Creating a Link with XML Files

Hi,
I am trying to import a XML file in a table structure following instructions from the Adobe help file (could only find a CS3 one, I am using CS4, the link to it: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs3ip_xmlrules.pdf). Now the import works fine and my table is displayed correctly. My plan for this is to have XML files created from a database so when they get overwritten it will automatically update the tables in the file. While importing it I chose the "Create Link" option and I can see it in the links panel. All that seems fine. My problem is from this point if I do any changes to this file it gets added into my template along with the original with no formatting. So normally imported it looks like:
code
description
unit
price
10000
Product A
Each
5.00
and if I edit it it then looks like this:
5.00
Each
Product A
10001
PRICE
UNIT
DESCRIPTION
CODE
code
description
unit
price
10000
Product A
Each
5.00
And all I edited was the code value to be 10001 on the link yet it makes all these changes. Now if I edit the original XML file again it will crash Adobe CS4 and it freezes and says encountered error and closes. Does anyone have any advice on this situation? Is there a simple way to get XML tables inserted into a document that will change in the document if I edit the original file. If I have to change the XML that is fine as I can output it from the database pretty much whichever way I want.
Here is the code for the XML file:
<Table xmlns:aid="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0/" aid:table="table" aid:trows="2" aid:tcols="4">
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="130">CODE</Cell>
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="59">DESCRIPTION</Cell>
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="130">UNIT</Cell>
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="130">PRICE</Cell>
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="130">10000</Cell>
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="130">Product A</Cell>
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="130">Each</Cell>
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="130">5.00</Cell>
</Table>
Any help would be appreciated.

I wasn't using "Edit Original" before, but now that I do, I'm still unable to duplicate your result. When I edit and save, the results are just as one would expect. What application are you using to edit the XML? I am using Text Wrangler. What platform are you one? I've been testing this on a Mac, but could try it on Windows of that's what you are using. Also, out of curiosity, what does your XML structure look like? Here's mine:
<Root>
<Article>
    <Story>
      <Table xmlns:aid="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0/" aid:table="table" aid:trows="2" aid:tcols="4">
        <Cell ..... (your cell nodes here)
      </Table>
    </Story>
</Article>

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?
What I am trying to do is find out how to have a 3D model and a parts list linked to it within the PDF file. I would also like to be able to add to the parts list if at all possible once the pdf has been created. A template to create future PDF's with the 3D model and list might also be useful.
I am not entirely sure if this is all possible within a PDF file, but I have viewed a PDF (Adidas Trainer) example which has a Excel file attached to it which links to the 3D model. I have also had a look at partner products such as Lattice, Tetra4D, Anark, which can do animations and all sorts, but frankly it seems a bit overkill for what I am looking to do.
Please, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I wrote about it while ago, let me paste the whole thing.
This example has simple
buttons which upon click go to new sites and in the same time
place record in form
of *.SOL file on user drive. That record is read when you hit
the next button and
based on that the button will be selected as the one last
clicked.
You could use the very same thing just instead of suppressing
button simply gotoAndPlay frame
to continue the part you need.

How to create a link with an anchor outside of the edge animation ?

Hello
I want to know if it's possible to create a link with an anchor that is placed outside of the edge animation , on the same page ?
Tanks

Is it... very likely..., javascript is javascript...Has anyone yet? Maybe i haven't looked.
You only need 3 files... not including "Edge Includes" and "External Art Assets"
NAME_edge.js
NAME_edgeActions.js
NAME_edgePreload.js
The advantage of Edge being that u have the "power" to do whatever you like, but as with new things it takes awhile to figure it all out.

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
Lee

.tmp files genrated along with XML files

Hi all,
Here my Interfaces are type of RFC- XI - FTP.
these are running successfully past long time and creating XML files in the target directory of FTP aplication system. Along with XML files this time abnormally .tmp files were generated in the Target directory of FTP application system. This was occured only one time few days back.
The generated XML files in target FTP system as usually read by Application system and processed in the sytem.
And tmp files generated are as XI_ftp_XI_ftp_0c200300-704c.tmp
could you all please let me know what could be the reason for happening this like generation of .tmp files abnoramally in Target FTP application system.
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Siva

Hi, thanks for reply.
The Write mode is "Use temporary file"
But we have not got these .tmp files earlier and we have not mentioned any temporary file name sceme too.
Could any body please explain will .tmp files are generated randomly?
If i keep 'Directly' mode, will it keeps only the XML files in target directory?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Siva

Hi, does anyone know how if its possible to create a link
inside XML description. The script like this:
<a href="
http://yoursite.com"target="_blank"> did not
work.
Thanks,

Thanks, I tried the code which made the whole existing script
fall apart. I got the file from FlashDen and to do the change will
require an advanced programming in which I am absolute 0. Here is

Thanks again for your effort.

Create the missing server.xml files yourself

Paula and I created the missing server.xml files ourselves. The script is at the bottom of the post.
We badly needed the missing server.xml files to work on the customizations and Oracle was unable to solve this problem.
"I checked on our Automated Release Updates System found that we dont have server.xml that includes PosDelivSchedVO. This confirms that there is no patch available at present to provide you with this file.
As this is not related to coding issue,Support will not be able to log a bug with Development. You may log an Enhancement Request via Metalink, so that Development would review your requirement and if feasible would include this file at the time of future releases"
#!/bin/sh
# This script is used to generate the missing server.xml files for $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/pos
# Usage: server.sh
# Note: This script has many hardcoded codes and it may generate the wrong server.xml.
# The manual fixes to the generated server.xml may be need.
# Check the codes before you use it.
# It's possible to write a generic version of this script to deal with more issues, like
# 1. dealing with the Oracle apps patches applied
# 2. only generates the missing server.xml files automatically
# 3. can specify the module, like pos or po ..., to generate server.xml.
# 4. including only the OA Framework objects used.

Creating a link to a file on a Windows server?

I am trying to create a link to a file located on a Windows server that I can email to users and they can click on the link and it will open the actual file.
Here is what I have done so far:
smb://server/sharedfolder/document.doc
The user can click on the link but it just opnes up the "sharedfolder" and then you have to find the file you want and then open it and that works.
I need the link to be able to just open the actual file.
Is there a way to do this??
Thanks

Since it's a file download, there's no reason to add the target="_blank", I'm guessing your file is 404 for some reason which would give you a blank window per the target.
Make sure the case structure of the file and link are identical. Servers are case sensitive, a server sees CheckIPApp.zip and checkIPApp.zip as totally different files. Your local OS sees them as the same thing so during local testing it will work, when uploaded, it won't.
Make sure you've loaded the file onto the server at the exact location specified by the link. It should be in a folder called "Zip Files" that resides on the same directory level as the page that the link is on.
You may also want to normalize your file names. They should be all lower case alpha-numerics without any spaces (use hyphens or underscores instead) and without special characters ($%&*). You can use DW's Files window to change names and DW will fix the links automatically.

Link multiple XML files stored in oracle database

Link multiple XML files
Can any one give some code example regarding my issue:
If I have for example file1.xml stored in one relational table and another file2.xml stored in another table ….etc
And I want to put link and reference which will make me able to link these files and make query or insert…etc
May be I need to use Xlink, Xpoiner or Xinclude . But if this is the solution to this problem please can you give a simple example that will help to understand the solution especially that I want to develop my project in oracle and I will register xml schema to insert the xml files in the database
Thanks lots and I am waiting for your solution

no answer for my question
is this thread is a write place or I have to move my query to another part of the forum

Creating jsf faces-config.xml file

Hello.
I'm a newbee on Sun Java Studio Enterprice and have just converted from Borland Jbuilder.
In borland, if I create a new "webmodule" and include the jfs library, Borland automaticaly creates the faces-config.xml file for me. The IDE then helps me keep this file up to date.
After creating a new project in Sun Java Studio Enterprice I have gone into propereties and included the jsf-1_1_01.zip file (I googled jsf library and found this file. If I include this file I get access to the <h: -taglib etc so it seems to be working). But the IDE doesn't create the faces-config.xml file.
Do I need to create this manually or what do I do wrong?

As an alternative to Creator (which mostly implies WYSIWYG editing of JSP pages) you can consider NetBeans 5.0 or NetBeans 5.5 Beta. They also support JSF.
