Converting String to XML

Actually for one of requirements I was looking for some piece of code that will actually parse String xml(Example - "Gaurav" )into XML.

I found the code in JavaRanch. For my convinience I am saving it here also.

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.StringWriter;

import org.apache.commons.configuration.XMLConfiguration;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;

public class Hello {
String s = "hello";

// create an input stream
ByteArrayInputStream xmlIn = new ByteArrayInputStream(s.getBytes());

// get a document builder from the pool

public void build() throws Exception {
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory
.newInstance();

DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();

Document doc = builder.parse(xmlIn);

StringWriter output = new StringWriter();
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer().transform(
new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(output));

File f = new File("c:/test/something.xml");
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(f);
fout.write(output.toString().getBytes());

} catch (Exception e) {
throw e;
}
}

Hello() {

}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Hello h = new Hello();
h.build();
}
}

I am back

From the beginning I want to improve my english writing skills. But it never worked in my way. So I will try to improve that by righting some english blog. As I am right now concentrating more in Java/J2EE. I will post some articles in java.

May be this is helpful for the beginners. Let me try my level best.

From today I will try to blog once in a week.

public class WelcomeBack {

public static void main(String args[]) {

System.out.println("Welcome Back Buddy.");

}
}

James Gosling - "Father of Java"

This entire blog is dedicated to James Gosling "Father of Java" for giving me, bread and butter for my living. :-)


He has built satellite data acquisition systems, a multiprocessor version of Unix®, several compilers, mail systems and window managers. He has also built a WYSIWYG text editor, a constraint based drawing editor and a text editor called 'Emacs' for Unix® systems.

At Sun his early activity was as lead engineer of the NeWS window system. He did the original design of the Java programming language and implemented its original compiler and virtual machine. He has recently been a contributor to the Real-Time Specification for Java.

He is currently a researcher at Sun labs where his primary interest is software development tools.
