Fw: [xml-dev] Could not retrieve attributes from XML document loaded in JDOM
Hi All, Looks like the jdomXmlDocument was missing on line 6 so see whether you could help figure out where the issue is. Thanks a lot, Jack ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Jack Bush <> To: Sent: Mon, 28 June, 2010 11:15:46 PM Subject: [xml-dev] Could not retrieve attributes from XML document loaded in JDOM Hi All, I am having difficulty reading and parsing the following XML City.xml document using Saxon parser and XPath: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional/ /EN" "http://www. w3.org/TR/ xhtml1/DTD/ xhtml1-transitio nal.dtd"> <html xmlns="http: //www.w3. org/1999/ xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv=" Content-Type" content="text/ html; charset=UTF- 8" /> …….. </head> <body> <div id="content"> <table class="sresults"> <tr> <td> <a href="http:/ /www.abc.com/areas" title=" Hollywood , CA "> hollywood </a> </td> <td> <a href="http:/ /www.abc.com/areas" title=" San Jose , CA "> san jose </a> </td> <td> <a href="http:/ /www.abc.com/areas" title=" San Francisco , CA "> san francisco </a> </td> <td> <a href="http:/ /www.abc.com/areas" title=" San Diego , CA "> San diego </a> </td> </tr> ………. </body> </html> Below is the code snippets that illustrates how I tried to retrieve the attribute title of <a>: 1. BufferedReader incomingbrXml = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:\City.xml")); 2. SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder(false); 3. Document jdomXmlDocument = saxBuilder.build(incomingbrXml);4. String city_content = null; 5. XPath cityXPath = XPath.newInstance("/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:table[@class='sresults']/ns:tr/ns:td/ns:a/@title"); 6. java.util.List cityList = cityXPath.selectNodes(jdomXmlDocument); 7. Iterator city_iterator = cityList.iterator(); 8. while (city_iterator.hasNext()) { 9. city_content = ((org.jdom.Attribute)city_iterator.next()).getValue(); 10. if (city_content.length() != 0) { 11. System.out.println("Area Url:" + area_content.toString()); } 12. } I would like to get the following output: Hollywood , CA San Jose , CA San Francisco , CA San Diego , CA Instead, the I am running JDK 1.6.0_17, Netbeans 6.7, JDOM 1.1, Saxon9.1 on Windows XP platform. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, JackjdomXmlDocument);jdomXmlDocument is made up of only the first few lines of City.xml and nothing on the body when debugging in Netbeans. I am running this program online so there would not be an issue with entity resolver that took place on line 2. _______________________________________________________________________ XML-DEV is a publicly archived, unmoderated list hosted by OASIS to support XML implementation and development.
