Create single XML document from multiple queries

hi all!
being a new programmer in XML world,my question might sound a bit stupid but your answers would mean a world to me. i have to generate a single XML document from my database by querying more than one table. for example i have 3 tables i.e HR_EMP_NAME, HR_PRODUCTS_DETAIL, HR_PAYROLL_SUMMARY. all three tables have completely different columns except one ID column which is a foreign kay from HR_MASTER_LIST. i want to get any insert operation on these tables as a single document. so far as i have studied, one option is to generate XMLDoc using XSU and then add child nodes using JAXP but i am ot geting the logic right.
please do reply.
thanks a lot

This is an SQL/XML based answer so how much it helps you is hard to say, but it would be one option. You can have the SQL statement build the XML for you as shown by this simple example.
SELECT XMLElement("root",
 XMLForest(emp.dummy AS "emp_name",
 prod.dummy AS "prod_lvl",
 pay.dummy AS "pay_scale"))
FROM dual emp,
 dual prod,
 dual pay
WHERE emp.dummy = prod.dummy
AND emp.dummy = pay.dummy;which produces (formatted for human readability)
<root>
<emp_name>X</emp_name>
<prod_lvl>X</prod_lvl>
<pay_scale>X</pay_scale>
</root>Whether that works with what you are trying to do via Java you will have to decide.

Automate creating single PDF file from multiple documents

Hi everyone ! I am testing the Adobe XI version, especially because I need it for a very specific function.I haven't found it yet, maybe you guys can help ?
Basically, I need to make a user friendly system, that in one click will create a single PDF document from multiple files :
To be more precise : I have in a folder on the network 25 different documents (Word and PDF mainly). Some of these documents change weekly. What I need as an end result is a single PDF, that combines these 25 ones in a specific order, and the tricky part is I need to automate this so that someone with absolutely no knowledge of Acrobat can perform this task, with just a click.
I have found of course the procedure to manually build such a combined PDF, but as you can see it does not fulfil my needs.
So that's it, as simple as that
As a bonus question : I am still struggling with the construction of these documents : in the Word documents I use, there are both internal links within the document, and links between the documents (pointing to other Word files, or PDF files). I keep losing those links when I combine, is there something I am missing ?
Second bonus question : I would like to have multiple levels of signets, but for some reason all my signets are at the same hierarchical level. Anything I am doing wrong ?
A free electronic doughnut for anyone giving me a hint !

When you combine you have many PDFs together in one, new PDF. Your orignal links are from one specific file to another specific file. A combine does not change the link in the original file. So the link is now from the PDFcombined to the second specific file. However, "second specific file" won't be present - so, "broken link".
Be well...

How to create an XML document from a String.

Can anyone help,
 In the Microsoft XML Document DOM there is a load function load(string) which will create an XML document, but now we are switching to Java and I do not know how to create and XML document from a string, this string �xml document� is passed to my program from a webservice and I need to read several xml elements form it in a web server.
This string is a well formatted XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Countries NumberOfRecords="1" LanguageID="en-us">
 <Country>
 <CountryCode>AU</CountryCode>
 <CountryName>AUSTRALIA</CountryName>
 </Country>
</Countries>

Thanks PC!
I made it work using:
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
factory.setIgnoringComments(true); // We want to ignore comments
// Now use the factory to create a DOM parser
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
//TransformThisStringBuffer is a string buffer wich contain the 'XML document (String)'
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(TransformThisStringBuffer.toString().getBytes());
// Parse the InputStream and build the document
Document document = parser.parse(in);
But which one is faster InputSource or InputStream, were would you put the "new InputSource(new StringReader(yourString))" in the above code?

How to Create an XML document from XSQL servlet which follows a particular DTD struct

how to Create an XML document from XSQL servlet which follows a particular DTD structure.Could anyone send me a sample code for this.

You'll need to associate an XSLT transformation with your XSQL page that transforms the canonical result into your DTD-valid format.
For example, given an XSQL page like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="rss.xsl" ?>
<xsql:query max-rows="3" connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
select title,id,description,url,to_char(timestamp,'Mon DD') timestamp
from site_entry
order by id desc
</xsql:query>and an "rss.xsl" stylesheet that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" doctype-system="rss-0.91.dtd"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="ROWSET/ROW">
<rss version="0.91">

</xsl:stylesheet>You produce DTD-valid output against the rss-0.91.dtd DTD that looks like:

How to save sections of a single XML Document to multiple tables ?

Firstly, I apologise for the long e-mail but I feel it's necessary in order to clarify my problem/question.
The XML document representation below stores information about a particular database. From the information in the XML document you can tell that there is a single database called "tst" which contains a single table called "tst_table". This table in turn has two columns called "CompanyName" & "Country".
I want to use Oracle's XML SQL Utility to store this information into three seperate database tables. Specifically, I want to store the information pertaining to the database (i.e. name etc.) in one table, the information pertaining to the table (name, no. of columns etc.) in another and the information pertaining to the columns (name, type etc.) in yet another table.
I have seen samples where an entire XML Document is saved to a database table but I cannot find any examples where different sections of a single XML Document are saved into different database tables using the XML SQL Utility.
Can you please tell me the best approach to take in order to accomplish this . Does it involve creating an XMLDocument and then extracting the relevant sections as XMLDocumentFragment's, retrieving the String representations of these XMLDocumentFragment's and passing these strings to the OracleXMLSave.insertXml() method.
Is this the best approach to take or are there any other, perhaps more efficient or elegant, ways of doing this ?
Thanks in advance for your help

You are interested in XMLElement and probably XMLAgg. Since you didn't list a version, I can't provide links to the corresponding documentation. I cringe at all the attributes on the Patient element as that info should really be elements.
To create the Measure node, your overall SQL statement may look something like (not tested)
SELECT XMLElement....
 XMLAgg(SELECT XMLElement
 FROM measures_table
 WHERE join condition to parent)
FROM patient,
 provider,
 practice
WHERE join conditionsFor additional help, please include your version (4 digits), some sample data, and what you have tried.

How to use java to create an XML document from an SQL database?

Hi,
I'm a complete novice at XML and have only recently started programming in Java.
I'm currently trying to develop a package in Java 1.1.8 which requires a set of very specifically formatted XML documents. These documents would need to be updated regularly by people with no knowledge of Java and I would like to make it as simple as possible.
Since the data will already be in an SQL database, I thought it might be possible to generate the XML documents from the data using a small Java application, but I'm not too sure how to go about this or if this is even possible! Any help or pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
Louise

Do you have the option of upgrading to a newer version of the JDK?
JAXB does what you are wanting very easily. Also there are tools if you don't want to write your own. JAXB is available as early release on Sun's site as is the newest JDK. Otherwise, you have to design a factory and interface that will do this for you (which is what JAXB basically is in a very simplified view).

Creating an xml document from filenames of selected files

Hey guys, I am totally new to automator and applescript so please be kind!
I have an xml/flash image portfolio website which has image galleries. Each gallery has an xml document which specifies a thumbnail and full size photo to be displayed in the gallery. If I want to make a new gallery I have to make a new xml document and enter all the filenames of the images I want to display in the gallery. ( I guess you can see where this is going).
This is fine if I have 10 images in the gallery but if I want to make a gallery with 350 images in then it could get pretty tedious.
What I would love to be able to do is select a group of images and then have a script or automator action that can copy the files names and create a new gallery xml document containing the relevant code with all the files names. Ideally then saving the gallery with a sequential filename.
Tying this into the new contextual services menu in snow leopard would really make the task incredibly easy.
Is this possible? I'm not scared of learning how to do this therefore some pointers in the right direction would be great.
Thanks,
Chris

How can I create a XML document from a DOM?

Hello,
I'm using the parser for C, version 2 in the DOM modus. How can I dump the object model to a (XML) string after changing some field?
Do I need to create my own function or is there a function in the DOM interface??

You need to create your own function. The Java XML parser has such a function
and we'll probably add one in a future release as well.

Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset

I am getting Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset.
It was working fine from small result set object but when the size of resultset was more than 25,000, heap space error
I am already using -Xms32m -Xmx1024m
Is there a way to directly write to xml file from resultset instead of creating the whole document first and then writing it to file? Code examples please?
here is my code:
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
result = stmt.executeQuery();
result.setFetchSize(999);
Document doc = JDBCUtil.toDocument(result, Application.BANK_ID, interfaceType, Application.VERSION);
JDBCUtil.write(doc, fileName);
public static Document toDocument(ResultSet rs, String bankId, String interfaceFileType, String version)
 throws ParserConfigurationException, SQLException {
 DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
 Document doc = builder.newDocument();
 Element results = doc.createElement("sims");
 results.setAttribute("bank", bankId);
 results.setAttribute("record_type", "HEADER");
 results.setAttribute("file_type", interfaceFileType);
 results.setAttribute("version", version);
 doc.appendChild(results);
 ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
 int colCount = rsmd.getColumnCount();
 String columnName="";
 Object value;
 while (rs.next()) {
 Element row = doc.createElement("rec");
 results.appendChild(row);
 for (int i = 1; i <= colCount; i++) {
 columnName = rsmd.getColumnLabel(i);
 value = rs.getObject(i);
 Element node = doc.createElement(columnName);
 if(value != null)
 node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(value.toString()));
 else
 node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(""));
 row.appendChild(node);
 return doc;
public static void write(Document document, String filename) {
 //long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
 // lets write to a file
 OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(document); // Serialize DOM
 format.setIndent(2);
 format.setLineSeparator(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
 format.setLineWidth(80);
 try {
 FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(filename);
 BufferedWriter buf = new BufferedWriter(writer);
 XMLSerializer FileSerial = new XMLSerializer(writer, format);
 FileSerial.asDOMSerializer(); // As a DOM Serializer
 FileSerial.serialize(document);
 writer.close();
 } catch (IOException ioe) {
 ioe.printStackTrace();
 //long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
 //System.err.println("W3C File write time :" + (end - start) + " " + filename);
 }

you can increase your heap size..... try setting this as your environment variable.....
variable: JAVA_OPTS
value: -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

Query performance - A single large document VS multiple small documents

Hi all,
What are the performance trade offs when using a single large document VS multiple small documents ?
I want to store xml snippets with similar structure in a container. Is there any benefit while querying, if I use a single large document to store all these snippets against adding each snippet as a different document. Would it degrade the performance when adding an xml snippet each time by modifying an existing document?
How could we decide whether to use a single large document VS multiple small documents?
Thanks,
Anoop

Hello Anoop,
In case you wanted to get a comparison between the storage types for containers, wholedoc and node, let us know.
What are the performance trade offs when using a
single large document VS multiple small documents ?Depends on what is more important to you, performance when creating the container, and inserting the document(s) or performance when retrieving data.
For querying the best option is to go with smaller documents, as node indexes would help in improving query performance.
For inserting initial data, you can construct your large document composed of smaller xml snippets and insert the document as a whole.
If you further want to modify this document changing its structure implies performance penalties; more indicated is to store the xml snippets as documents.
Overall, I see no point in using a large document that will hold all of your xml snippets, so I strongly recommend going with multiple smaller documents.

Andrei Costache
