How to pass an xml file as a command line argument

hi,
i would like to know how to pass xml tags (not an xml file) while running java command. i have already compiled the code and i have a .class file generated. i need to pass this argument in the java command because i am calling a web service which requires an xml as parameter to it.
to be precise the java code contains soap request and i need to pass xml at run time.
pl do reply if you have any ideas or solutions...
Thanks in advance,
gnsinhyd

I got the answer myself
Got the answer myself. I needed the ActionServlet Context in the ActionClass. This is what I have done...
It works.
LogonAction.class
Code:
InputStream is = getServlet().getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/conf/menu.xml");
XMLMenuBuilder.java
Code:
Document document = builder.parse(is);
Thanks

How to pass an XML file in a war file to the DocumentBuilder.parse

I am developing a webapp on the struts framework
I need to parse an XML file 'menu.xml' which I have placed under the 'WEB-INF/classes' folder
My Action class calls a helper class called XMLMenuBuilder which needs to parse the 'menu.xml'
Here are code snippets from my classes:
LogonAction.java
XMLMenuBuilder builder = new XMLMenuBuilder();
Vector menuVector = (Vector)builder.renderMenu();XMLMenuBuilder.java
public Vector renderMenu() throws AppException
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse( new File(xmlfile) );
}My Problem is how can I make the builder.parse access the 'menu.xml' file under the 'WEB-INF/classes' folder
instead of searching for it on the file system
Any help will be much appreciated

How to run multiple java files concurrently using command line?

Hi,
I have to write a script to run multiple java files and c files concurrently. Say, A and C are java files and B is another binary executable file, I have to make sure they are run in the order A-B-C, then I was trying to run by using
java A & ./B & java C
But it turned out that B could run before A started... Is there any way that I can ensure that A runs before B, and B runs before C by using the command line?
Thanks a lot.

Sorry, I didn't make my question clear enough...
A has to give some output files that B needs to get started,Then B can start at any time--even before A--and just wait for those files to be written. For instance, A could write to a temp file, then rename it to the real name. However, if there are multiple files, and they all have to exist, even this won't necessarily work. There are other approaches that will though.
although writing the output takes very short time,Depends on when the OS decides to give A CPU time, what else is going on on that disk controller and/or network, etc.
B could still run before A finishes the writing, As it can if you sleep for 1, or 10, or 1,000,000 seconds before starting B.
if B can't find the info it wants, it fails to move on. That's why I need to make sure A starts before B.No, you need to make sure A's data is there before B tries to use that data.

Filenames as Command Line Arguments: How?

i need to create a program that involves taking in a file name as command line argument, reads the file and then displays its contents on the screen. it needs to work with any file with a .txt extension.
The only thing i dont fully understand is how to read the file name as a command line argument e.g.
"java FileReaderApp myfile.txt
----contents of file--------
Thanks in advance
Carl
P.S. I have lready read the various helps, utils etc for java and still dont really understand

Okay, first, it will help if you don't think of "filenames as command line args." The two concepts are totally independent.
Command line args are Strings. What you do with those Strings is up to you. Processing the command line args is the same, regardless of whether they represent file names or the turnons of the last 50 playmates.
The args array below contains the command line args.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// do stuff
} Files are generally referred to using the java.io.File. It takes a String for the file name. It doesn't matter where the String comes from.
Look at FileReader and BufferedReader to actually read the contents of the file.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/FileReader.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/BufferedReader.html
For the basic command line arg stuff, one of the following should have some info and examples

How can I pass a xml file to the webservice?

Hello friends,
How can I pass the XML file to any webservice API ?
I have all the inputs of API in to the XML file.
Please note:- I don't intend to do any .NET or Java coding to populate the data in the objects .Instead I plan to input the data to the webservice direcly from the XML file required schema.
If necessary I can use Oracle Bpel process manager for it.
Thanks and regards

Passing an XML file from WebDynpro app to ABAP function module

Hi all,
I'm stuck with a problem, and am hoping one of you could let me know how to proceed:
I need to pass an XML file (or at least the entire content of the XML) from my WebDynpro application to a backend ABAP function module. What I tried was this:
In my WebDynpro app, I read the XML and convert the content into one long string (using java.io.FileReader and java.io.BufferedReader). In my ABAP function module I created an import parameter of type String. I then imported the ABAP Function module into my WebDynpro app as a model. I then tried to pass the XML string to the ABAP module. What happens is this:
If the size of the string (XML) happens to be less than 255 characters, then it works. That is, the string is passed to the ABAP function module and I can see the contents. However, if the XML string happens to be greater than 255 characters, then it does not work. The string at the ABAP side is empty. Surprisingly, the ABAP module does not throw an error either. It just displays an empty string.
Could you please tell me what the problem is?
Thanks & Regards,
Biju

Hi Biju ,
Welcome to SDN.
If the import parameter is defined as type string it should work, however did you check whether your application pass it properly?
I have applications using strings as import parameters working fine. (webapplications (BSP) to RFC)

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the rows? Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the records?

The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available
Generating XML Data from the Database
Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.

How to Merge multiple XML files in one file ( Env: XML Publisher 5.6.2)

All,
I have recently started working on XML publisher and have developed 3 reports in last 2 days using XML Publisher and integrating them with Concurrent programs.
This is a great tool.
I have got another requirement, where i need to use xml file generated by multiple run of same report with various parameters and then merge all xml file to a single report. Developing the whole custom process will take very long time and sure will have bugs in it. Instead i was thinking to use xml file generated by Oracle report itself.
Report "US Gross to net summary" generates xml output in standard output directory and then show output in PDF file. I have 7 such file generated for each payroll. I want to merge output of xml into a single xml so that i can create single report having data from all 7 xml files showing me All payroll output in a single report.
Can someone please guide me , how can i read xml file data from the output directory of a seeded concurrent program and how to manipulate data in it.
Thanks
Ankur

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
Best Regards,
Ankur

Does anyone know how to convert an XML file to a readable file?

All,
I have been using an APP called "SMS Backup & Restore" to backup my message conversations to my Laptop PC. It works fine BUT the backup file, once in my PC, has an XML extent such as "filename.XML"
I would like to read and/or print and/or save the text message file so does anyone know how to convert the XML file to something else so it shows all the messages without all the formatting instructions.
When I try to see the XML file it shows all the formatting. If I replace the .XML with .TXT that too shows all the formatting mixed in with the text message narrative.
When I look at the XML file in SMS Backup & Restore in the Charge phone it looks great showing all the messages just as they were on the phones display. The problem with this is that there is no way to print or read or save the messages as they appear in the file from the phone itself. I tried screen capture but if you have, let's say, a 28 message conversation you have to do 7 or 8 screen captures to get them all.
If only I could convert the XML in my PC to something that is printable or savable or readable that would be the "cats meow."
Anyone know how???
JerryF
PS, You might take a look at my related post.

Ann154,
You were correct again. I deleted everything I had done to date and re-did the entire SMS backup of my 28 message conversation again and YES I was able to open it using IE-8. It looks great and it prints great and life is good! I am going to go make a donation.
Thanks again for the help. I marked this thread as answered by you.

How to transfer an xml file to NW Portal Knowledge Management from XI?

Hi all,
Anybody knows how to transfer an xml file to NW Portal Knowledge Management from XI?
What kind of adapter type I have to choose? And which procedures I have to do in KM Portal? Create a folder, what kind of folder and permissions?
Suggestions and ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi
Can anyone tell me how XI sends messages to applications like J2EE. In REceiver comm channel, I think we specify about the target system like J2EE appl.
Aadapter Type: HTTP
               Receiver
Transport Protocol: HTTP1.0
Message Protocol:    XI payload in HTTP body
Adapter Engine:      Integration Server
Addressing Type:     URL address
Target host:         localhost
Service Number:      7001(Port number of Weblogic appl server--where my J2EE appl is deployed).
Path     : /Invoke/DisplayRes/
Authentication Type:Use Logon Data for SAP System
Content Type: text/xml
Username:   xiappluser
password:   xx
XML code:   UTF-8
I suppose XI sends msgs to http://localhost:7001/Invoke/DisplayRes/........
in this example if am correct?
Then I have given all tyhe necessary setting but my servlet is not able to display XML msg in browser?
This is my servlet code:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
     PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
     BufferedReader brin =new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
     String inputLine;
     StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer();
        response.setContentType("text/xml");
     while ((inputLine = brin.readLine()) != null)
         sBuf.append(inputLine);
         out.println("hi");
            out.println(sBuf.toString());
         brin.close();
         out.flush();
What went wrong?
Help me, all helpful answers are highly rewarded.
Thanks

How to transfer a xml file?

Dear friends,
I have a question about how to transfer a xml file between server and client using axis or weblogic.
My application needs to send xml files instead of primitive data types and bean objects.
Is it possible to tranfer files between server and client?
thank you very much for your great help!
jayanandan.

hi,
There are two ways in which u can send an xml file.
1) U send it along with the body of the soap message.
2)u can send it as an attachment in the soap envelope. this method u can use for any type of files.
If u send it in soap body the it will take more time for the processing of the soap body.so attachment is the best way.
I case of any queries please feel free to post it in the forum

How to get the XML file if we are using the Product short name.

Hi,
Till now I have used Short name of the Concurrent Program for Code while creating a Data Definition. Now saw a seeded template which has given the Code by Product short name. If we have the concurrent program then it is easy to refer the fields by checking the XML file. In this case how to find the XML file or how to refer all the fields if we have given code with Product short name. I saw this for iReceivables(ARI). Anybody please help me.
Thanks.

Hi Siva
Just to clarify, rather than the short name of the conc program there is a shipped data definition that just uses the product short name? What is the data def so I can check it.
