How to read XML data from URL

Hi All,
I have one requirement. I have one URL which gives me data in XML format. I need to read this file and store this data into my SAP tables.
Can anybody suggest how read this XML file using URL?
Thanks in advance,
P.Shridhar.

Use a Server java proxy generated from your inbound message interface which would make a URLConnection to the specified URL after it gets triggered by BPM. A code snippet to achieve the same could be
URL url  = null;
URLConnection conn = null;
BufferedReader in = null;
url = new URL("http://someurl.someserver.com");
conn = url.openConnection();
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String line = null;
StringBuffer xml = new StringBuffer();
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null){
        xml.append(line);
-- amol

  • How to read xml data from jsf,

    Hi
    I would like to know how to read data in an xml so as we can display that data onto the jsf page to the user, say as a data table, or in an output txt box etc...

    This is nothing JSF-special. Just convert XML to objects (DTO's) and then use them in JSF.
    There are several ways to crawl the XML tree. JXPath and DOM4J are popular.

    if you decide to do in XSLT, I have a sample list here:
    XML file like this:

    How to generate XML data from Lotus Notes to migrate to SharePoint by passing XML to SharePoint.?
    Ramesh S

    You could use XMLQuery to return the data from your tables as XML, that would give you a CLOB.
    An example using the SCOTT schema might be like this:
    SELECT XMLQuery(
             'for $i in ora:view("DEPT")/ROW
              return <Department dname="{$i/DNAME}">
                     <Employee>
                       {for $j in ora:view("EMP")/ROW
                        where $j/DEPTNO eq $i/DEPTNO
                        return ($j/ENAME, $j/JOB, $j/SAL)}
                     </Employee>
                     </Department>'
             RETURNING CONTENT) FROM DUAL;In the docs you can find more information about its use:

  • Reading XML data from .pages file

    Hi All!
    I've been trying to get a script up and running, but frankly I'm lost. The script should read the date, lesson no, and name fields from a .pages file and then use that information to send an e-mail.
    What I'm having a problem with is reading the data from the .pages file and I don't know what the best way to do it is because I'm still a novice at this.
    So there are two ways I can think of:
    1. Read directly from the Pages document when it is open. The problem with this is that it's a Pages template and it contains tables. Perhaps the easiest thing would be just to select certain cells directly from pages, but I have no idea how they're labeled or how to access them so I came up with a second idea. If you happen to know how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
    2. Pages documents can be unzipped and one of the files is an xml file with a lot of tags and the data I need. I found the following post that talks about how to parse XML via an XSL stylesheet. After going through some tutorials, I got stuck because the xml itself in the Pages file is just a mess to me and I'm confused about which node to choose. In other xml docs you can see a clear, nicely laid out tabbed structure so you can at least figure out the path to the node you want. I stumbled across a nice script for TextWrangler which cleans up XML, but it just barks at the Pages file.
    3. On top of that, I will need to use the name field and match that with an Address Book e-mail address. Should I change the template and make it into an address book field?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    The script should read the date, lesson no, and name fields from a .pages file and then use that information to send an e-mail.
    Maybe you might want to try the following script:
    tell application "Pages"
        activate
        tell foreground layer of page 1 of front document
            select (text box 1 whose vertical position < 0.5)
            tell application "System Events"
                keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
                keystroke "a" using {shift down, command down} -- ⇧⌘A
            end tell
            set theText to the clipboard
        end tell
    end tell
    set TID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tab
    set theTextFields to text items of theText
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TID
    set {theDate, theLessonNo, theStudent} to {item 2, item 4, item 6} of theTextFields

    Can you share with me how can acheive this using LOB's?

    Hi OraSuirya,
    you can try with external tables .
    syntax as follows
    create table ext_table_csv (
    i Number,
    n Varchar2(20),
    m Varchar2(20)
    organization external (
    type oracle_loader
    default directory ext_dir
    access parameters (
    records delimited by newline
    fields terminated by ','
    missing field values are null
    location ('file.csv')
    reject limit unlimited;
    For this you need to create directory
    Directory Creation syntax:
    create or replace directory ext_dir as 'D:\oracle\user_dir\ext_dir';
    grant read, write on directory ext_dir to <User>;
    please paste the excel file in the particular directory .
    I hope this will help you.
    Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere .

    I'd like to point out here that any time you have a series of
    variables that
    all have identical names except for a number in the variable
    name, you
    should be looking at lists. I'm surprised, Paul, that you
    have lists used
    to the extent that you're able to use Value[counter] on the
    right side of
    the equation, yet you're not using lists on the left side of
    the equation.
    Let's look at how this code could be made super simple by
    having ONE list
    variable, LessonComplete, instead of Lesson1Complete through
    Lesson8Complete.
    -- Assumes a database query returns a string of name=value
    pairs
    -- delimited by the ampersand (&) character.
    -- strip leading & from queryString
    --(note you could also not add this ampersand on the PHP
    side)
    queryString := SubStr(queryString, 1, CharCount(queryString))
    -- break into list of individual lines
    tempList := Replace("&", Return, queryString)
    listLength := LineCount(tempList)
    -- create empty arrays for name and value
    name := Array("", listLength)
    LessonComplete := []
    repeat with counter := 1 to listLength
    singleLine := GetLine(tempList, counter)
    name[counter] := GetWord(1, Replace("=", " ", singleLine))
    LessonComplete[name[counter] * 1] := GetWord(2, Replace("=",
    singleLine))
    end repeat
    -- now you will need to add a separate calc icon with a
    routine to
    -- read the data from the arrays. name[counter] matches
    value[counter]
    --No you don't...You're DONE :-)
    Also note that this is extensible...you can have Lesson 9,
    10, etc. and not
    have to change the code. You can also lower the amount of
    data being
    transmitted, because now instead of Lesson8Complete=1 all you
    need is 8=1.
    This lowers the server load and speeds the response. It has
    advantages on
    the Authorware side as well, because if, for instance, you
    had a series of
    buttons that were checked or not based on the completion, you
    could do the
    same type of loop. Separate variable names do not allow for
    that type of
    loop unless you use Eval (ugh).
