kXML users ...

Hi,

Are there any kXML users in javaranch ???

I need help ...

Yes. There are kXML users here, but you should detail the type of help that you need.

Dear Rashid Mayes,

I'm having the following problem : am working on something that basically converts HTML into XML in order to parse it, the thing which is working perfectly. The problem is that i have this tag

which I'm being able to read successfully. Here's where my problem starts, i want to convert the above tag into

Sir, I'm not being able to do this using kXML, meaning, i can't add the attribute value="some value".

Please can you show a snippet that does this kind of stuff ???

Thank you so much ...

I'm not a kXML user. But when I looked in the API documentation for the product I found there is an Element class and it has a setAttribute method. Those are the things you should use to do that task.

Yes you are 100% right, but that method is only changing the attribute on the heap, but not reflecting on the XML file itself, so, i need a way to reflect what i have set to the XML file.

Thank you ...

OK i solved the problem guys

If anybody wants to know how it was done, please contact me

Regards ...

Dear Theepan,

This is what i have come up with :

public void doParsePerson()
    {
        try
        {
            FileConnection personFile=(FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///e:/profile.xml");
            
            XmlParser parser=null;
            Document document=new Document();
            
            InputStream inputStream=personFile.openInputStream();
            InputStreamReader inputStreamReader=new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
            
            parser=new XmlParser(inputStreamReader); // create an xml parser and send the stream reader to it
            document.parse(parser);
            
            OutputStream outputStream=personFile.openOutputStream();
            OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter=new OutputStreamWriter(outputStream);
            XmlWriter writer=new XmlWriter(outputStreamWriter);
            
            Element root=document.getRootElement();
            int numberOfElements=root.getChildCount();
            
            writer.startTag("form");
            
            for(int i=1;i<=numberOfElements-2;i+=2)
            {
                Element inputElement=root.getElement(i); // search for an input
                
                if(inputElement.getValue("type").equalsIgnoreCase("text"))
                {
                    
                    writer.startTag("input");
                    
                    writer.attribute("type","some value");
                    writer.attribute("name","some value");
                    writer.attribute("value","some value");
                    
                    writer.endTag();
                }
            }
            
            writer.endTag();
            
            inputStream.close();
            inputStreamReader.close();
            personFile.close();
        }
        
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            Alert alert=new Alert("Some Exception");
            alert.setString(e.getMessage());
            alert.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
            display.setCurrent(alert);
        }
    }

For any further questions, please post and ask ...

Best of luck ...

There's this small but important question that just raised in mind,

when i use a FileConnection as follows:

Normally it keeps asking for a permission to access the file, so, is there a way to stop it ???

Thank you ...
