Hi All, I am having difficulty parsing using Saxon and TagSoup parser on a namespace html document. The relevant content of this document are as follows: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> â¦â¦.. </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <table class="sresults"> <tr> <td> <a href="http://www.abc.com/areas" title=" </td> <td> <a href="http://www.abc.com/areas" title=" </td> <td> <a href="http://www.abc.com/areas" title=" </td> <td> <a href="http://www.abc.com/areas" title=" </td> </tr> â¦â¦â¦. </body> </html> Below is the relevant code snippets illustrates how I have attempted to retrieve the contents (value of <a>): import java.util.*; import org.jdom.*; import org.jdom.xpath.*; import org.saxpath.*; import org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser; ( 1 ) frInHtml = new FileReader("C:\\Tmp\\ABC.html"); ( 2 ) brInHtml = new BufferedReader(frInHtml); ( 3 ) // SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"); ( 4 ) SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser"); ( 5 ) org.jdom.Document jdomDocument = saxbuilder.build(brInHtml); ( 6 ) XPath xpath = XPath.newInstance("/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='container']/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:table[@class='sresults']/ns:tr/ns:td/ns:a"); ( 7 ) xpath.addNamespace("ns", "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"); ( 8 ) java.util.List list = (java.util.List) (xpath.selectNodes(jdomDocument)); ( 9 ) Iterator iterator = list.iterator(); ( 10 ) while (iterator.hasNext()) ( 11 ) { ( 12 ) Object object = iterator.next(); ( 13 ) // if (object instanceof Element) ( 14 ) // System.out.println(((Element)object).getTextNormalize()); ( 15 ) if (object instanceof Content) ( 16 ) System.out.println(((Content)object).getValue()); } â¦. This program would work on the same document without the default namespace, hence, it would not be necessary to include ânsâ prefix along in the XPath statements (line 6-7) either. Moreover, I was using âorg..apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParserâ to have successfully retrieve content of <a> from the same document without default namespace in the past. I would like to achieve the following objectives if possible: ( i ) Exclude DTD and namespace in order to simplifying the parsing process. How this could be done? ( ii ) If this is not possible, how to include it in XPath statements (line 6-7) so that the value of <a> is picked up correctly? ( iii ) Would changing from âorg.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParserâ to âorg.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parserâ make any difference as far as using XPath is concerned? ( iv ) Failing to exlude DTD, how to change the lookup of a PUBLIC DTD to a local SYSTEM one and include a local DTD for reference? I am running JDK 1.6.0_06, Netbeans 6.1, JDOM 1.1, Saxon6-5-5, Tagsoup 1.2 on Windows XP platform. Any assistance would be appreciated.
