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);

Reading xml data from url and insert into table

CREATE TABLE url_tab2
URL_NAME VARCHAR2(100),
URL SYS.URIType
INSERT INTO url_tab2 VALUES
(’This is a test URL’,
sys.UriFactory.getUri(’http://www.domain.com/test.xml’)
it is giving error as invalid character

Check if your single quotes are the correct single quotes.
The principle works as advertised in the XMLDB Developers Guide...

Reading XML Data from ABAP Program?

Hi,
How do I read XML Data from an ABAP Program? For example if I have the below basic XML Code-
<xml>
<Name> Thiru </Name>
<Age> 24 </Age>
<City> chennai </Chennai>
</xml>
How do i read the data within the Name,Age, and City tags into variables in the ABAP Program?
Regards,
Thiru

if you decide to do in XSLT, I have a sample list here:
XML file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<F>
<P1>
<t_1>value1</t_1>
<t_2>testvalue</t_2>
</P1>
<P2>
</P2>
</F>
XSLT file like this:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sapxsl="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="F">
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<DOCUMENT>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</DOCUMENT>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="P1">
<ENTRY>
<T_1><xsl:value-of select="t_1"/></T_1>
<T_2><xsl:value-of select="t_2"/></T_2>
</ENTRY>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
ABAP program like this:
DATA: BEGIN OF wa_upload,
text(255) TYPE c,
END OF wa_upload,
itab_upload LIKE TABLE OF wa_upload,
BEGIN OF wa_document,
t_1 TYPE string,
t_2 TYPE string,
END OF wa_document,
itab_document LIKE TABLE OF wa_document.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = 'XXXXX'
filetype = 'ASC'
TABLES
data_tab = itab_upload.
CALL TRANSFORMATION zrappel_xml_test
SOURCE XML itab_upload
RESULT document = itab_document.
You should pay attention to the bold words.
hope it will be helpful
thanks

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

JAXB: Read XML data from a String?

Hi,
I get XML data not from file but as a string and I wanted to use JAXB to parse it and get my Java Objects.
The unmarshall methods wants an "InputStream", but "StringBufferInputStream" is deprecated, so that I don't know a way to use my String as InputStream.
Can someone give me a hint other then writing the data in a file first?

Hi FrankSch,
The unmarshall methods wants an "InputStream", but
"StringBufferInputStream" is deprecated, so that I
don't know a way to use my String as InputStream.
Can someone give me a hint other then writing the data
in a file first?Yes, the class StringBufferInputStream is deprecated, and the deprecation notice reads:
Deprecated. This class does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to create a stream from a string is via the StringReader class.
The JDK API usually mentions an alternative to the deprecated method/class and in this case, you should use java.io.StringReader. It has one constructor and should suite you nicely:
StringReader(String s) That way, you get an InputStream object; you can now use JAXB.
Hope this helps,

Read XML data from file

Hello!
I have data in an xml file which i want to read into my program. The problem is i do not want to parse the whole file at once, but in sequece, maybe in to or three sequences. In other words i want to parse the frist part of the file, and then the next sequence.
Is this possible and how? I use a SAXParser right now, but it parses the whole file at once. Examles and refrences to java api is appreciated
Best Regards
Yoshi

Ok!
the problem is not to call the function several times, but that the function parse in SAXParser parses the whole xml file at once, so im not sure how a switch case loop is going to help me, maybe you could clarify a little.
The data in the xml file contains history im going to read into the program, simulating progress. each root element contains a progress. So i want to read one element at a time everey time i call the parse function or a function containing the SAXParse function
like this
<datafile>
<loggfile>
<time>10:11</time>
<data>12323></data>
</loggfile>
<loggfile>
<time>10:12</time>
<data>12424</data>
</loggfile>
</datafile>
best regards

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.

Hello,
The requirement is to read Bank Exchange Rates from the website,

Please let me know what am I doing wrong, or if there are some configurations that need to be done. Thanks in advance.
P.S: Deserving Answers will be given points.

Hi,
i make it in this way:
CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_GET'
    EXPORTING
      ABSOLUTE_URI          = URI
      RFC_DESTINATION       = 'SAPHTTP' "s. THTTP PräsenServer
     RFC_DESTINATION       = 'SAPHTTPA' "s. THTTP AppliServer
      BLANKSTOCRLF          = 'Y'
in URI is the webaddress.
It works OK.
Is there the correct entry in table THTTP?

Read/write xml data from/to adobe livecycle forms (pdf)

Hello,
I need some help reading xml data from pdfs created by Adobe LiveCycle and also writing xml data back to the form.
The forms have been created using PROD LC 8.2 and in the future they will be created using PROD LC 9.5.
I am using Visual Basic .NET to access the data programatically.
Can anyone help me with some hints? A library, SDK? Any information would be very helpful.
I am quite new with this Electronic Forms issue and I do not even know where to start.
Thank you,
Ionel

Hi lonel,
Do you want an online solution?
I mean, it follows this workflow:
1. The user will open the PDF by clicking a link, and a server-side program will generate the PDF and prepopulate it with data from some data sources, and render the PDF to the client (Browser),
2. The user will fill the PDF.
3. The user will click a Submit button and save the PDF and Data on the server.
4. If the user wants to edit the Submitted Form, he will click a link to open the save PDF and possibly prepopulate some fields with data from other data sources, and complete the cycle of filling and saved the PDF and Data on the server.
5. While the user is filling the PDF (inside a Browser), there might be a need to perform some lookup on the server, and update the form parts accordingly as a result of the lookup process.
For 1-4 above, I have developed a complete base library using ASP.NET which helps you to perform the above.
You can goto my Google Workspace and you will find a bunch of documents, sample PDFs, collections and VB Classes. To best view them, login using some Google Account.
For point 4 above, one way to perform this effect, is to regenerate the required XML Data (which has the saved data before and the new lookup data), remerge the entire XML result with and empty PDF Form, and render the XFA (PDF Form) back to the client. But, if the PDF has one or more signatures, it will not work. So, in this case, you can update the Form Fields of a Saved PDF Form with new Data from the server, but the net effect is that you will have to loose all the signatures that were added on the PDF before.
For 5 (above) there are 3 methods:
1. Using a Web Service as a Data Connection. This is very easy if you have a traditional Web Service. I have used this method several times and will use it again if the need be. But, there is a problem. If the result of the Web Service is an Array of some Data, and you want to remerge the XFA to get the required effect after executing the web service ... and ... if there are some Drop-Down-List (DDL) fields, the bindings of the DDL Items of those fields will be lost. But, you can rebuild them (on enter event of the DDL Field) if you have saved them in the embedded XML Data.
2. You can update few (not many) fields while the PDF is opened (under the Browser via IFRAME) by passing the new field values using the URL Query String method. I have not done this, but I like this method, and I think it is cool. You need to write a server side code to ensure the the new filed values are passed back to the client using the correct URL with the Query String, and you need to write some javascript code inside the PDF to parse the URL and get the new field values and update them accordingly. See this as an example:
http://www.halnesbitt.com/pages/pdfqs.php
3. This method is very advanced and uses message communication ques between the Browser and the PDF (which is opened inside IFRAME element) using HostContainer object. This method will enable 2-way communication between the Browser and the PDF on the client side using javascript. I'd love to use this method one day. See example here:
http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Browser2PDF/brwsr2acroJS.htm
I hope this will be of help to you.
Tarek.

I'm trying to read some XML data from temperature logger over my network. I'm using LabView version 2009 sp1. I'm using the URL Get Document Vi. It works fine when using Internet sites like google or foxnews etc...

I'm trying to read some XML data from temperature logger over my network. I'm using LabView version 2009 sp1. I'm using the URL Get Document Vi. It works fine when using Internet sites like google or foxnews etc...
When I use it with my temperature logger most of the time I get an Error 66...but some times it does work and actually retrieves the document.
I can use the same address "http://172.22.21.68/XMLfeed.rb" (Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) in my browser and get a response every time. When accessing from my browser the server in the temperature logger does take around 6 seconds to respond, but it does respond every time.
Is the URL Get Document Vi exceeding a timeout? If so, where can I set it to wait longer?

Error 66.jpg ‏183 KB

It looks like the TCP Buffered Read has a 2.5 sec timeout, I believe that is where I had trouble as well. Try creating your own URL Get HTTP Doc vi in which you call URL Get Document in normal mode, with an appropriate number of characters to fetch (enough characters so that you capture all the important data in the XML file).

Can not read data from URL!

Hello,
I want to read data from URL (http://84.100.130.82:8000/;stream.nsv). But can not do it. Because when try to call function openDataInputStream() shows this error: java.io.IOException: response does not start with HTTP it starts with: ICY. How I can fix this bug?
HttpConnection c = null;
InputStream is = null;
OutputStream os = null;
StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
String response,

c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(“http://84.100.130.82:8000/;stream.nsv”);
os = c.openOutputStream();
os.flush();
is = c.openDataInputStream(); // ERROR CODE HERE
int ch;
// receive output
while ((ch = is.read()) != -1)
b.append((char) ch);
response = b.toString();Regards, Ramunas

Hi, I�m trying to do the same as above, get MP3 from a Shoutcast server.
I got the same fault ("response does not start with HTTP it starts with: ICY") when I tried to open an HttpConnection as bellow:
============================================
HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open("http://64.236.34.196/stream/1074");
Then I tried to open a socket connection as bellow:
======================================
SocketConnection conn = (SocketConnection) Connector.open("socket://64.236.34.196:80");
String get = "GET /stream/1074 HTTP/1.1";
DataOutputStream os = conn.openDataOutputStream();
os.writeUTF(get);
InputStream is = conn.openInputStream();
But then I got the following error:
=========================

Could someone help me to find out what is going on?
Thanks a lot!
