CDATA tag in xml

Does anyone know if CDATA tag is supported for values. For example can XI do the following;
<vendor-name><![CDATA[MOON FREIGHT LINES, INC.]]></vendor-name>
The vendor name value is "MOON FREIGHT LINES, INC." which is included in the CDATA tag. Can XI parse correctly and give me the correct value? We don't have a system in place yet and i can't test it out.
Thanks.

Hello,
In SAP - ABAP, I am outputing a xml file. In that i am outputing the following:
<position> <5 </position>.
But as '<5' will not pass directly into the xml phraser, i have used the following.
<position><![CDATA[<5]]> </position>.
But when I am opening the file in xml editor it is showing me the following output.
"<position><![CDATA[<5]]></position>." where all the < symbols are replaced by< and > symbol with > for CDATA section.
But when i am opening the file in internet, it is giving me the correct output as :
<position><![CDATA[<5]]> </position>.
I want the above output ( <position><![CDATA[<5]]> </position>.) to come in xml editor.
Could anyone please guide me in this regard. It is very urgent.
Thank you .

Using CDATA tags in XML program and parsing to J2ME

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to use CDATA tag in a xml file and parse it to my J2ME code. is there any sample code available for this? I want to use this CDATA tag for sending Binary data. plzzzzzzz Help....!

I think what you want is to parse a CDATA text from a xml file and let this text to execute.
Very innovative idea!
If I am right, I think you might mix some concept.
Java code need to be changed to ByteCode before pased to the JVM. Furthermore, Java ME code must be verified before downloading to your machine.
I figure that your attempt is impossible.

Remove Cdata tags from XML body

Integration Broker message is being publish from the Peoplecode in the savepostchange event of a page......So basically when they click on the save, it is being published.
ok, I have title field on a page and the user entered special character "&" and there is a HTML definition being used and that definition goes through parsexmlstring function.
For example In the cust_title field on a page the user entered " A & B"
I went to the HTML definition and wrapped cust_title field in the CDATA tags like <![CDATA[<Title>%BIND(:8)</Title>]]>
Now , there is no error, XML is getting published. But in the xml message
I see Cdata tags and string is appearing exactly as it was entered.....
But how can I get rid of the Cdata tags from the XML message?

Dear Odie,
May I make your example a bit more complicated by adding an additional complexType, please:
---Original ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
</DEPT>
----- New ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
<EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
<DEVISION>1</DEVISION>
<FROM_DATE>2011-01-01 </FROM_DATE>
<TO_DATE></TO_DATE>
</EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
</DEPT>
Your solution works perfectly for <SALARY>, but how would you suggest also to deal with <TO_DATE> ?
Massive thanks for your help!
N.B. Just to emphasise, in my case I have 3 levels (complexType > complexType > complexType) and many elements and I would like to know if there is any generic option to say
to remove all the empty elements from the result, as it causes to the SSJ (Systinet) Webservice to crash.

Having issue with XML in CDATA tag

Currently I am having a major issue that I've been dealing with for the last four days unsuccessfully. I run a search against our data provider (lets say the term searched on is 'foobar'). We get back an XML document on our server along with a list of objects that has the start index of where the hit terms are found and the length from the start of the index (our data provider calculates all of this for us). We then take that XML document in its exact state as it's given to us from our data provider and wrap it in a CDATA tag and put it into another XML document and pass that to our FLEX app. The document looks something like this coming back from the server (we're using REST). This is not the true original document as it was shortened for readability.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>
<ID>123456</ID>
<HITTERMS>
<HITTERM index="45" length="6" />
<HITTERM index="105" length="6" />
<HITTERM index="260" length="6" />
</HITTERMS>
<DocumentXML><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DOC DOCUMENT_ID="123456" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<TEXT>
There would be just standard text.
Some breaks for example like the start of new paragraphs, but otherwise all the foobar text would be condensed like this.
</TEXT>
</ARTICLE>
</DOC>]]></DocumentXML>
</Document>
I've confirmed the XML coming from the server looks exactly as it does above. The issue is for some reason whenever I try to get the text out of '<DocumentXML>' it formats the code in a way that won't work for me since it throws off the offsets of the hit terms and changes the original document. Whenever I do a .toString() on the XML it puts breaks before each '<' and after each '>' so it spaces everything out inside the CDATA tag. Now the XML looks like this when turned into a string:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Document>
<ID>123456</ID>
<HITTERMS>
<HITTERM index="45" length="6" />

]]>
</DocumentXML>
</Document>
I need to be able to keep the original document as-is in the first example so I can calculate where the hit terms are so that I can highlight them and there are things further down the road that I'm going to need to be able to do so a simple search and replace will not get the job done unfortunately. Has anyone ever encountered this before or have any idea possibly how to fix this. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.

Didn't work. Now it spaces out all of the XML, not just the document wrapped in the CDATA tag. Looks like this now:

Encapsulating Data in XML Output in CDATA tags

Hi,
I have a simple pdf fillable form that I created in LiveCycle Designer ES that saves/submits form data as XML for parsing into a database. The database parser requires all form data to be encapsulated into CDATA tags inside the XML fieldnames or it will not process it. Can anyone give some pointers to force the XML output to encapsulate the data inside CDATA tags within the XML fieldnames in my output XML file? Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
Can you post a sample of what you want the xml to look like. If I understand correctly, it sounds like a very strange parser. I would imagine you would have to preprocess the xml on the server.

Bruce

How to insert a new line character inside CDATA tag in the source xml data file?

values for form fields in the xml data file is contained inside CDATA tags which is an Unparsed Format.
Eg: [CDATA[IBM-01 ~ DSHFSJDSJ ~ FGFGFJ, ~ VA 665665]] delimited by "~" char
Actual o/p:-
IBM-01 ~ DSHFSJDSJ ~ FGFGFJ, ~ VA 665665
Expected o/p is like :-
IBM-01
DSHFSJDSJ
FGFGFJ,
VA 665665
live cycle product does not interpret ~ as a newline character. Please suggest which character should be used instead inside CDATA section or if there is any other way to fix this?

I do not have any problem while using IE's XML parser
for XML+XSLT merging.That is because IE's parser does not implement XML correctly.
But when I use JAXP's Transformer object, it does not
preserve the new lines inside attribute values and
converts those into white spaces.That is exactly what the XML specifications say should happen.
>
----If you have text that contains newlines, you
should put it in an element, not in
----an attribute.
That would be my last solution. But I'd really hate
to change my logic just 'coz JAXP is not capable of
handling new lines inside attribute values. I may be
wrong... but If IE can keep those then there has to
be a way to do the same from server side merging....Sure. Write your own parser with the same bug in it. But you don't have any right to demand that other people supply you with parsers that work incorrectly.

Parsing errors with CDATA tags using oracle xml parser v2

I'm using the oracle.xml.parser.v2 parser to combine a
generated xml document from a database with a static
xsl file to produce html. Within the xml document, there
are fairly large CDATA sections (500 lines) which happen
to contain javaScript.
Occasionally, I'm getting xml tags in the final html
document! It seems that the oracle parser pukes
on a certain type of data within a CDATA tag, and then
replaces an angle bracket (<) of a tag with a #60. This
can cause html tags being viewed in the document. At
first, I thought the amount of JavaScript within the
CDATA tag was too large for the parser to handle,
because when I split it up into 2 or more parts the errors
went away. But, re-arranging the JavaScript (String in the CDATA tag)
can make the errors disappear. And, if I
use the Saxon parser to manually combine the xsl with
the xml, the output is fine. If anyone knows that this is
a confirmed bug by Oracle, or any other relevant info on
this, please let me know.

Hi,
Your lucky, i've just finished a project that used the oracle parser extensively.
I think the problem may stem from your xsl. Although your cdata tags may be well formed, in the xsl you might need to escape the text again, this may mean that the xsl needs to print a further cdata tag around the data. This is because the parser (well the version I was using) strips the cdata tags before the transformation happens.
This is the probably the cause of the nasty html output.

HTML tags in XML document

I have an application that loads information from an XML file
and displays in a dynamic text box. That works great. Now, I want
to add HTML tags to the information in the XML file so the dynamic
text box will format it. If I add straight html:
<Answer1>of earth, <b>air</b>, fire, and
water.</Answer1>
I get a null displayed in the text box. If I encode
<Answer1>of earth,
>b<air>/<, fire, and
water.</Answer1>
Then it displays
of earth, <b>air</b>, fire, and water.
Any help on how to embedded html code into an XML document so
a dynamic text box uses the html code?
Thanks.

Just use CDATA tags around your HTML values, eg:
<Answer1><![CDATA[of earth, <b>air</b>,
fire, and water.]]></Answer1>

How to remoce CDATA tag from XSLT mapping

Hi Sharma,
Please remove all CDATA elements from your code and execute so that you will get expected output. Because CDATA term we will use while writing
DTD for your source xml, so this is not required in XSL Program. check below code....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
     <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <DlrDiscItemWise>
               <DlrDiscItemWiseXML>
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></xsl:text>
                    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></xsl:text>

               </DlrDiscItemWiseXML>
          </DlrDiscItemWise>

Firefox 4 displays closing CDATA tag ]] on the screen for object tag

With the recent Firefox 4 version. I am facing following problems with the website I am developing:
1. For svg objects inside html page with Firefox 4 it now displays closing CDATA tag on the screen.
It only displays ]]> on the screen.
I have object specified using
<pre><nowiki><object class="svgobj batteryGraphObj" type="image/svg+xml">
<![CDATA[
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
]]>......
</object></nowiki></pre>
2. When the svg is added using div tags it doesn't display on the screen if the width is more than browser width. It was working on Firefox 3.6 but have stopped working with 4. We had a overflow specified with scrolling effect on the screen if user wants to view next section.

Put html tag in xml genreted with strings panel

Hello,
I created an multilanguage application with the "strings
"panel.
My customer need to put some words in italic inside the
dynamic textfield.
So I used <i> tag or cdata tag insied the xml, but
nothing works, even if I put the textfield in "html" format.
So How can I do.
Do we need to change the "locale.as" class?
thanks.
Regards,

Is the dynamic text field set to embed the fonts? (Properties
Panel >
Character.... radio button clicked to specify ranges)
If it is, set it to no characters. Also make sure your
dynamic text field
is set in the properties panel to render as html.
Here is a test:
Create a new Flash document, select the text tool from the
tools menu and
create a text area on the stage. Make it a dynamic text field
in the
properties panel and click the render as html button. Give it
an instance
name of "myText" and on frame one of the main timeline put
the following
actionscript.
myText.htmlText = "<i> This is Italics</i>. This
is not"
Test the movie and it should show what you are looking for.

Using CDATA in Script (XML)

Hello,
I'm trying to create an XML var using CDATA to get some htmlText.
Sample:
<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
          var newXML:XML = XML("<node><![CDATA["+ myRichTE.htmlText+" ]]></node>")
    ]]>
<fx:Script>
<mx:RichTextEditor id="myRichTE" />
But i get an error on this line. (give it a try, something about an unclosed tag, can't give the exact english error message since i got french UI)
It seems that you can't use
<![CDATA[xxxx]]>
in Script section of an Application (in addition of the main CDATA which contains all Script), since it interprets as a real CDATA.
And I think I can't do without it to store the htmlText inside an XML node.
Any ideas ?
(maybe by "escaping" the CDATA tag ?)
Thanks a lot.

Indeed, actually, it is as simple as this :
<fx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
          myXMLnode = myRichTE.htmlText
     ]]>
<fx:Script>
<mx:RichTextEditor id="myRichTE" />
It is correctly inserted into the XML, by replacing tags with their corresponding html entities.

How to display data containing CDATA tags in JSP/HTML?

Hi,
I'm getting some data from a webservice and displaying it in JSP. But some data from the service (like description of an item) contains CDATA tags.
For ex: This is the data from the webservice.
<BenefitsIssues><![CDATA[This strategy buys after a very rapid or extreme sell off with the hope that the gap will eventually be filled. <br>Typically, traders following these types of strategies expect some very large losses as downtrends continue.<br>Traders should take only very small positions when trading this strategy and never dedicate more than a small amount of risk capital in aggregate to this strategy.]]></BenefitsIssues>
where <BenefitsIssues> is the XML tag. My code displays everything within this tag in JSP.
Code is JSP looks like this.
<tr><td><%=strategyDescriptor.getBenefitsIssues()%></td></tr>
Eventually the HTML output of this JSP looks like..
<tr><td>![CDATA[This strategy buys after a very rapid or extreme sell off with the hope that the gap will eventually be filled. <br>Typically, traders following these types of strategies expect some very large losses as downtrends continue.<br>Traders should take only very small positions when trading this strategy and never dedicate more than a small amount of risk capital in aggregate to this strategy.]]</td></tr>
Problem is that the page fails to display the first line, "This strategy buys after a very rapid...." and starts displaying only from "Typically, traders following these....", i.e after the occurrence of first <br> tag. Page also displays "]]" at the end.
How I can get rid of this problem? One way is to remove "![CDATA[" and "]]" from the data received from webservice. I would like to know if any other better solutions is there. Is there any predefined function to remove "![CDATA[" ?
Thanks in advance for the help.

ALSB 3.0 - Problem adding CDATA Tags using XSLT

Hi all,
I am having a problem using ALSB to insert CDATA tags into some XML.
Here's a simple example of the stylesheet I am using:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="[http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform]" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<a>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="no" select="'<![CDATA['"/>
<b/>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="no" select="']]>'"/>
</a>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In XMLSpy, this produces the following output:
<a>
<![CDATA[
<b />
]]>
</a>
Which is correct.
However, when running the same transformation as an XSLT in ALSB, I get the following output:
<a>
<?javax.xml.transform.disable-output-escaping?>
& lt ;
<?javax.xml.transform.enable-output-escaping?>
![CDATA[
<b />
<?javax.xml.transform.disable-output-escaping?>
& gt ;
<?javax.xml.transform.enable-output-escaping?>
</a>
From some digging about online, I've found that the
"<?javax.xml.transform.enable-output-escaping?>" elements are
processing instructions.
Has anyone else had similar issues?
Or more importantly, has anyone fixed this?
Cheers,
Dave
Edited by: DaveFeeder on 10-Dec-2008 12:36

I've found a solution to this now.
I've used the fn-bea:serialize XQuery function to serialized the data, having the same effect as manually trying to insert the CDATA,and if anything, is a neater solution.
Cheers
Dave
