Question

It's my hometask. I don't understand what it want from me and why it doesn't work. It fails on the reader.next() . The path is right. Here's the code on Java of StAXParser:

public class StAXParser {

private Dances dances;
private Dance currentDance;
private Dancer currentDancer;

public static void main(String[] args) {
    StAXParser stAXParser = new StAXParser();
    stAXParser.parse("DanceGroupConcerts.xml");
}

public Dances getDances() {
    return dances;
}

public StAXParser() {
}

public void parse (String xmlFileName){
    try {
        XMLStreamReader reader = XMLInputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamReader(new StringReader(xmlFileName));
        int tag;
        String tagName;
        String text = new String();
        while (reader.hasNext()){
            tag = reader.next();

            switch (tag){
                case XMLStreamReader.START_ELEMENT:

                    tagName = reader.getLocalName();

                    if (tagName == "Dances")
                        dances = new Dances();
                    if (tagName.equals("Dance"))
                        currentDance = new Dance();
                    if (tagName.equals("Dancer"))
                        currentDancer = new Dancer();
                    break;

                case XMLStreamReader.CHARACTERS:
                    text = reader.getText();
                    break;

                case XMLStreamReader.END_ELEMENT:

                    tagName = reader.getLocalName();

                    if (tagName.equals("Dancer"))
                        currentDance.getDancers().add(currentDancer);
                    if (tagName.equals("Dance"))
                        dances.getDance().add(currentDance);
                    if (tagName.equals("Type"))
                        currentDance.setType(text);
                    if (tagName.equals("Scene"))
                        currentDance.setScene(text);
                    if (tagName.equals("NumberOfDancers"))
                        currentDance.setNumberOfDancers(NumberOfDancers.fromValue(text));
                    if (tagName.equals("Music"))
                        currentDance.setMusic(Music.fromValue(text));
                    if (tagName.equals("Name"))
                        currentDancer.setName(text);
                    if (tagName.equals("DanceTeam"))
                        currentDancer.setNameOfDanceTeam(text);
                    if (tagName.equals("Age"))
                        currentDancer.setAge(BigInteger.valueOf(Integer.valueOf(text)));
                    if (tagName.equals("Experience"))
                        currentDancer.setExperience(BigInteger.valueOf(Integer.valueOf(text)));
                    if (tagName.equals("Number"))
                        currentDance.setNumber(BigInteger.valueOf(Integer.valueOf(text)));

                    break;
            }


        }

    } catch (XMLStreamException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

}

Thank's for help. Sorry if my english was too bad.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The problem lies with your XML-File. There is some (invisible) content before the <?xml... which causes the parser to fail. See this question for a possible solution: Content is not allowed in Prolog SAXParserException

To answer your edit: It is possible that you won't see this as a visible character in Notepad++ - check the following url for a possible solution: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-handle-utf8-file-with-bom.html
