How to populate a form from an xml file with multiple records

I want to be able to create a single form that will add pages as needed based upon the number of records being imported from an xml file.
I have an IRS form that does this exactly, but I do not know how to re-create it. I entered data into the form, then exported that data to xml. Then I opened that xml file in excel and added more records (this is just an easy way to manage the xml data in a tabular form). Then I import the changed xml file into the IRS form and it adds as many pages as I have records. Perfect! Unfortunately, I cannot edit the form to examine the technique. It does not appear to be relying upon any additional local javascript files. It does use an 'add page' button which may suggest the form is using the template .spawn() technique, but when I try that in my own form, it gives me unique field names for each page which are then not consistent with the xml data. Hopefully someone can help me understand what I am missing.

did you want
<record>0
<data>"11.97.23.174/32"
<record>address <data>
<record>address <data>
<record>subnet <data>
<record>ip <data>"10.97.23.174"</data></record>
</data></record>
</data></record>
</data></record>
</data></record>
or
<record>0
<data>"11.97.23.174/32"
<record>address <data>
<record>address <data>
<record>subnet <data>
<record>ip <data>"10.97.23.174"</data></record>

Create and populate pdf forms from a xml file for follow up information

Forgive my amateurishness, I have a simple .xml that was created with excel with name, address, date of service, age, dob, account #, unit, and business name. I need a form to be pre-populated with the .xml data but have other fields (mainly Yes/No check boxes) that need to be populated by other users. This users would then finish filling out the form and return it to me via email. I have created the form in LC Designer ES2 and created it with Acrobat Pro X. However when I attempt to import data I can only see the first .xml record. So my question is, how do I create multiple .pdf forms for each .xml record? Do I need to use Java within LC Designer? Or use Adobe Pro? I am not afraid to attempt to code, (I have many excel programs that batch print to .pdf using vb).
Thank you in advance

Obtain Array from an XML file with Multiple Arrays

Hi,
So I have been struggling with this program I am making for the last few months but I am almost there. I have a program that creates multiple arrays and place them one after another in an xml file and each array has its own unique name. Now I would like to create a VI that takes this XML file and when the user inputs the specific array name they are looking for it goes into the xml file finds the entire array under that name and displays it in an output indictor to be viewed on the VI. Attached is a sample of my xml file and the VI that creates this xml file.
Thanks,
dlovell
Solved!

Here is a slightly different version. The one above reads from a file. This is how you would read from an already loaded XML string.

XML file with multiple records

I have an XML data file that will look something like this (repeated possibly several hundred times):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<A><V>Wake up to WonderWidgets!</V>
<C>Why are great</C>
</A>
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<A>Eric</A>
When I try to parse the code using the Echo03.java sample from the website, I get the following error: END_ELM: </>org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: XML declaration may only begin entities.
     at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.fatal(Parser2.java:3339)

     at Echo03.main(Echo03.java:60)
Is there any way (short of actually reading the file and looking for the beginning of each record) that I can get the parser to do multiple stard and end documents or at least get it to read and parse all the entries in the file?
Thanks

Yout file should look something like this: <
?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<start>
<A><V>Wake up to WonderWidgets!</V>
<C>Why are great</C>
</A>
<A>Eric</A>
</start>
you can only have one root element ( e.g. <start> )

Insert Insert XML file into multiple records in Oracle Database

I would like to find out if it is possible to insert a single XML file into multiple records or tuples in a Oracle database table. I have a single XML file which is at multiple levels. The meta data for the levels are common and each level can have meta data of their own in addition. I do not have any meta data field which will uniquely determine whether the data belongs to Root level, Intermediate level or at the document level. Is there any way I can determine which level the meta data belongs to and thereby make a corresponding entry into the database table tuple? For example I could have an attribute called level which is going to be present only in the database table and not in the XML file. If level=1 then it corresponds to "Root" meta data, if level=2 then it corresponds to "Intermediate" level and if level=3 then it corresponds to meta data at document level. I need a way to calculate the value for level from the XML file and thereby insert the meta data element into a tuple in a single table in Oracle.

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
        ID VAL
         1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
        ID VAL
         2 b                                                                    Ants

1 xml file to multiple xml files with 200 records in each

Hello Experts,
I have below scenario.
Please suggest me which might be the best approch to work on.
1) XML file to XML file
I will have 1 pretty huge XML file which i need to break in multiple XML files with 200 records each.
1) first approch i can have bpm in which i can split the file according to my requirement.
2) Second approch i can create 2 scenarios in which 1st scenario will pick up XML file and create multiple flat files with File content conversion. Second scenario will pick up all these flat files and create XML files.
2) XML file to XML file
Or i can have multiple files with 1 record per file and i need to merge in multiple XML files with 200 records in each.
So its kind of 1:N or M:N scenarios.
Please tell me which is might be better performance and design wise.
Or if you have any idea in any other way i can do this, then please reply as soon as possbile.
Please tell me if you have OS command for the same or some script to run or anything which i can implement.
Thanks,
Hetal

what is your senario? is it File to File?
You can use multi mapping concept without BPM. You can handle the 200 records per message logic in the multimapping.

How to run 11g Form from a batch file (.bat) !

Hi,
Previously, I run my Form 6i from a batch file (with Windows Schedular Tasks) as below;
E:\orant\bin\ifrun60.exe e:\lock.fmx
This form lock some items on a certain date (with the help of Windows Schedular Task).
How can this possible in Forms 11g ?
Kindly guide !
Regards.
Vick.

Well are you talking about doing that on a free standing/developer machine or are you thinking of on the
server? In any case forms6i was a native application and forms11 is a web application that requires weblogic, even on the developer machine.
I think you will have to start from square one describing what you are trying to do.
Soapbox: I really think if forms "went back" to having a native deployment option it would be highly treasured. Here is a case where we are still running 6i for that reason. We have a situation where they interview clients at another location using a laptop. The laptop form brings up successive question screens, which questions are asked of the clients and their responses recorded. If the interview data is lost we cannot bring these people back and do it over. In the meantime the wifi connecting back to the database server can go bad. It can get over-loaded, it can just crap out. The firewalls on the way can decide rightly or wrongly to time the connection out. There's a bunch of ways the connection can get dropped. So what we do is that form saves a copy of the data to the disk in a file before it tries to submit it to the database, which could fail. So we have a backup. Can't easily do that in 11. I have yet to have gotten webutil to work. It's a mobile option that is becoming popular and forms should do it, have the ability for the form to run independently on the client including an ability to save data and of course if you saved it, people will want to be able to sync it back to the database when the client is reconnected.

How to read configuration data from an xml file (not web.xml)?

Hi,
I want to separate the application specific configuration parameters in a separate xml file and read them as and when they are needed? I know that I can use the wb.xml but I want to separate them in a different xml file because I don't want the web.xml file to be played around later after deployment. If any change is needed then it should be done in the application-config.xml.
How can I read the parameters from this xml file in my jsp code and also what should be the location of this file if I have
../webapps/Root/application
directoty structure ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

can you give an example of a property file and also
it is loaded in the jsp ?Hmm... loading properties in a JSP is not a very good idea. You should do it in a separate class, rather than mixing the logic with the display logic.
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.load(UtilClass.class.getResourceAsStream("config.properties"));
// Add a try - catch block around the load
// for IOException...

How to generate GUI code from parsed XML file?

Hello,
1. I like to create data type from a XML file structure, which contains the data structure ?
XML fields will need to be taken note of to see which is repeating or not. You can also load the XML into a third-party tool such as Altova XML Spy and then generate an XSD from there. You will need to import the XSDs into PI under external definitions. However, this does not guarantee business interoperability, as such, it is always best to ask the provider for the XSDs or WSDL. It will also save you a lot of time from guessing which fields are needed or not.
2. How to create custom node function in graphical mapping editor ?
In your graphical mapping editor, on the lowest left corner, there is an icon there that says Create New Function. You must take into account their return types:
1. Single Values = String
2. Queue/Context (no return type) thus resultList is used.
Hope this helps,

How to display Japanese text from an XML file

Hiya,
I have various adapted mp3 players [called playlists on my site] which retrieve the songs and song titles/artists from an XML file. One of them plays Japanese music.
Most of the tracks are in English but I now have a couple of songs with Japanese titles and file names which I can't get to preview/display in Flash Pro CS5 [Mac]. I can type static Japanese text and it displays fine but Flash seems to be having a problem with the Japanese from the XML file.
Though I can find the English titles, etc, it would be nice if there were a way to display Japanese text from a 'multi-lingual' [English and Japanese] XML file [probably something really easy].
Thanks a bunch.

How to quick import Tags from a xml file?

Good morning/afternoon/night everyone.
I have this client that want me to import something like 1000 tags from a xml file in CQ5.5. I know I can do it programatically and in dev.day.com I have already found some instructions, but, there is some easier way to do this? Or, if the only way is developing a bundle to run in a workflow (and then the client can import tags from xml files anytime he want to), do you guys have some advice or guidelines?
Thanks!

I would expect it should be possible using vault. If you export an existing namespace from cq using vault (checkout/update) you can see what format it should be in. Then you should convert your xml to match that format (perhaps using XSLT) and use vault in the other direction (commit).
We are using vault all the time behind the scenes using a vault plugin for maven. This way we can export content from one developer's cq instance, put it in SVN and have another developer import it in his cq instance, all using maven (and vault). This is especially usefull for general content structures and for tags.

What are the requirements and steps for arranging to receive this large file using File Transfer Protocol (FTP)?
Usually, we don't speak of "receive" when using FTP, since the file is transferred from server to client, so it's more of a case of "download".
At your end, it's simple. You use an FTP client; under SL, that includes Finder and Safari, so you don't even need to get any additional software.
At the other end, it's more complicated; the 'sender' must set up an FTP server on his machine.
Alternatively, you can set up your own Mac as an FTP server, and have the 'sender' connect to you with an FTP client and upload the file; but, if your Mac lives behind a router, then you have more work to do with the router settings.
That's why it's much easier to use the file sharing services mentioned above -- if they are available in both sender's and receiver's locations. (Keep in mind that some countries block access to all those mentioned -- except perhaps <www.transfer.ro>, of which I know absolutely nothing.)

Why not use T-SQL for generating XML? You can use FOR XML for that
