Extracting text from a EULA file to display to a user using jsp.
The text that is in the RTF file is along the lines of:
적용 범위. 본 최종
However when I extract and print the text to the console I end up with a different format like so:
Àû¿ë ¹üÀ§. º» ÃÖ
I believe it has to do with the encoding, but files that contain English, Spanish, and Russian characters work fine. Why is it displaying these odd characters, and how to i get the expected output?

I used RTF Parser Kit to perform the conversion. Here's the converted text from your sample RTF file:
1.적용 범위. 본 최종 사용자 라이센스 계약(이하 "계약")은 동봉된 소프트웨어의 사용에 적용되며,

That certainly looks more promising than the output you were getting!
You can use RTF Parser Kit working with streams:
new StreamTextConverter().convert(new RtfStreamSource(inputStream), outputStream, "UTF-8");
or as a convenience there is a converter provided which provides the output as a string:
StringTextConverter converter = new StringTextConverter();
converter.convert(new RtfStreamSource(inputStream));
String extractedText = converter.getText();
I want to sign a InputStream from a PDF file without using a temporary file.
Here I convert InputStream to File and this work fine :
InputStream inputStream = this.signatureObjPAdES.getSignatureDocument().getInputStream();
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File("C:/temp.pdf"));
int read = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
while ((read = inputStream.read(bytes)) != -1) {
outputStream.write(bytes, 0, read);
}
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File("C:/temp.pdf"));
...
document.addSignature(new PDSignature(this.dts.getDocumentTimeStamp()), this);
document.saveIncremental(new FileOutputStream("C:/result.pdf");
document.close();
But I want to do this directly :
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(inputStream);
Problem: at run
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.io.RandomAccessFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.pdfbox.io.RandomAccessBufferedFileInputStream.<init>(RandomAccessBufferedFileInputStream.java:77)
at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument.saveIncremental(PDDocument.java:961)
All ideas are welcome.
Thank you.
EDIT:
It's now working with the release of PDFBox 2.0.0.
The cause
The immediate hindrance is in the method PDDocument.saveIncremental() itself:
public void saveIncremental(OutputStream output) throws IOException
{
InputStream input = new RandomAccessBufferedFileInputStream(incrementalFile);
COSWriter writer = null;
try
{
writer = new COSWriter(output, input);
writer.write(this, signInterface);
writer.close();
}
finally
{
if (writer != null)
{
writer.close();
}
}
}
(PDDocument.java)
The member incrementalFile used in the first line is only set during a PDDocument.load with a File parameter.
Thus, this method cannot be used.
A work-around
Fortunately the method PDDocument.saveIncremental() only uses methods and values publicly available with the sole exception of signInterface, but you know the value of it because you set it in your code in the line right before the saveIncremental call:
document.addSignature(new PDSignature(this.dts.getDocumentTimeStamp()), this);
document.saveIncremental(new FileOutputStream("C:/result.pdf"));
Thus, instead of calling PDDocument.saveIncremental() you can do the equivalent in your code.
To do so you furthermore need a replacement value for the InputStream input. It needs to return a stream with the identical content as inputStream in your
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(inputStream);
So you need to use that stream twice. As you have not said whether that inputStream can be reset, we'll first copy it into a byte[] which we forward both to PDDocument.load and new COSWriter.
Thus, replace your
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(inputStream);
...
document.addSignature(new PDSignature(this.dts.getDocumentTimeStamp()), this);
document.saveIncremental(new FileOutputStream("C:/result.pdf"));
document.close();
by
byte[] inputBytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(inputStream);
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new ByteArrayInputStream(inputBytes));
...
document.addSignature(new PDSignature(this.dts.getDocumentTimeStamp()), this);
saveIncremental(new FileOutputStream("C:/result.pdf"),
new ByteArrayInputStream(inputBytes), document, this);
document.close();
and add a new method saveIncremental to your class inspired by the original PDDocument.saveIncremental():
void saveIncremental(OutputStream output, InputStream input, PDDocument document, SignatureInterface signatureInterface) throws IOException
{
COSWriter writer = null;
try
{
writer = new COSWriter(output, input);
writer.write(document, signatureInterface);
writer.close();
}
finally
{
if (writer != null)
{
writer.close();
}
}
}
On the side
I said above
As you have not said whether that inputStream can be reset, we'll first copy it into a byte[] which we forward both to PDDocument.load and new COSWriter.
Actually there is another reason to do so: COSWriter.doWriteSignature() retrieves the length of the original PDF like this:
long inLength = incrementalInput.available();
(COSWriter.java)
The documentation of InputStream.available() states, though:
Note that while some implementations of InputStream will return the total number of bytes in the stream, many will not.
To re-use inputStream instead of using a byte[] and ByteArrayInputStreams as above, therefore, inputStream not only needs to support reset() but also needs to be one of the few InputStream implementations which return the total number of bytes in the stream as available.
FileInputStream and ByteArrayInputStream both do return the total number of bytes in the stream as available.
There may still be more issues when using generic InputStreams instead of these two.
Hey Cyril Bremaud, you can use this approach, since the PDDocument class has 3 overloaded constructor, you can go ahead and provide only the file path if you like and it will work as well. But for your requirement to be able to pass an InputStream directly to the PDDocument constructor, use this code:
lStrInputPDFfile = "samples_pdf_signing\Country Calendar.pdf";
lOsPDFInput = new java.io.FileInputStream(lStrInputPDFfile);
jPDFDocument = new org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument().load(lOsPDFInput);
But this also work in my case:
lStrInputPDFfile = "samples_pdf_signing\Country Calendar.pdf";
jPDFDocument = new org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument().load(lStrInputPDFfile);
Note: `InputStream is a parent class of FileInputStream and that is why the above code works.
updated my code, please check again. Thanks to #mkl for pointing that out.
I've see quite a lot posts/blogs/articles about splitting XML file into a smaller chunks and decided to create my own because I have some custom requirements. Here is what I mean, consider the following XML :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<company>
<staff id="1">
<firstname>yong</firstname>
<lastname>mook kim</lastname>
<nickname>mkyong</nickname>
<salary>100000</salary>
</staff>
<staff id="2">
<firstname>yong</firstname>
<lastname>mook kim</lastname>
<nickname>mkyong</nickname>
<salary>100000</salary>
</staff>
<staff id="3">
<firstname>yong</firstname>
<lastname>mook kim</lastname>
<nickname>mkyong</nickname>
<salary>100000</salary>
</staff>
<staff id="4">
<firstname>yong</firstname>
<lastname>mook kim</lastname>
<nickname>mkyong</nickname>
<salary>100000</salary>
</staff>
<staff id="5">
<firstname>yong</firstname>
<lastname>mook kim</lastname>
<salary>100000</salary>
</staff>
</company>
I want to split this xml into n parts, each containing 1 file, but the staff element must contain nickname , if it's not there I don't want it. So this should produce 4 xml splits, each containing staff id starting at 1 until 4.
Here is my code :
public int split() throws Exception{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(inputFilePath)));
String line;
List<String> tempList = null;
while((line=br.readLine())!=null){
if(line.contains("<?xml version=\"1.0\"") || line.contains("<" + rootElement + ">") || line.contains("</" + rootElement + ">")){
continue;
}
if(line.contains("<"+ element +">")){
tempList = new ArrayList<String>();
}
tempList.add(line);
if(line.contains("</"+ element +">")){
if(hasConditions(tempList)){
writeToSplitFile(tempList);
writtenObjectCounter++;
totalCounter++;
}
}
if(writtenObjectCounter == itemsPerFile){
writtenObjectCounter = 0;
fileCounter++;
tempList.clear();
}
}
if(tempList.size() != 0){
writeClosingRootElement();
}
return totalCounter;
}
private void writeToSplitFile(List<String> itemList) throws Exception{
BufferedWriter wr = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputDirectory + File.separator + "split_" + fileCounter + ".xml", true));
if(writtenObjectCounter == 0){
wr.write("<" + rootElement + ">");
wr.write("\n");
}
for (String string : itemList) {
wr.write(string);
wr.write("\n");
}
if(writtenObjectCounter == itemsPerFile-1)
wr.write("</" + rootElement + ">");
wr.close();
}
private void writeClosingRootElement() throws Exception{
BufferedWriter wr = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputDirectory + File.separator + "split_" + fileCounter + ".xml", true));
wr.write("</" + rootElement + ">");
wr.close();
}
private boolean hasConditions(List<String> list){
int matchList = 0;
for (String condition : conditionList) {
for (String string : list) {
if(string.contains(condition)){
matchList++;
}
}
}
if(matchList >= conditionList.size()){
return true;
}
return false;
}
I know that opening/closing stream for each written staff element which does impact the performance. But if I write once per file(which may contain n number of staff). Naturally root and split elements are configurable.
Any ideas how can I improve the performance/logic? I'd prefer some code, but good advice can be better sometimes
Edit:
This XML example is actually a dummy example, the real XML which I'm trying to split is about 300-500 different elements under split element all appearing at the random order and number varies. Stax may not be the best solution after all?
Bounty update :
I'm looking for a solution(code) that will:
Be able to split XML file into n parts with x split elements(from the dummy XML example staff is the split element).
The content of the spitted files should be wrapped in the root element from the original file(like in the dummy example company)
I'd like to be able to specify condition that must be in the split element i.e. I want only staff which have nickname, I want to discard those without nicknames. But be able to also split without conditions while running split without conditions.
The code doesn't necessarily have to improve my solution(lacking good logic and performance), but it works.
And not happy with "but it works". And I can't find enough examples of Stax for these kind of operations, user community is not great as well. It doesn't have to be Stax solution as well.
I'm probably asking too much, but I'm here to learn stuff, giving good bounty for the solution I think.
First piece of advice: don't try to write your own XML handling code. Use an XML parser - it's going to be much more reliable and quite possibly faster.
If you use an XML pull parser (e.g. StAX) you should be able to read an element at a time and write it out to disk, never reading the whole document in one go.
Here's my suggestion. It requires a streaming XSLT 3.0 processor: which means in practice that it needs Saxon-EE 9.3.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="3.0">
<xsl:mode streamable="yes">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="company/staff"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match=staff">
<xsl:variable name="v" as="element(staff)">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="$v/nickname">
<xsl:result-document href="{#id}.xml">
<xsl:copy-of select="$v"/>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In practice, though, unless you have hundreds of megabytes of data, I suspect a non-streaming solution will be quite fast enough, and probably faster than your hand-written Java code, given that your Java code is nothing to get excited about. At any rate, give an XSLT solution a try before you write reams of low-level Java. It's a routine problem, after all.
You could do the following with StAX:
Algorithm
Read and hold onto the root element event.
Read first chunk of XML:
Queue events until condition has been met.
If condition has been met:
Write start document event.
Write out root start element event
Write out split start element event
Write out queued events
Write out remaining events for this section.
If condition was not met then do nothing.
Repeat step 2 with next chunk of XML
Code for Your Use Case
The following code uses StAX APIs to break up the document as outlined in your question:

}

}
}
if(metCondition) {
// Create a file for the fragment, the name is derived from the value of the id attribute
FileWriter fileWriter = null;

for(XMLEvent cachedEvent : cachedXMLEvents) {
xew.add(cachedEvent);
}
// Write the XMLEvents that we still need to parse from this

xmlEvent = xer.nextEvent();

}
}
}
}
#Jon Skeet is spot on as usual in his advice. #Blaise Doughan gave you a very basic picture of using StAX (which would be my preferred choice, although you can do basically the same thing with SAX). You seem to be looking for something more explicit, so here's some pseudo code to get you started (based on StAX):
find first "staff" StartElement
set a flag indicating you are in a "staff" element and start tracking the depth (StartElement is +1, EndElement is -1)
now, process the "staff" sub-elements, grab any of the data you care about and put it in a file (or where ever)
keep processing until your depth reaches 0 (when you find the matching "staff" EndElement)
unset the flag indicating you are in a "staff" element
search for the next "staff" StartElement
if found, go to 2. and repeat
if not found, document is complete
EDIT:
wow, i have to say i'm amazed at the number of people willing to do someone else's work for them. i didn't realize SO was basically a free version of rent-a-coder.
#Gandalf StormCrow:
Let me divide your problem into three separate issues:-
i) Reading XML and simultaenous split XML in best possible way
ii) Checking condition in split file
iii) If condition met, process that spilt file.
for i), there are ofcourse mutliple solutions: SAX, STAX and other parsers and as simple as that as you mentioned just read using simple java io operations and search for tags.
I believe SAX/STAX/simple java IO, anything will do. I have taken your example as base for my solution.
ii) Checking condition in split file: you have used contains() method to check for existence of nickname. This does not seem best way: what if your conditions are as complex as if nickname should be present but length>5 or salary should be numeric etc.
I would use new java XML validation framework for this which make uses of XML schema.Please note we can cache schema object in memory so to reuse it again and again. This new validation framework is pretty fast.
iii) If condition met, process that spilt file.
You may want use java concurrent APIs to submit async tasks(ExecutorService class) to acheive parallel execution for faster performance.
So considering above points, one possible solution can be:-
You can create a company.xsd file like:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/NewXMLSchema"
xmlns:tns="http://www.example.org/NewXMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="unqualified">
<element name="company">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="staff" type="tns:stafftype"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
<complexType name="stafftype">
<sequence>
<element name="firstname" type="string" minOccurs="0" />
<element name="lastname" type="string" minOccurs="0" />
<element name="nickname" type="string" minOccurs="1" />
<element name="salary" type="int" minOccurs="0" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</schema>
then your java code would look like:-
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;

Have a look at this. This is slightly reworked sample from xmlpull.org:
http://www.xmlpull.org/v1/download/unpacked/doc/quick_intro.html
The following should do all you need unless you have nested splitting tags like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<company>
<staff id="1">
<firstname>yong</firstname>
<lastname>mook kim</lastname>
<nickname>mkyong</nickname>
<salary>100000</salary>
<other>
<staff>
...
</staff>
</other>
</staff>
</company>
To run it in pass-through mode simply pass null as splitting tag.

Normally I would suggest using StAX, but it is unclear to me how 'stateful' your real XML is. If simple, then use SAX for ultimate performance, if not-so-simple, use StAX. So you need to
read bytes from disk
convert them to characters
parse the XML
determine whether to keep XML or throw away (skip out subtree)
write XML
convert characters to bytes
write to disk
Now, it might seem like steps 3-5 are the most resource-intensive, but I would rate them as
Most: 1 + 7
Middle: 2 + 6
Least: 3 + 4 + 5
As operations 1 and 7 are kind of seperate of the rest, you should do them in an async way, at least creating multiple small files is best done in n other threads, if you are familiar with multi-threading. For increased performance, you might also look into the new IO stuff in Java.
Now for steps 2 + 3 and 5 + 6 you can go a long way with FasterXML, it really does a lot of the stuff you are looking for, like triggering JVM hot-spot attention in the right places; might even support async reading/writing looking through the code quickly.
So then we are left with step 5, and depending on your logic, you should either
a. make an object binding, then decide how what to do
b. write XML anyways, hoping for the best, and then throw it away if no 'staff' element is present.
Whatever you do, object reuse is sensible. Note that both alternatives (obisously) requires the same amount of parsing (skip out of subtree ASAP), and for alternative b, that a little extra XML is actually not so bad performancewise, ideally make sure your char buffers are > one unit.
Alternative b is the most easy to implement, simply copy the 'xml event' from your reader to writer, example for StAX:
private static void copyEvent(int event, XMLStreamReader reader, XMLStreamWriter writer) throws XMLStreamException {
if (event == XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT) {
String localName = reader.getLocalName();
String namespace = reader.getNamespaceURI();
// TODO check this stuff again before setting in production
if (namespace != null) {
if (writer.getPrefix(namespace) != null) {
writer.writeStartElement(namespace, localName);
} else {
writer.writeStartElement(reader.getPrefix(), localName, namespace);
}
} else {
writer.writeStartElement(localName);
}
// first: namespace definition attributes
if(reader.getNamespaceCount() > 0) {
int namespaces = reader.getNamespaceCount();
for(int i = 0; i < namespaces; i++) {
String namespaceURI = reader.getNamespaceURI(i);
if(writer.getPrefix(namespaceURI) == null) {
String namespacePrefix = reader.getNamespacePrefix(i);
if(namespacePrefix == null) {
writer.writeDefaultNamespace(namespaceURI);
} else {
writer.writeNamespace(namespacePrefix, namespaceURI);
}
}
}
}
int attributes = reader.getAttributeCount();
// the write the rest of the attributes
for (int i = 0; i < attributes; i++) {
String attributeNamespace = reader.getAttributeNamespace(i);
if (attributeNamespace != null && attributeNamespace.length() != 0) {
writer.writeAttribute(attributeNamespace, reader.getAttributeLocalName(i), reader.getAttributeValue(i));
} else {
writer.writeAttribute(reader.getAttributeLocalName(i), reader.getAttributeValue(i));
}
}
} else if (event == XMLStreamConstants.END_ELEMENT) {
writer.writeEndElement();
} else if (event == XMLStreamConstants.CDATA) {
String array = reader.getText();
writer.writeCData(array);
} else if (event == XMLStreamConstants.COMMENT) {
String array = reader.getText();
writer.writeComment(array);
} else if (event == XMLStreamConstants.CHARACTERS) {
String array = reader.getText();
if (array.length() > 0 && !reader.isWhiteSpace()) {
writer.writeCharacters(array);
}
} else if (event == XMLStreamConstants.START_DOCUMENT) {
writer.writeStartDocument();
} else if (event == XMLStreamConstants.END_DOCUMENT) {
writer.writeEndDocument();
}
}
And for a subtree,
private static void copySubTree(XMLStreamReader reader, XMLStreamWriter writer) throws XMLStreamException {
reader.require(XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT, null, null);
copyEvent(XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT, reader, writer);
int level = 1;
do {
int event = reader.next();
if(event == XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT) {
level++;
} else if(event == XMLStreamConstants.END_ELEMENT) {
level--;
}
copyEvent(event, reader, writer);
} while(level > 0);
}
From which you probably can deduct how to skip out to a certain level. In general, for stateful StaX parsing, use the pattern
private static void parseSubTree(XMLStreamReader reader) throws XMLStreamException {
int level = 1;
do {
int event = reader.next();
if(event == XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT) {
level++;
// do stateful stuff here
// for child logic:
if(reader.getLocalName().equals("Whatever")) {
parseSubTreeForWhatever(reader);
level --; // read from level 1 to 0 in submethod.
}
// alternatively, faster
if(level == 4) {
parseSubTreeForWhateverAtRelativeLevel4(reader);
level --; // read from level 1 to 0 in submethod.
}
} else if(event == XMLStreamConstants.END_ELEMENT) {
level--;
// do stateful stuff here, too
}
} while(level > 0);
}
where you in the start of the document read till the first start element and break (add the writer+copy for your use of course, as above).
Note that if you do an object binding, these methods should be placed in that object, and equally for the serialization methods.
I am pretty sure you will get 10s of MB/s on a modern system, and that should be sufficient. An issue to be investigate further, is approaches to use multiple cores for the actualy input, if you know for a fact the encoding subset, like non-crazy UTF-8, or ISO-8859, then random access might be possible -> send to different cores.
Have fun, and tell use how it went ;)
Edit: Almost forgot, if you for some reason are the one who is creating the file in the first place, or you will be reading them after splitting, you will se HUGE performance gains using XML binarization; there exist XML Schema generators which again can go into code generators. (And some XSLT transform libs use code generation too.) And run with the -server option for JVM.
How to make i faster:
Use asynchronous writes, possibly in parallel, might boost your perf if you have RAID-X something disks
Write to an SSD instead of HDD
My suggestion is that SAX, STAX, or DOM are not the ideal xml parser for your problem, the perfect solutions is called vtd-xml, there is an article on this subject explaining why DOM sax and STAX all done something very wrong... the code below is the shortest you have to write, yet performs 10x faster than DOM or SAX. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-2006/jw-0724-vtdxml.html
Here is a latest paper entitled Processing XML with Java – A Performance Benchmark: http://recipp.ipp.pt/bitstream/10400.22/1847/1/ART_BrunoOliveira_2013.pdf
import com.ximpleware.*;
import java.io.*;
public class gandalf {
public static void main(String a[]) throws VTDException, Exception{
VTDGen vg = new VTDGen();
if (vg.parseFile("c:\\xml\\gandalf.txt", false)){
VTDNav vn=vg.getNav();
AutoPilot ap = new AutoPilot(vn);
ap.selectXPath("/company/staff[nickname]");
int i=-1;
int count=0;
while((i=ap.evalXPath())!=-1){
vn.dumpFragment("c:\\xml\\staff"+count+".xml");
count++;
}
}
}
}
Here is DOM based solution. I have tested this with the xml you provided. This needs to be checked against the actual xml files that you have.
Since this is based on DOM parser, please remember that this will require a lot of memory depending upon your xml file size. But its much faster as it's DOM based.
Algorithm :
Parse the document
Extract the root element name
Get list he nodes based on the split criteria (using XPath)
For each node, create an empty document with root element name as extracted in step #2
Insert the node in this new document
Check if nodes are to be filtered or not.
If nodes are to be filtered, then check if a specified element is present in the newly created doc.
If node is not present, don't write to the file.
If the nodes are NOT to be filtered at all, don't check for condition in #7, and write the document to the file.
This can be run from command prompt as follows
java XMLSplitter xmlFileLocation splitElement filter filterElement
For the xml you mentioned it will be
java XMLSplitter input.xml staff true nickname
In case you don't want to filter
java XMLSplitter input.xml staff
