Hi,

I want to parse an xml doc using DOM parser. I have written the logic but the build fails coz i am unable to use the following in Blackberry JDE.

* java.io.FileOutputStream
* javax.xml.transform
* javax.xml.parsers

If blackberry does not support the above packages how do I parse in a blackberry application?
Will i be able to use DOM parser for Blackberry application?
Should i use the SAX parser?
Which is better for a Blackberry application SAX or DOM Parser?

I started here: How to - Use the XML Parser so the SAX parser.

Thanks a lot for the help!!

Thanks a ton. Its really help me..............

Thanks for the suggestions. I am new to BB design, but I've been developing Java using some flavor of Eclipse for several years.

The Parsing part, I have implemented. I'm sure it would work if I could get it to run. The problem is that it builds fine, but when I try to run or debug it using the simulator, it tells me that the preverifier failed. It's choking on the org.w3c.dom classes. When I comment those declarations out, it will run (but not parse - no code).

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Am I supposed to build with any special additional libraries? I'm using a standard jre6, I'm using the 4.5 version of the plug-in (though I have through 4.7 installed).

Thanks!

What is your test environment?

Simulator, device, OS Level.

Also, can you be more specific about the error message?

[dlpbbdev]

Thanks for the quick response!

Simulator: BB 8300
OS: XP Home
IDE: Eclipse 3.4

It builds fine, but as soon as I try to run the app in the simulator, I get this in the Problems view:

Error preverifying class com.service.XMLResponseParser
Error!: Error: preverifier failed: C:\Program Files\BlackBerry Web Tools\plugins\net.rim.eide.componentpack4.5.0_4.5. 0.16\components\bin ...

These are my imports in my rather tiny class:

import net.rim.device.api.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import net.rim.device.api.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFact ory;
import net.rim.device.api.xml.parsers.ParserConfiguration Exception;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

The problem I have is that when I comment out all of the code that uses the Document, InputSource, and the SAXException (and remove the imports, too), it compiles and runs fine.

Thanks, in advance...

I was referring to the device and/or simulator OS.

This sounds to me like you are compiling on 4.5 and running on an 8300 sim that has 4.2.1. You can run on a OS level at or greater than your JDE level, but not lower.

Check Options / About to get the OS level on the simulator or device.

[dlpbbdev]

I don't see Options / About, but I do see Help / About. It shows this:

About - BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator

Sorry for the ignorance, but I'm new to Black Berry Dev.

[Dougsg38p]

If you have an 8300 sim or device then you have an Options and/or Settings icon on your main screen. Select it.

Now choose "About" from the list of options.

You should see something like:

Blackberry 8300
V4.2.2.180 (Platform 2.5.0.36)

The OS version is 4.2.2.180, in this case.

Depending on what theme you are running on the device, you may or may not need to press the MENU key to find the homescreen. On must Curve themes, the OPtions icon is a wrench.

[dlpbbdev]

I am away from my environment, but when I get back to it this evening, I will check. How do I "upgrade" it if it is below 4.5?

[dlpbbdev]

Thanks for the advice and sorry for the delay. Work - then fixing two cars.

Here's what I have:

BlackBerry 8300
smartphone (EDGE)
v4.5.0.44 (Platform)
Cryptographic Kernal v3.8.5.32a
Micro Edition Configuration CLDC-1.1
Micro Edition Profile: MIDP-2.0
Micro Edition JTWI Version: 1.0
Micro Edition Media Version: 1.1
Micro Edition PIM Version: 1.0
Micro Edition File Version: 1.0

Does that help?

class com.service.XMLResponseParser

I don't recognize this as part of the RIM API - is this your class?

[dlpbbdev]

Yes. That's my class that has all the XML parsing code in it.

[Dougsg38p]

I'm at a loss. I use these classes with 4.5 and have never seen this issue.

I'm guessing that there is something messed up in your installation.

[dlpbbdev]

Wow. Okay. I appreciate your taking the time.

What could I have done wrong to cause this? Is there a plug-in that I might have missed? The org.w3c.dom package is standard in 1.6, isn't it?

I'll take any last second ideas you or anyone might have...

[Dougsg38p]

The DOM package is standard in the RIM API, but I wonder if you are resolving to the SE version of the package, rather than the RIM (ME) version?

I don't use Eclipse for BB development so I'm afraid I cannot help on the tool setup.

[dlpbbdev]

Hmm. That's a thought. Is that a variation in the JDK or the plug-in? My version of Eclipse is just the standard 3.4 version. I would imagine that it is just something that's installed. Is the SE vs. ME version installed directly to the OS or is it just an add-on to the IDE?

[Dougsg38p]

I'm guessing that the RIM jars come down with the RIM Blackberry pug-in, right?

Can you double-check your build path?

[dlpbbdev]

I have a RIM library in my build path. How do I verify that it's the right one?
