similar to: Why does REXML run significantly slower in Rails

Got a question hopefully someone can answer - I am working on functionality to match on certain nodes of a largish (65mb) xml file. I implemented this with REXML and was 2 minutes and counting before I killed the process. After this, I just opened the console and loaded the file into a string and did a regex search for my data -- the result was almost instantaneous. The question is, if I can get

Has anyone seen the below error before? It appears to only occur when Puppet runs automatically (i.e. a "puppetd --test" doesn''t cause it). I have recently installed new Ruby rpms on the server and I''m guessing that I may have left out something when I built the RPMS (based on FC7 SRPM). > -----Original Message----- > From: report@melrhweb1.nmh-au

Hi, I need to do some screen scraping and I''ve spent a couple hour getting htmltools and rexml do the right thing. Here''s the code: parser = HTMLTree::Parser.new(false, false) parser.feed(res.body) tree = parser.tree.html_node.as_rexml_document I works for one page, but for another I get "undefined method `add'' for #<HTMLTree::Element:0x37f9cc8>" in

I''m really new to Ruby on Rails, and I''m trying to read an XML file with REXML. No matter what I try, I am only getting the last result returned from my query. I should be getting 365 results. Here is the code: include REXML require ''rexml/document'' require ''rexml/xpath'' class MakeFootprintController < ApplicationController def index

Hi, Running: Ruby 1.8.7 p72, RSpec 1.1.12 and rcov 0.8.1.2.0, I get the following error message with $ rake spec:rcov -- /usr/local/ruby1.8.7//lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/formatters/pretty.rb:131:in `[]'': no implicit conversion from nil to integer (TypeError) from /usr/local/ruby1.8.7//lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/formatters/pretty.rb:131:in `wrap'' from

Hi all. I''m having trouble getting REXML to play nicely with an RSS feed that uses an encoding type called WINDOWS-1250. My application works when I comment out the references to the lines that utilize the REXML library. After visiting my app and being told that Rails could not start properly, my server.log file says: FastCGI: comm with server

I wrote a rexml script that parses rather big xml files (DOM parsing) and builds an object out of them. This is what it looks like after i parse the xml file and display the object: [#<Article:0xb79e7428 @brand="This is a story from ", @id=5337, @fblurb="burb", @ntype="news type here", @copy="Copyright \302\251 2006 ", @source="source",

Hi, I have an application that receives XML files, and then hands each one off to a backgroundrb worker to parse and store the info. Everything was working, until I needed to support a larger character set. So I added the following to the top of my XML files: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> Adding this worked fine when I tested it without using

I have this field in my app where a logged in user can enter a comment, but when I click on the link bringing me to that page I get the following error message: undefined method `table_name'' for REXML::Comment:Class I am doing some encrypting that has an ''include REXML'' statement but when I comment that out I still get this error. Does anyone know where this is coming

Why can it not find my object? What am i missing here? Here is my code: require ''rexml/document'' include REXML # classes to represent the objects and relationships in the xml file class Article attr_accessor :id, :post, :archive, :ntype, :head, :blurb, :body, :fblurb, :fimage, :att, :source, :copy, :brand end # the base parser class BaseXMLParser def initialize(filename)

since http://nqxml.sourceforge.net/ also recommends that we switch to use rexml which is shipped with ruby? If there are plans for it but no developers, I might take it up as an exercise to learn the internals of wxruby-swig. Cheers, Phuah Yee Keat

Hello Everybody, I have pretty basic question abut REXML. I want to put the String "John doe" in titles array, if attribute name is equal to "93". Please see the code below.

Not really a solution, but this has to be a classic example of PHP- programmer-bass-ackwardness. They''re already writing to an extensible serialization format (XML) but then just whack language-specific serialized data in instead. That''s right up there with the HTTP-over- SOAP-over-HTTP stuff I''ve seen floating around... --Matt Jones On Sep 24, 9:14 am, Andy

Hi all, I''ve been looking at the performance of my fb app and one glaring issue seems to be with the parsing speed of rexml in processing the results. Has anyone looked into porting the facebooker parser from rexml to libxml? If not, any reason I shouldn''t try? Thanks!
