Display XML forms in a single window-URGENT!!!!!!!

Hi,
I created a project with XML forms Builder. It is working but the thing is that now i just want to display all the forms in the same window. Means that when i want to edit a new item instead of a new window i want to work in the same browser.
Is that possible by configuring a resource renderer(NewsRenderer for example)?
Otherwise do u know another solution?
Please i need help.
I found a topic in the forum (thread below) https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=46122&messageID=466382
But i didn't understand all the points.
So if someone know something please answer.
Thx in advance.

Hi Robert,
I did as u said: I downloaded the file YOUR_PROJECT_NewsRenderListItem.xsl but i didn't find any _blank in the text. Let's say i have exactly the same problem than in the previous thread, i don't know where to add the URL and where to replace _blank.
I don't know where to find the method CreateXSLDocument(Detlev thread) and what is its interest?
Can u please explain where i can find "xinfo=window.open(url,'_blank',params)"? It should be (according to Detlev) in com.sapportals.wcm.app.xfbuilder.server.generator.xsldocs.CreateXSLDocument but i really don't know how to reach this address.
Thx a lot!!!

Hi,
I have a hyperlink on my page. When I click on it, it will open a new IE window and display xml document.
The new window is displaying some of the xml and at the end displaying the following:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
End element was missing the character '>'. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:28080/benchmark/faces/displayXMLDocu...
However, I cut and paste the xml String where I write it to the HTTPServletResponse to XMLSPY and it displays correctly.
Please let me know.

New to Graphics, trying to display array output in a single window

I am trying to figure out how to use the GUI components of JAVA.
What I am trying to do is take my packaged array output and list it in a single window. All that ever prints is last array data set. The last keeps overwritting the previous. How do I keep the previous data shown while listing the next in the array?

Lets pretend that your assignment was to manage a list of employees of a store, and that each employee is identified by their name, position, and hourly wage. If you created a program along the lines of your current product program, I picture you creating three separate ArrayLists (or arrays), one for each variable, something like this:
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MyEmployees1
 private ArrayList<String> names = new ArrayList<String>();
 private ArrayList<String> positions = new ArrayList<String>();
 private ArrayList<Double> hourlyWages = new ArrayList<Double>();
 public void add(String name, String position, double wage)
 names.add(name);
 positions.add( position);
 hourlyWages.add(wage);
 public void removed()
 // TODO: I am nervous about trying to manage this!
 //.......... more
}This program tries to manage three separate parallel arrays (arraylists actually). They are parallel because the 3rd item in the names list corresponds to the 3rd item in the positions list and also the hourlywages list. If I wanted to delete data, I'd have to be very careful to delete the correct item in all three lists. If I tried to sort one list, I'd have to sort the other two in exactly the same way. It is extremely easy to mess this sort of program up.
Now lets look at a different approach. Say we created a MyEmployee class that contains the employee's name, position, and wage, along with the appropriate constructors, getters, setters, toString method, etc... something like so:
import java.text.NumberFormat;
public class MyEmployee
 private String name;
 private String position;
 private double hourlyWage;
 public MyEmployee(String name, String position, double hourlyWage)
 this.name = name;
 this.position = position;
 this.hourlyWage = hourlyWage;
 public String getName()
 return name;
 public String getPosition()
 return position;
 public double getHourlyWage()
 return hourlyWage;
 public String toString()
 // don't worry about these methods here. They're just to make the output look nice
 NumberFormat currency = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
 return String.format("Name: %-15s Position: %-15s Wage: %s",
 name, position, currency.format(hourlyWage));
}Now I can create a MyEmployees2 class that holds a single list of MyEmployee objects, like so:
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MyEmployees2
 private ArrayList<MyEmployee> employeeList = new ArrayList<MyEmployee>();
 public boolean add(MyEmployee employee)
 return employeeList.add(employee);
 public boolean remove(MyEmployee employee)
 return employeeList.remove(employee);
 public void display()
 for (MyEmployee employee : employeeList)
 System.out.println(employee);
 public static void main(String[] args)
 MyEmployees2 empl2 = new MyEmployees2();
 empl2.add(new MyEmployee("John Smith", "Salesman", 20));
 empl2.add(new MyEmployee("Jane Smyth", "Salesman", 25));
 empl2.add(new MyEmployee("Fred Flinstone", "Janitor", 15));
 empl2.add(new MyEmployee("Barney Rubble", "Supervisor", 35));
 empl2.add(new MyEmployee("Mr. Spacely", "The Big Boss", 45));
 empl2.display();
}Now if I want to add an Employee, I only add to one list. Same if I want to remove, only one list, and of course, the same for sorting. It is much safer and easier to do things this way. Make sense?

Is there such a setting that in entire site opens the edit,display,new form in the modal windows?

Display forms in a single window

Hi,
I created a KM navigation Iview for editing news it is quite working well. But when i want to edit or to create a new item a new window is opened. It is better for the user to work in a single window. Is it possible to open the edit form without opening a new window? I think i have to configure a layout set for that but am not sure and which resource renderer or colection renderer shoul i use?
Thx in advance for your help!!!

MJ

Hi Robert,
I did as u said: I downloaded the file YOUR_PROJECT_NewsRenderListItem.xsl but i didn't find any _blank in the text. Let's say i have exactly the same problem than in the previous thread, i don't know where to add the URL and where to replace _blank.
I don't know where to find the method CreateXSLDocument(Detlev thread) and what is its interest?
Can u please explain where i can find "xinfo=window.open(url,'_blank',params)"? It should be (according to Detlev) in com.sapportals.wcm.app.xfbuilder.server.generator.xsldocs.CreateXSLDocument but i really don't know how to reach this address.

Display Xml forms

Hi.
I have next problem:
In my application, user can create xml documents by xml forms. This generated xml files are stored in the KM.
My application has another page in order to view/manage these documents.
Clicking on the Context Menu, it appears a menu with an option called Edit. If Edit is clicked, a popup is displayed with the document in "xml forms" format.
But if the link of the document is clicked, it is displayed a popup with the xml embedded, I mean document with the tag format,etc
Does it exist the posibility that the same behavour occurs? I want that when link is clicked, popup is displayed with the document in "xml forms" format.
Thanks in advance

The document which you have created is of type XML but not using XML form builder. Hence you will get only XML tag format. In order to get XML edit format, it needs to be associated with some edit form in one of the XML projects.
If you look into XML projects, you will find that there are style sheets been created for each of the forms i.e. edit, renderlist and show form.
What you can try is .. define an XML form project with the data you want to store and in your application try to create XML schema simillar to what the form builder would have produced. So when you click on edit, it will able to associate with XML forms project which you had created.

Xml forms not rendered in default layout set - urgent

Hi guys,
I've to display several properties and to provide the rating and feedback service in conjunction with xml forms because a "NewsRenderer" doesn't support the display of additional properties.
So I tried to use one of the default layout sets (e.g. "Consumer Explorer") but the xml forms are not rendered after selecting the "contentLink" (displays raw content of xml document). I'm looking quite a long for a command that opens and renders the xml forms in a new window - without any success...
Please help! TIA

Hiding some part of rendered XML form

Hi all,
is it possible to hide some part of displayed xml form? For example, I have XML form with texts in two languages (two schema nodes, one for each language). I would like to show only text in users language. Users language could be determined from UME or from personalization of iView.
Thank you very much for answers.

Hi Wassilios,

Multivalue checkbox in single field of datascheme of XML form

Hello everyone,
is there a way to provide the user a chance to select multiple values via checkboxes in an XML-form and write the values in a single field of the datascheme?
Currently only the first of the selected values ends up in the proper field, although several checkboxex are attached/connected.
Any ideas?
THX-Henning

I found another alternative solution.
Regarding to how to display the multivalue properties with the multi-valu check box in "Details":
1) Go to CM -> Global Services -> Property Metadata -> Properties
2) Go to the property that you want to display multivalue, for my case- "NewsType", set the "Property Renderer" parameter to "allowedvale_multivalued" (for sure you have to define the allowed values)
3) Go and check in "Details", it should show the multi-value property in check box group. Then you can "tick" and "untick" to change the values.

How to display system property in XML forms

Hi
We are using XML forms template for publishing news in KM. In the show form we got author field (a label in the form) which is mapped to system property createdby (PropertyReference = /Properties/default:createdby).But while displaying the form author is not getting populated. When I try to edit the form in XML forms builder in data model tab under properties node no property is visible. Nothing is shown up in properties even after reload option is selected from context menu of properties node.
I cheked by manually editing PropertyReference to some other property (e.g. modifiedby) but nothing is showing up.
Can you please suggest how the createdby system property can be shown in the xml form?
Thanks & Regards
Sudip

Hi Sudeep,
Please try to open the formbuilder in another machine and try to see the properties xml form design view.
You can even directly can create a lable in show form and add the property name along with the nama space name.
For default properties namspace is default.Create a lable UI element in show form and select the datasource property and add the property value in that.
With we can show file related system generated properties in show form.
