XPAAJ and XML Parsers

Does anyone know which XML parser is used by default in the XPAAJ API's.
We are trying to compile an application into the Oracle Database. The solution then uses the internal Oracle JVM which strips out form data. However there appears to be a problem extracting xml data and we think its down to the Oracle XML parsers. Running the solution from the command line works as expected.
Anyone have any ideas?

In addition to what lk555 says, you have to specify the position of the node with reference to its other siblings to specifically point to the node you are referring to.
if you have the following structure:
<root>
<child/>
<child/>
<child/>
</root>
The third child is obtained by /child[3], instead of just /child. The value 3 specifies its position.
Hope this helps

Personalization Server And XML Parsers

hello there,
I am a new user of Weblogic commerce suite 2.0.
WE want to develop a portal by using above mentioned S/W. We want to get news from Reuters(which is XML data) and want to show it on our page. For this purpose do we need a XML parser or WLCS has in built support for this ????

You can mix CMP and BMP beans. You could deploy the various
personalization server related beans as bmp and then use CMP for the
components.

Hi,
What I would like to do is the deployment with MS SQL Server with cmp.
But I think it isn't possible because for the personalization server there isn't
the -bmp- version of the jars, if you check the weblogic-cmp.properties and
weblogic-bmp.properties for the personalization server are deployed the same
jars.
I've made some research and find out that the jars are the same and that the
beans of usermanagemet are always bmp.
Thanks.

own data-mapping, that would be great too. There's nothing stopping you

XPath and XML parsers

Hi,
Does any API's provided in the new Java XML pack provide a way to get the XPath value for a particular node in a XML document!!!
thanks in advance!!

Experiences with Adobe XPAAJ, XML Parsers, OC4J /AS 10.1.2,10.1.3 and DB10g

Over the past couple of weeks we have been working on a solution which uses the newly available adobe XPAAJ api's (XML/PDF Access API for Java) for Java.
The client has a legacy requirement to where users are issued with a pdf form which they complete, save and upload to the server via a JSP. A neat bit of Java code utilizing the XPAAJ API's then strips out the form entered data and spits out XML. This is then parsed and inserted into relational tables within the schema.
Our solution needs to be deployed to an Oracle stack. However we ran into a number of problems when deploying the solution to AS 10.1.2. The adobe API's are not compatible with the Oracle XML Parsers. When extracting the form data, no error is reported and the code which performs the xml parsing just fails. Very nasty.
The main problem has been that Oracle XDK libraries have been hard-coded into the classpath of the container using the referential JAR file Class-Path mechanism. Altering this has required the use of the JRE extension library mechanism, or altering the boot classpath of the JVM when it is launched to load the alternative XML parser implementation instead. While this works, it has been an unsupported operation since the effect of this change is not limited to a specific application – it’s effect are felt across the entire container and this may lead to unpredictable results at runtime.
~http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/10131/how_to/how-to-swapxmlparser/doc/readme.html
We did look at a number of other solutions including embedding the java classes I'd written into the database. After loading the apache Xerces api's into our schema we hit upon the same problem. It seems that the same thing happens in the database and the Oracle XML parser is used by default.. Please see SR Number : 6153038.994 on Metalink.
If you can upgrade to AS 10.1.3 then you can follow the excellent how to at:http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/10131/how_to/how-to-swapxmlparser/doc/readme.html . Demo code can be found at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/10131/how_to/how-to-swapxmlparser/how-to-swapxmlparser.zip
The how-to details how to swap xml parsers within the application server.
Other possible solutions that are also available include:
- Shelling out to the OS from the DB or Apps Server, You can then execute the app as a command line app with a custom classpath. Very bad architecture design.
- Setting up an RMI client / server application where client is the db or apps server. You can find examples of this on the web. google 'Simple RMI example'.
- Bootstrapping the XML parser in AS 10.1.2 (unsupported).
I hope people have found this informative. It might save someone a lot of time.

"When I was installing SOA 10.1.3.1.0 on oracle 10.2.0.1 and it was giving error that it needs minimum 10.2.0.3, just wondering 10.1.2.0.2 + SOA =will this work?"
so you talk about the db version. SOA 10.1.3.x runs on 10.2.0.1 and above (I ran for the longest time on XE) and if I remember correctly that's a warning, and not a hard prereq.
Regarding Appserver versions - soa 10.1.3 runs on AS 10.1.3 only

Help needed with Java 1.4 and xml Runtime problem

I am working on a java 1.3 and JAXP1.1 written code. Now I want to compile and run it using J2SE 1.4. Here are the import statements from the existing code.
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import org.xml.sax.Locator;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import java.sql.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
When I run the existing(using java 1.3 and Jaxp1.1) code I have to include the files crimson.jar and jaxp.jar in the windows 2000 CLASSPATH and works fine.
But when I compile and run it using J2SE 1.4 which has the built in support for the saxp, I thought that I don't have to specify any CLASSPATH for the new 1.4 so I don't specify any Classpath and it gives me the Microsoft "ClassFactory cannot find the requested class" error which means that even thought the new java 1.4 has the xml classes as libraries yet it still requies some .jar files to be listed in the CLASSPATH.
If I am right then what path will work(i.e what jar class I need to add to the CLASSPATH).
Thanks for your help.
RA.

Thanks for your reply,
I think I didn't specify when the error occurs. The ClassFactory related error occurs when I run the program, it compiles without any error.
From what I understood somewhere in the java 1.4 docs, that the new 1.4 has the xml libraries built in by default so one doesn't need to give the classpaths just like we don't give any CLASSPATH for using swing and many of the other java packages. That is one thing.
Second thing is that I also tried to use the java_xml_pack-spring02 and java_xml_pack-summer02; but non of them include the crimson.jar and the jaxp.jar files in them which are the 2 .jar files that makes the program run fine when used under the java 1.3 with combination of the jaxp1.1(which was downloaded seperately and then the CLASSPATH for it was set.).
Can you please help what .jar files do I need to use instead. I tried to use the ones that the new java_xml_pack-spring02 and java_xml_pack-summer02 has for the jaxp in them.
Thanks again.

Weblogic 12g Server - EAR with WAR - how can I have different XML parsers

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to have two different XML parsers in the same enterprise application.
By backend Spring container require a XML parser and my JSP code which has XSLT logic require another XML parser.
If I specify -D System property then it is applied to the whole Enterprise application. Instead I want a way to specify different XML parsers one for Spring backend container and the other for JSP pages.
I am deploying my application in Weblogic and it is an EAR file.

try {
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse( new File(XMLFILE) );

Javax.xml.parsers Parser Failes at URGENT..URGENT.

Hai,
I am using JAVA PARSER to parse my xml file. My XML file is :
<QUERY>SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMP_DATE > 18/10/2000</QUERY>.
My Sample Code is:
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.DOMException;
factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
fistream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
document = builder.parse(fistream);
e=document.getDocumentElement();
curElm = (Element)nodeList.item(0);
return_Value =((Text)curElm.getFirstChild()).getData().trim();
Giving wrong output:
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMP_DATE
Activally, I had to get
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMP_DATE > 18/10/2000.
I do not know what's went wrong ?
Please help me. It is very urgent to my project.
Thanks a lot

Javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder to skip invalid XML characters?

Hi,
I convert XML files into flat files. In doing so I call the API DocumentBuilder.parse(File f). If the XML file f contains an invalid XML character, the API throws a SAXException.
My question is: while I know that certain invalid XML chars are not part of the data and therefore can be safely ignored in the conversion, is there a way to tell the API to skip those chars?

Nope. Compliant XML parsers are required to parse the XML as it is and not to "repair" it in any way. Your best option is not to have badly-formed XML in the first place, so if you are the one generating the XML, you should fix that process. But if you have bozo customers generating it, and you can't make them do it right, then pre-process the XML to drop the bad characters.

Along with jdk1.4.2, Sun has bundled a currently ancient version of JAXP.
So, get a recent version of a JAXP implementation (e.g. with JWSDP1.6), probably contained in jar-files called jaxp-api.jar, dom.jar, sax.jar, xalan.jar and xercesImpl.jar, and add these to your classpath when you're compiling/running.
You're not done yet! Because the old jaxp libraries are bundled with your JVM, the classloader will find them through your bootclasspath, and they will be prefered above the new implementation you just added to the classpath. To resolve this, the JVM creators came up with the endorsed mechanism. This allows you to provide new classes for a list of predefined packages. These classes are already included in the jvm distribution, but are foreseen to be updated. See for more information about the endorsed mechanism: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/standards/ .
So to be short, you also have to make the jvm recognise them as endorsed libraries. E.g. by adding them to the <java-home>/lib/endorsed directory or by setting the java.endorsed.dirs property to the directories which include the new jar files.
Your commandline to run app.class would become: java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/home/endorsedDir;/anotherDir app

Javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException:

if Any one have the solution please reply...
Thanks

What is this "AElfred"? Your ant task on the second machine is probably using another XML parser. Print out the parsers name and try to conifigure the same parser from the first machine on the second one.

Contents of META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory?

I am currently working on an applet that solves Sudoku puzzles, allowing you to build your own in a Constructor and then solve them in a seperate Solver. To do this, we are implementing the puzzles files as XML documents.
I have the code completely complied and on the server ( [sudoku.unl.edu|sudoku.unl.edu]) and it runs NEARLY perfectly, however when trying to access the server to save the xml code, the apache error_log presents this message: "File does not exist: classes/META-INF/services
/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory"
Looking at the Java Doc here it says that the program should look for that in the jars. I am unsure of exactly how the applet is interacting with the server, but typing "java -version" yields:
java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode)Notably, the code works PERFECTLY in NetBeans, contacting the server using SCP and uploading the file and such, so the code doesn't seem to be the problem, unless I need to direct the DocumentBuilder code somehow. This is the code that I believe is causing the trouble (I have tried to include all relevant imports that are in my code):

               System.out.println(e);
          catch (TransformerException tranE){
               tranE.printStackTrace();
          catch (ParserConfigurationException e)
               System.out.println("IO ERROR8");
               System.out.println(e);
          catch (SAXException e)
               System.out.println("IO ERROR9");
               System.out.println(e);
          }So my question is, what exactly are the contents of the file in the META-INF/services folder? I have manually created this file in my classes directory, where the program is searching. When I place text in it, it appends the text with .class and searches for that file, but doesn't seem to do anything with the file. I attempted directing it to the "DocumentBuilderFactory.class" file that I extracted from the classes.jar included with the JDK.
I feel like all I need is this file to contain the correct content and the code will FINALLY work, but I have not been able to find anything out there on it.
Thank for you for your help, sorry this was such a long message.

Thanks!
Thanks for the fast reply. I don't know if I made my point clear.
I do not want to determine the parser by myself. I want the client system use the default parser, so I do not have the hit of downloading the fairly large parser jar.
However, I want it not to do an empty request to the server for nothing. This turn around time kills an Applet. I want a fast loading applet!
I'll go in trial and error mode, when I find the time next week.
Thanks again, I appreciate it!
