XML Parser Error in SQL*Plus

I'm getting this error when I try to run the DOMSample:
SQL> exec domsample('d:\utlfiledir', 'family.xml', 'errs.out' )
BEGIN domsample('d:\utlfiledir', 'family.xml', 'errs.out' ); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29540: class oracle/xml/parser/plsql/XMLParserCover does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.XMLPARSERCOVER", line 0
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.XMLPARSER", line 57
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.DOMSAMPLE", line 72
ORA-06512: at line 1
I get the same thing with the xslsample. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Ok. I've narrowed this down some. The package XMLPARSERCOVER is invalid. I recompile it, and XMLPARSER is invalidated, I rocompile that, my dom and xsl sample procedures are invalidated. Allrighty, I recompile them. Using a select from user objects, I know that now everything is valid. I run my sample and it errors out with the first message again. Guess what, XMLPARSERCOVER is now invalid. Any ideas about this?
Thanks,

XML Parsing error in PL/SQL

Hello,
I have some problem in parsing Mircrosoft OpenXML file using Oracle 10g Release2 XML Parser for PL/SQL.
I use dbms_xmlparser, dbms_xmldom, dbms_xslprocessor packages
OpenXML file use "w:" as namespace, so every element has prefix "w:" like
<w:wordDocument ..>
<w:body..>
<w:p..>
<w:r..>
<w:t..>
My job is to read OpenXML file inside PL/SQL code, parse it, and load it into the corresponding table.
Here is my PL/SQL code.
DECLARE
doc dbms_xmldom.DOMDocument;
node_list dbms_xmldom.DOMNodeList;
l_node dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
one_element dbms_xmldom.DOMElement;
PROCEDURE p (msg VARCHAR2, nl BOOLEAN := TRUE) IS
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line (msg);
IF nl THEN dbms_output.put(CHR(10)); END IF;
END:
BEGIN
doc := xml.parse(BFileName('XML_DIR','OpenXMLFile.xml'));
node_list := xpath.selectNodes(doc, '/w:wordDocument/w:body/w:p/w:r/w:t');
FOR j IN 0..dbms_xmldom.getLength(node_list)-1
LOOP
p( xpath.valueOf(dbms_xmldom.item(node_list, j), '.'), nl=>FALSE );
END LOOP;
Here is the error message.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00601: Invalid token in: '/w:wordDocument/w:body/w:p/w:r/w:t

ORA-06512: at "SYSTEM.XPATH", line 179
ORA-06512: at line 38
I really don't know why I got this error message nor how to solve it. If I remove "w:" manually within open xml file, then parsing works well. I guess XML parser for PL/SQL doesn't recognize ":" or maybe doesn't support namespace?
My question is
1. In oracle 10g release2, XML Parser for PL/SQL can recognize ":" in the element name? or does it support namespace? If not, is there any workaround for solving this problem?
2. How can I make XML Parser recognize ":" in the element name in the xml file or How can I declare namespace in the PL/SQL code so that PL/SQL xml parser can recognize namespace like "w:"?
In fact, I don't use XML DB and what I want to do is just to load XML file into the relational table and some parts of whole XML file will be inserted into the CLOB in the table.
Should I really use XML DB to do the above job?
Any comment or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

This works correctly. I added prefixes to your extract path. (I had to add the xmlns:xsi to your root node also.)
declare
-- Local variables here
   doc_in       dbms_xmldom.DOMDocument;
   aNodeList    dbms_xmldom.DOMNodeList;
begin
-- Test statements here
doc_in := dbms_xmldom.newdomdocument(
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' ||
'<ap:Collection xmlns:ap="http://www.abc.com/ap" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.abc.com/ap template.xsd"> ' ||
'<ap:info>' ||
'<ap:data name="Barbie" age="3">' ||
'</ap:data>' ||
'</ap:info>' ||
'</ap:Collection>');
aNodeList := dbms_xslprocessor.selectNodes(dbms_xmldom.makeNode(doc_in),
                                             '/ap:Collection/ap:info',
                                             'xmlns:ap="http://www.abc.com/ap"');
dbms_output.put_line('length of aNodeList = '|| dbms_xmldom.getLength(aNodeList) );

Xml parsing error while selecting whole result set for sql query

Please could any one help me urgently as the sql query is supposed to be correct as it is returning query results, but the problem happening when i try to select whole result set.
Thanks and regards,

What does the XML look like? It appears that some of the supposed XML stored as a CLOB is not really valid XML. Find the row in the table that is causing your issue and review the "XML" in it.

2-byte error in XML Parser for PL/SQL

environment:
oracle 8.1.5
XML parser for Java 2.0.2.6.0
XML parser for PL/SQL 1.0.1.0.0
we use CLOB as xml data container, but it does not work properly with 2 byte chracter set.
I tested same situation except using VARCHAR2 instead of CLOB, it works without problem.
I think there is some bug in method parseClob of oracle.xml.parser.plsql.XMLParserCover about converting CLOB into String.
I appreciate any help to work around this problem.

Hi,
We couldn't reproduce this error with our test case. Can you please post a test case that gives you this problem so we can assist you further?
Thank you,

Was it definitely xmlparsev2.jar that you had to load?
I recently started going through some of these examples as well and found that the standard xml parser was there but that I needed to load the xml parser for PL/SQL. I did this using loadjava from a subdirectory within the xdk directory and everything worked fine.

2.) create a sql statement to have data in the chart -> o.k.
3.) running report with this created region and chart -> vizualisation o.k.
3.) create a data picker item ":P21_END_DATE"
4.) replaced the where clause "WHERE a_timestamp >= To_date ('01.02.2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy HH24:MI') -1/24" with WHERE a_timestamp >= To_date (:P21_END_DATE, 'dd/mm/yyyy HH24:MI') -1/24
5.) running report with this created region and chart and data picker item -> vizualisation not o.k. I get the attached error message.
I read already in the forum and knows that the end tag of the svg section is lost put I only changed in my query the described value. Does any body can help me please ??

XML parsing problems with Oracle XML parser for PL/SQL

I am using the Oracle XML parser for PL/SQL to transform XML into HTML usign XSL. The parser gives me sporadic errors trying to parse various XML documents. For the same XML source, the XMLPARSER will parse without errors one day and the next day will give me errors such as "invalid char in text", "Expected ';'.", or even Java null pointer exceptions.
I have verified that the XML sources are well formed, so I am pretty certain that the problems I am having are bugs in the XMLPARSER.
Is there going to be a XML parser for PL/SQL version 2 that will fix these bugs? If so, when??? If not, is there anything else I could do to fix these problems?
Thanks!

You can use the latest version.

error. It's working fine with Oracle8.1.6.
Any idea?

Oracle XML Parser has differents distributions for 8.1.5 and 8.1.6 databases, try the correct version, then runs the oraclexmlsqlload.csh from the lib directory of XSU distribution.

Oracle 8i XML Parser for PL/SQL

Hi,
Using "Building Oracle XML Applications" by O'reilly, I am
trying to get XML working on an Oracle 8i database. I have done the following steps:
1) verify oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser class is running;
select substr(dbms_java.longname(object_name),1,30) as class, status
from all_objects
where object_type = 'JAVA CLASS'
and object_name = dbms_java.shortname('oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser');
CLASS STATUS
oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser VALID
OK
2) Check for Oracle XML Parser for PL/SQL is installed:
DESCRIBE xmlparser
ERROR:
ORA-04043: object xmlparser does not exist
So apparently i need to download the Oracle XML Parser for PL/SQL.
I cannot locate this download on the oracle site for version 8i (8.1.7.4 specifically).
Any helpers out there?

You can use the latest version.

XML Parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token) (error code 4) --- Urgent Help Needed!

Hi all, what im doing now is im trying to create a database connection my my MS SQL 2005 database. I created a data source and went to my Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1, i created a new data connection, selected OLEDB and created the connection string using the build function.
Ok, now the problem is, after creating the new data connection and i click on the preview tab, i will receive the error stated above.
'XML Parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token) (error code 4), line 444, column 1 of file'
Does anyone know why am i receiving this error and how do i go about solving this?
I need this database connection to pre-fill my form when the user downloads the form =(

I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed (C# Visual Studio 2013)

I am working on a project in visual studio that imports a csv, and exports an xml file. I'd like to be able to get the code to work as xml and html, and view it in a browser. I am getting this error when I load the xml file into a browser:
Firefox
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: file:///C:/Users/fenwky/XmlDoc.xml Line Number 2, Column 6:?> -----^
Chrome
This page contains the following errors: error on line 2 at column 16: colon are forbidden from PI names 'xsl:transform'
This is what my c# code looks like in visual studio 2013:
// Create a procesing instruction.
XmlProcessingInstruction newPI;
// Stylesheet
String PItext = "<abc:stylesheet xmlns:abc=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform\" version=\"1.0\">";
newPI = doc.CreateProcessingInstruction("abc:stylesheet", PItext);
doc.InsertAfter(newPI, doc.FirstChild);
// Save document
doc.Save(xmlfilename);

Hi
Kylee Fenwick,
Could you show us your CSV file? And the code how do you imports a csv and exports an xml file?
Best regards,
Kristin
