Pls help - produce xml file with an agreed-upon DTD

I posted this a few weeks ago:
I have only installed XSU, and I was hopping to use pl/sql package XMLGEN to generate XML with a given DTD and a sql query.
I can't find input parameter for DTD. Well it seems logical as both DTD and SQL are for defining the XML output file.
How can this be done ?
Thanks.

Do I need to process the DTD to generate Java classes ? and then create XML document by a java application ?
I am in a pl/sql shop and I am not eager to go java because I need to use a DTD.
comments / help ?
thanks.

Sure. You could write an EntityResolver to do that. Attach it to your DocumentBuilder or XMLReader, depending on which you are using.

How to validate the Xml File With Java

Hi,
Can pls tell me. I want to validate the XML File for the Some Mandartory TAG. if that if Tag null i want to generate error xml file with error and i want move another folder with java. pls help me as soon as possible

Use a validating parser (any recent Xerces, for one) and switch on the validation feature. Very much vendor-specific, so look at the docs of your parser. Oh, you do have a schema for these documents, don't you?

Generation of Xml file with java output

Hi i m new to xml and java combination. I have a name value pair kind of output returning from java program. I want to generate the new xml file with the data. Could some one help me out in generating xml file with the data. Could anyone send me the java code that does this task.

Let me know which parser are you using currently for reading xml files so that i assist you. For now, you can refer to STAX Parser API under this link

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Hi,
you need to create three util class for that:-
XMLHandler
XMLParser
XMLBuilder
for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

XML file with an attached MIME encoded ZIP file

Hi all,
I'm new to SAP WAS and MIME encoding/decoding, and I'm trying to generate an XML file with an attachment which is also MIME encoded.
1) I have dummy files (1.jpg, 2.jpg) and I'm trying to zip these files into one zip file (files.zip).
2) I'm trying to MIME encode/decode this zip file.
3) I'm trying to attach this MIME encoded zip file to existing XML file.
Which FMs could I use to accomplish this? Your help is very appreciated.
Thank you.
below is a file example that I'm trying to generate.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
     boundary="--XXXXboundary text"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--XXXXboundary text
Content-Type: text/xml;
     charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<abc/>
<def/>
--XXXXboundary text
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;      name="files.zip"

Just create an applet (extend JApplet)... add a JTextArea to it....fill the text area with the text from an XML doc.
To get the text of the XML doc just do something like..
File xmlFile = new File("<path to xml file>");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(xmlFile);
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) xmlFile.length()];
fis.read(bytes);
fis.close();
String xmlText = new String(xmlBytes);
textArea.setText(xmlText);
...try something like that (assuming..i understand what it is u want)

Need help processing XML files

I'm fairly new to Java and have never worked with XML. I need to process several XML files and display them in a matrix for comparison and I'm not sure if I need to understand SAX, DOM or some other API. I'm not creating the files, I'm just parsing them to put into a table so they can be displayed for comparison. I could be processing up to several hundreds of files, so performance would also be an issue.
I'm just looking for options and possible areas I can begin to look for help. Can anyone tell me which APIs would help me acheive my goal?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the response Kev. I guess a better diescription of the problem would be to say that I want to display the attributes and values of the differnet files in a matrix.
For example...
Here are 2 sample xml files with the same tags and attributes.
XML FILE A
<tag1 name="Fred", country="ca">
<tag2 group-name="Group 1">
<tag3 color ="blue">
</tag3>
</tag2>
</tag1>
XML FILE B
<tag1 name="Sue", country="us">
<tag2 group-name="Group 2">
<tag3 color="red">
</tag3>
</tag2>
</tag1>
I would like to have them displayed as follows...
XML FILE A XML FILE B
tag1 name           Fred Sue
tag1 country           ca us
tag2 group-name          Group 1 Group 2
tag3 Color          Blue     Red
HTML tags didn't work, so the matrix is bunched together, but I think you get the idea. My question is, which would be better to use SAX or DOM. I could be running this on as many as 50 or 60 files, so the matrix could get very large and performance could be an issue as multiple users could be doing this comparison at the same time.

Loading xml file with multiple rows

I am loading data from xml files using xsl for transformation. I have created xsl's and loaded some of the data. In an xml file with multiple row, it's only loading one (the first) row. Any idea how I can get it to read and load all the records in the file???

Could some please help me with the above. I desparately need to move forward.

How do you display xml file with xlst sheet in jsp

I have an xml file with accompanying xslt file (and several images that are used in a single directory. If I doubleclick on the xml file, it displays perfectly in my browser - Formatting, images and all!
          The 100 dollar question - How do I duplicate this behavior in a JSP page in WebLogic 8.1 using the code in the xml and the accompanying xslt (formatting) file? I tried simple embedding the xml code in the jsp, but that didn't seem to work. What is the secret?
          Okay, I need to add a bit more information here. I understand that it is really easy to just redirect to the XML file. The issue is really security. I want the XML to be inside a jsp that will only allow validated users to view it.
          Another way to look at the problem would be, can I add a jsp security tag to the xml file? Or how to I add the xml code inside a jsp and keep the path references to the xslt and graphics.
          Hope the added information helps
          Thanks,
          Ken

Transform Large XML files with XSL

HELP, LARGE XML FILES
I have got 30 - 50 MB large xml file, and i would like to transform it
with xslt, i tried but i have got OutOfMemory Exception.
I tried to find out the solution on JAVA site, but i didn't find it.
I can not displit my xml file. I hope for some help.
I tried really everything.
Thanks a lot

What is your machine configuration ?
The above 2 suggestions would help, but it does depend on how your software is written.
Please post more info about your environment and object design.

One to many xml files with file adaptor

Hi,
I have a scenario HCM-ABAPProxy--XI-File for one structure I need to generate multiple xml files with 100 records per file.
this is my input messag
MT_in
Node
     PositionIDs
        descrption
        job
        IsActive
what I was doing on the ABAP side for every node I have 100 PositionID's sub nodes. so each node should be a sperate file.
my output structure is
PositionIDs
    PositionID
      pid
      description
      job
so there should be one PositionIDs per file which contains 100 PositionID.
I've multi message mapping without BPM that did not work out just wondering if any one came across the same scenario.
thanks,
Joe

You can not create multiple files without BPM. You can pretty much perform multi mapping to achieve your split but to write it to a file, you will have to call the file adapter for each split which you can not do without using BPM. In BPM, for each split that you perform, you can use a send step in for-each loop which will give you the functionality you require.

XML-file with prefix in Java importing

Hello,
I have one XML-file with prefix "wf" like this:
   <wf:data>
           <wf:name>NAME</wf:name>
           <wf:description/>
           <wf:creation_time>0001-01-01T00:00:00</wf:creation_time>
           <wf:user wf:ref=""/>
           <wf:properties/>
   </wf:data>the Java-Code like this:
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
          XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
          String expression = "./data/name/text()";
          InputSource inputSource = new InputSource("workflow.xml");
                String result = xpath.evaluate(expression, inputSource);the Java-Code works well, if the prefix does not exist, otherwise I could not get any result. Could somebody please help me?
Thank you
Sunny

I have defined the namespaceI didn't see that in your original post.
I notice that your XPath expression doesn't include the namespace prefixes and you don't tell it how to map the prefixes to the namespace URIs. I am not sure whether calling factory.setNamespaceAware(false) makes it unnecessary to do that. I wouldn't count on it.

How Can I dispaly XML file with CSS?

hi,all
There is maybe a simple way to dispaly a XML file with a CSS file in program.But I don't know.Who can tell me?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
XML documents don't have the link or style elements that are used in HTML to connect style information to particular documents. Instead, the W3C has defined a processing instruction that provides that information, based on the model of the HTML link element. To connect a CSS style sheet to your XML document so that the browser can find it, use a processing instruction like
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="URI"?>
where URI is the address of the style sheet. We'll use a style sheet called display1.css for our first test document. The processing instruction can go right after the XML declaration.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="display1.css"?>
<test>
Hope this may help you.
