XML parser for commercial application.

J2ME doesn't have a built in XML parser, which is actually pretty surprising. I know several J2ME compatible parsers exist like kXML and Xparse, but they are both licensed under the GNU Public License. In using these, doesn't that mean the entire project has to be "open source" to honor the license? This doesn't seem to be a good idea for a commercial product, so can anyone recommend any other way to parse XML?
Thanks

How can we parse a XML file without giving the tagname(Element name for checking)?........

Custom xml parser for EAR

I am trying to specify a custom XML parser for my application to use as the default BEA one does not work with Apache Axis.
I added the following to my weblogic-application.xml file:
<xml>
<parser-factory>
<saxparser-factory>org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl</saxparser-factory>
<document-builder-factory>org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl</document-builder-factory>
<transformer-factory>org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl</transformer-factory>
</parser-factory>
</xml>
I also updated the Manifest file for my EAR to include the following:
Class-Path: APP-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar;APP-INF/lib/xml-apis.jar
This is not working. Any ideas?
Here is the docs i am following: http://edocs.beasys.com/wls/docs81/xml/xml_appscop.html#1075700

I am not sure what parser or interface you are trying to use.
Our command line ones will print the output of the parse to the

Not unless you use our print methods or pipe our commandline

All of our XML Parsers for C, C++, and Java can work
independenmt of the database. However, only the Java version is
currently configured to work with the XML SQL Utility (also
available here) to get parsed data in and out of the database.
Download it and take a look.

Upgrading Oracle XML Parser for Java v9.0.4 with Oracle Applications 11i

Guys, I applied ATG.PF.H.RUP4. In postinstall steps it is mentioned,Upgrading Oracle XML Parser for Java v9.0.4 with Oracle Applications 11i(doc-271148.1)
which says after applying patch 4038964 do the following--
AUTOCONFIG ENABLED APPLICATIONS ENVIRONMENT
If the Oracle E-Business Suite configuration files are maintained using the AutoConfig infrastructure, proceed with the following:
1. Run the AutoConfig utility.
2. Go to [JAVA_TOP].
3. Run the unzip -l appsborg2.zip | grep 9.0.4 command. If there is a file named as .xdkjava_version_9.0.4.0.0_production, which indicates that XML Parser for Java v9.0.4 is installed correctly as part of appsborg2.zip. Otherwise, run ADAdmin to regenerate the appsborg2.zip file.
4. Restart the application tier server processes such that the new version of Oracle XML Parser for Java will take effect.
but actually the patch is already applied- 4038964. How do i verify if i need to do these steps or not.
The xmlparserv2-904.zip file is already there in wrapper.classpath. of jserv.properties, forms.properties. So i think i dont need to do these steps.

unzip -l appsborg2.zip | grep 9.0.4
0 04-18-03 20:10 .xdkjava_version_9.0.4.0.0_production
do i still need to do that step?No, you do not have to since "XML Parser for Java v9.0.4" is already installed as part of appsborg2.zip

Licensing XML libraries for commercial use...

After reading the license terms for the XML parser for 'C', I am confused. The license document embedded in the download package, says you need to contact Oracle to license the library for commercial use. However, the click-wrap license for the OTN says you can use the technologies in commercial products. These totally contradict each other. I called Oracle and asked the following question, and after talking with 3 people, nobody knew a difinitive answer.
Here is the question: If I use the Oracle XML parser for 'C' library in the construction of a commercial application that I am selling, do I need purchase a license from Oracle to do this? If so, who do I contact?
Thanks,
- Ted

It doesn't matter to me as much that the two agreements are different. What I am most concerned with is that BOTH say that I cannot build commercial/for-sale products using the kit without paying for a license. Who do I contact to get a license to use?
I called the number on the agreement and spoke to people who had no idea what I was talking about, nor who I could talk to.
Also, since you asked, I have attached the two different sections from the two license agreements below.
Thanks,

Hi,
We are using XML parser for C++ v2(2.0.1) on HP-UX 11.00.Oracle version is 8.0.5. Our application is dumping core .analyzing the core gives pointers to Oracle function calls. We found that some datatypes in parser's oratypes.h (e.g ub4,sb4)were not in consistence with datatypes in native Oracle's oratypes.h.how to solve this problem? is there any linkage or Includepath order recommended to solve this? let me know if u know any solution/workaround

I expect the ORA-04043 errors are a result of the earlier errors.

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.

XML Parser for PL/SQL and related issues

I need to have further information about some of the following
issues and XML features and make a determination useful for
evaluation and recommendation:
ISSUES
1) Is there a maximum size for an XML document to provide data
for PL/SQL(or SQL) across tables, provided that no CLOB are used?
2) How about from Oracle to an XML document ?
3) Is there a ratio between XML document size and main memory and
SGA size. What are Oracle's recommendations /
4) Can the Oracle Application Server run on a DHCP NT server when
using XML parsing ? Is it NT Service Pack 3 and 4 compatible ?
5) How parsers can interact with one another or related tools ?
For example, how the XML parser for c/c++ could be useful when
using Pro*C/C++ (programmer 2000) or OCI interfaces ? In other
words, what is the business logic in using these tools ?

The limit should be what can be inserted into an object view.

The limit should be what can be retrieved from an object view.

Not directly due to the relationship between XML metadata and
data not being constrained.

If it can run a JavaVM with the correct permissions there are no
other special requirements.

No special requirements here.

Not really sure of your question. The XML components are useful
in any application where I am processing documents or data with
an XML structure. The choice to use XML can be based on quite a
range of requirements due to its declarative syntax and open
standards. If you give me a specific application, I can perhaps
be more helpful.

Oracle XML Parser for Java

Does the latest release of the Oracle XML Parser for Java support JDK 1.2.2?
I have an application which makes use of the XML Parser which runs fine with JDK 1.1.7.
But the application crashes with the use of JDK 1.2.2 .
Any insight into this is appreciated.

Testing XML Parser for C (v1.0.1 & v2)

Hi,
I had tested the Oracle XML Parser for C (v1.0.1.0.0) and found out that it was bundled with the 8i database. Is this a requirement of the parser?
Now I want to test version 2 of the same parser. Can you tell me the main differences between the two versions? Also we are using Oracle 8.1.5i at our site, can we run the v2 parser with 8.1.5i?
My last question is when will the commercial product (both v1.0.1 and v2) be available?
Thanks,
Francis

Hi,
Are you sure I can use the downloaded XML Parser for C v2 on Oracle 7.3 and Oracle 8? Because in the lib directory there are the following libraries:
libcore8.a, libnls8.a, libxml8.a, libxmlc8.a
I think they are for Oracle 8i instead. I tried to compiled the Oracle XML Parser for C v1.0.0.0.1 before on Oracle 7.3 and it failed because of libraries problem. How can I get the libraries required for Oracle 7.3 and Oracle 8? Please verify.
Many thanks!

XML parser for Java setup

I download the XML Parser for Java 3.2.1 Release from the IBM site and I have JDK1.3 installed on my Windows 2000 PC. I've placed the files "xerces.jar" and "xalan.jar" in the location specified by the extensions mechanism (i.e "C:\JDK1.3\jre\lib\ext\").
I downloaded an example where java uses XML but I get an error because it fails to import the following class:
import com.ibm.xml.parser.Parser;
Also in another application the same thing happens with this class:
import com.ibm.xml.parser.TXDocument;
If I remove the xerces and xalan JAR files from the directory mentioned above I get move errors so I presume I have the files in the right location. Do I need to place any other files in that DIR other than the xerces and xalan JAR files?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Not sure if you solved your problem.
I think Xerces was handed over to the Apache organisation by IBM and the package names were then changed so that com.ibm would have become org.apache or whatever. At a guess nobody got round to changing the examples.

JAXP support in XML Parser for Java

Was curious if there were any plans to support JAXP in the XML Parser for Java. Sun's licensing terms was a serious issue of contention when Apache was trying to implement the spec and finally got an exemption from Sun to some of the terms.

The value of JAXP is that it allows one to
freely switch parsers without changing any code. I have an application that uses the JAXP interfaces to create my DOM parser. I am using the Xerces-J parser now. I wanted to try Oracle's parser to see how it compares. To my great surprise, I found the Oracle DOM parser doesn't support JAXP. Because of this I have to CHANGE my code to user the Oracle DOM parser. Thus defeating the purpose of coding my app to the JAXP interface.
I have to add that I am surprised to see that a developer of Oracle's XML parser has to even ask what the value of JAXP is. I would think that being a parser developer, you would know and understand the value of JAXP.
I would like to know why Oracle has chosen not to support JAXP? Or have you just not even thought about whether or not you should support it.
Thanks,
Keith Jensen

XDK10g supports XML parsing for PL/SQL?

Hi,
I have a couple of questions here:
1) Does XDK10g support XML parsing for PL/SQL? (More specifically, I need to use xmlDom and xmlParser)
2) Does Oracle 10g come installed with XDK 10g? If not, does it even need to install XDK 10g to use xmlDom and xmlParser?
Thank you all and have a nice day.

Well, if you are talking 10.2, then
"The (Java-based) Oracle XDK PL/SQL packages XMLDOM, XMLPARSER, and XSL_PROCESSOR have been deprecated in favor of the (C-based) Oracle XML DB packages DBMS_XMLDOM, DBMS_XMLPARSER, and DBMX_XSLPROCESSOR. Synonyms have been provided to smooth the migration of legacy applications" (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/whatsnew.htm#CHDCAICE)
Whether that is a default install option or one that requires selecting I can't say, but it is available without needing to additionally use the XDK. So odds are you can do whatever you need in PL/SQL using those DBMS_ packages (or XMLTYPE based variables if the need arises).

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.
