Delete xml element not used in document

Hi,
If you have a number of texts tagged with an xml element and then delete the text, the element still exist in the structure.
You can see the element still connected to a text, by the blue diamond on the element symbol.
But i want do delete the elements that have no connection to texts, but cant find the right property to look for.
In Java script CS4.
Anyone knows?
/Mikael

If the (text) element is unplaced, its parentStory will be an XmlStory rather than a Story.
So try:
var elements = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i = elements.length - 1;i >= 0;i--){
if(elements[i].parentStory.constructor.name === "XmlStory"){
elements[i].remove();
This is untested. If you have tagged graphics frames it will need to be modified to not error on those.

Then you should provide more details on what you want this new script should do.
To "delete XML tags in already tagged text", all you need is use the "untag" command on an XML Element. But how would the script "know" what XML Element should be untagged?

How can we get the reference of XML element on frame as soon as frame is created in Document?

Hi,
When ever we copy any text/table cells from any frame, and paste it directly on page, A new Frame is created and the pasted text is placed inside that frame.
Now to capture this frame creation, We have two possible solutions:
1) Attach Observer on Document 'kDocBoss' on IID_IHIERARCHY_DOCUMENT and it will notify on frame creation in update function.
2) Notification event on new story creation.
Now, I need to perform some changes in the newly created table, for example:
a) Need to delete XML tags from newly created frame
b) Need to perform action on table cells if any in the created frame.
But the problem is, when the event comes, I can access basic properties of frame like it's name, type etc, but it does not give me the
XML element on frame or tables in frame until the event is com pleat.
I know it's quite a specif requirement, but I guess many of you might have faced these kind of challenges, while processing the event.
Does any one has any idea how I can get the reference of XML element on frame as soon as it is created?

Hi Kapoor,
please give also others a chance, and excuse that I get up late on vacation ;-)
Anyway, I'd keep the story creation responder to recognize the copy, then combine it with an observer on the backing xml story to catch the associated XML element which is created there. Something like below:
UIDRef xmlStoryRef = Utils<IXMLUtils>()->GetBackingStore(doc);
InterfacePtr<ISubject> subject ( xmlStoryRef,IID_ISUBJECT );
subject->AttachObserver(observer,IID_IIDXMLELEMENT,observer->GetAttachIID());

Hiding XML elements in the structure view – scripting influence to the structure view?

Hi
Is there a way to hide specific XML elements (really the elements and not the attributes) in the structure view?
I am asking this question to know if it is possible to influence the structure view by scripting.
Many elements are indeed used as a kind of help for constructions which have nothing to do with the actual contents especially in the case of tables.
You inflate the the structure view unnecessarily and the author will lose track of the real contents. It would be nice if there was a possibility to hide those help construction elements.
Thank you for any hints.
Regards
Apollo102

Hello Apollo,
There is a way to hide elements from the Structure View (one such method is offered by the free AXCM plug-in). What happens when you use AXCM (or other methods to hide elements) is that the elements get wrapped into hidden content. This might make the structure view less complex for your authors, but has a number of disadvantages and dangers.
1. The structure is normally invalidated, as the helper elements are usually required.
2. Accidentally deleting hidden content may make the invalidation permanent and render your documents useless.
It is NOT good practice to hide elements from authors in the structure view. Instead, you should either teach authors about the structure, or let them work in the Author View while adding sufficiently clear formatting to show them the underlying structure. In some cases, it might be better to create an authoring structure which is automatically transformed into the required full structure using an XSLT or other processing step. I have created a couple of such environments and they work fine. It just depends on the difference between the structure required for further processing and the structure that would be optimal for your authors (which in turn depends on the level at which your authors are experienced in working with structured content).
I hope this helps you solve your problem without having to tweak the structure view.
Kind regards

DOM xml white space in xml element

Hi there
Can anyone please help me out with a issue I'm having with altering an xml, and then storing it.
The thing is, that when I delete all elements under a parent to insert something new there's a big gap when looking at the xml. Like this
orginal xml fil(as an example):
<batch>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
</batch>
with code:
          for(int i = 0; i < antallStartTagger ;i++)
               //System.out.println("Slettet invoicetag nr: " + i);
               Element startTag = (Element) nodeEn.item(0);                              // Forrige er slettet, s� neste f�rste hele tiden
               startTag.getParentNode().removeChild(startTag);
don't bother the name. The result is:
<batch>
<- still space
</batch>
and when I insert a new element, it put itself at the far bottom, like this:
<batch>
<newtag>
</newtag>
<newtag>
</newtag>
</batch>
And for saving the file STILL with gaps I use the Transformer class:
File xmlOutputFile = new File(filename......);
     FileOutputStream fos = null;
     Transformer transformer = null;
               fos = new FileOutputStream(xmlOutputFile);
               // Use a Transformer for output
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
     transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
          DOMSource source = new DOMSource(documentSkjellett);
          StreamResult result = new StreamResult(fos);
          // transform source into result will do save
     transformer.transform(source, result);
     ediLog.append(" -> [" + ediFil + "] lagret");
          catch (FileNotFoundException e)
          {System.out.println("##FEIL## : FileNotFoundException i lagreXMLFil: " + e.getMessage() + " " + e);}
          catch (TransformerConfigurationException e)
          {System.out.println("##FEIL## : TransformerConfigurationException i lagreXMLFil: " + e.getMessage() + " " + e);}
          catch (TransformerException e)
          {System.out.println("##FEIL## : TransformerException i lagreXMLFil: " + e.getMessage() + " " + e);}
Can anyone advice?
Paul

It's because <batch> has two types of children: elements and text nodes.
Assuming that the text is just whitespace, and you don't care about any text occurring between nodes, first call document.normalize() to aggregate all that text into one big node, then seek out and destroy it.
Alternately, if you know that there shouldn't be any text directly under <batch>, simply iterate through its child nodes and remove any that are instanceof Text.

XML element "userComments" of variable "UserComments" is not defined error while deploying AccountDistribution composite to soa server

Hi,
We did deploying AccountDistribution composite to soa server hosted in our test environment but We could not succeed as the following error was thrown on compilation itself in Jdeveloper.
<snip>
Error(124): XML element "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/InvoiceSynchronization/AccountDistribution/AccountDistribution}userComments" of variable "UserComments" is not defined
<snip>
We have had 4 variables defined with element attribute in our AccountDistribution bpel
<variable name="UserComments" element="client:userComments"/>
and for every variable we are coming up with this error on composite deployment.
We have tried multiple workarounds like deleting SCA-INF of AccountDistribution that is auto generated by Jdeveloper etc but but no luck, we are still coming up with same error.
We back traced for the element's definition i.e userComments definition and we could find the definition in xsd stored in MDS as per configuration.
Please provide your advise on how to proceed further on this issue.
Thanks,
Satheesh

Hi Nicolas,
adf-config.xml is for all the composites present in the project, but we are getting this error in only 1 composite, our other composites are working fine without any error.
We tried creating a new variable with type element and getting same error.
Thanks

Search for, edit, and delete XML tag (Adobe InDesign Server CS5)

Hi all,
I'm working with Indesign Server CS5 and JavaScript, though having some trouble coming up with a solution to a problem...
I need to build a JS script (called through SOAP) that will enable me to search an InDesign file for a given XML tag.
Upon finding the XML tag, if the 'action' variable is set to delete, it should delete the tag and its contents.
If the action is set to edit, it should change the contents of the tag to some user-specified content.
The primary caveat is that the XML tag is variable, as is the XML structure of the InDesign file.
Here's what I have in mind, in pseudocode:
function findXMLTag(tag, action) {
     app.searchForTag(tag);
     if (tagIsFound) {
          if (action == "delete") {
               tag.delete;
          } else if (action == "edit") {
               tag.contents = "Updated content";
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben Kay

'searchForTag' can be implemented as a recursive function.
Recursion is defined like this: I thought, "I'll just search this forum for 'recursion'." The first post I found was one of my own, suggesting that the poster should search the forum for 'recursion'.
Here is an example: find the XML Element [<email>]
And another: Remove xml element using JS[CS3] (read carefully, as the OP got stuck on how to successfully remove an element and continue)
And one, using XML Rules -- which I'm totally unfamiliar with, but may work for you: Changing Values in XML tags

XMLBeans - how to delete an element?

Guys,
How do you delete an element within an xml data element?
If there's more than one way what are they?
Currently, I've generated XML java objects. I see a setNil() method and a couple removeXXX methods but neither appear to delete the element I'm trying to give the axe to.
Thanks!

thnx..Mak,
Say we wish to delete the second element of an array a[1]. Do you really believe that a[1] = a[2] somehow magically deletes a[1]? I really don't think so Tim.
Two eggs, minus 1, equals two eggs? Interesting theory, but I think you're probably wrong.

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.
