HttpConnection API  API for processing the URL: http – protocol – server search?hl=en&q=java – file hl=en&q=java – query string

HttpConnection API  API for processing the URL: String url = “ HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url); hc.getURL() -- “ hc.getProtocol() -– “http” hc.getHost() –- “ hc.getPort() hc.getFile() –- “search?hl=en&q=java” hc.getQuery() – “hl=en&q=java”

HttpConnection API  Response Codes ( ) Successful Request 2xx 200 OK (HTTP_OK)-- the request has succeeded Client Error 4xx 403 Forbidden (HTTP_FORBIDDEN) -- server is refusing to fulfill the request 404 Not Found (HTTP_NOT_FOUND)-- server has not found a matching URI Server Error 5xx 500 Internal Server Error (HTTP_INTERNAL_ERROR) -- unexpected error on server 503 Service Unavailable (HTTP_UNAVAILABLE) -- server currently unable to handle request due to temporary overloading or maintenance

HttpConnection API  Reading and image through Http connection String url = “ 1. create a connection to the url 2. obtain a data input stream from the connection 3. check the length of the content 3.1 if length > 0: read whole image at once else: read image in chunks until nothing read 4. close the connection

XML EXtensible Markup Language  Markup language similar to HTML  Not a replacement for HTML  Designed to represent structured data  No predefined tags – you create your own  Simplifies data sharing and data transport

XML Example Everyday Italian Giada De Laurentiis

XML Example  Representation of Book ( ) Everyday Italian Giada De Laurentiis  You decide on the tags,,,,  Tags must be nested properly  Tags are case sensitive

XML Example  Tags, attributes, values Everyday Italian Giada De Laurentiis book – the tag category – attribute “COOKING” – value for attribute category (can have multiple attributes per tag)

XML Example Everyday Italian Giada De Laurentiis Harry Potter J K. Rowling Learning XML Erik T. Ray (

XML Parsing  SAX Parser (Simple Api for XML) ( )  SAX Parser is a “push parser” runs through entire document and triggers events on tokens  Selected methods void parse(InputSource is, DefaultHandler dh) parses the input stream and notifies the handler when tokens are discovered to handle tokens must create our own Handler class that extends DefaultHandler

XML Parsing  DefaultHandler – process tokens discovered by parser  Selected Methods // implement to handle beginning and end of document void startDocument() void endDocument() // override to handle discovery and end tags void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)

XML Parsing  Attributes class – retrieve information about the tag’s attributes  Can extract information based on attribute index or name  Selected methods void getLength() – number of attributes String getQName(int index) – get the attribute’s name by index String getQValue(int index) – get attribute’s value by index String getQValue(String qName) – get attribute’s value by its name

XML Parsing  Using the SAX Parser HttpConnection hc = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url); DataInputStream is = conn.openDataInputStream(); DefaultHandler dh = new MyHandler(); SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); SAXParser parser = spf.newSAXParser(); parser.parse(is, dh);
