I want to show every book and its information that has a publish date after 2005. and the price is bigger than 10. This is my Java code:
package xml;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPath;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathConstants;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpression;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpressionException;
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws XPathExpressionException, FileNotFoundException {
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xPath = factory.newXPath();
XPathExpression xPathExpression = xPath.compile("catalog/book[publish_date>2005]/price | catalog/book[price>10]/price");
File xmlDocument = new File("Books.xml");
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new FileInputStream(xmlDocument));
Object result = xPathExpression.evaluate(inputSource, XPathConstants.NODESET);
NodeList nodeList = (NodeList)result;
for (int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) {
System.out.println("Info: " + nodeList.item(i).getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
}
}
}
Adding Lorem ipsum so the question can post: Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
You almost have it right. The problem is that, according the specification, a numeric comparison ( <
or >
) requires implicitly converting each operand to a number. A node's text content is only a valid number if it consists entirely of ASCII digits, with an optional leading minus, optional period, and optional surrounding whitespace.
A date like 2002-12-16
obviously does not qualify. However, you can turn that into a string that can be implicitly converted into a number, using substring-before :
XPathExpression xPathExpression = xPath.compile(
"catalog/book[substring-before(publish_date,'-')>2005 and price>10]/price");
Take advantage of the XML date format and do a string comparison there, annd combine your conditions
/catalog/book[(publish_date > '2005') and (number(price) > 10)]
And thus
XPathExpression xPathExpression = xPath.compile("/catalog/book[(publish_date > '2005') and (number(price) > 10)]");
NodeList bookNodes = (NodeList)xPathExpression.evaluate(inputSource, XPathConstants.NODESET);
for (int i = 0; i < bookNodes.getLength(); i++) {
Element bookElement = bookNodes.item(i);
System.out.println("Author: " + bookElement.getElementsByTagName("author").item(0).getNodeValue());
}
You'll need to add the remaining, necessary tags. Also, if you book elements might no all contain all expected node, you'll need to check the collection returned by getElementsByTagName()
