I have the following problem. Into a Java application I have to create a new XML content using XPath (I always used it to parse XML files and obtain values inside its tag, can I use it also for build a new XML content?).
So my final result (that have to be saved on a database CLOB field, not on an .xml file, but I think that this is not important) have to be something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

So what I need to do is to programmatically add the nodes and the content of these nodes (the content is obtained from a model object).
Can I do it using XPath? How?
Tnx
XPath is an API to locate nodes in a XML document. It can't create new nodes or manipulate existing nodes. So what you need is to locate the nodes to modify using XPath and then use the API of the found nodes to make the changes.
But in your case, you're starting with an empty document. Have a look at frameworks like JDOM 2 to build XML documents from scratch. This tutorial should get you started: http://www.studytrails.com/java/xml/jdom2/java-xml-jdom2-example-usage.jsp
You can't. XPath is a matching technology, not a content creation technology. Possibly you are looking for XSLT?

I am new to java, i am struggling in one program i don't know how to write it
I need some code that will read in the tasks and apply the appropriate task findings markup into the val.xml file.
For example:
A task in val.xml:
<task name="12-19" additionalIntervalInformationNeeded="No">
Converter (Cleaning)
</task>
The matching task-findings markup in the findings.xml:
<tf taskid="olive-12-19">
<task-findings val="28">
<task-finding>
<title>Left Converter</title>
</task-finding>
</task-findings>
</tf>
So the goal is to use the tasked attribute value from the element to locate the correct task-findings markup.
Incorporate the element and all child elements into the task markup (just inside the ending tag.
The result to the above examples would be as such:
<task name="12-19" additionalIntervalInformationNeeded="No">
Converter (Cleaning)
<tf taskid="olive-12-19">
<task-findings val="28">
<task-finding>
<title>Left Converter</title>
</task-finding>
</task-findings>
</tf>
</task>
Please suggest me how to write code.
From your use case, it appears that you can write a program to read in the two xml files and then edit and write them as an output file. XML files can be read and written just like TXT files in Java, you'll just need to change the file extension while reading and saving the files. This will need you to write your own parser or use regex etc methods.
Another way to go is by writing a JAXP or the Java API for XML, provided by Oracle. This will help you read, process and edit XML files via Java.
There are other parser APIs called DOM Parser API & SAX (Simple API for XML) API. That can be used to read and alter XML files. This was used by older Java versions and are useful for small XML files. Currently, the StaX or Streaming API for XML is used instead.
The tutorial blog here will help you get an idea of StaX library parsing XML files via Java.
I want to convert dynamic xml file into a specific file format. i could able to parse the xml using jsoup parser but the problem is I want to parse the nested tags and put it into a for-loop.Is there any way to do it. Attaching the sample below for reference
Input XML(sample)
<lineComponents>
<invoiceComponents>
<invoiceComponent>
<type></type>
<name></name>
<amount>16.00</amount>
<taxPercentage>0.00</taxPercentage>
<taxAmount>0E-8</taxAmount>
</invoiceComponent>
</invoiceComponents>
<acctComponents>
<acctComponent>
<componentCode>BASE</componentCode>
<glAccountNr></glAccountNr>
<baseAmount>10.00000</baseAmount>
<taxRate>0.00</taxRate>
<taxAmount>0.00000</taxAmount>
<totalAmount>10.00000</totalAmount>
<isVAT>No</isVAT>
</acctComponent>
<acctComponent>
<componentCode></componentCode>
<glAccountNr></glAccountNr>
<baseAmount>3.00000</baseAmount>
<taxRate>0.00</taxRate>
<taxAmount>0.00000</taxAmount>
<totalAmount>3.00000</totalAmount>
<isVAT>No</isVAT>

<componentCode>DISC</componentCode>
<glAccountNr></glAccountNr>
<baseAmount>-2.00000</baseAmount>

</acctComponent>
</acctComponents>
</lineComponents>
Expected output:
for(OrderItem invoiceLineItem: orderLineWrp.invoiceLineItems){
Dom.XMLNode invoiceComponentNode = invoiceComponentsNode.addChildElement(EP_OrderConstant.invoiceComponent,null,null);
invoiceComponentNode.addChildElement(EP_OrderConstant.seqId,null,null).addTextNode(getValueforNode(invoiceLineItem.EP_SeqId__c));
invoiceComponentNode.addChildElement(EP_OrderConstant.TYPE,null,null).addTextNode(getValueforNode(invoiceLineItem.EP_ChargeType__c));
invoiceComponentNode.addChildElement(EP_OrderConstant.name,null,null).addTextNode(getValueforNode(invoiceLineItem.EP_Invoice_Name__c));
invoiceComponentNode.addChildElement(EP_OrderConstant.amount,null,null).addTextNode(getValueforNode(invoiceLineItem.UnitPrice)); //Value for amount
invoiceComponentNode.addChildElement(EP_OrderConstant.taxPercentage,null,null).addTextNode(getValueforNode(invoiceLineItem.EP_Tax_Percentage__c)); //Value for taxPercentage
invoiceComponentNode.addChildElement(EP_OrderConstant.taxAmount,null,null).addTextNode(getValueforNode(invoiceLineItem.EP_Tax_Amount_XML__c)); //Value for taxAmount
}
This Xml file is dynamic. Is there any way to handle dynamic XML file into a specific format like above?
Jsoup is rather for HTML parsing.
If you have XSD/DTD to your XML, you should use JAXB-generated classes and an unmarshaller to read it.
Otherwise you can use JAXP (DOMParser, if the file is small, and XPath, or event based SAXParser(however this is not so easy to use) for really large XML files).
I have a XML file with the following content:
<example>
<firstNode>
<someInfo>Hello</someInfo>
</firstNode>
<secondNode>
<myFlagColors>
<using>RED</using>
<using>WHITE</using>
<using>BLUE</using>
</myFlagColors>
</secondNode>
</example>
I have to check that every node <using>XYZ</using> has a value (like XYZ) coming from another XML like this one:
<colorCatalog>
<color>WHITE</color>
<color>BLACK</color>
<color>RED</color>
<color>GREEN</color>
<color>BLUE</color>
<color>YELLOW</color>
<color>PINK</color>
<color>ORANGE</color>
<color>CYAN</color>
</colorCatalog>
I don´t like my current implementation made with java:
Convert every XML in a java Bean (using jaxb) and then use an iterator
to check if the value in the first bean in in the array of values of the second object.
My question: Is it possible to do this just by using xsd files? or any other way simpler than pure programming?
XML Schema Approach
If you can combine the XML documents then you could create an XSD that has a keyRef relationship between the 2 elements.
Validating the document against the schema would then highlight any errors.
If you can't combine the XML files easily then you could use xinclude (as long as your XSD parser supports it). Xerces for example supports it.
My Sample XML:
<Group-1>
<One>
<two>Name1</two>
<three>Type1</three>
</One>
<One>
<two>Name2</two>
<three>Type2</three>
</One>
</Group-1>
<Group-2>
<One-2></One-2>
</Group-2>
There are two XML different XML Parent tags in my XML.
How can i retrieve the values from the above XML using XML parsers using core java?
I have seen examples using getelementsbytagname("").But i need some method to retrieve all the values when there are many repeats and also for simple XML tags?
Can anyone plz help me on this?
you need to use JAXBContext marshall and unmarshall
I want to parse xml data using xmlbeans and store it into objects,The following is the xml file, I want to parse it, I have model I just want to store all data into model objects,

I tried and search lot for parsing the above data using xmlbeans but I didn't get proper solution for the same and I am quit new in xml data parsing,
Please have look this and suggest to parse this xml.
So you dont want to use SAX / DOM parsers ?
For xmlbeans did you get chance to look at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-beans1/
http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.0.0/guide/conGettingStartedwithXMLBeans.html
As you said you are new to parsing xml using java and If you want to use SAX/DOM go throug
