Adding hyperlinks to xml document

Hi
I've built a movie in Flash CS3, which calls in both its
images and text from an xml file. The one thing I'm having a
problem with, is getting some of that text (usually just a url) to
function as a hyperlink. Can I code the text within the xml file to
include hyperlinks? As an example, this is how one image and
accompanying text would look in my xml file;
quote:
<image>
<id>1</id>
<title>Image 1 heading</title>
<description>Image 1 text.</description>
<imageurl>IMAGES/image5.jpg</imageurl>
</image>
Many thanks for any help.

Hi Ned
Thanks for your reply. I'm slightly confused, however. The
code that attaches to the Flash document - textfield.htmlText =
yourLinkext; - the same picture box calls in the text, so how can I
specify the link text? There's quite a lot of text which breaks
down into sections, depending on which image you click (when you
click on the image, it turns around to reveal the text on the
back). Each image, or section of text, will have its own url, but
all of the text runs into the same picture box. I'm also not clear
what/where I need to attach the code in Flash.
Apologies if I didn't make things clear enough in my first
post or if I'm misunderstanding your instructions (which I probably
am!).
Thanks again.

Adding DOCTYPE to xml document

Hi,
I'm trying to create an XML document using JAXP APIs. But I could not find a way to add the DocType element with the Document. I read somewhere that DocType is a read only value. That means there is no way to associate it with a Document.?? Any help will be greatly appreciated as I'm urgent need of this.
Thanks in advance

Thank you so much for the help. Actually I was trying the same. But the issue was that I was trying to add the elements to the document object returned by the createDocument method. And that was giving me error. Now when I used getDocumentElement(); it is working.
Now other issue is that I'm using the following piece of code to save the document.
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer();
t.transform(new javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource(rootDoc),new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult("c:/text.xml"));This does not write the DocType element to the xml file. I tried to open an xml file and tried to save the same document. Then also doctype element is not written to the file.
Is it an issue withe serialization of the document using TransformerFactory ??
Thanks in advance

Last Row not added to XML Document

Hi,
I've created a transaction extracting data from SAP, trying to convert the data into a MII XML Document. But when i try to add the rows with the repeater block, it does not include the last record from the extracted SAP data.
Description of the transaction:
SAP function call
MII XML Document
Repeater (repeats on all items in the SAP output)
->MII XML Row
->Assign data to MII XML Row
Assing XML Document to Transaction output property
I have inserted a logger at the assignment action block, and the last SAP record is treated by the repeater block, but when i do a count on the SAP item elements and the converted Rows in the MII XML Document there is missing one record..
Has any body had a similar problem and solved it some how??

Hi
I think it is something to do with the technique you are using to add the rows.
What you are doing is adding a blank row to the document, then populating the row action block (NOT the row in the document) with the first row from your repeater.
You then run the row action block the second time, it has the data from the first repeater row, and then you populate the row action block with the second repeater row.
So at the end you will have a rowset with 1 empty row and all but the last populated row from your repeater, plus a Row action populated with the last row from the repeater, but not added to your document.
What you can do is either - move all your assignments into the Row object (definitely recommend this), or append the final row object to the document rowset before you assign it to your output.
Hope this makes sense!

CDATA links in xml document

Hello all,
I am trying to add an html link inside a parapgraph of text that is loaded through an xml document. I have done some research and it appears I need to set my actionscript to read the html. When I add the href in the text it reads literally as the code instead of creating a hyperlink in the paragraph. My problem is I did not set up the original flash document and I anot sure where to add the htmlText=true; and so on.
Here is the link. The problem is in the "press" section. last line in the paragraph of text. You can see the aref code not working.

Thank you for your replies
I tried adding the code mentioned, but I still can't get it to work. I added:
title_txt.htmlText = true;
title_txt.htmlText = title[p];
desc_txt.htmlText = true;
desc_txt.htmlText = desc[p]+" "+dims[p]+". "+note[p];
Am I adding in the wrong place? The text box that has the html in it is the "desc_txt" box. Any clues as to where the code would go in relation to the above code listed?
Again... thank you for all of your help. Really appreciated!

Displaying XML Document in new browser window

Hi,
I have a hyperlink on my page. When I click on it, it will open a new IE window and display xml document.
The new window is displaying some of the xml and at the end displaying the following:

Hyperlinks in pdf documents created from Keynote

For some reason the hyperlinks I've recently added to a keynote document are not active when I convert it to a pdf document. Neither Preview nor Adobe recognise them as hyperlinks.
I've made the hyperlinks active using the inspector, and give the full url, including the http://. Can anybody help?

Bernd Alheit, thanks for your answer. We print the pdf document from visio 2007 and then we read it in adobe reader 9. The relative hyperlinks work fine in visio 2007, but they change to absolute ones in the pdf document.

UTL_DBWS, XML Document as a parameter

I'm struggling with using a fully formed xml document as a parameter to a web service.
Using this code I'm able to connect to the web service and sans the arg1 argument everything works.
When I as in the code below use xmltype.toStringValue() or xmltype.toClobValue() charachters like < and > is replaced with the html encoded version (< and >) which does'nt work very well with the recieving web service.
All three parameters is defined as string on the recieving web service.
I've been searching this forum and using google, but can't find any examples doing something like this.
Any help or pointers appreciated.

Is the Document well defined via schema? You might be able to use the autotype
ant task to generate a serializer.
Otherwise, serialize the document to a string, then wrap it in <[CDATA[...]]>
on the return. The calling app will need to understand that the string is xml,
and then desrailize it manually.

How do I add (or insert) a node into an XML document with JSTL?

Dear all,
I am trying to use JSTL to store some data from a form into XML. However, I have read many articles in JSTL and only found that it can only be, as far as those articles are concerned, used to "read" data from XML files, but not "write" to them.
Am I missing something in JSTL? Or, if I want to write to an XML file (e.g., insert a new node, or modify a node's data), will I have to write my own bean and then use <c:usebean />?
Thanks very much in advance.
Regards,
Robert

JSTL is not a programming language in and of itself. It is intended to help you to write scriptlet free JSPs.
JSP pages (by one school of thought) are intended to function as the "View" in a Model-View-Controller architecture.
Being a view, JSP pages should be able to look at things - but not touch.
The standard pattern is to go to a servlet first, which invokes the logic, and then forwards to a JSP for rendering.
Editing XML by adding new nodes etc etc is thus a function of the java code layer - servlet/action whatever you want to call it.
Giving you the power to edit XML documents via JSTL (ie on a JSP page) takes away from purity of the MVC design.
Hence why they don't provide the tags for manipulating XML, and only provide the database tags with a disclaimer that they should only be used for prototypes/trivial apps!
JSTL is designed to replace scriptlet code on a JSP page.
It can replace 99% of scriptlet code. The other 1% shouldn't be on the JSP in the first place :-)

Inserting an element into an XML document

I am simply looking insert a new element into an existing XML Document using JDOM. Here is my code so far:
public class UserDocumentWriter {
     private SAXBuilder builder;
     private Document document;
     private File file = new File("/path/to/file/users.xml");
     private Element rootElement;
     public UserDocumentWriter() {
          builder = new SAXBuilder();
          try {
               document = builder.build(file);
               rootElement = document.getRootElement();
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               System.err.println("ERROR: Could not build the XML file.");
          } catch (JDOMException jde) {
               System.err.println("ERROR: " + file.toString() + " is not well-formed.");
     public void addContact(String address, String contact) {
          List contactList = null;
          Element contactListElement;
          Element newContactElement = new Element("contact");
          newContactElement.setText(contact);
          List rootsChildren = rootElement.getChildren();
          Iterator iterator = rootsChildren.iterator();
          while (iterator.hasNext()) {
               Element e = (Element) iterator.next();
               if (e.getAttributeValue("address").equals(address)) {
                    contactListElement = e.getChild("contactlist");
                    contactListElement.addContent(newContactElement);
                    writeDocument(document);
     public void writeDocument(Document doc) {
          try {
               XMLOutputter output = new XMLOutputter();
               OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
               output.output(doc, out);
          } catch (FileNotFoundException ntfe) {
               System.err.println("ERROR: Output file not found.");
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               System.err.println("Could not output document changes.");
     }However, the problem is, the newly added element will always be appended to the end of the last line, resulting in the following:
<contactlist>
            <contact>[email protected]</contact><contact>[email protected]</contact></contactlist>Is there anyway in which I can have the newly added element create it's own line for the purpose of tidy XML? Alternatively is there a better methodology to do the above entirely?

Your question is not very clear.
Do you want to know How to insert an element into an XML document?
Answer: I can see you already know how to do it. You have added the element using addContent()
or do you want to know How to display the XML in a tidy format?
Answer: to view the XML in a properly formatted style you can you the Format class. A very basic way of viewing the XML would be:
   * Prints the Document to the specified file.
   * @param doc
   * @param filename
   * @param formatting
public static void printDocToFile(Document doc, String strFileName,
      boolean formatting)
    XMLOutputter xmlOut = null;
    if (!formatting)
      xmlOut = new XMLOutputter();
    } else
      Format prettyFormat = Format.getPrettyFormat();
      prettyFormat.setOmitEncoding(false);
      prettyFormat.setOmitDeclaration(false);
      xmlOut = new XMLOutputter(prettyFormat);
    try
      if (doc != null)
        FileWriter writer = new java.io.FileWriter(strFileName, true);
        xmlOut.output(doc, writer);
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
      } else
        System.out.println("Document is null.");
    catch (Exception ex)
      System.out.println(ex);
}

Add a hyperlink to another document? CS4

Hi,
How would one add a hyperlink to a document that refers to another document?
The basic is:
myDoc.hyperlinks.add(myHyperlinkTextSource, myHyperlinkTextDestination);
How do I get "myHyperlinkTextDestination" if it exists in another, unopened InDesign document?
I suppose I could open the document, get the Hyperlink destination, and then close it again, but in the UI this is not necessary (you simply browse to the required file and can then choose from a list of hyperlink destinations in that file). So how is this scripted?
Thanks,
Ariel

Next, I tried this:
I opened the document and got it's HyperlinkTextDestination.
Then I used it when adding the hyperlink to the main document:
app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add(mySource, myDestination) //myDestination is a hyperlink destination in another document.
And I get the following error message:
Cannot set this property to an object in another document.
So I'm clearly on a wild goose chase here.
But obviously this is possible since it is doable in the UI.
Any and all help appreciated!
Ariel

Unable to find XML document from class path resource

Hi,
I am trying to learn spring and wrote my first class today. I added all the jar files to the lib folder and created all the classes. When I try to run the client program I get

I have my client, interface, XML file all in the same package com.training.spring.greetCustomers. I could not understand what I am doing wrong?? Can you please help me.

congratulations on deciding to learn spring. that's a smart thing to do.
stop assuming that you did it correctly. the xml file is not in the classpath. when you get it there correctly, spring will find it.
you have the source files and xml in that directory, but where do the .class files end up when you run them? does the xml config end up there, too?
remember, the xml config should be in the directory where the root of the package hierarchy begins, not down where the .class files are.

How to parse XML document returned by webservices

Hi,
I have a form (version 10.1.2.0) which has to display the credit card types using webservices. I created the webstub and jar file through jdeveloper and then after adding the jar files in the respective classpaths, I import it in the forms. I write the code in when-button-pressed and it gives the result in xml document like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><WSAnswerTO><error>false</error><errorMessage></errorMessage><
results><CardTypeTO><carTypId>3</carTypId><type>AMERICAN
EXPRESS</type><numLength>15</numLength><cvvLength>4</cvvLength><comments>1 800-639-0002</comments></CardTypeTO><CardTypeTO><carTypId>4</carTypId><type>DISCOVER</type><numLength>16</numLength><cvvLength>3</cvvLength><comments>1 800-347-2683</comments></CardTypeTO><CardTypeTO><carTypId>1</carTypId><type>MASTERCARD</type><numLength>16</numLength><cvvLength>3</cvvLength><comments>1 800-633-7367</comments></CardTypeTO><CardTypeTO><carTypId>2</carTypId><type>VISA</type><numLength>16</numLength><cvvLength>3</cvvLength><comments>1 800-945-2000</comments></CardTypeTO></results></WSAnswerTO>
From the above xml document, I only need to display the type (such as AMERICAN EXPRESS, VISA, ETC) in my forms. Can somebody please tell me how to do it. Do I need to store the values in a table first and then retrieve it. Please advise. I have already read a otn document in xml parsing but I didnt understand anything from it.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Reading UTF-7 XML document in Java

I have an XML document and I want to add PrcessingInstruction to it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-7" ?>
<root_element>
<sections>
<section_introduction>
<order-no>108800674</order-no>
<order-type>219</order-type>
<created-date>5. november 2008</created-date>
when trying to parse it like
File tmpFile = new File("C:\\ProvisioningEventError58412.xml");
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false);
Document doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(tmpFile);
System.out.println("end");
I get an exception on Document doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(tmpFile);
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid encoding name "UTF-7".
[Fatal Error] ProvisioningEventError58412.xml:1:40: Invalid encoding name "UTF-7".
Is it possible to set encoding on DocumentBuilder, so it can work with UTF-7 or is there any other was to parse it for adding ProcessingInstruction. Actually I want to add a CSS/XSL file for formatting the XML File.
Edited by: aamaam on Jul 15, 2009 5:18 AM

As you will see from [this Supported Encodings document|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html], it's Java which doesn't support UTF-7, not just DocumentBuilder.
So you have a couple of options. You could send the document back to whoever produced it and tell them that you can't process it the way it is. That's a legitimate thing to do because [the XML Recommendation|http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/] only requires parsers to support UTF-8 and UTF-16. Support for other encodings is optional.
Or you could write your own subclass of InputStreamReader which converts a stream of UTF-7 bytes into a stream of chars, and use that as a Reader which you pass to the parser. Somebody may even have done that already and posted it on the web somewhere.
