You are invoking

Document doc = db.parse(eventXml);

with eventXml apparently being a string of XML data.

However, the method DocumentBuilder.parse(String) expects a URI to load the XML from. That's why you get a MalformedURLException: Java tries to use your XML as an URI.

You want DocumentBuilder.parse(InputSource), or DocumentBuilder.parse(InputStream). The InputStream can be created from your String/StringBuffer using e.g.

new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlString))

(untested).

+1 Tested and it works. StringBufferInputStream is deprecated.

parse() doesn't take actual XML as a parameter, instead it takes URL to a document.

You should use
DocumentBuilder.parse(new StringBufferInputStream(eventXml));

(+1) .. as clearly written in the JavaDoc for DocumentBuilder#parse. If still in doubt, google for 'DocumentBuilder' and follow the first link.

StringBufferInputStream is deprecated. There is a better solution: stackoverflow.com/a/1706533/1851290

Searene Over a year ago

You can use new ByteArrayInputStream(eventXml.getBytes("utf-8")) to replace the deprecated StringBufferInputStream

Instead of db.parse(eventXml), try:

Document doc = db.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(eventXml)));

You have posted so much content but nothing that can help any reader to see what you were trying to do. If your problem is just that XML parsing is giving you a problem then check that your XML is well-formed.

This snippet should work.

private String updateMyXML(String orderXML) {
    javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new StringReader(orderXML));
}
