[jdom-interest] How to find document size

[Jasmin_Mehta at nexweb.org]

I do not want to get any io done while I am creating xml document from one 
database and sending it to other after processing it on the fly. This will 
be batch process and can have huge amount of records while executing batch 
each time. 

I need to know the xml document size as it is when it comes out from 
Oracle's 'XMLTYPE' datatype. I am appending resultset records one after 
another in one xml document until it reaches certain size. For this 
purpose I need to know the size of 

the algorithm - something like:

1)      ArrayList finalXmlDocumentList = new ArrayList();

2)      org.jdom.Document  accumulatedXmlDoc = new Document();

3)
for (i = 0; i < newXmlDocs.size; i++)
{
        sizeOfDocument =  FIND SIZE OF accumulatedXmlDoc
 
        if (accumulatedXmlDoc is not sizeOfDocument )
        {
            accumulatedXmlDoc = accumulatedXmlDoc + newXmlDocs[i];   // 
here actual jdom api is used to concet 2 xml docs.
        }
        else
        {
            finalXmlDocumentList .add(accumulatedXmlDoc ); 
            accumulatedXmlDoc  = new  Document();
            accumulatedXmlDoc = accumulatedXmlDoc + newXmlDocs[i]; // here 
actual jdom api is used to concet 2 xml docs.
        }
}

4)      use finalXmlDocumentList  further


I would like to know the size for one-liner format XML. You mentioned 
about storeing in byte[], how woule I do that? Would it create performace 
issue?

Thanks
Jasmin

Hello.

The physical size of the file produced when outputting the document will 
vary depending on formatting ;pretty-format
takes more space than a one-liner, and encoding (UTF-8 encoding creates 
some double-byte characters).

The filesize will also depend on platform (windows/Linux) because of the 
varying representation of CRFL (especially with
pretty-print, since this generates a lot of linefeeds)

The only way to know exactly, is to actually write it to disk ans check 
size. A system-independent size can be obtained
by outputting to a byte[] and check for length of this.

You could also create the document with zero, one and two empty elements 
(all tags included, but no content) and take
the zero-one + the difference between 1 and 2 times the number of 
elements, and on-the-fly calculate the total length of
of each element's content and add it up as you go along. A lot of code, 
but if the elements are the same with different
content this should not be an awful lot of work.

Hi,

My requirement is to keep populating elements to one xml document object 
until it reaches to certain size. Which JDOM
API can help to find the size of create new XML  org.jdom.Document?

Thanks
Jasmin
