[CS5-5.5][JS] Replace xml element content with user selection

Hi,
I'm trying to write a script that replaces xml element content with a user selection.
I have document containing a textframe with a "root" tag attached. In this frame I have 2 paragraphs, each tagged with a different tag.
I would like to replace the content of one of the paragraphs with the content of a text selection.
This piece of code doesn't seem to work:
myXMLElement.xmlContent = app.selection[0];
The problem is that almost all properties of the xmlelement (paragraphs, words, etc) are read-only.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanx

It depends on whether you want to maintain formatting. You can use
myXMLElement.contents = app.selection[0].contents;
in the (unlikely?) event that you don't mind blowing away the formatting. Otherwise you'll want to use something like:
myXMLElement.xmlContent.remove();
app.selection[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, myXMLElement.xmlContent);

How to separate XML element content

Hi All,
How can i separate XML element content in to two strings, where each string will be copied into new variables.
For ex:
The input I get is
<XmLElement>C:/documents/sharedFiles/apple.pdf</XMLElement>
now I want to break the content into two parts like
<aaaa>C:/documents/sharedFiles/</aaaaa>
<bbbbb>apple.pdf</bbbbbb> ( I want to separate file name from the string)
and now I want to copy this into two other variables. How can I achieve this in BPEL. Appreciate your help.
Thanks,

How replace XML Elements with java

I have been usint SAX 2.0 and DOM Level 2 api's to represent XML documents, which i parse with apache's Xerces parser... I am trying to delete certain elements and replace them with others, but none of the api's allow this the closes i have come is replacing attributes of elements....

-jverd
You might also want to look into jdom or dom4j.Thanks jdom worked for replaceing the elements and attributes...but when i tried to store the changes in a new file, the text nodes were processed. for e.g. if i had &#8217 the char ( ' ) appeared in the new file. how do i keep the unicode...

Compare xml elements content

Hi,
I have one big xml file which looks like this:
<Parameters>
<previous>
<business>
<id>1234</id>
<name>Business Customer</name>
</business>
<location>
</location>
</previous>
<current>
<business>
<id>12345</id>
<name>Business Customer Changed</name>
</business>
<location>
</location>
</current>
</Parameters>
Thie main part of the file is created using xstream and object:(there is some other data attached as well)
public class MyObject{
public AnotherObject previous;
public AnotherObject current;
String xmlParams = xstream.toXML(myObject);
public class AnotherObject{
public Business business;
public Location location;
The problem I have is how to compare content of certain elements under <current> and <previous>(the number, position and name of the elements are the same since they
are both created from the same object type)
and then attach only elements that are modified to the existing xml file(this file is afterwards processed with xslt and result is sent as email).
So, the resulting xml file should look something like this:
I have one big xml file which looks like this:
<Parameters>
<previous>
<business>
<id>1234</id>
<name>Business Customer</name>
</business>
<location>
<name>Location 1234</name>
</location>
</previous>
<current>
<business>
<id>12345</id>
<name>Business Customer</name>
</business>
<location>
<name>Location 12345</name>
</location>
</current>
<modified>
<current>12345</current>
<previous>1234</previoius>
<displayName>Business Id</displayName>
</modified>
<modified>
<current>Location 12345</current>
<previous>Location 1234</previous>
<displayName>Location Name</displayName>
</modified>
</Parameters>
After I have this resulting xml file I use it with xslt to create email that has current data displayed:
Business ID: <xsl:value-of select="/Parameters//current//business/id"/>
Business Name:<xsl:value-of select="/Parameters//current//business/name"/>
Location Name:<xsl:value-of select="/Parameters//current//location/name"/>
Plus Modification summary(which I will get after I create the right xml file with modifications part):
<xsl:for-each select="(/Parameters//modified)">
<xsl:value-of select="displayName"/><xsl:value-of select="previous"/> <xsl:value-of select="displayName"/><xsl:value-of select="current"/>
</xsl:for-each>
This is how resulting email looks like:
Current Data:
Business ID: 12345
Business Name:Business Customer
Location Name: Location 12345
Modifications Summary:
(old value) (new value)
Business Id:1234 Business Id: 12345
Location Name: Location 1234 Location Name: 12345
All of this processing(creating resulting xml file) needs to be done in some helper class, before the file is transformed with xslt.
The biggest issue is that not all elements under <current> and <previoius> are compared. So basically I have to get the list of elements which I want to compare somehow(property file or somthing)
and also for every element displayName value as well......

Vestrini thanks for the response.
The business scenario is this:
We have many different locations that are issuing payments. Each location has it's own set of signature levels required for the dynamic image(s) to show up on the signature lines. I am storing the signature level values in a DFF and would like to use them to help make the decision of when the signature shows up or not. We are doing this in an effort to reduce the number of templates that we have to create.
My current thought is that I can write a statement like this: <?if@inlines: C_CHECK_AMOUNT > ../../C_SIG_LEVEL_1 and C_CHECK_AMOUNT != 0?> 'insert dummy image' <?end if?>
However it is not working. If I put a value in the place of ../../C_SIG_LEVEL_1 like <?if@inlines: C_CHECK_AMOUNT > 10000 and C_CHECK_AMOUNT != 0?> 'insert image' <?end if?> it works fine.
Copy of the xml in next post. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks again.

Replace xml elements on OSB

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I have 2 xmls foo and bar and to insert the data from bar into foo
foo:=
<a>
<t>x</t>
<t>b</t>
<t>c</t>
<t>x</t>
<t>e</t>
</a>
bar:=
<data>
<x>a</x>
<x>c</x>
</data>
I need to insert into $foo//t[t/text()='x'] the values of $bar//x
The result should look like that:
newFoo:=
<a>
<t>a</t>
<t>b</t>
<t>c</t>
<t>d</t>
<t>e</t>
</a>
I need that to be done dynamically, meaning I don't know how many x's I'l have in foo but I do know that count($foo//t[t/text()=x]) == count($bar//x)
Thank you,
Vitaly

Hi,
First I recommend you see some tutorial and xpath xquery. (i.e. www.w3schools.com)
Posible solution, PseudoCode:
for $barElement on $bar
for $fooElement on $foo
if name($barElement) equal value($fooElement)
return changeValue($barElement, value(fooElement)
else
return $barElement

Replacing harcoded XML element attributes with variables

Is there any way for Xpath expressions in JAVA to refer to variables (for an attribute) instead of harcoded strings (like 'abc' and 'xyz' below)
So below ... 'abc' , 'xyz' could be varaibles.....
String getServerInstance="/Accounts/Account[@code='abc']/TestingProgram[@code='abc']/Modes/Mode[@code='xyz']/*";
Thanks a lot

I have a class now that resolves variables:
public class Resolve_Xpath_Vars implements XPathVariableResolver
     public Object resolveVariable(QName var)
try {
          if (var.equals(new QName("pqr")))
                    return new String("pqr");
          else if (var.equals(new QName("abcde")))
                    return new String("abcde");
else
return null;
catch (Exception ex)
          ex.printStackTrace();
          throw new RuntimeException();
NOWWWWW
how do i configure my XPATH expression to call this class to reolve my varaible....
XPATH EXPRESSION IS:
"this.Account" is the variable that the class should resolve.....to "pqr"
String getAccnt="/Accounts/Account[@code="+"'"+*this.Account*+"'"+"]/*";
Once resolved to "pqr" then i can make the following call:
NodeList nodeList =(NodeList) xPath.evaluate(getAccnt, inputSource, XPathConstants.NODESET );
any help is appreciated.............

Matching JS XML object with Indd XML elements

Hello Scripters,
I need help ...
I have some XML from a file read into a Javascript XML object.
The object has the name "myXml", and contains:
    <book id="bk101">
        <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
        <title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
        <genre>Computer</genre>
        <imagecontainer href="C:\33415677.JPG"></imagecontainer>
        <price>44.95</price>
        <publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
        <description><test>Sublevel</test>An in-depth look at creating applications with XML.</description>
    </book>
    ... and several other books
I also have some XML in Indesign, wich in my JS is known as "myTplXmlRoot".
myTplXmlRoot is defined as myTplXmlRoot = mySelection.associatedXMLElement;
What would be the best approach for matching elements of the same name in the two xml structures, and where there is a match* replace the Indesign content**, with that from the object "myXml"?
*) Match if same name, dont worry about place in hirachy
**) content might be an image

I've figured out the solution to my problem. For anyone
interested, see me code below (the xml element names are different,
but the concept is the same).

[JS-CS4] Associated XML element...

Hi,
I'm going crazy with this.
I have a table built with XML import and I need to get the XML element associated with a cell.
I use this code:
cell.associatedXMLElement
but it always returns "null".
Obviously that cell has a content in XML structure...
Any idea why?
Thanks.

Here's my script:
var my_doc = app.activeDocument;
var my_table = my_doc.pages.firstItem().textFrames.firstItem().tables.firstItem();
my_table.columns.firstitem().select();
var my_selection = doc.selection;
for(var c = 0; c < my_selection.length; c++){
     if(my_selection[c].associatedXMLElement.xmlAttributes.itemByName("type").value != "house"){
          my_selection[c].appliedCellStyle = doc.cellStyles.itemByName("column");
          my_selection[c].clearCellStyleOverrides(true);
This will run once the table is placed through XML import
I need to check the "type" XML attribute value for every XML cell, that's why I'm performing that if statement.
Basically if a cell's XML element has a "type" attribute with "house" value the script will not apply the "column" style.
The problem is that
my_selection[c].associatedXMLElement
always return null.
The XML data structure is:
<List><Category><Table><Cell/><Cell/>....</Table></Category></List>
So I have a simple table inside a textFrame.
I know what I'm doing could sound weird, but I experienced it's the most quick way to handle a big table within ID.
Here's the background story
Thanks again.

SAX, incor. data for XML element, XML 1.1 doc (1.0 ok) in JRE 6 (JRE 5 ok)

Hello,
for some reason, the test case below fails when driven with Java 6. Looks like, when long string data is stored in a XML element, DocumentHandler's characters() method will be provided with incorrect data.
With XML 1.0, parsing works fine in all my tests, Apache Xerces, JRE 5, JRE 6.
With XML 1.1., parsing works fine with Apache Xerces, JRE5 but not with JRE6.
I've checked it with latest JRE 6 update 4.
Anyone else xperiencing such problems with XML1.1 parsing when using JAXP bundled with Java 6?
I've tried to file a bug at bugdatabase, but for some reason I got no response for my issue - so I'm trying the forum now ;-)
Thanx for comments

thanx, DrClap, haven't seen the "code" button for some reason, code is attached again
The output of my test is like this for JRE6 (truncated)
xml_sun 456789 This is is some text 0. 0123456789 This is some text 1.
xml_apache 0123456789 This is some text 0. 0123456789 This is some text 1.
Notice, xml_sun not only starts wrong ("0123" missing) - for some reason, the text there is not "This is some text" but "This is is some text" - very interesting in a way. I guess there's an issue with repeated text chunks ...
So, the data in my XML element is kind of changed, the length of the string is okay but the characters are "misplaced" or so :-) I thought about a problem with StringBuffer first, but the StringBuffer works fine for Apache ... so I really think there's an issue with JRE 6's parser for XML 1.1

How to replace the existing selection screen with new selection screen

Hi,
I have first selection screen with parametre as a table name, then I have created dynamic selection screen as 2nd selection screen with different fields of that table as select options. This is done using genaration of dynamic report. Now If I click on button on this 2nd selction screen , then I want to replace this 2nd dynamic selection screen , with the other selection screen fields.
Can anybody guide me, How to do replace one slection screen with different selection screen.
and one imp thing is this selction screen is populating with dynamic fields on it.
Regards,
Mrunal

As I can understand you want to make some of the screen field to disable or visible on screen depending upon the interaction of user with screen 1.
You may use this example code in PBO of screen 2.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    " action has been taken to modify the area office screen as per the option chosen at screen 99.
    CASE ACTION.
        " if the user has taken up the option of UPLOAD
      WHEN 'UP'.     " screen processing while we upload the plan
        " during upload we will make dates as output fields only
        IF SCREEN-NAME = 'ZSDTPLANVRSIO-DAT_TO' OR SCREEN-NAME = 'ZSDTPLANVRSIO-DAT_FRM'.
          SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
          MODIFY SCREEN.
        ENDIF.
        " also make 2 buttons disabled
        IF SCREEN-NAME = 'AO_DO' OR SCREEN-NAME = 'AO_VE'.

How to move some xml element and its content to a new frame

Hi All,
How to move some xml element and its content to a new frame.

Hi Chinnadk,
Sorry my code its comment some lines. Now only I check the forum thread, you just try one more time.
#target InDesign;
#include "/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/Scripts/XML Rules/glue code.jsx"
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//____________________ XML RULE SET
var myRuleSet = new Array (new margintag);
with(myDoc){
    var elements = xmlElements;
    __processRuleSet(elements.item(0), myRuleSet);
function margintag(){
    this.name = "margintag";
    //this.xpath = "//margintag[@type='mn2']";
    this.xpath = "//margintag";
    this.apply = function(myElement, myRuleProcessor){
        with(myElement){
            app.select(myElement);
            try{
                var myPrePara = app.selection[0].paragraphs[-1].parentTextFrames[0].paragraphs.previousItem(app.selection[0].paragraphs[-1]);
                if(myPrePara.characters[-1].contents=="\r"){
                    myPrePara.characters[-1].remove();
                var myTextframe = myElement.placeIntoInlineFrame(["7p9","6p"]);
                myTextframe.appliedObjectStyle= myDoc.objectStyles.item("MN1");
                myTextframe.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
                myTextframe.parentStory.paragraphs.everyItem().appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.itemByName("MN1");
                }catch(e){}
            app.selection = null;
        return true;

Why don't you try Xerces2?Why don't you tell him to use the javax.xml APIs that are already built in? And that use Xerces2 under the hood? Instead of throwing out a suggestion that might lead to him adding another copy of Xerces into his application?
@OP there are several techniques:
- string replacement as suggested by jschell
- XML parsing to a DOM and then use the DOM API
- XSLT
Which you should use depends on the complexity of your requirement.

XML tag markers moved: Find and Replace causing problem in xml elements

Hi All,
I am doing find and replace using GREP. While using the expression like $1, $2 (Found Items) in the change to field it changes the placement of tag marker. If the found item is a part of two of more xml elements, I am getting a serious problem while replacing it. (ie. The xml tag markers are moved.)
See the screen shot below, then you may get better idea. And help me to overcome this issue.
This is just an example to show you what i'm trying to say, there are so many cases like this.
Original text/ Before doing find replace
After replacing
Green4ever

Hi Peter and John,
but it seems to me that the example is looking for any space that
follows a semi-colon and has two word characters following it, and
repalce that with an em space. I think you could do the same using look
behind and look ahead and not need to replace the found text.
Yes you are right about the look behind and look ahead. I'd like to show some more examples to show what the actual problem is,
Original/Before Replacing,
(Consider there is another case here, instead of em-space some times normal word space will also be there)
Using the Grep:
Find What---------> ^(\d+\.(?:\d+)?)~m
Change To------------->$1\t
After Replace:
Did I make any sense? Eventhough this will not make any changes in the layout, my requirement is to insert the tab out-side the tag marker not indise.

Howto use Converting File Content in Rec. Adapt. to suppress a xml-element

Hi,
we use PI/700, SP6.
I have following structure (example):
<MsgOut>
<Sender>Partner1</Sender>
<Receiver>Partner2</Receiver>
<FlatPayload>
     blabla blabla
</FlatPayload>
</Msgout>
Now I wanna use a XI-File-Adapter to write just a Flat-File with the content (of the element <FlatPayload>):
    blabla blabla
(in other words: I wanna suppress all other xml-elements beside of FlatPayload)
But I'm not able to configurate this with the function "Converting File Content"
I tried different possiblities:
e.g.
setting yyy.fieldFixedLengths = 0 and yyy.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
(yyy = Sender and Receiver)
or
just defining "MsgOut,FlatPayload" as RecordSet Structure (without Sender and Receiver)
Result: no success.
Now my question: is it possible to suppress some xml-elements?
Thanks for your help!
bye
Wolfgang

HI,
You can suppress the XML Nodes/Elements over here. Not Fields ..
For e.g if your outout xml is like this
<MsgOut>
    <Sender>Partner1</Sender>
    <Receiver>Partner2</Receiver>
<FlatPayload>
   <flatdata> blabla blabla</flatdatat>
</FlatPayload>
</Msgout>
In this case you can suppress the <FlatPayload> node/element here.. Using Cut Parameter in the Receiver File Content COnversion.
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12
So in your case, you can restructure your data type as you required.. I have mentioned in vice-versa here
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Moorthy
