CDATA in xml file

Hi everybody
Can anyone tell me the best way to transform parts of my xml file as CDATA ?
For some part of my xml file i need the '&lt' '&gt' instead of < and > .
Thanks for your help

Hi michal
I tried using [[!CDATA in different formats as you suggested but none is producing the desired result. Can you identify which format you have exactly used and let me know please?
This is my xml file
<ns0:QueryString_Initial_MT xmlns:ns0="urn:ABG.com/EDI/PurchaseOrders">
   <pin/>
   <user_id/>
   <pwd/>
   <orders_lines>
      <isbn>sfdg</isbn>
      <record_dues>fgfh</record_dues>
      <part_supply>fdg</part_supply>
      <order_quantity>fdds</order_quantity>
      <order_line_reference>ffg</order_line_reference>
      <special_instructions>f</special_instructions>
      <affiliate_id>dfg</affiliate_id>
      <promotional_code>df</promotional_code>
   </orders_lines>
   <orders_ref>f</orders_ref>
</ns0:QueryString_Initial_MT>
I want the <orders_line> tag and its sub tags to be presented as a string.
Even an XSLT for it be a great help.
thanks a lot

Extracting cdata from xml file ( if_ixml_cdata_section )

Hello,
We will receive xml files containing product data that I want to upload into the sales text of our materials in JP28.
Using the iXML library with T_FILE_PARSE program as an example I can easily extract most fields but the problem is that one field has paragraphs of text in CData. Using the code bellow I can extract some of the data as a string but it's too short to get everything.
case node->get_type( ).
      when if_ixml_node=>co_node_cdata_section.
        break grainneq.
        text = node->get_value( ).
        write: / 'CDATA:'.
        write at indent text color col_group inverse.
Looking in the library

My bad, text was in fact receiving the full string (I thought it was truncating).
So I've just added a function module to split the string into lines that the CREATE_TEXT fm can handle.
Both responses were helpful so I've awarded points....although the question was probably confusing to you as the data was there along:)
Thanks for the quick response in any case.

Dreamweaver - using CDATA in xml file

Greetings, I am a designer, not much of a coder... trying to bring in an xml file into an html file using the Spry Menu. I went through creating the .xml file, inserting a Spry table, all working with success. EXCEPT that the CData link I have referenced is coming up as text, not a link. I thought a CDATA attribute would be read as html.
Here's the TEST.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<orgs>
<org>
            <name><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.animaltribes.com">Animal Tribes</a>]]></name>
            <type>Sanctuary</type>
            <animal>Horses</animal>
            <animaltype>Wild Horses</animaltype>
            <city>Reno</city>
            <state>NV</state>
        </org>
</orgs>

I did not think I needed a .xsl page for a simple table like this. I feel like I am missing something basic! Please help. Much appreciated.

Thanks for your quick response!
So all I need to do is change the html file to add the line you suggested. The html file looks like this now:

I am getting FAILED TO RETRIEVE DATA SET (dsTest1) FOR SPRY REPEAT.
Or do should I start over and re-insert the Spry region?
Sorry for being a neophyte and thank you for your patience!

There are several Java XML API's available. SAX, JXpath, DOM4J, Xerces, etcetera.

XML file size increases GREATLY with ![CDATA[

I have several .xml files that provide info for a website of
mine and was quite surprised to discover, while I was uploading
them, that some of them were around 60-70kb, while others were 4kb
or less. Knowing that the amount of content in all of them doesn't
vary that much, I noticed that the biggest file sizes corresponded
to the files using <![CDATA[ ]]>.
I included a sample file code below. It's in Portuguese, but
I think it's still obvious that this file could not be more than a
few kb, and Dreamweaver (CS3) saves it with a whopping 62kb!
I tried saving the exact same file in Text Edit and it
resulted in a normal file size.
Has anyone encountered similar situations? I'm guessing this
is some sort of bug, that Dreamweaver puts some extra content -
somewhere - because of the CDATA. Is there any sort of reason or
fix for this?
Thanks in advance.

Ok... embarassing moment. Just realized that DW CS3 is not
guilty. In Leopard, in the file's Get Info panel, I changed the
preferred application to open it, and the file's size changed
according to different applications. Reverting back to DW CS3, it
still resulted in the 60-70kb size, but deleting the file and
saving a new one it the same name solved the problem.
Sorry guys.

Preserving CDATA when reading then writing XML files

Hi All,
I have some source XML that needs to have an update applied and then written back out into a new directory. This all works fine except some of the other elements have values with CDATA around them in the input file and on the output file the CDATA is replaced and the characters substituted ie: turned in &
This is (I guess) default behaviour but I would like the CDATA preserved and writing out into the new XML file.
How can I do this ?
Regards,
Steve

Found the answer :
        DOMParser dp = new DOMParser();
        dp.retainCDATASection(true);
        dp.parse(xmlFile);
        xmlDoc = (XMLDocument)dp.getDocument();

Reference a DSL from CDATA section in an Xml file

I use a DSL along with some XML files in an Eclipse project. I would like to reference some of the DSL entities from within a CDATA section in the XML files and provide content assist for doing so.
Would I need to define a DSL for the XML and then implement some DSL cross referencing ?
Would I lose the default XML features of Eclipse if I do so ?
Is there a way to overload the XML support built into Eclipse for implementing this ?

I don't know about the extension capabilities of the XML editor. You would need to investigate how this editor can be extended first. This might be a question for Eclipse Web Tools Platform, if you use that XML editor (there are several XML editor plugins available).

Is it possible to generate this XML file?

<RULE_ELEMENT_REF ID="TERRITORYVARIABLE" NAME="CAN-Territory Variable"/>
</TERRITORY_EXPRESSION>
</RULE>
</RULE_SET>

I investigated some of the dbms_xmlgen features, but I can't understand how to define the following tag, for example:
"<RULE BUSINESS_UNITS="Canada" CALENDAR="Main Monthly Calendar" EFFECTIVE_END_DATE="01-Jan-2200" EFFECTIVE_START_DATE="01-Jan-2005" NAME="CAN-Direct Sales Booking Credit" TYPE="DIRECT_TRANSACTION_CREDIT">"
Any help is welcome.
Thanks.

I would offer that the SQL/XML functions of XMLElement/XMLForest/XMLAgg would be more appropriate to your situation. They give you finer control over the XML that is generated. You can find examples in this forum or the {forum:id=34} forum.

Uploading xml file in a background job .

Hi Experts ,
I am uploading a xml file from application server to internal table .
While uploading from presentation server I get the value of stream as ( first few lines )
Case 1 :
?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" standalone=
"yes"?><WPUBON01>## <IDOC BEGIN="1">##    <EDI_DC
40 SEGMENT="1">##      <TABNAM>EDI_DC40</TABNAM>##
but while uploading from application server , I get :
Case 2 :
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>##<WPUBON01>## <IDOC BEGIN="1">##    <EDI
DC40 SEGMENT="1">##      <TABNAM>EDIDC40</TABNAM>##      <MANDT>108</MANDT>##
Difference is of unicode 16 as seen in file from presentation server .
As a result File from Presentation server is getting uploaded in internal table , but not from Application Server . In this case internal table is coming blank .
I am using :
      CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
          EXPORTING
            text   = stream
          IMPORTING
            buffer = xstring
          EXCEPTIONS
            failed = 1
            OTHERS = 2.
        IF sy-subrc = 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
        ENDIF.
here xstring is coming blank when you use same file from application server .
*Extract data from xsting to internal table
        CALL FUNCTION 'SMUM_XML_PARSE'
          EXPORTING
            xml_input = xstring
          TABLES
            xml_table = it_data
            return    = it_ret.
I am getting error it it_ret as :
line   1 col   1-unexpected symbol; expected '<', '</', entity reference, character data, CDATA section, processing instruction or comment
How to get file like case 1 . or how to convert to utf-16 ?
I am using :
OPEN DATASET l_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE    .
DO.
READ DATASET l_filename INTO l_xml_line.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
APPEND l_xml_line TO l_xml_table.
ELSE.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET l_filename.
LOOP AT l_xml_table INTO l_xml_line.
c_conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = l_xml_line-data
replacement
= space ).
c_conv->read( IMPORTING data = l_content len = l_len ).
CONCATENATE l_str1 l_content INTO l_str1.
ENDLOOP.
Help please ......

Hi Alpana ,
Thanks for the reply .
I already am uploading data in internal table . If you see through my question ,
My problem is modify the error in xml file uploaded in l_xml_table through read dataset .
My file has been uploaded   from application server as
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<WPUBON01>
<IDOC BEGIN="1">
This file is getting changed while uploading from presentation server as

      <MANDT>108</MANDT>##      <DOCNUM>3C10000001
notice the addition   'encoding="utf-16" ' .
How to achieve this addition .
If i am uploading it frompresentation server it is getting uploaded in internal table successfully , but not from application server
so that i can parse this xml file into xstring successfulyy to get it into internal table thru function module
CALL FUNCTION 'SMUM_XML_PARSE'
          EXPORTING
            xml_input = xstring
            xml_input = l_string_output
          TABLES
            xml_table = it_data
            return    = it_ret.
Please help me in hanging the file stream .

How to retrieve image from XML file

Hi All,
I am new to XML. So any best guidance is appreciated.
The application requirement is to display image retrived from uploaded xml file in file upload section of our application. And store that image in database.
In my XML file , images & strings & numbers & booleans are there . I am able to save everything in database except images .
I am using JSF, Seam & Hibernate combination. In my Hibernate entity class i took BLOB datatype for image.
I am using following tags in my Xhtml file to display image
<s:graphicImage value="#{hibernateentitybean.picBlobtype}" height="200" width="200">
<s:transformImageSize width="200" height="200" />
<s:transformImageType contentType="image/jpeg"/>
But image is not displayed in Xhtml file
I am using org.w3c.dom.Document for retrieving node name & corresponding value in that node in XML file.
I am getting code like below for Image when i am logging all values from XML files in my bean class .
x0lGQRQAAAABAAAAAAAAAFJHAQARAAAAVwBhAHQAZQByACAAbABpAGwAaQBlAHMALgBqAHAAZwAAAP/Y/+AAEEpGSUYAAQIBAGAAYAAA/+0YLl
I want to convert this value to image. So i can convert image to bytes and store in BLOB.
Can anyone guide me ? or any other approach .
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Regards,
Naresh

My XHTML-file has this in the header:
var nav = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("/pages.xml",
"pages/page");
nav.setColumnType("@id", "number");
nav.setColumnType("content", "html"); // skips entity
encoding \o/
I want to display everything in the <content />-xml
tree as (X)HTML
With the code I have everything works perfectly in Firefox,
but in Internet Explorer (7) I'm getting no data at all because of
entityEncodeStrings not functioning correctly (or so it seems). If
I remove this it displays in both Firefox and Internet Explorer
(though with the entities encoded).
It doesn't matter which way I do it, using the option
entityEncodeStrings: false or -1 I get the same (non-)results.
I'm very thankful for any help!

Could you please tel me why the first 8 lines were removed, till <Soap:Body and also added the line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> in the beggining .
Becuase there will be lot of XML files will be coming from the Vendor daily and that should be uploaded in the application server and should update in the SAP tables based on the data in the XML file.
what information i need to give to vendor that do not add the first 8 lines in the XML file and add the line in the beggining <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>   ??????
Is there any other way we can do with out removing the lines?
