XMLParseException Bursting with nested empty tags

The following XML gives us this error under 5.6.2 Burster:
oracle.apps.xdo.batch.BurstingProcessorEngine][EXCEPTION] oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Unexpected EOF.

The issue can be resolved by "taking out" the redundant "LineItem" nested tag as there is only one lineitem in this example. As far as I can see this XML doesn't break any specs and should be easily able to handle the above example?
Any clues??

Custom taglib with nested tag not working

Hi everybody,
I have a question concerning a custom taglib. I want to create a tag with nested child tags. The parent tag is some kind of iterator, the child elements shall do something with each iterated object. The parent tag extends BodyTagSupport, i have overriden the methods doInitBody and doAfterBody. doInitBody initializes the iterator and puts the first object in the pageContext to be used by the child tag. doAfterBody gets the next iterator object and puts that in the pageContext, if possible. It returns with BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_AGAIN when another object is available, otherwise BodyTag.SKIP_BODY.
The child tag extends SimpleTagSupport and does something with the given object, if it's there.
In the tld-file I have configured both tags with name, class and body-content (tagdependent for the parent, empty for the child).
The parent tag is being executed as I expected. But unfortunately the nested child tag does not get executed. If I define that one outside of its parent, it works fine (without object, of course).
Can somebody tell me what I might have missed? Do I have to do something special with a nested tag inside a custom tag?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance!
Greetings,
Peter

Hi again,
unfortunately this didn't work.
I prepared a simple example to show what isn't working. Perhaps it's easier then to show what my problem is:
I have the following two tag classes:
public class TestIterator extends BodyTagSupport {
    private Iterator testIteratorChild;
    @Override
    public void doInitBody() throws JspException {
        super.doInitBody();
        System.out.println("TestIterator: doInitBody");
        List list = Arrays.asList(new String[] { "one", "two", "three" });
        testIteratorChild = list.iterator();
    @Override
    public int doAfterBody() throws JspException {
        int result = BodyTag.SKIP_BODY;
        System.out.println("TestIterator: doAfterBody");
        if (testIteratorChild.hasNext()) {
            pageContext.setAttribute("child", testIteratorChild.next());
            result = BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_AGAIN;
        return result;
public class TestIteratorChild extends SimpleTagSupport {
    @Override
    public void doTag() throws JspException, IOException {
        super.doTag();
        System.out.println(getJspContext().getAttribute("child"));
        System.out.println("TestIteratorChild: doTag");
}The Iterator is the parent tag, the Child shall be shown in each iteration. My taglib.tld looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<taglib
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee web-jsptaglibrary_2_1.xsd"
     xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.1">
     <tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
     <short-name>cms-taglib</short-name>
     <uri>http://www.pgoetz.de/taglibs/cms</uri>
     <tag>
          <name>test-iterator</name>
          <tag-class>de.pgoetz.cms.taglib.TestIterator</tag-class>
          <body-content>tagdependent</body-content>
     </tag>
     <tag>
          <name>test-iterator-child</name>
          <tag-class>de.pgoetz.cms.taglib.TestIteratorChild</tag-class>
          <body-content>empty</body-content>
     </tag>
</taglib>And the snippet of my jsp is as follows:
     
     <cms:test-iterator>
          <cms:test-iterator-child />
     </cms:test-iterator>The result is that on my console I get the following output:
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doInitBody
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doAfterBody
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doAfterBody
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doAfterBody
09:28:01,656 INFO [STDOUT] TestIterator: doAfterBody
So the child is never executed.
It would be a great help if anybody could tell me what's going wrong here.
Thanks and greetings from germany!

How can I evaluate if a collection is empty or not with struts logic tag?

How can I evaluate if a collection is empty or not with struts logic tag?
I tried with logic empty tag. but the tag evaluated if a collection is null or not.
I would like to do like this below.
List list = new ArrayList();
set(list);
<logic:XXXX name="someForm" property="list">
The list size is 0.
</logic>thanks in advance.

U can use :
<logic:present name="urform" property="urlist">
</logic:present>
to check "urlist" is empty or not

Loop through elements within nested:iterate tag using javascript

Hello,
I would like to loop through the adjustedLineItems list and set the checkbox values to true on click of a select all button.
I am getting the error document.all['adjustedLineItems.selected'] is null or not an object
however it works if I manually substitute values for i within the function
document.all['adjustedLineItems[0].selected'].checked=true;
document.all['adjustedLineItems[1].selected'].checked=true;
document.all['adjustedLineItems[2].selected'].checked=true;
Could someone please help me do this via a for loop?
Thanks
<nested:iterate name="invoiceForm" property="adjustedLineItems" id="adjli" type="com.bt.lex.common.lineItem.beans.LineItemDetailBean" indexId="idxadjli">
          <tr>
               <td class="dataLeft"><nested:checkbox property="selected"/></td>
               <td class="dataLeft"><nested:write property="liNumber"/></td>
          </tr>
</nested:iterate>
<script type="text/javascript">
function onclick_all(ctl) {
     var checkFlag = "false";
     var count = document.all.numOfAdjustedLIs.value;
     var i = 0;
     //alert(count);
     if(ctl.checked)
          if(checkFlag=="false")
               for (i = 0; i <count; i++)
                    document.all['adjustedLineItems[i].selected'].checked=true;
               checkFlag = "true";
</script>

Its got nothing to do with nested iterate tags :). However,
document.all['adjustedLineItems.selected'].checked=true;
The variable 'i' is not getting evaluated as is evident from the error message - document.all['adjustedLineItems.selected'].
The appearance of 'i' in the error message tells it all, right ? :)
So
document.all['adjustedLineItems[' + i + '].selected'].checked=true;should do the trick.

Marshalling HashMap with JAXB 2.0 - empty tags & ill schema

Hi all,
I expected JAXB 2.0 to be capable to handle basic classes like HashMap, but it does not look so. I have two classes: SimpleNegotiationManager which has a property HashMap in which are stored the instances of SimpleInitiatedConversation:
package xml;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;
import java.util.HashMap;
@XmlAccessorType(AccessType.FIELD)
@XmlRootElement
public class SimpleNegotiationManager {
    @XmlElement
    protected HashMap<String, SimpleInitiatedConversation> initiatedConversations;
    public SimpleNegotiationManager() {
    public HashMap<String, SimpleInitiatedConversation> getInitiatedConversations() {
        if (initiatedConversations == null) {
            initiatedConversations = new HashMap();
        return initiatedConversations;
    public void setInitiatedConversations(HashMap<String, SimpleInitiatedConversation> initiatedConversations) {
        this.initiatedConversations = initiatedConversations;
}and
package xml;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
@XmlAccessorType(AccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType
public class SimpleInitiatedConversation {
    @XmlElement
    protected List<String> messages;
    protected String conversationID;
    protected int protocolState;
    public SimpleInitiatedConversation() {
    public List<String> getMessages() {
        if (messages == null) {
            messages = new ArrayList();
        return messages;
    public void setMessages(List<String> messages) {
        this.messages = messages;
    public int getProtocolState() {
        return protocolState;
    public void setProtocolState(int protocolState) {
        this.protocolState = protocolState;
    public String getConversationID() {
        return conversationID;
    public void setConversationID(String conversationID) {
        this.conversationID = conversationID;
}When I marshalled SimpleNegotiationManager while the HashMap was filled with several <String,SimpleInitiatedConversation> entries, in the output were empty tags initiatedConversations:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<simpleNegotiationManager>
<initiatedConversations>
</initiatedConversations>
</simpleNegotiationManager>When I used schemagen to generate a schema, it produced:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:complexType name="simpleInitiatedConversation">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="messages" type="xs:string" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"/>
      <xs:element name="conversationID" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
      <xs:element name="protocolState" type="xs:int"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="simpleNegotiationManager" type="simpleNegotiationManager"/>
<xs:complexType name="simpleNegotiationManager">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="initiatedConversations" type="hashMap" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="hashMap">
    <xs:complexContent>
      <xs:extension base="abstractMap">
        <xs:sequence/>
      </xs:extension>
    </xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="abstractMap" abstract="true"/>
</xs:schema>Particularly the description of HashMap seems ill - there is not specified that the HashMap has keys String and values SimpleInitiatedConversation.
Unfortunatelly, the j2s-xmlAdapter-field example available with JAXB 2.0 is more complicated than I need. I just need to store/load HashMap into/from XML and I do not care what it looks like. Is it possible to avoid extending XmlJavaTypeAdaptor for a simple storing a HashMap into XML? Perhaps I use improper annotations in the source code, but I cannot get it working. Any clue?

Ok i figured out one way of doing this by using some classes from JAXP...
SchemaFactory sf = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
Schema s = null;
try{
    s = sf.newSchema(new File("Sources/schema/test.xsd"));
}catch(Exception e){
    System.err.println("Exception e: " + e.getMessage());
marshaller.setSchema(s);
//MyValidationHandler class implements the ValidationEventHandler interface
MyValidationHandler gv = new MyValidationHandler();
marshaller.setEventHandler(gv);If anyone has something to add let me know!!

Is there a way to modify the style sheet so that it transforms an XML document with empty tags as tag / ?

I have extracted some code from codeproject to
reindent an XML document. Does anyone know how I can modify the stylesheet to make it so that the transform of an XML file will result in empty tags showing up as <tag /> instead of <tag></tag>?
// http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/43309/How-to-create-a-simple-XML-file-using-MSXML-in-C
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr FormatDOMDocument(MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pDoc)
LPCSTR const static szStyleSheet =
R"!(<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>)!"
R"!(<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">)!"
R"!( <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>)!"
R"!( <xsl:template match="@* | node()">)!"
R"!( <xsl:copy>)!"
R"!( <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>)!"
R"!( </xsl:copy>)!"
R"!( </xsl:template>)!"
R"!(</xsl:stylesheet>)!";
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pXmlStyleSheet;
pXmlStyleSheet.CreateInstance(__uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument60));
pXmlStyleSheet->loadXML(szStyleSheet);
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pXmlFormattedDoc;
pXmlFormattedDoc.CreateInstance(__uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument60));
CComPtr<IDispatch> pDispatch;
HRESULT hr = pXmlFormattedDoc->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void**)&pDispatch);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
_variant_t vtOutObject;
vtOutObject.vt = VT_DISPATCH;
vtOutObject.pdispVal = pDispatch;
vtOutObject.pdispVal->AddRef();
hr = pDoc->transformNodeToObject(pXmlStyleSheet, vtOutObject);
//By default it is writing the encoding = UTF-16. Let us change the encoding to UTF-8
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr pXMLFirstChild = pXmlFormattedDoc->GetfirstChild();
// A map of the a attributes (vesrsion, encoding) values (1.0, UTF-8) pair
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNamedNodeMapPtr pXMLAttributeMap = pXMLFirstChild->Getattributes();
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr pXMLEncodNode = pXMLAttributeMap->getNamedItem(_T("encoding"));
pXMLEncodNode->PutnodeValue(_T("UTF-8")); //encoding = UTF-8
return pXmlFormattedDoc;
Or, if there is some other method for reindenting a MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr object where I can specify how I want empty tags to be stored, that would be great too. However, I don't want it to lose its status of an MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr object.
I.e. I would like to still perform operations on the result as if it was still an MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr object.
Thanks,

Adding an empty tag with jaxp

hi,
I'm trying to add an empty tag using jaxp.
The code i'm using is:
Element test = document.createElement("test");
root.appendChild(test);
The result of this is this xml-string:
<root>
<test></test>
What I want as result is somthing like this:
<root>
<test/>
Can anyone tell me what I have to do?
thanks,
Hans

What I want as result is somthing like this:
<root>
<test/>
Can anyone tell me what I have to do?hmm; for my latest project i made my own class to do all the xml - it's quite basic (ie; easy to implement) and doesn't do any validation, it basically has 3 methods: set, toString & getXML(). i'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but if you wish i could post the source code or email it to you.
cheers,

Creating empty-tag-elements with JAXB?

Hi,
is there any possibility to force JAXB to create empty-tag-elements? For example
<exampletag attribute="value" />
instead of
<exampletag attribute="value">
</exampletag>.
I really need to close my tags in the described way but have found no possibility to do so.
Thanks for your help
Daniel

Maybe this will help. I take advantage of the following behavior of the JAXB Marshaller to give me the form of output I require.
When a class (element) has "null" content, the output is of the form <tagger id="Unique"/>. When it has "empty" content, the output is of the form <tagger id="Unique"></tagger>.
Example code snippets:
For "null" content:
@XmlRootElement(name = "tagger")
public class TagClose
public void setId(String id) { this.id = id; }
public String getId() { return this.id; }
@XmlValue
String content = null;
@XmlAttribute(name="id")
String id = null;
}For "empty" content:
@XmlRootElement(name = "tagger")
public class TagClose
public void setId(String id) { this.id = id; }
public String getId() { return this.id; }
@XmlValue
String content = "";
@XmlAttribute(name="id")
String id = null;
}

PHP Show if hides update fields, but they get overwritten with an empty string

I have an issue with a page where some update fields are displayed depending on who is logged, for example:
<?php if ($row_Users['UserID']=="101"){ ?>
<input <?php if (!(strcmp($row_lodges['101_finalist'],"Yes"))) {echo "checked=\"checked\"";} ?> type="checkbox" name="101_finalist" value="Yes"/>
<input type="text" class="rankfield" name="101_rank" value="<?php echo($row_lodges['101_rank']); ?>" />
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($row_Users['UserID']=="102"){ ?>
<input <?php if (!(strcmp($row_lodges['102_finalist'],"Yes"))) {echo "checked=\"checked\"";} ?> type="checkbox" name="102_finalist" value="Yes"/>
<input type="text" class="rankfield" name="102_rank" value="<?php echo($row_lodges['102_rank']); ?>" />
<?php } ?>
The issue I have is that if User101 is logged in and updates fields 101_finalist and 101_rank, it overwrites 102_finalist and 102_rank with an empty string.
Is it possible to prevent each user from seeing the other fields for other users, and prevent the existing values for those other users not be overwritten?
Hope that makes sense!
Thank you.

That would mean multiple nominations when really there only needs to be one nomination per category in any given country.
It would be:
1, 345, 101, Borana Lodge, 7, 2, Yes, 1
1, 345, 102, Borana Lodge, 7, 2, Yes, 3
1, 345, 103, Borana Lodge, 7, 2, No, NULL
Instead of:
1, 345, Borana Lodge, 7, 2, Yes, 1, Yes, 3, No, NULL
Sorry, Lodge isn't in the nominations table, the list above is what is displayed on the site. Lodge gets looked up in the Ldoges table.
At the moment it works like this:
People can visit a website and vote for lodges in different categories, giving them a score out of 10 for each.
If a lodge gets a vote in a particular category an admin person creates a nomination for that lodge, in that category.
And the last bit is where judges login and tag the ones they think should be finalists.

Empty Collections and Empty Tags

It seems that empty collections from a cast or cursor result in an empty tag. For example, the following sql:select work.work_id medlineid,
cursor(
select
databankname,
db.accessionnumberlist_ref.accessionnumberlist accessionnumberlist
from table(dbl.databanks) db
order by databankname) databanklist,
cast( multiset (
select chemical_t(
wrkchm.cas_registry_number,
wrkchm.term)
from work_chemicals wrkchm
where wrkchm.work_id=work.work_id
order by wrkchm.term) as chemicals_t) chemicallist
from
works work,
databanklist_t_v dbl
where
work.work_id = 96264942
and work.work_id = dbl.work_id(+)results in the following XML:<medlinecitationset>
<medlinecitation num="1">
<medlineid>96264942</medlineid>
<databanklist/>
<chemicallist/>
</medlinecitation>
</medlinecitationset>Is there a way to not have these empty tags appear?
Thanks! -- John.

David, this is about understanding the use of, and differencies between tags and collections. This is a bit hard for many new users.
First of all searching for collections and tags can *not* be done simultaneously. You can either work with one collection only, or you can search for pictures with one or more tags.
Next collections should be used as either temporary work sets or for special occasions like specific vacations, trips or birthdays, e.g. "Anna 5 years". You say you have a collection named "Churches". I think would have made a TAG called "Churches" instead, because a tag is for general searches that can be combined. On the other hand I might have made a collection called "Church visits July 2005" or "Summer vacation 2005" or the like.
Another difference is that pictures in a collection can be sorted manually by drag & drop, while pictures found via tags always are shown in the order chosen in the Photo Browser Arrangement box shown bottom left in the Organizer.

Not inlcude empty tag while invoking service from ESB

The ESB receives a request with input xml which contains some empty tag. while ESB invokes the actual services the empty tags should not be included. can any one help how to achieve this?

define that tag as optional in schema and don't map that element. This should help you.

How to remove empty tags respecting the schema contraints?

Hi,
I'm generating an XML document with XSLT. This document have some empty tags. My question is about to remove all empty tags only if they are defined as optionnals in the schema.
Is this possible with the DOM?
Thanks in advance,
Philippe

With DOM3 validation api, elements/attributes may be checked if they may be removed.
-Check if the element is empty; getFirstChild() method returns null.
-Check if the element may be removed with DOM 3 Validation API.

Dear Odie,
May I make your example a bit more complicated by adding an additional complexType, please:
---Original ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
</DEPT>
----- New ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
<EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
<DEVISION>1</DEVISION>
<FROM_DATE>2011-01-01 </FROM_DATE>
<TO_DATE></TO_DATE>
</EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
</DEPT>
Your solution works perfectly for <SALARY>, but how would you suggest also to deal with <TO_DATE> ?
Massive thanks for your help!
N.B. Just to emphasise, in my case I have 3 levels (complexType > complexType > complexType) and many elements and I would like to know if there is any generic option to say
to remove all the empty elements from the result, as it causes to the SSJ (Systinet) Webservice to crash.

XML: empty tag issue

I use Transformer class to convert xml Document into string representation:
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
TransformerFactory transFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
transformer.setParameter(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(sw));
but if the content of the tag is empty, the output is in this format: <tag />. Can someone know how to get the following format instead: <tag></tag>?
Thanks,

I suggest that you write a specific function to translate the string with auto-close tags to empty tags instead. It is not very difficult to do and you can look at [http://sourceforge.net/projects/light-html2xml|http://sourceforge.net/projects/light-html2xml] where you will find a similar java function to convert HTML to well-formed XML.

How to delete empty tags after xml-import

Hello collegues,
I'm totally new in this forum so excuse me if I make a mistake, but I've a little question.
I've imported text and images with a xml-import but sometimes empty tags (the colored invisible blocks) are in my text, with the result that I can't Find/Change on double-returns.
Does anybody know an awnser to this matter? I would love to write an apple-script that will find/change this so i don't have to look after all my pages.
Thank you very much in advance.

ThePictureCreator wrote:
...I can't Find/Change on double-returns.
What's your search query? I think you should be able to, with either a grep find of "\r+" or a normal text find of "^p^p". InDesign pretends like the tag-holding characters aren't there for the purpose of search. But you will lose the empty elements along with the extra returns. Maybe that is the problem?
