Properly structuring a document for XML output, CS4

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a proper resource for how to to do this, what parameters I must work in and how I can work around some problems that I may be forseeing.
Now, I have done some research on this. I have some books on the subject but I have yet to find them to be terribly helpful for the kind of content I work with. In books, Things like the master pages, footnotes many other elements are essential. Most of the examples provided for me are frankly not as complex as the documents I work with. Frequently the books provide examples of an image with some text next to it.
Anyway clearly this could go on forever, so let me try and keep this tight. If anyone knows of an online database/resource of information I could use, that'd be great. Secondly, is it possible to export the data from the master pages into XML, or perhaps map the relevent content to xml (page numbers, title running head and chapter running head.) and the footnotes.
Thank you!

Did you know that you can place an InDesign document into another InDesign document?
Start with your letter-size version, and make sure it's up-to-date. Save it, close it, then start a new empty tabloid document. Go to File -> Place and place the four pages of your letter-size document into your tabloid document.
When you need to update both docs, then make the text changes in the lettersize doc. Save and close, then open up the tabloid doc and update the links. In fact, unless you've changed the way your install of ID is set up, then the moment you open the tabloid doc, it should ask you if you want to update your out-of-date links.

Text document for After Effect Cs4

I never open the After Effects CS4 but it is amazing....
For the beginning, want to try Animatin Text but couldn't created the Text document.
when i created the Text from Photoshop and import to After Effects then it will show " transform" not " Text".
How can i create the Text document for After Effects....????
thanks for reading and little help Please

I do quite a bit of Text Animation in both AE and Premiere Pro, and just create my images in PS. In my case, I am working with SD (Standard Def) DVD Projects in NTSC-land, so I will use the New Image, and then choose the NTSC 720 x 480 Preset, choosing either the Standard 4:3, or Widescreen 16:9 w/ Guides, and then add my various Text Layers, per normal. The layout of my Text Layers will depend on what and how I want to animate my image. Then, I do a Save_As PSD, to be Imported into AE or PrPro. For animations I want the Layers, so I will choose Import_as_a_Sequence in PrPro, so that each Layer is a separate Clip.
In your case, the New Image Preset might differ, depending on exactly what your Frame Size is, in AE. Plan that out first, so that you match the AE Comp's specs. with your new Image.
If you are gong to TV, you might want to use the Title Safe and Action Safe Guides in that New Image, as they will help keep your Text within any overscan area for CRT TV's (and still some HD TV's).
Good luck,
Hunt

It's really a little difficult to answer your question without a bit more information. What version of JDeveloper are you using? What's your technology stack?
If this is JDeveloper 11+g+, with the Fusion technology stack, you can use a technique like the one described here:
http://groundside.com/blog/GrantRonald.php?title=jdeveloper_11_business_services_cascadin&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
If it's JDeveloper 10.1.3, with the default Web technology stack, look here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html#62
If, as it looks like, this is really a question about generic JSPs (no JSF), you might actually have a bit more success on a generic JSP forum--using scriptlets hasn't really been best practices within JDev since...well, since JSTL became available, really. That was a number of years ago.
Like I said, there's really no direct way to use Javascript output in a scriptlet--unless you mean something like storing Javascript output in a hidden field, and using the value in a scriptlet on the next request. But by the time Javascript runs, any scriptlet from the current request will already have executed.

Adding Comment for XML output

How to add comment in xml output.
I have to replace the default comment in the xml output.
If i use SRW.ADD_DEFINITION, Its not working.
Can any on guide me through this to achieve it.

i have written the following code in after parameter form. In the data model i am selecting empno and empname. Now i have to generate an xml which has the comment "Internal purpose only". I have to dynamically change the tag names also. But this code throws an error
REP-0069:Internal error
REP-57054: In-Process job terminated:Terminated with error
REP-866648059:Error in the xml report definition at line 3 in

Master Document for .XML entries in Nakisa Succession Planning 2.1

Hi all
Is there a master document(s) that I can download as to which entries needs to be maintained in the different .XML files controlling the Nakisa applications, especially Succession Planning is of interes.
I have alot of Zxxx-relationship that needs to be changed to relationships in the 74*-range, however I'm uncertain as to all the places relationship and objects should be replaced in the .XML documents.
The situation is that we started with a stand-alone Nakisa application and is now porting to the EHP4-supported version.
Best regards
Jakob

Hi Jakob,
I'm afraid there are no such guides. You will need to either engage with a consultancy with Nakisa skills, engage with Nakisa themselves or try and figure it out yourself. If you want some help on finding a suitable consultancy we can speak offline and I could point you in the right direction of someone in your region.
If you decided to try it yourself I would take a look at the downloadSchema.xml in the XML folder as this is where all configuration for Live data retrieval is contained.
Good luck!

Functions needed in Data Template for XML output

Hi ,
Are there any oracle functions like abs() available
in data_template to be used as follows
group name="listItem" source="Q2">
<element name="amount" value="abs(amount)"/>
<element name="serialNumber" value="TXN_SERIAL_NO"/>
I want the absolute value of the amount .
OR
Can I HIDE the xml Element like
<element name="amount" value="amount"/> (i want to hide this tag in output?)
Please do not suggest to do the same in the SQL query as I am using the SQL query to do something else and resolve another issue.
rdgs
xyz

You can do this abs in Template.
use xdoxslt:abs or abs from xsl.
if you want the data in the xml to habe absolute value , then write pl/sql package to this .
<element name="amount" value="yourpcakage.yourabs(amount)"/>
or do it in sql query, which you dont want to.

Random file name for xml output

Hi:
You know how when you're in design mode and select PDF preview, then click an email submit XML data button it assigns a random number as the XML file name? How can I set that same thing up when a user clicks the submit button from the web site? The default it assigns is the name of the pdf form.
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Ginger

Virginia,
The email submit button can only do what you described in your message.
- The random file name generated in PDF preview is because you are in the design mode (not everyone has the working xpd file saved when he/she does a PDF preview. This results in a random file _x3432gd4343.xml is generated. It could have been called untitle1.xml if the product developers decide to do so).
- When you open a PDF file (which has a name) in acrobat, the PDF filename is being used for the email attachment.

Hierachical reports for xml output

Hi,
is there a way to get a SQL result set for the xml export with more than 1 level ?
For example:
SELECT dname, empno, ename
FROM emp, dept
WHERE emp.deptno = dept.deptno
will give me the following xml when being exported:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DNAME>ACCOUNTING</DNAME>
<EMPNO>7839</EMPNO>
<ENAME>KING</ENAME>
<JOB>PRESIDENT</JOB>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DNAME>ACCOUNTING</DNAME>
<EMPNO>7782</EMPNO>
<ENAME>CLARK</ENAME>
<JOB>MANAGER</JOB>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DNAME>ACCOUNTING</DNAME>
<EMPNO>7934</EMPNO>
<ENAME>MILLER</ENAME>
<JOB>CLERK</JOB>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DNAME>RESEARCH</DNAME>
<EMPNO>7566</EMPNO>
<ENAME>JONES</ENAME>
<JOB>MANAGER</JOB>
</ROW>
But the depts should be considered as seperate groups, to get the correct hierarchy:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DEPT>
<DNAME>ACCOUNTING</DNAME>
<EMP><EMPNO>7839</EMPNO><ENAME>KING</ENAME><JOB>PRESIDENT</JOB></EMP>
<EMP><EMPNO>7782</EMPNO><ENAME>CLARK</ENAME><JOB>MANAGER</JOB></EMP>
<EMP><EMPNO>7934</EMPNO><ENAME>MILLER</ENAME><JOB>CLERK</JOB></EMP>
</DEPT>
</ROW>
Someone here who had similar problems ?
Thanks,
Jochen

Hello,
You could just run it through an XSLT after download to fix it up exactlly how you want it.
Or call an On Demand Process that builds out the XML exactly how you want it.
there is an example of me building out xml here and getting it from a link (it's a svg graphic but the concept is exactly the same) http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:90

Designer 9i - nested DDL structure not executable for XML

To support an XML data transfer, we need to define types,collections, and tables. When we define a table that references types and collections, we do not get adequate DDL from Designer 9i that identifies all of the nested structures, and the DDL that is generated is not executable. We can manually type the DDL and specify the appropriate nesting. We have done that, executed that successfully. We have then reverse engineered this table into Designer 9i, and requested DDL from it. The resulting DDL is not executable. Has anyone run into this problem?

Designer 9i does not support these complex datatypes, hence your errors.

Output type for XML in ECC - XI conversion?

Hi,
I ahve few queries regarding the PO o/p sent from ECC for XML output type...
I header XML is supported in ECC from EHP4..is this true?
If PO from ECC need to be sent out via XML,the output configuration for ECC PO's need to be changed also?
Also if PO o/p needs to be sent EDI or XML,my understanding is XI will be mandatory for PO to be sent to supplier system.Can you pls confirm.
Also when we say PO is sent via EDI(idoc) or XML,is there any difference in the data format/way in which data is sent to XI?If there any conversion happening on XI based on output type EDI or XML?
On ECC side,is XML one of the output type or we just ALE and EDI?

Error for fetching long text in xml tag for xml publisher report

My requirement is to fetch a large document which is in text format in XML output which can be printed in PDF format by using RTF method to generate PDF.But during XML ouput i got the following error-
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh
button, or try again later.
The following tags were not closed: XXBG_EAMWRREP_V1, LIST_G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, LIST_G_MEDIA_ID1,
G_MEDIA...
XXBG_EAMWRREP_V1 is the rdf and LIST_G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, LIST_G_MEDIA_ID1, G_MEDIA are the groups name. In the group
G_MEDIA i am fetching long_text from attahcment in application. In Database table the datatype of the text attachment is 'long' and there is a huge text
data loaded in large data editor of that column. If the text data volume is small enough then there is no problem for fetching the xml output.
If we change the output format as HTMl then there is no problem for fetching the output for long text but for xml output format we are unable to fetch the data
in xml tag.
One thing to mention the oracle report is the copy of Maintenance Work Order Detail Report. The seeded report is HTML format in 11i. The requirement is to make it in xml report.
Please help.

Generating XML output

I relaize that SVGs would probably be a better approach to this problem, but I'm designing maps for the stages in a friend's Xbox360 platformer game. The game requires an XML document for each level describing the locations of the platforms. It's onerous to do this by hand, and I thought it would be nice to write a Photoshop script/plugin that just looks at certain layers and generates the XML file for you.
I know that the CS5 Javascript API has access to the "File" Javascript class, but are there any other pre-existing solutions that I could use to speed up writing the plugin? I didn't see anything for XML output, which isn't the end of the world, but I figured I'd ask just in case anybody knows any gotchas.

JS in PSCS5 has native XML support. Reading and writing XML files is trivial.
Here's a post with a script that writes out some basic layer info to an XML file:
http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2268
There are probably other examples floating around.
