Xerces C++ Parser Library

Hello everybody. I want to learn two simple issues. If you answer, it will be very nice of you.
1) I try to develop an application on a Sun workstation having a sparc processor. It runs SunOS 5.9. The IDE that I use is Sun ONE Studio 4 update 1 Enterprise Edition for Java (Build 020923) IDE/1
spec=1.43.3.1 impl=020923. I use C++ programming language (with the relevant Compiler Collection of Sun). In order to parse XML files, I plan to use Xerces C++ Parser Library. Apache web site says that this library has been developed with Forte C++ Version 6 Update 2 on Solaris 2.7. Will I encounter any incompatibility problems?
2) Which distribution of Xerces-C++ must I download? Binary or source...
3) Apache web site ( http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build-winunix.html#UNIX ) says that "Xerces-C++ uses GNU tools like Autoconf and GNU Make to build the system." These tools are used to generate a Makefile to build a XML parser executable. But, Sun One Studio already has a tool to build Makefile. Do I really need to use those GNU tools?
4) I've tried to build a Makefile for Xerces C++ applications. During building Makefile in "Directories to search for include files" window, I've added the directories which reside under /include/xercesc. In "Libraries (filenames and directories) to link with" window, I've added the files residing under lib directory which are libxerces-c.so, libxerces-c.so.25 and libxerces-c.so.25.0. But, at compile time I encounter errors, since I couldn't include the relevant .hpp files successfully.
Thanks in advance & Regards

The error message file lpxus.msg has a detailed explanation:
00252, 00000, "invalid entity replacement-text nesting"
// *Cause: Markup included from an entity must nest/group properly, that
// is, open/close markup must occur within the same entity.
// For example,
// <!DOCTYPE doc [ <!ENTITY e "</foo><foo>"> ]>
// <doc><foo>&e;</foo></doc>
// Is invalid since foo's start-tag occurs in the top-level
// document, but the close-tag is provided by the "e" entity.
// Both start and end must be provided by the same source.
// *Action: Stay away from tricky nonsense such as the above, it's
// not permitted.

Is it possible to configure CF10 or CF11 to use Xerces XML parser instead of Saxon XML parser?

Could anyone tell me if it is possible to configure CF10 or CF 11 to use the older Xerces XML parser instead of the Saxon XML parser.
I am in the process of migrating a website from CF8 to CF11. Several sections rely on XML transformation, which no longer work in CF11. After investigating the problem it seems to be that the Saxon Parser is more strict, causing these errors.

Well I guess Parsers would be better solution. As u said u need to insert node at specific location.
so now u have to decide which parser u need to choose according to u r requirmnet. DOM or SAX maily.
Both has adv and di-advs.

Need Some help on Xerces c Parser installation

Hi,
I have downloaded Binary distribution of Xerces c parser for Solaris.Here we need to set the below path for the installation :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$XERCESCROOT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on Solaris, Linux)
But there is no $XERCESCROOT in the extracted folder.SO do we need to define it?If so how to define it?

Hi
When you try to install crystal reports server XI R2, then you need to install designer additionally.
By default we wont get developer version with crystal server.
We need to get a developer version and install it on the server machine.
Here is the link to down load crystal reports XI R2 with trial version for 30 days.
http://www.businessobjects.com/forms/datasave2.asp?c=cr_sp2
If you have the valid license key then you can get the entire product.
Also you can go with Server installation rather then client installation.
In server installation you will get all repository items will be installed like cmc,ccm,businessview manger, etc.
Regards,
Naveen.

Xerces-J Parser Problems

Hi, im knew to Java and r currently studying XML. I installed the Java 2 SDK - which went fine & the book told me to install Xerces-J Parser. I followed instructions, i.e setting classpath and path in autoexec.bat, but when i want to test it - it says NoClassDefFoundError...
The book told me to change to xerces directory and then typing in java sax.SAXCount data/personal.xml - v.
Also, the book uses Xerces-1_2_3 & im using Xerces-1_4_4. Can i just ignore this & continue or will i have problems with other stuff as well?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Never mind - fixed it myself :)

Is there a way to use a progress bar with Xerces XML Parser?

My program is parsing very long XML files that take several minutes to parse. I am using Xerces as the parser. I would like to use a progress bar to show the progress, but I haven't found any way to get Xerces to give progress updates. Is this possible?

Use teh SAX parser and listen to SAX events. Example:

* to read the XML into a DOM document and perform XPath commands. DOM is easier to handle but has

Plisp: Lisp/S-expression parser library

Plisp is a C library for parsing Lisp/S-expressions. I wrote it because I got massively sick of writing the same code every time I wanted to parse a text file.
I'd like some testers/users for this. It suits *my* needs, but I'm not too good at accommodating other people's. Do give it a try.
Installation:
I decided to mix it up and use Mercurial instead of Git. I'm liking the change.
AUR package is here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35422
hg clone URI (also web view): http://peasantoid.org:1024/plisp
Manual installation:
$ root=/path/to/root_directory ./make install
Documentation:
Sorely lacking. I will attempt to write some of this later; in the meantime, look at the source (particularly header files) and everything in test/.
Technical details:
Text is processed in two stages. The first, tokenization, iterates through the text looking for 'simple' tokens (left/right parentheses, quotes, numbers, strings, symbols, etc.). The second, parsing, iterates through the token list and converts it to a parse tree.
POSIX ERE (extended regular expressions) are used for tokenization. Seriously, this is really handy. $(man 3 regex) for details.
Linked lists are heavily relied upon.
Note that numbers are just stored as strings. It's up to the programmer to change those to actual numbers (f.e. strtol(), strtod()).
Testing:
The distribution includes a simple syntax-dumper utility that takes data from stdin, parses it, and formats the resulting syntax tree to stdout. My terminal transcript follows:
narch plisp -> ./make test && build/test/dump
---[RUN test (lib)]
---[RUN lib (obj)]
---[RUN obj ()]
build/obj/error.o
build/obj/escape.o
build/obj/init.o
build/obj/list.o
build/obj/parser.o
build/obj/tokenizer.o
---[END obj]
build/libplisp.so
build/libplisp.a
build/include/*.h
---[END lib]
build/test/dump
---[END test]
(foo '("bar") `(3.456 ,(baz 4 5)))

1:1 list: ...
1:2 symbol: foo
1:7 list (quoting: '): ...
1:8 string: bar
1:16 list (quoting: `): ...
1:17 real: 3.456
1:20 list (quoting: ,): ...
1:21 symbol: baz
1:25 integer: 4
1:27 integer: 5
Tested by/on:
me: Arch 64-bit (x86_64 Intel Core 2 Duo (Apple MacBook3,1))
me: Arch 64-bit (x86_64 Intel Xeon (Xen))
me: ArchPPC (32-bit PowerPC processor (Apple Mac Mini G4))
If you test this, please post your architecture and processor type. I really hate those insidious system-specific bugs.

I've encountered this before, it's one of those things that make you go "huh?". Nice work on getting the math module done
As a suggestion, it would be useful to have a module which allows loading and running arbitrary functions from shared libraries, although I'm not too sure where to start with implementing this, I think there is a library around that allows you to do this fairly easily, but I can't seem to find it right now. But as a relatively new scripting language something like this would make it easier to interact to common libraries while other modules are still being written.
Edit: Obviously I was searching for the wrong thing, what I'm talking about is a foreign function interface

I want to parse xml files with Sun Studio C++ in Solaris9
If the SUWNlxml package was installed, is it possible?
If it is not, Should I install another software separately?
---Example of xml file---

Parsing an xml file using xerces DOM parser

Hi
I want to parse a simple xml file using DOM parser.
The file is
<Item>
     <SubItem>
          <title>SubItem0</title>
          <attr1>0</attr1>
          <attr2>0</attr2>
          <attr3>0</attr3>
     </SubItem>
     <SubItem>
          <title>SubItem1</title>
          <attr1>1</attr1>
          <attr2>0</attr2>
          <attr3>0</attr3>
     </SubItem>
     <SubItem>
          <title>SubItem2</title>
          <attr1>1</attr1>
          <attr2>1</attr2>
          <attr3>0</attr3>
          <SubItem>
               <title>SubItem20</title>
               <attr1>2</attr1>
               <attr2>1</attr2>
               <attr3>0</attr3>
          </SubItem>
          <SubItem>
               <title>SubItem21</title>
               <attr1>1</attr1>
               <attr2>1</attr2>
               <attr3>0</attr3>
          </SubItem>
     </SubItem>
</Item>
I just want to parse this file and want to store the values in desired datastructures,
I am trying using DOM parser, since it gives a tree structure, which is ok in this case.
public void init()
          InputReader ir     =new InputReader("Habsys");
          Document      doc     =ir.read("Habitat");
          System.out.println(doc);
          traverse(doc);
private void traverse(Document idoc)
          NodeList lchildren=idoc.getElementsByTagName("SubItem");
          for(int i=0;i<lchildren.getLength();i++)
               String lgstr=lchildren.item(i).getNodeName();
               if(lgstr.equals("SubItem"))
                    traverse(lchildren.item(i));
private void traverse (Node node) {
int type = node.getNodeType();
if (type == Node.ELEMENT_NODE)
System.out.println ("Name :"+node.getNodeName());
if(!node.hasChildNodes())
System.out.println ("Value :"+node.getNodeValue());
NodeList children = node.getChildNodes();
if (children != null) {
for (int i=0; i< children.getLength(); i++)
traverse (children.item(i));
But I am not getting required results, a lot of values I am getting as null
Could anybody tell me how to retrieve the data from the xml file, I simply want to read data and store it in data structures. For eg, for tag Subitem with title as ' SubItem1' has attr1 as '1', attr2 as'0' and attr3 as '0'.
Thanks
Gaurav

Command line arguments C++ parsing library [SOLVED]

Hi,
i'm looking for such a library. Requrements:
1. usage/flag list generaton
2. support of -s and --long flags
3. simpliciry of use
4. support of optional and mandatory flags
5, support of flagw with/without arguments (-f, -f 123)
6. code free to use in commerical usage too
7. C++ (!++!)
Any suggestions/reccomendations?
Thanks a lot

Boost is the de-facto standard for stuff like this. Take a look at boost::program_options

Xerces Java Parser 1.4.4 installation

I tried to install Xerces because I process an XSLT stylesheet.
I installed the latest java 6.0.
In the xerces instructions it says to process these two command line instructions and the first one didn't work.
-- installing instructions----
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/cvspublic
login
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/cvspublic
checkout -d xerces1 -r xercesj1 xml-xerces
Maybe it doesn't know the path to unwrap Xerces? It is on my desktop.
In any case, I got the error message below:
----error msg----
Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]

where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command

what should I do? thanks,

I couldn't figure out what is the difference between the jre 6.0 and the J2SE 5.0 which is already on my Mac. However I think the java works okay because I set the path environment variable and the javac command works.
path="/usr/mike/j2se5.0/bin:$PATH"
I still need to know how to install xerces.
thanks,

How to use Xerces parser in my code

Hello all,
This is my first time in the forumn. I am a beginer to xml. I am trying to use xerces SAX parser to parse the xml document. I have downloaded xerces 2.6.2 in the c drive. Can you please guide me how can I use it in my piece of code and how to execute. I tried using the parser available on my system. This code works fine. But I am confused with how can modify my code to parse using Xerces parser.
Help appreciated!
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;//This class creates instances of SAX parser factory
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;//factory returns the SAXParser
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;//if the parser configuration does not match throws exception
/*2 statements can be substituted by import org.xml.sax.*;
     This has interfaces we use for SAX Parsers.

import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;

import java.util.*;
public class CallSAX_18 {
     public static void main (String []args)
               throws SAXException,
               ParserConfigurationException
               IOException {
     /*     3 statement below can be substitued by this below 1 statement when using other parser
XMLReader xmlReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
          SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
          SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
          XMLReader xmlReader = saxParser.getXMLReader();
          /*/MyContentHandler has callback methods that the SAX parser will use.This class implements startElement() endElement() etc methods.
          DBContentHandler dbcontent = new DBContentHandler();
          xmlReader.setContentHandler(dbcontent);
          xmlReader.parse(new File(args[0]).toURL().toString());

Well, I am not too familiar with SAX, but I know my DOMs 8-)
is there a reason you are using SAX to parse versus DOM?
what is your final objective that you want to accomplish? Perhaps
DOM might be better? Are you trying to parsing XML into nodes?

Question About Xerces Parser and Java JAXP

Hi,
I have confusion about both of these API Xerces Parser and Java JAXP ,
Please tell me both are used for same purpose like parsing xml document and one is by Apache and one is by sun ?
And both can parse in SAX, or DOM model ?
Is there any difference in performane if i use xerces in my program rather then JAXP, or is ther any other glance at all.
Please suggest some thing i have and xml document and i want to parse it.
Thanks

Hi
Xerces is Apaches implementation of W3C Dom specifiacation.
JAXP is a API for XML parsing its not implementation.
Sun ships a default implementation for JAXP.
you have factory methods for selecting a parser at run time or you can set in some config file about what is the implementaion class for the SAXParser is to be chosen (typically you give give the class file of xerces sax parser or dom parser etc..)
go to IBM Developerworks site and serch for Xerces parser config. which have a good explination of how to do it.
and browse through j2ee api .may find how to do it.

Xerces Sax not parsing a Unicode char

My SaxParser (xerces) is failing when parsing, complaining about Unicode: 0x1d.
I am reading from a file (InputSource), and have set the encoding to UTF-8.
Is there any way to not parse data in specified xml elements? Without explicitly escaping the illegal character....
Thanks,
Karen

Having performed some research, I discovered that this is a control character and while it is an acceptable Unicode character, it is not a valid UTF-8 character.
Control characters are in the range U+0000....U+001F, and most of them are written out as '?'. 0x1d(Group Separator), however, is not escaped and therefore Xerces cannot parse it.
I have written a util class that escapes control chars in Unicode.
Thanks.

As our application uses AXIS to do WebServices, we have removed the default oracle xml shared library by using remove-inherited in orion-application.xml. In addition, we package our own xerces in our application ear file. It looks like PDK is looking for oracle xml parser resulting in the NoClassDefFoundError exception.
The above exception is thrown if I access the JDPK provider URL after accessing our application.
However, if I restart the OC4J and ccess the JPDK provider URL without accessing our application, I get the following error
