DOM4J: Remove duplicate xml elements from xml

Today i will explain about handling duplicate xml elements of xml.

I think you are little bit aware with DOM4J API from Apache Foundation.

DOM4J API basically is for playing with XML. Sometime your facing the issue that how to get distinct element list from the given xml. To achive this we iterate whole document and get required list. But same thing can be achive by given DOM4J API.

You need to have a latest copy of dom4j.jar. You can easily download it from Sourceforge

Here i will show you the practical example of the same.

//XML Document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document>
<element>
<id>1</id>
</element>
<element>
<id>1</id>
</element>
<element>
<id>2</id>
</element>
<element>
<id>3</id>
</element>
<element>
<id>2</id>
</element>
<element>
<id>6</id>
</element>
<element>
<id>5</id>
</element>
<element>
<id>3</id>
</element>
<element>
<id>4</id>
</element>
<element>
<id>4</id>
</element>
</document>

Now create one class file and add below code snippet in your class
String xmlDoc = ""; //Add code which reads the xml input file from your file location

//Creating org.dom4j.Document objet from xml content
Document document = DocumentHelper.parseText(xmlDoc);

//Now creating distinct list from the created xml ducument with below code snippet

List<Node> nodes = document.selectNodes("//document/element", "id", true);

/*
* XPath for distinct element : "//document/element"
* Element name on which nodes will be compare: "id"
* Boolean flag which indicates to remove duplicate nodes or not.

XSLT Transformation: Full Swing Application

Hi to All,

I have lots of work with xslt and XML.
I frequently required xml transformation with xsl file. There haven't any xslt transformation tool with me as a open source.
So i came with basic xslt transformation application with java swing.

Through this application you can transform with the help of xslt.
You can also format your xml in well-formed xml with this application.

Create one class with the help of below sample code your transformer is ready to work. When you run this class then main screen is launched as i have attached screen shot.

You simple select your xslt file and xml file from appropriate button on the main screen. For transformation of xml file is performed by clicking on Transform button.

Once you click on Transform button, than resultant xml file will be printed on blank area of the screen. If any error occurred in transformation than error message will be printed in red color.

If you want to format you xml file, than simply copy your xml file content.
Once you done than clicked on the Format XML button than well-formed xml is being printed on text area.

Below is the full sample code.

Android: Downloading a file from Server and save it into SD card with progress bar

Android: Downloading a file from Server and save it into SD card with progress bar


Hi to all,
Now i am  going to explain here about how to download file from remote server and save it in SD card.
For this tutorial i assumed that you might have good in Android application development with popular IDE Eclipse.
So lets start to see how this happen in Android.

First of all you need to create a demo application in eclipse.
For me i have created Android Demo.
Create an class which is you launching point of your application.

Here, i called it MainActivity.java which extends the Activity.
Now, before we go in detail we need to give some permission to our
application on mobile device operating system so it can utilize the mobile features.

For internet connectivity we need to add below entry in our AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

This permission is enough to access the internet by our application.

Now we need to give permission for reading and writing to our application.
These can be achieved by adding below permission in AndroidManifest.xml,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />

Now our application has full rights to read/write and access to internet.

After this configuration we need to jump in our designing part.
Here, i have used only one button download. On clicking on the download button it
simply make a remote server request to download a file.

Below is my code snippet for the screen design xml,

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<Button
        android:id="@+id/buttonDownload"
        android:text="@string/buttonDonwload"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:title="@string/buttonDonwload"/>
</menu>

After all these stuffes, now we need to code to make this apps running.
Below is the full code for which you are looking for.

DWR Integration Step By Step

Brief introduction of DWR
The DWR (Direct Web Remoting) project is an open source solution under the Apache license for the developer who wants to use AJAX and XMLHttpRequest in an easy way. It has a set of JavaScript functions that remove the complexity from calling methods in a Java object running on the application server from the HTML page. It handles parameters of different types and helps keep the HTML code readable.

DWR is not intrusive to one's design, as it does not force any sort of inheritance architecture for objects to be exposed. It fits well in any application that runs in a servlet framework. For the less DHTML-experienced developers, DWR also provides a JavaScript library to help with frequently used DHTML tasks, like populating tables, filling select boxes with items, and changing the content of HTML elements such as and.

The DWR Website is comprehensive and has a fair amount of documentation, which has served as a foundation for this article. Some examples are provided to demonstrate how DWR can be used and what can be accomplished with the library.
Reference: Java World

I am going to show you about how to integrate DWR framework in your running J2EE application. Below are the steps to configure DWR framework.

Step 1: Download required files
For integrating DWR in your application, you need some supported files. You can easily find these files on official page of DWR.
http://directwebremoting.org/dwr/index.html

You need to download below files,
1) dwr.jar [http://directwebremoting.org/dwr/downloads/index.html] [deploy in your respective WEB-INF/lib dir]
2) commons-logging.jar [deploy in your respective WEB-INF/lib dir]
3) util.js [deploy in your respective folder where your jsp and js files resides]
4) engine.js [deploy in your respective folder where your jsp and js files resides]

Step 2: Configuration in your web application
We need to create dwr.xml file where your DWR related configuration and put this file in dir where your web.xml of your application reside.
I am showing the structure of the dwr.xml.
// DWR XML Content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE dwr PUBLIC "-//GetAhead Limited//DTD Direct Web Remoting 3.0//EN" "http://getahead.org/dwr/dwr30.dtd">
<dwr>
<!-- init is only needed if you are extending DWR
<init>
<creator id="..." class="..." />
<converter id="..." class="..." />
</init> -->
<!-- without allow, DWR isn't allowed to do anything -->
<allow>
<filter class="com.makhir.filters.DWRFilter" /><!-- Your DWR filter here which manage the request/response to DWR servlet -->
<create creator="new" javascript="DWRInvoker"><!-- Your DWR Servlet class which handles the actual request and response -->
<param name="class" value="com.makhir.servlets.DWRInvoker"/>
</create>
<convert converter="bean" match="com.makhir.vo.UserRegisterVO" /> <!-- POJO entry for transferring along network if any-->
</allow>
<!-- you may need to tell DWR about method signatures
<signatures>
...
</signatures> -->

</dwr>

Now make an entry for dwr servlet in web.xml for URL mapping as below,
// web.xml entry
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dwr-starter</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.directwebremoting.servlet.DwrServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
    <param-name>debug</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
  </init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dwr-starter</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/dwr/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Thats it as point of configuration.

Step 3: Code changes for Server side management
A) Create one filter with name DWRFilter whose entry is already available in dwr.xml with name DWRFilter
Note: We need not make this filter entry in our web.xml as we do traditionally
Below is the code snippet of for the filter,

//DWRFilter.java
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.directwebremoting.AjaxFilter;
import org.directwebremoting.AjaxFilterChain;

public class DWRFilter implements AjaxFilter{
private static Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(DWRFilter.class);
@Override
public Object doFilter(Object object, Method method, Object[] params, AjaxFilterChain filterChain) throws Exception {
logger.debug("Enter : Entering into DWRFilter");
// TODO: Add code for some filteration on methods and params which are interchange between server and client
logger.debug("Exit : Entering into DWRFilter");
return filterChain.doFilter(object, method, params);
}
}

B) Create class for which is going to responsible for handling your reqeust of dwr call from the client
Here i made a class with name DWRInvoker.java as its entry already available in dwr.xml
Below is the code snippet of for the filter,

//DWRInvoker.java
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import com.makhir.vo.UserRegisterVO;

public class DWRInvoker {
private static Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(DWRInvoker.class);
public DWRInvoker(){} // Default Constructor
public Object getUserInfo(String userId){
logger.debug("Enter : getUserInfo()");
UserRegisterVO registerVO = new UserRegisterVO(); //UserRegisterVO which is going to transfer on network.Its entry available in dwr.xml
registerVO.setUserName("Ashish Mishra");
registerVO.setUserId(userId);
registerVO.setDepartment("Development");
logger.debug("Exit : getUserInfo()");
return registerVO;
}
}

C) Create POJO class which is also your value object. Here i have created with name UserRegistrationVO.java.
Make an entry in dwr.xml in convert element.

Step 4: Code changes for client side management
Now its time make some changes on client side.
Here we need to create jsp files in which you want to manage your interaction with client and server with help of DWR call.
A) Download engine.js file from official DWR home page and depoly it in your dir where your jsp resides
B) Download util.js file from official DWR home page and depoly it in your dir where your jsp resides
C) Creating DWRInvoker.js in your application where your jsp and scripting files resides

Below is script snippet for your reference,
  //DWRInvoker.js

if (typeof dwr == 'undefined' || dwr.engine == undefined) throw new Error('You must include DWR engine before including this file');
(function() {
 if (dwr.engine._getObject("DWRInvoker") == undefined) {
var p;

p = {};
p._path = '/extreme/dwr';

/**
* @param {class java.awt.image.BufferedImage} p0 a param
* @param {class java.lang.String} p1 a param
* @param {class java.lang.String} p2 a param
* @param {function|Object} callback callback function or options object
*/
p.getUserInfo = function(p0, callback) {
 return dwr.engine._execute(p._path, 'DWRInvoker', 'getUserInfo', arguments);
};

dwr.engine._setObject("DWRInvoker", p);
 }
})();
/**
function DWRInvoker(){}
DWRInvoker.getUserInfo = function(p0,callback){
DWREngine._execute('/extreme/dwr','DWRInvoker','getUserInfo',p0,callback);
}
*/
D) Create your JSP page from where actual DWR calling will happen
  Here, i my case i have created the jsp file for your reference with name profilePage.jsp which load the profile details.
  DWR call will made by the client when profilePage.jsp is load and fetch specific user profile data from server and display it onto client
  browser without refreshing the page.
  You can make DWR call through any of events supported by the HTML component.
  Below is code snippet of the jsp file.
 
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Extreme Application</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="engine.js"> </script> <%-- engine.js which should always be first  script file to be included [Mandatory] --%>
<script type="text/javascript" src="DWRInvoker.js"> </script> <%-- DWRInvoker.js needs to be included [Mandatory]--%>
<script type="text/javascript" src="util.js"> </script> <%-- util.js needs to be included for enhance the feature provided by DWR[Optional] --%>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadProfile(){
dwr.util.useLoadingImage('images/ajax-loader.gif'); <%-- Progress image for showing the progress of dwr call on client side  --%>
DWRInvoker.getUserInfo(<%=userid%>, getinfo); <%-- Actual DWR call to get user's profile data from the server  --%>
}
function getinfo(data){ <%-- scripting method which handles the server response from DWR call--%>
document.getElementById("txtUserName").value = data.userName;
document.getElementById("txtDept").value = data.department;
document.getElementById("txtCity").value = data.city;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="loadProfile();">
<form action="#" method="post" name="updateFrom" id="updateFrom" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table align="left" id="regisTable" style="border-color: gray;">
<tr>
<td class="td">Name</td>
<td class="td">:</td>
<td class="td"><input type="text" name="txtUserName" id="txtUserName" value="''"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="td">Department</td>
<td class="td">:</td>
<td class="td"><input type="text" name="txtDept" id="txtDept" value="''"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="td">City</td>
<td class="td">:</td>
<td class="td"><input type="text" name="txtCity" id="txtCity" value="''" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I think i might have covered all those things which required to configure DWR in J2EE application.
