Create and save XML file

Is Flex able to take form data, put it into an XML file, and
then save that xml file in a specific folder on my server? If so,
could someone point me to a tutorial or an example? Thanks so much
for your help.

I think we are in a bad neighborhood of Flex. Here's what I
found from the forums so far:
"'ve been down this road before, and it isn't possible right
now. It is on our list for the future as this is a much-desired
feature. We are limited to what the browser environment offers.
Plus we have a deep committment to maintain a high standard of
security. Allowing Flash applications to read and write files
directly to the user's hard drive would violate that trust. So part
of our future task is to figure out how to do this in keeping with
the spirit of our security efforts.

Since "we're limited to what the browser environment offers"
we can always use the Save As... to save content directly to the
server or hard drive. I know that's brute force and not what you
are looking for but it is a start. There was some discussion about
Active X which I am not a fan of either. Oh Well...

How to create and save a file in flex web application ?

Hi,
I want to create and save a file form flex web application. Is it possible ?
I have done some googling and found that its only possible through file referece, which needs some serverside implementation be called.
Is it not possible with file reference to create and save file directly ?
Can any one suggest how to over come this.
Thanks in advance.

Alex,
code written with the Flex Builder 3 libraries will certainly run in Flash Player 10. However, what you need is not so much the capabilities of FP10 but the library functionalities of the Flex 4 package. And I think that Flex 4 code will only run in FP10 and not 9 (but haven't tested this as at work we have not yet been permitted to upgrade, so there is not a lot of point going for Flex 4!).

How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

Hi can someone help me with this question?
How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
Cheers!

It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.

Create and writing xml file

Hi all.
I'm starting to learn Java. In my project, I have a class data structure, and I want to save its information into xml file for record. But I'm not sure how to do..
Does java provide easier interface to construct an XML file ? or I need to use OutputStream ?
Can anyone give me some examples or teach me how to do?
many thanks

Hi,
The code you have written looks great and nothing really needs to be changed. I will offer a couple of comments though.
The first is that there is an easier API for adding attributes that you might wish to use. The following:
rootElement.setAttribute(Tag_Version, "3");Is equivalent to:
Attr atr = document.createAttribute(Tag_Version);
atr.setValue("3");
rootElement.setAttributeNode(atr);Also whenever possible I prefer to use standard APIs rather than proprietary ones. I took your code and rewrote it using JAXP APIs, more code is required since JAXP does not offer the same convenience as the XDK but multiple parsers support the JAXP standard (including the XDK) and this makes your code portable across different parser implementations.

My boss cannot create a new subfolder by pressing "new folder" until he's already saved the file to his desktop. A "read only" error appears the first time. Is there a way to create and save to subfolder directly? It's Mavericks/Macbook Pro

Hi, when my boss wants to save a new file in a new subfolder, he presses "new folder" but cannot create a new one because a “read only” error box appears. Once he saves the file to his Desktop he clicks on “save as” again and then he can create a new subfolder by pressing “new folder.” Is there a way to create and save to a subfolder directly without having to first save somewhere else?

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Create and save a .pdf file

Afternoon! I am creating a pdf utilizing the cfdocument tag and it works great. It opens and displays well. My question is, is there a way to automatically save that generated pdf on the server without opening it? My end goal is to run a scheduled task every week that creates and saves a pdf automatically.

<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape" filename="YourPDFName.pdf" overwrite="yes">
it will save a copy of the pdf in the same folder as the <cfdocument> is run from, the problem I got is it wond display the pdf at creation time, all that is returned to my screen is the letter "z"
so may be best to fun the code in a loop and one time add in the filename and overwrite paramaters, if you dont need it displayed, then your gold.

Hi All,
I need code of How to open and save excel file in local system in Oracle forms.
With Regards,
Chandra Shekhar

Hello Chandra,
Webutil can be used to achieve this functionality.
STEPS TO FOLLOW
================
1. Install and configure Webutil following instructions in the webutil manual
and the readme file.
2. Create a form with a block Eg. DEPT
3. Create a button, and in that button put the following code -
DECLARE
application Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
workbooks Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
workbook Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
worksheets Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
worksheet Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
args Client_OLE2.List_Type;
cell ole2.Obj_Type;
j INTEGER;
k INTEGER;
BEGIN
application := Client_OLE2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
workbooks := Client_OLE2.Get_Obj_Property(application, 'Workbooks');
workbook := Client_OLE2.Invoke_Obj(workbooks, 'Add');
worksheets := Client_OLE2.Get_Obj_Property(workbook, 'Worksheets');
worksheet := Client_OLE2.Invoke_Obj(worksheets, 'Add');
go_block('dept');
first_record;
j:=1;
k:=1;
while :system.last_record = 'FALSE'
loop
for k in 1..3 /* DEPT has 3 columns */
loop
If not name_in(:system.cursor_item) is NULL Then
args:=Client_OLE2.create_arglist;
Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, j);
Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, k);
cell:=Client_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet, 'Cells', args);
Client_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
Client_OLE2.set_property(cell, 'Value', name_in(:system.cursor_item));
Client_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
End If;
next_item;
end loop;
j:=j+1;
next_record;
end loop;
/* For the last record */
for k in 1..3
loop
If not name_in(:system.cursor_item) is NULL Then
args:=Client_OLE2.create_arglist;
Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, j);
Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, k);
cell:=Client_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet, 'Cells', args);
Client_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
Client_OLE2.set_property(cell, 'Value', name_in(:system.cursor_item));
Client_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
End If;
next_item;
end loop;
Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(worksheet);
Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(worksheets);
/* Save the Excel file created */
args := Client_OLE2.Create_Arglist;
Client_OLE2.Add_Arg(args,'d:\test.xls');
Client_OLE2.Invoke(workbook, 'SaveAs', args);
Client_OLE2.Destroy_Arglist(args);
/* release workbook */
Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(workbook);
Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(workbooks);
/* Release application */
Client_OLE2.Invoke(application, 'Quit');
Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(application);
END;
4. Save the form and compile it.
5. Run the form.
6. Execute the query in the block.
7. Click on the button.
8. An excel file will be created in the d:\ directory by the name test.xls.
Kind regards,
Alex

Help with creating a new XML file from an existing DOM tree!!

i want to create a new XML file from an existing DOM tree
i used this code to create a new document:
static public Document createDocument(String fileName) throws ParserConfigurationException//,IOException,SAXException
          try {
               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               factory.setIgnoringComments(true);
               factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
               factory.setValidating(true);
               DocumentBuilder builder =factory.newDocumentBuilder();
               return builder.newDocument();
//          handle exception creating DocumentBuilder
          catch ( ParserConfigurationException parserError ) {
                    throw new ParserConfigurationException();
          }then i used this code to transform the DOM :
public void exportDocument(Document document) {
          try {
               Source xmlSource = new DOMSource( document );
               Result result = new StreamResult( System.out );
               TransformerFactory transformerFactory =
                    TransformerFactory.newInstance();
               Transformer transformer =transformerFactory.newTransformer();
               transformer.setOutputProperty( "indent", "yes" );
               transformer.transform( xmlSource, result );
       //then catching the exceptions
But the file was not created and i didn't find where can i specify the DTD that the XML file should use and where can i enter the name of the XML file itself
Another questoin can i write a DTD file dynamically during the execution of the program??

How to set SAXParser at command-line interface to create a large XML file

Hi,
I am trying to create a large XML file (more than 50 MB) by selecting from Oracle database but failed because of "out of memory" error. According to "Oracle XML Developer Guide", we should use SAXParser to parsing a large XML file. But there is no example to show how to set SAXParser at command-line
Following is what I use to get xml files. It works only when the file is small.
java OracleXML getXML -DateFormat -withDTD -rowsetTag PO_HDR -conn
"jdbc:oracle:oci8:@server_name" -user "ID/password" "select * from table_name"
When I set SAXParser at the way below,
java oracle.xml.parser.v2.SAXParser OracleXML getXML -DateFormat -withDTD -rowsetTag PO_HDR -conn
"jdbc:oracle:oci8:@server_name" -user "ID/password" "select * from table_name"
it failed with the error message: "In class oracle.xml.parser.v2.SAXParser: void main(String argv[]) is not defined"
Does anyone know how to solve the problem? I'll be appreciated very much for your help.
Yi

here are my ideas.
register the xml schema.
using xmldom, generate the desired xml output and return as xmltype.
then you can use something like this to check.
declare
xmldoc xmltype ;
begin
   -- populate xmldoc from you xmldom function
   -- validate against XML schema
   xmldoc.isSchemaValid(schema_url, root_element);
   if xmldoc.isSchemaValid = 1 then
        --valid schema
   else
        --invalid
   end if;
end

Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
Thanks

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.

You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

How do I create a sidecar.xml file?

Hello- I have used Johannes' very rad sidecar generator and adobe's instructions on how to upload the file, but can't seem to get it to work. I have a feeling it's because they both start with an assumption:
"Use a text editor or an XML editor to create a sidecar.xml file..."
"Write the lines into a sidecar.xml file"
How do I create the original sidecar.xml file, in which to paste the metadata generated by Johannes' tool?
http://projects.nordsueddesign.de/sidecarxml/#
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60606c7754128c7a9c00e-7f ff.html

You use the web interface of xmlsidecar generator made by Johannes Henseler and the push the button there "generate". Copy paste that into a plain text file and then change tex extension from txt to xml. That's how you do a sidecar.xml the easy way.
Afterwards, yo've got to import "multiple files" (or "many files"... my DPS is a Spanish one) from Folio Builder.
If the folder are structured properly, folio builder will start swallowing the data of sidecar and uploading the articles.
Right now, while posting this, my pc is doing that with about one hundred articles. As happy and busy as a beaver in heat
