Title: NEED XMLBEANS HELP!!!

okay everyone,

I figured it out. It was a matter of the schema being complicated. Yana, you were right, i need to access the information through the document root element. I just was having trouble traversing down through the types and such to get to the actual data. Thanks for all the help,

Jason

You should be using the document type to parse a document, i.e. PlanningContextHeaderTypeDocument.Factory.parse(inputFile); instead of what you have (the type of the root element). are you saying that calling pc.validate() returns true after your call – that would be concerning…

If that doesn’t solve your issue, let me know – I understand that you might not be free to share the whole schema, but we should be able to figure it out based on what you sent.

Okay,

I have gotten the updated schema and i can validate that. I do know that if i try to validate the xml vs the standards it fails. but if i try to validate based against the schema it validates fine. I will give you a portion of the schema (enough that it should be clear if i am doing something wrong)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">

<xs:complexType name="PlanningContextHeaderType">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Complex Type containing the planning context information for a document.</xs:documentation>

    </xs:annotation>
    <xs:element name="OPLAN">
        <xs:complexType>
             <xs:sequence>
                  <xs:element name="planId" type="xs:string"/>
                  <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
                  <xs:element name="aor" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
                  <xs:element name="aorShape" type="AbsoluteLocationType" minOccurs="0"/>
             </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
   </xs:element>
</xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>

Here's my code again:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import noNamespace.*;

public class parse
{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            String filePath = "C:\\2.xml";
            File inputFile = new File(filePath);

            PlanningContextHeaderType pc = PlanningContextHeaderType.Factory.parse(inputFile);
            PlanningContextHeaderType.OPLAN oplan = pc.getOPLAN();
            System.out.println(oplan.getName());

}

        catch(org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.toString());
        }
        catch(IOException e1)
        {
            System.out.println(e1.toString());
        }

}

and here is the portion of the xml document

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MDADocument>
        <defenseDesignDocument>
        <OPLAN>
                <planId>9151314447111817754</planId>
                <name>Venezuela</name>
        </OPLAN>
        </defenseDesignDocument>
</MDADocument>

So does anyone know why am i getting the null pointer exception when i print out the oplan name?

People do exist on this mailing list J

I will try to address the second part of your email.

Have you tried calling the validate method with an error listener after you parse in the instance? I think the code you have should work (and I’m saying that without seeing the schema you have) in theory. The thing that I’m guessing is that the instance is somehow not valid, so OPLAN element is not recognized as such because it’s in a different namespace than the schema requires it to be in (I’m assuming that the NPE occurs on oplan.getName() ).

Sorry if this is not helpful, that’s the best I can do without looking at the actual schema.

If anyone is out there listening….

I just got an extensive xml schema that I used xmlbeans to create a jar with. The large number of files confuses me, but that isn't the basis of my email.

First,
I have two sections of my schema that are groups and not the complex/simple types. How do I access them?? All I see are the xsb files that are of the same name as the group, but no class files.

Second,
I try to parse the xml doc w/ a portion that I thought worked, but when I run it, I get a null pointer exception.
This is the code:
PlanningContextHeaderType planContext = PlanningContextHeaderType.Factory.parse(inputFile);
PlanningContextHeaderType.OPLAN oplan = planContext.getOPLAN();
System.out.println(oplan.getName());
And here is the abbreviated xml:

I'll keep it at that for right now, but I have a couple more questions but I won't bother to write it until I hear back that people actually exist in this mailing list.

Thanks,
Jason Green
