Design strategic with XML

Hi Java expert around the world.
As far as i concern, i found that XML is just like another database system which is hierachy in nature, that store information about a web content.
Why we use XML and not other RDBMS to store such information?
Pls provide the advantages that can shows XML is better strategic.
Thanks.

ouch! i don't know where you've found this kind of monstruous information about XML...
here is the W3C's introduction to XML: Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere.

Issue with XML PDF and AdobeDesigner!

Hello! I have a PDF Document! With Acrobat Proffesional Reader i can File -> Export Form Data (Hope this is right in english) A new XML File will be generated The conten of the File <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <ichicsr lang=""> - <ichicsrmessageheader =""> <messagetype ="" /> <mailrcpt ="">[email protected]</mailrcpt> <mailbody ="">Test</mailbody> To this Point all works fine... but when i Load up the PDF File in AdobeDesigner, and save it up. (I do no changes at this Point, only Save the file.) and close And then i export second time the xml data with Acrobat Proffesional Reader the conten looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <ichicsr lang=""> - <ichicsrmessageheader lang=""> <messagetype lang="" /> <mailrcpt lang="">[email protected]</mailrcpt> <mailbody lang="">Test</mailbody> everywhere is written lang?!?!?!?! WHY??? How can I eliminate this effect?! HELP and sorry for my bad english!

Your XML processor should just ignore the tags it doesn't understand -
no problem.
It sounds as if you are trying to create a very simplified XML parser
that looks for text patterns. I advise against this. There are many
tools designed to parse XML and which will take care of the special
issues. A simple text approach will collapse the first time someone
types an ampersand "&" in their text...

Creating AIR/Web Apps. with XML & E4X using AS3

Needing tips using AS3 with XML/E4X to make my project work over the server:
1) Here I'm having trouble trying to create a component with a 'GOOGLE MAP' with the user being able to input their location for directions with once submitting the get directions button that it generates the directions in the datagrid automatically.
2) Including a 'DATAGRID' for customers to be able to retain their info in a datagrid that has been updated by office personnel from an 'AIR APPLICATION' with a XML file that holds the customers info

Hi All,
please note that we found the problem. The problem was that we didn't configure under:
"Configuration-> Security -> Message Security -> SOAP" the voprrect provider to handle the security.
After that was done (extract of domain.xml) the message was understood.
<provider-config class-name="com.sun.identity.agents.jsr196.as9soap.AMServerAuthModule" provider-id="AMServerProvider-UserNameToken-Plain" provider-type="server">
 <request-policy auth-source="content"/>
 <response-policy auth-source="content"/>
 <property name="providername" value="UserNameToken-Plain"/>
 </provider-config>unfortunately the next problem occured I will post in a new thread.

Overwrite mapping in design repository with the last one deployed

Hi
We have a Single Design Environment with 2 runtime environnment (Dev, Prod). When I log in the Dev Control Center, I see there is a mapping "changed". It has been changed by an employee who don't work here anymore and I have no clue what have been changed.
There is no specific request or obvious reason for that change, and since it's a huge and conplex mapping, I would like to overwrite (or "rollback") the mapping in the design environnment with the last one deployed in Production.
But I don't know how or if it's possible..! At least if I could compare the 2 version, I could tell if the change is good or not.
To me, it's a showstopper for incoming modifications..
There is no Snapshot and i'm using OWB 10gr2 since 1 month now, so all of these is new to me.
I really need help on this one...!
Thanks!

one onerous way to do this is
take the mdl exports of the mapping from both envs. Try opening them in an xml/html text editor(notepad++ for eg)
If they look like they are encrypted, try renaming the .mdl file to .zip( I can do this in 11g and what this gives me is a .xml file and a .mdx file which can be viewed in an xml editor)
You can then possibly do a text comparison to find if anything is obviously different.
Another good option is something our friend Oleg developed.
http://owbeg.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/release-005-of-mapreconstruct-script.html
This script extracts the mapping as an OMB script. You can then compare both mapping tcl outputs.

Connect interface with XML File in jdeveloper

i want to make interface and connect it with XML file wich has all employees data
how can i connect the interface ( input text box and output button) with XML file (taking the Id and searching inside the file and getting the data out in table as output)

Issue with XML bursting program

Hi All,
We have a Oracle concurrent program which generates PDF output using XML data and RTF template. This output is sent as attachment to a designated user using XML bursting.
The issue that we are facing is, the mail is sent to the recipients correctly when the program is run from my login. But when the same is run from anyone else’s login, the bursting program fails.
Suppose the receiver’s email id is [email protected], the error faced is
[oracle.apps.xdo.batch.DeliveryHelper][EXCEPTION] javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Illegal character in domain in string ``[email protected]@xyz.com''
On examining the XML bursting program log file for successful and error runs, I could see the below property in the log file-
For successful run: [SMTP_TO_RECIPIENTS:String] [[email protected]]
Whereas for unsuccessful run: [SMTP_TO_RECIPIENTS:String] [[email protected]@xyz.com]
Any pointers in this regard are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Kiranmayi.

Thanks for your quick response.
I believe the HP printer is an old one and I did have a couple of issues with it while using XML Publisher.However we've overcome those issues.
We have installed xpdf and have been using the pdf2ps utility.We have PASTA set up and printing works fine when Bursting is not used.
Is there some change I have to make to the configuration file/Bursting Control file to be able to use this pdf2ps utility to print to this Printer?
Nevertheless I will also try using ipp on one of our newer printers...
Thanks,
Lavina

Failed to Load database information - Crystal report with XML as datasource

Hello Friends:
I am getting the attached error when i try to load the Crystal Report with XML as data source.
I have designed the crystal report with the sample XML provided with XSD schema (PFA I have attached the XML and XSD). It is working as expected on design time. But it is failing when I load it from C# code.
Note: I have referred the following DLLs of version 13.0.2000.0 in my sample application.
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Design.dll
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
Please let me know what should be done in order to resolve this.
Thank you!

All I know is that you are using 'SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET". No idea what service pack or what version of .NET...
So. make sure you are on SP 9:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Search for KBA 1525432 (search box is in top right corner) and follow the instructions there.
Remove your reference to CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Design.dll
Add the following references:
CrystalDecisions.Shared
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource
CrystalDecisions.Web (if web app)
CrystalDecisions.Windows (if win app)
I'd also recommend commenting out the export code for now; one step at a time. Get it to work in the viewer, then move on... No Big Bangs

Dynamic Table with XML Schema

Hi, I am new to livecycle and wondering if there is any sample for setting up the dynamic table with XML schema so I can access the data through workbench's xpath. thanks.

Ivor,
Take a look at the samples shipped with Designer. For 8.2.1 release take a look at
C:\Program Files\Adobe\LiveCycle Designer ES\8.2\EN\Samples\Forms\Purchase Order\Schema\Schema\Purchase Order.xsd
and the form samples.
Otherwise, forward a request to [email protected] I would be happy to send you a sample XDP with a dynamic table and a schema.

Complete table view controller with XML

Hello, I'm from Brazil and am new to ios.
Today I am making an example where I use a table view controller and fill it witharray (NSMutableArray).
However I would do the same using XML so that now, I'm having so many difficulties to the point of not knowing where to start.
The code I use to populate this array was.
It is possible to use something like XML?
#pragma mark - View lifecycle
- (void)viewDidLoad
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations.
    // self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = NO;
    // Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
    // self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
    registros = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"1", @"2",@"3",@"4",@"5",@"6",@"7",@"8",@"9",@"10",@"11",@"12",@"13",@"14", nil];
- (void)viewDidUnload
    [super viewDidUnload];
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
#pragma mark - Table view data source
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
    // Return the number of sections.
    return 1;
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    return [registros count];
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"listax";//este é o identificador da celula
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    cell.textLabel.text = [registros objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    return cell;

If you have a custom XML schema (not a plist), consider two approaches.
1. Before showing your table view, use NSXMLParserto deserialize the XML document into an NSMutableArray that will be the table view data source. Typically the array contains custom class instances; one or more class properties are used to set table cell properties in cellForRowAtIndexPath. If you have never worked with NSXMLParser (or any other SAX parser) before, start by creating a sample app so you understand how that works.
2. Use a 3rd-party DOM parser like GDataXML. Load your XML document into a class property in your table view's viewDidLoad. Then the XML document will be the table view data source since elements and attributes can be directly queried using XPath in cellForRowAtIndexPath. If you have never worked with XML DOM and XPath before, start by creating a sample app so you understand how that works.
If your have a lengthy complex XML document, option #1 might be more efficient because indexed array access is faster than XPath queries. Theoretically that is why Apple's Cocoa provides DOM support on OS X but not iOS. There are strategies to improve efficiency if necessary, including your own indexing scheme. The best solution depends on many factors. For example, if your XML document includes thousands of rows, but users rarely scroll past the first 10, option #1 would waste time parsing everything.
Both of these approaches keep all data in memory, which is fast but not friendly. Perfectly fine for reasonably sized data sets.

Designing services for xml over http client requests

Hi
I am new to WebServices and Weblogic Integration. I have been using it for only over a month. I have a very basic design issue.
We have to provide a service that
1. accepts xml over http requests
2. Returns a request ack
3. Process Form a response -This activity consumes time so it will be made asynchronous
4. Send the response as xml over http
5. Wait for response ack
6. Get another type of request from client, the processign of which depends on the result of the previous request .. and so on..
The problem here is that Webservices accepts only SOAP messages but our client will send raw xml messages. Also we need to remember the condition of the previous state.
I dont know if my assumption that SOAP is used is right.
Please tell me how to design a raw xml based system without using SOAP messages.
Thanks

I don't see nothing wrong with your code, there must be something else happening.
You sure you are not being some proxy server?? but even then you are making a post request so it shouldn't be happening.

Defining entities with XML schema

Hi,
I came across a problem with XML schema's apparent lack of support for entities. e.g. we define an entity like this:
<!ENTITY le "≤" >.
First off I was trying in my XML instance to include an external entity file like this:
<!DOCTYPE wpi [
<!ENTITY % DerwentXmlEntities PUBLIC "-//Derwent//Derwent XML General ENTITIES 20000214//EN"
"derwent-xml-entities.ent">
%DerwentXmlEntities;
]>
<WPI xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.derwent.co.uk/wpi.xsd">
but I am not clear on where I should place the file derwent-xml-entities.ent. Everything I tried ended up with:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00202: could not open file "derwent-xml-entities.ent"
Is it possible to include a file like this?
So I tried just defining an entity like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE wpi [
<!ENTITY times "×">
<!ENTITY le "≤">
]>
The "times" seems OK, but for "le" I get:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00217: invalid character 8804 (\u2264)
What sort of encoding should I use?
Thanks
Pete

EBS 12.1 integrate with XML Publisher

Hi all
I'm new in Xml Publisher yet and I used Oracle Discoverer before
but now i want to use Xml Publisher for reporting.
I see usefull post BI Publisher on EBS R12
also Note: 552735.1 - Integrating Oracle Business Intelligence Applications with Oracle E-Business Suite
but I have some problem yet.
in some article has been said that we should http://<hostname>: <port >/xmlpserver for Logging in to Oracle BI Publisher
1. I think this is not for EBS (is only for when we installed Oracle BI Publisher), is it true?
2. as default xml publisher is active in ebs and we can use this for our report, is it true?
3. i think xml publisher in EBS give us only xml file and we should use Xml Publisher Desktop to see our reports (With xml file source), is it true?
can anybody help me please ....
Thanks

Correct - this is for a standalone install of BI Publisher and not applicable to EBS.
2. as default xml publisher is active in ebs and we can use this for our report, is it true?
Yes - you can use BI Publisher to create reports out of EBS base tables. If you are wanting to create reports out of any custom tables or remote custom databases, pl contact your Oracle salesperson for licensing issues.
3. i think xml publisher in EBS give us only xml file and we should use Xml Publisher Desktop to see our reports (With xml file source), is it true?
BI Publisher Desktop is a development tool to design the layout of the reports. EBS includes seeded xml templates as well as design templates. When XML reports are run, these two templates are automatically used to produce the desired output.

Query Design Strategies - servicing multiple reports from a single query

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good web resrouces (articles and such) to assist with Query Design Strategies. What I am specifically looking to do is replace multiple reports from the previous system with just views of a single query. So I was looking at grouping the existing reports that we are replacing into queries and creating views for each report.
The catch is that we will only be utilizing web reporting for report distribution, so we need to:
1. Use views as DataProviders to web templates
2. Broadcast views to users as links where they can see that particular view
Is this possible and does anyone have some info on how to do this?

Lets say that 10 broadcasted reports all could use the same query but each in a different navigational state.
1. Can you navigate the query and save as a view and then set up a brodacast rule for that view?
2. Can a DataProvider in a web template be a view?
3. Can the BI Launcher iView take a view name in place of a query?

Design issue with the multiprovider

Design issue with the multiprovider :
I have the following problem when using my multiprovider.
The data flow is like this. I have the info-objects IobjectA, IobjectB, IobjectCin my Cube.(Source for this data is s-systemA)
And from another s-system I am also loading the masterdata for IobjectA
Now I have created the multiprovider based on the cube and IobjectA.
However, surprisingly join in not workign in multiprovider correctly.
Scenario :
Record from the Cube.
IObjectA= 1AAA
IObjectB = 2BBB
IObjectC = 3CCC
Records from IobjectA =1AAA.
I expect the record should be like this :
IObjectA : IObjectB: IObjectC
1AAA       :2BBB       :3CCC
However, I am getting the record like this:
IObjectA : IObjectB: IObjectC
1AAA       :2BBB       :3CCC
1AAA         : #             :#
In the Identification section I have selected both the entries for IobjectA still I am getting this error.
My BW Version is 3.0B and the SP is 31.
Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

May be I was not clear enough in my first explanation, Let me try again to explain my scenario:
My Expectation from Multi Provider is :
IObjectA
1AAA
(From InfoObject)
Union
IObjectA     IObjectB     IObjectC
1AAA     2BBB     3CCC
(From Cube)
The record in the multiprovider should be :
IObjectA     IObjectB     IObjectC
1AAA     2BBB     3CCC
Because, this is what the Union says .. and the Definition of the multiprovider also says the same thing :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw30b/helpdata/EN/ad/6b023b6069d22ee10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Do you still think this is how the behaviour of the multiprovider.. if that is the case what would be the purpose of having an infoobject in the multiprovider.
Thank you very much in advance for your responses.
Best Regards.,
Praveen.

Custom action with XML type input and output parameter.

Hi,
I want to develop custom action with xml type input and/or output parameter.
Is there sample code for java side. How is the definition of input and/or output parameter and set/get methods?
does it need special .jar file to develop custom action like this?
Thanks.

Cemil - yes, you can use XML data types. Use the class
com.sap.lhcommon.xml.XMLDataType
for your parameter type. Here is a snippet from a custom action we use to log XML (instead of just returning the #text node like the default logger does):
public class XMLLogger extends ActionReflectionBase
    private String source;
    private String eventType;
    private String textMessage;
    private XMLDataType xmlMessage;
    public XMLLogger()
        log = new Logger("UserLog");
        source = DEFAULT_SOURCE;
        eventType = TYPE_INFO;
        textMessage = "";
        xmlMessage = new XMLDataType();
    public XMLDataType getXmlMessage()
        return xmlMessage;
    public void setXmlMessage(XMLDataType xmlMessage)
        this.xmlMessage = xmlMessage;
    public void Invoke(Transaction transaction, ILog ilog)
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        sb.append('[');
        sb.append(source);
        sb.append("] ");
        sb.append(textMessage);
        sb.append(XMLUtils.convertXmlToString(xmlMessage));
XMLUtils is a helper class we wrote - it's just a bunch of standard Java XML boilerplate code. The important part you need to know is XMLDataType.getDocument() will return an org.w3c.dom.Document.
I hope that was enough information to help.
