Can I route non-XML files with NW PI 7.0?

Hello,
I have NW 7.0 PI installed. I need to implement very simple scenario:
1. There are two folders Source and Target
2. Any file (non-XML, binary for example) comes to the Source folder
3. File needs to be picked up and routed without any modifications to the Target folder
Questions:
1. Can I implement that with NW? I guess I can
2. How do I do that? Is there any example or some description of implementing such a simple scenario (I have a few samples on how to implement complex scenarios that work with XML files, but I don't need that complexity)
Thanks in advance.

How can I save a XML file with JAXP1.1?

Dear All.
I write a program to create XML file with DOM model, but I can't know how to save it? My environment is JAXP1.1 and JDK1.3.1,I has been required not use other XML parser toolkits,only JAXP1.1.
How can I do? thank you.
Many person give me a idea the com.sun.xml.tree.XmlDocument, but I can't find the class in API document or JAXP1.1's packages. why?
what is it? How can i use it?
thank you very much.

The way to save an XML Document is using a Transformer.
To have access to a transformer use the packages :
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
Then for saving your Document Object (named dXml) get a Transformer Object with the TransformerFactory Object :
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer();
Now you have got your Transformer Object, to save your Document Object use the method :
Document dXml = getMyDocument(); // this is your Document Object.
OutputStream osSave = getMySaveStream(); // this the OutputStream you need to save your Document.
try
t.transform(new DomSource(dXml), new StreamResult(new OutputStreamWriter(osSave)));
finally
osSave.close();
And your Document was now saved.

How can (parse) i use XML file with missing EndTag

hi,
i have an application which writes an "XML file".
another application should read that XML file, build an DOM and
access the nodes with xpath.
my problem. if the first application is not finished there are tags
missing. e.g. </xml>. but the seconds application cannot wait until the first application finishes it task.
if i now read the XML file the parser cannot load it because the end tags are missing.
my question:
how can i deactivate the check or how can i read the XML file and access it via XPath (my application is using at the moment XPath to access the nodes and i dont want to change that)
as parser i am using XERCES
alex

As far as I know, you can't do this - xml must be well formed (this is sort of a bedrock of xml). There may be some work around's, but I'm not aware of any - and they would most likely be hacks.

Reading xml file with sax parser: unknown protocol: c

Hi,
I've been googling around, and the best I can find is that the file name:
File test = new File("lib/test/parseTest/validate-test.xml");should be a url:
File test = new File("File://lib/test/parseTest/validate-test.xml");but I'm working on a linux machine and can't put "File://c:/pathToFile/file.xml"
Also, I did some testing and I can read a small xml file with just a few elements, but on large complex files, I get that error.
anyone ever run into this before?

No, that's wrong. The parameter for that constructor is a file path (relative or absolute). Not a URL. You must have misunderstood whatever you read.
but I'm working on a linux machine and can't put "File://c:/pathToFile/file.xml"What kind of a Linux machine is this which has a C drive? You must have misunderstood whoever told you to do that.

How can i send xml file with a http servlet request

Hi
Please tell me how can I send a xml file into http servlet request.
I have a servlet(action) java file.From this servlet I have generate a xml file. Now I need to send that xml file to another servlet with http servlet request object.
Dave.

When you say you have generated an XML file what do you mean?
Is it a file stored on disk? Then pass the file path as a string to the servlet.
Is it stored in memory as an object? The pass a reference to the object to the servlet.
Or are you asking how to communicate between servlets?
Look in the JavaDocs for the RequestDispatcher class. You can use this class to forward the request to another servlet. Data can be passes using the RequestDispatcher by storing it as attributes using the request getAttribute and setAttribute methods. Also described in the JavaDOcs.

How Can I dispaly XML file with CSS?

hi,all
There is maybe a simple way to dispaly a XML file with a CSS file in program.But I don't know.Who can tell me?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
XML documents don't have the link or style elements that are used in HTML to connect style information to particular documents. Instead, the W3C has defined a processing instruction that provides that information, based on the model of the HTML link element. To connect a CSS style sheet to your XML document so that the browser can find it, use a processing instruction like
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="URI"?>
where URI is the address of the style sheet. We'll use a style sheet called display1.css for our first test document. The processing instruction can go right after the XML declaration.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="display1.css"?>
<test>
Hope this may help you.

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Hi,
you need to create three util class for that:-
XMLHandler
XMLParser
XMLBuilder
for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

Sending XML Files with Certificate

Hello everybody.
I need develop an abap program for sending XML files with a certificate.
How I can create this certificate?
Somebody have an idea?
Thank you everybody.

Mikael,
This sounds like one of the many quirks (perhaps bugs) related to how FrameMaker handles non-FM files in books. The current book model doesn't play well with XML files as chapters and this seems like yet another problem. Apparently, if an xref does not target another .fm file in the book, Frame assumes that the target file is not in the book and therefore will not be in the book PDF.
There have been discussions here about this in the past. The solution that I use is to run an API client before publishing that converts all XML files to .fm files, and redirect all xrefs appropriately. Then, book features work as expected and PDFs come out as normal. This is not feasible, however, without the automation from the API client.
There may be some who would say that the best approach is to use XML and books the way that the designers did account for... that is, the whole book becomes an XML document with entity references to the separate chapters. In my work, though, this model was not appropriate... rather, I needed a binary FM book to act like a book, except with XML files as chapters. So, I think I understand your situation.
Is API programming or FrameScript an option for you? I think it may be the only way to get what you are looking for.

Generation of Xml file with java output

Hi i m new to xml and java combination. I have a name value pair kind of output returning from java program. I want to generate the new xml file with the data. Could some one help me out in generating xml file with the data. Could anyone send me the java code that does this task.

Let me know which parser are you using currently for reading xml files so that i assist you. For now, you can refer to STAX Parser API under this link

Creating an XML file with CFFILE on UNIX server

I've run into a problem with creating an XML file on a UNIX
server. I don't have access to the server and I'm trying to create
an XML file so an outside agency can read it through the site URL.
On a Windows machine I use GetDirectoryFromPath and
ExpandPath to return the drive/path info, then I create the file
with this and the query result. On the Unix web server I am only
being returned a relative path, because of this I can't write the
XML file to the web server. Any idea how to get around this?

Knowing as little as I do about Unix I thought you still needed
a drive "letter" to write the XML file to. I've been told I can get
to the root but that it's root is "/bottomFolderName" (I was
expecting R:\webRootPath\yourFolder\etc\XMLFileWrittenHere).
No, that is Windows thinking. You were told right. In Linux,
a path usually begins with the forward slash /.
I had doubts about your code itself. Did you run your version
of my example on Windows? If it works, then you will only have to
replace the Windows path with something like the following. The
rest of the code remains the same.

Creating XML files with the DME

Hi All,
I'm working on an integration project between my company and HSBC, they are requesting that we supply our AP payment files for foreign currency in XML format.
I have some limited experience with the DME and know it can create XML files, however, the elements available for XML files are different to standard flat files. Also it doesnt seem like I can create files with multiple levels? e.g.
<InitgPty>
......... <Id>
............... <OrgId>
...................... <BkPtyId>ABC00103003</BkPtyId>
.............. </OrgId>
........ </Id>
</InitgPty>
Does anyone have any documentation or experience with creating XML files with DME?
thanks

My report contains a BLOB (image), why it can't generate an XML file?

Hi guys,
I created a report (Purchase Order) and it has a Signature field.
which is a BLOB column of an image (.JPEG) of the signature of the Purchase Order Approver.
When i run the report in the report builder its working and it shows the image of the signature.
BUT when i try to generate xml file to use it for the XML Publisher, it generates an xml file with error. which can't be loaded into the .rtf file.
i Googled around and it seems that there are limitations in XML Publisher that can not load a BLOB or LONG RAW fields.
So Please guys i need your help! what can i do now ?
They need the Purchase Order in a custom PDF format, which i can only make it with XML Publisher.

And what I would like to have si something like
Root->.... ->Address-> Name 1,Name 2....
Root -> ...->Telephone-> Name 1, Name 2....
Does anyone know how to do this.

You could write a XSL transformation file that does this and transform your input file via

i have exactly the same problem with KXml2, but using a j2me-polish netbeans project.
i've tried to work around with similar ways like you, but none of them worked. now i've spent 3 days for solving this problem, i'm a bit disappointed :( what is wrong with setting the downloaded kxml2 jar path in libraries&resources?

Can I route non-XML files with NW PI 7.0?
