Writing a XML file

Hello
I have a question regarding XML.
First of all, i have a simple Java application. It reads from a text file. The values are comma separated.
James;54;painter
Anna;20;teacher
Joe;32;driverSo my java app creates 3 objects which contain above mentioned information (name, age, occupation).
Now i need to create a XML file using that same application and it should also hold the above mentioned information . Standard Java API's are allowed.
Which are my options? How i start? Any hints (besides "search from google)?
Best Regards

The SAX parser won't help you in creating XML docs -- only parsing.
Typically people simply write the XML tags themselves, e.g.:
String xmlOut = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>" + "<myclass><name>" + anObj.getName() + "</name></myclass>";
Axis2 has some methods for generating XML from specially created objects, but it is a lot of work. I hear XMLBeans also has some methods for this, also a lot of work. Which is why most people fall back to the not very elegant method above.

Writing an XML file using a Servlet

Hello, I'm trying to code a servlet that receives a POST from a HTTP and output its data to a XML file, the problem is that I get the following error:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:8080/XMLSender/xmlsend'.
I don't know what happens, because I'm NOT trying to show the content, just to save it, I post my code here so anyone can help me, please. Thanks in advance.
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class xmlsender extends HttpServlet
public void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
ServletOutputStream salida = res.getOutputStream();
res.setContentType("text/xml");
String cadenanumero = req.getParameter("numero");
String cadenaoperadora = req.getParameter("operadora");
String cadenabody = req.getParameter("mensaje");
String cadenashortcode = req.getParameter("shortcode");
File f1 = new File("salida.xml");
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(f1);
writer.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
writer.write("<root>");
writer.write("<tlf>" + cadenanumero + "</tlf>");
writer.write("<op>" + cadenaoperadora + "</op>");
writer.write("<sc>" + cadenashortcode + "</sc>");
writer.write("<body>" + cadenabody + "</body>");
writer.write("</root>");
writer.close();
}

Yes, in fact what I want is the file to be in the server, now, I modificated my code to the following:
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class xmlsender extends HttpServlet
public void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
ServletOutputStream salida = res.getOutputStream();
res.setContentType("text/HTML");
String cadenanumero = req.getParameter("numero");
String cadenaoperadora = req.getParameter("operadora");
String cadenabody = req.getParameter("mensaje");
String cadenashortcode = req.getParameter("shortcode");
File f1 = new File ("salida.xml");
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(f1);
/*salida.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
salida.println("<root>");
salida.println("<tlf>" + cadenanumero + "</tlf>");
salida.println("<op>" + cadenaoperadora + "</op>");
salida.println("<sc>" + cadenashortcode + "</sc>");
salida.println("<body>" + cadenabody + "</body>");
salida.println("</root>"); */
salida.println("Finalizado");
f1.createNewFile();
writer.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
writer.write("<root>");
writer.write("<tlf>" + cadenanumero + "</tlf>");
writer.write("<op>" + cadenaoperadora + "</op>");
writer.write("<sc>" + cadenashortcode + "</sc>");
writer.write("<body>" + cadenabody + "</body>");
writer.write("</root>");
writer.close();
It still do not create my file "salida.xml", still don't know why. Any help is welcome.

Writing an XML file from JSP

Hi
for some this question will seem to be a stupid, but i am really confused how can i write an XML file from with in JSP code. should i have to use same FileOutPutStream.
Actually i am trying to make reports using Jasper api. It demands for an XML file which will then b converted into PDF file. Can any one help me in it.

Jasper converts a JSP into a servlet - and cannot be used to generate PDFs.
Assuming this is for a web application I would
1. Generate the XML
2. Generate the PDF from the XML
3. Send the PDF to the client from a servlet (i.e. forget the JSP).
Step 2 is actually quite complicated - you could do this manually with the IText API (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) or use an XSL approach with Apache FOP (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/)

Writing to XML files need help

Guys,
I need to pull out data from the database and write it to multiple flat files in XML.
I can't do it on the database server using utl_file, I need to do it on the client.
Can you tell me the best way to achieve it.
I am giving you a sample plsql that we have built.
I have to create one file for each deptno.
Your values suggestions/inputs would be appreciated.
Dhiren
declare
queryCtx dbms_xmlquery.ctxType;
cursor c1 is select * from dept;
result clob;
begin
for c1rec in c1
loop
queryCtx := DBMS_XMLquery.newContext('select .... from emp where deptno = c1.deptno');
result := DBMS_XMLquery.getXML(queryctx);
DBMS_XMLquery.closecontext(queryctx);
end loop;
end;

use the above pl/sql to generate xml.
next step would be to create a folder on the xmldb repository.
this has to be done with SYS user.
DECLARE
l_success      BOOLEAN := FALSE;
l_resourceURL resource_view.any_path%TYPE := '/public/scott';
BEGIN
IF (NOT DBMS_XDB.EXISTSRESOURCE(l_resourceURL)) THEN
     l_success := DBMS_XDB.CREATEFOLDER(l_resourceURL);
     COMMIT;
END IF;
END;
/so now you have your folder as /public/scott under which you can create resources.
resources in XMLDB is nothing but files.
so the generated xml can be saved as xml file under the above path.
to create a resource, you need xmldata and the resource name.
eg.
dbms_xdb.createresource('/public/scott/myxml.xml', l_xml_data);
commit;
now you can ftp the resource to the client,
open <server name> 2100
user scott tiger
get /public/scott/myxml.xml c:\temp\myxml.xml
close
bye
that's it.
good luck.
check the port of the ftp . normally by default it is 2100 unless it is changed by your admin,

ITunes not writing valid XML file

I've been having trouble with my iTunes library being seen by anything other than itunes (iPhoto, iLike etc) and the problem is with the XML file. If i try to open the xml file in BBEdit i get an error that says:
*Incorrectly formed UTF-8*
The UTF-8 File "iTunes Music Library.xml" is damaged or
incorrectly formed; please proceed with caution.
So I dump it and force iTunes to create a fresh copy, but that has the same problems.
If I put an old copy of the XML file (from a few months back) into the iTunes folder, then all the other iApps can see an iTunes library and interact with it, but as soon as iTunes updates the file it becomes unusable again.
The XML file is 30.5MB.
Does anyone have even the slightest idea why iTunes is producing an unusable XML file all the time? Could it be something to do with the size of the file? Or could it be something that's appeared in my library over the past few months that's messing up the xml file?
Any and all comments/suggestion would be greatly appreciated as i'm running out of hair to pull out

Ok, I ran the rest through my parser, and there is (only) one other broken spot. It's on "Donde Liesta Usc (La Boheme)" Also the file location tag. (Shown as "where" in the summary tab of the info window in iTunes.) Deleting and re-adding this track as well as "Need You Tonight" should cause iTunes to correct those location tags and completely solve the problem by eliminating the character encodings that are illegal for utf-8. Both tracks should then also become playable again.

Writing xml file, midp, kxml - any ideas?

Hello,
Does any have sample code of writing an XML file with kXML or a similar tool?
I'm getting confused with OutputWriter being abstract/DataOutputWriters not working.
My code as follows is fairly non-existent..
OutputStream out = "test.xml"; // this errors with incompatible type (obviously) but what needs to go here?
XmlWriter fxml = new XmlWriter(out);
thanks in advance
poncenby

OutputStream out = "test.xml"this cant work. the latter is a string and the former an OutputStream.
yeah, thats pretty strange with the input and output of kXML. What you have to do is:
1) write a class, that extends the java.io.OutputStream. To do this, you have to implement all abstract methods of this (afaik write(byte))
2) this class can you pass to the XmlWriter. The most simple way of writing the bytes is to append it to a string, which you reference afterwards.
public class MyOutputStream extends OutputStream
public String output = "";
public void write(int b)
output += (char)b;
}then write the stuff out and get the output of your OutputStream class. For writing this to a file (whichis not possible with J2ME, you have to some file handling in your OutputStream, like opening, appending and closing)
Note: this works only, if the content consists of characters. If you want to write binary data, this will get corrupt, since the cast to char transforms this binaries to characters. The reverse is (afaik) not possible.

Writing XML file using javax.xml package

I am writing an XML file with the foll piece of code:
public static void writeXmlFile(Document doc, String filename) {
try {
// Prepare the DOM document for writing
Source source = new DOMSource(doc);
// Prepare the output file
File file = new File(filename);
Result result = new StreamResult(file);
// Write the DOM document to the file
Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
xformer.transform(source, result);
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
} catch (TransformerException e) {
In this case above, the whole Document has to be passed to create a new DOMSource. is there any way where in I can pass the individual Nodes to the DOMSource ?
I want the Nodes to be written one by one as writing the whole document is giving me a OutOfMemoryError (I have about a million records to be written in the XML file).
Any help would be greatly appreciated

How do i add a newline or carriage return to make my xml file look pretty?

Hi guys
I'm writing an xml file with jsp, the problem is, it writes it in one big chunk of text. e.g.
<start>hello, my name is joe</start><middle>I like trees</middle><end>boo</end>
Now what I want to do is present this xml file in a decent manner,
e.g.
<start>hello my name is joe</start>
<middle>i like trees</middle>
<end>boo</end>
i've tried
xmlFile = "<start>Hello my name is joe</start>"+\n\r;
and
xmlFile ="<start>Hello my name is joe</start>"+"\n\r";
neither work, can anyone provide me with some insight into how I can add a carriage return / new line to make my xml file look pretty?
Many thanks for any responses!

Error while extracting XML file from the application server

Hi ,
I am writing a XML file into the application server, after which when i try to extract the file to the local server using the report - RFASLDPC ,
the file is extracted, but with a '#' symbol at the first position.
Because of which the XML File does not open. But after i open the file in notepad and manually delete the '#' symbol and then reopen the file, it works fine.
Is there any way to remove the '#' symbol while extracting itself ??
Thanks in advance,
Vikas.

Select the option "No Character Set Conversion" in stead of Code page 1100.
However, I still have troubles -> the downloaded xml file misses a space on several places. This causes errors too.

Reading an XML file and write the contents to another xml file in java

Hi,
I am new to xml parsing.My requirement is that I am getting a message (xml) using ibm MQ in the ByteArrayInputStream format.I have to read this xml message and write to another file.
I am creating a POC for this.
First I used simple reading and writing concept but the output is "java.io.FileInputStream@3e25a5 "
Sample xml file

          ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(currentXMLBytes);
          OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("C:\\soft\\test\\data.xml");
          int read=0;
          byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
          while((read = byteArrayInputStream.read(bytes))!= -1){
          out.write(bytes, 0, read);
          out.write( '\n' );
          inputStream.close();
          out.flush();
          out.close();
          System.out.println("New file created!");
Please suggest me how can I use DOM/SAX parser ,I can see several code on net for reading xml file using SAX/DOM parser but writing an xml file after reading it using ByteArrayInputStream I am not getting .A help through some example Link will also be helpful for me.

File Receiver Adapter:Can't write a large xml file completely

Hi Folks
I am doing an IDOC - Xi - FILE scenario where i am writing the xml file as it is onto XI directory.
The problem i m facing is - the adapter does not write complete file. If i check from AL11 the file i am getting is not exceeding length 660.
I am not using any content conversion because my requirement is to save xml file as it is.
This is how it is getting saved:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

                    <Total>7</Total>
                    <Gross>1000</Gross>
i.e. some tags of <Line> are missing and then closing tags are also missing.
Could anyone please help how to extend the length.
Thanks

I saved the file to .htm from AL11 and saw that this much of the file is getting saved.
also if i goto communication channel monitoring i could see that in the MESSAGE DISPLAY TOOL it shows

Using JSP / Java to write/create an xml file

I have been looking around the internet and in my books and I cannot find a good example of JAVA/JSP writing an XML file. I already have a recursive method that will generate the xml .. what's missing in my code now is how am i goin to append or write that xml string into an existing file..
suppose i have this xml string
String xmlString = "<?xml version="1.0"?><txn><test>this is just a test</test></txn>";
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutPutStream(C://files/sample.xml);
now , how i will write the xmlString into sample.xml file...
Any suggestions/ ideas/ tutorial links would be deeply appreciated.. thx!

never mind.. my code is workin now..

Procedure for read/write an XML-File using UCCX9

Hi Team!
Is there someone who can explain me the procedure of reading/writing an XML-File using Cisco UCCX Rel. 9.0?
In the last couple of days I did a lot of research on the partner community as well as reading the CRS-Editor-PDFs.
But I can’t find a solution.
There are some templates available but they all didn’t seem to work.
I have two xml-files, both uploaded to “Document Management\en_us\”.
The script itself is attached to this posting.
I build that my script according to a sample script I found in the community.
From my point of view I have configured my script exactly like the sample script.
But it still doesn’t work.
I am especially interested in where to store the the appropriate files.
I would be very happy if there is someone who can explain me, what’s wrong there.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Michael

I'm experiencing the same issue [reading XML causes errors that say things from "no such file" to some odd Java exception.] I'm able to use a template XML file and after authenticating a user, transform the template into a proper XML file and then successfully save it to the en_US Doc Repository with updated values.
However, no matter what I've tried or who I've asked, the READ on the XML file so that I can actually script something that does some routing based on the value of the XML file created in my first script? Ultra fail.
I've even worked with three separate TAC IPCC engineers who were able to reproduce the issue in their test environment, but they were unable to assist. Eventually, whe pressed, I received this response from the last IPCC engineer.:
"Hello Brad,
Yes I know what I provided you with is what you already have achieved and this missing step is precisely what you need: how to setup the script to check the status and value of this XML document and then decide routing according to the state. But unfortunately this is what I found internally. The other resources are the ones you already know: support forums, scripting guides. The other resource with suggest to customer looking for script assistance is the Cisco Account Manager of your company, they know where to get the resources for such issues. Then again as I mentioned before on our phone conversation TAC does not support scripting but certainly if I find something else on my side I will let you know for sure."
I would do ponderous cartwheels of joy if someone who has this working in version 9.x [9.0.2 specifically] could share the deep magic.

Permission Denied error generating XML file

We’re using ODI to write out files to a Windows CIFS file system through an agent installed on the ODI Unix server. In order to do this, we had to create the agent using a user ID that had permission to write to the Windows file system. For writing out flat files, this worked great; we have no problems at all.
However, for writing out XML files to the file system, we’re getting an error that says Permission Denied. We do NOT get the error if we write the XML to a Unix directory, only if we attempt to write it to the CIFS file system. I have two questions:
1. Is ODI able to execute against a Windows CIFS file system from UNIX to generate XML files?
2. If so, is there a list of permissions required on the fileshare that the ODI needs to generate the XML?
Below is the exact error we’re getting:
0 : null : java.sql.SQLException: Could not save the file /mdm_conversion/TST/2.lsm because a class java.io.IOException occurred and said: Permission denied
Has anyone ever performed something like this or encountered a similar problem?

Hi,
I found the issue and corrected it. :)
This was happened only because of the Version problem of Report Builder with Oracle Applications.
Reports Builder 10g is not compatiblie with Oracle Applications 11.5.10.
Oracle 11.5+ will always expect the RDF from Reports 6i version. Because of this, the endocing was damaged.
You can observe in the earlier post as encoding="&Endoding". Here +&Encoding should be replaced by some encoding mechanism like "UTF-8".+
Finally corrected the version and got the Output as expected.
Thanks !
