[Newsml-toolkit-users] installation problem?

[Viner, D. <dv...@ya...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install newsml-toolkit, but I get this problem:


% java -cp xerces.jar:saxpath.jar:jaxen-full.jar:newsml-toolkit.jar
NormalizeNewsML ExampleText.xml
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/xerces/framework/XMLParser
        at NormalizeNewsML.main(NormalizeNewsML.java:21

Is there a different xerces.jar that I should use? (all jar files are from
the newsml-toolkit download from sourceforge)

thanks
dave

[Newsml-toolkit-users] CData in ContentItem

[Pierre R. <pie...@cg...>]

Hello,

first, as a newcomer on the list, hello everybody.

Then, my question :
I'm using the NewsML API and I need to insert a CDATA section into a
DataContent element, for example something like :

<DataContent>
    <![CDATA[
        anything with stange characters, like <, >, etc. In fact that will
be mainly HTML
    ]]>
</DataContent>

When I use the method setText("<![CDATA[... ]]>"), the text is escaped and i
get &lt; instead of <, etc.
When I use the method setXMLString("<![CDATA[... ]]>") I get a error saying
that my xml string is not valid, which I do not understand.

Could anyone tell me how I could insert a CDATA into a DataContent element ?

thanks a lot

Pierre

Oops, problem solved... the ProviderId class has a method named getName()
which returns a Text object which I can modify, thus modifying the text of
the provider. Thought the method was only giving me a copy of the Text
object...

Thanks anyway, Kike

[Newsml-toolkit-users] Problem with ProviderId

[Enrique S. A. <esa...@it...>]

Hello,

I have just started to use this library for composing NewsML documents.
However I have encountered a problem: when I have to set the ProviderId
element of a NewsIdentifier, I cannot find any way to do that; should
there not be a "setString" method or so in ProviderId class...?
However I am afraid that my problem is related to my newbie condition,
so I apologize if the question is too basic or something... anyway
thanks for reading my message and congratulations for the authors of the
newsml-toolkit.

Regards,
Kike
