[Simple-support] xjc created jaxb source from XML schema to simpleframework

[Dennis B. <bij...@gm...>]

Dear all,

I've written a SED script to convert java source files gerated with xjc
(from XML schema workig with JAXB) to simpleframework-compatible source code.
It depends a bit on the way xjc generates the software, so it may not
work directly on hand-written jaxb source code. 

The script works as follows (tested on Ubuntu Linux):
- generate source with xjc: xjc XMLSchema.xsd
- jaxb2simple.sed generated/JAXBSource.java > src/generated/SimpleSource.java
- or in batch with the rewrite script:  
    NAMESPACE=generated
    cd $NAMESPACE
    for i in *.java ;do ../../rewrite.sh $i ../$NAMESPACE/ddi/$i ;done

The generated code can now be used on android with simple. Some things may 
need to be fixed, since I didn't test yet with an XSD covering all concepts, 
and because simpleframework defaults to require all elements (opposed to
jaxb). Expect fixes for emply lists, and enumerations of strings (Android 
does not seem to return valueOf correctly when casing of remaining
letters does not match enum name).

Kind regards,
Dennis Bijwaard

Re: [Simple-support] Ignoring unavailable annotations (JAXB onAndroid devices)

[TE <al...@ho...>]

Unfortunately Android does not allow external jars to implement most of the namespaces under java.* and javax.*. See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13084 for details. JAXB annotations (being under java.xml) is one of them.
 
I was hoping that it would somehow be possible to handle these in the Simple code (i.e. catch the exception and treat as if those annotations did not exist).

I am afraid not, Android just does not have these annotations. You could perhaps try add them to a jar and include them? But this is not something I have tried.

Hello,

>From my research, it seems that Simple is the best XML serialization/deserialization framework available for Android. The API and the framework "feels right". Thank you very much for your efforts, esp. on getting it to work on Android. :-)

I have started experimenting with Simple features and one issue that I need help with is related to classes annotated both with JAXB and Simple (server side is a servlet implemented using JAX-RS via RestEasy framework, hence the use of JAXB). The following code works fine by itself (i.e. on a desktop machine, as an Eclipse Java project) but fails to run on Android:

Serializer serial = new Persister();
File f = new File("somefilename.xml");
ItemCollection itemCollection = serial.read(ItemCollection.class, f);

The exception stack is below. This is happening because JAXB annotations used on the ItemCollection class are not available on Android devices.

Is it possible somehow to ignore these annotations while using Simple on an Android device? Does it require code change or is a workaround possible?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Simple-support] Performance and time consuming issues for parsing a big XML file using Simple

[Jebarlin R. <jeb...@gm...>]

Hi,

*Could anyone give me solution for the following Issues?*

Can I use Simple XML parser for parsing MS Office 2007 documents?


I am trying to parse MS Office 2007 document by using Simple, but for a big
document,
when I add more java files with more annotation, it is taking more time to
parse the XML.

For ex;
I added  ElementListUnion in most of the classes to identify the same type
of element.

Can anyone please give me a solution for performance issue when I parse a
 big XML file with more java files(more than 500 files) and annotation?

Thanks in advance.

[Simple-support] Multiple redirections to retrieve the elements and attributes.

[A K <ak....@gm...>]

Hi,

Am working with an android project and using Simple XML serialization api's
to parse the xml data. I have a prototype of the code and am porting the
same to suit my project.
In this code, i have multiple class redirections to read the elements and
attributes. for ex, as below -

*public class A
{
    private B b;
    private C c;
    private D d;

    public B getB() {
        return b;
    }

public C getC() {
        return c;
    }

public D getD() {
        return d;
    }

}

public class B
{
    @Element(name="x", required=false)
    private X x;

    @Element(name="y", required=false)
    private Y y;

    @Element(name="z", required=false)
    private Z z;

}
*
When i try to retrieve the data from the Class A and call the getB method,
it is throwing an exception. I need to get the instance of the classB. I am
not able to provide the specific Element name to the classB in classA. If
anyone knows the solution. kindly let me know.

[Simple-support] Serialization and namespace optimizations

[bubbleguuum <bub...@fr...>]

Hi,

I'm serializing namespace heavy data structures and there's a lot of redundency in the output as the namespace is specified for each element. For example:

<DIDL-Lite xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/DIDL-Lite/">
<item
        id="T1020"
        parentID="414">
<upnp:class xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/">object.item.audioItem.musicTrack</upnp:class>
<dc:title xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">2084</dc:title>
<upnp:albumArtURI
            dlna:profileID="JPEG_TN"
            xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/"
            xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:metadata-1-0/">http://1.2.3.4:9050/stream/99ae0c9ea500a4e4c41b4694e75380b5</upnp:albumArtURI>
<upnp:artist
            role="Performer"
            xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/">Redshape</upnp:artist>
<dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Redshape</dc:creator>
<upnp:genre xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/">Techno</upnp:genre>
<upnp:originalTrackNumber xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/">1</upnp:originalTrackNumber>
<dc:date xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">2006-01-02</dc:date>
<upnp:album xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/">2084 / Ultra</upnp:album>
</item>
</DIDL-Lite>


The namespace if specified for each element that specify a @Namespace.
Is it possible to configure the serializer (or change the class definition) to put all namespaces at the root element like shown below:

<DIDL-Lite
    xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/DIDL-Lite/"
    xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/"
    xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
    xmlns:dlna="urn:schemas-dlna-org:metadata-1-0/">
<item
        id="T1020"
        parentID="414">
<upnp:class>object.item.audioItem.musicTrack</upnp:class>
<dc:title>2084</dc:title>
<upnp:albumArtURI dlna:profileID="JPEG_TN">http://1.2.3.4:9050/stream/99ae0c9ea500a4e4c41b4694e75380b5</upnp:albumArtURI>
<upnp:artist role="Performer">Redshape</upnp:artist>
<dc:creator>Redshape</dc:creator>
<upnp:genre>Techno</upnp:genre>
<upnp:originalTrackNumber>1</upnp:originalTrackNumber>
<dc:date>2006-01-02</dc:date>
<upnp:album>2084 / Ultra</upnp:album>
</item>
</DIDL-Lite>

[Simple-support] How do you serialize an object as an attribute?

[James O. <Jam...@ip...>]

Let's say I have an object (ID).

ID:

-          Number

-          Version
This can be easily expressed as a simple string in the format <number>-<version> e.g. 1234-1
In most cases I'd like to express this as an attribute for other xml elements (id="1234-1")
However, it's currently in element format.
e.g. <ID number="1234" version="1">

How do I get this annotated to read into and out of another object's element's attribute?
e.g.
<someOtherObject attribute1="blah blah" id="1234-1"/>


To make this request more complicated, let's say I want to preserve some backwards compatibility and be able to deserialize the old element based XML, how would I do that?

Can I serialize the ID as an element in some cases where it is specified as an @Element in one including object or as an attribute in another including object where it is annotated as @Attribute there?

Thanks!

[Simple-support] Ignoring unavailable annotations (JAXB on Android devices)

[Tolga E. <al...@ho...>]

Hello,

>From my research, it seems that Simple is the best XML
serialization/deserialization framework available for Android. The API and
the framework "feels right". Thank you very much for your efforts, esp. on
getting it to work on Android. :-) 

I have started experimenting with Simple features and one issue that I need
help with is related to classes annotated both with JAXB and Simple (server
side is a servlet implemented using JAX-RS via RestEasy framework, hence the
use of JAXB). The following code works fine by itself (i.e. on a desktop
machine, as an Eclipse Java project) but fails to run on Android:

Serializer serial = new Persister();
File f = new File("somefilename.xml");
ItemCollection itemCollection = serial.read(ItemCollection.class, f);

The exception stack is below. This is happening because JAXB annotations
used on the ItemCollection class are not available on Android devices.

Is it possible somehow to ignore these annotations while using Simple on an
Android device? Does it require code change or is a workaround possible?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

The location is -1 when you are using DOM or when StAX does not have line support enabled.

[Simple-support] Error at line -1

[Aaron D. <di...@he...>]

Hi Niall,

Thanks for your great product. I just have an issue which is probably  
somewhere in the XML parser (i.e. outside simple) but maybe you know a  
solution anyway: The location in the file is always "line -1".

It seems that the default XML parser doesn't track the location.

Please also answer the question on stackoverflow.com:

Re: [Simple-support] Text with Element?

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

Hi,

It cant be done with annotations like this, you can try a converter which should work. This should consume the whole outer element, to it will need to read the text and the element.

There sould be examples in the test cases.

  Per the tutorial:

    

    The rules that govern the use of the Text
    annotation are that there can only be one per schema class. Also,
    this annotation cannot be used with the Element
    annotation. Only the Attribute
    annotation can be used with it as this annotation does not add any
    content within the owning element.
    

    

    ... I fully understand why, and the reasons behind it.  Now onto my
    problem, I'm trying to decode XML that is produced (I don't have to
    create it, just read), and they have the schema as such:

    

    <creation-center>

        <sub-center>subcenter info</sub-center>

        creationcenter info

    </creation-center>

    

    The schema that I need to decode is:

    

    -----

    <xsd:complexType name="sourceType">

        <xsd:all>

        ...

            <xsd:element name="creation-center"
    type="creation-centerType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>

        ...

        </xsd:all>

            <xsd:element name="sub-center" type="xsd:string"
    minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>

        </xsd:sequence>

    </xsd:complexType>

    -----

    

    

    My class that I'm currently trying to get to decode this XML is:

    

    import org.simpleframework.xml.Element;

    import org.simpleframework.xml.Text;

    

    @Element(name="creation-center")

    public class CreationCenter {

    

    //    @Element(name="sub-center", required=false)

    //    private String sub_center;

        

        @Text

        private String creation_center;

        

    ////

        

    //    public String getSub_Center() {

    //        return sub_center;

    //    }

        

        public String getCreation_Center() {

            return creation_center;

        }

    }

    

    If I don't comment out the "sub-center" element, the XML fails to
    parse, obviously.  How can I get both the main element text and the
    sub-element?

    

    Thanks.

Re: [Simple-support] Deserializing XML - @ElementList(entry="name", inline=true) - How to get the order of the element one by one?

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

You need to use the ElementListUnion annotation, take a look at the tutorial, also, the test cases have many examples. e.g

@ElementListUnion({
   @ElementList(entry="math", type=Math.class, inline=true),
   @ElementList(entry="science", type=Science.class, inline=true)
})

Hi,

I have just released a new version of simple, which increases the capabilities of the @Path annotation and also fixed some bugs with union annotations.

Thanks,

Re: [Simple-support] Generate line with xml version number

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

You can use the org.simpleframework.xml.stream.Format object, this allows you to specify a prolog. It can be passed to the Persister constructor.

Hi,

This looks cool, I have not built an RPM for Simple before, however I know there is a deb file. I may add this to the download so that future users can build an RPM if required.

Re: [Simple-support] How to avoid serializing zero values with Simple Xml

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

I see there was an answer posted, using an Integer instead of an int :)

Hey all,
I'm guessing there is a way of doing this, but I just can't figure out how.


The question, and all of the information, can be viewed at stackoverflow:


http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6932250/how-to-avoid-serializing-zero-values-with-simple-xml


Any response is appreciated.


kind regards,

Hi guys, 

Just wanted to thank your team for the great work.

I was looking for a serialization framework that would get along well with Google App Engine, GWT and Android at the same time.
- Simple annotations work with GWT and don't prevent your objects from being serialized through GWT RPC

- Simple fits in Google App Engine quite restrictive environement since you can work with streams and writers, not only files
- Android integration is seamless
No head scraching dependencies & configuration... a great, easy to use, all around framework!

That's what JAXB should have looked like to me.

[Simple-support] contribution: RPM Package for simple-xml

[Michael J. <mj...@cy...>]

Hi List.

     Firstly, I'm not subscribed, so please direct any replys to both 
myself and the mailing list.

     I've created an RPM package for simple-xml. We use it in a few of 
our internal applications, and needed a way to handle upgrades to newer 
versions.

     Here's the specfile for the package


Name:       simple-xml
Version:    2.6
Release:    1%{?dist}
Summary:    The Simple XML Serialization framework

URL: http://simple.sourceforge.net
Source: simple-xml-%{version}.tar.gz

BuildRoot:  %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
Group:      Development/Libraries
License:    Apache 2.0
BuildArch:  noarch

%description
Simple is a high performance XML serialization and configuration 
framework for Java. Its goal is to provide an XML framework that enables 
rapid development of XML configuration and communication systems. This 
framework aids the development of XML systems with minimal effort and 
reduced errors. It offers full object serialization and deserialization, 
maintaining each reference encountered. In essence it is similar to C# 
XML serialization for the Java platform, but offers additional features 
for interception and manipulation

%prep
%setup -q

%build
ant

%install

rm -rf %{buildroot}
mkdir -p %{buildroot}/usr/share/java/
cp jar/simple-xml-%{version}.jar %{buildroot}/usr/share/java/
ln -sf /usr/share/java/simple-xml-%{version}.jar 
%{buildroot}/usr/share/java/simple-xml.jar

%files
/usr/share/java/simple-xml-%{version}.jar
/usr/share/java/simple-xml.jar

%post

%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

%changelog
* Sun Aug 14 2011 Michael Jones <mj...@ep...> 2.6-1
- Initial package.

Attached to this email is the src.rpm file and rpm file generated by the 
rpmbuild program.

This rpm file should work on any RPM based linux distribution, and 
delivers two files
/usr/share/java/simple-xml-2.6.jar
and a symlink to that file at
/usr/share/java/simple-xml.jar


I am authorized by my employer to release this src.rpm, rpm and specfile 
under the Apache 2.0 license. No modifications or patches to simple-xml 
were needed to create the src rpm.

Cheers

Hi,
I'm new to Simple and I would like to ask you for some help.
I have a class looking like:
public void MyClass {
    private String type;    private Map<String, String> nameToValueMap;
}
I can not manage to get this class serialized in the following:<type name1="value1", name2="value2".../>
I tried with ElementMap annotation, but I can not get to:1. Inline the pairs (name,value) as attributes.2. Set the name of the node to the String type.
Thank you very much,gabriel

Managed to do it using a converter. Maybe there is a simpler way as well..
