About XML file operation

I want to get the configuration of my programme by reading the XML file.But I am not familiar with the class of handling XML file in java.Someone can give an example to me and simply explain.Thank you very much.

That link over at the left there, the one that says "Tutorials"? Follow it to a page full of tutorials. From that page follow the link to the tutorial about Web Services.

Problem about .xml file from PPro CS5 to FCP with RED and P2 file.

I have create a Project in Premiere Pro CS5.
I import the RED file R3D or P2 file XMF and editing my media.
From menù File i select Export to "Final Cut Pro XML.."
I open FCP and Import file XML but the media are not reconnect.
"Warrnig: Non-critical error were found while processing an XML document.
Would you like to see a log of these error now?"
I want see the log file and...
"<file>: Unable to attach specified media file to new clip."
Where is the problem?

Hi Dennis I re-format my MACPRO 8 Core and I installed Final Cut Studio Suite and CS5 Premium (no CS4)
I install Blackmagick driver Decklink 7.6.3
If I open the After Effects and setting preview card blackmagic, I see the preview in external monitor.
If I open the Premiere Pro and setting preview, I don't see the blackmagic card but the second monitor, DV....etc.
In Premiere I see the blackmagic preset, but no the preview card.
I have a second question.
About Red file I want editing in Premiere Pro and i whant color correct in Apple Color from FCP.
My problem is: my color program crash when I send file form FCP to Color (random mode)
The sequence is:
I import file red in PPro5 -- editing file --- export file xml.
Close the PPro5.
Open FCP import xml (no re-link media)
Save de project in FCP
Select sequence and send to Color.
In this moment the Apple Color crash.
I shutdown the MAC.
I power-up the MAC
Open FCP select the project and send the sequence to Color.
Color see the project but no media.
I re link the media and I editing in color my media.
Why Apple Color program crash?
Sorry for my English
Many Thanks

Access Denied error with basic XML file operations

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a basic read, write and delete code for XML files which I can build upon in the future. The three methods are bound to three buttons on the page and all three calls are awaited. Here's my code:
Write:
XElement uservarnodes = new XElement("uservars",
new XElement("uservar1", "1"),
new XElement("uservar2", "2"),
new XElement("uservar3", "3"),
new XElement("uservar4", "4"),
new XElement("uservar5", "5"),
new XElement("uservar6", "6"),
new XElement("uservar7", "7"),
new XElement("uservar8", "8"));
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var file = await local.CreateFileAsync("uservarfile.xml", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
var stream = await file.OpenAsync(Windows.Storage.FileAccessMode.ReadWrite);
using (var outputStream = stream.GetOutputStreamAt(0))
DataWriter mydataWriter = new DataWriter(outputStream);
mydataWriter.WriteString(uservarnodes.ToString());
await mydataWriter.StoreAsync();
await outputStream.FlushAsync();
Read (outputs the data to a textblock):
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var file = await local.GetFileAsync("uservarfile.xml");
string readtext = await Windows.Storage.FileIO.ReadTextAsync(file);
XElement uservarnodes = XElement.Parse(readtext);
txtTarget.Text = uservarnodes.ToString();
Delete:
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var file = await local.GetFileAsync("uservarfile.xml");
await file.DeleteAsync(StorageDeleteOption.PermanentDelete);
When I tap each of the buttons once it all seems to work. But when I tap any of the buttons again within the same debug session I get an Access denied exception (E_ACCESSDENIED). Other people with this error had to await when calling their method, but I'm
already doing that: private async void btnWrite_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { await WriteToXMLFile(); }, etc.
And the intervals between my taps isn't that short that you'd expect that the previously called method still had not finished completing. I don't understand why I'm getting the access denied error.
Related to my question: I have added XML to the File Type Associations, File Open Picker and File Save Picker in the appxmanifest, but somewhere I read that you do not need to do this if you're working with local app data only. Is this true?

var stream = await file.OpenAsync(Windows.Storage.FileAccessMode.ReadWrite);
I think because of your file stream hasn't been closed.
by the way, it can be easier by using System.IO.OpenStreamForWriteAsync extension method
async public static Task<bool> SaveTextFileAsync(string filename, string data)
byte[] fileBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data);
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var file = await local.CreateFileAsync(filename, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
try
using (var s = await file.OpenStreamForWriteAsync())
s.Write(fileBytes, 0, fileBytes.Length);
return true;
catch
return false;
(need using System.IO namespace)

Basic doubt about XML file generation

Hi,
I am new to Java. I am facing some trouble designing and implementing a particular problem involving XML files.
Problem:
I have an XML file which contains a set of properties and their default value. What I need to do is to read another file/stream which will have name=value strings and then, for all the names that I find there, change default value to current value. These names can appear in any order. For example,
<name1 value=default1/>
<name2 value=default2/>
<name3 value=default3/>
And I will get something like "set name3=value3 name1=value1" (This data comes to me from a stream -usb device- and not from a file). Then I should change it to
<name1 value=value1/>
<name2 value=default2/>
<name3 value=value3/>
What is the best possible way to do this in Java? This has to go into an embedded system so it will be nice if it can be done with minimum memory and less processing power.
I am currently reading J2EEtutorial (1.4). I have not read much. But I am confused if I should be using SAX, DOM or XSLT. To speak the truth, I don't even know the difference between all those. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Suseelan

Use a DOM parser to parse the original XML.
DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder domBuilder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = domBuilder.parse( inputStreamToFile );Then read in the contents from your USB stream into say an array or Vector. Then go through each child node in the domBuilder class, get the nodes name and see if it's in the Vector of objects from the USB stream. If it is, then replace the "Value" attribute in the dom node with what is in the Vector.
Make sense?

Question about XML file transferring over the networking

Hi, I am now to Java, and now I am going to set up a simple network in the lab.
I have created a random array of data and transferred to XML file on my client. Now, I would like to send it to the server. I am wondering how I can put the XML file into my client, and do I need any parser to let the server show what random date it has received?
Anybody can give me any idea or some basic code? Thank you.
Now, I am referring the KnockKnock example in Java online tutorial. But, not clear how to deal with the XML File.

XML files from ABAP programs

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in ABAP to output XML files? Pls. send code/ function module if any.
From ABAP programs, we are sure that we can output TEXT files, but how about XML files?
The significance of this question is related
Currently we are using XI to interface SAP and AMS, this question for ABAP to produce XML file arose, if for example, the XI server is down and we have to still send data from one system to another. IDocs can also produce XML files, pls confirm. Earlier however, we have preferred XI rather than IDocs to do this. Anyway, any idea regarding this scenario will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!

A few questions about using an XML file to add text into a TextArea component set as html

I'm using AS2 in Flash CS3.
I have a TextArea component in the stage that's loading its text from an XML and I've been able to use the ul and li tags to create lists. However, when I try to include a nested list it just inserts a line break between the nested list and the main list rather than indent it further. Is there a solution for this issue?
Failing that, how would I be able to add non-breaking spaces into the XML so they will render inside the TextArea component? I've tried and   without success. I scoured the net for some help with this and found some information about modifying the font embedding xml file with a new entry for the non-breaking space and that didn't work either, so that leaves me somewhat stumped.

flash doesn't handle nested lists (as you now know). you can work-around that limitation using css and creating your own indent styles. css have a marginLeft property you can use.

Operations on XML file

Hi,
Is there any API in flex, that allows us to do operations on a XML file, like, adding new tags, searching for a particular tag, modifying a particular tag(s) deleting a particular tag(s) etc.

Consider using JSON to put the data in a MySQL database:

Parsing error about "FF FE" in xml file

dear all
here is my code
DocumentBuilderFactory factory= DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false);
DocumentBuilder builder= factory.newDocumentBuilder();
builder.setErrorHandler(new MyErrorHandler());
Document doc= builder.parse(new File(IFName));
//dont work ,too.
//Document doc=builder.parse(new InputSource(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(new File(IFName)), "UTF-16LE")));
parseNode(doc.getDocumentElement());when i was parsing the xml make by c#
the xml file is like this
・ｿ<Space><Region name="NorthAmerica"><Route name="TR24" color="blue"><Operation trainnum="980"><Company>Jupiter Railroad Corp.</Company><TrainStyle>Silver</TrainStyle></Operation><Stations><Start>NorthAmerica08</Start><End>NorthAmerica12</End></Stations></Route><Route name="TR39" color="black"><Operation trainnum="321"><Company>Earth Railroad Corp.</Company><TrainStyle>Express</TrainStyle></Operation><Stations><Start>NorthAmerica17</Start><End>NorthAmerica01</End></Stations></Route><Route name="TR52" color="black"><Operation trainnum="627"><Company>Sun Railroad Corp.</Company><TrainStyle>Plain</TrainStyle></Operation><Stations><Start>NorthAmerica19</Start><End>NorthAmerica37</End></Stations></Route><Route name="TR53" color="blue"><Operation trainnum="173"><Company>Neptune Railroad Corp.</Company><TrainStyle>Fast</TrainStyle></Operation><Stations><Start>NorthAmerica24</Start><End>NorthAmerica38</End></Stations></Route><Route name="TR82" color="yellow"><Operation trainnum="986"><Company>Saturn Railroad Corp.</Company><TrainStyle>Silver</TrainStyle></Operation><Stations><Start>NorthAmerica32</Start><End>NorthAmerica20</End></Stations></Route></Region></Space>u can see there is a funny character before the root element
if change to ascii mode , i can see the FF FE code;
i found that FF FE means the UTF-16 Little Endian.
and my parser code will make an exception like SAXParseException: missing document root element
is there any nice solution for this problem?
if i use
SAXTransformerFactory tFactory;
TransformerHandler transformerH;
Transformer transformer;
tFactory= (SAXTransformerFactory)SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance();
transformerH= tFactory.newTransformerHandler();
transformer= transformerH.getTransformer();
FileWriter out= new FileWriter(OFName);
StreamResult result= new StreamResult(out);
transformerH.setResult(result);to make my xml file in java without setting specific properties
it will make the same xml like C#,a FF FE at the file beginning.
best regards.

Okay, this reply has been a real long time in coming, but I just had a similar situation. I have an XML file I need to edit with a Java program. A third-party program that I have no control over uses the file, so the XML file must remain compatible. For my needs, the DOM model in the JAXP package seemed like the best solution. As a plus, I also have SAX support built in.
Here is the self-contained program.

Where I could get more detail information about generating xml files

Hi Tim
I am a oracle employee. Our project try to use XML Publisher to generate XML files. But there is so little information about this in the XML Publihser Developer Guide.
It is that any more detail java examples about how to generate xml files using XML publisher. Or some detail java API.
XML Publisher use which method to generate the xml files?
Thank you very much!!

The easiest way is to create an oracle report, switch the output to xml and format using XML publisher. That has worked well for us in most cases.
Good luck,
Brett

Hi guys,
Sybrand, aplogoies, the second line of the error stack was on one line in the first post, full error stack below:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 716
ORA-06512: at "JLMS.LOAD_DATA_UTIL", line 417
ORA-06512: at line 2I have looked at that error code as you mentioned, but the second line here doesn't really help much.
Hoek, i took your advice and tried to replace FILEOPEN with OPEn but got the same error.
Just to clarify as well, I am not using UNC or relative file paths as I know that these can cause problems.

An example about how to load a XML file

Hi,
I've been working on Oracle for many years but fot the first time I was asked to load a XML file into a table.
As an example, I've found this on the web, but it doesn't work.
Can someone tell me why? I hoped this example could help me.
the file acct.xml is this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>100</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>check</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>2</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>3</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic administration</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>4</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>5</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>500</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>process exception</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>20</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>30</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>40</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>50</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
For the two tags HEADER and DETAILS I have the table:
create table xxrp_acct_details(
status_code number,
status_remarks varchar2(100),
segment_number number,
remarks varchar2(100)
before I've created a
create directory test_dir as 'c:\esterno'; -- where I have my acct.xml
and after, can you give me a script for loading data by using XMLTABLE?
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
This should allow me to get something like this:
select * from xxrp_acct_details;
Statuscode status remarks segement remarks
100 check 2 rp polytechnic
100 check 3 rp polytechnic administration
100 check 4 rp polytechnic finance
100 check 5 rp polytechnic logistics
500 process exception 20 base polytechnic
500 process exception 30
500 process exception 40 base polytechnic finance
500 process exception 50 base polytechnic logistics
but I get:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 19, column 11:
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
ORA-06550: line 4, column 2:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
and if I try to change the script without using the column HEADER_NO o keep track of the header rank inside the document:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
passing acct_doc
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
I get this message:
Error report:
ORA-19114: error during parsing the XQuery expression:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 13:

My oracle version is 10gR2 Express Edition
I do need a script for loading xml files into a table as soon as possible
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Your code is not readable (no code tags).
Anyway, you can use SQL*Loader to load a XML document into a table.
Here is the link of the documentation with both description and an example at the end of the
article.

Use:
OracleXMLSave sav = new OracleXMLSave(conn,tabName);
sav.setDateFormat(<hier the date format in the XML-File>);

(newbie) Question about replacing .class files and web.xml file

I'm new to servlets and I have two quick questions...
Do I absolutely need a web.xml file to define all my servlets, or can I simply place .class files into the WEB-INF directory and expect them to run?
If my application server (for example Tomcat) is running and I replace a servlet .class file, do I need to restart the server for the new .class file to take effect?
...or are both of these questions specific to the application server I'm using?

Hi,
From an article I read:
With Tomcat 3.x, by default servlet container was set up to allow invoking a servet through a common mapping under the /servlet/ directory.
A servlet could be accessed by simply using an url like this one:
http://[domain]:[port]/[context]/servlet/[servlet full qualified name].
The mapping was set inside the web application descriptor (web.xml), located under $TOMCAT_HOME/conf.
With Tomcat 4.x the Jakarta developers have decided to stop allowing this by default. The <servlet-mapping> tag that sets this mapping up, has been commented inside the default web application descriptor (web.xml), located under $CATALINA_HOME/conf:


A developer can simply map all the servlet inside the web application descriptor of its own web application (that is highly suggested), or simply uncomment that mapping (that is highly discouraged).
It is important to notice that the /servlet/ isn't part of Servlet 2.3 specifications so there are no guarantee that the container will support that. So, if the developer decides to uncomment that mapping, the application will loose portabiliy.
And declangallagher, I will use caution in future :-)

Query about reentrant in ejb-jar.xml file(in case of entity Bean)

Hi all friends,
I am new to EJB I couldn't understand in ejb-jar.xml file in case Entity Bean[<reentrant>False</reentrant>
&<reentrant>true</reentrant>]what is the function of this tag and what is the effect of value true and false of this tag.Can any one please explain it.
Regards
Bikash

Hi,
Re-entrant tag is used in the ejb-jar.xml to notify the container if you would want your bean to call itself through another bean.
Most of the time you would want it to be set to FALSE because you would have to consider the multi-threading issues if you set it TRUE.
