Summary: The xml-jaxp
quickstart demonstrates how to use Servlet and JSF to upload an XML file to WildFly and validate and parse it using DOM or SAX.
Target Product: WildFly
Source: https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/
The xml-jaxp
quickstart is a simple Java EE JAXP example that demonstrates how to use Servlet 3.0 and JSF to upload an XML file to WildFly Application Server and parse it using DOM or SAX, both of which are built into Java. It also shows how to use modules available in WildFly.
This quickstart provides an example XML schema and document file to use when testing this quickstart.
QUICKSTART_HOME/src/main/resources/catalog.xsd
QUICKSTART_HOME/src/main/resources/catalog.xml
The application this project produces is designed to be run on WildFly Application Server 11 or later.
All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.3.1 or later. See Configure Maven for WildFly 11 to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.
In the following instructions, replace WILDFLY_HOME
with the actual path to your WildFly installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of WILDFLY_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.
For Linux: WILDFLY_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
For Windows: WILDFLY_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
mvn clean install wildfly:deploy
This will deploy target/xml-jaxp.war
to the running instance of the server.
The application will be running at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/xml-jaxp/.
To test the quickstart, follow these steps.
Browse
button and navigate to the QUICKSTART_HOME/src/main/resources/catalog.xml
file.Upload
button. The XML file content is parsed and displayed on the page.INFO [stdout] (http-/127.0.0.1:8080-1) Parsing the document using the DOMXMLParser!
To enable the alternative SAXXMLParser parser:
WEB-INF/beans.xml
file.Browse
button and navigate to the QUICKSTART_HOME/src/main/resources/catalog.xml
file.Upload
button. The XML file content is parsed and displayed on the page.INFO [stdout] (http-/127.0.0.1:8080-1) Parsing the document using the SAXXMLParser!
mvn wildfly:undeploy
You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For general information about how to import a quickstart, add a WildFly server, and build and deploy a quickstart, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts.
If you want to debug the source code of any library in the project, run the following command to pull the source into your local repository. The IDE should then detect it.
mvn dependency:sources
