CreateCDATASection() method doesn't creates a CDATA Section.

Hi,
While using Oracle XDK, if I try to create a CDATA Section using createCDATAsection() method, it doen't creates a CDATA Section. Instead it creates a normal Text node. If I try the same code with Apache Xerces, it works fine and I have CDATA section.
The problem I am facing because, my node data has some special characters and I don't want parser to validate that. Has anyone else faced the same problem or have a work around?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Atif

The double square bracket closing the CDATA section was never a problem. I had issues with LrXml encoding the opening angle bracket as an < entity:
 local xml = LrXml.createXmlBuilder(false)
 xml:beginBlock("var")
 xml:tag("name", "var1")
 xml:beginBlock("value")
 xml:tag("string", "<![CDATA[value123]]>")
 xml:endBlock()
 xml:endBlock()
 local strXML = xml:serialize()
Produces the following maligned XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<var>
<name>var1</name>
<value>
<string><![CDATA[value123]]></string>
</value>
</var>
I guess one way to go about it is to run serialized XML through string.gsub to un-encode the "<![CDATA[" sequence as follows:
strXML = string.gsub(strXML, "<!%[CDATA%[", "<![CDATA[")
This is a nasty workaround, but this appears to be the only way to get the job done. Now my serialized XML looks as expected:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<var>
<name>var1</name>
<value>
<string><![CDATA[value123]]></string>
</value>
</var>
This only leaves me wondering as to why LrXml doesn't support CDATA sections through its API, they are not that uncommon...

Creating a CDATA section in a Document ... What am I doing wrong?

I am creating XML on the fly in Java using the Oracle XML parser (in my jar xmlparserv2, a file named ".xdkjava_version_9.2.0.6.0_production" exists).
I have the following code:
(m_document is a class variable defined as type "Document")
Element addCDATANode(Node p_nodeParent, String p_nodeName, String p_nodeValue)
Element e = m_document.createElement(p_elementName);
p_nodeParent.appendChild(e);
CDATASection cds = m_document.createCDATASection(p_nodeValue);
e.appendChild(cds);
return e;
This is appending the data to the node, but it is missing the CDATA delimiters. This causes problems when imported back in, as the data is encoded and does not parse back into XML correctly.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Problem while creating xml with cdata section

Hi,
I am facing problem while creating xml with cdata section in it. I am using Oracle 10.1.0.4.0 I am writing a stored procedure which accepts a set of input parameters and creates a xml document from them. The code snippet is as follows:
select xmlelement("DOCUMENTS",
xmlagg
(xmlelement
("DOCUMENT",
xmlforest
(m.document_name_txt as "DOCUMENT_NAME_TXT",
m.document_type_cd as "DOCUMENT_TYPE_CD",
'<![cdata[' || m.document_clob_data || ']]>' as "DOCUMENT_CLOB_DATA"
) from table(cast(msg_clob_data_arr as DOCUMENT_CLOB_TBL))m;
msg_clob_data_arr is an input parameter to procedure and DOCUMENT_CLOB_TBL is a pl/sql table of an object containing 3 attributes: first 2 being varchar2 and the 3rd one as CLOB. The xml document this query is generating is as follows:
<DOCUMENTS>
<DOCUMENT>
<DOCUMENT_NAME_TXT>TestName</DOCUMENT_NAME_TXT>
<DOCUMENT_TYPE_CD>BLOB</DOCUMENT_TYPE_CD>
<DOCUMENT_CLOB_DATA>
<![cdata[123456789012345678901234567890123456789012]]>
</DOCUMENT_CLOB_DATA>
</DOCUMENT>
</DOCUMENTS>
The problem is instead of <![cdata[....]]> xmlforest query is encoding everything to give < for cdata tag. How can I overcome this? Please help.

LV 7 Tree Control--Create Method doesn't work

Just wondering if I broke something already or if this is a minor bug... when I try to create a method for a Tree Control I can only create the first five on the menu (non-control-specific) or the Double Click Method. These are all listed directly without sub-items while all other methods in submenus do not create a method when they are selected. Selecting them makes the menu disappear but nothing happens and there is not a method to place as is usually the case. The method can be created using a workaround--using one of the selectable methods (Double Click for example), then using the finger pointer to select a different method, but not by right clicking on a reference to the tree and trying to create method.
Att
ached is a screenshot--all items on the lowest level menu with an arrow to the right do not work.

Congratulations. Looks like you found a bug... Probibly related to the submenus--don't remember methods having submenus before V7. In any case, you can also get at those methods if you drop down an invoke node from a palette and wire up the reference. Mike...

Central Autoreaction Method doesn't work for NW 7.10 in SolMan 7.01

Hello!
The central autoreaction method doesn't work for the satellite system
NW 7.10. For systems with kernel releases 4.6D, 640, 700 this method
works fine and e-mail alerts are coming.
The configuration steps I've checked:
1. Configured SCOT. The mail_send job executes every 5 minutes.
2. Background dispatching job is released: SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_DP (In
central CEN/000/DDIC and satellite system SAT/000/DDIC)
3. Central dispatching job is released: SAP_CCMS_CENSYS_DISPATCHER
(Only in central system CEN/000/DDIC)
4. The sapccm4x-agent registered as web service within CEN using
Create Remote Monitoring for NW 7.10:
Connection test to SAPCCM4X.<satellite_host>.00 was performed successfully
5. Created a new autoreaction method by copying method
CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 to the own Z_CCMS_Email_Alert_CEN:
Function Module - SALO_EMAIL_IN_CASE_OF_ALERT_V2
Execute Method on Any Server and Only in Central System, triggered by
CCMS agents
SENDER (EMAIL_USER) exists in CEN/000 , RECEPIENT - <distr list
SAP_BASIS in CEN/000>, RECIPIENT-TYPEID - C
6. Got MTE Classes from NW 7.10 satellite system and assigned this method
Z_CCMS_Email_Alert_CEN to an MTE-class CCMS_ORAucPSAPSR3 for NW 7.10
satellite system. The alert is red right now.
7. The mail_send job doesn't send anything, in SCOT there are no
sending orders.
8. Autoreaction status on this alert in CEN in RZ20 - Sent to CEN.
CEN_CHECKED.
9. The alert status in RZ20 in CEN - ACTION_REQUIRED. If I execute it
in manual the alert status changes to ACTIVE, but no email and no
messages in sending orders in SCOT.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thank you!

Hi,
Since you are using RECIPIENT-TYPEID =C i.e. General distribution list, pls ensure to have shared type of list created in SBWP.
Also pls verify your SCOT configutaion , if apropriate address area i.e. *@abc.com
Also one point to note that even if you trigger auto reaction method manually via RZ20 , pls check if alert is listed in SOST.
if yes , that means there is problem in either SCOT configuration or distribution list.
If alert is not appearing in SOST , that means you need to check auto reaction method parameters;
Z_CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 , here check release section if Auto reaction execution method is checked.

Rupali

CDATA section in a tag of an XML file

Hi SDNers:
I have an issue with using the method CREATE_CDATA_SECTION of Interface IF_IXML_DOCUMENT.
I have created an XML file from ABAP using methods in IF_IXML_DOCUMENT etc.
The XML file is perfectly alright. But now there's a need to add CDATA section.
I need the CDATA section as follows in XML file...
<CustomField>
 <![CDATA[
 First Line of Text
 Second line of Text
 Third Line of Text

</CustomField>
but don't know how to program this. Can anybody help/advice me on this?
Looking forward to your optimum response(s).

Problems with CDATA sections

I am loading XML containing a CDATA section into a DOMParser and using getDocument() to obtain an XMLDocument with the loaded XML.
The input XML contains a CDATA section, but the subsequent XMLDocument no longer has a CDATA section, but now holds the contents of the CDATA section in an XMLText node. How do I maintain the CDATA section when loading into the Parser and XMLDOcument?
I can create a CDATA secti0on and append this to the same XMLDocument without problem.

My idea would be to spend some time finding out
whether it really does.yes, I was thinking about that after posting, so I added to the writeXmlFile method the next lines
        XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
        String desc = xpath.evaluate("//descripcioAssignatura", doc);
        System.out.println("descripcioAssignatura=>" + desc);The element descripcioAssignatura is really filled with its value, but in the transform method this value disappears. I tryed to put different values for the node name in the line xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.CDATA_SECTION_ELEMENTS,"descripcioAssignatura");like descripcioAssignatura, /plaDocent/dades/descripcioAssignatura (the real path to the element) or //descripcioAssignatura, but the result is the same

You need to notice the definitions for makecharacterdata:
FUNCTION makeCharacterData(n DOMNode) RETURN DOMCharacterData;
PURPOSE
Casts given DOMNode to a DOMCharacterData
It only do the casting.

How to identify a CDATA section in DOM API?

I'm having a problem reading a CDATA section from using the DOM API. A call to Node.getNodeType() doesn't return CDATA_SECTION_NODE as expected but returns TEXT_NODE. Also, a call to getValue() doesn't return <![CDATA[<foo>]]> but returns
<foo> instead. Does anyone know how to get getNodeType() to return the proper value?
For example suppose I have the following XML:
<?XML version="1.0"?>
<document>
<elm><![CDATA[text with HTML]]></elm>
</document>
A call to getNodeType() for the value Node (the child of the <elm> node) returns TEXT_NODE. I would expect it to return CDATA_SECTION_NODE.
Ken

C'mon Oracle people -- help me out here,
Is this a known bug or what? I just discovered that if you do a cloneNode()
the CDATA section gets messed up, too.

XI File Sender CC, CDATA Sections

Hello all,
i configured a File Sender CC with content conversion but the
integration engine gives me a parser exception because there are characters in the file which are not allowed for a field without CDATA section. Can i configure somewhere that for the content conversion CDATA sections are used ?
Thx !
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Yes as the XML parser does not understand "'" char in the FIELD1 string, it gives the following errore. So to do that you need to put the following in CDATA, as the XML parser ignores anuting between CDATA.
To acheive CDATA you need to implement XSLT mapping.
Check out this link: <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/01/xi-xml-node-into-a-string-with-graphical-mapping Mapping</a>
The code mentioned below is relevant to the example in the blog:
Pls follow the following steps to insert XML string into a single element:
Create a xsl file with the following data:
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" NSpace>
<xsl:template match="/">
<namespace:name1>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<![CDATA[]]></xsl:text><xsl:copy-of select="//namespace:name"/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[]]]]></xsl:text><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[>]]></xsl:text>
</namespace:name1>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In the above code I have removed xmlns:p2="http://frik.bcc.com.pl" which is not needed.
Also you have to put '//' before the target element from where you want to start creating XML string over here it is name. And name1 is the element you want to store the XML string in.
So anything in the element name will be stored in name1
Regarding the namespace: To find out the namespace test your message mapping between the source and the target without adding XSLT mapping. After testing click on 'SCR' tab present on top of the target window. There you will see ns1: or ns2: attached to each element. Replace namespace in the above code with ns1: or ns2:. And replace NSpace in the above XSL Header with the namespace in the SCR of test map.
So the final XSL file will look like that:
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/HR">
<xsl:template match="/">
<ns1:name1>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<![CDATA[]]></xsl:text><xsl:copy-of select="//ns1:name"/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[]]]]></xsl:text><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[>]]></xsl:text>
</ns1:name1>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Dont forget to put '//' before the target element.
This should work. Or pls put the source and target xml struct and we will assist you further.
Regards,
Ashish

Will anyone please Tell me how to create a CDATA Element

Hello Guys
I am hammering my head to create a CDATA Element in Oracle 9i using XMLDOM Package.
The Element structure should look like this
<Formula>
<![CDATA[VALVERB("AC_Fluid_Pressure_Sensor")]]>
</Formula>
The Code I used to create in ORACLE 10G is Given below, But The same code when I used for 9i is Not working
field_elmt := xmldom.createelement(doc,'FORMULA');
field_node := xmldom.appendchild(ssd_node,xmldom.makenode(field_elmt));
-- Create a CDATA ELEMENT
field_text := xmldom.createtextnode(doc,'CDATA ELEMENT');
field_node := xmldom.appendchild(field_node,xmldom.makenode(xmldom.createCDATASection(doc,SSDRECORD.FORMULA)));
field_node := xmldom.appendchild(field_node,xmldom.makenode(field_text));
Please Help me Out.

CDATA sections converted to text nodes by XMLDOM parser

I have done a lot of reading, experimentation and openned a TAR on this. I am suprised nobody else has posted on the issue. The xmlparser.parseClob call appears to parse an XML document properly but converts CDATA sections into text nodes.
For example take the following XML:
<some><pnode><![CDATA[the <xml>]]></pnode></some>
If I immediately write it back out using xmldom.writeToClob the resulting XML will be:
<some>
<pnode>the &#60;xml></pnode>
</some>
For one I wish writeToClob wouldn't add whitespace (but that's another issue), but as you can see the CDATA node no longer exists, being replaced by an encoded text node.
I wrote code to traverse the DOM outputting node types and even writing a similar printer to the writeToClob. The fact is there really is no CDATA node in the DOM after parsing. Instead the code which traverses the DOM identifies a single text node with CDATA text contained in it.
In my opinion this is extremely odd default behavior and I cannot seem to work around it due to the fact that the DOM structure is not created properly by the parse. Please tell me that other people have ran into this behavior and I'm not just nuts? Better yet, please just tell me I'm doing something wrong and you have the answer...that would be kinder to my project schedule.
If you like I have example code. I am using the xmldom API on Oracle 9.2.0.4.

Thanks for the response Mark. I have gotten some feedback from my TAR as well. We are using version 9.2.0.*. I have since learned that this is a bug in the xmldom implementation based on Java. It has been recommended that I use the dbms_* packages as you suggested. I originally attempted to use the dbms_* packages (the C-based implementation) when following the tutorials and other documentation but for some reason we do not seem to have those packages installed. I was directed by my DBA's to use the other package as we both bevelieved it was just the same package in a different location. I am working with my DBA to get the C-based dbms_* packages installed.

Offset Path doesn't create a separate path

Mac CS6
Seems like my Illustrator is bugging out. When I apply offset path to the compound object Illustrator doesn't create a separate path for me, but both the offset and original somehow bundle together:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xiu3xqcictx0ku0/Offset_problem_1.png
I'm trying to create an effect like this tutorial on youtube. But since offset path doesn't create a separate path, I can't duplicate the same effect.
Any clue on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Did you use the Object>Path method or Effects>Path method? Here's the difference

How do i return a CDATA section in a SOAP response?

hi,
i am relatively new to SOAP/web services. but i know what i want ;-). i naively thought that i could simply send a CDATA wrapped string in a SOAP response by simply doing SOAPElement.addTextNode("<![CDATA[..."). of course, WLS 8.1's javax.xml.soap implementation escapes the <pre>"<" & ">"</pre> as <pre>"<" and ">"</pre> in the response.
IF i could use the saaj 1.2 implementation, i would do something along the lines of the following to return a CDATA section in a SOAP response :
<pre>
 org.w3c.dom.CDATASection myCDATASection ...;
 SOAPBodyElement myBodyElement ...;
 myBodyElement.appendChild(myCDATASection);
</pre>
or maybe even something like:
<pre>
 String myCDATAString = "<![CDATA[...]]>";
javax.xml.soap.SOAPBody soapBody = ...;
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder builder = ...;
org.xml.sax.InputSource.InputSource inputSource = ...;
org.w3c.dom.Document document = builder.parse(inputSource);
soapBody.addDocument(document);
</pre>
but that is a BIG IF! of course, as i have learned after a lengthy trawl through this ng, WLS 8.1 uses its own implementation of the javax.xml.soap.* classes. in particular, weblogic's SOAPBody implementation is devoid of an addDocument(org.w3c.dom.Document) method. and SOAPBodyElement does not have an appendChild(org.w3c.dom.Node)
please, can anybody fill me in on how to go about doing what i am trying to do using WLS 8.1's javax.xml.soap classes?
many thanks

if anybody else out there is also trying to do what i have described (return xml text in a soap response), the solution (told to me by my company's BEA rep) is to just add the raw xml text to the SOAPElement.addTextNode() and weblogic will do the right thing (namely, escape whatever needs to be escaped).
i had been lead to believe that you couldn't send entity refs (<pre>< and ></pre>) in a soap response. i was told i needed to wrap my raw xml in a CDATA section. but actually i don't need a CDATA section after all for the response i need to return (xml text). contrary to what i was lead to believe by another developer, entity refs are not a problem in a soap response (according to BEA, anyway).

Newline inserted into CDATA section by parser

I'm parsing an xml file with a CDATA value that contains xml content. After parsing the file, I display the CDATA value within a JTextArea. For some reason, this xml content ends up double-spaced (hex data 0D 0A 0D 0A, instead of just the original 0D 0A at the end of each line). A newlines are being inserted into my CDATA data. I thought the parser wasn't supposed to change this data.
I'm extending the SAX DefaultHandler and don't implement the LexicalHandler. Am I supposed to implement the LexicalHandler interface when using CDATA?

The character data within the CDATA section is being altered. Though I will admit that my original data was incorrect (see below).
Below is an excerpt form my CDATA section:
<Configuration>
<BaseDeviceID>
...The hex character data that I see between these two tags (after the first ">" and before the second "<") at different stages is shown below.
In the original XML file on disk, using a hex editor:
0D 0A 20 20
Input to the characters(...) method of my SAXEventHandler during parsing:
0A 0A 20 20
Copied from the displayed text in the JTextArea to the hex editor after parsing:
0D 0A 0D 0A 20 20 (this is where my original data came from)
It appears that the XML processor (parser?) is changing the carriage return (0D) to a linefeed (0A). This shouldn't happen even if section 2.11 of the spec applies.

CreateCDATASection() method doesn't creates a CDATA Section.
