Displaying XML documents in WebDynpro ABAP

Hi
I want to display XML documents in Web Dynpro. My requirement is that, in a Web Dynpro application(ABAP), On the click of a button, I generate an XML file, which I need to display.
I know that XML document can be created as a MIME object. But can this object be created on the fly? OR can the contents of this document be changed dynamically. If so, any pointers on how to create such a MIME object and proceed further?
OR
Can the browser be launched on the fly with the dynamically created XML content?
Thanks and Regards

Hi Wenonah,
see this little example which creates a xml file to download and open in the browser. Put it in an action handler method.
DATA lr_conv   TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_out_ce.
DATA lv_data   TYPE        string.
DATA lv_xfile TYPE        xstring.
lv_data = '<?xml version=1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> put your xml here'.
cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create( RECEIVING conv = lr_conv ).
lr_conv->convert( EXPORTING data   = lv_data
        IMPORTING buffer = lv_xfile ).
cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
                 EXPORTING
                     i_filename = 'test.xml'
                     i_content   = lv_xfile
                     i_mime_type = 'application/xml' ).
Hope it helps.

Displaying XML Document in new browser window

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.

Display RSS flows in WebDynpro ABAP

Hi,
I was surprised that my search in this topic on "RSS" did not return any result.
I need for a customer to develop a couple of WebDynpro ABAP screens (without any portal) and to display information coming from a RSS flow inside these WD4A screens.
Any idea how to achieve this, standard solution preferred or via custom coding?
Thanks
Yann

Your question isn't really Web Dynpro ABAP centric. The process to consume and parse the RSS is indepent of the use of classic dynpro, BSP, or Web Dynpro ABAP as the UI. You are probably just going to use the CL_HTTP_CLIENT class to make the HTTP call from ABAP and then parse the RSS with XML or an XSLT. Brian McKellar wrote a nice blog on this some time ago.
/people/brian.mckellar/blog/2004/06/25/bsp-programming-rss-httpclient-xml-xslt
He does his output in BSP, but that part can easily be adapted to Web Dynpro.

Create PMD (Clinical Document) Document from Webdynpro ABAP

Greetings everyone,
I have developed two PMD document category(Tcode :N2T6 ) for Clinical documents in SAP R/3 and somehow with the limitation of R/3 in terms of developing user friendly screens like Auto fill and image processing etc...,Users do not satisfy with it.So we are planning to develop in Webdynpro ABAP.But i am not sure how do we integrate the webdynpro development with IS-H PMD (clinical documents) documents ,also I am looking for BAPI's to create our customized parameterized documents.Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Vignesh

Hi Vignesh,
You are right that certain features, such as auto-completion, are not supported in the PMD toolset. But as most of the data captured in those documents have a high importance for treatment process, you need to elobarate whether such a feature has any impact on patient safety. Just a quick one - user types An ... and the system determines matching diagnoses such Anorexia or Angina. In case the user picks the wrong one by accident the patient safety is an issue.
Other features such as image management can be used. For that you need to use a PMD link module which does provide the image integration. Siemens will ship in the next release EhP6 such a link module for a third party imaging software. Beforehand the link module use with custom development.
In general Siemens has started a product redesign program named "Smart UI". It's major aim is to provide an up-to-date user interface for all major application within i.s.h.med. The very first application we plan to ship is a web-based electronical medical record.
In case you still want to develop your application, I'm sorry to say, but there are no BAPIs or Web services in the standard delivery. For changes to existing documents you can utilize the PMD API of generator version 2. But be aware that document creation is not supported by the API. You need to have a document. Also certain user exit developments may brake a change without having the GUI running. For instance a popup in the save routine will cause a dump if no SAP GUI is available.
Hope this help.

Display XML Document from CLOB Column on page

Hi,
I have been reading all the CLOB postings that I can find, but I still cannot get my page to do what I want.
I have a very simjple table:
MF_XML_DOCS (DOC_ID NUMBER, DOC_XML CLOB)
I can populate this table OK but I am having problems getting the cotent back out. I want a simple page that takes an ID Number and displays the XML Document for that ID (select doc_xml from mf_xml_docs where doc_id = :P1_DOC_ID). Everything I try either truncates the text (or errors) at 4000 or 32767 characters or reads the XML tags as tags and does not display them. I want a simple display of the XML Document (and I don't mind if it is in an 'updateable' field or not):
<Parent>
   <name>Dad</name>
   <Children>
      <Child>
         <name>Number 1 Son</name>
     </Child>
      <Child>
         <name>Number 2 Son</name>
     </Child>
   </children>
</Parent>But when I do something that works for large (32767+) documents all I see is 'Dad Number 1 Son Number 2 Son'.
Help!!
many thanks,
Martin

Have you tried simply outputting iusing the htp.p function? for example:
/* ... inside a PL/SQL region */
declare
   lclb_output clob;
begin
   select doc_xml into lclb_output from mf_xml_docs where doc_id = :P1_DOC_ID;
   htp.p(lclb_output); -- you may have to split this into chunks and loop through, depending on how big the clob is

How to display XML document

Hello All.
I am using Apex 3.0.1.x. I've uploaded an XML file into an XMLTYPE column in a table and am now trying to display this XML data in an Apex report region.
I saw a beautiful example of doing this in Denes Kubicek's wonderful demo app 31517, page 90. Here's the link to this page:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:90
I copied the procedure code he uses to display the XML into a package. Here's the code I'm using:
<pre>
PROCEDURE DISPLAY_XML (P_ID IN INTEGER)
AS
V_PROC VARCHAR2(100);
V_ERRMSG VARCHAR2(300);
V_MIME VARCHAR2 (48);
V_LENGTH NUMBER;
V_FILE_NAME VARCHAR2 (2000);
V_LOB_LOC BLOB;
XML_TO_BLOB_ERROR EXCEPTION;
BEGIN
V_PROC := 'ONLINE_MODEL_PKG.DISPLAY_XML_DEVICES';
V_ERRMSG := NULL;
SELECT DECODE(V('APP_USER'),NULL,'N','Y')
INTO V_HTML_FLAG
FROM DUAL;
BEGIN
SELECT X.MIME_TYPE,
PROC_FUNC_PACK.CLOB2BLOB(X.DEVICE_XML.GETCLOBVAL()),
X.DEVICE_FILENAME
INTO V_MIME,
V_LOB_LOC,
V_FILE_NAME
FROM XML_DOCS X
WHERE X.ID = P_ID;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
V_ERRMSG := SUBSTR('ERROR ('||V_PROC||'): DURING DISPLAY OF XML DATA: '||SQLERRM, 1, 300);
RAISE XML_TO_BLOB_ERROR;
END;
V_LENGTH := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH (V_LOB_LOC);
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER (NVL (V_MIME, 'application/octet'), FALSE);
-- SET THE SIZE SO THE BROWSER KNOWS HOW MUCH TO DOWNLOAD
HTP.P ('Content-length: ' || V_LENGTH);
-- THE FILENAME WILL BE USED BY THE BROWSER IF THE USERS DOES A SAVE AS
HTP.P ( 'Content-Disposition: filename="'
|| V_FILE_NAME
|| '"'
-- CLOSE THE HEADERS
OWA_UTIL.HTTP_HEADER_CLOSE;
-- DOWNLOAD THE BLOB
WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE (V_LOB_LOC);
EXCEPTION
WHEN XML_TO_BLOB_ERROR THEN
V_ERRMSG := PROC_FUNC_PACK.FORMAT_MSG(V_ERRMSG, V_HTML_FLAG);
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20010, V_ERRMSG);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
V_ERRMSG := SUBSTR('ERROR ('||V_PROC||'): '||SQLERRM, 1, 300);
V_ERRMSG := PROC_FUNC_PACK.FORMAT_MSG(V_ERRMSG, V_HTML_FLAG);
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20020, V_ERRMSG);
END DISPLAY_XML_DEVICES;
</pre>
I then invoke this packaged procedure in an iframe, just like what Denes is doing. I put the following code in my report region source field:
<pre>
DECLARE
v VARCHAR2 (500);
BEGIN
v :=
'SELECT '
|| '''<iframe src="#OWNER#.ONLINE_MODEL_PKG.DISPLAY_XML?p_id='
|| :p53_id
|| '"'
|| ' height="800" width="950"></iframe>'''
|| ' document_display'
|| ' FROM DUAL';
RETURN v;
END;
</pre>
When I run the report in Intenet Explorer (version 6.x), I get a strange security warning popup asking if I want to display unsecure items. When I click "Yes", the report region shows up with a "Could not find web page" error 404 inside the report region.
I then tried running the app in Fire Fox (version 2.0.0.15). This time I do not get any security warning, but the report region shows up with the message "Procedure Doesn't Exist".
Another page in my app calling other procedures in my package, and so, I know that Apex is "seeing" the package.
Does anyone know why I'm seeing these strange things? And, is there, perhaps, another way to display an XML document in an Apex page?
Thank you.
Elie

Hi Arthur,
I assume you are using EP6.0, below SP3.
The XML Forms can be displayed using standard SAP layouts only. There is a special type of servlet. This alongwith the CSS is applied when you click to display the "Show" form.
As far as I know, there is no other way to display as you want to. You can probably get more help by specifying the exact scenario.
Hope this helps you.

Sagar

Display xml documents - how to submit a feature request?

Safari is useless when it comes to render raw xml documents. You have to view the actual source to see the xml.
Is there an official way to submit a feature request for safari to apple? I would love to see something similar to what firefox does with xml. Safari is such a fast and nice browser, if it only could handle text/xml better...

As you said Safari simply shows all xml element content concatenated together. But no tags or attribute values. If the ContentType in the http header is set to text/xml Firefox shows an xml tree that you can nicely browse. I think IE5+ and Opera do that too. It is important to set the right content type though. Here is an example that shows nice in FF, but is unreadable in Safari:
http://ww3.bgbm.org/biocase/pywrapper.cgi?dsa=Herbar
Sure you can look at the source code, but the xml might not be pretty printed.

Display of messages in webdynpro ABAP views

Hi,
In a ABAP WD component I have 2 views, connected through a navigation link.
If in the first view, a message is displayed using the message manager, a message area is shown on the top of the view with the message in it.
If now I navigate to the other view, The message area is still being displayed without any message in it.
Perhaps the message log is not empty.I do not wish to display the message area when there are no new message is reported.
How do I go about it?
Regards,
Rahul
Message was edited by: Rahul Kumar

Hi Rahul,
The message area is still displayed, because the message is stored inside of the history. Without displaying the message area, the user won't be able to access the message history. There are plans to allow a developer to switch off the history though (being just plans, so no eta).
Best regards,

Displaying XML with JDeveloper

Using JDev 10.1.3 for an ADF + Struts application,
What is the smartest way of displaying XML documents, with different XML formats/structure, stored in a CLOB field of a database.
I have already .xslt stylesheets for each different type of XML file; I plan to have this .xslt files as other column in the database.
I would like to know how to incorporate this xslt on my project and specially how to use it when displaying the information XML/CLOB to the user?
Any samples, ideas, url, etcx will be welcome.
Thanks,
OM

i don't know if oracle has a product for this but they would have to plan one to embed in JDeveloper.
i'm using authentic from altova that permit you to define entry helpers based on a xml schema to edit a document and to render it in html, rtf or pdf. I think it is possible to embed it in a java or web application. The best way is to ask altova support. For sure other similar solutions exists also.
