XML parser to parse XML inside HTML file

Hi,
I wish to know is there any other parsers apart from JAXP to parse xml content present inside HTML file. For example,
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

while reading, we can fetch the starting of XML through <?xml> tag, but how we know the ending of the XML as it seems to be dynamic.1) Extract the document root element which follows the <?xml ... ?>
2) From this root element , construct the associated root element terminal by inserting a / after the <.
3) Search for the terminal.
If the root name can also be the name of an enclosed element then you will have to count the number of terminals.

  • Module processing inside Sender File Adapter

    Hello,
    I am trying to analyze whether I can create a specialized module inside Sender File Adapter. As of right now, the Sender File Adapter and Receiver as well, assume endSeparator character in the end of each record. For files that do not have this field, it is just on continuous string, I assumed I can create an
         adapter module
         call it BEFORE data in the file is being converted to XML format
         Insert 'nl' character (since the record length is fixed)
         Call regular adapter processing (converting to/from XML)
        However, creating any module inside Sender File Adapter, the payload of the main document is already in XML format. Is there anyway to avoid it?
       Thanks for your help,
             Dmitriy Mindich

    It is not possible with the standard functionality.
    So maintain the sender file adapter with no conversion, but in the module tab enter following modules:
    1. Your module
    2. The conversion module (*)
    3. The standard module.
    (*) for details look here:
    Look here:

  • JAXB parsing an incomplete xml file

    hi folks,
    i am trying to parse a incomplete xml file (e.g some attribute and child elements are missing) in order to complete it via jaxb. however, parsing throws a SAXParseException (premature end of file), which interally is marked as unrecoverable, and a unmarshaller isn't capable of returning a result. not even the objects created so far.
    so my question is if there a way of getting the (incomplete) object tree no matter if the parsing was successfully or not. (i am aware of the fact, that this object tree might be invalid)
    cheer, johannes

    Thanks, works like a charm :)
    Another question.
    I have an index.jsp page with an HTML form (a simple "search" form, made of a text area and a submit button). Now, what I want to do is passing the parameter to two distinct servlets, each one dealing with a web service (one with ebay, the other one with last.fm).
    Unfortunately, in the action tag of the form only one value can be specified.
    Any suggestions?

    This parser takes 2 hours to laod file of size around 8MB.
    ANy suggestions on improving performance of the parser.
    ANy other approach I should be taking to load this file into DB.
    We are using ORacle 9i DB with Character set UTF 8.
    Thanks!

    Now, i want to export oracle table to xml file like :
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <root>
    <emp>
    <ename>aaa</ename>
    <sal>3000</sal>
    </emp>
    <emp>
    <ename>bbb</ename>
    <sal>5000</sal>
    </emp>
    </root>
    Can SAX export to xml format?

  • Non-blocking parsing of multiple xml files

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to parse multiple huge XML files concurrently for a query system over multiple xml streaming systems.
    For each huge xml file, I read them into the memory gradually (the new data would cover the old data in the buffer if the buffer is full). Two questions here:
    1. Do I have to set up a socket and write the buffered data to the socket in order to simuate that the parser can parse infinitely? It sounds not good to use socket across two threads just for the "infinite" nature.
    2. I want to simulate concurrently parsing multiple streams. A straightforward way is to have each parser sit in a thread. Is there any otherway that I can put all parsers in one thread and alternately call them? This requires that each individual parser could parse whatever they have seen so far rather and resume when they are called again.
    I'm curiously awaiting for your answers.
    thanks a lot,
    hong

    just taking a guess: create your own reader by extending java.io.Reader ; and let this reader taking care of fetching the data that the parser will use.

  • Maximum XML file size that can parsed with c++ XML parser

    Hi!
    what is the maximum file size that can be parsed using the xml parser(version 1) for c++ on linux .
    i'm getting an error(error no 231) when i try to parse an XML file of 3MB on Red Hat Linux 6.1

  • XML parsing error: not well formed Location:file///c:users/

    I have been trying to download tax info from the I.R.S site. When I try to open the downloads I get this error message:
    XML parsing error: not well formed
    Location: file///c:/Users/John/Downloads/available Transcripts.xhtml
    line number 1, Column 9

    Are you sure that this is an XML file and not some other file type like PDF that got saved with the wrong file extension?
    You can try to rename the file and change the file extension to .pdf to see if that works.

  • XML Parsing From A String (Not a File)

    Hi all,
    I've been looking throughout this forum and still can't find a total answer to my question. I was wondering if it is possible to do the following:
    I want to pass in a string of XML code to a java stored procedure; the XML string looking like the following (for example):
    <Table-Name="PersonalInfo">
    <row>
    <First-Name>Bob</First-Name>
    <Last-Name>Smith</Last-Name>
    <Age>55</Age>
    </row>
    </Table-Name>
    We don't want to be passing in an XML file; we want to pass in the actual string of XML code that would be in the file.
    Is it possible to put into the DOM format (like every example I've seen so far) by parsing an XML formatted string? If so, how would I go about doing that?
    Thanks in advance!
    Jadie

    <Table-Name="PersonalInfo">
    <row>
    <First-Name>Bob</First-Name>
    <Last-Name>Smith</Last-Name>
    <Age>55</Age>
    </row>
    </Table-Name>This is exactly what JAXB is for! :)
    With JAXB unmarshalling against an XSD file can be applied to any InputStream, etc.
    Take a look at JAXB, and you'll find it'll be just what you're looking for. :)
    In fact, here's a short segment of the XSD you'd write for the above:
    <xsd:complexType name="PersonalInfo">
    <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="row" type="PersonalInfoRow" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    <xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:complexType name="PersonalInfoRow">
    <xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:element name="First-Name" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
    <xsd:element name="Last-Name" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
    <xsd:element name="Age" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
    <xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
    Also, perhaps redesign your XML a little, since each table will be different, simply use its name as the tags...i.e. <PersonalInfo></PersonalInfo> and change the <row> to <PersonalInfo> since <row> is pretty generic and will probably occur many times in other places.
    Hope this helps you along your way. :)

  • Java.lang.NullPointerException javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse

    Hi all,
    i have a problem by solving an error in my code. The Code is mainly from Ian Darwin.
    The code i am running works with j2sdk1.4.2_04. But now i have to bring it to work with jdk1.6.0_13.
    The code parses xml documents. With small xml documents the code works. With large xml documents i get the following error while running the produced class file.

    I know what a java.lang.NullPointerException mens. But i don't know where i have to look for. Specially i don't know what or where "com.sun.org.apache...." is.
    Is there a package that a have to add to the environment? Can some one tell my where i can find this package?
    I wrote the code for some years ago, 2006 or so. With the knew jdk1.6.0_13 some thinks chance in the environment. Couldn't find what exactly.
    The code has only 215 lines, but some how i can't add it to this Message, because Maximum allowed is only 7500.
    Is there an other Forum, which may is better for my question?
