I am trying to parse a UTF-8 xml file using SAX parser and i used the parser but it results an exception it's message "Expecting an element"

but when i pass to the parse method the inputStream instead of inputSource it parses the file but still have a problem with Arabic characters between
playbackParser.parse(inputStream, handler);
The XML you showed has unencoded Arabic characters in it. That is in violation of the XML's declared Encoding, which means the XML is malformed. A SAX parser processes data piece by piece sequentially, triggering events for each piece. It will not detect such an encoding error until it reaches the piece that contains those erroneous characters. There is nothing you can do about that. The XML needs to be fixed by its original author.

Now I use the sax parser to analysis the xml file(the following sample code comes from tutorialspoint). I want to output all the things to a txt file using the BufferedWriter when we call the characters function, while I don't get a way to make this. If I write this BufferedWriter in the characters function, it will only output the last string, since it will only record the last call. If I write this BufferedWriter in the main function, since they are two classes, the UserHandler couldn't recognize the BufferedWriter created in the main function(the dblpSax class). I also tried sth to make a class instance, while I still got involved troubles. Could you give me a way to make this? Thanks.
The Bufferwriter I want to use is as follows:
File writename = new File("output.txt");
writename.createNewFile();
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(writename));
public class dblpSax{
public static void main(String[] args){
try {
File inputFile = new File("student.txt");
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
UserHandler userhandler = new UserHandler();
saxParser.parse(inputFile, userhandler);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
class UserHandler extends DefaultHandler {
boolean bFirstName = false;
boolean bLastName = false;
boolean bNickName = false;
boolean bMarks = false;
public void startElement(String uri,
String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes)
throws SAXException {
if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("student")) {
String rollNo = attributes.getValue("rollno");
System.out.println("Roll No : " + rollNo);
} else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("firstname")) {
bFirstName = true;
} else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("lastname")) {
bLastName = true;
} else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("nickname")) {
bNickName = true;
}
else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("marks")) {
bMarks = true;
}
}
public void endElement(String uri,
String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("student")) {
System.out.println("End Element :" + qName);
}
}
public void characters(char ch[],
int start, int length) throws SAXException {
if (bFirstName) {
System.out.println("First Name: "
+ new String(ch, start, length));
bFirstName = false;
} else if (bLastName) {
System.out.println("Last Name: "
+ new String(ch, start, length));
bLastName = false;
} else if (bNickName) {
System.out.println("Nick Name: "
+ new String(ch, start, length));
bNickName = false;
} else if (bMarks) {
System.out.println("Marks: "
+ new String(ch, start, length));
bMarks = false;
}
}
}
You need a BufferedWriter at the same level as the parsing, best customizable outside the DefaultHandler.
try (BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(....)) {
UserHandler userhandler = new UserHandler(out);
saxParser.parse(inputFile, userhandler);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
class UserHandler extends DefaultHandler {
private final BufferedWriter out; // Or PrintWriter
UserHandler(BufferedWriter out) {
this.out = out;
}
And then one can all out.write everywhere.
I have more elements on my xml file contains & and others characters html >.
I tested my code but it obtain the first part of my field for example:
SERIES & FILMS
It give only the word SERIES.
And other example:
C>SUDO
It give only C.
My code, my field name is "summary":
try {
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
chars = new StringBuffer();
DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler() {
public void startElement(String uri, String localName,
String qName, Attributes attributes)
throws SAXException {
System.out.println("Start Element :" + qName);
if (qName.equals(SUMMARY2)) {
bfSummary = true;
}
if (qName.equals(SERVICE_DATA)) {
idServiceData = attributes.getValue("id");
bfServicedata = true;
}
}
public void endElement(String uri, String localName,
String qName) throws SAXException {
System.out.println("End Element :" + qName + ""
+ mListBaseLineByEpgId.size());
// maliste.put(listeId, summary);
malisteParThem.add(summary);
if (mListBaseLineByEpgId.get(idServiceData) != null) {
List<String> listeModif = mListBaseLineByEpgId
.get(idServiceData);
for (String chaine : malisteParThem) {
listeModif.add(chaine);
}
mListBaseLineByEpgId.replace(idServiceData, listeModif);
} else {
mListBaseLineByEpgId.put(idServiceData, malisteParThem);
}
malisteParThem = new ArrayList<String>();
}
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length)
throws SAXException {
if (bfSummary) {
summary = new String(ch, start, length);
summary = summary.replace(BEFORETILESUMMARY, "");
// chars.append(summary);
// summary=chars.toString();
summary = removeHtmlFrom(summary);
System.out.println("Summary : " + summary);
bfSummary = false;
}
if (bfServicedata) {
System.out.println("listeId : " + idServiceData);
bfServicedata = false;
}
}
};
File file = new File(cheminFichier);
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
InputSource is = new InputSource(reader);
//is.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
saxParser.parse(is, handler);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Thank you.
Perhaps this problem is related to the unexpected behavior of SAX parser: it is allowed (per spec) to split the text part of an element and call characters() method multiple times for the same element.
What you need to do is have a StringBuffer or StringBuilder instance variable. You initialize it in startElement(), append to it on characters() and get the full text on endElement()
see this question for more info JAVA SAX parser split calls to characters()
I'm passing in an XML file and a handler to the SAXParser but I'm getting this error:
The attributes for the parse method are defined as (File, DefaultHandler) which match exactly, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Here is the full method:
public String readXML (File readFile) throws Exception {
SAXParserFactory saxFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxParser = saxFactory.newSAXParser();
final String outputString = "";
DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler() {
boolean bArtist = false;
boolean bAlbumName = false;
boolean bYear = false;
boolean bGenre = false;
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attr)
throws SAXException {
if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("ARTIST")) { bArtist = true; }
if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("ALBUMNAME")) { bAlbumName = true; }
if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("YEAR")) { bYear = true; }
if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("GENRE")) { bGenre = true; }
}
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) {
if (bArtist) {
outputString.concat("Artist: " + new String(ch,start,length) + "\n");
}
if(bAlbumName) {
outputString.concat("Album: " + new String(ch,start,length) + "\n");
}
if(bYear) {
outputString.concat("Year: " + new String(ch,start,length) + "\n");
}
if(bGenre) {
outputString.concat("Genre: " + new String(ch,start,length) + "\n");
}
outputString.concat("\n");
}
};
saxParser.parse(readFile,handler);
return outputString;
}
It should be org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler
not jdk.internal...
so
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
You should probably also define the class that extends the DefaultHandler not just inline it.
I'm trying to get the RSS feed into my android application, I am retrieving feeds like title, description and link of feed but not able to get image for particular feed.
The fallowing is my DefaultXmlHandler class. please go through and help me out.

I'm new to Java and we were given an assignment about XML Parsing. We have done DOM and now we are on SAX. That's why I'm using SAX Parser for parsing an rss feed. Its already working on files but when I try to parse an online rss feed, it returns an Error 403. I haven't tried parsing the same site on DOM because my laptop is so slow it takes me 5 minutes just to open a file.
Thanks for the help.
public class NewsHandler extends DefaultHandler {
private String url = "http://tomasinoweb.org/feed/rss";
private boolean inDescription = false;
private String[] descs = new String[11];
int i = 0;
public void processFeed() {
try {
SAXParserFactory factory =
SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
XMLReader reader = parser.getXMLReader();
reader.setContentHandler(this);
InputStream inputStream = new URL(url).openStream();
reader.parse(new InputSource(inputStream));
} catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
if(qName.equals("description")) inDescription = true;
}
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) {
String chars = new String(ch).substring(start, start + length);
if(inDescription) descs[i] = chars;
}
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
if(qName.equals("description")) {
inDescription = false;
i++;
}
}
public String getDesc(int index) { return descs[index]; }
public static void main(String[] args) {
NewsHandler nh = new NewsHandler();
nh.processFeed();
for(int i=0; i<10; i++) {
System.out.println(nh.getDesc(i));
}
}
}
Solution:
Instead of using String url = "url", I used URL url = new URL("url") and URLConnection con = url.openConnection() and then con.addRequestProperty("user-agent", user-agent string);
