DOM Scripting - accessing XML CDATA values

HI Folks,
Not sure if this is the write forum, but I'm trying to use Javascript to output XML values onto my webpage, see below.
This works fine, but when I try and get he values in a CDATA tag, I get undefined or null.
Can anyone please tell me how to get CDATA content?
<script type="text/javascript"
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("news.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('title');
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
document.write(x[i].childNodes[0].data);
document.write("<br />");
</script>
XML
<items>
<item>
    <title>
      <![CDATA[text goes in here]]>
    </title>
</item>
</items>

I think you will have more success on a JavaScript forum.

Accessing XML node value

Hi,
Is there any method to get node value other than getTextContent() in org.w3c.dom.Node?
Here is my XML
<data>value<data>
Hoe can i get "value" using java?
Thanks
Shagil

The text "value" is a child node of element node "data". So, by following the tree structure of DOM, you'll get this text by asking for the node value of the (first) child node of the element.
Node data = ...;
if (data.hasChildNodes()) {
String text = data.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
// use text
}

How can I get scripting access to color values in the indexed Color Table?

Hey all,
I'm relatively new to Photoshop scripting, but I've just finished a script that helps my fiance with some very tedious tasks related to textile design.
The last issue that I'm having is that the image I start with is indexed and has a very specific Color Table pallete ( 2-12 colors max + black and white, so 14 max total, sometimes as few as 2 ). Part of my script, I create a number of color chips and fill them with black currently... What I'd like is to be able to get a count of the colors in the Color Table and put the actual color values as hex into an 1 dimension array, so that I fill those black chips I've made with the actual colors from the Color Table.
( I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm converting the image to RGB mode at some point in the script, and back to Indexed Exact ).
Can anyone please help me do this? Needs to be compatible with CS5 and CS6 ideally.
Thanks!!

Cheers for that, your code works but what had thrown me was that the collections appear to be empty - so I hadn't actually tried retrieving one, I just assumed I was looking in the wrong place.
So if I do this in my Immediate window:
App.Current.Resources.Count
0
Yet when I request it, I get one:
App.Current.Resources["TitleTextStyle"]
{Windows.UI.Xaml.Style}
     base {Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject}: {Windows.UI.Xaml.Style}
     BasedOn: {Windows.UI.Xaml.Style}
     IsSealed: false
     Setters: {Windows.UI.Xaml.SetterBaseCollection}
     TargetType: {Name = "TextBlock" FullName = "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.TextBlock"}
Looking at the resources object itself, I get similar apparently empty collections:
App.Current.Resources
{Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary}
     base {Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject}: {Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary}
     Count: 0
     IsReadOnly: false
     Keys: Count = 0
     MergedDictionaries: {Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject}
     Source: null
     ThemeDictionaries: {Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary}
     Values: Count = 0

Access custom variable value in web.xml context-param?

My requirement or need is to access a variable value either in a class in my Model project or a backing bean in my View project. For example, one variable I need to access is an application server I am integrating with - 'testserver' or 'productionserver' - I want to be able to configure this within an external file so that I do not have to re-compile my application to change the variable.
I was thinking about placing this variable in the web.xml <context-param> section as:
<context-param>
<param-name>servername</param-name>
<param-value>testserver</param-value>
</context-param>
I need to access this value within a class (not a servlet) on an Application Module service method, though if needed, I could access it from a backing bean and pass it to the service method (less desirable.) Is this a good approach and how do access this variable from within a Java class including any imports I need to do (code example)?
Thanks and Happy New Year!
Hopefully most everyone is out spending time with friends and family versus stuck trying to complete a project like me...

I found an example from SRDemo that provides what I was looking for:
String serverhostaddress =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getInitParameter("param-name-var-in-webxml");

Setting the XML tag value in Java script

Hi,
   I am trying to set a XML tag value in the initialize event of a text field.. The code works fine in FormCalc but I needed it to work in java script.
     FormCalc:
     $record.prospectApplication.typeName = "namedInsured";
     Java Script:
     xfa.record.prospectApplication.typeName = "namedInsured";
     The above JavaScript does not work. Can any one help on this?
Thanks
Srini

Hi Srini,
In JavaScript you don't get any default properties so you need to say;
xfa.record.prospectApplication.typeName.value = "namedInsured";
That is assign the value to the "value" property not the dataValue object.

Using Views to access XML Content

I was wondering if anyone can help me in these questions.
I created a view to access XML Content in the database for reports. My first question is I have 18 properties in the xml document but when I created the view I only retrieve one property information. What dO I need to change in my XPath query to get all the properties see script below
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW AHA_PMCO_BUILDINGS_VIEW
(BUILDINGID,NUMBEROFFLOORS, CONSTRUCTIONDATE,NAME, BUILDINGTYPE, DEMODISPODATE,MODSTARTDATE,MODENDDATE, ISANNEX) as
select extractValue(value(p),'/Building/@Id'),
     extractValue(value(p),'/Building/@NumberOfFloors'),
     extractValue(value(p),'/Building/@ConstructionDate'),
     extractValue(value(p),'/Building/@Name'),
     extractValue(value(p),'/Building/@BuildingType'),
     extractValue(value(p),'/Building/@DemolitionDispositionDate'),
     extractValue(value(p),'/Building/@ModernizationStartDate'),
     extractValue(value(p),'/Building/@ModernizationEndDate'),
     extractValue(value(p),'/Building/@IsAnnex')
from "Pmco438_TAB" X, TABLE(xmlsequence (extract(value(X), '/Pmco/Properties[1]/Property[1]/Buildings/Building')) ) p;
How do I change my script to retrieve multiple properties instead of just one property
Thanks
Dibor

Hi Paul
I have access to all the documents (JavaScript via Mozilla, Adobe JavaScript API, XFA API etc etc) but none are specific enough to cater for this issue. I will work this out before too long but it would be very useful if someone who had done this already could shortcut my journey!
Thanks

Accessing XML files through java

Can any one explain me the easiest way of accessing XML files from Java.

Hi,
If you want to only access the XML file, use the SAX parser It will be very easy to handle and identify the element and value.
else if u want to change the XML value also, then better go with DOM, Which has very good flexiblity.
use according to the need, let me know if any help is required......

After a little digging and a couple cups of coffee, I managed
to pull some data extracting from xml into a datagrid. I can access
attributes, node values, etc...
One thing I did notice, is that you have to refresh the
application if you have dynamic data constantly being updated. So
here is some code to help some of you out:
First some sample XML (index.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<records>
<active name="John" id="1234" location="New York">
<job>Architect</job>
<address>111 Salisbury Rd</address>
</active>
<inactive name="Chris" id="5432" location="California">
<job>Web Designer</job>
<address>888 Orchard Rd</address>
</inactive>
</records>
Code with two tabs one name (
Active), other named (
Inactive):
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" xmlns:local="*" pageTitle="Test App"
creationComplete="srv.send()">

<mx:XMLListCollection id="xActive"
source="{srv.lastResult.active}" />
<mx:XMLListCollection id="xInActive"
source="{srv.lastResult.inactive}" />
<mx:script>
<[[

How to access XML elements by name in Extendscript??

I'm almost done the script that I've been working on, but something has been nagging me since I started. When I did start, I looked at the JS Tools Guide CS5 that comes with the extendscript ide to check how to access XML elements, children, attributes etc. It says this:
The XML object represents an XML element node in an XML tree. The topmost XML object for an XML file
represents the root node. It acts as a list, which contains additional XML objects for each element. These in
turn contain XML objects for their own member elements, and so on.
The child elements of an element tree are available as properties of the XML object for the parent. The
name of the property corresponds to the name of the element. Each property contains an array of XML
objects, each of which represents one element of the named type.
So basically it converts the XML into JSON. And you can access the properties like so:
<book category="COOKING">
     <title lang="en">The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook</title>
     <author>Fannie Merrit Farmer</author>
     <year>1896</year>
     <price>49.99</price>
</book>
The Javascript statement bookstoreXML.book; returns the entire list of books.
The statement bookstoreXML.book[0]; returns the XML object for the first book.
The statement bookstoreXML.book[0].author; returns all authors of the first book.
A couple pages down it talks about Retrieving contained elements using children(), elements(), descendants().
So now I look through the XML Object properties and I see that I can use:
xmlObj.child (which) which A String, the element name, or a Number, a 0-based index into this node’s child array.
or
xmlObj.descendants ([name])
name Optional. A String, the element name to match. If not provided, matches all
elements.
or
xmlObj.elements (name);
name Optional. A String, the element name to match. If not provided, matches all
elements.
This is an excerpt of an XML I was working with:
<ROW xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult"
     MODID="16"
     RECORDID="11128">
   <Sign_Type>251.dr</Sign_Type>
   <fm:Location xmlns:fm="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult" xmlns="">5-5024</fm:Location>
   <Line1>Zone

R522 - R446 even
Xavier Elevators

R537 - 5757 odd

Zone</Line1>
</ROW>
Extendscript will not give me an anything when I try to access elements by name. Instead I have to access by index, which works, but I'd rather search for names!
Actually the console log returns: <![CDATA[]]>
What am I doing wrong!?

First, those E4X XML objects are definitely no JSON (plain data) - they have a multitude of methods, even for tasks that would easily be implemented as property (e.g. the length() function), and they also bind xml element and attribute names onto the objects, allowing to target a multitude of XML nodes with a single statement. Or did you mean your script with that "it"?
Anyway, as you found out the ExtendScript XML object handles namespaces mostly by hiding them from you.
You could play around with global namespace settings, see the JavaScript tools guide.
You could also explicitly specify a namespace. This works for me:
$.writeln(myXML["fm:Location"]);
For simple use I had most success with a brute force approach that just strips the namespaces.
function removeAllNamespace(xml)
          var ns =new Namespace();
          var d=xml.descendants();
          for (var i=0;i<d.length();i++)
    d[i].setNamespace(ns);

How can I access xml document from javascript whithin a JSP page

how can I access xml document from javascript whithin a JSP page?
I have a JSP that receives an XML document from a JavaBean, so I can access it within the entire JSP, but I need to access it from the javascript inside the JSP... and I have no idea how i can do this.
Thanks in advance!

The solution would only work on MS IE browsers, as other browsers do not support an XML DOM.
It can be done, but you would be stuck with using the Microsoft broswer. If that is acceptable, I have some example code, and a book recommendation.

Problem: Storing binary data in Xml Cdata section

The objective : Tranport image using xml
1. I convert the image to input stream.
2. store it in an array.
3. encode the string using Base64 library and get a string
4.then i store it in xml CDATA section.
the code snippet is
public class ImgToXml01 {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
          File inputFile = new File("C:\\Arup\\ImgXml\\read\\Sample.jpg");
          FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
          String str="";
          int c;
          while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
          str+= ""+c;
          String val = util.Base64.encode(str);
          System.out.println(""+val);
          OutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("img.xml");
          OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(fout);
          out.write("<?xml version = \"1.0\" encoding = \"ISO-8859-1\"?>\r\n");
          out.write("<Image>\r\n");
          out.write("[CDATA["+val+"]]");
          //out.write("]]>");
          out.write("</image>\r\n");
          out.close();
When i retrieve it i write the code:

          File outputFile = new File("Sample.jpg");
          FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
          byte[] buff = data1.getBytes();
          InputStream inn = new ByteArrayInputStream(buff);
          int c;
          System.out.println(buff.length);
          while ((c = inn.read()) != -1) {
          out.write(c);

String str="";

while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
str+= ""+c;
}Your problem is here.
Let's suppose you just have a trivial 3-byte file containing the bytes 27, 55, and 126. Your program will convert that into the string "2755126". Then you base-64 encode it, etc etc, then you base-64 decode it and (hopefully) produce the same string "2755126". Converting this string to bytes and writing it to a file produces a 7-byte file containing the bytes 50, 55, 53, 53, 49, 50, and 54. Not the same at all. You could prove this to yourself by putting in some debugging statements.
I don't know how to suggest a fix because it looks to me as if your base-64 utility takes a String as its input. It should take an array of bytes, or an InputStream.

How to solve this error. I have searched in SDN but i am unable to get the solution.

Hi Kiran,
I have given all permissions to the control file. But these control files are in different places /SAPINST/UNIX/SUNOS_64/PATCOL640/WEBAS630 and ORA, DB2, DB6, IND, INF, ADA in these folders i can c the Control.xml files. But i have given all read write and execute permissions but still its getting the same error. I have downloaded the same IM for 3 times and tried.. But the result is the same.
Is there any other way of work around for this...
Thanks

Access XML attributes

How can I access XML attributes in LiveCycle using JavaScript and XPath.
I've tried using:
mynodesFormData.item(i).Name.attributes.getNamedItem("someattr");
Thanks,
Issa

I figured it out.
I was simply able to use:
mynodesCRFormData.item(i).Name.englishName.value
mynodesFormData.item(i).Name.attribName.value;
where attribName is the name of the attribute and Name the name of the element.
Thanks,
Issa

Script fails when passing values from pl/sql to unix variable

Script fails when passing values from pl/sql to unix variable
Dear All,
I am Automating STATSPACK reporting by modifying the sprepins.sql script.
Using DBMS_JOB I take the snap of the database and at the end of the day the cron job creates the statspack report and emails it to me.
I am storing the snapshot ids in the database and when running the report picking up the recent ids(begin snap and end snap).
From the sprepins.sql script
variable bid number;
variable eid number;
begin
select begin_snap into :bid from db_snap;
select end_snap into :eid from db_snap;
end;
This fails with the following error:
DB Name DB Id Instance Inst Num Release Cluster Host
RDMDEVL 3576140228 RDMDEVL 1 9.2.0.4.0 NO ibm-rdm
:ela := ;

But when I change the select statements below the report runs successfully.
variable bid number;
variable eid number;
begin
select '46' into :bid from db_snap;
select '47' into :eid from db_snap;
end;
Even changing the select statements to:
select TO_CHAR(begin_snap) into :bid from db_snap;
select TO_CHAR(end_snap) into :eid from db_snap;
Does not help.
Please Help.
TIA,

Hi,
could it be the begin_ and end_ Colums of your query?
Seems SQL*PLUS hs parsing problems?
try to fetch another column from that table
and see if the error raises again.

How can I access the Attribute Values from the Search Region

Hi all,
I have a table which contains Company id, department id, and PositonId. For a particular Company and Department there may be multiple records.
I have to pupulate a table which contains the position and other details that comes under a particular Department and Position based on the selection in the Three comboBoxes.
Also I have to populate a select many Shuttle to add new postions and records under a particular Department.
I created a query panel *(Search Region)* for the serch and a table to display the data. That is working fine.
Now the issue is I am using a view criteria to populate the shuttle with two bind variables ie, DepartmentId and CompanyId.
If the serach will return a resuktant set in the table it will also pupulate the correct records, otherwise ie, if the if the serch result is empty the corresponding iterator and the attribute is setting as null.
SO I want to access the attribute values from the Search Region itsef to populate the shuttle.
I don't know how can I access the data from the Search Region.
Please Help.
Regards,
Ranjith

you could access the parameters entered in search region by the user as follows:
You can get handle to the value entered by the user using queryListener method in af:query.
You can intercept the values entered as described
public void onQueryList(QueryEvent queryEvent) {
// The generated QueryListener replaced by this method
//#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}
QueryDescriptor qdes = queryEvent.getDescriptor();
//get the name of the QueryCriteria
System.out.println("NAME "+qdes.getName());
List<Criterion> searchList = qdes.getConjunctionCriterion().getCriterionList();
for ( Criterion c : searchList) {
if (c instanceof AttributeCriterion ) {
AttributeCriterion a = (AttributeCriterion) c;
a.getValues();
for ( Object o : a.getValues()){
System.out.println(o.toString());
//call default Query Event
invokeQueryEventMethodExpression("#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}",queryEvent);
public void onQueryTable(QueryEvent queryEvent) {
// The generated QueryListener replaced by this method
//#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}
QueryDescriptor qdes = queryEvent.getDescriptor();
//get the name of the QueryCriteria
System.out.println("NAME "+qdes.getName());
invokeQueryEventMethodExpression("#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}",queryEvent);
private void invokeQueryEventMethodExpression(String expression, QueryEvent queryEvent){
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ELContext elctx = fctx.getELContext();
ExpressionFactory efactory = fctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
MethodExpression me = efactory.createMethodExpression(elctx,expression, Object.class, new Class[]{QueryEvent.class});
me.invoke(elctx, new Object[]{queryEvent});
