Converting XML with XSLT and Java

Here is the code in Java to do this. No external library is needed.


import java.io.*;

/**
* A simple demo of JAXP 1.1
*/
public class SimpleJaxp {

/**
* Accept two command line arguments: the name of
* an XML file, and the name of an XSLT stylesheet.
* The result of the transformation
* is written to stdout.
*/
public static void main(String[] args)
throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException {
if (args.length != 2) {
System.err.println("Usage:");
System.err.println(" java " + SimpleJaxp.class.getName( )
+ " xmlFileName xsltFileName");
System.exit(1);
}

File xmlFile = new File(args[0]);
File xsltFile = new File(args[1]);

javax.xml.transform.Source xmlSource =
new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(xmlFile);
javax.xml.transform.Source xsltSource =
new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(xsltFile);
javax.xml.transform.Result result =
new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(System.out);

// create an instance of TransformerFactory
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory transFact =
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.newInstance( );

javax.xml.transform.Transformer trans =
transFact.newTransformer(xsltSource);

trans.transform(xmlSource, result);
}
}

Bash commands from Java: Good way

A string can be executed in the standard java way:
def command = """ping -c1 -W1 hostname""" // Create the String
def proc = command.execute() // Call *execute* on the string
proc.waitFor() // Wait for the command to finish

// Obtain status and output
println "return code: ${ proc.exitValue()}"
println "stderr: ${proc.err.text}"
println "stdout: ${proc.in.text}" // *out* from the external program is *in* for groovy

Flat file to XML Conversion

If you need to convert flat file to XML look no further. Here is the Java software that can be used for this.

JConsole JMX to Weblogic

Hello,

We found a workaround that doesn't need to compile and run a proxy.

Just set JAVA_HOME and BEA_HOME and run:

RedHat
jconsole -J-Djava.class.path=$JAVA_HOME/lib/jconsole.jar:/usr/bea40/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/wljmxclient.jar -J-Djmx.remote.protocol.provider.pkgs=weblogic.management.remote

Windows
jconsole -J-Djava.class.path=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\jconsole.jar;%BEA_HOME%\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\wljmxclient.jar -J-Djmx.remote.protocol.provider.pkgs=weblogic.management.remote


Connection string:
service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/iiop://localhost:7001/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.domainruntime



----------------------------------------


1. After having the same issue, it turned out that it is just a CLASSPATH issue when using jConsole from the latest SUN JVM:

a) Working for connect string starting with 'service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/iiop://...' only.
set JAVA_HOME=D:\SUN_jdk1.6.0_13
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
jconsole -J-Djava.class.path=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\jconsole.jar;%bea_home%\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\wljmxclient.jar

b) Working for connect string starting with 'service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/iiop://...' and 'service:jmx:iiop:///jndi/iiop://...' .

set JAVA_HOME=D:\SUN_jdk1.6.0_13
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
jconsole -J-Djava.class.path=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\jconsole.jar;%bea_home%\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\weblogic.jar

NOTE: The RMI or IIOP in the connect string!

c) I tried the following URLs that worked fine:

* service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/iiop://localhost:7001/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime

* service:jmx:iiop:///jndi/iiop://localhost:7001/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime

* service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/iiop://localhost:7001/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.domainruntime

* service:jmx:iiop:///jndi/iiop://localhost:7001/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.domainruntime

2. In addition, the parameter -J-Djmx.remote.proto.provider.pkgs=weblogic.management.remote can be set if the current version of the JVM has any issue:

jconsole -J-Djava.class.path=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\jconsole.jar;%bea_home%\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\wljmxclient.jar -J-Djmx.remote.proto.provider.pkgs=weblogic.management.remote

I hope this helps a bit!
