Access XML files from HTTP

Hi,
I need access XML file from HTTP. Server need parameters in the URL to generate XML files. For example, http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321.
I created a XML Data Server in ODI 11g. The JDBC Url should be jdbc:snps:xml?f=<filename>&s=<schema>&d=<DTD>.
However, it reports error when replaced the <filename> with "http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321".
I found it's caused by ampersand of the HTTP Url. I guess ODI treat custid=321 as JDBC parameter rather than HTTP parameter.
How to fill the JDBC Url in this situation?
Thanks,

i solved my problem by using the Socket object and controlling my file access by writing requests to the outputstream

  • Accessing XML files through java

    Can any one explain me the easiest way of accessing XML files from Java.

    Hi,
    If you want to only access the XML file, use the SAX parser It will be very easy to handle and identify the element and value.
    else if u want to change the XML value also, then better go with DOM, Which has very good flexiblity.
    use according to the need, let me know if any help is required......

    (I know it describes call to SAP XI server's URL, but it can be used to call any URL)

    In addition to all above, following configs to be present at ABAP application server: -
    1. The hostname used to URL should be present in SAP ABAP application server's 'hosts' file.
    2. Security certificate (if available) for URL to be called must be installed in SAP ABAP application server.
    Let me know if you achieve any progress with it...

  • AIR application request a xml file from a server (but only legal users)

    Hello guys
    I am conceptualizing a project at the moment and I am thinking of using Adobe AIR to develop the application related to that project.
    But it depends on the ability of AIR to fulfill my project requirements.
    I want your ideas, please...
    Imagine, I finished developing my application and compiled the distributed version using Adobe AIR.
    And I am going to distribute the installation files of the intended application by burning on to a CD.
    Imagine, the user who got that CD, installed it it on his computer and launched the application.
    When the application is running, it needs to load a XML file which is saved in our company server.
    Since it is an important data file I don't want to dispatch it with the installation CD.
    So I am thinking of using URLRequest and URLLoader classes to load this XML file from server dynamically.
    Lets imagine I did codes like this....
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mycompany.com/sereverfolder/blabla.xml");
    request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.load(request);
    But my question is, how safe hardcoding the path for the xml file in the class file as shown above.
    Can anyone get access to xml file path by looking into installation files dispatched via CD?
    Or is there any other safer way to do this?
    Thank you for taking time to read my question and please add your input if you would like to share your knowledge.
    cheers

  • Is there anyway to create a xml file from a list so that xml file is available like an RSS.xml

    Hello
    My objective is to have a xml file created from a list for anonymous access.  The SharePoint RSS feed is a .aspx file not xml, as shown below: 
    _layouts/listfeed.aspx?List=21c2cdaa%2D52f3%2D4057%2Db674%2D45e63ba77e31&View=535eb328%2Db5fb%2D45c5%2D8fe8%2Da130e92afc41
    Also, is there a way to do this so that the xml content has current data like the list.
    Thank you for any insight and direction.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create a xml file from a SharePoint list.
    To generate a XML file, we can use the SharePoint Object Model or PowerShell to achieve it.
    Generate a hierarchical XML file from SharePoint list using Client Object Model.

  • Create XML file from ABAP with SOAP Details

    Hi,
    I am new to XML and I am not familiar with JAVA or Web Service. I have searched in SDN and googled for a sample program for creating XML document from ABAP with SOAP details. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
    I have a requirement for creating an XML file from ABAP with SOAP details. I have the data in the internal table. There is a Schema which the client provided and the file generated from SAP should be validating against that Schema. Schema contains SOAP details like Envelope, Header & Body.
    My question is can I generate the XML file using CALL TRANSFORMATION in SAP with the SOAP details?
    I have tried to create Transformation (Transaction XSLT_TOOL) in SAP with below code. Also in CALL transformation I am not able to change the encoding to UTF-8. It's always show UTF-16.
    <xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
      <xsl:template match="/">
        <SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
          <SOAP:Header>
            <CUNS:HeaderInfo>
              <CUNS:InterfaceTypeId>10006</InterfaceTypeId>
              <CUNS:BusinessPartnerID>11223344</BusinessPartnerID>
              <CUNS:SchemaVersion>1.0</SchemaVersion>
              <CUNS:DateTime>sy-datum</DateTime>
            </CUNS:HeaderInfo>
          </SOAP:Header>
          <SOAP:Body>
            <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
          </SOAP:Body>
        </SOAP:Envelope>
      </xsl:template>
    </xsl:transform>
    In ABAP program, I have written below code for calling above Transformation.
      call transformation ('Z_ID')
           source tab = im_t_output[]
           result xml xml_out.
      call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'
        exporting
          text      = xml_out
        tables
          ftext_tab = ex_t_xml_data.
    Please help me how to generate XML file with SOAP details from ABAP. If anybody have a sample program, please share with me.
    Is there any easy way to create the XML file in CALL Transformation. Please help.
    Thanks

    Try ABAP forum, as it seems not to be PI related.

I am developing a web application in Java with Oracle database and one of my tasks is to generate an XML file when the user, for example, click a "download as XML" button on the JSP. The application is basically like an Order with line items. I am using Struts and my first thought has been to have an action class which will extend struts's DownloadAction and through StAX's Iterator API to create an XML file. I intend to have a POJO which will have properties of all columns of my order and line items tables so that for each order I get all line items and:
    1. Write order details then
    2. Through an iterator write line items of that order to an XML file.
    I will greatly appreciate for comments or suggestions on the best way to do this through any pointers on the Web.

    Use a OracleWebRowSet in which an XML representation of the result set may be obtained.

  • Help on how to read the content of an XML file from the payload

    I have a receiver channel / mail adapter, that sends e-mails with a XML attachment.
    I’m trying to write a Bean, that should make it possible to rename the attached XML file dynamically.
    In the Bean I want to read the content of the attached XML file, it could be the “order number”.
    The filename should then be “Order number”.XML.

  • Reading a XML File from server in BI Publisher

    Hi All,
    Can any one help me how i can get the XML file from server to BI Publisher using data source.
    The file should transfer directly to BI Publisher with out storing it in any local directory in local system.
    Thank you
    Shalini.

    Do you mean that you have another system that is going to serve up the XML data and you want BIP to be able to pick it up as a data source ?
    Couple of options:
    1, If the XML filename can remain static you can use the 'XML File' datasource. You need to set up a directory on the server and then maybe create a dummy XML file to start with upon which you can build a report. Then have your external data generator put the file into that directory and then schedule the report so that BIP will pick and report.
    2. IS the data generator accessible via HTTP or web service - BIP supports those too.
    3. More complex but with a little effort you can create a servlet that will pick up the file from a directory and serve it up to BIP on demand - Im going to write about this on the blog this week

  • Error while retreiving xml file from database

    Hi-
    I am trying to configure Planning and getting the following error message at instance configuration step:
    "Error while retreiving xml file from database"
    We looked at PlanningSystemDB.properties, changes server name to its ip, reinstalled planning, made sure both auth methods are selected (sql server and windows), created new relational repository.. still the same error.

    Thanks for any help.

    After spending 2+ hrs with Hyperion Support nothing got resolved.. Just to give more background on this problem, we originally reconfigured all Hyperion components to use different SQL server, that is when the problem started happening as soon as we got to Planning Instance Configuration. Could this be the situations when old server name is still somewhere in the system?.. Could this be Shared Services problem.
