Error creating XML using in house REST server

[hunterhector]

I am running the in-house RESTful server.

Using dbpeidia spotlight 1.0.0 [1] and model 2016-10 [2].

The server can do annotation most of the time, but sometimes throws:

org.dbpedia.spotlight.exceptions.OutputException: Error creating XML output.Error creating XML output.org.dbpedia.spotlight.web.rest.OutputManager.makeXML(OutputManager.java:108)

One minimum test case to reproduce the error is:

curl http://localhost:2222/en/rest/annotate --data-urlencode "text=Crimean peninsula Black Sea" -H "Accept: application/json"

Interestingly, querying the public dbpedia end point is totally fine:

curl http://api.dbpedia-spotlight.org/en/annotate --data-urlencode "text=Crimean peninsula Black Sea" -H "Accept: application/json"

Hi @hunterhector ,

Just remove /en from your URL

E.g:

curl http://localhost:2222/rest/annotate --data-urlencode "text=Crimean peninsula Black Sea" -H "Accept: application/json"

Best,

[hunterhector]

In fact, that is not what I mean. The URL I am using is correct.

Since I started the server with: java -jar dbpedia-spotlight-1.0.0.jar /data/hector/dbpedia/en http://localhost:2222/en/rest

And the link works with the following command: curl http://localhost:2222/en/rest/annotate --data-urlencode "text=Crimean peninsula" -H "Accept: application/json"

But does not work with the following: curl http://localhost:2222/en/rest/annotate --data-urlencode "text=Crimean peninsula Black Sea" -H "Accept: application/json"

Some of the stack trace:

org.dbpedia.spotlight.exceptions.OutputException: Error creating XML output.Error creating XML output.org.dbpedia.spotlight.web.rest.OutputManager.makeXML(OutputManager.java:108) org.dbpedia.spotlight.web.rest.SpotlightInterface.getXML(SpotlightInterface.java:250) org.dbpedia.spotlight.web.rest.SpotlightInterface.getJSON(SpotlightInterface.java:328) org.dbpedia.spotlight.web.rest.resources.Annotate.getJSON(Annotate.java:172) org.dbpedia.spotlight.web.rest.resources.Annotate.postJSON(Annotate.java:275) sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor15.invoke(Unknown Source) sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)

It seems there is something funny happening in converting the output to XML here. However, both the test cases work for the public rest API, which is making me even confusing.

Spotlight ApplicationPath does not come from the command line parameter as declared here.

If you want to change the path with the current version, I advise you put it behind an Apache / Nginx

Hi, Sandro,

Thanks for the quick reply. However, I still find the problem not related to the application path.

I restarted the server as

java -jar dbpedia-spotlight-1.0.0.jar /data/hector/dbpedia/en http://localhost:2222/rest

And then I do the following query:

curl http://localhost:2222/rest/annotate --data-urlencode "text=Crimean peninsula Black Sea" -H "Accept: application/json"

, which gives me the same XML error, here is the full stack trace:

Note that, the following query is fine (no matter which application path I am using):

curl http://localhost:2222/rest/annotate --data-urlencode "text=Crimean peninsula" -H "Accept: application/json"

I'm also experiencing this issue with query: Mediterranean Sea

[agill3]

Me too. Any hint since the last post?
