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.

LTRIM RTRIM not working for unicode char string in SQL 2005

select len(ltrim(rtrim('メタルワン IFR 12/06 13/05 国際Ⅰ ')))

Could you try by getting rid of other filters in the WHERE caluse ? get rid of the ;
AND Active_bt = 1 AND EngagementStatus_txt = 'O'
from the query and try .
As per one of the replies here, try to see if the space is really a space or some special character by checking its ascii value.
If this is not working, please share your schema structure, with scripts to populate the sample data into it. Please take a look at my test below ;
CREATE TABLE #test
(Eng_id INT,
EngagementId_txt NVARCHAR(90),
EngagementName_txt NVARCHAR(90),
EngagementStatus_txt NVARCHAR(1))
INSERT INTO #test
SELECT 20,'15614483','メタルワン IFR 12/06 13/05 国際Ⅰ ','O'
SELECT EngagementId_txt FROM #test
WHERE
EngagementId_txt = '15614483'
AND
ltrim(rtrim(CAST (EngagementName_txt AS NVARCHAR (90)))) =
ltrim(rtrim(CAST ('メタルワン IFR 12/06 13/05 国際Ⅰ' AS NVARCHAR (90))))
EngagementId_txt
15614483

WL 6.1 to 8.1 XSL Error SAX Exception, Could not parse xsl document

1)I have an application which is deployed and running successfully on WL6.1. The application uses lot of xsl style sheets. Parsers used were from xalan.jar and xerces.jar
2)Now, I am migrating it to WL8.1, the application is deployed on 8.1 but when I open the login(first page) it gives the following error:
====================
ABCD.xsl; Line 0; Column 0
XSL Error: Could not parse C:/src/xslsheets/ABC4.xsl document!
XSL Error: SAX Exception
====================
3)As the previous versions of WebLogic Server included the unmodified versions of the Xerces parser and Xalan transformer from www.apache.org in the WL_HOME\server\ext\xmlx.zip file. The ZIP file no longer includes these classes and interfaces in 8.1.
4)I understand it is the the Parser Exception and wud like to know the best possible way to solve this.
Thanks

How to parse/encode foreign chars in XML

I am sending a char string such as
y.x.x.x.y
except that the y is actually a "y" with a dot on top (german).
The remote server's parser complains and returns an exception.
They are using xerces.
What should they be doing to encode/parse such foreign chars
(german, french, chinese....)?
Should I be encoding this string before sending it? how?
Thanks.
-Mark Sabatini

Thanks for the reply.
I am sending the xml string such as
<tag>y.x.x.x.x.y</tag>
where y is the german char.
How do I convert this string value to unicode before sending?
Will the remote system see the same char? If not, doesn't that
defeat the purpose of sending a german char?
Does the remote parser need to encode/decode this too?
Thanks.
hi
I had a similar problem and i solved it by before the
parsing the xml, i converted all characters to
unicode.
Then the receiver who parses it in won't have
problems, although he will see another sign instead of
your character
hope this helps

Trouble with Unicode Chars

Hi all,
I am having trouble displaying Unicode chars both in an Applet and in the command prompt window. I am using awt. The characters I want to display are: \u2228, \u2283, \u2261. These characters display correctly from AppletViewer when I add them to ChoiceBoxes, they display correctly in some browsers (isn't Unicode fairly universal by now? Do most browsers support it?), but not correctly when I try to put them into a TextField, using this simple code:
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
if(e.getKeyChar() == '/') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2228');
if(e.getKeyChar() == '.') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2283');
System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
if(e.getKeyChar() == ',') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2261');
System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Er, forgot to mention, the chars display as either a
black bar, sort of a square, This happens when there is no suitable font for the codepoint, and the system doesn't know how to convert a codepoint to another codepoint for which there is a suitable font. The latter mechanism allow to use non-unicode fonts with unicode chars.
a question mark, That's possibly another issue. '?' usually appears while
converting chara�ter into bytes, specifically if an encoding doesn't have an appropriate rule for a particular character.
For example, the "Cp1251" encoding knows nothing of Greek characters, and so converts them into ?'s.
Such conversion may occur when a java string is passed
into a native window system, because such systems often are non-unicode.
and an equal signCompletely illegal behaviour, usually occurs in very old JVM's.
Note that Swing is always correct with unicode.
A relevant documentation is here:

and

How to include unicode chars in text boxes?

Hi,
We need the unicode chars (for example: Chinese, Korean, etc...) to appear in the generated .pdf and .pcl files from the Adobe Output designer's IFD file.
These chars are static and will not change, so we shall not be fetching them from FNF file (.dat).
While trying to copy-paste directly into text box field, we are getting an error prompting for converting them to some other character set.
We couldn't paste them exactly with the text how they should appear in the text boxes.
Please tell us if there is a way to achieve this.
Thanks and regards,
Gurunath
[email protected]

Double check that all of the selected presentation targets and the font being used for the particular text box supports the characters you are trying to paste into it. For example, the PDF target only has 11 fonts available unless you use the other tabs to "create new soft font cartidges". If you have the appropriate fonts installed on you PC you should be able to use this capability to make the font available for each of your presentation targets. (At least that is my impression - I've never needed to try it.)

SQL Developer & Unicode Chars

Running SQL Developer on Windows XP.
Tool looks good, just one thing, we have Japanese/Korean text (not much at the moment) in our Oracle 9i/Oracle 10g (AL32UTF8)
When I run the query in the sql editor, the chars appear as small rectangles.
Exporting this as XML and loading into an XML viewer (like IE), all the chars appear fine.
When I copy the text from the data results grid and paste into the sql editor window (after tweaking the prefs), the chars appear fine.
so I am wondering ... how can I get the text in the data grid to show the Japanese text ?
Is there a setting I have missed ? or would this be an enhancement ?
We will be storing more and more international chars and having a tool capable of viewing it would be something we have not found in other tools we have trialed.

In the Prefs -> Environment, ... set encoding to UTF-8
In the Prefs -> Code Editor -> Fonts ... set to "Arial Unicode MS"
Method 1 :
Open a SQL Worksheet
Tap in the sql, when executing the sql with the <F9> key, japanese text is displayed as small rectangles.
When I cut-and-paste the text into the window where the SQL Statement is typed in, I can see the Japanese chars.
Method 2 :
On the connections panel, goto "Other Users", navigate to the table that contains the unicode chars.
Double click on tablename in the left panel, this brings up a "toad like" display, the second tab is the "Data" tab,
and the unicode data is displayed as miniature rectangles.
I am unable to find a setting (in the Prefs) to set the font for the grid the data is displayed in

Sax XML Parser? URLDecoder.decode bad in applet? Explorer Browser jvm?

Ok, here it goes folks, I have a serious problem with Explorers jvm, I'm developing using jdk 1.3.1 to write swing applets, in anyevent little functions that I use will not work with Explorers Browser, for example, the Explorer JVM understands the Vector addElement function, but not the Vector add function? Also, It doesn't recognize the HashMap class? Ok, is there anyway to control the JVM used with Explorer? Ok, but here goes my real question?
I am writing an applet/servlet that interfaces with an oracle database. The data is returned in the form of xml. We are using the Sax XML parser interface. The parser code previously in the servlet(server side) and worked fine, but I've now moved the parsing code to the applet side, however, it seems to not want to work on the applet side. It simply hangs? I think it's a jvm issue, I've been getting many hangs with seemingly standard classes and methods, such as URLDecoder.decode(). Anyone else run into this problem using the Sax XML Parser, I have no idea what classes in the SAX Parser could be giving us a problems, or if that is even my issue. Anyone else using SAX XML parsing in an applet with Explorer 5.5. or 5.0, please let me know, if you've had issues?
Sorry, to be so long winded, and not explaining the problem very well.

First, get Sun's Java Plug-in from http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/index-1.4.html
and read up on how to make your browser use it instead.

JAXP: code works with JDK1.3.1/Xerces but not JDK1.4.1

Switching from JDK 1.3.1 with the Xerces XML parser to JDK 1.4.1 with its
bundled XML parser breaks my code. Here is the exception I am
seeing:
Exception in thread "main" com.post.bean.BeanException com.post.bean.Bea
nException: Relative URI "bean.dtd"; can not be resolved without a base URI.
at com.post.bean.BeanSerializer.deserialize(BeanSerializer.java:176)
at com.post.BeanSerializer1.deserialize(BeanSerializer1.java:38)
at com.post.BeanSerializer1.main(BeanSerializer1.java:17)
Here is a code fragment that worked fine with JDK1.3.1 and xerces but
not with JDK1.4.1:
public static Object deserialize(InputStream input, EntityResolver
resolver)
throws BeanException
Object bean = null;
try
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
if (resolver != null)
builder.setEntityResolver(resolver);
Document doc = builder.parse(input); // exception thrown here
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
The entity resolver I'm using searches for dtds in
a certain directory. Again this works fine with JDK1.3.1
and Xerces but not with JDK1.4.1.
Any ideas on how to remedy this situation?
Thanks

this generally happens when two similar libs conflict with each other. Try any of theses quick fixes: (Remember, 90% of probs in java are Classpath, packages and directory structure issues)
1. remove completely your previous version of JDK and Xerces.
2. Remove your classpath variable from system path.
3. Have "only the required" jar files during compilation. For this use the -D option.
4. If everything fails, download ANT. Write a simple build.xml file. This is a good replacement to the -D option. But make sure, you are working in a clean JDK environment. Try to monitor your classpaths at run time, and get rid of all the unnecessary once.
5. MAke sure that Xerces libs bundled with 1.4 are in your classpath at runtime.
Finally All the best, and happy XMLing+Javing !!

Could not parse xml on Weblogic!

Hello
My ear file have aldready deployed successfull on Oracle Appllication Server. And now I try deploy on weblogic but I reiceive the error could not parse xml file. I think It may be the problem with security in weblogic.

If any one have the same error on weblogic, please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Because this ear is ok in oracle apllication server.
the code here:
Digester digester = DigesterLoader.createDigester(rulesURL);
Object rootElement = null;
InputStream is = null;
try {
is = initURL.openStream();
//3. parse initialization file
try {
rootElement = digester.parse(is);
} catch (SAXException e) {
String msg = "Digester parse error! Message: " + e.getMessage();
log.error(msg, e);
throw e;
The error cause by rootElement = digester.parse(is);
So I think in weblogic not accept common-digester.jar to parse xml
Do you have any idea for this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Spry can not parse xml string

while designind an mvc architecutre in php I found display
data on site was slow so I generate a xml sheet an used spry Data
loading was fast an dproduced and I also performed many operations
like sorting ,galeery making ..etc... but main thing is that I can
not parse a xml string using spry only a xml file can be parsed
my application required to parse xml string

I'm not sure if this is valid in your situation, but OC4J comes with Oracle XMLParser.
Simply use the JAXP API to parse/build/modify XML and the Oracle XMLParser implementation will be used behind the scenes.
If you must use xerces/xalan, try putting the jars in OC4J_HOME/j2ee/home/lib instead.
