Display XML data bottom up

I have a php form that when processed, opens an existing xml
file and writes to the end of it:
<code>
$file_handle = fopen('products.xml','a');
$content=(
<new product>
<date>{$_POST['date']}</date>
<name>{$_POST['name']}</name>
<price>{$_POST['price']}</price>
</new product>
fwrite($file_handle,$content);
fclose($file_handle);
</code>
Each week, a new date (formatted as mm/dd/yyyy), product and
price is added to this master xml list. The list is large and
contains a weekly input for date, product name and price going back
to 2004. To display the master list on the web, I am using a Spry
Data table with the sort function enabled:
<code>
var products = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("products.xml",
"/products/newproduct");
products.setColumnType("date", "name", "price");
function DoSort()
products.sort(["date", "name", "price"], "toggle");
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Display and Sort All Products</h3>
<div spry:region="products">
<table>
<tr>
<th spry:sort="date">Date</th>
<th spry:sort="name">Product Name</th>
<th spry:sort="price">Price</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="products">
<td>{date}</td>
<td>{name}</td>
<td>{price}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</code>
Everything works perfectly, except that by default, the xml
data is being displayed "top-down" so that the first item is in
2004, with the last item being the current weekly input for 2008. I
would like the table (by defuault or on load) to display the xml
data "bottom-up" so that the most recent input is always at the
top.
Can someone please help me figure out how to do this? I have
looked for the answer everywhere, but can't seem to find a
solution.

A other thing u could do is sort the region on postLoad the
first time..
First create a global variable something like:
var productsLoaded = false;
than add a observer to your dataset..
products.addObserver({onPostLoad:function(){
if(!productsLoaded){
productsLoaded = true;
DoSort();
so.. total code:
var products = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("products.xml",
"/products/newproduct");
var productsLoaded = false;
products.setColumnType("date", "name", "price");
function DoSort()
products.sort(["date", "name", "price"], "toggle");
products.addObserver({onPostLoad:function(){
if(!productsLoaded){
productsLoaded = true;
DoSort();
}});

DataGrid does not display XML data

Hello, and thanks for reading this...
I am having a problem displaying XMLList data in a DataGrid.
The data is coming from a Tree control, which is receiving it
from a database using HTTPService.
The data is a list of "Job Orders" from a MySQL database,
being formatted as XML by a PHP page.
If it would be helpful to see the actual XML, a sample is
here:
http://www.anaheimwib.com/_login/get_all_orders_test2.php
All is going well until I get to the DataGrid, which doesn't
display the data, although I know it is there as I can see it in
debug mode. I've checked the dataField property of the appropriate
DataGrid column, and it appears correct.
Following is a summary of the relevant code.
...An HTTPService named "get_all_job_orders" retrieves
records from a MySQL database via PHP...
...Results are formatted as E4X:
HTTPService resultFormat="e4x"
...An XMLListCollection's source property is set to the
returned E4X XML results:
...The "order" node is what is being used as the top-level of
the XML data.
<mx:XMLListCollection id="jobOrdersReviewXMLList"
source="{get_all_job_orders.lastResult.order}"/>
...The "jobOrdersReviewXMLList" collection is assigned to be
the dataProvider property of a Tree list, using the @name syntax to
display the nodes correctly, and a change event function is defined
to add the records to a DataGrid on a separate Component for
viewing the XML records:
<mx:Tree dataProvider="{jobOrdersReviewXMLList}"
labelField="@name"
change="jobPosForm.addTreePositionsToDG(event)"/>
...Here is the relevant "jobPosForm" code (the Job Positions
Form, a separate Component based on a Form) :
...A variable is declared:
[Bindable]
public var positionsArray:XMLList;
...The variable is initialized on CreationComplete event of
the Form:
positionsArray = new XMLList;
...The Tree's change event function is defined within the
"jobPosForm" Component.
...Clicking on a Tree node fires the Change event.
...This passes an event object to the function.
...This event object contains the XML from the selected Tree
node.
...The Tree node's XML data is passed into the positionsArray
XMLList.
...This array is the dataProvider for the DataGrid, as you
will see in the following block.
public function addTreePositionsToDG(event:Event):void{
this.positionsArray = selectedNode.positions.position;
...A datagrid has its dataProvider is bound to
positionsArray.
...(I will only show one column defined here for brevity.)
...This column has its dataField property set to "POS_TITLE",
a field in the returned XML record:
<mx:DataGrid width="100%" variableRowHeight="true"
height="75%" id="dgPositions"
dataProvider="{positionsArray}" editable="false">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="25" headerText="Position Title"
dataField="POS_TITLE"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
In debug mode, I can examine the datagrid's dataProvider
property, and see that the correct XML data from the Tree control
is present. However, The datagrid does not display the data in any
of its 6 columns.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks for your time.

Hello again,
I came up with a method of populating the DataGrid from the
selected Item of a Tree Control which displays complex XML data and
XML attributes. After the user clicks on a Tree branch, I call this
function:
public function addTreePositionsToDG(event:Event):void{
//Retrieve all "position" nodes from tree.
//Loop thru each Position.
//Add Position data to the positionsArray Array Collection.
//The DataGrid dataprovider is bound to this array, and will
be updated.
positionsArray = new ArrayCollection();
var selectedNode:Object=event.target.selectedItem;//Contains
entire branch.
for each (var position:XML in
selectedNode.positions.position){
var posArray:Array = new Array();
posArray.PK_POSITIONID = position.@PK_POSITIONID;
posArray.FK_ORDERID = position.@FK_ORDERID;
posArray.POS_TITLE = position.@POS_TITLE;
posArray.NUM_YOUTH = position.@NUM_YOUTH;
posArray.AGE_1617 = position.@AGE_1617;
posArray.AGE_1821 = position.@AGE_1821;
posArray.HOURS_WK = position.@HOURS_WK;
posArray.WAGE_RANGE_FROM = position.@WAGE_RANGE_FROM;
posArray.WAGE_RANGE_TO = position.@WAGE_RANGE_TO;
posArray.JOB_DESCR = position.@JOB_DESCR;
posArray.DES_SKILLS = position.@DES_SKILLS;
positionsArray.addItem(posArray);
So, I just had to manually go through the selected Tree node,
copy each XML attribute into a simple Array, then ADD this Array to
an ArrayCollection being used as the DataProvider for the DataGrid.
It's not elegant, but it works and I don't have to use a Label
Function, which was getting way too complicated. I still think that
Flex should have an easier way of doing this. There probably is an
easier way, but the Flex documentation doesn't provide an easy path
to it.
I want to thank you, Tracy, for the all the help. I checked
out the examples you have at www.cflex.net and they are very
helpful. I bookmarked the site and will be using it as a resource
from now on.

How to Display XML data on a Window within my JDev App?

I want to display some XML data stored on the database (in a CLOB field) in such a way that the XML tags and values are colored/highlighted as if they were read in a browser like Internet Explorer.
Currently I am displaying the data using a JEditorPane field and the results are hard to read as the tags and values show on the same color and in plain text.
I want to dispay this within my application (9i), not going to an external browser; i.e. I want the window (panel) to act as a browser when displaying the data.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can use utl_http in the database to call the webservice and display the result in a form item.

Displaying XML data in dynamic text box

I'm attempting to display external XML data in a dynamic text box. When I test preview my code, the information that I want to display shows up in the Output window, so I know that its linked and works. My trouble is creating the code that will link to my (txtBox) and displaying when previewed. Please take a look at the files below if you have any time to offer suggestions.
Thank you!
Andy

That's not an error, it's just a warning and flash is suggesting that if you use appendText vs. +=, that your results may display faster
if you don't want to see the warning, you can take the suggestion and use:
txtBox.appendText(bldg.S11[i].SF.text());
txtBox.appendText(bldg.S11[i].Tenant.text());
txtBox.appendText(bldg.S11[i].Status.text());

Problem displaying XML data in XSL page

Hi There!
I'm having trouble when adding XML data from the schema (which shows up properly in the bindings panel) to the XSL page..
Following the step by step available here...
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822 510a94ae8d65-7a56a.html#ionCTAAnchor
After adding the XML item to the XSL file it ends up showing up as parent/client/name (no brackets) Instead of like the example above where it should display as {parent/client/name} and be highlighted. Also when previewing the XSL document it just shows 'parent/client/name' instead of the actuall XML content..
I believe the XML data source is properly attached because it shows up in the bindings panel.. But I don't know what else could be going wrong..
Any help would be great!

This is being enhanced to that the [...] button that appears in the data grid is available for all grid of data so that a popup with an extended area is shown.

You can try converting the blob object first to a string and then displaying it in the Output text field. You can refer to
How to Convert Blob to String ? Hi All,
for converting a blob to string. It many not be a very good idea if the size of the blob very large.

Using a datagrid to display XML data

Hello,
I'm binding xml to a datagrid but I'm having trouble displaying some of the data. Here's my example.
Here's my test data:
[Bindable]
private var test:XML =
<vm:validationMessages xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.location.com/2.0 http://schemas.com/2.0.0/valMessages.xsd" severity="ERROR" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:vm="http://www.location.com/2.0" xmlns:zucc="http://www.location.com/results/1.0">
<vm:validationMessage severity="ERROR" errorCode="ErrorType1" url="www.loc.com">
    <vm:messageDetail>Text I want to return</vm:messageDetail>
</vm:validationMessage>
</vm:validationMessages>
I've set the default namespace here:
public static const vm:Namespace = new Namespace("http://www.location.com/2.0");
default xml namespace = vm;
And here is the datagrid definition:
<mx:DataGrid x="10" y="30" width="738.5" height="189" id="dgValidation" dataProvider="{test.validationMessage}">
<mx:columns>
    <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Severity" dataField="@severity"/>
    <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Error Code" dataField="@errorCode"/>
    <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Url" dataField="@url"/>
    <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Description" dataField="messageDetail"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
The attributes "severity, errorCode, url" are being displayed correctly, however "messageDetail" will not display. I've tried several different ways of calling it with no luck. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

To solve this problem I had to use labelFunction. The working line was this:
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Description" labelFunction="dataGrid_labelFunc" dataField="messageDetail"/>
The function looks like this:
private function dataGrid_labelFunc(item:XML, col:DataGridColumn):String {
     var qN:QName = new QName(vm, col.dataField);
     return item[qN].text();

Receiving and displaying XML data via HTTPService

Hi folks. I am a pretty experienced database programmer, I
work with a software called Magic eDev, but I'm a complete newby in
Flex.
I am trying to use Flex 3 to create a web / client interface
for an application written in Magic eDev. I've made a very simple
Flex App to read an XML file generated by another application
written in the third party software (Magic eDev 9.4) via
HTTPService. I think I have the HTTPService request part figured
out, This little Application does not cause any errors in Flex.
However, I am not seeing my data in the display. If I manually try
the URL query to the Magic App, I do get the XML file with the data
in it, but Flex doesn't seem to see anything.
I just want to get two fields via the HTTPService data and
display them, but I'm not getting any result. I can't even tell if
Flex is actually querying Magic or not. Can anyone explain what I'm
doing wrong?
Also, is there some way to monitor what the Flex app is doing
when you run it, as you can in some other systems?
Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Do you want to view unparsed xml in the textarea? You have to replace at least the HTML entities < and > by & lt; and & gt;, so that they don't get parsed inside the HTML structure. Here is an overview of those entities: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp
You can use String#replaceAll() for this.

Advice on displaying XML Data

Hello everyone!
I am somewhat stuck on building a specific layout in AS3 with data coming from an XML file. And I really didn't expect any problems with layout in Flash.
A while ago I built a Flex banner, but due to performance and size issues I want to rebuild it in Flash/AS3.
This is my Flex banner:
http://www.plusclub.at/dateien/PlusclubKalenderBanner120x600.swf
My flash file is already parsing the XML and I have all the data I need available. But right now I only show it as text in a htmltext field.
After a long time of googeling around, it seems there is no way to achieve the layout with a "classic text" field. Can I do it with a TLF field? It does not look like it.
Can I do it with some displayContainer tricks maybe? I am pretty new to Actionscript, so I can only hope some of you experienced devs can help me with a few hints on this.
How would you build it? For every entry I basically need a two column header (left side a image, right side text. all fixed height) below that goes a textfield of "variable" height. And then below that the next entry block, and so on. Just like in the Flex banner.
I found some frameworks, but they all want height values for all of the layout parts. Since I have a variable text height for each entry, I cannot use these frameworks. And because of size constraints I don't really want to use any framework if I can avoid it.
Finally I need to build a scroll animation for the data area, which I probably could do with a textfield. I am unsure about any other type of fields or containers, I haven't researched that yet.
Any kind of help would be very appreciated!
Thank you!

Yes. You can access the .text property of a TLF text field.
There are 3 options but I'm not sure which one offers the most dynamic effects. I chose "Editable" out of the drop-down menu but you can feel free to experiment with "Read-Only" or "Selectable" also. My guess is that all 3 will work and that editable will allow the end user to change the text much like "Input Text" did with Classic text engine.
the syntax is:
myTLFtextField.text="Hello World";
where "myTLFtextField" is the instance name of the TLF text field that you give it on the stage or in AS3.0

XML data output in a custom grid table

Hi!
I was wondering if it is possible to display xml data output in a custom-made grid table? Important is the ability to

I am using the latest JDeveloper release.
Thanks!

Vertical XML Data Component?

Anyone know of a component that I can use to display XML data
in vertical columns, side by side for comparison without reworking
the XML - something like a spreadsheet layout or any comparison
tool you'd see on the web.

Try doing it more like this then:
<Repeater id="rp" dataProvider="{_xlc.getItemAt[0]}">
<HBox>
<Label text="{(rp.currentItem as XML).text()}" />
<Label text="{(_xlc.getItemAt[1].child(rp.currentIndex)

List Control and XML data

I am trying to display XML data from a HTTPReqeust in a list
control. Here's my mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" creationComplete="aircrafts.send()">
<mx:Script>

private function aircraftXMLHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
aircraftDp = event.result.aircraft;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="aircrafts"
url="
http://localhost:8080/flysafe/aircrafts"
result="aircraftXMLHandler(event)"
resultFormat="e4x"/>
<mx:List x="10" y="53"
dataProvider="{aircraftDp}"></mx:List>
</mx:Application>
The REST service returns the following XML document:
<aircrafts>
<aircraft id='0' label='Cessna' href='
http://localhost:8080/flysafe/aircrafts/0'/>
<aircraft id='1' label='Piper' href='
http://localhost:8080/flysafe/aircrafts/1'/>
</aircrafts>
The List control is empty. I cannot figure out how to get the
right connection between the data provider and the xml returned by
the HTTPRequest.

I figured it out. The data provider was set up correctly, but
I wasn't telling the listbox what to use for the label. Adding the
following attribute to the listbox fixed the problem.
labelField="@id"
