Error message -The prefix "atom" for element "atom:cc" is not bound

[Vijayraj Chauhan]

Hi,

I am trying to fetch the contacts of the user who have an account in google apps marketplace. While fetching the contact i get the following error

 com.google.gdata.util.ParseException: The prefix "atom" for element "atom:cc" is not bound.      at com.google.gdata.util.XmlParser.parse(XmlParser.java:695)|
      at com.google.gdata.util.XmlParser.parse(XmlParser.java:568)|

      at com.google.gdata.wireformats.input.XmlInputParser.parse(XmlInputParser.java:52)|...
I get this error only for a particular user in that domain. It works fine when i try to fetch the contacts for other users in that same domain.
I have searched in the forum, but it seems no one have posted about this issue. Kindly help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Vijayraj

Hello Vijayraj,

Can you try printing the XML value of the contact? You might have to use raw HTTP access or debug features of the client library in order to have access to this information.

There might be a value that breaks the XML parser used by the client library.

Best,

Alain

Hi Alain,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you please tell me how to get the XML format of the contact. We are using 2 Legged OAuth java client library and this is the line where we are getting the error mentioned earlier

      ContactFeed  resultFeed = conService.getFeed(feedUrl, ContactFeed.class)

where feedUrl ="https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?xoauth_requestor_id=logi...@abcd.com"

Thanks,

Vijayraj

Hello Vijayraj,

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you! You can see an example of how to set a logger in ContactsExample.java
You can add the query parameter "prettyprint=true" to have the Atom prettyprinted.

I hope this helps!

Best,

Alain

[Vijayraj Chauhan]

Hi Alain,

I have mailed you the XML format of the contact privately.

Have a look at it and do let us know the problem.

Thanks,

Vijayraj

I've come across the same issue - unfortunately I just have the exception as the contacts data is privately owned by our customer:

Hi Alain,  Any way you could help with this one? I tried using the
newer 1.46.0 version libs and that does not make
any difference. Thanks

[Alexey Panteleev]

Vijayraj, Daniel,

Has this issue been resolved for you?

Thanks,
Aleey

[Vijayraj Chauhan]

Hi Aleey,

This is the response Daniel gave me...

 May be one of your contact has a gd:extendedProperty set to:

<atom:cc xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'>0</atom:cc>

According to the documentation, a contact should be able to have arbitrary XML data in an extendedProperty element. Unfortunately, it appears that the Java GData client library is unable to parse the XML.

What I would suggest, if you don't need this element, is to delete it from your contact. However, using the Java client library won't work as it is unable to parse the entry.

You should try using raw HTTP to delete this element; one tool you could use is OAuth Playground:

1. Select "Contacts" as scope
2. Click on "Request Token"
3. Click on "Authorize"
4. You will be redirected to a Google page to grant access, please grant access
5. Click on "Access token"
6. Set the GData-Version to 3.0
7. In the "Enter a feed URI" text box, enter the contact's edit URL
8. Click on "execute"
9. The API should return the contact's XML
10. Copy the contact's XML in your clipboard and click on "enter post data"
11. Paste the contact's XML in the textbox that appeared and removed the extended property that contains the "un-parsable" XML
12. Change the request to "PUT" (instead of "GET") and click on "execute"
13. The API should return the contact's XML with an 200 HTTP status code

If that is still not possible, please feel free to file a bug against the Java GData client library project page or try to use an other client library (Python or .NET).

Thanks

Vijayraj

thanks Vijayraj

Hi Daniel,

Is there any other work around for this issue other than deleting and adding the contact back???.....Its a very tedious job when you face this issue for more than 200 contacts....More over setting the logger does not print all the contacts(having this issue) at once..Can you pls help??

TIA,

Vijayraj
