Q: Serializing a DOM Document
Hi all!
I am currently struggling with serializing a manually built
DOM Document; as an example, consider this one:
- a Document Element named "root"
- a single child Element in root, called "child"
- "child" has one child node of type Text; this text has the value
"FirstLine\nSecondLine"
Now, what I want is a serialization result, which includes line
breaks and indentations reflecting the structure of my DOM document,
but does not change the text value, i.e. the result should look like:
<root>
<child>FirstLine
SecondLine</child>
<root>
The problem I am facing is that I must switch of the preserveSpace
options, otherwhise the indentation of "child" will not be done, but
then the newLine character in my text value is changed into a space,
which must not happen in my special case. So, to summarize, the two
results I can produce are:
(1) indentation=true, preserveSpace=true
<root><child>FirstLine
SecondLine</child></root>
(2) indentation=true, preserveSpace=false
<root>
<child>FirstLine SecondLine</child
</root>
I am aware of the option in OutputFormat, to specify a
list of Elements, whose text nodes will be printed unescaped,
but this is not fitting in my case, since I don't know which
Elements will be put into my DOM document.
My question now is, why are text values changed, if preserveSpace
is set to false? At least I think there should be an option to
switch off these changes to text values.
Regards, Gregor

Re: missing org.w3c.dom.DocumentType methods in xerces.jar in
Xerces-J-bin.1.1.2.zip
Posted by Jose Correia <jo...@exinet.co.za>.
Hi Robert
I also encountered a few problems when compiling with sun's jdk, apparently they
don't sort out dependencies as well as they should. I then got jikes111 compiler
and it works quite nicely. It also has the bonus of being a lot faster that
Sun's compiler.
Cheers

Re: missing org.w3c.dom.DocumentType methods in xerces.jar in Xerces-J-bin.1.1.2.zip
Posted by "Robert E. Newby" <Bo...@renewassoc.com>.
Hi Eric,
FYI, after deleting all previous Xerces downloads, etc. from my system I
reinstalled the source distribution (from Xerces-J-src.1.1.2.zip) and then
ran "make jars", which of course resets the javac class path as needed. The
results, where DocumentType is concerned, are *the same as before*.
Here is the output from "javap -public org.w3c.dom.DocumentType" on the
DocumentType.class file created by the "make jars" script:
Compiled from DocumentType.java
public interface org.w3c.dom.DocumentType extends org.w3c.dom.Node
/* ACC_SUPER bit NOT set */
{
public abstract org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap getEntities();
public abstract java.lang.String getName();
public abstract org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap getNotations();
}
This despite the fact that the other three (3) public declarations are
indeed in the source file. Go figure! Of course, the xerces.jar shows the
same set of public method declarations, and not the others that are in the
source file.
For what it's worth, I am beginning to suspect that this is some sort of
obscure JVM issue -- I am running Sun's J2SE JDK/JRE 1.3 FCS (build
1.3.0-C), with the Java HotSpot Client, on Windows NT 4 SP6a. The reason I
say this is (i) because of the above and (ii) because the other instances of
xerces.jar that are in different download directories on my system (e.g.,
the one that ships with Apache ecs, and the one that ships with Apache
xalan) also are *not* showing anything but those 3 methods listed above when
I look inside them at the compiled DocumentType class.
I will now stop trying to rectify this on my end, unless you have other
ideas as to what may be wrong. (Again, there are no other occurrences of
org.w3c.dom on my system, anywhere.)
Regards,
Bob

Hi, Bob,
I just ran "javap -public org.w3c.dom.DocumentType" on the
DocumentType.class that i extracted from "xerces.jar" in 1.1.2 distribution.
it gives me back both "getSystemId" and "getPublicId" methods.
You may want to try to compile your program with "javac -classpath
...\...\xerces.jar" instead of relying on the jar file placed in the
jre\lib\ext dir, see if the same problem still pop up.

Re: missing org.w3c.dom.DocumentType methods in xerces.jar in Xerces-J-bin.1.1.2.zip
Posted by Eric Ye <er...@locus.apache.org>.
Hi, Bob,
I just ran "javap -public org.w3c.dom.DocumentType" on the
DocumentType.class that i extracted from "xerces.jar" in 1.1.2 distribution.
it gives me back both "getSystemId" and "getPublicId" methods.
You may want to try to compile your program with "javac -classpath
...\...\xerces.jar" instead of relying on the jar file placed in the
jre\lib\ext dir, see if the same problem still pop up.

Hi Eric,
No, it's not a classpath issue; I do not use class path at all. Rather, I
use the Java 2 Platform's Extension Mechanism, which provides for placing
jars in $JAVA_HOME$\jre\lib\ext, and none of the other jars there contain
the package(s) in question. This is the first time I have downloaded
anything containing those packages.
Also, as I said, my IDE (Sun's Forte for Java) allows me to peek inside a
jar in order to check out a compiled class's members. In this case, these
are as I stated in my previous email, which is to say that they are
definitely not all there. Also, I downloaded the zip in question twice,
just to double check my findings. No change -- I cannot compile when that
interface's getPublicId and getSystemId methods are referenced directly,
either from within Forte or external to it.
This is not a problem that will hinder me; but I do suspect there is a snafu
in the latest build process. In the meantime, I will probably just compile
that class from source myself and stuff it into the jar.
Thanks,
Bob

Couldn't reproduce your problem(I have a program that invoke the 2 methods
your reported missing) , could there be some problem with your classpath?
e.g. other jar file that also include org.w3c.dom package which is out of
date.
Try clean up your classpath with just
"...\...\xerces.jar;...\...\xercesSamples.jar;."

BUG: missing org.w3c.dom.DocumentType methods in xerces.jar in Xerces-J-bin.1.1.2.zip
Posted by "Robert E. Newby" <Bo...@renewassoc.com>.
To whom it may concern:
I recently downloaded and installed the latest binary distribution of Xerces
(Xerces-J-bin.1.1.2.zip), and have been using that distribution's xerces.jar
dated Friday, June 23, 2000 3:47:38 PM.
While compiling code (in conjunction with my reading of the new O'Reilly
book Java and XML), I discovered that this jar's org.w3c.dom.DocumentType
class (i.e., interface) is *missing* at least two (2) method declarations,
namely:
* getPublicId
* getSystemId
An inspection of this jar using my IDE shows the following three (3) method
declarations for org.w3c.dom.DocumentType, and no others:
* getEntities
* getName
* getNotations
This is in contrast to the Xerces 1.1.2 API documentation (plus the source
packaged with Xerces-J-src.1.1.2.zip), which includes the following six (6)
method declarations:
* getEntities
* getInternalSubset
* getName
* getNotations
* getPublicId
* getSystemId
For now, I am working around this by directly using the concrete class
org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentTypeImpl.

Bob

Re: Q: Serializing a DOM Document
Posted by Kevin Regan <ke...@valicert.com>.
I think the problem is that the Xerces J outputter is not
sophisticated enough (actually no XML outputter is as
sophisticated as I would like it to be).
In order to produce the "correct" or expected output,
the outputter must have access to the DTD or Schema.
Take the following example:
<!ELEMENT Root (A | B | #PCDATA)*>
<!ELEMENT A (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT B (#PCDATA)>
Now, we might create a DOM similar to:
<Root><A>Hello</A><B>Goodbye</B></Root>
The outputter has no way of knowing (without looking
at the DTD) that it can not turn the previous into:
<Root>
<A>Hello</A>
<B>Goodbye</B>
</Root>
In the above example, the outputter has added extra
space where it thought that it had only encountered
element data (however, looking at the DTD, we know that
it was actually mixed data). This seems to be a pretty
common way of doing XML output (i.e. If any children
of an element are Text, don't indent at that level).
So, I predict that there will be lots of questions,
complaints, and problems until we come up with a
"smart" or "DTD/Schema aware" outputter.
Is there any work going towards this?
Sincerely,
Kevin Regan
