Create value object from xml

So I've got a value object with 100 fields.
I have a ASP.net web service that returns the value objects
as XML (I really don't want to use WebOrb...).
I don't want to write a lot of code like this:
vo.Field1 = voXML.Field1;
vo.Field2 = voXML.Field2;
vo.Field3 = voXML.Field3;
Is there an easier/faster way to do this? Can't I do some
sort of for/each loop. The element names are identical to the field
names.
Thanks.

Dynamically create Value Objects from XML file

Hi
I want to create a value object from Xml file dynamically,like in the xml file i have the name of the variable and the datatype of the variable.is it possible do that,if so how.

Read about apache's Digester tool. This is part of the Jakartha project. This tool helps in creating java objects from the XML files. I am not sure, if that is what u r looking for.

How to create value objects from xml

I am receiving xml back from my web service ( e4x ). I am
trying to figure out how to create a value object without having to
manually fetch each value in the value objects constructor. I am
using introspecton in my Java web service to do this. Is there such
a thing in Action Script?
Anyone done this before that can share some code???? Any help
would be very much appreciated.

That's twice now I've heard that. lol.
I am using Cairngorm and I suppose out of ignorance perhaps,
I am using VO's. So my web service would return an Object Proxy and
I have some code that could create objects dynamically from the
results. The objects had to be simple of course and now they are
becoming more complex thus the need to change to e4x instead of
objects.
So now I am trying to convert the xml result into the desired
VO to be used throughout the rest of the application. I'm not sure
how to use Cairngorm without the VO's they are tied to everything.
Are you familiar with the architecture? Your thoughts?

Create java objects from xml

I want to create a tree structure for java object. These java objects are populated after the parsing the xml. But what could be the logic for adding child to parent when there are
many sub nodes? I wanted to use one recursive function which iterate through all the elements of the xml file. But I have not got the idea how to add one child object to parent object.
following are my classes. Any help on this highly appreciated.
public class TreeObject {

Hi
I recommend you use the API JAXB. Is much simpler.

Create file object from xml file in different package

I have my java class which is in a package...edu.xx.proj
It contains the following
File f = new File("formats.xml");
My xml file is in the package edu.xx.proj.xml
How do I get the file object for my xml file?
Ultimately I want that once the jar is shipped .. The path of xml file shld be independent of my OS path... it can only lookup the package path..
I will really appreciate it if someone can throw some input as to how to resolve this issue..
Thank you

Can you create an object from a string

I have been working on creating a dynamic form, creating the
form items from an xml file. I am getting very close to conquering
this task. I will share it when it's complete.
However, I am stuck at the moment trying to create an object
from a string. For example, if the xml item is an HBox I want to
create an HBox. Like this: parentObject = new arrayOfFormItems[
index ]..type ()
This isn't working. First, is this possible using some syntax
I am unaware of in Flex? I don't want to use a large if or case
statement if possible.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you very much. Indeed that did solve the one problem. I
missed the casting as a Display Object. That is awesome!
I do still however, have to instantiate one of every item I
want to dynamically create or I get the following error when I try
to create a dynamic object that I have not instantiated before.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable HBox is not defined.
at global/flash.utils::getDefinitionByName()
at MyForm/buildForm()
at DynamicForm/::onComplete()
at
flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
I read that you have no choice but to instantiate one of each
type to force the linker to link the code for that class into the
.swf. Unless you know another way to force it.
This is what I have in my Application mxml to get it to work:
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Text visible="false"/>
<mx:TextArea visible="false"/>
<mx:TextInput visible="false"/>
<mx:DateField visible="false"/>
</mx:HBox>
And those are the types I'm using to test with. . . I will
have to add all the others I want to use as well . . .

How to create and object from an arrayList

Hi I want to create an object from an arrayList.
here is my code...
BillingQueryParam billingQueryParam = new BillingQueryParam();
/*This BillingQueryParam and billingItemManagerActionForm has getter and setter method for following attributes.
private int billingItemId;
private String[] paramName;
private String[] defaultParamValue;
List billingQueryParamList = new ArrayList();

     billingQueryParam.setParamName(billingItemManagerActionForm.getParamName());
for(int i = 0; i < billingItemManagerActionForm.getDefaultParamValue().length; i++) {
billingQueryParam.setDefaultParamValue(billingItemManagerActionForm.getDefaultParamValue());
     billingQueryParam.setBillingItemId(billingItem.getBillingItemId());
     billingQueryParamList.add(billingQueryParam);
System.out.println("****** ArrayList Size-->"+billingQueryParamList.size());
for (Iterator iter = billingQueryParamList.iterator();iter.hasNext();) {
     billingQueryParam = (BillingQueryParam)iter.next();
      System.out.println("****** BillingItemId-->"+billingQueryParam.getBillingItemId());
      System.out.println("****** Param Name-->"+billingQueryParam.getParamName()); //printing an array of paramName
      System.out.println("****** Default param value-->"+billingQueryParam.getDefaultParamValue());
}Here after iterating this list I want to create an object of billingQueryParam which contains a single value of itemId, paramName,paramTypeId and defaultParamName and I want to persist this object in database.
Please help...!!!
Thanks

How do I create an object from a filename?

I'm traversing directories and storing a list of files in a File array. Then I traverse the array looking at the extension of the file. If it is .java then I would like to instantiate it as a class so that I may pass the new object to another function which will examine its methods. I've tried Class.forName(file.getCanonicalPath()) and it throws a ClassNotFound exception. How can I create an object from a valid filename, please?

Rick_Avlonitis wrote:
If it is .java then I would like to </snip>.java files contain source code, they can't be "instantiated". Class.forName() takes a classname as parameter, i.e. "mypackage.MyClass". A class name is not a file name, and it doesn't have an extension. As stated in the other reply, you'll need to have the class on your class path.

How to create Inbound Idoc from XML file-Need help urgently

Hi,
can any one tell how to create inbound Idoc from XML file.
we have xml file in application server Ex. /usr/INT/SMS/PAYTEXT.xml' we want to generate inbound idoc from this file.we are successfully able to generate outbound XML file from outbound Idoc by using the XML port. But not able to generate idoc from XML file by using we19 or we16.
Please let me know the process to trigger inbound Idoc with out using XI and any other components.
Thanks in advance
Dora Reddy

Hi .. Did either of you get a result on this?
My question is the same really .. I am testing with WE19 and it seems SAP cannot accept an XML inbound file as standard.
I see lots of mention of using a Function Module.
Am I correct in saying therefore that ABAP development is required to create a program to run the FM and process the idoc?
Or is there something tht can be done with Standard SAP?
Thanks

Create Business Partner from XMl String not a file

Hi,
Is it possible to create a BP from an XML string.
I know about GetBusinessPartnerFromXml(string FileName, int index)
but I dont want to save the string in a file before creating a BP from it
Hope there's a method to do that

Marc,
This looks like it is a duplicate of this post, so I am closing this thread as it looks like you answered your own question!

How to automatically create fillable PDFs from XML

We are looking for a way to create fillable PDFs that users can enter data into and save (so the PDF needs Reader Rights applied) and we want to be able to automatically create these PDFs from XML files. We are able to do what we want in a manual fashion using Acrobat Pro v8 but we need a way to automate this due to the volume of XML files that we will need to convert.
Is there any way that this can be scripted from a command line interface with Acrobat.. like:
Acrobat.exe –input FileName.xml –output FileName.pdf –applyReaderRights true
If there is no command line options for this is there any way that this could be coded using .NET or any other programming language?

You cannot automate applying usage rights with Acrobat. For that you'd need to use Adobe's LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
How exactly are you currently converting XML into fillable forms? Are you using an XDP to somehow convert to an XFA-based PDF?

Hi,
As far as i know, JMS Object Messages is not supported by XI JMS adapter.
you need to have the JMS provider to transform the message to bytes messages.

Create Class objects from an Array of File Objects

Hi There,
I'm having extreme difficulty in trying to convert an array of file objects to Class objects. My problem is as follows: I'm using Jfilechooser to select a directory and get an array of files of which are all .class files. I want to create Class objects from these .class files. Therefore, i can extract all the constructor, method and field information. I eventually want this class information to display in a JTree. Very similar to the explorer used in Netbeans. I've already created some code below, but it seems to be throwing a NoSuchMethodError exception. Can anyone please help??
Thanks in advance,

It's throwing the exeption on the line:

I'm sure its something to do with the extended class i've created. but i cant seem to figure it out..
Thanks if you can figure it out

Possible to create an object from a String?

Hi,
is is somehow at all possible to create an object from a String ?
If we have etc.
String txt = "Carrot()";
Is it then possible to somehow cast that String and interpret it as a class type that it should make an object of ?
Like
new txt; - would then give me the same as new Carrot(); ?
Hope you understand what i mean.
Martin From... :-)

Class.forName("some.package.Carrot");
