Question on using event handler with SAX Parsing and DOM

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:10:08 -0700

I plan to use SAX parsing for my project. The event handler logic gets complex and not clean when using SAX parsing. I was wondering if it is possible to capture events and create the DOM document for each row we are interested in and parse dom document to capture the information we want at each row end element notification? Can some one shed some light if we can achive this? Please provide your suggestions.

for example if we can create a dom document and add all elements, attributes for the row as events happen for row tag, During end element notification we could use dom methods to get what we want from each row.. If we can achive this that way the event handler would be clean.
<root>
<row>
<id>200</id><name>User1</name>.....
</row>
<row>
...
</row>
</root>

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:42:17 -0700

Hi All,

Am new to XSLT and trying to write some xslt which is having 1st record as the header,2nd record as the status and 3rd records as the trainings and all these 3 records can be occured n numbers of time, we want that fixed length file need to be converted into xml file, below is the simple input and out file should look like.

Sample Input is :

H123
S111SE
Tjavaasp
H231
S112SA
Tjavaaix

Output should be like below with above Input :

-<Information>

Draw time limit with xslt 2.0 help

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:30:19 -0700

Hi,

I have a multiple xslt process.

I would like to divide a group, for example the party that start between
00:00:00 - 10:00:00 called as "Group A"
10:00:00 - 14:00:00 will call as "Group B"
or 14:00:00 - 20:00:00 will call as "Group C"

and I would like to record the "number" attribute where is start and end the party_group element can be anywhere, doesn't have to be at the beginning.

I'm also not sure how to do if time gt than 10:00:00 and less than 14:00:00 :confused:

So I was thinking to create another variable including the "start" element within phase1, therefore I can group by "start" date after I created the "number" then remove "start" element to get the final result. Not sure how to remove the element though :confused:

Will this be possible to do? I'm confused how to keep the start and end number. I hope someone can give me some tips. Thanks so much

Here is my input

<parties>
    <events>
        <event id="a">
            <type>dance party</type>
            <title>80s</title>
            <start>2009-12-01T00:28:30</start>
        </event>
        <event id="b">
            <type>cocktail party</type>
            <title>Flower Garden</title>
            <start>2009-12-01T10:09:34</start>
        </event>
        <event id="c">
            <type>cocktail party</type>
            <title>Prewedding party</title>
            <start>2009-12-01T14:30:34</start>
        </event>
        <event id="d">
            <type>kids party</type>
            <title>Fairy Party</title>
            <start>2009-12-01T20:00:00</start>
        </event>
        <event id="e">
            <type>kids party</type>
            <title>Animals Party</title>
            <start>2009-12-01T20:05:00</start>
        </event>
    </events>
</parties>

I would like my final result look like this

<mypartiescollection Version="1.1">
   <party_group name="Group A" fromNumber="1" toNumber="1"/>
    <party_group name="Group B" fromNumber="2" toNumber="3"/>
   <party_group name="Group C" fromNumber="4" toNumber="6"/>
    <dance_party number="1" id="a">
        <title>80s</title>
    </dance_party>
    <cocktail_party number="2" id="b">
        <title>Flower Garden</title>
    </cocktail_party>
    <cocktail_party number="3" id="c">
        <title>Prewedding party</title>
    </cocktail_party>
    <comment message="my comment" number="4"/>
    <kids_party number="5" id="d">
        <title>Fairy Party</title>
    </kids_party>
<comment message="my comment" number="5"/>
    <kids_party number="6" id="e">
        <title>Animals Party</title>

Need help with xslt

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:03:53 -0700

Hi,

I need some help in xslt. I am trying to develop a xslt , I have pasted the short format of all 3 files below, The Input xml file. The xslt and output xml.
I will be very great full If anybody can help. I have tried everything but no luck. I am using @@@@ for comment or to explain in below files.

If you see my xml file I have 2 section in the xml <Partcase1> and <Testlot>

From the <Case1row> i want last 3 rows of data. But not from the first module , I want the data from second section of <Case1row>
example : (63,3,PASS) and (62,3,PASS) @@@@@@@@@@---these are located in property/data see below-Last2 sections in <case1row>--@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I want these 3 values to be picked up and show in my output xml for parameters.

Example output :

<Parameters>
<Parameter>
<unit>m</unit>
<Value>63</Value>
<code>728</code>
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
<unit>ul</unit>
<Value>3</Value>
<code>137</code>
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
<unit>in</unit>
<Value>PASS</Value>
<code>1526</code>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
<Parameters>
<Parameter>
<unit>SQ</unit>
<measurementValue>62</measurementValue>
<code>728</code>
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
<unit>MT</unit>
<Value>3</Value>
<code>137</code>
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
<unit>LT</unit>
<Value>FAIL</Value>
<code>1526</code>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>

You can see in above example If I am taking the Units from my 2nd section of xml <testlot>
and I want to take the <<value>> from 1st section of input xml <Case1row> and <<Code>> as you can see I hardcoded it in xslt.

Can anybody help me out with this

& character needed in URL link from XML file

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:00:54 -0700

Hi,

New to this forum but I was hoping somebody could help me...

I have an XML file controlling links from a flash file.

I need the XML file to return a URL containing the & character without encoding it to &

The XML reads as follows...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<content>
<image>
<path><![CDATA[http://www.Domain.co.uk/UserFiles/Image/DoorsFlash/Amazonas.jpg]]></path>
<description><![CDATA[Amazonas]]></description>
<data><![CDATA[http://www.Domain.co.uk/default.aspx?page=83&HasProvider=Y&ProviderType=Node&Pr oviderID=825]]></data>
</image>
</content>

The URL in the <data> tags is being returned as...
http://www.Domain.co.uk/default.aspx?page=83&HasProvider=Y&ProviderType=Node&Provider ID=825

Because the & characters are being replaced with & the URL is incorrect!

Is there any way of making the XML file to return the link without replacing the & characters?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :o)

Thanks,
Bruce!

GETTING COUNT AND POSITION using XSLT 1.0

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:53:26 -0700

Hi Guys,

Here is my requirement.

sample XML

<root>
<item>
...
<data name="x">...</data>
<data name="title">uday</data>
<data name="y">...</data>
....
</item>
<item>
...
<data name="x">...</data>
<data name="title">uday</data>
<data name="y">...</data>
....
</item>
<item>
...
<data name="x">...</data>
<data name="title">bhaskar</data>
<data name="y">...</data>
....
</item>
<item>
...
<data name="x">...</data>
<data name="title">bhaskar</data>
<data name="y">...</data>
....
</item>

<item>
...
<data name="x">...</data>
<data name="title">bhaskar</data>
<data name="y">...</data>
....
</item>

Desired o/p XML

<rss>
<item>
..
<position>1</position>
<total>2</total>
....
</item>
<item>
..
<position>2</position>
<total>2</total>
....
</item>
<item>
..
<position>1</position>
<total>3</total>
....
</item>
<item>
..
<position>2</position>
<total>3</total>
....
</item>
<item>
..
<position>3</position>
<total>3</total>
....
</item>
</rss>

for each item in the input xml, we get item in the output.
total represents the no. of items with the same title value
position represents the position of the item with a paticular title.

Iam using xslt 1.0. I guess it is possible by using keys.Can someone help me out please

Thanks you in advance

XSLT - Newbie up to his arm pits

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:15:49 -0700

Ok I'm trying to develop my first dynamic page with a XML feed. The code below works to display the first record of the file, then I moved on to have all records displaying and it all fall in a heap.

With a

"SAXParseException: Expected end of tag 'table' (Untitled-6.xsl, line 72, column 3)"

error message. The line it refers to is </xsl:for-all> which I thought was the correct code to cycle through and display all record in the table.

Can anyone assist me in identifying where this is falling over.

Micheal

Code

<table width="1500" border="1" cellpadding="2">
<tr bgcolour="#9acd32">
<th>Class</th>
<th>Co Drivers first Name</th>
<th>Co Driver Surname</th>
<th>Nationality </th>
<th>Drivers First name </th>
<th>Driver Surname</th>
<th>Entrant</th>
<th>Group</th>
<th>Manufacturer</th>
<th>Nat</th>
<th>No</th>
<th>Priority</th>
<th>Vehicle</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="main/entry"/>
<tr>

but the validator tells me that the DTD is not valid, with this error:

Does someone know what I should write to have a correct DTD with the special characters I want to insert?

</dog>
</zoo>

After, unmmarshall this, and then be able to acces the object zoo, and check if the childrens are dog or cat...

need help in XSLT 1.0 to get the current date

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 09:01:54 -0700

HI friends,
need help in XSLT 1.0 to get the current system date
Any help is highly appreciated.

I have done the below that I read from other posts but without any luck.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" >
<xsl:template name="today"
xmlns:cal="java:java.util.GregorianCalendar">
<xsl:variable name="rightNow" select="cal:getInstance()" />

<xsl:variable name="month" select="cal:get($rightNow, 2) + 1" />
<xsl:variable name="day" select="cal:get($rightNow, 5)" />
<xsl:variable name="year" select="cal:get($rightNow, 1)" />
<xsl:value-of
select="$year" />-<xsl:value-of
select="$month" />-<xsl:value-of
select="$day" />

<xsl:element name="CurrDate">
<xsl:attribute name="TodayDate">
<xsl:value-of select="$rightNow"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="today">
<xsl:element name="CurrDate">
<xsl:attribute name="TodayDate">
<xsl:value-of select="rightNow"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Can this be done with XSLT?

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 10:01:58 -0700

Hi Everyone,

I've been stuck on a XSLT problem trying to convert an XML doc to another XML and now I'm wondering if it's even possible to be done with XSTL. Here is a very simple breakdown of what I'm trying to do:

Convert this XML:

<Request>
   <SomeTypeA>
       <Variable>A</Variable>
   </SomeTypeA>
    <SomeTypeB>
       <Variable>B</Variable>
   </SomeTypeB>
   <SomeTypeB>
       <Variable>B</Variable>
   </SomeTypeB>
</Request>

To:

<Group name = Request>
   <Group name = SomeTypeA>
       <Variable>A</Variable>
   </Group>
   <Group name = SomeTypeB>
      <Item>
           <Variable>A</Variable>
      </Item>
      <Item>
           <Variable>A</Variable>
      </Item>
    </Group>
</Group>

The key here is I want to group all Nodes under <Request> that have the same name, in the example above <SomeTypeB> and process them together so that they belong to the same <Group name = SomeTypeB> after the conversion and they are separate by the new <Item> tags.

So far everything I tried has failed, the closest I get is that I get two sets <Group name = SomeTypeB> tags which is incorrect for my needs.

Can this even be done with XSLT or do I have to use Java or something else?

Much appreciated if you could solve this!!

Thanks

Help needed with XSLT please!

Hi All,

I'm actually quite new to XSLT and I got this issue I need to resolve. I'm converting this web service XML request to an XML file my system will understand using XSLT. The problem is the guy who wrote it quit so now I have to make some mods to new functionality and I'm kind of stuck. The crux of the problem is that the current xslt will take an XML such as
<Table>
<TypeA>
<SomeVar> A </SomeVar>
</Type>
<TypeA>
<SomeVar> B </SomeVar>
</TypaA>
</Table>

and convert it to:

<group name = TypeA>
<Item>
<SomeVar> A </SomeVar>
</Item>
<Item>
<SomeVar> B </SomeVar>
</Item>
</group>

Now I need to get rid of the <Table> tags from the input XML altogether and still produce the same output after XSLT is applied.

Here is the XSLT which currently handles this conversion:

<xsl:template name="GroupTable">
<xsl:element name="Group">
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="local-name(node()[local-name()][1])"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:for-each select="node()">
<xsl:if test="local-name() != ''">
<Item>
<xsl:for-each select="node()">
<xsl:call-template name="CheckNode"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</Item>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>

I dont know what a couple of things do:

1) <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> .. Which nodes does this include?
2) "local-name(node()[local-name()][1])"/ what does this evaluate to?
3) Why there are two for loops to go through the set, shouldn't it go through the nodes only once?

Sorry if some of these are stupid questions - I'm very new to this.

Thanks,

Jiggs
