Contribute XML Issue

I am experiencing a problem with Contribute CS5 and the editing of XML files.
Previously in versions CS3 and CS4, browsing to an XML file and clicking "Edit Page" would bring up the code in an external editor where we could make our changes and then publish to the Web site. This happened seamlessly on both the Windows and Macintosh platforms using Notepad/TextEdit respectively.
We noticed the other day that no such editing is possible with CS5, where instead we receive an error or no feedback at all. On Windows the XML loads for viewing but clicking on Edit Page results in the following error:
"XML validation failed. This could be because your document has an invalid structure, or Contribute doesn't support the encoding mentioned in the XML. Contact your administrator for details."
On Macintosh the page comes up blank but clicking "Edit Page" gives the same pop-up error.
I used an XML validator to make sure that my code is correct, as as noted the same code worked fine in previous versions of Contribute. Is there a setting we can change or some preference that will help resolve the problem? If further information needed please let me know, otherwise thanks in advance for any help in finding a solution.

Thank you kindly. What we're trying to do is edit the left-hand navigation on a Web site which is written in XML. The Web site is the following:
http://www.sandiego.edu/dining/
The navigation file is accessible at the following URL, and was previously editable via Notepad/TextEdit (via Contribute) as noted in my earlier e-mail.
http://www.sandiego.edu/dining/subnav.xml
I believe Contribute uses a Safari engine which then explains why the XML code is not visible in Contribute CS5 on Macintosh. On Windows it does come up, but then results in the XML validation error previously described. Please advise if there's anything you spot on your end, and likewise if any further clarification needed just let me know.

Contribute.xml flagged as vulnerability

Hi,
I have been asked by a customer to research a vulnerability that has been flagged by McAffee Secure on their website. They report that contribute.xml contains info that would be helpful to a hacker and to restrict access to that file. So my question is, can I simply put a password on that file? Will the software still work Ok? Has anyone else seen this error? I have tried searching the web and did not see anyhting relating directly to this issue.
My apologies if I am asking a dumb question or am in the wrong forum, but I am getting a little desperate at this point and I'm not really sure where to turn for the answer.
Thanks in advance for any help.....

@cdmweb - have you discovered a solution to this?
@ ADOBE TECH SUPPORT: When I called, you indicated that telephone support for Contribute 4 is not offered for this product and that I should create a ticket in the support forums. Here's another user with the exact same problem and he's waited OVER 2 MONTHS for an answer.
Every time I rename or remove this file, it gets recreated and I can't get rid of the problem for good. I've searched your support forums, searched 3rd party forums, search Google, called McAfee and called an Adobe dealer and nobody has an answer. This is a security vulnerabilty that your product creates, and I've got to believe that other larger clients have requested a fix to this problem. Can you please provide a way to solve this problem one and for all?

Idoc flatfile to IDOC xml issue with new PI7.11 module SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCFlat

Hi,
I am trying to develop a scenario as mentioned in the blog using the new module available in PI7.1,but I am getting this error
"Error: com.sap.conn.idoc.IDocMetaDataUnavailableException: (3) IDOC_ERROR_METADATA_UNAVAILABLE: The meta data for the IDoc type "ORDERS05" is unavailable."
I have made every configuration correct and IDOC meta data available in both SAP R3 and PI,but it is still complaning about the meta data does not exist.
Blog: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/13743%3Fpage%3Dlast%26x-order%3Ddate
did anybody face issue with the new module available "SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor",please help me or give me mre information why I am getting this meta data error.
Thank you,
Sri

Hi Sri,
To Convert IDOC Flat file into IDOC xml from the given blog, the IDOC flat file should be present in standard format like:
E2EDK01005                    0000047110815000000000001.........
E2EDKA1003                    0000047110815000000000002.........
E2EDKA1003                    0000047110815000000000003..........
E2EDKA1003                    0000047110815000000000004........
The Flat file have relationship as IDOC Number "000004711081500000" and segment sequence "0000001".
If your flat file is not in this formate so i don't think that module is able to convert into IDOC xml. and if your file is already in this format then it may be issue with destinations which are created in NWA.
Thanks

Castor XML issue

Hi,
i m using castor-1.0.3 for generating source code from xml schema.
i ve a complex schema n even have binding file too for class name conflicts.
The issue i m facing is when i run "
java org.exolab.castor.builder.SourceGenerator....." it gets hung after generating certain class files. it ll never proceed. i need to explicitly terminate after waiting for a long time..
I m stuck here as to what might be going wrong here..
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Lance

FYI:
I tried Castor. In my opinion, there's a much better solution BC4J. BC4J lets you read and write your objects to XML, using readXML and writeXML. It seems more mature than Castor.
If you are just reading and writing your object or collection of objects and hierarchy to file, then you only use readXML and writeXML.
With BC4J, you model you objects in BC4J, then BC4J allows you to create a DTD for these objects. So if you have inbound or outbound XML that you need to transform from/to, you can then use this DTD and the DTD/XML Schema of the other format to write a xslt transformation.
Another benefit, you can pass object hierarchies across a web service using writeXML on the client side and then readXML to repopulate the object hierarchy on the server side of the web service.

Hi,
This can happen in the following scenario:
In case you have created a connetion to
http://foo/foo1 and now you are tring
to create a new connection to
http://foo/ .
Contribute will just give an alert to the user and then
continue with connection
creation.

Deposit Advice XML Issue

Hello Gurus, I am having an issue with XML Deposit Advice and XML Check Writer. In our deductions, we have City Withheld and Head Tax Withheld. For some employees, the City Withheld is showing as '0' on the Deposit Advice Slip but '6.92' on the SOE. Though the Deposit Slip shows '0' for withheld under deductions, the Net Pay matches with that on the SOE. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Any help is highly appreciated.

Menus.xml issue when trying to launch Dreamweaver CS4

I have used Dreamweaver CS4 for many years on my Mac. I had a drive failure and have had to reload all of my applications from scratch as there seemed to be an issue with the Time Machine back up. Everything is working well apart from Dreamweaver CS4 which brings up an error message telling me to delete my menus.xml file and rename menus.bak to menus.xml which just doesn't work.
I have checked and this has been asked before but none of the previous answers that I could find will work for me. Any new ideas?

One issue appears to be that Dreamweaver has loaded the help and configurations files into a folder in applications rather than in application support. I do not have a Dreamweaver CS4 folder anywhere in applications support under my identity or than of the loacl admin.
You need to turn on your hidden folders to see it.

Dreamweaver/Contribute/CSS issues

Anyone run into issues when creating a site with Dreamweaver and an external CSS and having information edited in Contribute add in-line styles? It is a pain in the rear to continually go back and edit out the in-line styles when the purpose of using contribute is to free me up from that type of content editing.
Any advise would be wonderful.

E4X Xml issue

hi,
I am facing an intermittent issue with E4X.
I am trying to do following:
1. Get XML from web service in string format.
2. Replce \ using regular expression. Below is the code.
webResult = webResult.replace(/&/g, '');
webResult = webResult.replace(/&/g, '');
xmlResult = new XML(webResult.replace(/\\/g, ''));
3. The issue is XML tags/attributes are mispaced as below.
Input Xml (i.e. webResult) contains following line :
<SourceHeaderKey Source="CI" SourceCode="20" Key="708011233708011233258956002000" />
Replced with below string in E4X :
<SourceHeaderKey Source="CI" SourceCode="20" Key=""708011233708rceCode="20" Key="708011233708011233258970002000"/>
4. Key="708011233708011233258956002000" is correct, but in E4X it is Key=""708011233708rceCode="20" Key="708011233708011233258970002000"
Any known issues with E4X. I tried searching on web but could not find any.
Any help is greatly appreciated. PLease help.
Thanks,
Aditya

Hi Aditya,
You're asking this question in the wrong forum, this forum is for reporting issues with the forums themselves, not individual product support.
I think your best bet to get some help with this is over in the JavaScript forum on the asp.net site:
http://forums.asp.net/130.aspx/1?HTML+CSS+and+JavaScript
One note though, I did see that Firefox has completely dropped support for E4X:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/E4X/Processing_XML_with_E4X?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide%2FProcessing_XML_with_E4X
Good luck.

Contribute CS3 issues

Am a bit new to the Web publishing world, but am familiar
with the pc realm. I just installed Master Collection CS3 and was
playing with Contribute. I applied the CSS patch to Contribute.
Problems are:
1. a. If I connect to a local site, edit a page, publish, and
get another URL from the home pages, gtg
b. If I go to a remote site, do not connect, then go to
homepages url, gtg.
c. If I go to a remote site, connect, regardless of what
else I do, the remote site page will stay in the Contribute browser
page. If I get another URL from homepage, browser stays the same,
unless I hit edit, then selected site comes in. Once I discard or
publish, remote site page reappears. If I have pages in the page
windoe, I can get to those, but browser page reamins remote site.
Remote site page does have a flash video in it
2. When I preview in browser, (Firefox, updated), firefox
windows up, but it is blank, no matter local or remote site.
I am running XP pro SP2 completely updated, defragged and reg
cleaned. Only problem so far with programs except for CSS warning
appearing on Dreamweaver home page after I installed fix.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Joe

Hi Rads,
For problem 2, I was editing a page in Contribute, and wanted
to use the preview in browser function. When I did that, Firefox
came up with an empty page. I have since contacted Adobe on this,
and they recreated the problem. I changed to IE as default browser,
and preview works ok, so it looks like a Firefox issue.
The first problem is when I connect to a site that has a
flash movie, the homepage for that site stays in the contribute
browser window, even if I select a different site. This does not
happen if I do not connect to the flash site. I am doing some more
troubleshooting on this. It is not a CSS issues as I have reverted
to the pre CSS fix file

CWCLI and XML issue on RME 4.3

Hi All,
     On a Windows 2008 Server with SP1 running LMS 3.2, I have a script that creates IOS configuration files with the appropriate XML command file for use with the cwcli config import function. The XML file contains the following tags and values:
<payload>
<command>
   cwcli config import -u admin -p [Base64PWD] -device [DisplayName]
<arg>
   -f
</arg>
<arg-val>
   D:\Program Files\CSCOpx\tftpboot\[DisplayName].cfg.[ID]
</arg-val>
</command>
</payload>
When I execute the sample script to invoke the Servelet, as provided in the RME users guide, I get the information that the job is running:

<cwcli> INFO - Devices to be attempted in the job:
[DisplayName]
<cwcli> INFO - The job 5548 is created
Waiting for the job results ...
<cwcli> - Job Status: Job Succeeded
Successful Devices:
[DisplayName]
<cwcli> INFO - CM0107 Import the config file to PRIMARY Running Config on device successful CM0091 Check if the device prompt is available.
CM0089 Config archival successful for [DisplayName]
<cwcli> INFO - The transport mode used is TFTP
SUMMARY
========
        Successful: import

After this is where it gets weird! On the switch - having previously issued the command "term mon" - I see the following output displayed:
Apr 28 16:56:38: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by cw_2000_hq on vty2 (10.185.64.101)
Apr 28 16:56:46: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from tftp://[CWServer]/20110428165646943-[DeviceIP].cfg by console
and checking the device I see that no changes have taken place. Inspection of the file that was sent via TFTP to the device indicates why - it contains garbage:
   D:\Program Files\CSCOpx\tftpboot\[DisplayName].cfg.[ID]
end
The file I am specifying between the XML <arg-val> tags contains these commands:
interface FastEthernet0/21
switchport access vlan 2400
switchport mode access
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast
ip verify source
shutdown
end
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, please..?
Thanks,
SRGi

The documentation is wrong. Your payload should include the commands you want to deploy. So, use:
   cwcli config import -u admin -p [Base64PWD] -device [DisplayName]
   -f
interface FastEthernet0/21
switchport access vlan 2400
switchport mode access
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast
ip verify source
shutdown
end

Premiere CC to ProTools OMF/XML issues

XML and OMF audio timecode does not relink properly in external applications with my current Premiere CC / Mavericks configuration. Reverting to CS6 solves the issue described below...cannot say with certainty if previous CC versions solve the issue.
Exporting OMF's to our sound engineer do not relink properly in ProTools - I've tried every available method for OMF export (encapsulated, referenced, etc).
Exporting XMLs have a related issue - if an XML export is brought into another application (e.g. FCP 7) The audio region is correct but audio is not synced properly...it is pulling from incorrect timecode. This is externally recorded audio, recorded separately from source video. Video tracks are correctly synced.
I can get accurate XML's out of Audition. Reverting to CS6 via XML and exporting OMF from there is my current workaround.
Mac OSX 10.9.2
Premiere CC 7.2.2

Hi Andy,
Sorry this isn't working for you.
Can you export a much simpler version of your sequence?
Can you try exporting only with mono tracks?
Are there any nested sequences in the sequences?
For file export, did you choose "encapsulate?"
Are all the clips the same sample rate?
Does the sample rate of the clips match sequence settings?
Audition should work. If you have changed any of the above, please try another export from Audition.
Thanks,
Kevin

Loading audio into Adobe Edge via XML issue

I am having an issue linking the location of an audio file via XML in Adobe Edge. I am able to get the info and post it as text, however I can not get it to load into the audio player. This is my first try at code ever, nothing too complex if possible.
Here is the code that works along with the part I can not get to work.
var fromName;
var outputField = $(this.lookupSelector("xmlOutput"));
$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "edgesound.xml",
    dataType: "xml",
    success: function(xml) {
        fromName = $(xml).find('audio1').text();
        outputField.html(fromName);
    var newSound = new Audio();
     newSound.src = "sound.mp3";
     newSound.volume = 0.5;
     sym.$("soundBtn").toggle(
function(){
     newSound.play();
     sym.$(this).html('stop'); },
function(){
     newSound.pause();
     sym.$(this).html('restart'); });
// XML Try below
     var newSound_xml = new Audio();
     newSound_xml.src = "fromName";
     newSound_xml.volume = 0.5;
     sym.$("soundBtn_xml").toggle(
function(){
     newSound_xml.play();
     sym.$(this).html('stop'); },
function(){
     newSound_xml.pause();
     sym.$(this).html('restart'); });
And here is the simple XML doc being called
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ax> <audio1>sound.mp3</audio1> </ax>
I've also tried taking the .mp3 out of the xml and trying the following in the code with no success.
newSound_xml.src = "fromName" + ".mp3";
Thank you and here is a link to demo what I have so far.

GReturn get.get('XML') issue (Roel)

Roel,
I have an issue with the "function call LOV onchange" (I have the same issue with autocomplete function od Denes)
The first alert in the source below return the value of my item and it is send to the function but the second alert return '0', no result found
if(pValue){
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM',pValue)
alert(pValue);
}else{
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM','null')
gReturn = get.get('XML');
alert(gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item").length);
When i execute the same function in SQL commands i have
Content-type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
Cache-Control: no-cache

this xml genericly sets multiple items5EcarZb23
Statement processed.
U can see that a record is found for the id sent to the function.
Could u help me? thx

Hi Celio,
Sorry for the late response.
ODP is the On Demand Process
From the JavaScript you make a call to a ODP procedure you need to create in the Shared Components.
I like to use alert(myvariable); etc in my Javascript to see that values are getting to the ODP call.
Then because the ODP is all PL/SQL I like to place a few insert statements to a table that I created called bcdebug.
These inserts shows it actually got to the ODP and it is not a JavaScript problem.
Then I would insert again to show the value for v('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM') in the ODP also.
I created a procedure called pdebug so I could debug my PL/SQL code.
create or replace PROCEDURE "PDEBUG"
(pinput IN VARCHAR2,
pcommit IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE)
is
lString VARCHAR2(4000);
lstart NUMBER;
lLength NUMBER;
lcnt NUMBER:=0;
BEGIN
--htp.p('PDEBUG['||length(pinput)||']');
lLength:=length(pinput);
lstart:=1;
LOOP
lcnt:=lcnt + 1;
lString:=substr(pinput,lstart,4000);
-- htp.p('PDEBUG-Length['||lLength||']');
-- htp.p('PDEBUG-Start['||lstart||']');
insert into bcdebug
(input, create_dttm)
values
(lString,sysdate);
lLength:=lLength - 4000;
lstart:=lstart + 4000;
EXIT WHEN lLength <= 0 OR lcnt >10;
END LOOP;
if(pCOMMIT)then
COMMIT;
end if;
END;
pdebug('In Get select List');
pdebug(v('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM ');
Hope it helps for future coding too.
