    In my last post I gave an alogorithm to solve the mapping problem. Here is the complete program for the mapping.

Hope this helps
one more thing in this line "textChild=docOut.createTextNode(s k + j );"   somehow the the third braces one opening before k and one closing after j is missing for unknown reasons. Please correct it when you actually run this code.

Urgent Please Help::File size reduced after Dom Parsing

CODE
public class Domtest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
     String resDir = "c:\\res\\";
     Document doc = null;
     try{
     File docFileIn =new File("c:\\test\\test3.jdf");
     DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     dbf.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
     DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
     doc = db.parse(docFileIn);
     TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
     Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
     transformer.transform( new DOMSource(doc ),
     new StreamResult( new FileOutputStream(
     resDir+"response123.jdf") ) );
     catch(Exception e){}
1.file3.jdf is 35 kb
2.response123.jdf is 32 kb
File size is reduced .
thanks in advance.

Thanks very much
That was the reason .
I have noticed many white spaces in the file and ignore white spaces worked.

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.

Firefox 3 cannot download files with white space in the filename

When opening attachments in e-mail Firefox is unable to handle files with white space in the name. This is not the same as the white space file name truncation problem documented on this site (where file names with white space are truncated on saving.) The issue is that the browser will prompt to allow the file to be saved, but it will not prompt to open the file as an option. If I rename the file to remove white space then I do receive the "Open with..." dialog box. I verified that Firefox 2 did not have this problem and I can open attachments with white space in the file names just fine using that version of the browser (2.0.0.20).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Upgraded to version 3

When a user clicks on an attachment with spaces, the filename is truncated to the first whitespace. While IE, Chrome & Safari handle this, Firefox refuses to accept mime headers with unquoted filename parameters. According to Firefox's bugzilla/knowledgebase, Firefox's behavior is the correct behavior and it's a problem with most webservers or web applications. This problem can be easily corrected by surrounding the filename parameter with double quotes.
Eg.
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");
