Display xml elements

I can read in a file and display the XML elements of 1 tag
(book)but i cant do elements of many tags (all book tags)like this
input from file
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<books>
<book author="Mmark twain" title="huck finn" />
<book author="mark twain2" title="huck finn2" /> /cant
print out?
</books>
output and no 2nd line from above???
Mmark twain author
huck finn title
AS
var xRootNode:XMLNode =xmlData.firstChild ;
var xnBook:XMLNode =xRootNode.firstChild;
var attrib:Object =xnBook.attributes
for (var sattrib:String in attrib ) {
trace(attrib[sattrib]+ " " + sattrib); //only prints 1 line
of <book> tag and not 2
}

Its the nextSibling of nxBook or, you may want to do it via
an array:
var xRootNode:XMLNode =xmlData.firstChild ;
var xnBooks:XMLNode =xRootNode.childNodes;
for (var j=0;j<xnBooks.length;j++) {
var attrib:Object =xnBooks[j].attributes
for (var sattrib:String in attrib ) {
trace(attrib[sattrib]+ " " + sattrib);

Java XML-Reader (SAX)--How to read and display xml-element-data???

hello all,
i would like to display just some xml-data
Which methods in java should i use to select just one character-data of this (for example: "deu" from the element <Language> or the attribut "version" of the element <catalog>).
Here is the XML-document i want to parse and display it with System.out.print() :

You need to pass your filename String as a parameter to your functionality. It depends how you're currently set up though. We can't really see the top of your call so it's difficult to determine what you are calling and we don't really know from where you're calling either.
If you're running standalone, then on launch of the application, you can feed in a file name as an argument that you can read in in String args[] in the main function and pass down to your XML splitter.
If you're a method in a class that's part of a bigger pile, you can feed the file name as a String to the method from wherever you call from if it makes sense architecturally.
You might also want to pass down a File object if that makes sense in your current code (i.e. if you're using your file for other purposes prior to the split, to avoid recreating closing/opening for no reason).
Depends what you're trying to do. If I put together a piece like this, I would probably create an <yourcurrentrootpackage>.xml.splitter package.
Also, on a side note, you're problem isn't really reading and writing XML in java, but seems more to be making your functionality generic so that any XML file can be split with your code.

Carriage Returns and Tabs in XML element

I have a number of carriage returns and tabs within an xml element. When I take that element I would like it to transform to html in which I am then displaying within a JEditorPane. However, when I do this it is one long string. I have tried the xml:space="preserve" within that element and this still is not working.
Here is part of the xml with the carriage return line feeds. The element that I am talking about is called pseudocode. You can see it is displayed correctly below.
Design Document XML : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><design-doc><title-page><title>Testing Document</title><class-prepared-for>Lloyd</class-prepared-for><authors>Ben Garbers</authors><date-created>September 23, 2004</date-created></title-page><introduction text="This is the introduction.

if (player =null)
     NullPlayerException;
          if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))
               throw PlayerNameNotExistException;
          /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/
          i ? 1;
          while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {
               if (mPlayers.mPlayerName != playerName)
                    throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;
this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;</pseudocode>
However, when I do the transformation I get the following with the pseudocode:
/* Ensure that player name exist in the system*/if (player =null)     NullPlayerException;          if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))               throw PlayerNameNotExistException;          /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/          i ? 1;          while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {               if (mPlayers[i].mPlayerName != playerName)                    throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;}this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;
It looks like it adds some spaces but no carriage returns or line feeds.
My transformation code is the following:
     public ParseFile(String xmlString) {
          try {
          //Here we will load the correct style sheet for the message
          //that will be formatted.

          URL url = this.getClass().getResource(urlString);
          System.out.println("URL to style sheet = " + url.toString());
          String styleSheetName = url.getFile();
          System.out.println("Style sheet name : " + styleSheetName);
          InputStream styleSheetInputStream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(urlString);
          //We will than load our SAXParerFactory and parse the message.
          SAXParserFactory SPFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
          SPFactory.setValidating(true);
          SAXParser sp = SPFactory.newSAXParser();
          XMLReader sax2parser = sp.getXMLReader();
          //NO Validation done on for this because we do NOT have a DTD.
          sax2parser.setFeature(
               "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",
               false);

          //we create a character array of the length of the xml message String
          char[] messageCharacterArray =

          // we then put the xml string into the character array.
          messageCharacterArray = xmlString.toCharArray();
          // after this ew end up creating a CharArrayReader that will be used by the Sax
          // parser to parse the xml.
          CharArrayReader xmlCharArrayReader =
               new CharArrayReader(messageCharacterArray);
          // we put the xml character array within the Input Source which will then be parsed
          // by the Sax2 parser.
          InputSource in = new InputSource(xmlCharArrayReader);
          // Use a Transformer for outputting the message into our formatted xml using

          TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          tFactory.setURIResolver(new BasicURIResolver());
          StreamSource stylesource = new StreamSource(styleSheetInputStream);
          Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(stylesource);
//          transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");

//          transformer.setOutputProperties(properties);
          // We will use a ByteArrayOutputStream to put our transformed xml.
          ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          StreamResult result = new StreamResult(bos);
          SAXSource source = new SAXSource(in);
          transformer.transform(source, result);
          String s = bos.toString();
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
          //This will make sure the Version Line is not shown.
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(s));
          String line = "";
          while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    sb.append(line);
          bos.close();
          br.close();
          formattedXmlString = sb.toString();
          System.out.println("--------------------------------");
          System.out.println(formattedXmlString);
          System.out.println("--------------------------------");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
I have been searching and trying to figure this out forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bottom line is that I want carriage returns and tabs to work when transferring from the xml to xsl.

I get the following line when adding the <pre> tags.
/* Ensure that player name exist in the system*/if (player =null)     NullPlayerException;          if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))               throw PlayerNameNotExistException;          /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/          i ? 1;          while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {               if (mPlayers[i].mPlayerName != playerName)                    throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;}this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;
On the screen this is shown on 1 line. It looks like the tabs are working correctly. However, the carriage return, line feeds do not seem to be working. The xml that is pushed into the transformation has the carriage returns and line feeds and is formatted correctly. There has to be something happening when the xsl takes the xml String. When I add <BR></BR> within the xml that doesn't seem to work either.
I am really sumpted. If you could help DrClap I would really be appreciated.

How to display XML file that XI sent to my j2ee appl?

Hi,
In my scenario File->XI->J2EE appl.
I got XML page cannot be displayed.
XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:7001/Invoke/DisplayRes'.
I deployed my .ear file on BEA Weblogic application server9.0
I found no error when i tested in SXI_MONI and RWB->Message monitor as well.
This is my servlet code:
public class DisplayRes extends HttpServlet {
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
     doPost(request,response);
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
     BufferedReader brin =new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
     String inputLine;
     StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer();
     PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
     response.setContentType("text/xml");
     while ((inputLine = brin.readLine()) != null)
         sBuf.append(inputLine);
         //out.setContentType("text/xml");
         //out.println(sBuf.toString());
         out.write(sBuf.toString());
          brin.close();
         out.flush();
What went wrong.All helpful answers are highly rewarded.
Thanks

Hi
Can anyone tell me how XI sends messages to applications like J2EE. In REceiver comm channel, I think we specify about the target system like J2EE appl.
Aadapter Type: HTTP
               Receiver
Transport Protocol: HTTP1.0
Message Protocol:    XI payload in HTTP body
Adapter Engine:      Integration Server
Addressing Type:     URL address
Target host:         localhost
Service Number:      7001(Port number of Weblogic appl server--where my J2EE appl is deployed).
Path     : /Invoke/DisplayRes/
Authentication Type:Use Logon Data for SAP System
Content Type: text/xml
Username:   xiappluser
password:   xx
XML code:   UTF-8
I suppose XI sends msgs to http://localhost:7001/Invoke/DisplayRes/........
in this example if am correct?
Then I have given all tyhe necessary setting but my servlet is not able to display XML msg in browser?
This is my servlet code:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
     PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
     BufferedReader brin =new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
     String inputLine;
     StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer();
        response.setContentType("text/xml");
     while ((inputLine = brin.readLine()) != null)
         sBuf.append(inputLine);
         out.println("hi");
            out.println(sBuf.toString());
         brin.close();
         out.flush();
What went wrong?
Help me, all helpful answers are highly rewarded.

How to map more than one xml element with some Paragraph in a Text Frame

Hi friends,
I am new in InDesign Java Scripting and I have to place or map, more than one xml elements of different parents, into one textbox. Is it possible through JavaScript? Can anyone help me in this because I have no idea how it should work and it urgently required.
Thanks in Advance

I had answered to you already in your first post: the short answer is that it's not possible on the same text box unless you assign a common ancestor of these two "parents" item. That's not a question of scripting, it's the way Indesign handle the XML with the layout. Import a xml in Indesign and drop tags to page item. What you can do manually is quite representative of what can be done through scripting.
If you assign this anscestor to the text frame, you have to expect that all text child items will be displayed in the text frame (including the text of all the child of the two "parents" and all the other parents/childs that could be under the common ancestor). Having a XML that is designed for Indesign usage is pretty much inevitable if you are doing anything "serious".

Safari won't display XML content with an embedded stylesheet

I'm using Safari 5.0.2 on Windows XP. I cannot get it to display an XML document with an embedded CSS stylesheet. The file in question appears in this ZIP file: http://www.hl7.org/documentcenter/ballots/2011JAN/downloads/CDAR2IG_SDISP_R1_D12011JAN.zip
That document demonstrates is an attempt to enable display of standardized healthcare content in common web browsers. Can anyone here help?

I have a separate bug report to Chrome on this one, same general result in display. The file is an XML document, not a CSS style-sheet. It contains an xml-stylesheet processing instruction that has a local URI #hl7-css-for-cda pointing to an element in the XML that contains the CSS stylesheet. That element uses xml:id to identify itself, so it is (according to the W3C) possible for the browser to determine that element as being the target of the URI.
The problem appears to be that the Display Engine in Safari won't load the content of that URI as a CSS stylesheet.
When I validate the CSS content in that XML element it returns as being valid CSS, and when I validate the XML using my XML editor, it is both well formed, and valid against the XML Schema appropriate to that file.

XML Element of XML Element of XML Element (and so on...)

Here is my XML data (shorted, in a file myFile):
<LiveData>
<Voltage>
<Total>
<VoltageNow>1052</VoltageNow>
</Total>
</Voltage>
<Power>
<Total>
<PowerNow>345</PowerNow>
</Total>
</LiveData>
I would like to get the VoltageNow and PowerNow values, but the following script does not work:
tell application "System Events"
set elem1 to XML element 1 of XML file myFile /*<LiveData>
set power to XML elements of elem1 whose name is "Power"
set total to XML elements of power whose name is "Total"
set powernow to value of XML elements of total whose name is "PowerNow"
end tell
Error: System Events got an error: Can’t make {} into type string.
BTW, I don't want to use XML Element X because the order may change.
What is the correct method to traverse these elements to obtain values?

AppleScript can handle the strings, but the System Events XML Suite doesn't work with text strings - it deals with the XML objects, which have name and value properties. The handler can be modified to show the names of an element, but it is just designed to work with the XML Suite.
The contents of an XML file is just text, so you can forgo System Events and just use regular text manipulation statements, or use another tool such as the Satimage XMLLib osax, which is much more robust and does include commands to display the XML object as a string.
By the way, my original handler was designed and tested in Leopard, but I discovered a Snow Leopard bug that alters the way it returns array/list contents. The following script has changes that return the functionality, in addition to a dialog handler that will display lists:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">

XML element,if not including any attributes and/or child elements then

XML element in SQLX,if not including any attributes and/or child elements then the tag should not appear, how to achive this?
ex:Consider for <enumeration> tag where it is having some value.
<attribute>
<name>Ethernet Access</name>
<enumeration>
<StringValue>Bandwidth</StringValue>
</enumeration>
</attribute>
When <enumeration> tag is not have any Value in this, then output should be as follows.
<attribute>
<name>Ethernet Access</name>
</attribute>
But what i am getting is
<attribute>
<name>Ethernet Access</name>
</enumeration>
</attribute>
Please suggest me the solution for this.
I tried , but when xmlelement() is not having data it will display empty tag ie </enumeration>, If xmlforest() are null it wont show tag, But i have to use xmlelement only. how can that be achived using xmlelement .

Use a SQL case - when - else end construct to only execute the xmlelement if data is present. The SQL/XML standard is very clear, xmlElement will generate an empty element if no data is present. xmlforest will not.

How to refer ?XML element tag name? in the RTF variable

Hi All,
I want to declare variable and assign the value of XML element tag to that variable.
Following are the steps:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, MYCOUNT,1)?>
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, MYCOUNT)?>
<?if: xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, MYCOUNT) =1?>xxx<?end if?>
In the declaration part,I need to replace 1 with some of the xml element tag value(for example : <?vendor_name?>).
But when I try to do so,I get some list of exceptions.
Please suggest how to proceed.
Thanks and Regards,
Kaveri

Hi Pradeep,
Thanks for your response.Here my requirement goes:
for -each:
text(database value)
end for-each
This text value will continue from page 1 to N.
So for page1 I want HEADER1 and from page2 onwards,I require different header HEADR2.
By using your approach,my text which needs to be continued on different pages will not be acheived.
One more thing I got from XMLP User guide:
<xdofo:inline-total
display-condition="exceptfirst"
name="InvAmt">.
SInce all my tags are generated from Oracel reports,I am unable to use the above xml line.Is there any way to use this by modifying the syntax..
Please let me know your suggestions since this is show stopper for my report.
Thanks and Regards,
Kaveri

Dealing with optional XML elements

We have a template that will print certain tables based on whether or not an element is present in the incoming XML file.
I have no problem displaying these tables conditionally on XML elements that are always present (i.e. I can say <?if:element='Y'?>) but I'm running into problems when I need to display a table/field based on whether or not an element is present.
Also, when the element in question is not present, the template ignores my page break and prints the remainder of the document on the same page.
Can anyone recommend a way to accomplish the above?
Thanks.

You should use <?if:element = ''?> or <?if:element != ''?>
This should work also:
<?if:text(element)?> or <?if:not(text(element))?>
The condition is always true (false) when either the element is empty or does not
exist. Let me know, if you need to differentiate between both (probably using name() instead of text will work in this case).
If a pagebreak is inside the if statement than it is only shown when the condition is satisfied.
Hope that helps,
Klaus

Displaying XML Namespaces in JTextArea

Hi,
I want to add the Namespaces to a XML element in the below given way,
Please tell me how to do it....
<process name="meritprocess"
xmlns:lns="http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BpelSchema.xsd">
thanks....

How is it giving you trouble? There does not appear to be any JTextArea in the code you posted. Hint: use the code /code tags to make your code readable.
Just guessing: Change your System.out.println commands so that all of the output gets put into a single String, and return that String. Example:
String result = "Details for occupied rooms by name are: ";
for(int j = 0; j < aCount; j++)
result = result + "Customer name: " +rm[j].getCustomerName()
+" Room No." + rm[j].getRoomNumber()+ " Payee:"
+ rm[j].getPayeeName();
return result;Then use setText() method of JTextArea to display the String.

Display xml- tags with NULL - value

Hello
is there a way to display a tag while the value is null in this matter :
select
xmlforest(AFRAGNR_1, AFRAGNR_2 , AFRAGNR_3 ,AFRAGNR_4 )
AS XML
FROM VIEW_ABC WHERE x = v1 and y = v2
-- result: :AFRAGNR_3 and AFRAGNR_4 is null and not displayed:
XML
<AFRAGNR_1>J</AFRAGNR_1><AFRAGNR_2>J</AFRAGNR_2>
-- by using this, its not the result I want to get,
select
xmlelement( "AFRAGNR_1" , AFRAGNR_1 ) AFRAGNR_1
,xmlelement( "AFRAGNR_2" , AFRAGNR_2 ) AFRAGNR_2
,xmlelement( "AFRAGNR_3" , AFRAGNR_3 ) AFRAGNR_3
,xmlelement( "AFRAGNR_4" , AFRAGNR_4 ) AFRAGNR_4
FROM VIEW_ABC WHERE x = v1 and y = v2
another way ?
regards Norbert

I have the same problem:
- I need to generate XML in format <element id="1" />
- I need to pass some null values:
SELECT XMLElement ( "ShipToAddress"
, XMLAttributes ( customer_id as "CustomerNo"
, '' as "Code"
, substr(name,1,30) as "Name"
, '' as "Name2"
, substr(street||' '||house_nr,1,30) as "Address"
, '' as "Address2"
, city as "City"

, fax as "FaxNo"
, zip_cd||' '||postal_code_extention as "PostCode"
, '' as "County"
, email as "EMail"
, website as "HomePage")) customer
FROM customers;
result should be:
<ShipToAddress CustomerNo="100001004" Code="3" Name="4C
Cons" Name2="" Address="Metrologielaan" Address2="" City="BRUSSEL" Contact="" PhoneNo="" CountryCode="BE" FaxNo="" PostCode="1130" County="" EMail="" HomePage="" />
and NOT (this is my result at the moment):
<ShipToAddress CustomerNo="100001004" Code="3" Name="4C
Cons" Address="Metrologielaan" City="BRUSSEL" CountryCode="BE" PostCode="1130"></ShipToAddress>;
Can someone help me with this please?
