If anyone of you have sample coding please share with me.
Your suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

what code have you written so far, and what does/should it produce as output?

Inside source packages are some examples.
Download the sources and docs - read them.

Good evening everybody,
Here is my code to convert a table html xml:
import org.htmlparser.*;
import org.htmlparser.util.*;
import org.htmlparser.filters.*;
import java.io.*;
import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.output.*;
public class testParser5
{
static String[][] matrice=new String[3][5];
String[][] matrice2=new String[3][4];
static int i=0,j=0,ligne,td;
static Element racine = new Element("Table");
static org.jdom.Document document = new Document(racine);
public static void displayTree(Node n)
{
if (n instanceof Tag)
{
Tag t = (Tag)n;
if (t.getTagName().equals("TR"))
{
System.out.println("\n-------------------------------------------------------");
ligne++;
}
else if (t.getTagName().equals("TD"))
{
if(j>4){j=0;i++;}
matrice[i][j++]=t.toPlainTextString();
System.out.print(t.toPlainTextString() + "|");
td++;
}
}
if (n.getChildren() != null)
for (int i = 0; i < n.getChildren().size(); i++)
displayTree(n.getChildren().elementAt(i));
}
static void affiche()
{
try
{
//On utilise ici un affichage classique avec getPrettyFormat()
XMLOutputter sortie = new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat());
sortie.output(document, System.out);
}
catch (java.io.IOException e){}
}
static void enregistre(String fichier)
{
try
{
//On utilise ici un affichage classique avec getPrettyFormat()
XMLOutputter sortie = new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat());
//Remarquez qu'il suffit simplement de créer une instance de FileOutputStream
//avec en argument le nom du fichier pour effectuer la sérialisation.
sortie.output(document, new FileOutputStream(fichier));
}
catch (java.io.IOException e){}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
Parser parser = new Parser ("file:C:\\fichier.html");
NodeList list = new NodeList ();
NodeFilter filter = new TagNameFilter ("TABLE");
for (NodeIterator e = parser.elements (); e.hasMoreNodes ();)
{
e.nextNode().collectInto(list, filter);
}
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
{
//System.out.println("=============================");
Node table = list.elementAt(i);
displayTree(table);
}
int colonne=td/ligne;
for (int i = 0; i < ligne; i++)
{
for (int z = 0; z < colonne; z++){
//System.out.print(" "+matrice[i][z]);
}
System.out.println();
}
for(int j=0;j<ligne-1;j++){
//Element racine = new Element("Racine");
Element etudiant = new Element("etudiant");
racine.addContent(etudiant);
for (int z = 0; z < colonne; z++){
Element nom = new Element(matrice[0][z]);
nom.setText(matrice[j+1][z]);
etudiant.addContent(nom);
}
}
affiche();
enregistre("out.xml");
}
catch(ParserException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}But the problem is that this code will work only if the html file conteint a single table. I want it to work for all cases.
The problem is how to put each table in a html template that I can then convert to xml.
I have another code that allows all aaficher html tables but not convert them into xml
import org.htmlparser.*;
import org.htmlparser.filters.*;
import org.htmlparser.util.*;
import org.htmlparser.nodes.*;
public class SimpleParse4 {
static NodeList list;
static int k=0;
static int ligne=0,td=0;
public static void main (String [] args) {
String[][] matrice=new String[3][5];
String[][] matrice2=new String[3][4];
int p=0,j=0;
Parser parser = null;
NodeFilter filter = null;
try {
parser = new Parser ();
filter = new TagNameFilter ("TABLE");
parser.setResource ("file:C:\\exemple2.html");
list = parser.parse(filter);
System.out.println("Il existe:"+NombreTable()+" tables");
NodeIterator i = list.elements ();
while (i.hasMoreNodes ())
{
processMyNodes(i.nextNode ());
} }
catch (EncodingChangeException ece) {
}
catch (ParserException e) {
e.printStackTrace ();
}
}
static int NombreTable(){
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)k++;
return k;
}
static void processMyNodes (Node node) throws ParserException {
if (node instanceof TagNode)
{
TagNode tag = (TagNode)node;
System.out.print(tag.toPlainTextString()+"-----------------------------");
}
}
}also the same problem: how can I count the number of rows and columns for each table so that I could build my arrays.
I know that my message is very long, I just wanted to be clear because it's been 40 days that seeks a solution to this problem.
and thanks for taking the trouble to read my message.

Sounds like a pure transformations' job. Are you supposed to use Java only? If not this is a job for XSLT.
If you're forced integrate into java, you can make the transformation an ANT task and use the Java ANT runner.

XSTL works on XML; web pages which don't comply to the XHTML specification (almost all of them out there) don't have a valid XML markup. XSTL won't help if what you need to do is convert broken markup (html) to XML.
