XMl error , dont get it
May 30^th, 2008, 1:00am

Hi all , im using nanoxml lite. i have created a code folder and extracted the 2 class files from nano into the approrpiate folder (nanoxml). I have been looking through the code and narrowed it down to this:

Code:


import processing.xml.*;


XMLElement xml;

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);


}

Yet still i recieve this error, im new to processing and obviously havent got the hang of using packages , can anyone help :

Code:



C:/Users/Nic/AppData/Local/Temp/build22136.tmp/Temporary_4041_2848.java:6:1:6:10: Semantic Error: Type "XMLElement" is imported on demand from package "processing.xml" and package "nanoxml".

btw im using vista...

I am trying to use this simple code

Code:


 	

import processing.xml.*;

XMLElement xml;

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);


  xml = new XMLElement(this, "http://armory.wow-europe.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Shadowsong&n=Prospect");
  
  int numSites = xml.getChildCount();
  println(numSites); // Prints "2"

}

to access that specified XML page, yet still recieve an error:

Code:



processing.xml.XMLParseException: XML Parse Exception during parsing of a html element at line 18: Expected: /

is this jut a problem with the way that the document is kayed out or is there a way around it?

thanks

Nic

I have used the view source function inside firefox to make a local version of that XML file. this works fine but i imagine somethign to do with the nature by which the file is generated has somethign to do with the fact it wont wokrk, whta do you all think ?

I tried using the full nanoxml version also but just ended up with the same error as before which turned out to be a contradiction between processing's built in version of nano and the installed nano.

This is the site, maybe somebody could have a look and let me know what they think?

FYI, in 0136, I get another exception (with the above code):
Code:

Nested Exception

at processing.xml.StdXMLParser.parse(StdXMLParser.java:204)

at processing.xml.XMLElement.parseFromReader(XMLElement.java:254)

at processing.xml.XMLElement.<init>(XMLElement.java:231)

at Temporary_8535_1807.setup(Temporary_8535_1807.java:9)

I downloaded the file (just right-click on the link you gave!) and validated it with the W3C service, it is valid XML.
