XML parsing regressing from Java 1.4 to 1.5

Hi,
I have a piece of code using Jakarta digester. This piece of code is prety simple and was working fine until I switched from java 1.4 to java 1.5. However, i didn't changed the Digester jar.
After investigation, I noticed that the problem disappear if i remove the DOCTYPE entry from the XML file I'm parsing.
Is there any known regression ?
Thanks =P

Can I use a C/C++ xml parser in my java program?

Hi,
How can I use a C/C++ xml parser in my java program?
Elvis.

You would still need to convert the XML data structure into a Java data structure to import it into Java.
Don't assume you need C++ to do anything. I woudl write it in Java first, then profile the application to see where the bottle necks are and then optimise them
Don't optimise code unless you have proof it needs to be optimised.
If you want to improve the speed of reading XML, try XMLbooster

Printing xml spreadsheet file from java

Thanks in advance.Are you crazy, mad or stupid???
Just messing.....
If you're new to Java then don't bother. Otherwise try [url http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html]here for jakarta's API.
Honestly though, if you're not new to programming then fair enough. BUT, if you are new to Java and programming then acknowledge the fact you'll have to whack yourself alot before u get anywhere.

Accessing XML Publisher Reports from Java application

How to accesss the XDO Reports from Java application?
I am wondering that we need to get the URL for accessing the report and call the URL with in Java program?
Is that right? Is there any other option? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to write some class based on the BI Publisher APIs taking data, template, output format, etc.

XML data source from Java application

Hello everyone,
I want to use BI Publisher reports from my Java application.
1. I have generated xml from database query in Java application.
2. I have created BIP template sampleReport.rtf
3. I need to generate PDF report using sampleReport.rtf and generated xml data source.
How this (step 3) can be achieved using BI publisher web service? If someone has sample code, this would be great.
Thanks.

Calling XML API's from Java Stored Procedures in DB

Hi,
I am have and Oracle 10gR2 db installed and XML Publisher Enterprise Server 5.6.2.
I have created the following Java Class and used loadjava to make it a Java Stored Procedure:
<code>
import java.io.IOException;
import java.lang.Object;
import oracle.apps.xdo.XDOException;
import oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor;
import oracle.apps.xdo.template.RTFProcessor;
public class callingXMLP{
public static String rtfToXsl(String rtfFile, String xslFile)
try {
RTFProcessor rtfProcessor = new RTFProcessor(rtfFile); //Input RTF
rtfProcessor.setOutput(xslFile);
rtfProcessor.process();
} catch (IOException IOE) {
return" Error "+IOE.getMessage();}
catch(XDOException XDE ){
return" Error "+XDE.getMessage();
return "Success";
public static String mergeXmlXsl(String xmlFile, String xslFile, String outputFile)
FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
processor.setData(xmlFile); //Input XML File
processor.setTemplate(xslFile); //Input XSL File
processor.setOutput(outputFile); //Ouput File
processor.setOutputFormat(FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF);
//start processing
try {
processor.generate();
catch (XDOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
//System.exit(1);
return "Error - "+e.getMessage();
//System.exit(0);
return "Success";
</code>
I then wrap this using the following function spec in pl/sql:
create or replace function callXMLP(input1 VARCHAR2, output1 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
as language java name 'callingXMLP.rtfToXsl(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
and
create or replace function mergeXMLXSL(xml VARCHAR2, xsl VARCHAR2, output VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
as language java name 'callingXMLP.mergeXmlXsl(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
Calling the callXMLP function works fine, and produces an XSL file from the input RTF file as expected.
When I run the mergeXMLXSL function, it says that the function has completed successfully, but it seems to be throwing an XDOException error as it is returning "Error - null" message from the Java.
A PDF document is being created, but it does not have any content. I have also modified the Java to create an RTF instead, but still the same thing happens.
Is there anything that I need to check, or something that I am missing when trying to create the final PDF document?
Please help, I am completely stuck with this now.
Many Thanks,
Cj

Accessing XML API's from Java Stored Procedures in DB

I am working in an environment that does not contain any Oracle applications and we have been looking at XML publisher as a stand alone service. I have successfully configured the UI and created some command line java programs to produce documents and deliver these documents.
How do I install (do I need to install) XML Publisher java in the database in order to access XML Publisher API's from stored procedures. Any clues or help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi, parse the file using dom.then print out the root tag.you will have to strip the indentation this way.or you could use sax.

ANN: XML Class Generator for Java Available

The Oracle XMCL Class Generator for Java is now available as an
initial beta release on the Oracle Technology Network at
http://technet.oracle.com. Select 'xml' from the Technology menu.
The XML Class Generator will generate a set of Java source files
based on an input DTD. The generated Java source files can then
be used to construct, optionally validate, and print a XML
document that is compliant to the DTD specified. This is an early
beta release and has the following features:
* Creates Java Classes from DTDs to enable the programmatic
construction of XML documents.
* Supports validation mode to assist debugging.
* Works with the Oracle XML Parser in Java.
* Creates documents conforming to the W3C XML 1.0
Recommendation.
* Supports creating documents in the following encodings:
UTF-8
UTF-16
ISO-10646-UCS-2
ISO-10646-UCS-4
US-ASCII
EBCDIC-CP-US
ISO-8859-1

Invalid InputSource Error using XML Parser V2

I'm using the following code to read xml from
a clob field in an Oracle database.
try
// Parse xsl and xml documents
parser = new DOMParser();
parser.setPreserveWhitespace(true);
Statement sqlSel=conn.createStatement();
ResultSet xmlDet=sqlSel.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM USER_XML WHERE IHC_USER_ID='123456789'");
if (xmlDet.next())
CLOB xmlCLOB= ((OracleResultSet)xmlDet).getCLOB(2);
int index=0;
Reader clobStream=xmlCLOB.getCharacterStream();
parser.parse(clobStream);
Everything seems to work fine, and I can
create a String from the stream which contains the entire XML document. However, if I try to do the above and parse the Stream, or alternatively parse the String resulting from the stream, I get the following Error:
nvalid InputSource.
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.flushErrors()
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.error(int, int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int, java.lang.Exception, int, boolean)
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.error(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLReader, java.lang.String, int, java.lang.Exception, int, boolean)
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLReader.pushXMLReader(org.xml.sax.InputSource)
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParser.parse(java.lang.String)
void xmlquerydb.testParse()
void xmlquerydb.main(java.lang.String[])
Any ideas what could cause this?

I'm quite sure the xml documents are valid.
At present, I'm just using booklist.xml,
which comes as an example with the XML SQL
utility. The problem is not really with the
parsing (If I convert the xml into a url then it parses fine).
My real problem is pulling the document out
of a CLOB field. Regardless of what I pass to the parser( a string or a stream), or which xml its parsing, I still get the Invalid inputsource error.

Oracle XML parser and schema validation

Hi Forum,
I have problem parsing XML with validation against XML schema. I define location of schema (URL) in xml file and Oracle parser could not find the schema (xml file is correct - checked in other programs). When I point to xml schema directly from Java (using parser.setXMLSchema) before calling parser.parse, it works just fine. Where is the problem? Does oracle parser works correctly with XML Schema?
TIA,
Alex

SAXParser saxParser=new SAXParser();
saxParser.setValidationMode(XMLParser.SCHEMA_VALIDATION);
Specify a Schema to validate a XML document with, for the SAXParser.
saxParser.setXMLSchema(SchemaUrl);
DefaultHandler handler=new DefaultHandler();
saxParser.setErrorHandler(handler);
Parse the XML document to validate with the XML schema.
saxParser.parse(XmlDocumentUrl);

Converting from JAVA HASHMAP to PLSQL object or CLOB

Hello All,
My oracle version in 10.2.0.4 on a solaris V880 machine.
Our Application Java SDK is 1.4.
I am trying to pass in a series of XML (considerably huge for XML type column) from java application plsql which stores them into an oracle table with column as external BLOB. Since the contents are so heavy for each objects , using XMLTYPE column is not feasible.
The xml files comes as either java hash_map or string which i have to pass as parameter to an Oracle stored procedure which stores as external BLOB in OS through a table.
My first doubt is this the correct approach.
My second doubt here is how to interpret java hash_map object within PLSQL when it is passed to it.
Apologies if the question is silly since i am a new comer to java.
Thanks in advance ,
Vijay G

If i have plsql collection with a varchar2 and a blob as record type then can i directly pass the java hash map to the procedure having parameter datatype as the above said record type ?Of course not. Obviously the first reason for that is because the "blob" needs to be a file path and not a blob.
Second reason is no databases that I know of take a hash data type. Some take arrays. But I doubt that is worth the trouble.
You have a collection of name value (path) pairs. Iterate over the collection and for each name do an insert of the name and path.
