Proxy service reading from XML file..

Hey all - i am a newbie here.
my project need is to access a xml file, retrieve its content by a proxy service and send its contents to client back.
Do i need to use java callout / MFL transformation? If yes, how?
I do not wish to make use of any corresponding business service for this purpose. Is above possible without using a business service? If yes then how?
Please help me out..!!
Thanks and Regards,
Swapnil K.

Hi Swapnil K.
do the following
1. Create an XML file registered as an XQuery resource like below:
<mapping>
<row>
<key>key1</key>
<value>value1</value>
</row>
<row>
<key>key2</key>
<value>value2</value>
</row>
</mapping>
2. create a simple soap proxy based on your wsdl I assume it would have only one operation with in parameter keyParam and one return paramter rerturnValue
3. add a pipeline pair and create an assing action to the variable rerturnValue assigning the follwing value
$mapping/row[key/text()=$keyParam]/value/text()
where $mapping is your eternal xml resource and $keyParam is the input parameter of your wsdl method.
by doing so you can modify your xml mapping without touching your proxy.
4. in the response pipe of your pipeline pair populate the $body with the appropriate wsdl reponse message containing the value of the rerturnValue varaible

Tony

Reading from XML file is too slow

I am trying to read some values from XML file, it takes about 1 or 2 minutes to finish reading, my xml file has about 4000 xml elements. Does anyone know this is normal or something wrong? How could make it faster?
Thank you

fine if it helps others... i hope NI will not be angry *fg*
thx for your bug-report, i do not test the sub.vi until now.
exchange the OR with an AND, solves the problem with the endless-loop, but error checking will not work (the loop only stops if no error AND no start-tag is found)
changing the loop termination condition and putting the NOT from the error condition to the no_starttag_flag do both. correctly stops the loop when error occurs OR no further elements found.
i attached the new sub.vi for version 7.0 and 7.1, also but some colors in the logo, for your convinience

Reading from XML File to Oracle

hello,
I am facing an issue.
I have an xml file which i want to read into an Oracle dB.
for ex
<user>
<user1 ident="1" />
<user2 ident="2" />
</user>
I would want to pick those attributes and insert them into the dB. i have been hunting high and low, but not reached anywhere.
The reason, i am using the xml file is, that the user enters values from 3 forms and those values are stored in the xml file. Now, i want to insert these values in the database.
Any help/suggestion are welcomed and appreciated.
Thank You
Sean

Reading from XML file and updating the table ????

Hi
I have package which reads the hier.XML file and does Update inserts into the 5 tables
i have table called MAIN_tbl with the column cur_date.
The package kicks if this cur_date is one day less than the hier.XML file DT.
Currently i m manually checking this date's to make sure the Main_tbl cur_date is n sync with
hier.XML file DT.
for example :- hier.xml file DT is "20091020" then main_table cur_date should be 10/19/2009
in order to kicks of the pakage.
what i m looking to do ??
compare the hier.xml DT with the main_table cur_date,
if cur_date is -1(Preivous day) of hier.xml DT then run hier_pkg(Package)
if not then update main_table cur_date to -1(previous day) of the hier.xml DATE
Then later write the above logic to update the main_table in a procedure, and
then call the package from the procedure.
below are the top few lines of the hier.XML file which is relevant to the one which we are trying to do
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<HIER_POSTING num ="111" HIER_TYP="CD" DT="20091020" Global="Y">
FYI : The hier.XML file is located in UNIX space.
How do i accomplish this. any idea ????
Thank you so much in advance. For giving a thought on this problem!!!

Any thought on this guys ???
Thanks!!

Trouble with multiline text box reading from xml file

Hi,
I have a text area, set to multiline. For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box. So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off. please help!
Thanks,
Stan

Reading A xml file and sending that XML Data as input to a Service

Hi All,
I have a requirement to read(I am using File adapter to read) a xml file and map the data in that xml to a service(schema) input variable.
Example of xml file that I have to read and the content of that xml file like below:
<StudentList>
    <student>
       <Name> ravi</Name>
       <branch>EEE</branch>
      <fathername> raghu</fathername>
    </student>
<student>
       <Name> raju</Name>
       <branch>ECE</branch>
      <fathername> ravi</fathername>
    </student>
<StudentList>
I have to pass the data(ravi,EEE,raghu etc) to a service input varible. That invoked Service input variable(schema) contains the schema similar to above schema.
My flow is like below:
ReadFile file adapter -------------------> BPEL process -----> Target Service.I am using transform activity in BPEL process to map the data from xml file to Service.
I am using above xml file as sample in Native Data format(to create XSD schema file).
After I built the process,I checked file adapter polls the data and receive the file(I am getting View xml document in EM console flow).
But transform activity does not have anything and it is not mapping the data.I am getting blank data in the transform activity with only element names like below
---------------------------------------------------------------------------EM console Audit trail (I am giving this because u can clearly understand what is happening-----------------------------------------------------
   -ReceiveFile
        -some datedetails      received file
          View XML document (This xml contains data and structure like above xml )
    - transformData:
        <payload>
          <InvokeService_inputvariable>
              <part name="body">
                 <StudentList>
                     <student>
                       <name/>
                        <branch/>
                        <fathername/>
                     </student>
               </StudentList>
          </part>
         </InvokeService_inputvariable>
'Why I am getting like this".Is there any problem with native data format configuration.?
Please help me out regarding this issue as I am running out my time.

Hi syam,
Thank you very much for your replies so far so that I have some progrees in my task.
As you told I could have put default directory in composite.xml,but what happenes is the everyday new final subdirectory gets created in the 'soafolder' folder.What I mean is in the c:/soafolder/1234_xmlfiles folder, the '1234_xmlfiles' is not manually created one.It is created automatically by executing some jar.
Basically we can't know the sub folder name until it is created by jar with its own logic. whereas main folder is same(soafolder) ever.
I will give you example with our folder name so that it would be more convenient for us to understand.
1) yesterday's the folder structure : 'c:/soafolder/130731_LS' .The '130731_LS' folder is created automatically by executing some jar file(it has its own logic to control and create the subdirectories which is not in our control).
2) Today's folder structure : 'c:/soafolder/130804_LS. The folder is created automatically(everytime the number part(130731,130804).I think that number is indicating 2013 july 31 st like that.I have to enquire about this)is changing) at a particular time and xml files will be loaded in the folder.
Our challenge : It is not that we can put the default or further path in composite.xml and poll the file adapter.Not everytime we have to change the path in composite.xml.The process should know the folder path (I don't know whether it is possible or not.) and everyday and file adapter poll the files in that created subfolders.
I hope you can understand my requirement .Please help me out in this regard.

File Adapter and reading all XML files from direcotry

Problem occurs on PI 7.1
I defined sender file adapter. File name mask is: "*.xml" to read all XML messages from directory.
Quality of service is: Exactly One.
Poll Interval: 30
Retry interval: 30
Processing mode: Archive with option "Add Timestamp".
Processing sequence: by name.
I though that with above configuration my File Adapter will be reading folder for all coming XML files. But somehow it is reading XMLs only when I'm activating it in Integration Builder.
Any idea what can cause such strange problem?

Hi Tomasz,
As per my understanding, you need to activate the file adapter for reading the XML files on your directory. Right?
If that is the case, then the issue might be with the Cache.
1. Clear the cache from the Integration Builder.
2. Check in SXI_CACHE whether there are any issues. Click on Delta Cache refresh to find out if there are any cache related issues.
Thanks,

Reading an xml file from a jar file

Short question:
Is it possible to read an xml file from a jar file when the dtd is
placed inside the jar file? I am using jdom (SAXBuilder) and the default
sax parser which comes with it.
Long Question:
I am trying to create an enterprise archive file on Weblogic 6.1. We
have a framework that is similar to the struts framework which uses it's
own configuration files
I could place the dtd files outside the jar ear file and specify the
absolute path in an environment variable in web.xml which is
configurable through the admin console.
But I want to avoid this step and specify a relative path within the jar
file.
I have tried to use a class which implements the entityresolver as well
as try to extend the saxparser and set the entity resolver within this
class explicitly, but I always seem to sun into problems like:
The setEntityresolver method does not get called or there is a
classloader problem. i.e. JDOM complains that it cannot load My custom
parser which is part of the application
Vijay

Please contact the main BEA Support team [email protected]
They will need to check with product support to determine
the interoperatablity of Weblogic Server with these other
products.

Reading an xml file from jar

I have an xml file in a jar file other than the class that needs to read it. Most of teh posts I've seen reccomend using class.getResource to get access to the jar, but since the file is in a different jar this wont work.
I load classes using URLClassLoader and explicitely access the class I need from a specific jar by creating a url thusly....
jar:file:/" + workingDirectory + "/folder/jarfile.jar!/specificfolder/specificfile.class"
Is there a similar thing for reading an xml file for a jar?

Have you tried:
"jar:file:/" + workingDirectory + "/folder/jarfile.jar!/specificfolder/specificfile.xml"
