CRES and BCE XML Configuration

I have few questions regarding the BCE configuration for CRES (i.e. BCE XML Config file) which I hope someone can help me with:
1) In BCE XML Configuration, under <external> element, there are <secure> and <unsecure> subelements which identify the Cisco RES service URL with HTTPS or HTTP. Under what considitions is HTTP (unsecure) used to access the key server? If I definitely do not wish to allow that, should I remove the <unsecure> element (or set to an invalid URL)?
2) Under <address> element, there is an email address for forwarding teh messages for mobile users. If my receipients are using BCE native app, they should be able to access the CRES service, obtain a key, and decrypt the incoming messages without any need for forwarding the encrypted mesasges to Cisco. Is this correct? If so, could I null the email address to avoid confusing the mobile users?
3) Under the <alborithms> element, there are number of options for defining sifferent encryption/hashing algs. I'm assuming that these are only relevent to the option of BCE performing the encription. But if I use "flag" option, the encryption is done by IronPort and no need for these algorithms on BCE side (and therefore no coordincation is needed between setting of these algs and IronPort encryption profile), Is this a fair assumption?
Regards.

Hi John,
1) You can comment out the line:
http://res.cisco.com
by replacing it with:
and the secure URL will only be used
2) I believe you could comment this line out as well in the configuration you describe
3) You are correct, if using the Flag encryption option these settings are not used. This is only used when using the desktop encryption feature.

Log4j: XML configuration file problem

Hello,
I set up some logging in my existing application with log4j and an xml configuration file. Now I made some changes to my package structure, and some problems occured. So I thougt of setting the logging level of one of my loggers (named myapp.iointerface.DBAccess in the config file). So the only change I did was adding a <param name="Level" value="TRACE"/> to my logger. Now, log4j complains when it reads the configruation file:
log4j:WARN Continuable parsing error 36 and column 11
log4j:WARN The content of element type "logger" must match "(level?,appender-ref*)".My config file:

Thx,

If you look at the error, the parser expects level and not Level
So :
<param name="Level" value="TRACE"/>should be :
<param name="level" value="TRACE"/>Same goes for :
<param name="Level" value="DEBUG"/>That will solve the problem (even though it is not a critical error)!

Single XML configuration file for all the SSIS packages(including parent and child packages)

Hi
I have some 16 ssis packages. source Db and destination Db for these packages are common. I am calling these child packages in a master package.
I want to use only one XML config file for this master.
How do i use same for all child packages?
and can i do it with parent package variable?

I created a master package with a variable master, and in value i have entered the configuration file path.
Hi vjp dinu,
You should create variables in the parent package to pass values to variables in each child package rather than pass the file path of the XML Configurations file of the parent package.
As Visakh mentioned, you can achieve your goal by creating corresponding variables in the parent package for each child package, and enable Package Configurations for the parent package so that you can control the values through the XML Configurations file
for the variables of the parent package.
Supposing there is a variable FilePath in child package 1, a variable ServerName in child package 2, then, we need to create two variables pFilePath, pServerName in the parent package. After configuring the Parent package variable in each child package (e.g.
mapping pFilePath to FilePath, pServerName to ServerName), you can enable XML Configurations for the parent package, and expose the value property for both pFilePath and pServerName variables. In this way, you can modify the XML Configurations file of the
parent package and the specified values will passed to the child packages.

Java and XML Configuration Files

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the best way to read information stored in an XML configuration file into my Java program? I have a factory class which I want to instantiate classes from at runtime and I want to be able to read in the class names from a XML configuration file to make it extensible..
Many thanks....

Depends on what the OP means by XML configuration files.
Spring reads Spring application context files. Those can help to configure objects, no doubt.
If the OP meant reading in XML serializations of Java objects and turning them back into Java objects, then XStream is the right thing to do.

How to generate an XML Configuration File for EBS Source Type

Hi,
We have installed SES, I want to integrate it to enable for searching repository contracts.
In the sources I have selected oracle.apps.okc.repository.textsearch.server.RepHeaderSearchExpVO.
For this source I need to specify the Configuration URL.
Here I need to provide the path for configuration XML file. But before that I need to generate the XML Configuration file.
Is there any steps on how we can create this XML file.
like I would want to know how we can create the XML file and on which folder on the server should I be putting it
Thanks

Hi there,
We are running into same issue and need the exact same information. Can someone help with this question on priority?

Need to load multiple skins with only a single .swf and config.xml

Hello
These are part of some instructions that were of a AS3 Mp3 Store I purcased
Well guys the new AS3 flash cart system can have skins hot swapped in and out with out having to recompile the actionscript code.
You can even have multiple skins on the same cart and use different ones in different places of your website.
This is all because the flash cart system itself runs seperate from the graphical user interface that the customer visits.
When you purchase a new cart skin, or if you edit your own custom skin, you can place the swf file for it in the "skins" directory of your flash cart installation directory. Then in the config file where you "embed" the cart on your website you include the name of the skin you'd like to use (the skin MUST be available in your skins directory).
The other plus to using the skin system is you can keep the cart application seperate from your site. No longer do you have to have all that ugly php code and cramped swf files floating along side your website html files. No instead you create an install directory then simply embed the cart from where ever it is. The only litigation is that the cart must exist on the same server as the website you are showing it publicly on.
So right now I have a website with the store set up and working, allowing the buyer to listen to the tracks, add to cart and checkout after which they are given an instant download link to the purcased files.
What I want to do now though is break up the songs into differents carts/skins within a dropdown list in my website as quoted in the instructions above, according to genre.
So I have published 4 different skins as
MusicSkin 1.fla
MusicSkin 2.fla
MusicSkin 3.fla
MusicSkin 4.fla
and have placed these on my server
The cart works by Index.html > loads the Main.swf >loads MusicSkin.fla which is called by via config.xml
(<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<config><skin src="MusicSkin"/><db src="/" sandbox="false" type="sql"/></config>
I am having trouble configuring how to call on 4 different Skins into different pages on my site if I only have ONE index.html, Main.swc and config.xml files which according to the instructions is possible!
Hope this makes sense, I get how it works on one skin but not how it works/or to make it work with multple ones on a website.

Is this possible...anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really hoping to getting this working soon.
I am wondering if i have to copy the instances of the different skins into the config file above and each swf and html file loads the corresponding on in the list, or does each instance require it's own config file, which would then be a problem I think, because I could not have 4 config.xml files in the same directory which is what the Action Script is calling on.

Problem in Creating .wsdl file and mapping.xml with ant

hi
i am created my .wsdl file and mapping.xml file with wscompile tool but when i run this by ant tool it show a problem.
the command runs on command prompt but when run throught ant file it shows a following error :-
Execute failed: java.io.IOException: CreateProces: wscompile -define -mapping build\classes\META-INF\mapping.xml -d . -nd build\.................and so on
so if anybody have any idea then plz help me asap
thanx

The following Ant snippet is the way I've defined my wscompile task. I'm creating a web application and it looks like yours might be an EJB endpoint, but you can adjust where necessary:
<taskdef name="wscompile" classname="com.sun.xml.rpc.tools.ant.Wscompile">
     <classpath refid="compile.classpath" />
</taskdef>
<target name="init">
     <echo message="-------- ${appname} --------" />
</target>

     <target name="generate-server-from-WSDL" depends="init">
          <wscompile fork="yes"
                       keep="true"
                       base="${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes"
                       import="true"
                       features="wsi"
                       xPrintStackTrace="true"
                       verbose="true"
                       mapping="${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/jaxrpc-mapping.xml"
                       sourcebase="${basedir}/src"
                       config="${config.server.doclit.file}">
               <classpath>
                    <path refid="compile.classpath" />
               </classpath>
          </wscompile>
     </target>
     <target name="compile-server-from-WSDL" depends="generate-server-from-WSDL">
          <javac srcdir="${basedir}/src" destdir="${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes" debug="${compile.debug}">
               <classpath refid="compile.classpath" />
          </javac>
     </target>Just make sure that the named destination directories exist before you run the script.
If you'd like more details on the wscompile Ant task, I found the following pages invaluable:

Problem with XML configuration

Hello gurus!
I have a problem because I'm trying to get a value from the WF container to expose it through SWFVISU as a dynamic parameter. The way I tried to do this was to manipulate the UWL XML to create a custom attribute and declaring the value comes from the container, but since I modified this, anything in SWFVISU is not responding. Even if I delete the pcd of some task and then call this task, everything works normally and no changes are noticed. Somebody told me that I have to return to my original XML configuration and I deleted my new XML configuration, cleared cache and the problem persists. Any ideas on what am I missing about this?
Regards IA

Hi,
>but since I modified this, anything in SWFVISU is not responding.
What do you mean by this? Are you expecting that the changes you do in your XML would somehow appear in SWFVISU? (This will not happen.)
Please upload the custom XML again to the portal (with priority medium or high). Refresh the cache, and log out from the portal. Log in again, and create new test case (=start new workflow). These are all just steps to ensure that the changes you have done to the XML will apply.
What is the result? Is the custom attribute working? If it is not, I would check any examples that you can find in SAP Help or SDN about dynamic attributes, and compare them to your own XML. If you still cannot find the problem, post your XML task configuration here (and explain what you are trying to achieve), and probably someone will help you.

Karri

How to connect to external web service and convert XML to a table

Hi experts,
I need to connect to external/non-SAP web service and convert XML in that site to a SAP table?
Is there a function call(SE37) to do this? Is it a must for me to install AS JAVA or PI and configure enterprise service? Please provide a link for me to retrieve relevant infomation, thx.

No, you don't need PI or the Java stack for this. You can create an ABAP proxy using the WSDL file for the web service and call the web service using the proxy class in an ABAP program. You can transform the XML response to internal tables/structures/variables using a transformation template that you create.

XML Configuration or Annotations in Hibernate

I have been kicking Hibernate around for a couple of days and would like y'alls 2 cents. A bean can have its metadata set up in a *.hbm.xml configuration file or the same can be done via annotations, what has worked best and what have been the disadvantages of each?
I have used xml configuration in the past and having an xml file for each bean class got to be an annoyance once there were more then just a few beans to manage. With annotations the xml file would not be needed and the information would be in the bean class. I like this idea but since I have never used annotations extensively what issues have been encountered by y'all.

There are issues are around transparency. The idea of a POJO was originally that the code wasn't coupled to a framework. Annotations effectively do couple you to the framework again, but you have to ask "is this actually a bad thing?". Unless you're in the habit of chopping and changing persistence frameworks, then it's not so bad. I had an issue recently whereby I was generating classes from XML schemas as part of the build process, and couldn't easily put Hibernate annotations onto the classes without a manual step. I did actually find a JAXB Maven plugin that did it, but I went with XML config for persistence anyway as it gave me some extra control that the generated code didn't, namely some properties were transient as regards persistence, but still necessary on the beans
And there's the other reason you might not want to use annotations: when your DB schema changes, you have to recompile and re-deploy the code. How much of an issue that is, is entirely dependent upon your situation. It usually happens anyway

Weblogic 10 jaas and login.jsp and web.xml/weblogic.xml security constaints

Hello,
I struggled through and got the examples.security.jaas.SampleCallbackHandler.java and examples.common.utils.ExampleUtils.java/ExampleConstants.java into eclipse where they compile. A bean I made can call SambleCallbackHandler like such:
mybean.logmein(username,password,url). I can then do a mybean.getStatus() or even a mybean.returnCode(). It does seem to correctly identlify that it is authenticating me (I see in stdout logs that it shows success or failures. The problem I have is I do not know how to apply this weblogic and web.xml/weblogic.xml so that if authentication works it redirects me to the page requiring the authentication. In web.xml I have the following set up:
<security-role>
     <role-name>Admins</role-name>
</security-role>
<login-config>
     <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
     <realm-name>default</realm-name>
     <form-login-config>
          <form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
          <form-error-page>/badlogin.html</form-error-page>
     </form-login-config>
</login-config>
<security-constraint>

          <web-resource-name>empower</web-resource-name>
          <description>These pages are only accessible by authorized users.</description>
          <url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern>
          <http-method>GET</http-method>
          <http-method>POST</http-method>

     <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
     </user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
My weblogic.xml has:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wls:weblogic-web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:wls="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90 http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/weblogic-web-app.xsd">

<wls:principal-name>Administrators</wls:principal-name>
<wls:principal-name>dashap</wls:principal-name>
</wls:security-role-assignment>
</wls:weblogic-web-app>
With this set up, if I try to go to a page in /admin folder in my application, it correctly pops up the login page. The jaas in the bean is doing a loginContext.login(), which I thought does authentication too, but it never goes back to the /admin page I was going to that needed the authentication. With jaas, can I not use the web.xml FORM security option? Do I Need to use j_security in the login.jsp's form's action= option and j_username and j_password for the input type names? How do I use j_username/j_password things if I am using jaas? I could just ignore using the web.xml security stuff and put something in the pages that need authentication, but it would be easier if I could use jaas with the security featurs without doing all that. Note that my code above is using a realm called default just because that was what was in the example I got from the web. Does that need to be something else?

Hi John,
I would like magic of course. However, in this case I want something special: my authentication provider uses special means and contents of headers, cookies and service from external identity management systems to determine the user's identity.
I do not want the application to present the login dialog! I want to derive the identity and the fact that the user is logged in from whatever the authentication provider returns in terms of Subject.
Ideally, the flow is something like:
- user accesses an unprotected resource - resource is shown, no interaction with authentication provider
- user presses a link or button that takes him/her to a protected resource
- the authentication provider is contacted to work with the identity asserter to establish the identity of the current user and create a subject object for this user
- the application can access the subject and principals
- ADF Security recognizes the identity and the roles (based on the principals) and coordinates access based on this.
the authentication method is client certificate. presumably this prompts WebLogic/OPS to use an identity asserter to work with custom headers and cookies ("... when you configure a web application to use CLIENT-CERT authentication. In this case, WebLogic can perform identity assertion based on values from request headers and cookies. If the header name or cookie name matches the active token type for the provider, the value is passed to the provider."). No login form should be presented to the user, as all information required to perform the authentication is already available.
I am trying to understand what I must do to have the ADF application adopt the subject set by the authentication provider - if anything?!
If you more ideas to share - I would love to hear them.
best regards,
Lucas

Saving and reteriving xml

Hi,
Can someone help with this,Where should I locate XML configuration file in the WD project structure.
second how can I refer to this file via WD runtime?
Thanks
Best Regards
Yasir NOman

Hi Yasir,
for finding the metadata xml file go to your project folder through file explorer. Go to src\packages\<your package name> inside it you will find various xml files with different extensions like .wdwindow, .wdnavigation, .wdmessagepool,.wdview etc. All these are config xml files for different entities. You can open and see the content of these files by any text editor.
How can you refer these files from your code is not very clear to me neither is why would you require that.

Annotated configuration vs XML configuration

I have to decide whether to move ahead and use Annotations for an application for a major enhancement task.
XML configurations can be replaced with annotations for the following items:
1. Spring related (EJB configurations, bean configurations (layers of dependent java classes getting injected))
2. Hibernate related (getting rid of HBM XMLs)
But, developers are not that keen to move ahead with the annotation thing, since during development they will have to re-compile every time there is a minor configuration change.
Now, what I can foresee is that when the application is in production, there will be few (maybe none) configuration changes. So the XML files stay unchanged anyways and beats the no-need-to-re-compile logic!
And yes, Client wants to shift to the latest and greatest of Spring and Hibernate. So just giving them new third party jars packaged with the application without introducing the usage of the new features, seem to be irrelevant!
So how do I balance both ends and decide, keeping the developers at ease during development phase? Will it be a good idea to migrate from XMLs to Annotations as a separate developmental activity once the business enhancements are taken care of?
Sorry if I was not able to express myself clearly. Please do revert in that case as well.

First when I work on my computer nothing gets changed, period, until I decide to change. Thus I don't need to 'rebuild' anything because of some other change until I decide it is appropriate.
Second I commonly rebuild everything from scratch for every single build. I simply do not trust the dependency checking system. And it is isn't like I am running on a 286 with 640k of memory. Builds often run so fast that I sometimes need to rebuild several times because I looked away momentarily and when I looked back the build is finished and I am not sure I started it.
Third, what sort of "minor" change will require a rebuild every time such that it isn't accompanied by code changes as well? It is a 'minor' change to add a new column to the database but if the developer is updating to the code that uses that then they should be updating the database as well, and I can't imagine that taking less time than a complete rebuild.
Fourth sounds like a bunch of cowboy programmers that like to stick their fingers in everything. Certainly where I have worked someone (me) would be solely responsible for the database layer. I wouldn't be making a "minor" change that didn't have code and database impacts.
And yes, Client wants to shift to the latest and greatest of Spring and Hibernate. So just giving them new third party jars packaged with the application without introducing the usage of the new features, seem to be irrelevant!
That isn't a reason. With no other requirement than "let it be new" that isn't point in favor. If the client is going to be actively messing with the code of the system then someone better looking into understanding exactly what it is that the client expects to be delivered.

Loading XML Configuration File into Java

I have a stored procedure wrapper to a Java method (within a jar file) that has been loaded into the database. I need to load an XML configuration file in this method and parse it but get the following error.
<Line 2, Column 192>: XML-24538: (Error) Can not find definition for element 'LODConfigs'
When I run the method standalone through netbeans it parses fine and is able to load the file. I've confirmed that it is able to read the file but I am lost as to what could be the problem. Any suggestions would be welcome.
The header of the file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<LODConfigs xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.oracle.com/spatial/network/lodLODConfigs.xsd"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/spatial/network">
<LODConfig globalNetworkName="$DEFAULT$" networkName="$DEFAULT$">
<networkIO>
</networkIO>
</LODConfig>
</LODConfigs>

Just a guess really, (and this is an old question now - so you may have moved on).. is your XML parser attempting to use the schema location to pull the XML schema from the internet?
If so, that might run fine in netbeans, but hit java permission limits in Oracle. Have you tried running it in netbeans with the network cable unplugged.
If that fails with the same error as the Oracle JVM, that might give a clue as to the problem and you can troubleshoot the permissions from there.
