BSP Element Expressions XML Parameters

Hi, can anyone please give me a tip or a small example of a use of parameters in XML BEE? They are defined in a BSP and then set there in the bee SET method of CL_BSP_BEE_XML. Brian McKellar gives an example in his Weblog /people/brian.mckellar/blog/2003/10/30/bsp-programming-bsp-element-expressions-bees but I have a different situation and dont understand what they might mean for me. Thanks for any information. Best regards David Lawn

Hi Brian, thank you very much.
In fact I have success with the tutorials you have given. I still have some difficulties but believe they can be overcome:
1. I am in a method of the bsp application class. I have dumped the code into this method from a bsp page include fragment.
2. Thus, in this method, I now have business logic abap determining which <htmlb elements are created and what values the variables of these elements have. Thus at runtime I pass to the bee a concatenated string like '<htmlb:textView id ="' l_id_element_name ' text = "' l_text 'design = "' l_design '"' ... '/>'. I had figured I had, at runtime, no variables and so needed no parameters. In fact, I have had to find that if I do not code parameters then adding in a second piece of <htmlb code crashes the bee and I loose the browser display of the first one. If I parameterise the first and the second, then I have both. So thats clear. I have also found that bee string syntax is totally strict. I also looked at bee->m_dom dom_table in the debugger, together with the parameters, which helped me understand.
I am adding in bits of the huge amount of business logic at a time to keep the bee string consistent.
3. After setting the bee I pass it back to the view include that called my method (I have a nice ddic structure for that) and display the result as you do in your tutorial.
4. The total result thus is that I no longer need business logic in my view includes and can create html from htmlb in the application class method, which is what I need. Thanks!
4. My need: I firstly just need to get a form onto the browser as quickly as possible so that other project members can see it and plan. Performance is secondary at the moment. I am happy to use the xml bee.
5. The bsp I work with has a strange structure, with a page with flow logic <bsp:goto-ing a controller which calls a view with many includes, one of which is mine (which also has includes). So your other suggestion, using views, will also be followed up as soon as I get my page up and visible.
Kind regards David

BSP Programming: BSP Element Expressions (BEEs)

Hi,
Alex reported a difficulty with
BSP Programming: BSP Element Expressions (BEEs)
/people/brian.mckellar/blog/2003/10/30/bsp-programming-bsp-element-expressions-bees
back in March.
Since I also set up the example contained in that paper recently, and since I permitted myself to add in some lines of code with which it works well, I give those lines here:
1) the bee call:
<%
if bee is bound.
%>
<bsp:bee bee="<%= bee %>" />
<%
endif.
%>
2) in the xml part of onInputProcessing:
2.1)
data: xml_errors type TIXMLTERR.
2.2)
append <xml_parm> to xml_parms.
also seemed a good idea.
I hope this is useful.
Best regards
David Lawn

Oops ... I dont need the append statement of course (because I have insert .. assigning). Sorry about that.

BSP Element Expressions

Hi,
   I am practicing on BSP Element Expressions and i have gone through the weblog by Brain McKellar. I am trying the same example given in the weblog but i am getting an exception at the statement
<bsp:bee bee = "<%= bee%>" /> in the layout.
    I have not instantiated but i have declared it as an page attribute as given in the weblog.
    Why am i getting an error? any help is highly appriciated.
Regards,
Azaz.

You have to instantiate the bee before you use it. otherwise the bee is not bound or is null so u'll get exception. The right way is to check the bee before you use it i.e.
change the html layout code this way.
<% if bee is bound. %>
<bsp:bee bee = "<%= bee%>" />
<% endif. %>
This is the first step. This way even if you don't instantiate the bee, u'll not get any exception or crash.
Second point is using the bee if instantiated properly.
Instantiation of bee is compulsory if you want to use it.
Do the instantiation anywhere where u think its correct. you can do it in OnInitialization handler or in inputProcessing etc. In the blog it is done in the OnInputProcessing.
As I said earlier, the fixes to make that code work properly are mentioned at the bottom of the blog.

Remove element from xml using dom.

i want to remove an element from an xml file using dom.
i remove the element but the whole content of the file is also deleted.
how can i rewrite the file.

Hi,
May the below code is useful for you, but I dont know how to sort.
Edit the tag as per your job request.
alert(app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].contents)
//Second alert
var xe = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].evaluateXPathExpression("//marginalnote");
alert(xe.length)
for(i=0; i<xe.length; i++)
alert(xe[i].texts[0].contents)

Schema Validation on attributes of an element in XML againt XSD schema

Hi,
I had generated artifact java classes from XSD schema file.Now i am validatiing one sample XML document by using these classes in JAXB.The XML document is validated successfully.but only elements are validated ,but not attributes of that elements.for example ,i am giving wrong element which is not defined inside the schema file,it throws validation error as expected ,whereas validation against wrong attributes of elements in XML it is not working anyway,it does not throw any validation errors,but it should throw validation errors.kindly help me to solve this issue.
Here The sample validation code snippets :
import javax.xml.bind.ValidationEvent;
import javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventHandler;
import javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventLocator;
public class MyEventHandler implements ValidationEventHandler{
     public boolean handleEvent(ValidationEvent ve) {
          if (ve.getSeverity()==ValidationEvent.FATAL_ERROR ||
                    ve .getSeverity()==ValidationEvent.ERROR){
               ValidationEventLocator locator = ve.getLocator();
               //Print message from valdation event
               System.out.println("Invalid booking document: "
                         + locator.getURL());
               System.out.println("Error: " + ve.getMessage());
               //Output line and column number
               System.out.println("Error at column " +
                         locator.getColumnNumber() +
                         ", line "
                         + locator.getLineNumber());
          return true;
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
unmarshaller.setEventHandler(new MyEventHandler());

Here is my analagous 'strange' behavior. I am jaxb processing and then marshalling generated classes to XML ( following the simple Sun 'PurchaseOrder' example )
1. This works:
<xsd:schema....>
<xsd:complextType name = "myName">
<xsd:attribute name='name1'>
</xsd:complextType>
</xsd:schema>
2. This doesn't:
<xsd:schema....>
<xsd:complextType name = "myName">
<xsd:attribute name='name1'/>
<xsd:attribute name='name2'/>
</xsd:complextType>
</xsd:schema>
That is, using more than one attribute line within this simple complex type causes nothing to be marshalled to XML.
Ideas?

How to display string which has BSP elements correctly?

Hi,
   I have a string variable lv_text which content is:
<htmlb:group height = "100%"
                     width = "100%" >
          <htmlb:groupHeader>
            <xhtmlb:toolbar id="toolbar1" >
              <xhtmlb:toolbarItem placement="LEFT" >
                <htmlb:textView design = "HEADER3"
                                text   = "AAAA"/>
              </xhtmlb:toolbarItem>
            </xhtmlb:toolbar>
          </htmlb:groupHeader>
          <htmlb:groupBody>
            <%
if gv_if_dis_message = 'X'.
            %>
            <%@include file="message.htm" %>
            <%
Endif.
            %>
          </htmlb:groupBody>
        </htmlb:group>
    I want to use it in my BSP page and display the content correctly. Because it has some BSP elements, so now it can not be displayed correctly. How to solve this problem?
    Thanks a lot!

you cannot do this way. what you can do is call the factory method of the htmlb:<tab> to get the element and render the element to a string and you can now use this string in your bsp page.

Bindable attribute for BSP elements in BSP extensions

FixedHeaders atribute in configTable bsp-element

Hi!
The task is make column headers of bp search results table fixed when scrolling.
E.g.
Component BP_HEAD_SEARCH displays BP search results in view MainSearchResult.
In view-layot html-page of this view i find bsp-element configTable calling.
This bsp-element have an attribute fixedHeaders with default value "False".
Description for this attribute says "Whether headers should be fixed when scrolling".
I try to pass "True" in to fixedHeaders attribute, but it doesn't changed anything in UI logic -
scroll work as ussual.
Anyboy know how to use this attribute?
Regards,
Marat.

Hello, Marat.
I think that this parameter works only if you have vertical scrollbar in the table. Because it cann't handle the vertical scrolling in "parent" frame.

Prevent rendering of inner BSP elements

Hi all,
does anyone know a possibility to prevent the rendering of the inner elements of a custom BSP element? I want to do something like this:
<mat:elem hideInner="true">
<htmlb:inputfield ... />
</mat:elem>
I would like to control from the <mat:elem/> whether or not the <htmlb:inputfield/> is rendered....
I know that I could use a simple <% if ... %>, but an element would be nicer
Any help is appreciated,
Matthias

I would look at the BSP Element BSP:findAndReplace. I looks like you could grab the inner content during the DO_AT_END using:
data: content type string.
content = m_out->get_content( ).
I haven't tried it, but instead of changing a small part of the content, you could just wipe it out.

Making htmlb:listbox bindable by new BSP-Element

Hi,
I tried to built a new bsp element which renders a listbox and where the table attribute is bindable.
So far I declared the element listBoxBindable in my own BSP-Extension with the same atrributes as htmlb:listBox.
For Element content I marked 'empty'.
For More Options I marked 'User defined Validation' and 'No return of PAGE DONE...'.
In element-handler-class I copied the methods IF_BSP_ELEMENT~COMPILE_TIME_IS_VALID
IF_BSP_ELEMENT~RUNTIME_IS_VALID
from HTMLB:ListBox.

resolve_model_binding( ).

Thx in advance!

Just off the top of my head, I would say you are missing the rendering loop for the listbox.
Add the following after the method call to cl_htmlb_listbox=>factory.
    while m_page_context->element_process( element = listbox ) = co_element_continue.
    endwhile. "End Listbox Render

ISA changing web.xml parameters for ordering

Dear all,
I have the following problem. I would like to set the web.xml parameters in such a way that when I click add to basket from a product, to create a basket directly and add it rather than navigating to createdocument.jsp and having to choose between order and order template. I think this is possible, could someone please tell me some details on how to do it?
thank you very much in advance

Hello Alkis!
Do you want to disable choose document type and create only a Basket type (neither Order nor Quotation) document while choosing product from product catalog?
Please give more clear requrements.
