Difficulty parsing XML document into query object

Background: Using CFMX 6.1 to take an XML file exported from
MS-Access and parse it into a query object.
Problem: Of the 6 columns defined in the target query, one of
the columns is only populated in the XML file a very low percentage
of the time. When trying to populate the column for a record that
has no volume I was getting the following error:
Element KEY6.XMLTEXT is undefined in a Java object of type
class coldfusion.xml.XmlNodeMap referenced as...
To get around this I made this code change:
Before
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(mcquery, "CuKey6",
#mydoc.root.dataroot.qTop1000
.Key6.XmlText#, #i#)>
After
<cfif
StructKeyExists(mydoc.root.dataroot.qTop1000.XMLAttributes,"Key6")>
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(mcquery, "CuKey6",
#mydoc.root.dataroot.qTop1000
.Key6.XmlText#, #i#)>
</cfif>
The new code gets around the error, but when the template is
executed, columns that DO have values
show up as "[empty string]".
I am trying to figure out why when the record has a actual
value it is now overwritten instead of populated
normally?

Use XmlChildren[1], XmlChildren[2],... etc., in place of
Key1, Key2, etc.

Parsing XML document with nested elements into multiple db tables(master-detail)

Can you help me with storing xml document into master-detail tables?
I have two tables:
1) customers (customerid number primary key, firstname varchar2(30),lastname varchar2(30))
2) cust_addresses (customerid number references customers, street varchar2(30),city varchar2(30),state varchar2(10),zip varchar2(10))
I have XML document:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I know that I must use DBSM_XMLSave package, create view and instead of trigger but I did found no example in documentation.
Thanx.

Interested question; one I do not know the answer to at the moment, I am afraid. I would like to know your results.
To tell others, though, what I have done. I did finally adapt Muench's not-yet-published examples #71 to work with a table. Here the table has as it's value "#{backing_app_EPG_DAYPG.jobDayDriverTable[row.Id1]}"
This accesses a hash map defined in the backing bean as follows:
public Map jobDayDriverTable = new HashMap(){
@Override
public Object get(Object key) {
Number jobDayId = (Number)key;
if (getEpgDayPage().jobDayDrivers(jobDayId) != null) {
return getEpgDayPage().jobDayDrivers(jobDayId).getAllRowsInRange();
else return null;
jobDayDrivers returns RowIterator. From this I call getAllRowsInRange which returns a Row[]. The table consumes this as a value, and lists the values as I want.
Since the table is using Rows for its rows, I am guessing that it would have access to #{row.rowKeyStr}, or at least #{row.<pk>} which would allow you to programmatically set the current row using code like the following:
public static boolean setCurrentRow() {
// BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding =
// bindings.getOperationBinding("setCurrentRowWithKey");
(OperationBinding)EL.get("#{bindings.setCurrentRowWithKey}");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return false;
return true;
You could call this as part of code in a pages backing bean behind a button or link.
Hope this helps somebody.
By the way example #71 was to get a detail set of rows from a master row value and display the detail set in the master row of an af:table.

To load an XML document into 40 tables

How do I load a large XML document into 40 tables. Most of the exmaples, I see only load one table into the Orcale database?

From the above document:
Storing XML Data Across Tables
Question
Can XML- SQL Utility store XML data across tables?
Answer
Currently XML-SQL Utility (XSU) can only store to a single table. It maps a canonical representation of an XML document into any table/view. But of course there is a way to store XML with the XSU across table. One can do this using XSLT to transform any document into multiple documents and insert them separately. Another way is to define views over multiple tables (object views if needed) and then do the inserts ... into the view. If the view is inherently non-updatable (because of complex joins, ...), then one can use INSTEAD-OF triggers over the views to do the inserts.
-- I've tried this, works fine.

Can I append an XML Document into another?

I have a large xml document which I open into coldfusion (mx
7), and then a smaller group of files that are opened into thier
own xml objects. After some customization of xml text values, I
want to append the smaller xml documents into the larger document
at specific positions within the document tree.
I have the code that I thought would do this, using an
arrayappend function, but what happens is that only the root
element of the smaller (inserted) xml document is placed into the
main document.
Is this possible, or do I need to modify the code so that the
entire tree of xml data that I am appending is created on the
fly?

Personally I do this with XSLT.

Parse XML document which have xlink/xpointer inside

dear friends,
There are lots of topic talking about parse xml, validating xml with schema and so on, but no one or any book talking about parsing xml document which can parse document with link inside.
According to Mr Meggison at http://www.megginson.com/Background/
we can do it, but he is not expert with this thing.
For example I have 3 XML document. My main XML document, let named it A.XML have XPointer inside and this element pointing to B.XML and C.XML using xpointer. how to parse A.XML and in the same time my SAX recognized this XPointer and parse also element inside B.XML and C.XML.
I am really grateull for any helpful information from you.
best regards

I think you need to look for a SAX or DOM parser that undestands XPointers and knows how to follow them to additional content.
I have used XSLT and specified external documents to it. It knows how to read a document and in effect make a nodeset which can be searched with the XPath capabilities of XSLT.
It sounds like you wnat an <include file="xxx"/> capability and have the parser stop reading the current file, and start reading the second file.
That works in Schemas, but I'm unaware of any way to do it with SAX or DOM in one pass.
It would not be too hard to process the first file, say with DOM.
After the Document is built, go find the <include> elements, read get the attribute needed, build a new Document and merge it into the original Document in place of the <include> element.
Is this more what you want to do?

Open .xml documents into InDesign?

Is there a way to open .xml documents into InDesign, or any Adobe program?
The goal is to access text from a web site feed and place it in an Indesign doc, to create a print product.

You can't open XML but you can certainly utilize it.

XML document into multiple tables

How to insert a xml document into multiple tables. Eg. Purchase Order having multiple line items. I have to insert xml document into Parent as well as child with different sets of columns.

I created the tables using the create_ch14_tables.sql. I call it using java -classpath .;C:\commerceone\xpc\lib\xmlparserv2.jar;C:\commerceone\xpc\lib\classes12.zip;C:\commerceone\xpc\lib\xsu12.jar XMLLoader -file deptempdepend.xml -connName default -transform deptempdepend.xsl. The code doesn't seem to like the "<xsl:for-each select="Department">" tags. If I remove them, the insDoc.getDocumentElement().getFirstChild() will find the element, but it still doesn't insert anything into the database.
Thank You,
Dave

Existing XML documents into KM

Hello Everyone
Is there a way to load existing xml documents into KM and then maintain them using xml forms built using the form builder. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Swetha

Hi Renuka
You can move the XML projects from one server to another.The Xml forms created is stored in the path 'etc\xmlforms' in KM. You can send it out and Upload to the target server instead of creating the same in the Target server from the scratch.

Exception when inserting a XML document into database

Hello.
I'm trying to insert the content of a XML document into a database. The problem consists on the exception that is raised when a FK in the XML is not in the database as a PK
How can i catch these exceptions and continuing inserting the rest of the data
Thanks in advance ...

I really hope for you this wasn't a production database, as mentioned in the URL, it has been some years ago for me fiddling around this which was btw a supported metalink workaround ONCE (during my Oracle 7 days), but now, I wouldn't be surprised if you now have mixed NLS content in your tables/database and more or less "corrupted" your content.
The initial issue was probably a client one.
BTW
I actually hope it was a production database, maybe then you would learn that way, that you SHOULD NEVER EVER UPDATE DATABASE BASE TABLES directly...
...unless (the only exception) you want to learn something about the internals and don't care that your TEST database gets corrupted....

How to ftp XML document into a XML type which is not created by itself.

Hi,
1.
I have a table call SNPLEX_DESIGN which is created automaticly when I register a snplex_design.xsd XML schema.( Oracle creates it through the xdb:defaultTable="SNPLEX_DESIGN attribute). and it is created using SNPLEX user account.
2.
I also created a folder (resource) call /home/SNPLEX/Orders. which is used to hold all the incoming XML document.
3.
I created another user account call SNPLEX_APP, which is the only user account allowed to FTP XML document into /home/SNPLEX/Orders folder.
Isuues,
If I login as SNPLEX user, I can ftp XML document into the folder and TABLE (the file size = 0). But If I login as SNPLEX_APP user account, I can only ftp XML document into the folder, but Oracle doesn't store the document into the table( becuase the files size shows a number).
I have granted all the ACL privileges on the /home/SNPEX/Orders folder to SNPLEX_APP hrough OEM.
DO I miss anything. Any helps will be great appreciated. Resolve this issues is very import to us, sicne we are on a stage to roll system into production.
Regards,
Jinsen

IN order for a registered schema to be available to other users the schema must be registered as a GLOBAL, rather than a LOCAL Schema. This is controlled by the third agument passed to registerSChema, and the default is local. Note that you will also need to explicity grant appropriate permissions on any tables created by the schema registration process to other users who will be loading or reading data from these tables.

and have one recordset. Is that possible with xml documents
and Spry =
datasets?
I have xml information sent to me 4 times a day from a
weather service. =
This happens automatically, but the two xml documents
(current.xml and =
forecast.xml) are set in stone by the service. However, if in
my Spry =
dataset, I could combine them so I could list the 15 cities
in a master =
region and have tabs for the current conditions and forecast
which would =
each access a separate xml document but needs to do that from
the city =
link on the left, that would work great.
Can I do this as I would be able to if I had a database with
different =
tables?
Thanks!

Hi Kin:
They are really static xml files that are placed in a folder
directly by =
the weather service. The files in question are current.xml
and =
forecast.xml.
And there is not one per city .. but just one of each. the
location =
node in current.xml and the citycode node in forecast.xml
contain the =
same information.
If I were doing this in a recordset with a database, I would
write =
something like SELECT whatever from current, forecast WHERE =
current.location =3D forecast.citycode AND current.location
=3D variable =
(which would be what is clicked on).
This sets up a master/detail arrangement for the first one
that works =
fine. Click on the city code (which I have to write something
to say If =
location =3D FAT, document.write "Fresno" and so on) and the
rest of the =
current information displays fine on the right side of the
page. Now I =
have to marry that to the forecast.xml file so that when
citycode =3D =
FAT, the five day information for Fresno shows up .. and so
on. I was =
planning to use Spry tabs or whatever to show the data.

Arnout gave me some suggestions .. but so far, I haven't
gotten either =

Thanks,

How to parse XML document with default namespace with JDOM XPath

Hi All,
I am having difficulty parsing using Saxon and TagSoup parser on a namespace html document. The relevant content of this document are as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
    <div id="container">
        <div id="content">
            <table class="sresults">
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        <a href="http://www.abc.com/areas" title="Hollywood, CA">hollywood</a>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <a href="http://www.abc.com/areas" title="San Jose, CA">san jose</a>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <a href="http://www.abc.com/areas" title="San Francisco, CA">san francisco</a>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <a href="http://www.abc.com/areas" title="San Diego, CA">San diego</a>
                    </td>
              </tr>
</body>
</html>
Below is the relevant code snippets illustrates how I have attempted to retrieve the contents (value of <a>):
             import java.util.*;
             import org.jdom.*;
             import org.jdom.xpath.*;
             import org.saxpath.*;
             import org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser;
( 1 )       frInHtml = new FileReader("C:\\Tmp\\ABC.html");
( 2 )       brInHtml = new BufferedReader(frInHtml);
( 3 ) //    SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
( 4 )       SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser");
( 5 )       org.jdom.Document jdomDocument = saxbuilder.build(brInHtml);
( 6 )       XPath xpath = XPath.newInstance("/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='container']/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:table[@class='sresults']/ns:tr/ns:td/ns:a");
( 7 )       xpath.addNamespace("ns", "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
( 8 )       java.util.List list = (java.util.List) (xpath.selectNodes(jdomDocument));
( 9 )       Iterator iterator = list.iterator();
( 10 )     while (iterator.hasNext())
( 11 )     {
( 12 )            Object object = iterator.next();
( 13 ) //         if (object instanceof Element)
( 14 ) //               System.out.println(((Element)object).getTextNormalize());
( 15 )             if (object instanceof Content)
( 16 )                   System.out.println(((Content)object).getValue());
.This program would work on the same document without the default namespace, hence, it would not be necessary to include ns prefix along in the XPath statements (line 6-7) either. Moreover, I was using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser to have successfully retrieve content of <a> from the same document without default namespace in the past.
I would like to achieve the following objectives if possible:
( i ) Exclude DTD and namespace in order to simplifying the parsing process. How this could be done?
( ii ) If this is not possible, how to include it in XPath statements (line 6-7) so that the value of <a> is picked up correctly?
( iii ) Would changing from org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser to org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser make any difference as far as using XPath is concerned?
( iv ) Failing to exlude DTD, how to change the lookup of a PUBLIC DTD to a local SYSTEM one and include a local DTD for reference?
I am running JDK 1.6.0_06, Netbeans 6.1, JDOM 1.1, Saxon6-5-5, Tagsoup 1.2 on Windows XP platform.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Here's an example of using a custom EntityResolver with the standard DocumentBuilder provided by the JDK. The code may or may not be similar for the parsers that you're using.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringReader;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.xml.sax.EntityResolver;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
public class ParseExamples
    private final static String COMMON_XML

        +     "</artist>"
        +     "<artist name=\"Fine Young Cannibals\">"
        +         "<album>The Raw & The Cooked</album>"
        +     "</artist>"
        + "</music>";
    private final static String COMMON_DTD
        = "<!ELEMENT music (artist*)>"
        + "<!ELEMENT artist (album+)>"
        + "<!ELEMENT album (#PCDATA)>"
        + "<!ATTLIST artist name CDATA #REQUIRED>";
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    throws Exception
        // this version uses just a SYSTEM identifier - note that it gets turned
        // into a file: URL
        String xml = "<!DOCTYPE music SYSTEM \"bar\">"
                   + COMMON_XML;
        // this version uses both PUBLIC and SYSTEM identifiers; the SYSTEM ID
        // gets munged, the PUBLIC ID doesn't
//        String xml = "<!DOCTYPE music PUBLIC \"foo\" \"bar\">"
//                   + COMMON_XML;
        DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        dbf.setValidating(true);
        DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
        db.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver()
            public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
                throws SAXException, IOException
                System.out.println("publicId = " + publicId);
                System.out.println("systemId = " + systemId);
                return new InputSource(new StringReader(COMMON_DTD));
        Document dom = db.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml)));
        System.out.println("root element name = " + dom.getDocumentElement().getNodeName());
}
