Parsing HTML tags into XML
Question
I'm trying to parse XML that's embedded in the HTML file below. Here's the detail from one of the tags:
DOM<tr class="iris_table_row">
<td style=" width:37.50%; text-align:left; " class="ta_10"><span class="ta_10">Tangible assets</span></td>
<td style=" width:2.50%; text-align:right; " class="ta_10"><span class="ta_10">2</span></td>
<td style=" width:30.00%; text-align:right; " class="ta_61"><ix:nonFraction contextRef="cfwd_31_03_2014" name="ns5:TangibleFixedAssets" unitRef="GBP" decimals="0" format="ixt2:numdotdecimal" scale="0" xmlns:ix="http://www.xbrl.org/2008/inlineXBRL">7,956</ix:nonFraction></td>
<td style=" width:1.25%; " class="ta_61" />
<td style=" width:26.25%; text-align:right; " class="ta_60"><ix:nonFraction contextRef="cfwd_31_03_2013" name="ns5:TangibleFixedAssets" unitRef="GBP" decimals="0" format="ixt2:numdotdecimal" scale="0" xmlns:ix="http://www.xbrl.org/2008/inlineXBRL">5,402</ix:nonFraction></td>
<td style=" width:1.25%; " class="ta_60" />
<td style=" width:1.25%; " class="ta_10" />
</tr>
I've tried using a DOM parser in java to do this but it doesn't recognize the XML tags.
The value of db.parse(fXmlFile) in the code below is "null".
File fXmlFile = new File("Prod223_1254_04903825_20140331 copy.xml");
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setValidating(false);
dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
dbf.setIgnoringComments(false);
dbf.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(false);
dbf.setExpandEntityReferences(false);
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
System.out.println(db.parse(fXmlFile));
How can I get the all the tags and information into java? Ideally I'd be able to load them into a bean.
Here is an example of the type of file I'm trying to parse.

I think you need a two step approach.
- Use a HTML parser to get to the embedded XML in question
- ...then use the DOM parser on the content
HTML is not always XML compliant (unless you're using XHTML which has become less fashionable). Browsers let lots of things slip like missing tags, single vs double quotes, attributes without values etc, this is probably why your site fails to parse.
Many are available.

According to the documentation, DTD validation always takes place , even when you tell it not to!
What you want to do is to create a new DTD that adds your namespace to the standard XHTML DTD; the W3 site discusses how to acheive this , and the example they give is for MathML:
First, define a content model module that instantiates the MathML DTD and connects it to the content model:
<!-- File: mathml-model.mod -->
<!ENTITY % XHTML1-math
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd" >
%XHTML1-math;
<!ENTITY % Inlspecial.extra
"%a.qname; | %img.qname; | %object.qname; | %map.qname;
| %Mathml.Math.qname;" >
Next, define a DTD driver that identifies our new content model module as the content model for the DTD, and hands off processing to the XHTML 1.1 driver (for example):
<!-- File: xhtml-mathml.dtd -->
<!ENTITY % xhtml-model.mod
SYSTEM "mathml-model.mod" >
<!ENTITY % xhtml11.dtd
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd" >
%xhtml11.dtd;
