How to avoid empty elements in generated xml text

I am using XMLBeans to generate xml.
If I set text value for a tag then it displaying like
<param name="org">Satyam</param>
If I set empty text value for the same tag it generateing xml text like
<param name="org"/>
But I don't need empty elements in generated xml like this way. Even though I set empty text to a tag it has to display like
<param name="org"></param>
How can I do this one.

Hi,
by the book these two representations are identical
<.... />
<....></....>
as for the XML-parser.
What problem are you facing with the <... /> representation?
I will try to investigate a bit to see if the XMLBean can be forced to write the <....></....> representation.

How to delete empty element in popup list

I have a question about a suspicious behaviour in Forms Builder 10.1.2.0.2.
When I have a list object (pop up list) I can define some values in the attribute palette of the object.
So you can set a shown name and a value behind. In this little window to set the items of the popup list you get automatically a white empty item at the end of the list. When I click now on this empty item (you do so, when you want to add an item) Forms Builder automatically adds an new empty item at the end.
When I click this new empty item, Forms Builder adss another empty one ... and so on.
It´s very suspicious because, when I end this dialog with "OK", it will be saved and when I open the form (over web) I have at the end of the list one, two (or more) empty elements in list.
But I can´t delete this empty ones from the list in Forms Builder.
So my question:
how can I delete empty items in a popup list??
I try it with hit "del" button at keyboard or delete the set value for the item (I hope Forms Builder delete items without value). But all does not help.

Thanks jwh for this great solution! :)
On my german keyboard it is:
ctrl+< for deleting a line
ctrl+> (= ctrl+shift+<) for adding a new line
Thanks! :)
I have another question (you can maybe help me, too?).
On this popup lists you can have several items. When you open a form (via web) and the list has more than x items (maybe 5 or 6) the form shows a scroll bar on the right side.
Is there any poosibility to set how much items has to show and only show a scroll bar when there are more items in the list?
Or other way: set the maximum of shown items so big, that there will be no scroll bar.

How to Avoid Empty Space in Excel Export , while using SubReport.

We have a sceneraio where we have parent child relationship and we are using the SubReport Concept to map the child data by taking input parameter from Parent Report.
The RPL/HTMl viewer , PDF works fine, but when we export data into excel empty rows are comming.
Could you please suggest how can we avoid empty space in Excel Export.
we have kept the cell (width and height ) same as SubReport Width and height.

Hi SubhadipRoy,
According to your description, did you use separate subreport to display the data rather than insert subreport in tablix?
Based on my test, if we are use separate subreport to display the data in the report, when we export to Excel we will get an additional row. We can adjust the minimum gap between tablix and subreport to work around the issue. In SSRS 2012, if we paste tablix
and subreport without empty space in report design, it will not display the additional row. You can try to put the tablix and subreport in a rectangle to resolve the issue.
Reference:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20367960/remove-additional-column-from-exporting-to-excel-from-ssrs
There is a screenshot for your reference:
If the issue is persist, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Mapping question - how to remove empty recordsets from output XML?

Hello everyone!
I have a mapping problem I hope you can help me out with.
Here is an example of the source message:
<IDOC>
. <HEAD>
. </HEAD>
. <DET>
. . <Node>
. . . <nodeA>001</nodeA>
. . . <nodeB>OA</nodeB>
. . </Node>
. . <Node>
. . . <nodeB>OB</nodeB>
. . </Node>
. . <Node>
. . . <nodeA>002</nodeA>
. . . <nodeB>OC</nodeB>
. . </Node>
. </DET>
</IDOC>
After testing the above XML in the message mapping, here's what my target looks like:
<FILE>
. . <Rec>
. . . <nA>001</nA>
. . . <nB>OA</nB>
. . </Rec>
. . <Rec>
. . . <nB>
. . . <nA>
. . </Rec>
. . <Rec>
. . . <nA>002</nA>
. . . <nB>OC</nB>
. . </Rec>
</FILE>
"Node" in the "source" message is mapped to "Rec" in my "target" message.
"Node=" -
> "Rec"
You may notice the the "Rec" in the second entry has empty fields. The reason this is so is because I put an "IF" condition in field "nA" and field "nB" that checks whether "nodeA" in the "source" exists/has a value, and if it doesn't, empty values should be given.
Here's my problem, I need the XML output to be clean. All empty Recs should be removed from the Output XML so that it resembles the one below:
<FILE>
. . <Rec>
. . . <nA>001</nA>
. . . <nB>OA</nB>
. . </Rec>
. . <Rec>
. . . <nA>002</nA>
. . . <nB>OC</nB>
. . </Rec>
</FILE>
I've tried several ways to get this done to no avail. Would anyone be able to help me out? I would really, really appreciate it!
Warm regards,
Glenn

How To Remove Empty Node From Source XML

Hi,
How can I remove an empty node from the source xml in a XSLT mapping.
For e.g. If the source xml is like:
<SRC>
<Node1>SAP</Node2>
<Node2/>
<Node3>XI</Node3>
</SRC>
Then the xml should become:
<SRC>
<Node1>SAP</Node2>
<Node3>XI</Node3>
</SRC>
I need to do this because the output of my XSLT mapping is showing blank spaces for each blank node.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Use <xsl:if>
Or else you may find different options here

Counting how many number of elements in a XML

Hi all, 
I am having a requirement in ABAP-IXML ie., i need to find how many times a same element name(ComponentUsage) gets repeat in an xml. 
here is the xml, 
 
<Component mmRelease="6.30" mmVersion="2.0" mmTimestamp="1180099591892" name="Comp_three" package="sap.com" masterLanguage="en"> 
 
<Component.ComponentUsages> 
<ComponentUsage lifecycleControl="createOnDemand" name="comp1"> 
<ComponentUsage.ComponentControllerUsages> 
<ComponentControllerUsage name="Configuration"> 
</ComponentControllerUsage> 
</ComponentUsage.ComponentControllerUsages> 
<ComponentUsage.UsedComponent> 
<Core.Reference package="sap.com" name="Comp_twoInterface" type="ComponentInterfaceImplementation"/> 
</ComponentUsage.UsedComponent> 
</ComponentUsage> 
</Component.ComponentUsages> 
 
<Component.ComponentUsages> 
<ComponentUsage lifecycleControl="createOnDemand" name="comp2"> 
<ComponentUsage.ComponentControllerUsages> 
<ComponentControllerUsage name="Configuration"> 
</ComponentControllerUsage> 
</ComponentUsage.ComponentControllerUsages> 
<ComponentUsage.UsedComponent> 
<Core.Reference package="sap.com" name="Comp_twoInterface" type="ComponentInterfaceImplementation"/> 
</ComponentUsage.UsedComponent> 
</ComponentUsage> 
</Component.ComponentUsages> 
</Component> 
 
Here as the xml is short so i manually knows tat the element "ComponentUsage" are used 2 times, but suppose if i use a big xml and the component usage element is used "N" number of times then how can i count mannually....... so is there any method or code to find how many times does "ComponentUsage" element present in an XML. 
 
Thanks in advance, 
Vishnu

How to select specific element from a XML document using JDBC?

Hi all,
I have a problem with selecting specific XML element in Oracle 11g release 1 from my java application. Data are stored in object-relational storage.
My file looks like:
<students>
<student id="1">
</student>
<student id="2">
</student>
<student id="3">
</student>
</students>
I need to select a specific <student> element. I've already tried few ways to achieve my goal but I failed.
SELECT extract(OBJECT_VALUE,'/students/student') FROM students - works fine, but this selects all <student> elements
SELECT extract(OBJECT_VALUE,'/students/student[1]') FROM students - which should select first <student> element works too but it causes exception when using JDBC driver returns:
java.sql.SQLException: Only LOB or String Storage is supported in Thin XMLType
 at oracle.xdb.XMLType.processThin(XMLType.java:2817)
 at oracle.xdb.XMLType.<init>(XMLType.java:1238)

 at oracle.xdb.XMLType.createXML(XMLType.java:676)
 at cz.zcu.hruby.data.Select.getStudent(Select.java:45)
SELECT to_clob(extract(OBJECT_VALUE,'/students/student[1]')) FROM students - in this case I hoped that DB would convert result to CLOB but the element is quite large (definitely more than 4000 Bytes long which I find out from forum is limit). But this exception occurs:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-19011: Character string buffer too small

SELECT to_lob(extract(OBJECT_VALUE,'/students/student[1]')) FROM students - I hoped I can convert return value to a LOB value but that doesn't work for me either:

 at cz.zcu.hruby.data.Select.getStudent(Select.java:40)
This behaviour raises two questions:
1) Why SELECT extract(OBJECT_VALUE,'/students/student') FROM students works but SELECT extract(OBJECT_VALUE,'/students/student[1]') FROM students does't ?
2) Is there any way how I can select specific element (element XPath /students/student[@id="some value"]) and convert it to String?
Thanks for your responses I would appreciate any suggestion
Honza

To be exact my <student> element is a bit complicated and looks like the one at the end of this post (sorry but it's in czech). And I need to select whole xml fragment (all opening and closing tags included) as it is shown. Maybe I used wrong solution and I should use CLOB storage. I discuss this issue here: Which solution for better perfomance?
Thanks anyway for your response. I would be very grateful if you have any further idea

How to avoid the null values from xml publisher.

I am creating a report which have the claim numbers with the values CLA001,CLA111,null, null . when i preview my report it is showing some spaces for null values also. How can i avoid the spaces from the report.
I am giving for loop for the claim numbers in the template.
<?for-each:ROW?> <?sort:CLAIMNUMBER;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
<?CLAIMNUMBER?>
<?end for-each?>
Please help me out to solve this problem.
Thanks,
vasanth.

Hi Sheshu,
According to your description, you are experiencing the null values and infinity values when browser the calculated measure, right?
Based on my research, the issue is caused by that dividing a non-zero or non-null value by zero or null. In this cases, we need to check for division by zero to avoid this situation. Here is the sample query for you reference.
IIF(
Measures.[Measure B]=0,null,
Measures.[Measure A] / Measures.[Measure B]
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

How to avoid & # 1 3 ; in serialized XML?

I use the following code to write a XML (DOM) object to file:
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file); TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); try { Transformer t = tf.newTransformer(); t.setOutputProperty("media-type", "text/plain"); //default: text/plain t.setOutputProperty("indent", "yes"); t.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4"); DOMSource domsource = new DOMSource(document); StreamResult sr = new StreamResult(fos); t.transform(domsource, sr); } catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) { tce.printStackTrace(System.err); } catch (TransformerException te) { te.printStackTrace(System.err); }i need to have nice formatting and preserved white spaces/lines. the code above does this, but also inserts a  for each carriage return (in addition to the carriage return itself). so the output is
This is line 1.
And this is line 2instead of:
This is line 1.
And this is line 2How can i avoid the generation of this ?

In XML,  is exactly equivalent to a carriage-return character.

<xs:complexType name="JobType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Addressees" type="tns:AddresseeType"/>
<xs:element name="EndUserNotification" type="tns:UserNotificationType" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="Comments" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0">
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Before I invoke the partner I do some assignments. Although I have no assign statement for the EndUserNotification I see the emtpy element on the wire:
<EndUserNotification></EndUserNotification>
In my case this is not valid XML since the EndUserNotification contains elements which are not optional. In my view the element shouldn't be on the wire because it's defined with minOccurs="0". Any ideas?
Thanks
Yves

Well this is pretty painful. Now I've got 0 elements even when the minOccurs is defaulted to 1. Presumably I'd have to ora:genEmptyElem() for every element I use on both callouts and responses. That's not what I'm looking for anyway. If I can't get an unitialized minOccurs=0 element then I'd prefer to delete the extraneous entry. So from my perspective I still haven't found a viable technique to have my web services respond appropriately.
BTW, the table defines 'False' as the appropriate value, when it requires 'false' to get the configuration property to be realized.

How to check empty return from Get XML Document Data?

If Get XML Document Data doesn't return a result, how do you test it? String.isEmpty() doesn't do the trick, it still throws the exception "java.lang.NullPointerException". I can't seem to be able to match that up to a cisco exception with a "On Exception Goto" step (which I put right before the XML Document Data step). Any clues anyone?

Hi,
Try this:
variable=Get XML Document Data ()
if(variable == null) then
true
false

How to avoid converting pdf documents to searchable text repeatedly

Can someone help me to resolve this Acrobat 8 or 9 problem.
I select a folder and initiate the conversion of all pdf documents to searchabel text (or OCR).
It works great. Next time, if I re-do the process, some documents re-convert again. Is there a way to tell Acrobat to stop converting pdf documents that already been OCR or converted to searchabel text ??

Hi,
Simplest -> OCR the PDF(s) prior to deployment to the production zone.
"Good" OCR can come from Acrobat or other applications (done ok with AdLib Server & Adobe's Capture Cluster - I'm sure there are others).
Typically, an OCR engine only knows how to do one thing - OCR what it is pointed to.
Perhaps a dedicated server application would provide more refined control - but that's not Acrobat's OCR engine.
Maybe possible -
Acrobat 8 & 9 Pro each has a Preflight Custom check that can identify if text rendering mode 3 (invisible text) - Acrobat's OCR output- is present.
Create an appropriate Preflight Profile.
Create a Batch Sequence to run the Preflight Profile.
Configure the Preflight: Batch Sequence Setup to create a report (for "On success" or "On error" or both).
Designate where the report PDF is to go.
Extract/filter the report's content to obtain a data set of what files have no text rendering mode 3 present.
Feed this data to a routine that directs/controls OCR.
"Routine" maybe possible via something with Acrobat JavaScript. Don't know.
Maybe via an Acrobat plug-in.
Maybe to control some other OCR application(?).
(Something for a real 'gritty' codehead <g>).
Myself, I try assiduously to avoid post processing my "deployed" PDFs; particular when OCR is involved.
At the work place, for on-going, PDF "streams" to be OCRd I and co-workers use AdLib Server.
So, the PDFs are OCRd prior to deployment.
Be well...

either this way we can do this
1)
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true); 
DocumentBuilder db = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
or
2)
java.io.StringWriter sw = new java.io.StringWriter();
StreamResult sr = new StreamResult(sw);
t.transform(new DOMSource(doc), sr);
String xml1 = sw.toString().trim();
 xml1=xml1.replaceAll("\\s",""); 
System.out.println(xml1.trim());
