[Simple-support] Path and Attribute

[Александр (R. Щ. <ir...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have the following problem with simpleframework.xml

<request>
<categories version="1"/>
<new version="2"/>
</request>

 When i use annotations:
 @Attribute(name = "version")
 @Path("categories")

int newsVersion;
@Attribute(name = "version")
@Path("news")
int newsVersion;

I get the error:

Re: [Simple-support] using mapping files with Simple XML

[Alexey S. <al...@gm...>]

Thanks to both Aaron and Niall for the detailed answers.
Looks like I have to ignore Android platform then and stick with old Castor
XML, which works OK for "real" Java.

His question was: "How can I achieve this *without* annotations?"

Alexey, Simple-XML builds an internal data structure from the  
annotations. Unfortunately, all the code is package private and Niall  
doesn't use factories which you can override (for example  
ScannerFactory is created with new inside the constructor of Support).

That means Simple XML is useless if you can't annotate your classes  
and you're not willing to patch the sources.

Re: [Simple-support] using mapping files with Simple XML

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

Hi,
There are some options in such cases, for instance you can write your own Converter to perform mappings on specific objects. Another is to accept both like so.
@Attribute(required=false)private String name;
@Attribute(required=false)private String login;
@Validateprivate void commit() throws Exception {  if(name != null) {     setUserName(name);  } else if(login != null) {     setUserName(login);  }}

Hi!
I'm working on a Java API for Redmine's REST service (www.redmine.org).

One of the users has recently submitted a bug that my API does not work under Android OS: https://code.google.com/p/redmine-java-api/issues/detail?id=17


I'm using Castor XML now,   but  unfortunately it does not work under Android so I'm looking for some other solution...I'd like to give SimpleXML a try, but don't want to add SimpleXML-specific annotations to my objects. moreover having annotations is not flexible - unfortunately, objects can be provided by the server  in different xml formats depending on how exactly I requested them.  so, in one case "user name"  can be stored in "name" attribute, and in another XML response from the REST service the same "user name" can be provided in "login"  attribute.

the way I deal with this in Castor XML is I use different XML mapping files for different requests/responses. e.g. one XML mapping file for getting "users list" and and another mapping for getting "project and its user/owner info".


any advice?

[Simple-support] using mapping files with Simple XML

[Alexey S. <al...@gm...>]

Hi!

I'm working on a Java API for Redmine's REST service (www.redmine.org).
One of the users has recently submitted a bug that my API does not work
under Android OS:
https://code.google.com/p/redmine-java-api/issues/detail?id=17

I'm using Castor XML now,   but  unfortunately it does not work under
Android so I'm looking for some other solution...
I'd like to give SimpleXML a try, but don't want to add SimpleXML-specific
annotations to my objects. moreover having annotations is not flexible -
unfortunately, objects can be provided by the server  in different xml
formats depending on how exactly I requested them.  so, in one case "user
name"  can be stored in "name" attribute, and in another XML response from
the REST service the same "user name" can be provided in "login"  attribute.
the way I deal with this in Castor XML is I use different XML mapping files
for different requests/responses. e.g. one XML mapping file for getting
"users list" and and another mapping for getting "project and its user/owner
info".

any advice?

[Simple-support] Information about Simple Framework and Tools

[Eduardo M. <emm...@gm...>]

Hi, I'm currently evaluating the replacement of JAXB with Simple, and
need some information, which I couldn't find in the website:

1) Is there a tool similar to xjc, which takes xsd as input and
produces the pojos?

2) Is Simple able to mix different set of pojos, bound to different
namespaces? For instance consider a schema which has an element that
can be extended with another qualified element, such as

<xs:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0"
         maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

Now we throw some xml to Simple for deserialization, and in that "any"
position comes an element bound to another set of Simple pojos, with
different namespace(s), will the framework deserialize that element
too into its own pojos?

3) Regarding serialization, and this is the major reason why I'm
considering to leave JAXB, when there is a JAXBContext bound to
multiple namespaces, the serialized xml root element will be "bloated"
with all possible namespaces, even if there are no children elements
with these namespaces. How does Simple handles such cases, same
procedure as jaxb? Includes in root element only the uses namespaces?
Declares "children" namespaces in all children elements, thus
introducing multiplies declarations of same namespaces?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Simple-support] Custom Referencing

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

Hi,

There are no real limits other that adhering to the Stategy interface, if there is an attribute that references something then just pick it out and use it. The CycleStrategy is not really much more than an IdentityHashMap, where you come up with the unique key.

It seems that even with heavy copy pasting from org.simpleframework.xml.strategy the job can't be done because attribute can represent only primitive type. Is there a reason why attribute cannot represent Composite to allow referencing through attributes?


2011/1/27 Dušan Maliarik <dus...@gm...>

That of course was the first thing I tried, but the problem is deeper. I'd need custom ReadGraph (package private), and it's still not clear where to put anyURI's # prefix. I don't see where the actual lookup is done. And even then, I'd endup with instance_geometry referring to geometry, and I'd loose child elements of instance_geometry. Actually only instance_geometry's url attribute should refer to geometry object, and the rest of it's children would still be accessible. I've done this before with JAXB, and python and ruby XML binding libs. But I have no idea how to implement this with simple (seems to be the only android compatible one). Apparently it's not that straight forward.

Hi all,
I chose simple for my android application for parsing COLLADA assets. They use object definition / reference schema, so I attempted to use CycleStrategy to ease the pain of
 traversing the object graph. I failed because in COLLADA schema, anyURI is used for referencing, which implies using hash (#) character in front of IDs.

<geometry id="foo">...</geometry>
and then
<instance_geometry url="#foo">...</instance>



I need to both resolve this reference, and have access to the child elements of instance_geometry. I haven't found a suitable place in simple to extend/override. What would be the most convenient solution to this problem in simple XML?

Hi,

Its possible, but only if you write a custom Converter yourself. The standard @ElementMap annotation does not support this currently.

Re: [Simple-support] Handling of ISO 8601 timestamps

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

Hi,

I think this is indexed on nabble.com. However, what you want is a Matcher implementation to return a Transform for java.util.Date.class. If you look in the test cases you will see many examples of the use of Matcher and Transform, just grab the code and use it (all in the .zip download).

[Simple-support] Maven-stype maps

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

Hello,

In Maven, you can create maps like so:

     <map>
         <foo>value of foo</foo>
         <bar>value of bar</bar>
     </map>

i.e. the element name is the key. Is such a mapping possible with  
Simple? Do you have an example?

[Simple-support] Handling of ISO 8601 timestamps

[Kenny M. <Ken...@tr...>]

First up, sorry if this is a FAQ on this list, but the SF mailing list 
seems to have no search facility.

Anyway, I'm looking to use SimpleXml (on Android) to process XML that 
makes extensive use of ISO 8601 timestamps (as used by the xs:datetime XML 
schema type), e.g.  2011-01-27T17:47:14Z

I would like to bind these to java.util.Date fields in my model. Now, the 
SimpleXml tutorial briefly mentions this concept, and the existence of 
"transformers", but gives no indication if these transformers are 
pluggable or configurable.

I could, of course, just use Strings, and translate them as required, but 
the schema in question is very complex, with many datetime fields, so this 
would be inelegant at best.

Is there a suggested solution to this problem?

P.S. Any chance of this group being migrated somewhere more useful, such 
as Google Groups?  The lack of a search facility is maddening, given how 
much useful information is in this list archive.

Re: [Simple-support] Custom Referencing

[Dušan M. <dus...@gm...>]

That of course was the first thing I tried, but the problem is deeper. I'd
need custom ReadGraph (package private), and it's still not clear where to
put anyURI's # prefix. I don't see where the actual lookup is done. And even
then, I'd endup with instance_geometry referring to geometry, and I'd loose
child elements of instance_geometry. Actually only instance_geometry's url
attribute should refer to geometry object, and the rest of it's children
would still be accessible. I've done this before with JAXB, and python and
ruby XML binding libs. But I have no idea how to implement this with simple
(seems to be the only android compatible one). Apparently it's not that
straight forward.

Re: [Simple-support] Custom Referencing

Not sure exactly what the problem is here.  But if the CycleStrategy does not work then just write your own strategy, e.g DusansNewCycleStategy, the implementation of the CycleStrategy can just be cut and pasted with modifications.

Hi all,
I chose simple for my android application for parsing COLLADA assets. They use object definition / reference schema, so I attempted to use CycleStrategy to ease the pain of traversing the object graph. I failed because in COLLADA schema, anyURI is used for referencing, which implies using hash (#) character in front of IDs.

<geometry id="foo">...</geometry>
and then
<instance_geometry url="#foo">...</instance>

I need to both resolve this reference, and have access to the child elements of instance_geometry. I haven't found a suitable place in simple to extend/override. What would be the most convenient solution to this problem in simple XML?

[Simple-support] Custom Referencing

[Dušan M. <dus...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I chose simple for my android application for parsing COLLADA assets. They
use object definition / reference schema, so I attempted to use
CycleStrategy to ease the pain of traversing the object graph. I failed
because in COLLADA schema, anyURI is used for referencing, which implies
using hash (#) character in front of IDs.

<geometry id="foo">...</geometry>

and then

<instance_geometry url="#foo">...</instance>

I need to both resolve this reference, and have access to the child elements
of instance_geometry. I haven't found a suitable place in simple to
extend/override. What would be the most convenient solution to this problem
in simple XML?

Re: [Simple-support] Transform of class not supported

 The class org.alt.knowledgebase.DataBase has no annotations on it. So it needs an implementation of Transform or an @Root annotation.

Hi,

I'm using Simple to create an XML file called BackupInfo.xml from this class:

@Root
public class BackupInfo {
    @Attribute
    private String backupName;
    @Element
    private int numberOfFiles;

    @ElementList 
    private ArrayList<FileInfo> files;
    @Element
    private Date date;
}

@Root 
class FileInfo{
    @Attribute
    public String fileName;
    @Element
    private String path;

    @Element
    private long fileSize;
    
    public FileInfo(String name, String aPath, long size) {
        fileName = name;
        path = aPath;
        fileSize = size;
    }
    
    public String getName(){

        return fileName;
    }
    
    public String getPath(){
        return path;
    }
}    

When I serialize it I get a XML file that looks like this:


-    <backupInfo backupName="1">
   <files>
      <fileInfo>
         <fileName>sms.xml</fileName>

         <path>/sdcard/sms.xml</path>
         <fileSize>2807</fileSize>
      </fileInfo>
      <fileInfo>
         <fileName>calllog.xml</fileName>
         <path>/sdcard/calllog.xml</path>

         <fileSize>1611</fileSize>
      </fileInfo>
      <fileInfo>
         <fileName>contacts.xml</fileName>
         <path>/sdcard/contacts.xml</path>
         <fileSize>1679</fileSize>

      </fileInfo>
   </files>
   <date>2011-01-21 16:55:15.63 GMT+00:00</date>
   <numberOfFiles>3</numberOfFiles>
</backupInfo>

Then I try to deserialize using:
     serializer = new Persister();
     File info = new File ("/sdcard/BackupInfo.xml");
     BackupInfo bi = serializer.read(BackupInfo.class, info);

At this point, I get the PersistenceException: Constructor not matched for class com.data.FileInfo


How do I solve this error? I searched everywhere (tutorial, google, this mail list) but couldn't find an answer.

Thx,
Thalisson

   <files>
      <fileInfo>
         <fileName>sms.xml</fileName>
         <path>/sdcard/sms.xml</path>
         <fileSize>2807</fileSize>
      </fileInfo>
      <fileInfo>
         <fileName>calllog.xml</fileName>
         <path>/sdcard/calllog.xml</path>
         <fileSize>1611</fileSize>
      </fileInfo>
      <fileInfo>
         <fileName>contacts.xml</fileName>
         <path>/sdcard/contacts.xml</path>
         <fileSize>1679</fileSize>
      </fileInfo>
   </files>
   <date>2011-01-21 16:55:15.63 GMT+00:00</date>
   <numberOfFiles>3</numberOfFiles>
</backupInfo>

Then I try to deserialize using:
     serializer = new Persister();
     File info = new File ("/sdcard/BackupInfo.xml");
     BackupInfo bi = serializer.read(BackupInfo.class, info);

At this point, I get the PersistenceException: Constructor not matched for
class com.data.FileInfo

How do I solve this error? I searched everywhere (tutorial, google, this
mail list) but couldn't find an answer.

Thx,

[Simple-support] Best way to loop over elements

[Jason R. <jr...@ri...>]

I have an xml file that has this structure:
<Rhs>
      <Ads>
            <Zone name="default">
                 <Page name="default">
                       <Position position="1">
                            <adUrl>http://ad.server.net/adj/trm.ra/default;pos=RR1;sz=120x207;tile=1</adUrl>
                        </Position>
                        <Position position="2">
                             <adUrl>http://ad.server.net/adj/trm.ra/default;pos=RR2;sz=120x207;tile=2</adUrl>
                        </Position>
                  </Page>
          </Zone>
     </Ads>
</Rhs>
I have classes for Ads, Zones, Page and Position that are working fine for getting me the adUrl data for a particular page name.  Now, in my code when I want to render certain code that uses the adUrl, I have the following, which seems to go over every element in the xml file, whereas I was wondering if I could break out of the loop once it finds the page I'm on and get's those values. The issue is that once I generate the code for the current page, it still goes through my else condition and generates all of the code for every other page in my xml file, which I don't want.  Here is the code that does the looping:

StringBuffer rhsStringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
//Get the page for which the RHS should be displayed
rhsPage = getRightHandSideValue();

Ads ads = RhsHelperMethods.getRhsDetailsByPageName();
for (Zone zone : ads.getZones()) {
   for (Page page : zone.getPages()) {
         if (page.name.equalsIgnoreCase(rhsPage)) {
               for (Position position : page.getPositions()) {
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<script type=\"text/javascript\">\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("ord = window.ord || Math.floor(Math.random()*1E16);\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("document.write('<script type=\"text/javascript\" ");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("src=\"");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(position.getAdUrl());
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(";ord=' + ord + '?\">\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<\\/script>');\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("</script>\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<noscript>\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<a href=\"");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(position.getAdUrl());
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(";ord=123456789?\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<img src=\"");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(position.getAdUrl());
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(";ord=123456789?\" alt=\"NEED ALT TEXT HERE\" />\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("</a>\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("</noscript>\r\n");
               }
         } else {
               page.setName("default");
               for (Position position : page.getPositions()) {
                     logger.debug("Missing page name, using default RHS");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<script type=\"text/javascript\">\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("ord = window.ord || Math.floor(Math.random()*1E16);\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("document.write('<script type=\"text/javascript\" ");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("src=\"");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(position.getAdUrl());
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(";ord=' + ord + '?\">\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<\\/script>');\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("</script>\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<noscript>\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<a href=\"");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(position.getAdUrl());
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(";ord=123456789?\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("<img src=\"");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(position.getAdUrl());
                     rhsStringBuffer.append(";ord=123456789?\" alt=\"NEED ALT TEXT HERE\" />\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("</a>\r\n");
                     rhsStringBuffer.append("</noscript>\r\n");
               }
         }
    }
}
rhsItem = rhsStringBuffer.toString();
