Assigning Complext XML as DataProvider to Flex Tree

I have complex XML structure to fed as dataprovider for FlexTree. Wanted to know how can i specify the grouping.My sample XML structure looks like this ->
<root>
     <Group>
          <name>
          <size>
          <location>
          <children>
              <Group>
                    <name>
                    <size>
                    <location>
             </Group>
          </children>
     </Group>
     <Group>
          <name>
          <size>
          <location>
          <children>
               <Group>
                    <name>
                    <size>
                    <location>
          </children>
     </Group>
</root>
I could actually say element "Group" can have Group within itself as child.I want to display them in Tree.How can i accomplish this.I searched so many examples no one have solution for this.Help greatly appreaciated.Thanks a ton.
Thanks,

I think you need a custom ITreeDataDescriptor.

Dataprovider for Flex Tree

how do you dynamically populate nodes in the Flex tree with data from a database?
For example... if I have a node for Groups and a database for names of groups... how would I populate the child nodes of the Groups folder with the names of the groups in the database?

alright i'll experiment. you may be able to help me understand why this isn't working though... this is the route i was going down:
i wanted to convert this mxml to actionscript and bind it to the tree (so i can add results from my dataprovider):
    <mx:XMLListCollection id="treeData">
        <mx:source>
      <mx:XMLList>
              <node label="Items">
                  <node label="Open"/>
                  <node label="In Progress"/>
              </node>
      </mx:XMLList>
        </mx:source>
    </mx:XMLListCollection>
and i was trying this code to make it bindable:
var stringData:String = '<node label="Items">' + '<node label="Open"/>' + '<node label="In Progress"/>'
+ '</node>';
var treeData= new XMLList(stringData);
but when i use actionscript to create the treeData variable... and use {treeData} as the binding data... nothing shows in my tree.

How we can show the xml data without any attribute in a flex tree (without having any label field) ?

how we can show the following data in a flex tree (without having any
label field) ?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rootNode>
        <childNode>
        < subchildNode >
                <valueNode>1000</valueNode >
                < valueNode >999-888-777</valueNode >
                < valueNode >STORTZ</valueNode >
                < valueNode >PAM STORTZ</valueNode >
                < valueNode >88 ST. MORTON ROAD</valueNode>
        </subchildNode>
        </childNode >
</rootNode >

as is - no how
wrap those xml chunk with a class having clear public properties like:
public class dataRecord {
     protected var xml:XML;
     function dataRecord(xml:XML) {
          this.xml = xml;
     public function get id ():String {
          return XML(xml.descendants("valueNode")[0]).toString();
     // and so on
simpliest way is to change xml structure to use attributes than wrapping that thing with AS code, it's time consuming and non efficient.

Change the root of Flex Tree dynamically

I have a Flex Tree constructed dynamically. The dataprovider is xmllistcollection.The user clciks on a button to add an item(node) to the tree.
when user tries to add 2nd item to the tree I want to create root(with a button) at the top automatically.
So a Root need to be created dynamically after 2nd item is added.
Can someone please help me in getting this.
I am using MXTreeItemrender as Itemrender and was able to add nodes. But I could not get the third item(I am taking this xml node as Branch and adding) added to the top of the tree.
Any help is very much appreciated

Or in APEX 4.0 this can be done using a Dynamic Action that executes JavaScript code to change the region title.
Give the region a static region ID for use in a jQuery selector.
As solutions may be dependent on APEX version—among other factors—always specify the following information in your initial post:
<li>APEX version
<li>DB version and edition
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener)
<li>Browser(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Templates
<li>Region type

Hi
          I think this will help u
DOMException.INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR (Error Code 5)
W3C DOM Level 1
A DOMException.INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR is thrown whenever an                         invalid or illegal character is specified, such as in a name.
NOTE: Names in XML can contain                         English letters (of any case), numbers (0-9), underscores (_), periods(.)                         and hyphens (-). Names cannot begin with a number, period or hyphen.                         Names can also contain a colon, but the use of colons outside of namespaces                         should be avoided.
XML for <SCRIPT> uses the following regular expression to determin                         if a name is valid:
/^[a-zA-Z_:][a-zA-Z0-9\.\-_:]*$/
Example:
function xmljsDOMExample() {
var xml;
xml = ""
+ "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>"
+ "<ROOT>"
+ "<TAG1>"
+ "Hello"
+ "</TAG1>"
+ "</ROOT>";
//instantiate the W3C DOM Parser
var parser = new DOMImplementation();
//load the XML into the parser and get the DOMDocument
var domDoc = parser.loadXML(xml);
//get the root node
var docRoot = domDoc.getDocumentElement();
//The following should raise a DOMException.INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
//because element names cannot contain the "*" character
try {
domDoc.createElement("***");}
catch (e) {
if (e.code == DOMException.INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR) {
//display the error message
alert(parser.translateErrCode(e.code));
else {
alert("unexpected exception");
alert(e.code);
}// end function xmljsDOMExample

How to Flex tree control using folder click event to pass coldfusion to get data from dynamiclly ?

Hi friends.........
Iam using flex tree control data coming from coldfusion file to display grid. As i click the tree folder to change the data from dynamic from grid.
How to pass the folder id from coldfusion file.. Is it possible ?.. Means give any example please....
Any One Help Me......
With Regards.,
Lingu.......

When you set the dataProvider for your tree control, you actually pass an array or arraycollection or whatever to that property. The array contains objects coming from your server, right? Each object should contain a property with the folder id, something like:
var arr:Array = [{id: 1, folderID: 34, name: "..."}, {id: 2, folderID: 4, name: "..."}, ...];
Now, when you click an item in your tree or your dataGrid, you can access the folder id by:
myTree.selectedItem.folderID
Hope this helps

Its illegal to assign a XML value directly to the messageType variable

I was recently working in JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.7.0) on an internal SOA project making some changes in the BPEL and noticed this message: Error(172): its illegal to assign a XML value directly to the messageType variable "InvokeFetchUpdatedUserId_FetchUpdatedUserID_InputVariable" I searched for this error message and didn't find anything. The message is somewhat explanatory but I thought I would post the fix here just in case. I modified my assign from the following:                                                                                                                           To this making sure to assign it to the underlying entity.                                                                                                                           Then it compiled just fine. Thanks, Tom

In case if you are returning multiple value or with multiple columns then you have to use record or cursor to do that operation.

Generate an XML file from a DOM tree

Hi,
I'm trying to generate an XML file from a DOM tree that I obtained from another XML file with the Xerces library. I used the following operation :
public static void writeXmlFile(Document doc, String filename) {
try {
Source source = new DOMSource(doc);
File file = new File(filename);
Result result = new StreamResult(file);
Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
xformer.transform(source, result);
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
System.err.println(e);
System.exit(1);
} catch (TransformerException e) {
System.err.println(e);
System.exit(1);
But I have this Windows/Linux problem. When I execute this on Windows, everything is correct. But if I try on Linux (every distribution does the same thing), I obtain an XML file where everything is written on just ONE LINE : there is neither identation nor carriage return at the end of a line ... And that is pretty annoying 'cause I need to SEE what I generate ...
Thanks for your answer,
Blueberryfin.

Actually I would think that no indents and no new-lines would be more correct, but maybe it's an option for parsers to do it either way if you don't specify it. If you want to specify it, look at this post from last month:

Populate Flex Tree from Java Code (Database)

Hi
Can someone please help me? I'm very new to using flex. I'm
basically trying to create a tree that is populated from data in my
database. I am using hibernate to fetch that data.
The plan is to basically create the tree in Java code (since
I don't want any processing done on the client PC) and then pass
this to the flex tree (or an actionscript data structure that is
compatible as the tree datasource)
I am creating the java tree using DocumentImpl. Is this
correct? What class would work?
Element e = null;
Node n = null;
Document xmldoc= new DocumentImpl();
Element root = xmldoc.createElement("USERS");

This is hardly a useful comment and must discourage new users

the use of the tree control is straightforward then I beg to

If you are aware of a clear example of how to use the data
tree with a php backend returning a remote data object please
enlighten me. Meanwhile I continue my search but not within the
livedocs.

Edit node name in flex tree

I want to edit a node in flex tree. Editable property of the
tree makes all nodes editable based on "SELECT" action . But now
based on my custom selection I want to edit a particular node. I
thought of custom item renderer and item editor but that applies to
all the nodes on "SELECT" action. Please let me know how to edit
particular nodes based on particular action.
Ex: On click of a button i want to edit the name of node
(Node is just text with folder icon).
Tx..
Flextron

Flextron,
I was trying to find an answer to the same issue. After
walking through the Tree and List class a bit I came up with this.
Here is an example where the Tree is not editable and double
clicking a node will allow you to rename it.
tree.addEventListener( ListEvent.ITEM_DOUBLE_CLICK,
itemDoubleClick );
tree.addEventListener( ListEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END, itemEditEnd
private function itemDoubleClick( event:ListEvent=null
):void
tree.editable = true;
tree.editedItemPosition = {rowIndex:tree.selectedIndex};
private function itemEditEnd( event:ListEvent=null ):void
tree.editable = false;

Issue with child items of flex tree using QTP

Hi,
We are trying to automate Flex web application using QTP10.
We are facing below issue with Flex tree when we try to automate a scenario of selecting a child item displayed in flex tree.
Issue:
On recording the step of selecting an item from Flex tree using QTP, the script displayed is .Select Index1. But when we replay it back no action is being performed.
Also on object spy we are able to navigate only till flex tree and we are not able to spy child items of flex tree.On the web page the child items are displayed as radio buttons/checkboxes.
Please provide a solution for me to this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
You could perform a HTTP trace (using HTTP watch) and compare the OCI data in POST method for both users (the correct and incorrect ones).
Perhaps there is some additional/missing information being passed from catalog to SRM.
Kind regards,

XML as dataProvider for Charts

     I want to display XML exported from Oracle Database as a chart......
The xml has the following structure :
<ROWSET>
      <ROW>
            <ORDER_ITEMS_ID>1</ORDER_ITEMS_ID>
            <ORDER_ID>1</ORDER_ID>
            <PRODUCT_ID>1</PRODUCT_ID>
            <UNIT_PRICE>1200</UNIT_PRICE>
            <QUANTITY>1</QUANTITY>
      </ROW>
      <ROW>
            <ORDER_ITEMS_ID>2</ORDER_ITEMS_ID>
            <ORDER_ID>7</ORDER_ID>
            <PRODUCT_ID>1</PRODUCT_ID>
            <UNIT_PRICE>1100</UNIT_PRICE>
            <QUANTITY>3</QUANTITY>
      </ROW>
</ROWSET>
I've seen many chart examples using ArrayCollection as DataProvider . using the same way , i tried to set xml . But no results.
Can you please suggest me how to set an XML as dataprovider ? ( or XMLList or XMLlistcollection )
( i'm developing a small app in AIR )

Sample app from Adobe's livedocs:
XML:
<data>
    <result month="Jan-04">
        <apple>81768</apple>
        <orange>60310</orange>
        <banana>43357</banana>
    </result>
    <result month="Feb-04">
        <apple>81156</apple>
        <orange>58883</orange>
        <banana>49280</banana>
    </result>
</data>
Application:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Model id="results" source="../assets/data.xml"/>
<mx:Panel title="Line Chart">
