Assuming `doc` is your instance of `org.w3c.dom.Document`:

	TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
	Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer();
	transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, &quot;yes&quot;);
	StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
	transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(writer));
	String output = writer.getBuffer().toString().replaceAll(&quot;\n|\r&quot;, &quot;&quot;);


Use the Apache XMLSerializer

here&#39;s an example:
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=31349&amp;seqNum=3&amp;rl=1

you can check this as well

http://www.netomatix.com/XmlFileToString.aspx



First you need to get rid of all newline characters in all your text nodes. Then you can use an identity transform to output your DOM tree. Look at the javadoc for `TransformerFactory#newTransformer()`.

Is there a method to check if given path is full path? Right now im doing this:

    if (template.Contains(&quot;:\\&quot;)) //full path already given
    {
    }
    else //calculate the path from local assembly
    {
    }

But there must be more elegant way for checking this?

What is the best way to remove an item from a dictionary by value, i.e. when the item&#39;s key is unknown?  Here&#39;s a simple approach:

    for key, item in some_dict.items():
        if item is item_to_remove:
            del some_dict[key]

Are there better ways?  Is there anything wrong with mutating (deleting items) from the dictionary while iterating it?

What&#39;s the simplest way to get the String representation of a XML Document (`org.w3c.dom.Document`)? That is all nodes will be on a single line.

As an example, from

    &lt;root&gt;
      &lt;a&gt;trge&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;b&gt;156&lt;/b&gt;
    &lt;/root&gt;

(this is only a tree representation, in my code it&#39;s a `org.w3c.dom.Document` object, so I can&#39;t treat it as a String)

to

    &quot;&lt;root&gt; &lt;a&gt;trge&lt;/a&gt; &lt;b&gt;156&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/root&gt;&quot;

Thanks!

XML Document to String

What's the simplest way to get the String representation of a XML Document (<code>org.w3c.dom.Document</code>)? That is all nodes will be on a single line.
As an example, from

 &#x3C;a>trge&#x3C;/a>
 &#x3C;b>156&#x3C;/b>
&#x3C;/root>
</code></pre>
(this is only a tree representation, in my code it's a <code>org.w3c.dom.Document</code> object, so I can't treat it as a String)
to
<pre><code class="hljs language-php-template">"&#x3C;root> &#x3C;a>trge&#x3C;/a> &#x3C;b>156&#x3C;/b> &#x3C;/root>"

How can I use the below code to unmarshal a XML string an map it to the JAXB object below?


    JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(Person.class);
    Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
    Person person = (Person) unmarshaller.unmarshal(&quot;xml string here&quot;);


----------


    @XmlRootElement(name = &quot;Person&quot;)
    public class Person {
        @XmlElement(name = &quot;First-Name&quot;)
        String firstName;
        @XmlElement(name = &quot;Last-Name&quot;)
        String lastName;
        public String getFirstName() {
    		return firstName;
    	}
    	public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    		this.firstName = firstName;
    	}
    	public String getLastName() {
    		return lastName;
    	}
    	public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    		this.lastName = lastName;
    	}

There is a generic method that takes a class as parameter and I have problems stubbing it with Mockito. The method looks like this:

    public &lt;U extends Enum&lt;U&gt; &amp; Error, T extends ServiceResponse&lt;U&gt;&gt; T validate(
        Object target, Validator validator, Class&lt;T&gt; responseClass,
        Class&lt;U&gt; errorEnum);

It&#39;s god awful, at least to me... I could imagine living without it, but the rest of the code base happily uses it...

I was going to, in my unit test, stub this method to return a new empty object. But how do I do this with mockito? I tried:

    when(serviceValidatorStub.validate(
        any(), 
        isA(UserCommentRequestValidator.class), 
        UserCommentResponse.class, 
        UserCommentError.class)
    ).thenReturn(new UserCommentResponse());

but since I am mixing and matching matchers and raw values, I get &quot;org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.InvalidUseOfMatchersException: Invalid use of argument matchers!&quot;

Stubbing a method that takes Class&lt;T&gt; as parameter with Mockito

I have something like:

    String text = &quot;The user {0} has email address {1}.&quot;
    // params = { &quot;Robert&quot;, &quot;myemailaddr@gmail.com&quot; }
    String msg = MessageFormat.format(text, params);

This isn&#39;t great for me, because sometimes my translators are not sure what goes in the {0} and {1}, also it would be nice to be able to reword the messages without worrying about the order of the args.

I&#39;d like to replace the arguments with readable names instead of numbers.  Something like this:

    String text = &quot;The user {USERNAME} has email address {EMAILADDRESS}.&quot;
    // Map map = new HashMap( ... [USERNAME=&quot;Robert&quot;, EMAILADDRESS=&quot;myemailaddr@gmail.com&quot;]
    String msg = MessageFormat.format(text, map);

Is there an easy way to do this?  

Thanks!

I have a dynamic-web project set up on Eclipse and I&#39;m using Tomcat 7 as my web server.  It doesn&#39;t seem to be automatically putting 3rd party JARs I add to my library on my build path into the WEB-INF/lib folder.  Is there a way I can do this automatically?  Every time I search for an answer to this, I find something like &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2890183/including-java-libraries-to-tomcat-inside-eclipse&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;.

1. **Until what point in time does JSF save the state of UI components on the server side &amp; when exactly is the UI component&#39;s state information removed** from the server memory? As a logged-in user on the application navigates though pages, will the state of components keep on accumulating on the server?

2. I don&#39;t understand **what is the benefit of keeping UI components state on server !?** Isn&#39;t directly passing the validated/converted data to managed beans enough? Can I or should I try to avoid it? 

3. Doesn&#39;t that consume *too much* memory on the server side, if there are thousands of concurrent user sessions? I have an application where users can post blogs on certain topics. This blogs are quite large in size. When there will be post back or request for viewing the blogs, **will this big page data be saved as a part of the state of components?**  This would eat up too much memory. Isn&#39;t this a concern ?

---------

Update 1:
===
Now, it is no longer necessary to save state while using JSF. A high performance Stateless JSF implementation is available for use. See this [blog][1] &amp; [this question][2] for relevant details &amp; discussion. Also, there is an open [issue][3] to include in JSF specs, an option to provide stateless mode for JSF. 
(P.S. Consider voting for the issues [this][3] &amp; [this][4] if this is a useful feature for you.)

&lt;br/&gt;

Update 2 (24-02-2013):
==
A great news that **Mojarra 2.1.19** is out with **stateless mode**!

I am trying to import it in MySQL using SQL statement : 

    use databasename;
    LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE &#39;/pathtofile/file.xml&#39; INTO TABLE my_tablename;

The table my_tablename has the following fields : 

    id (auto increment id)
    personal_number(varchar)
    firstname(varchar) 
    lastname(varchar)
    email(varchar) 
    start_time(varchar)
    end_time(varchar)
    employee_category(varchar)

I get error : 
Error Code: 1136
Column count doesn&#39;t match value count at row 1

I am using MySQL 5.1.56

I assume this error occurs because the database table has field id, which is not present in the XML file. How is it possible to import this XML file using MySQL queries of built in functions such that it skips id column during the import and relies on the auto increment function for the id column?
Is there some smarter way of handling XML file imports im MySQL?
Maybe there is better statement which allows to specify column mapping?

Thank you!

How do I remove a character from a string?  

If I have the string `&quot;abcdef&quot;` and I want to remove `&quot;b&quot;` how do I do that?

Removing the **first** character is easy with this code:

    #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
    #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
    #include &lt;string.h&gt;

    int main()
    {
       char word[] = &quot;abcdef&quot;;
       char word2[10];
   
       strcpy(word2,&amp;word[1]);
   
       printf(&quot;%s\n&quot;, word2);
     
       return 0;
    }

and

    strncpy(word2,word,strlen(word)-1);

will give me the string without the **last** character, but I still didn&#39;t figure out how to remove a char in the **middle** of a string.

Is there an easy way to test a Python string &quot;xxxxABCDyyyy&quot; to see if &quot;ABCD&quot; is contained within it?




Test a string for a substring

What I want to do is take a string such as `&quot;this.those.that&quot;` and get a substring to or from the nth occurrence of a character. So, from the start of the string to the 2nd occurrence of `.` would return `&quot;this.those&quot;`. Likewise, from the 2nd occurrence of `.` to the end of the string would return `&quot;that&quot;`. Sorry if my question is foggy, it&#39;s not that easy to explain. Also, please do not suggest making extra variables, and the result will be in a string and not an array.

What&#39;s the easiest way to determine an elements position relative to the document/body/browser window? 

Right now I&#39;m using `.offsetLeft/offsetTop`, but this method only gives you the position relative to the parent element, so you need to determine how many parents to the body element, to know the position relaltive to the body/browser window/document position. 

This method is also to cumbersome.

I have set up a [live demo][1] for reference. I will also print the code on here as well:

    &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
    &lt;html&gt;
    &lt;head&gt;
        &lt;script&gt;
        var getRandomID = function (size) {
                var str = &quot;&quot;,
                    i = 0,
                    chars = &quot;0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqurstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQURSTUVWXYZ&quot;;
                while (i &lt; size) {
                    str += chars.substr(Math.floor(Math.random() * 62), 1);
                    i++;
                }
                return str;
            },
            isNull = function (element) {
                var randomID = getRandomID(12),
                    savedID = (element.id)? element.id : null;
                element.id = randomID;
                var foundElm = document.getElementById(randomID);
                element.removeAttribute(&#39;id&#39;);
                if (savedID !== null) {
                    element.id = savedID;
                }
                return (foundElm) ? false : true;
            };
        window.onload = function () {
            var image = document.getElementById(&quot;demo&quot;);
            console.log(&#39;undefined&#39;, (typeof image === &#39;undefined&#39;) ? true : false); // false
            console.log(&#39;null&#39;, (image === null) ? true : false); // false
            console.log(&#39;find-by-id&#39;, isNull(image)); // false
            image.parentNode.removeChild(image);
            console.log(&#39;undefined&#39;, (typeof image === &#39;undefined&#39;) ? true : false); // false ~ should be true?
            console.log(&#39;null&#39;, (image === null) ? true : false); // false ~ should be true?
            console.log(&#39;find-by-id&#39;, isNull(image)); // true ~ correct but there must be a better way than this?
        };
        &lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;/head&gt;
    &lt;body&gt;
        &lt;div id=&quot;demo&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
    &lt;/html&gt;

Basically the above code demonstrates an element being stored into a variable and then removed from the DOM. Even though the element has been removed from the DOM, the variable retains the element as it was when first declared. In other words, it is not a live reference to the element itself, but rather a replica. As a result, checking the variable&#39;s value (the element) for existence will provide an unexpected result.

The `isNull` function is my attempt to check for an elements existence from a variable, and it works, but I would like to know if there is an easier way to accomplish the same result.
