Binding XML object to XMLConnector

Is it possible to dynamically bind an XML object to an
XMLConnector in ActionScript; and if so, how?
Thanks.

Any takers on this?

Issues with binding an XML object

Hi all.
I'm doing a quick data editor for a game I'm working on using
AIR and flexbuilder. Anyway, I've stored all the data in an XML
object and I'm binding various controls to the XML object. But I've
come across a weird issue when I update the data.
Basically I create a datagrid thats bound to the XML
(basically it reads a list of companies from the XML object). I
also have a MXML form thats bound to the same data (only from a
single company at the selected index of the datagrid).
So its all working neatly, apart from one thing. When I
select different rows from my datagrid, I'm getting strange
behavior from my update function (which simply sets the XML objects
values to the values in my form fields). Its as though there is
some caching going on within the data binding thats essentially
overriding my text edit fields .text properties.
Strangely enough, the update works, but not the first time
you select a new row from the datagrid.
So I'm wondering if there is some method to use to invalidate
any caching of data (its almost like the text is being retrieved
from a cache and stored back into the edit fields text property).
I'd added the MXML code for the app. Although the app reads
an XML file in the storage directory so its unlikely you'll be able
to run it. But if you need the xml, here it is:
<companies>
<company>
<companyname>Ericson</companyname>
<companydesc>Some kind of description
here</companydesc>
</company>
<company>
<companyname>Vodaphone</companyname>
<companydesc>This is another
description</companydesc>
</company>
<company>
<companyname>Smother</companyname>
<companydesc>Wingles another
description</companydesc>
</company>
</companies>
Hope someone can shed some light here.

You could try the Apache XMLBeans 2.1.0.
I have the same need to use xs:any datatype and, at least, XMLBeans do not fail in the bean generation process.
Cheers.

ActionScript to bind XML data to components

How can I use ActionScript to bind XML data to a comboBox
component instead of using the component inspector? (I have done
the latter, successfully, but that doesn’t allow access to
the code - .)
My ActionScript so far imports the data (the trace picks it
up) – but the ‘cbType.dataProvider line’
doesn’t work. It works when I change the data provider to an
array – so what am I doing wrong?
MY CODE:
import mx.data.components.XMLConnector;
var xcFestival:XMLConnector = new XMLConnector();
xcFestival.ignoreWhite = true;
xcFestival.direction = "receive";
xcFestival.URL = "festivalItems.xml";
xcFestival.trigger();
//POPULATE THE COMPONENTS WITH THE DATA
var festXMLlistener:Object = new Object();
festXMLlistener.result = function(evt:Object) {
trace(xcFestival.results);
cbType.dataProvider = xcFestival.results;
xcFestival.addEventListener("result",festXMLlistener);

This is on a stand - alone system
Using Designer ES ......
I saved the Form as an xdp form
and it seems as if all goes well until
View the data and nothing appears - or
just the names of the fields appear

Conversion of string into XML object

Hi
I am having some problems with conversion of string (containing XML data) into Flex XML object and binding it later to UI elements to output/maintain this data.
Binding of XML structure to UI elements works perfectly fine if I will do following:
1)      Hardcode XML object within Flex file
2)      Read xml file from repository (xml file inside the Flex project)
3)      Use HTTP request to retrieve XML data
Unfortunately none of the above scenarios suits my solution.
I am developing a prototype application for processing Flex forms inside SAP system. I have decided to make data bindings using XML structure stored in Data Base. When rendering form inside web browser based application I am retrieving corresponding XML schema (empty for new forms and populated for saved forms) and pass it to Flex form as a string type import parameter. Data is being passed correctly (I can display it on TextArea control for instance) but after conversion to XML and binding to DataGrid I am not getting any results.
I am converting string (containing XML) to XML object in following way:
Private var xml_obj:XML = new XML(string_xml );
I am catching any potential errors but conversion is going well. After conversion I am not getting any results after binding it to DataGrid control and I am not able to access any of the nodes using AS code either. At the same time variable xml_obj is not empty (not null).
Any help would be much appreciated.

First of all sorry for not stating it clearly but I am using Flex 3 for this development (at the moment it is the only choice when embedding Flex objects inside SAP applications).
You must have missed the bit where I am describing how this XML data finds its way inside Flex. I am passing it to Flex as String type parameter during rendering (directly from DB where it is stored).
Now, following code works perfect (XML is embedded inside Flex project):
                <mx:XML id="form_data" source="../assets/example_xml_data.xml"/>

                XML_list = new XMLListCollection(form_data.*);
XML string does find its way inside Flex form. I can display content of variable xml_data in TextArea and all looks fine. Conversion to XML (variable form_data) goes well (no error)

Properly binding an object to a custom component.

I am apparently not doing this. What am I missing to properly
bind an
object from a repeater looping over an array of object to the
custom
component called in the repeater?
<mx:Repeater
id="dayCells"
dataProvider="{days}"
startingIndex="{weekRows.currentItem}"
count="7">
<mx:GridItem
width="14%"
borderColor="black"
borderThickness="1"
borderStyle="solid">
<mx:Label
text="{dayCells.currentItem.formatedDate}" />
<ian:dayFormat2
drawData="{dayCells.currentItem as drawDay}"
test="{dayCells.currentItem.formatedDate}" />
</mx:GridItem>
</mx:Repeater>
{days} is an array of drawDate.as objects returned with a
remoteObject.
I can correctly bind properties of these drawDate objects in
the
lable and the test property of the dayFormat2
customComponent. But I
can NOT correctly bind the entire object over to dayFormat2.
What am I
missing?
My current version of dayFormat2.mxml, I have tried several
alternatives
for this file.
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="100%">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import drawDay;
//Define public variables
[Bindable]
public var drawData:drawDay;
[Bindable]
public var test:String;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:DateFormatter id="dayNum" formatString="DD" />
<mx:HBox
backgroundColor="0x002649"
width="100%"
horizontalAlign="right">
<mx:Label
text="{test}"
color="white" />
<mx:HBox
backgroundColor="0xAF1E2D"
horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Label
text="{dayNum.format(drawData.date)}"
color="white" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:Label text="foobar" />
</mx:VBox>
The first label bound to the test String works correctly. The
second
label bound to the drawData drawDay object date property does
not work
correctly.
What is the proper way to bind this object?

I have struggled with this all day and made no headway. The
only
strange thing I get is with this line:
<mx:Label text="{dayCells.currentItem.toString()}" />
outputs [object Object]
Not the expected string from this drawDay.as function.
// toString()
public function toString():String
return "Date: " + formatedDate;

Is XML object [Bindable] by default ?

Hello all
Consider the popup window that lets you change few values that are stored in XML or discared changes and leave model with original values.
Two input values are bound to model properties.
How would you overcome the issue marked red in following code ?
Should i set initial values in action script code instead of using binding in XMXL?
Another option is to define model as Object like this :
private var model:Object=new XML (<nodes> <node label=
"label1" data="data1"/>
<node label=
"label2" data="data2"/>
</nodes>);
so it is not [Bindable] and t1.text is not get updated when model is touched.
What is your "pattern" for implementing saveChanges/discardChages requirement?
Thanks
THE CODE :
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var model:XML=<nodes> <node label=
"label1" data="data1"/>
<node label=
"label2" data="data2"/>
</nodes>
private function update():void{
    model.node[0].@label=t0.text;
// after the execution of previous line t1.text is changed back to original value
// and we loose t1.text entered value
    model.node[1].@label=t1.text;
     closeMe();
private function closeMe():void{
   // close code
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:TextInput id="t0" text="{model.node[0].@label}"/>
<mx:TextInput id="t1" text="{model.node[1].@label}"/>
<mx:Button click="update()" label="Save changes" />
<mx:Button click="closeMe()" label="Discard changes" />

I suggest having two local variables, something like:
private var data0:String;
private var data1:String;
If the XML is defined at compile time, then you can initialize them directly:
private var data0:String = model.node[0].@label;
private var data1:String = model.node[1].@label;
Otherwise, use a Binding two synchronize them:
<mx:Binding source="model.node[0].@label" destination="data0"/>
<mx:Binding source="model.node[1].@label" destination="data1"/>
Then tie together the local variables and the TextInput controls. If the XML is defined at compile time, you could do this in an creationComplete event handler. If not, then you'll want to make data0 and data1 Bindable and let data binding initialize them:
<mx:TextInput id="t0" text="{data0}"/>
<mx:TextInput id="t1" text="{data1}"/>
Lastly, in your update() function, you can push the changes from data0 and data1 back into the XML object. I should note that if the XML isn't defined at compile time and you don't use data binding, then you'll likely run into initialization issues. For example, if data0 and data1 are created before model. Data binding can be an expensive convenience, though, so if you know exactly when model is created, you could initialize data0 and data1. You could even optimize them out, and assign directly from the model to t0.text and t1.text. Then in your update() function, you could push them back to the XML object. You probably don't want the model to have to know about the TextInput controls, so you might want to dispatch an event and have the document listen for that event. Lots of options. Good luck.

Howto dynamicly bind XML element to a TextInput using BindingUtils?

The question is: Howto dynamicly bind XML element to a
TextInput component using BindingUtils?
Now I use following codes:

<mx:TextInput id="txtDemo"/>
<mx:Button label="Test" click="test()"/>
My really idea is when bindable xml property is changed, then
the textinput will be updated as hoped. However, no update happens
to me when I click the Test button.
But, if I make codes like that:
<mx: TextInput id="txtDemo" text="{xml.label}"/>
the text will updated when xml changs.
So, what happened, I indeed need the dynamicly bind to the
textinput compont.
Help me. thanks.

You could use an ObjectProxy since all subproperties will
then be bindable:
private var _xml:XML =
<item><label>list1</label></item>;
private var _opXML:ObjectProxy = new ObjectProxy(_xml);
then in your init() function you declare _opXML as the host
object with the bindable property "label"...
// initialize code for application's initialize event
public function init(): void {
BindingUtils.bindProperty(txtDemo, "text", _opXML, "label");
//click event
private function test(): void {
_opXML.label = "something";
You'll notice that if you check your original _xml.label
property with ChangeWatcher.canWatch(), it returns false. But if
you create a dedicated object with a property that can be declared
as bindable, canWatch() returns true. You'd probably be best off to
write a lightweight class that can act as your model if you want to
work with dynamic XML binding using Actionscript. This will allow
you to use a bindable getter and setter that will give you the
dynamic functionality you're looking for.
Hope that helps.

Reading XML object from Request object

Hi,
We are using Flash in our web application in which we are sending an XML object using HTTP post method to a JSP where we need to parse the XML object and get the values. Can anyone tell how we can do it?

Creating and Binding View Objects dynamically : Oracle Jdeveloper 11g

Hello,
We are trying to create and bind view objects dynamically to adf data visualization components.
The view object is a result of multiple tables.
We are using Oracle JDeveloper 11g Technical Preview. ( can't upgrade to TP2 or TP3 now).
We have found this : http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2003/07/15/creatingUpdateableMultientityViewObjectDefinitionsDynamically.html on our search for the same.
The sample application however, is in 10g , hence required migration.
Also, it was a standalone application with the TestClient.java having a main() method.
Our requirement is for Web Application; we use Adf+jsf .
Guidance of any sort is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
-Anil Golla

Hi,
there also exist a forum for JDeveloper 11: JDeveloper and OC4J 11g Technology Preview
What you are trying todo is not trivial because you need to not only dynamically create the VO, you would also dynamically need to create the binding meta data for it (assuming you use ADF). Not sure if the API to modify the binding is public, so posting it on the JDeveloper 11 forum bears a glimpse of hope for an answer
In JDeveloper 10.1.3 you can't do this

Passing data from an XML object to an itemRenderer

I'm trying to color the background of a column in a datagrid and have found a sample file that illustrate the concept. However, the sample has data stored in an arrayCollection whereas mine is in an XML object. The problem is that the data in the sample file is apparently automatically passed to the itemRenderer (shown below: note the trace statement). My XML object does not appear to automatically pass data to the itemRenderer. So my questions are:
1. Is there a simple way to pass data stored in an XML object to an itemRenderer
or
2. Should I convert my XML to an arrayCollection? If so, what's the best way to do this-- I've tried the following, but without success:
<mx:Model id="xmldata" source="example3.xml"/>
<mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC" source="{ArrayUtil.toArray(xmldata.Example1)}" />
Here's what the xml looks like:
<TABLE>
   <EXAMPLE1>
      <difficulty> 0.5 </difficulty>
      <discrimination> 0.7 </discrimination>
      <item> 3 </item>
   </EXAMPLE1>
</TABLE>
Here's the itemRenderer:

This sample code should answer your question of how to bring data into the renderer automatically. It comes in via the DataGrid dataProvider and then you refer to it in the renderer as data.XYZ, where XYZ is the field in the XML with the data. See FB 3 help sys on e4x syntax.

Placing a variable value into an XML Object

I am trying to figure out how I would get the value of a variable into an XML Object.
I have the variable
var dragonName:String = "Samuel";
var listing:XML = new XML();
listing = <thedragon>
                        <dragon>
                              <myname> dragonName.valueOf()</myname>
                         </dragon>
               </thedragon>
However, the dragon name does not show up when I go trace(listing);
How do I do it and should I have imported something as well or what?

yeah - in fact you can do all sort of things. This is extremely useful when you creating an XML dynamically e.g.
var names:Array = ["Sammy", "Samuel", "Sancho"];
var xml:XML =     <dragon>
                     <myname>{Math.floor(Math.random()*names.length) < 2 ? names[1] : names[Math.round(Math.PI) - 1]}</myname>
                  </dragon>;
or you can even run a function:
var xml:XML =     <dragon>
                     <myname>{dragonName()}</myname>
                  </dragon>;
private function dragonName():String {
   return "Samuel";

Calling Bpel Process From a Jsp(Need a string output instead of XML object)

Hi
I am calling a BPEL process(Synchrononus) from a JSP page, Where Bpel process calls a java web service.The output from Bpel process is returned as an XML object. I need the output in a string format.Please let me know the steps to get the string output.
I also executed invokeCreditRatingService.jsp(from samples shipped with SOA Suite) that calls CreditRatingService bpel, but i was getting the following output where the rating value is printed as an XML object.
Output:-
BPELProcess CreditRatingService executed!
Credit Rating is oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement@9511c8
Please let me know, what changes i need to make to get the string output.I followed all the steps given in "orabpel-Tutorial7-InvokingBPELProcesses.PDF" to execute credit rating jsp.
We are using SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0 version.Do I need to make any changes to the code, to make it work with this version.
Thanks
Vandana.

The call payload.get("payload") returns, as you have observed, an XMLElement. You can simply convert the XMLElement into an XML string by using a DOMSerializer implementation. The following code is very useful for this purpose:

How can i filter an xml object on an attribute?

I want address an xml object with .(@ attributeNameHere == "textToSearchForHere") and have it return the node it’s associated with.
This is the text from the adobe help site and it’s similar to my actual code. I’m querying this xml object: staticVar.employee.(@id=="347"). FlashBuilder 4.7 is returning an error “No such variable: @id”. when I look in debugger.
This example is found in Adobe's help site: Adobe Flash Platform * Traversing XML structures
The help site says
The following expressions are all valid:
x.employee.(lastName == "McGee")—This is the secondemployeenode.
x.employee.(lastName == "McGee").firstName—This is thefirstNameproperty of the secondemployeenode.
x.employee.(lastName == "McGee").@id—This is the value of theidattribute of the secondemployeenode.
x.employee.(@id == 347)—The firstemployeenode.
public var staticVar:XML =
<employeeList>
      <employee id="347">
           <lastName>Zmed</lastName>
           <firstName>Sue</firstName>
           <position>Data analyst</position>
      </employee>
      <employee id="348">
           <lastName>McGee</lastName>
           <firstName>Chuck</firstName>
           <position>Jr. data analyst</position>
      </employee>
</employeeList>;
I’m expecting this: staticVar.employee.(@id=="347") will return the following node:
<employee nu="347">
<lastName>Zmed</lastName>
<firstName>Sue</firstName>
<position>Data analyst</position>
</employee>
If this is the wrong, then what is the correct way to access the xml node based on an attribute? How can i get that node 347 in this example to be found and returned? I've opened a ticket with the adobe help team and we're on the 8th day and they have not been helpful at all.

If you are using e4x as the result format for your service
you can do the following
//a XMLList of all day information
var result:Object = event.result.day;
//consits all information for month zero
var month0:XMLList = result.(@month == 0);
//consists of booking info for day 28 of month 0
var day28Month0:XMLList = month0.(@day == 28);
//this also can be done
//contains booking info for all months for day 28
var day28AllMonths:XMLList = result.(@day == 28);
Using this technique you should be able to gather info about
all user selected dates and build the smaller (filtered) list.

How to create a xml object dynamically

Hi all,
In my current project the database is returning the query result in xml string format(using oracle's DBMS-XML package).
Now I need to use this xml string and build a xml object and transform it into XSLT and then in a servlet and then pass it to the browser and display it using xsl stylesheets.
Can some one help me in building an xml object using a string( the xml string is in the xml format i.e in <..> format) and then transform it into xslt in the servlet and send across to the browser.
Any hands on code or references to the code will be most favourable.
any help regarding this issue will be most appreciated. Pls do reply as early as possible as I do not have much time to implement this.
Thanking in advance for your kind help.
Srinivas.

What's an "xml object"?
If you want to transform it using XSLT (transforming it "into" XSLT doesn't make much sense), you can transform direct from the string. Like this:try {
TransformerFactory xformFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xsl = new StreamSource("your.xsl");
Transformer stylesheet = xformFactory.newTransformer(xsl);
Source request = new StreamSource(new StringReader(yourXMLString));
Result response = new StreamResult(out);
stylesheet.transform(request, response);
catch (TransformerException e) {
System.err.println(e);
}By the way, if you haven't seen this code before then I suggest you go and read ERH's book about XML with Java:
http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava/chapters/index.html

String to xml object java

Hello,
can anyone suggest me how to convert string to xml object in java?
I have a string (Data) ant now I have to pass it as parameter as xml object, which structure should be:
<MGWData>Data</MGWData>
Where I surf I always see only solutions for converting string to xml document, but never to xml object.
maybe the problem is I don't completely understand what xml object is in first place :/
Any answer would help.
Thanks.

this method and some classes where generated using eclipse and wsdl file by creating web service client.
wsdl says for that part: *<xsd:element name="P_DATA-XMLTYPE-IN">*
So I suppose it should involve smth org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement. But when I create any type of parameter, it gives me error:
+ ....cannot be cast to com.oracle.xmlns.orawsv.SISTEMA_MOKA.MGW_PUBLIC_FUNCTIONS.SVARCHAR2INSERT_RECEIVESInputP_DATAXMLTYPEIN+
I am new in web service stuff so thank you for response.Can you explain in plain English what you are trying to do? Or provide a [url http://sscce.org/]SSCE.
