Apply Stylesheet to XML Document

Is there a way to query relational data and apply a stylesheet to it using PLSQL code and then query the results using dbms_xmlgen.getxml?

What database version are you on?
Convert relational data to XML instances ( / XMLType datatype), for instance via functions, like XMLElement, XMLroot, etc or dbms package; and then use the XMLtransform function to apply your stylesheet. The moment you defined your select statement, you also could create a XMLType view. Anyway this could be handled via PL/SQL and queried by dbms_xmlgen.getxml via a collection (on stack/in memory) etc...

Embedding XSL in XML document

Hi
I am new to this particular forum. I had some query regarding embedding XSL .
Can we embedd the XSL stylesheet in the XML document itself.
I searched this forum and got some similar queries but the output isn't working. Can anyone put a working example.
I have got the following XSL stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<body>
<table border="1" width="100%" cellpadding="1">
<tr bgcolor="#FFFF99">
<th style="font-family:arial unicode ms;font-size:100%" align="center">Serial number </th>
<th style="font-family:arial unicode ms;font-size:100%" align="center">Site number </th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="Master/RECORD">
<xsl:if test="SR_NO > 0">
<tr>
<td style="font-family:arial unicode ms;font-size:80%" align="right"><xsl:value-of select="SR_NO"/></td>
<td style="font-family:arial unicode ms;font-size:80%" align="right"><xsl:value-of select="ACR_SNO"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The XML document is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="archivingmaster.xsl"?>
<Master>
<RECORD>
<SR_NO>1</SR_NO>
<ACRSNO>1</ACR_SNO>
</RECORD>
<RECORD>
<SR_NO>2</SR_NO>
<ACRSNO>2</ACR_SNO>
</RECORD>
</Master>
Thanks in advance
Ameya.

I have already gone through that link and searched for this on the net. But it doesn't seem to work on my Mozilla Firefox browser.
Can anybody put a working example if possible.
Thanks

Using JDK 1.1.8 you must use the JDBC 1.x driver in classes111.zip and the companion version of the XML SQL Utility xsu111.jar.
You'll need to download these from OTN from http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml and then replace them in your classpath for the classes12.zip and xsu12.jar that you're using.

Hi Edwin,
You need to recompile the xml forms project and that should resolve the issue. Unfortunately there is no alternative solution in such a scenario.

Use 1 stylesheet to translate 2 xml documents(raw data)into one result xml

I have one java application which can generate two xml documents (raw data), now i want to have one result xml which contains contents of these two xml documents(raw data) by using one stylesheet. is it possible?
how to match template in the stylesheet?
how to let the stylesheet know that it should read second raw xml?

Yes it is possible.
You didn't say whether you want to do this by invoking the transformation from a Java program, or with a stand-alone transformer, and which one.
I've done an application where I had a main XML file and a secondary XML file. I invoked the transformation from Java, and passed a parameter to the stylesteet. It winds up looking like a variable ($parm for example).
Here is the declaration of the param in the stylesheet.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="list" />Next, I use the document function to read the file and produce a result tree (like a DOM object, in a sense).
<xsl:variable name="phonemes"
select="document($list)" />Then, you can use code like the following to look for content in the secondary file:
<xsl:if test="$phonemes/phonemes/allsounds[phoneme=$sound]" >This was complex, but it works.
Another approach would be to have a small XML file with the names of the
two XML files you want to process. You could do a for-each to process each of the tags in this little file, use the document function to read in the file and copy th eoutput to where you need it.
So, in that case, you would be processsing 3 files rather than 2. If you are invoking from Java, the third file could be coded in a String rather than having to physically write it out.
You've got a few ideas to consider.

Parse and output XML document while preserving attribute order

QUESTION: How can I take in an element with attributes from an XML and output the same element and attributes while preserving the order of those attributes?
The following code will parse and XML document and generate (practically) unchanged output. However, all attributes are ordered a-z
Example: The following element
<work_item_type work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_type_code="3" user_tag_ident="Step" name="Work Step" gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" rstat_type_code="1">
</work_item_type>is output as:
<work_item_type gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" name="Work Step" rstat_type_code="1" user_tag_ident="Step" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_type_code="3">
</work_item_type>As you may notice, there is no difference in these besides order of the attributes!
I am convened that the problem is not in the stylesheet.xslt but if you are not then it is posted bellow.
Please, someone help me out with this! I have a feeling the solution is simple
The following take the XML from source.xml and outputs it to DEST_filename with attributes in a-z order
Code:
private void OutputFile(String DEST_filename, String style_filename){
     //StreamSource stylesheet = new StreamSource(style_filename);
     try{
          File dest_file = new File(DEST_filename);
          if(!dest_file.exists())
              dest_file.createNewFile();
          TransformerFactory tranFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          Transformer aTransformer = tranFactory.newTransformer();
          aTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
          Source src = new DOMSource("source.xml");
          Result dest = new StreamResult(dest_file);
          aTransformer.transform(src, dest);
          System.out.println("Finished");
     catch(Exception e){
          System.err.print(e);
          System.exit(-1);
    }

You can't. The reason is, the XML Recommendation explicitly says the order of attributes is not significant. Therefore conforming XML serializers won't treat it as if it were significant.
If you have an environment where you think that the order of attributes is significant, your first step should be to reconsider. Possibly it isn't really significant and you are over-reaching in some way. Or possibly someone writing requirements is ignorant of this fact and the requirement can be discarded.
Or possibly your output is being given to somebody else who has a defective parser which expects the attributes to be in a particular order. You could quote the XML Recommendation to those people but often XML bozos are resistant to change. If you're stuck writing for that parser then you'll have to apply some non-XML processing to your output to fix it up on their behalf.

Is there a way to modify the style sheet so that it transforms an XML document with empty tags as tag / ?

I have extracted some code from codeproject to
reindent an XML document. Does anyone know how I can modify the stylesheet to make it so that the transform of an XML file will result in empty tags showing up as <tag /> instead of <tag></tag>?
// http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/43309/How-to-create-a-simple-XML-file-using-MSXML-in-C
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr FormatDOMDocument(MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pDoc)

R"!( <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>)!"
R"!( <xsl:template match="@* | node()">)!"
R"!( <xsl:copy>)!"
R"!( <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>)!"
R"!( </xsl:copy>)!"
R"!( </xsl:template>)!"
R"!(</xsl:stylesheet>)!";
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pXmlStyleSheet;
pXmlStyleSheet.CreateInstance(__uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument60));
pXmlStyleSheet->loadXML(szStyleSheet);
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pXmlFormattedDoc;
pXmlFormattedDoc.CreateInstance(__uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument60));
CComPtr<IDispatch> pDispatch;
HRESULT hr = pXmlFormattedDoc->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void**)&pDispatch);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
_variant_t vtOutObject;
vtOutObject.vt = VT_DISPATCH;
vtOutObject.pdispVal = pDispatch;
vtOutObject.pdispVal->AddRef();
hr = pDoc->transformNodeToObject(pXmlStyleSheet, vtOutObject);
//By default it is writing the encoding = UTF-16. Let us change the encoding to UTF-8
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr pXMLFirstChild = pXmlFormattedDoc->GetfirstChild();
// A map of the a attributes (vesrsion, encoding) values (1.0, UTF-8) pair
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNamedNodeMapPtr pXMLAttributeMap = pXMLFirstChild->Getattributes();
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr pXMLEncodNode = pXMLAttributeMap->getNamedItem(_T("encoding"));
pXMLEncodNode->PutnodeValue(_T("UTF-8")); //encoding = UTF-8
return pXmlFormattedDoc;
Or, if there is some other method for reindenting a MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr object where I can specify how I want empty tags to be stored, that would be great too. However, I don't want it to lose its status of an MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr object.
I.e. I would like to still perform operations on the result as if it was still an MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr object.
Thanks,

Xml document converting to pdf

Hi,
I have a question regarding the convertion of xml document to pdf document.
Below is the scenario.
I have an xml document stored in the table in a CLOB format. I would like to convert the xml document stored in a table to pdf document and display in a Web browser.
I have written the stylesheet to convert the xml document to the xsl fo(XSL Formatting object xml) type document. I need to apply FOP Processor to convert into pdf document.
How do i do that in PL/ SQL ?
Any thoughts ??

1. Generate a XSL-FO document by applying an XSLT to the XML document in the database.
2. Convert the XSL-FO document to a PDF document.

Multiple namespaces in an XML document

I have an XML document that I am trying to use within a data flow (XML Source)--the problem is that I keep getting an error message stating that the XML document has multiple namespaces and therefore, SSIS will not create the XSD for me. If I take out the second namespace, I am able to successfully get the task to execute, but this XML is created with 2 namespaces and there is no way to get around this (I cannot get the report server to change these parameters)--my question is: does anyone know of a way to get SSIS to handle multiple namespaces so that I can process this XML document and extract the necessary data elements from it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!!!

I am replying too much late..........thinking might be useful for someone !!!!
SSIS does not handle multiple namespaces in the XML source file. You can find examples where you see the format
<Namespace:Element>.
The first step to avoid multiple namespaces is to transform your source file to a format that doesn’t refer to the namespaces.
SSIS has an XML task that can do the transformation. Add the XML task to an SSIS Control Flow and edit it.
Change the OperationType property value to XSLT, the SourceType to File connection and the Source to your source file that has the problem.
Set the SaveOperationResult property to True.
Expand the OperationResult branch and Set DestinationType to File Connection and the Destination to a new XML file.
Add the following to a new file and save it with an xslt file extension.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="no" />
<xsl:template match="/|comment()|processing-instruction()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*">
<xsl:attribute name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Back in the XML task, set the SecondOperandType to File connection and the Second Operand to your new XSLT file.
When you run the XML task, it will take your original file and apply the transformation rules defined in the XSLT file. The results will be saved in your new XML file.
This task only needs to be run once for the original XML file. When you look at the new file, you’ll see the same data as in the original, but without namespace references.
Now you can return to your data flow and alter the XML Source to reference the new XML file.
Click on the Generate XSD and you should be able to avoid your error.
When you click on the Columns tab in your XML Source, you will probably see a warning. This is because the data types may not be fully defined (for example there’s no mention of string lengths). This shouldn’t be a problem as long as the default data type
(255-character Unicode string) meets your needs.

XSQL: How to embed the XML document(s) instead of posting?

Dear all.
I'm trying to use XSQL for a self-contained database schema setup. This setup should be able to handle DML (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), PL/SQL calls etc and I thought XSQL looks perfect for the job. As such, I wouldn't be using XSQL as a publishing framework but as kind of an ETL tool. The only output I would be interested in would be the xsql-status in order to check that the number of rows processed matches my expectations. I would prefer XSQL to run entirely within the database and not depend on any servlet container.
However, it seems that XSQL's only way of obtaining the canonical XML (ROWSET/ROW) that is used by xsql:insert-request/xsql:update-request/xsql:delete-request is through HTTP POST/GET. It doesn't seem that it's possible to embed the XML directly in the page, nor does it seem possible to handle more than one XML.
I'm trying to achieve something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="scott" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsq">
<xsql:insert-request table="DEPT">
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-10</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 1</DNAME>
<LOC>COPENHAGEN</LOC>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-20</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 2</DNAME>
<LOC>LONDON</LOC>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</xsql:insert-request>
<xsql:insert-request table="EMP">
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>-10</EMPNO>
<ENAME>NEW EMP 1</ENAME>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>-20</EMPNO>
<ENAME>NEW EMP 2</ENAME>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</xsql:insert-request>
</page>
or perhaps
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="scott" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsq">
<request>
<parameters>
<dept>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-10</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 1</DNAME>
<LOC>COPENHAGEN</LOC>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-20</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 2</DNAME>
<LOC>LONDON</LOC>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</dept>
</parameters>
</request>
<xsql:insert-request table="DEPT" param="dept"/>
<xsql:insert-request table="EMP" param="emp"/>
</page>
I need both INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE so xsql:insert-param isn't enough, would also need an xsql:update-param and xsql:delete-param.
A way of referring to the canonical XML through an URI or XPath expression (referring to a registered XML document in the database) would also be cool.
Perhaps implementing custom action handlers would work but not sure whether they'll be able to refer to any child XML elements within them? Furthermore, the syntax for these would also be slightly inconvenient:
<xsql:action handler=com.ellebaek-consulting.xsql.InsertActionHandler" table="DEPT">
My alternative would be to re-implement an extended version of XSQL (XSQLX :-)?) but I'm trying to avoid that.
Any pointers and ideas are very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Finn Ellebaek Nielsen

Hi.
Thanks for your reply but the article only talks about how to query data with XSQL and I need to INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE data embedded in XSQL pages into the database so I'm afraid that the article doesn't apply.
Cheers

Problem displaying arabic text in xml document

Hi ..
I have an xml type coloum where i store an xml document that contains some arabic texts with UTF-8 encoding, m using an xsl file to transform the xml and display it in an html page.
At the database level when i select the xml col to dispaly the document, arabic texts are displayed correctly (DB is set to 1256), however when trying to display the text on html it gives me junk values. XSL sheet's encoding is set to windows-1256. M using Jdeveloper 1012 and BC4J frame work in my application.
How do i solve this problem.?
P.S.it wud b great if u support ur answer with examples .
Regards

You have to do it yourself - I don't have a ready solution. Just look into documentation how StyleSheets are used and see what properties work best for you:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
Also, with embedded fonts you need to play with TextFormat settings and AntiAliasType
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/AntiAliasType.html
In addition, on my machine even if I don't emebed fonts - Arabic works in Arial, TImes and others.

Updating a XML document with a processing instruction

Greetings Guru's
I have a fully functional XML database solution for our new system. The only thing left is for me to update a xml document in the database with a processing instruction to find the style sheet (JAXB strips it out when the XML must go back into the database).
I can update complete nodes and node elements in the xml document using updateXML in a regular update statement, but I do not know how to add the following processing instruction to my documents.
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/RASWEB/JIT_REPORT.xslt"?>
[pre]
Thanks in advance

Loading a XML-document into tables

Hi,
I have created a view for the tables below.
Table Book with columns:
- Book_ID
- Book_Name
- Ref_To_Price ( -> is a reference to Table Price (Price_ID))
Table Price with columns:
- Price_ID
- Price_DM
SQL-Syntax:
"create view Bookprice as select Book_ID, Book_Name, Ref_To_Price, Price_ID, Price_DM from Book, Price where Ref_To_Price = Price_ID; "
XML-Document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<!DOCTYPE ANWENDUNGEN SYSTEM "file:/E:/book.dtd">

<ROOTDOC>
<ROW>
<BOOK_ID>66-77</BOOK_ID>
<BOOK_NAME>JavaScript</BOOK_NAME>
<REF_TO_PRICE>12</REF_TO_PRICE>
<PRICE_ID>12</PRICE_ID>
<PRICE_DM>25.50DM</PPRICE_DM>
</ROW>
</ROOTDOC>
If I use the XML SQL Utility to insert the XML-Document, the following error message came up:
" Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view "
Can anyone help me, please ?

Hi,
This is a classic join view problem, where u cannot update two tables in one shot. The main problem is that ur two tables are not normalized correctly. Why can't they be in just one table?
OK, if that is not possible, then the best way out is to create a simple INSTEAD OF trigger on the view which will insert correclty,
e.g.
CREATE TRIGGER bookprice_tr INSTEAD OF INSERT ON Bookprice FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
insert into Book values (:NEW.Book_id,
:NEW.Book_name, :NEW.Ref_to_Price);
insert into Price
values(:NEW.Price_ID, :NEW.Price_DM);
END;
Hope this helps,
Murali
