AnyChart - Parse XML as a String Problem

Hey guys
I am able to parse an XML file to AnyChart within APEX - the gantt chart displays fine. Though, I do want the process to be more dynamic. Basically I have created a PLSQL function to generate the XML - returns the XML as a CLOB. The function is called as a Before Header process and sets the value of a Hidden variable. I then parse the value of the hidden variable to the AnyChart routine setData() - see below:
var chart = new AnyChart('issuesChart', #IMAGE_PREFIX#AnyChart/swf/GanttChart.swf');
chart.width = 700;
chart.height = 300;
var data = document.getElementById('P29_XML_SOURCE').value;
chart.setData(data);
chart.write();
The problem is no chart is displayed. The XML generated by the PLSQL function is the same as the XML in the file I parsed to begin with. Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Cheers
Jamie Crosby

Have you found a solution to the using a procedure/function to generate the xml for the gantt chart ? If so can you post details on how you got this working , query examples would also be helpful. I am trying to generate a schedule of projects for a given year and displaying via a gantt chart.
Thanks,
Nancy

Parsing XML from a String

I have a servlet, this recieves an XML file from the client as a file input type from a html form. This XML is wrapped up in http headers and stuff. I parse the input stream from the client's http request to get a string containing the xml. This is fine.
How do I now build an XML document from this string? The DocumentBuilder will take in files and InputStreams but I can't find anything that helps me?
The only solution I've come up with is to write out the string to a temp file and then parse it back into a Document.
Any ideas anyone?????

Document doc = documentBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(yourXMLString)));
voila!

Parse XML input stream (no .xml file)?

i have a java applet calling a web service that returns XML data as an input stream (char by char from SOAP) to this applet. if i append a all the chars to a string, is there some XML tool that will parse the string as if it were an XML document (like a getElement functions)?
the applet cannot write the data to a .xml file, and i don't want to mess around with .jarsigning. any ideas?
thanks,

The XML parsers you are likely to be using support receiving input from a variety of sources besides files. For example you could parse XML from a String variable by passing a StringReader wrapping that String to the parser. Check the documentation for more details.

Problem in sending XML input as String in BPEL

Hi,
We have a BPEL flow (assign, invoke, assign) which takes an XML input as String.
<RegisterCustomerOnVAS><CustomerID>100</CustomerID><MSISDN>9999999</MSISDN><CustomerName>sanjeev</CustomerName><customerInfo>new user</customerInfo></RegisterCustomerOnVAS>
Assignment is doing fine, but when Invoke calls partner link, the input is getting parsed and only the first text value (eg 100) is getting passed to the partner webservice instead of the entire XML as string.
Can any one please help us in fixing in this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
You should watch your assign activity (maybe a bad assigment level in copy rule). I think the probem is there.

I wrote code....
InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(file.getBytes());
Document doc = docBuilder.parse(inputStream);
Element activityNode = doc.createElement("ACTIVITY");
Element nameNode = doc.createElement("NAME");
activityNode.appendChild(nameNode);
Text nametextNode = doc.createTextNode(name);
nameNode.appendChild(nametextNode);
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
root.appendChild(activityNode);
String resultUDA = doc.toString();
Problem: Here I am getting value of resultUDA is [#document: null]. I need updated XML as String....
any one can give me suggestion or any other option to solve this issue...
thanks in advance...

How to parse xml string

Hi! I'm having problems parsing an xml string. I've done DOM and SAX parsing before. But both of them either parse a file or data from an input source. I don't think they handle strings. I also don't want to write the string into a file just so I can use DOM or SAX.
I'm looking for something where I could simply do:
Document doc = documentBuilder.parse( myXMLString );
So the heirarchy is automatically established for me. Then I could just do
Element elem = doc.getElement();
String name = elem.getTagName();
These aren't the only methods I would want to use. Again, my main problem is how to parse xml if it is stored in a string, not a file, nor comming from a stream.
thanks!

But both of them either parse a file or data from an input source. I don't think they handle strings.An InputSource can be constructed with a Reader as input. One useful subclass of Reader is StringReader, so you'd use something likeDocument doc = documentBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(myXMLString)));

SAX Parser XML Validation Problems

Hi,
I’m having problems getting an xml document to validate within Weblogic 8.1. I am trying to parse a document that references both a dtd and xsd. Both the schema and dtd reference need to be substituted so they use local paths. I specify the schema the parser should use and have created an entityResolver to change the dtd reference.
When this runs as a standalone app from eclipse the file parses and validates without a problem. When deployed to the app server the process seems to be unable read the contents of the dtd. Its not that it cannot find the file (no FileNotFoundException is thrown but this can be created if I delete the dtd) rather it seems to find no declared elements.
Initial thought was that the code didn’t have access to read the dtd from its location on disk, to check I moved the dtd to within the deployed war and reference as a resource. The problem still persists.
Code Snippet:
boolean isValid = false;
try {
     // Create and configure factory
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactoryImpl.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
// To be notified of validation errors in the XML document,
// add a custom error handler to the document builder
PIMSFeedFileValidationHandler handler
= new PIMSFeedFileValidationHandler();
     // Create and Configure Parser
SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
parser.setProperty(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA);
parser.setProperty(NAMESPACE_PROPERTY_KEY, getSchemaFilePath());
     // Set reader with entityResolver for dtd
XMLReader xmlReader = parser.getXMLReader();
xmlReader.setEntityResolver(new SAXEntityResolver(this.dtdPath));
// convert file to URL, as it is a remote file
URL url = super.getFile().toURL();
// Open an input stream and parse
InputStream is = url.openStream();
xmlReader.setErrorHandler(handler);
xmlReader.parse(new InputSource(is));
is.close();
// get the result of parsing the document by checking the
// errorhandler's isValid property
isValid = handler.isValid();
if (!isValid) {
LOGGER.warn(handler.getMessage());
LOGGER.debug("XML file is valid XML? " + isValid);
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
LOGGER.error("Error parsing file", e);
} catch (SAXException e) {
LOGGER.error("Error parsing file", e);
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new FeedException(e);
return isValid;

Hi David,
I have checked the ejb-jar.xml file and there is no duplicate values in it and the other things is that the same application is been deployed on OAS 10G and websphere and its working fine. In the forum someone has replied to a similar problem that there is bug in Weblogic 10.3 and its CR no 376292. I am not sure about it, does anyone any information about it.
Thanks and Regards

Problem parsing XML with schema when extracted from a jar file

I am having a problem parsing XML with a schema, both of which are extracted from a jar file. I am using using ZipFile to get InputStream objects for the appropriate ZipEntry objects in the jar file. My XML is encrypted so I decrypt it to a temporary file. I am then attempting to parse the temporary file with the schema using DocumentBuilder.parse.
I get the following exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element '<root element name>'
This was all working OK before I jarred everything (i.e. when I was using standalone files, rather than InputStreams retrieved from a jar).
I have output the retrieved XML to a file and compared it with my original source and they are identical.
I am baffled because the nature of the exception suggests that the schema has been read and parsed correctly but the XML file is not parsing against the schema.
Any suggestions?
The code is as follows:
public void open(File input) throws IOException, CSLXMLException {
 InputStream schema = ZipFileHandler.getResourceAsStream("<jar file name>", "<schema resource name>");
 DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 DocumentBuilder builder = null;
 try {
 factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
 factory.setValidating(true);
 factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA);
 factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE, schema);
 builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
 builder.setErrorHandler(new CSLXMLParseHandler());
 } catch (Exception builderException) {
 throw new CSLXMLException("Error setting up SAX: " + builderException.toString());
 Document document = null;
 try {
 document = builder.parse(input);
 } catch (SAXException parseException) {
 throw new CSLXMLException(parseException.toString());
 }

I was originally using getSystemResource, which worked fine until I jarred the application. The problem appears to be that resources returned from a jar file cannot be used in the same way as resources returned directly from the file system. You have to use the ZipFile class (or its JarFile subclass) to locate the ZipEntry in the jar file and then use ZipFile.getInputStream(ZipEntry) to convert this to an InputStream. I have seen example code where an InputStream is used for the JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE attribute but, for some reason, this did not work with the InputStream returned by ZipFile.getInputStream. Like you, I have also seen examples that use a URL but they appear to be URL's that point to a file not URL's that point to an entry in a jar file.
Maybe there is another way around this but writing to a file works and I set use File.deleteOnExit() to ensure things are tidied afterwards.

Spry can not parse xml string

while designind an mvc architecutre in php I found display
data on site was slow so I generate a xml sheet an used spry Data
loading was fast an dproduced and I also performed many operations
like sorting ,galeery making ..etc... but main thing is that I can
not parse a xml string using spry only a xml file can be parsed
my application required to parse xml string

I'm not sure if this is valid in your situation, but OC4J comes with Oracle XMLParser.
Simply use the JAXP API to parse/build/modify XML and the Oracle XMLParser implementation will be used behind the scenes.
If you must use xerces/xalan, try putting the jars in OC4J_HOME/j2ee/home/lib instead.

Parsing XML problem

I parse XML String -> Document the next way:
public static Document parseXml(String fragment) {
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.
newInstance();
Document d = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(
new InputSource(new StringReader(fragment)));
return d;
} catch (SAXException e) {
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
return null;
In desktop applications all works correctly, but when I invoke this function in servlet which is run under Tomcat, it returns empty Document data. Can anybody explain me, where to find solution ?

How do you know it is returning "empty" Document data? And what do you mean by "empty"?

Problem in parsing XML Schema

I am trying to parse XML Schema using XSOM. The Schema has <xs:include>s
e.g. I have first.xsd which includes second.xsd and second.xsd again includes third.xsd.
First.xsd
<xs:include schemaLocation="../Second.xsd">....
Second.xsd
<xs:include schemaLocation="Third.xsd">....
When I parse "First.xsd" parser passes the correct path "C:/XSDSchema/Second.xsd"(First.xsd resides in "C:/XSDSchema/Schema/") to the EntityResolver's resolveEntity method. But for Second.xsd it passes "Third.xsd" only (Third.xsd resides in "C:/XSDSchema/" ) .
Any Idea ?????

Here is a screenshort of the part of my workflow:
In the mappings of the "Set Value" activity, I have one line with those properties:

Expression: /process_data/currentUser/object/@userId
Where:
bonusValidationForm is a process variable of my workflow that point my xdp form
buManagerID is the textfield I want to set
currentUser is a process variable (type User) that was well setted by the task Find BU Manager

Problem parsing xml in J2ME (using kxml2)

Hello.
May someone who knows how to use kxml help me please?
I'll try to be straight forward. (Please excuse my imperfect English)
My xml file look something like this:

char[] tempChar = new char[500];
isr = new InputStreamReader(httpConnection.openInputStream());
isr.read(tempChar);
for(int i=0; i<tempChar.length;i++){
System.out.print(tempChar);
//set the xml input
parser.setInput(isr);
//skip the "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>" tag
parser.nextTag();
parser.require(XmlPullParser.START_TAG, null, "sample_tag1");
 System.out.println("name : " + parser.getName());
