EDI to XML Huge file conversions


I am converting an EDI file to XML. However my input file which happens to also be in BIF is approximately 100Mb is giving me a JAVA out of memory error.

I tried to consult Smook's Documentation for the huge file conversion, however it is a conversion from XML to EDI.

Below is the response I am getting when running my main

I edited this line in the code to reflect the usage of a stream :-

smooks.filterSource(executionContext, new StreamSource(new FileInputStream("/home/***/Downloads/sample-text-file.txt")), result);

However I now have this below as error. Anybody any guess what is the best approach ?

Solution

  • The message was valid and the xml mapping was good. I was just not using the optimal method for message reading and writing.

    I came to realize the filterSource method of Smooks can directly be fed with an InputStream & OutputStream as variables. Kindly find below the piece of code that led to an efficient running of the program without going through JAVA memory error.

    //Instantiate a FileInputStream
    FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(inputFileName);
    
    //Instantiate an FileOutputStream
    FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(outputFileName);
    
    
    try {    
    
      // Filter the input message to the outputWriter...
      smooks.filterSource(new StreamSource(inputStream), new StreamResult(outputStream));
    
      Locale.setDefault(defaultLocale);
    
    } finally {
      smooks.close();
      inputStream.close();
      outputStream.close();
    }
    

    Thanks to the community.

    Regards.
