How to solve the IllegalDataException in jdom2 library? - java

I am using jdom 2.0.6 version and received this IllegalDataException:
Error in setText for tokenization:
it fails on calling the setText() method.
Element text = new Element("Text");
text.setText(doc.getText());
It seems some characters in 'text' it doesn't accept. For two examples:

Should I specify encoding somewhere or for some other reasons?

In fact you just have to escape your text which contains illegal characters with CDATA :
Element text = new Element("Text");
text.setContent(new CDATA(doc.getText()));
The reverse operation (reading text escaped with CDATA is transparent in JDOM2, you won't have to escape it back).
For my tests I added an illegal character at the end of my text by creating one from hex value 0x2 like that :
String text = doc.getText();
int hex = 0x2;
text += (char) hex;

As far as I see, this encoding is correct and only contains the standard alphabet of characters for a Base64 encoding. If I decode this encoding here, I get a correct translation. However, I tried various approaches to decode it programmatically and did not find a solution yet.
Let contentEncoded be the string containing the encoded file. I tried the following:
java.util.Base64.getDecoder.decode(contentEncoded)
java.util.Base64.getDecoder.decode(contentEncoded.getBytes)
java.util.Base64.getDecoder.decode(contentEncoded.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8))
java.util.Base64.getUrlDecoder.decode(contentEncoded))
java.util.Base64.getUrlDecoder.decode(contentEncoded.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8))
java.util.Base64.getMimeDecoder.decode(contentEncoded.replaceAll("\\n", "").replaceAll("\\r", ""))
However, all of them resulted in an error message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal base64 character a.
My question is: Am I not seeing something obvious? Are there some hidden control characters? Has anybody had similar issues and was able to fix them?
Just remove line breaks and it should work.
contentEncoded.replace("\n", "")
The following snippet decodes the encoding correctly:
val decodedWithMime = java.util.Base64.getMimeDecoder.decode(contentEncoded)
val convertedByteArray = decodedWithMime.map(_.toChar).mkString
as pointed out by comments, the error message Illegal Base64 character a corresponds to the hex value for the newline character \n. Using the Mime Decoder it is possible to decode the string without removing the newline characters beforehand.

Illegal Character in XML are not being replaced

SOLUTION So this was not an xml issue at all. My xml escapes were done properly, however there was an encoding issue. So i would like to share my solution with everyone, i hope you find this useful.
public static String entityEncode(String text) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
String result = text;
if (result == null) {
return result;
}
byte ptext[] = result.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
String value = new String(ptext, "UTF-8");
String temp = XMLStringUtil.escapeControlChrs(value);
return temp;
}
EXPLANATION The xml function above is for XML 1.0. We take our given text, convert it into a byte since String does not have an associated encoding. After which we create a new string off of the byte in "UTF-8". That is also why java was just telling me that character reference error with &#, it couldn't recognize the character at fault. Now that I did the encoding and assigned it to UTF-8, there are no issues and the xml escape proceeds properly!
EDIT: How do i print out all illegal xml characters in the provided string? According to StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml parameters? The problem i have is that i don't want to escape everything, because it doesn't properly decode after. So right now, i just need to find out what my invalid characters in the text are. The oens that are causing issues and need to be encoded.
I have the following error message:
ERROR: 'Character reference "&#'
ERROR: 'com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Character reference "&#'
It does not specifically tell me what the character is which is a problem.
I do my original XML parse to convert to an xml document and then after that. I sanitize further to remove illegal characters
String xml10pattern = "[^"
+ "\u0009\r\n"
+ "\u0020-\uD7FF"
+ "\uE000-\uFFFD"
+ "\ud800\udc00-\udbff\udfff"
+ "]";
However, it's not removing them so i'm not sure how to go about this. Currently i have:
String temp = entityEncode(temp);
String legal = temp.replaceAll(xml10pattern , "");
item.setResponseBody(legal);
Entity encode just uses a standard xml parse class to escape characters XMLStringUtil.escapeControlChrs which is based off of StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml and just has additional escapes, nothing removed. But something is being missed.

Java 8 Base64 Encode (Basic) doesn't add new line anymore. How can I reimplement this?

I essentially have the exact opposite problem as
new-line-appending-on-my-encrypted-string
It seems like the old Java Base64 utility would always add new lines every 76 characters when returning a string, but using the following code, I don't get those breaks I need.
Path path = Paths.get(file);
byte[] data = Files.readAllBytes(path);
String txt= Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(data);
Is there an easy way to tell the encoder to add the newlines?
I've tried implementing a stringbuilder to insert the newlines, But it ends up changing the entire output (I copy the text from java console to HxD editor, and compare against my known working 'BLOB' with newlines).
String txt= Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(data);
//Byte code for newline
byte b1 = 0x0D;
byte b2 = 0x0A;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < txt.length(); i++) {
if (i > 0 && (i % 76 == 0)) {
sb.append((char)b1);
sb.append((char)b2);
}
sb.append(txt.charAt(i));
}
EDIT (in response to question):
It's not the easiest thing to explain, but when I don't use string builder, the output of the encode will start like this:
AAAAPAog4lBVgGJrT2b+mQVicHN3d////////3hhcDJiLWVtMjUwLWVtMjUwLWRldjA0NTUAAAAAAA
But I want it to look like this:
AAAAPAog4lBVgGJrT2b+mQVicHN3d////////3hhcDJiLWVtMjUwLWVtMjUwLWRldjA0NTUAAAAA..AA
As you can see, the ".." represents 0x0D and 0X0A or a newline, which is insterted at the 76th character (this is what the old base64 would output).
However, when I append the bytes b1 and b2 (newline) after the 76th character, the output becomes:
BPwAFHwA0CUFoG8AgDRCAAIlQgAAJUIAAhUfNEIAAiUkmw/0fADQFSInART/ADUlfADQFQE0fADQ..
So it looks like the ".." is in the right spot, but everything before it is different.
Thanks!
You want getMimeEncoder instead:
MIME
Uses the "The Base64 Alphabet" as specified in Table 1 of RFC 2045 for encoding and decoding operation. The encoded output must be represented in lines of no more than 76 characters each and uses a carriage return '\r' followed immediately by a linefeed '\n' as the line separator. No line separator is added to the end of the encoded output. All line separators or other characters not found in the base64 alphabet table are ignored in decoding operation.
(emphasis mine)
Note that the encoding scheme is otherwise the same as the basic encoder from getEncoder - they are both derived from RFC 2045.
Today I splitted Base64 representation of X509Certificate with the following code:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int chunksCount = str.length()/76;
for(int i=0;i<chunksCount;i++){
sb.append(str.substring(76*i,76*(i+1))).append("\r\n");
}
if(str.length() % 76 != 0) sb.append(str.substring(76*chunksCount)).append("\r\n");
I think, adding big parts better than iterating over each letter. Also, some libraries provide Base64 encoder with special parameter allowing to split with required part size but I had to use some library without such feature.

How to replace invalid characters using java

Invalid XML: Error on line 190: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x10) was found in the CDATA section.
I get this error while parsing an XML file, I used String.replaceAll to replace this character but my regex pattern seems to be incorrect.
The following is a different string, but it just gives me back the original string. How should I do it?
str = str.replaceAll("\\^p", "");
Use this:
String replaced = your_original_string.replaceAll("\\x10", "");
The xdd... is the Java syntax to match a single unicode character
Your error said Unicode: 0x10
str = str.replace("\u0010", "");
Or maybe you need a space
str = str.replace("\u0010", " ");

textarea fields parsing technique

I have a jsp page of elements mapped with XML mapping. One of the textarea field is parsing the elements if you enter > or < special characters to > and < and &. This is giving problem while parsing XML elements.
suppose IF i have an textarea field name like <Explain> . Then i have entered the value as < as given here: <Explain> < </Explain>. Here the field is converting to &/Explain> How can i avoid this problem.
I have a code in my java file like this.
if(elementStr.indexOf("&") != -1)
elementStr = elementStr.replaceAll("&[^a][^m][^p][^;]", "&");
How can i avoid parsing the special characters to symbols.
You can simple use this:
${fn:escapeXml(elementStr)};
where is your String
