Subject: [Expat-discuss] Please help me about ExternalEntityRefHandler.
Message-ID: <20020318084903.GA6379@none.at>

Hi,

i need some explanation about the 'ExternalEntityRefHandler' ;-)

I need to check the definition in the DTD with the data which i get.

I'm not shure that expat is the right tool for that, can he parse DTD?

1.) what can the 'context' be?
2.) and which parser does i need the 'XML_ParserCreate' or
    'XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate'?

typedef int
(*XML_ExternalEntityRefHandler)(XML_Parser p,
                                const XML_Char *context,
                                const XML_Char *base,
                                const XML_Char *systemId,
                                const XML_Char *publicId);

The doc said:

.
.

>Second, instead of having userData as its first argument, it receives
>the parser that encountered the entity reference.

Therefore i need the 'XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate' or?

>This, along with the context parameter, may be used as arguments to a
>call to  XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate. Using the returned parser, the
>body of the external entity can be recursively parsed.

I don't understand this right i think :-(

Test.xml:

<!DOCTYPE ZMR SYSTEM "zmr.dtd">
 <ZMR>

 <Action>MYA</Action>

 <Person>

  <IdentMerkmale>
   <Familienname>Mustinger</Familienname>
   <Vorname>Maximilian</Vorname>
   <Staatsangehoerigkeit>Oesterr</Staatsangehoerigkeit>

  <Person_Grund_Beginn>Geburt</Person_Grund_Beginn>
  <Person_Beschreibung_Beginn>Neujahrsbaby</Person_Beschreibung_Beginn>
 </Person>
</ZMR>

Are the context ZMT or ACTION or PERSON ...?
And when should be called the ExternalParser bevor or after start?

Here the c-snipped:

  FILE *infile=fopen(*++argv,"r");
  outfile=fopen(*++argv,"w");

  XML_Parser parser = XML_ParserCreate("UTF-8");
    /* When should i use this? */
  XML_Parser extparser = XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate(parser,"ZMR","UTF-8");

  XML_SetElementHandler(parser, startElement, endElement);
  XML_SetExternalEntityRefHandler(parser,externalEntityRefHandler); 
  XML_SetParamEntityParsing(parser,XML_PARAM_ENTITY_PARSING_ALWAYS);
  XML_SetCharacterDataHandler(parser,characterDataHandler);

and the function 'externalEntityRefHandler':

int
externalEntityRefHandler(XML_Parser p, const XML_Char *context, const
XML_Char *base, const XML_Char *systemId, const XML_Char *publicId){

  fprintf(outfile,"context :%s: base :%s: systemid :%s: pubid :%s:\n",
                          context,base,systemId,publicId);
  return 0;
}
			     
Please can anybody explain me Step by step how can i use this feature
from expat, a link whith a example?

Thanx

al ;-)

All,

I have a console app that must be compiled using the MSVC++'s static
single-threaded C run time libraries.  I would like to use an XML config
file for the application.  What can I do with expat to compile a statically
linked library?  Does anybody have any advice?

On Unix, I'd just tell you to link to libexpat.a, but I don't do
enough Windows development to know.  I do hope someone can tell you
how to build this.

Even better, if someone can produce additional "configuration"
sections for the MSVC project file, I'd be glad to add them for the
next release.

Subject: [Expat-discuss] SOAP envelope
Message-ID: <20020319151715.40540.qmail@web14502.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi,
I am using EXPAT's XML parser to read XML documents. I
have a requirement to extend my application to read
and write SOAP envelopes. I have couple of questions.
1. Does expat handle SOAP envelopes? 
2. If not are there any plans of extending EXPAT API's
to read SOAP envelopes?
3. Are there any libraries or SOAP parsers (in tight
C) out there which can aid in reading/writing SOAP
envelopes. Any help regarding this would be highly
appreciated.

Thanks
Pankaja

Hi James,

I'm using expat XML parser in both Windows & Nucleus platform.
Because this parser is very small (only several c files), maybe you can
just copy its over to your project folder and treat it as a lib or what
ever.
I made it as a static lib in Nucleus. For single-threaded environment, I
didn't try.
Hope it helps,

Fei

There are DOZENS of soap implementations in many languages.

Expat is a general, non-validating XML parser.  Given a SOAP message,
it can parse it into SAX-like events, but does not offer any specific
support for SOAP.  It should not be difficult to implement an
efficient set of Expat callbacks that build a generally-useful object
that represents the SOAP envelope, but I don't know of an available
package that provides that for you.

If anyone knows of such a package, I'd be glad to add a link from
expat.sourceforge.net.

No.  Expat itself should not need to be changed in any way.

I'd start looking at www.soapware.org.

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20020326110459.00a8b100@wheresmymailserver.com>

Hello,

I have just started using expat and would like to ask what is probably a 
novice question.  In reading through the documentation,  one section says 
that expat contains built-in support for the utf-16 character 
encoding.  But I'm having trouble getting a utf-16-encoded stream to 
parse.  In a program like this...

XML_Parser parser = XML_ParserCreate(/* character encoding */ "UTF-16");
XML_SetElementHandler(parser, StartHandler, EndHandler);

if( ! XML_Parse(parser, element.c_str(), element.length(), done)){
...
}

when fed a string that contains...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

I get an error like this...

not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1

If I change this string to contain <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>, 
things work well.  However, the xml content is delivered over a socket from 
a server which is not under my control.

I'm using the visual c project file I downloaded from expat 1.95.2 
archive.  My guess is that I'm not doing something I ought to, but I don't 
know where to look.

Thanks is advance for any advice,

If the string is exactly as you have it above in the file, that's not
utf-16.  A UTF-16 document starts with a BOM header (0xFE 0xFF for
big-endian) and each character is two bytes wide.

Also, make sure that if you specify utf-8 (either explicitly or through
omission of the XML header) that your generated documents are actually
output in utf-8, and not iso-8859-1, which is more common in the US.

My favorite Unicode encoding page is:
