Encoding XMLs stored in DB

I need to store XMLs files having content in all Asian and European languages without altering the charset encoding of the Oracle 9i database.
Also is there any way to index the XML files?
Thanks,
Ravi

This is an idea that almost everybody tries at some point or
another,
and most often gives up once the many limitations are
experienced. But
it can be done with the correct combination of the evaluate()
and/or
de() "delay evaluate" functions.
IIRC you would use something like
<cfoutput>#evalute(de(query.field))#<cfoutput>,
but I never remember for
sure.
P.S. This is different then cross-scripting. Cross-scripting
is all
about scripts that run in/on the client, primarily
JavaScript. This is
code that runs on the server and would be different, as long
as you
don't have a publicly accessible form that allows any old
user to input
the CFML that will be run into your database. That would be a
truly
horrible idea.

UTF8 encoded XML

Hi,
I am trying to parse following XML stored in the file c:\logs\utf8file2.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><firstname>yo\u00A5 \u2013ng</firstname>
expecting result in the console First Name : yo¥ –ng but I am getting the following result in the console

Could you please point out to my problem.Your problem is that your expectation is wrong.
That isn't how you do Unicode character escaping in an XML document. It is how you do Unicode character escaping in a Java string literal, but that has nothing to do with XML. So after you look up how to really do Unicode character escapes in XML, send the document back to whoever produced it and explain the problem to them.

[Forum FAQ] How do i use xml stored in database as dataset in SQL Server Reporting Services?

Introduction
There is a scenario that users want to create SSRS report, the xml used to retrieve data for the report is stored in table of database. Since the data source is not of XML type, when we create data source for the report, we could not select XML as Data Source
type. Is there a way that we can create a dataset that is based on data of XML type, and retrieve report data from the dataset?
Solution
In this article, I will demonstrate how to use xml stored in database as dataset in SSRS reports.
Supposing the original xml stored in database is like below:
<Customers>
<Customer ID="11">
<FirstName>Bobby</FirstName>
<LastName>Moore</LastName>
</Customer>
<Customer ID="20">
<FirstName>Crystal</FirstName>
<LastName>Hu</LastName>
</Customer>
</Customers>
Now we can create an SSRS report and use the data of xml type as dataset by following steps:
In database, create a stored procedure to retrieve the data for the report in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) with the following query:
CREATE PROCEDURE xml_report
AS
DECLARE @xmlDoc XML;
SELECT @xmlDoc = xmlVal FROM xmlTbl WHERE id=1;
SELECT T.c.value('(@ID)','int') AS ID,
T.c.value('(FirstName[1])','varchar(99)') AS firstName,
T.c.value('(LastName[1])','varchar(99)') AS lastName
FROM
@xmlDoc.nodes('/Customers/Customer') T(c)
GO
P.S. This is an example for a given structured XML, to retrieve node values from different structured XMLs, you can reference here.
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) OR SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). If this is the first time we have opened SQL Server Data Tools, click Business Intelligence
Settings for the default environment settings.
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
In the Project Types list, click Business Intelligence Projects.
In the Templates list, click Report Server Project.
In Name, type project name.
Click OK to create the project.
In Solution Explorer, right-click Reports, point to Add, and click New Item.
In the Add New Item dialog box, under Templates, click Report.
In Name, type report name and then click Add.
In the Report Data pane, right-click Data Sources and click Add Data Source.
For an embedded data source, verify that Embedded connection is selected. From the Type drop-down list, select a data source type; for example, Microsoft SQL Server or OLE DB. Type the connection string directly or click Edit to open the Connection Properties
dialog box and select Server name and database name from the drop down list.
For a shared data source, verify that Use shared data source reference is selected, then select a data source from the drop down list.
Right-click DataSets and click Add Dataset, type a name for the dataset or accept the default name, then check Use a dataset embedded in my report. Select the name of an existing Data source from drop down list. Set Query type to StoredProcedure, then select
xml_report from drop down list.
In the Toolbox, click Table, and then click on the design surface.
In the Report Data pane, expand the dataset we created above to display the fields.
Drag the fields from the dataset to the cells of the table.

I have near about 30 matrics. so I need a paging. I did every thing as per this post and it really works for me.
I have total four columns. On one page it should show three and the remaining one will be moved to next page.
Problem occurs when in my first row i have 3 columns and in next page if I have one columns then it show proper on first page but on second page also it gives me three columns insted of one. the first column data is exactly what I have but in remaining two
columns it shows some garbage data.
I have data like below.
Metric ColumnNo RowNo
1 1
1
2 2
1
3 3
1
4 1
2
so while grouping i have a row parent group on RowNo and Column group on ColumnNo.
can anyone please advice on this.

How to retreive images and xml stored in temporary internet files

hi all,
I am creating an air application that has to work in offline too.so i have decided to retrieve datas it from temporary internet files(is it a rightway or anyother way to do that if so pls suggest). I have an issues of retreiving images and xml stored in the temporary internet files of the user system ..can anybody help me and give solution for this..
regards,
Divya.

What software are you using to create the website? Perhaps there is some command you can implement on the website to force the entire file to be downloaded. If you use Dreamweaver, you might ask in that forum. If you make the link an ftp link rather than a http link, you might guarantee that the file will be downloaded in its entirety, but the download location will not necessarily be in a temp folder.

Not able to handle Special Character in Bpel using UTF-8 Encoded XML

I am using UTF-8 encoded xml for my application,but during conversion of XML from one source to other using simple BIOS java programme , i am not able to convert special characters like(Göblyös Tünde,Makaróni etc).All getting converted to (G�bly�s T�nde,Makar�ni etc).As a result data corruption occurred.Please let me know if any go across this issue.

Hi,
Possibly the data you receiving is not UTF-8... Have you check with the data provider?
Try with other encoding... like ISO-8859-1 for example...
oracle.soa.common.util.Base64Decoder.decode(zipname.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"));
Cheers,
Vlad

How to Encrypt XMLs stored in dbxml-2.2.13 (db-4.3.29)

Please anybody know how to encrypt (configure or programatically) XMLs stored in BDB XML database. If any body knows even a reference to a document that will be great help.
Thanks
Haroon.

DB XML has built in encryption support inherited from Berkeley DB. You should use the DbEnv::set_encrypt() method to enable it:

Exception while unmarshalling UTF-8 encoded XML String, using JAXB.

hi folks. First of all, thank you for contributing to my queries as of now.
Problem statement.
- This happens when i try to unmarshall a webservice response, which is nothing but a simple UTF-8 encoded XML string in an soap envelope.
- 0xae is the register character: ®.
- My next step was to ensure that my code works without this character. So I removed all occurances from my XML. It worked just fine...
- So what do you guys suggest me to get rid of this problem?
- Any suggestion will be treated as valuable resource.
- Is there some kind of encoding setting with jaxb ?

Parsing a UTF-8 encoded XML Blob object

Hi,
I am having a really strange problem, I am fetching a database BLOB object containing the XMLs and then parsing the XMLs. The XMLs are having some UTF-8 Encoded characters and when I am reading the XML from the BLOB, these characters lose their encoding, I had tried doing several things, but there is no means I am able to retain their UTF encoding. The characters causing real problem are mainly double qoutes, inverted commas, and apostrophe. I am attaching the piece of code below and you can see certain things I had ended up doing. What else can I try, I am using JAXP parser but I dont think that changing the parser may help because, here I am storing the XML file as I get from the database and on the very first stage it gets corrupted and I have to retain the UTF encoding. I tried to get the encoding info from the xml and it tells me cp1252 encoding, where did this come into picture and I couldn't try it retaining back to UTF -8
Here in the temp.xml itself gets corrupted. I had spend some 3 days on this issue. Help needed!!!
ResultSet rs = null;
    Statement stmt = null;
    Connection connection = null;
    InputStream inputStream = null;
    long cifElementId = -1;
    //Blob xmlData = null;
    BLOB xmlData=null;
    String xmlText = null;
    RubricBean rubricBean = null;
    ArrayList arrayBean = new ArrayList();
      rs = stmt.executeQuery(strQuery);
     // Iterate till result set has data
      while (rs.next()) {
        rubricBean = new RubricBean();
        cifElementId = rs.getLong("CIF_ELEMENT_ID");
                // get xml data which is in Blob format
        xmlData = (oracle.sql.BLOB)rs.getBlob("XML");
        // Read Input stream from blob data
         inputStream =(InputStream)xmlData.getBinaryStream();
        // Reading the inputstream of data into an array of bytes.
        byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)xmlData.length()];
         inputStream.read(bytes);
       // Get the String object from byte array
         xmlText = new String(bytes);
       // xmlText=new String(szTemp.getBytes("UTF-8"));
        //xmlText = convertToUTF(xmlText);
        File file = new File("C:\\temp.xml");
        file.createNewFile();
        // Write to temp file
        java.io.BufferedWriter out = new java.io.BufferedWriter(new java.io.FileWriter(file));
        out.write(xmlText);
        out.close();

What the code you posted is doing:
// Read Input stream from blob data
inputStream =(InputStream)xmlData.getBinaryStream();Here you have a stream containing binary octets which encode some text in UTF-8.
// Reading the inputstream of data into an
into an array of bytes.
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)xmlData.length()];
inputStream.read(bytes);Here you are reading between zero and xmlData.length() octets into a byte array. read(bytes[]) returns the number of bytes read, which may be less than the size of the array, and you don't check it.
xmlText = new String(bytes);Here you are creating a string with the data in the byte array, using the platform's default character encoding.
Since you mention cp1252, I'm guessing your platform is windows
// xmlText=new new String(szTemp.getBytes("UTF-8"));I don't know what szTemp is, but xmlText = new String(bytes, "UTF-8"); would create a string from the UTF-8 encoded characters; but you don't need to create a string here anyway.
//xmlText = convertToUTF(xmlText);
File file = new File("C:\\temp.xml");
file.createNewFile();
// Write to temp file
java.io.BufferedWriter out = new java.io.BufferedWriter(new java.io.FileWriter(file));This creates a Writer to write to the file using the platform's default character encoding, ie cp1252.
out.write(xmlText);This writes the string to out using cp1252.
So you have created a string treating UTF-8 as cp1252, then written that string to a file as cp1252, which is to be read as UTF-8. So it gets mis-decoded twice.
As the data is already UTF-8 encoded, and you want the output, just write the binary data to the output file without trying to convert it to a string and then back again:// not tested, as I don't have your Oracle classes
final InputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream((InputStream)xmlData.getBinaryStream());
final int length = xmlData.length();
final int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024;                  // these two can be
final byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];   // allocated outside the method
final OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
for (int count = 0; count < length; ) {
   final int bytesRead = inputStream.read(buffer, 0, Math.min(BUFFER_SIZE, (length - count));
   out.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
   count += bytesRead;

Parsing XML stored in CLOB (PL/SQL)

Hello,
I would like to parse XML document like the example below.
When it is stored in VARCHAR2 column, parsing works well.
When it is stored in CLOB column, I get error message:
"ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: Invalid char in text."
The <text> section contains valid characters of ISO-8859-2 encoding.
If <text> section contains only ASCII compatible characters, parsing works well.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
<body>
<text> ìèø}amizù </text>
</body>
Is it a bug? Or where is problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

I used such an example to parse several Varchar2 strings in a given DB session:
BEGIN
parser := xmlparser.newparser ;
xmlparser.parsebuffer(parser,xmlout) ;
domdoc := xmlparser.getDocument(parser) ;
xmlparser.FREEPARSER(parser) ;
parser.id := -1 ;
nodes := xslprocessor.selectNodes(
xmldom.makenode(domdoc),
'Positionen/Position') ;
for i in 1 .. xmldom.getLength(nodes) loop
node := xmldom.item(nodes,i-1) ;
-- do s/thing with the node
end loop ;
xmldom.freedocument(domdoc) ;
RETURN(komponenten) ;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
if parser.id <> -1 then xmlparser.freeparser(parser) ;
end if ;
if domdoc.id <> -1 then xmldom.freedocument(domdoc) ;
end if ;
RAISE ;
END ;
However, after about 2000 of nodes lists parsed, I get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException from XMLNodeCover. Obviously, I should release the nodes or the nodelist, but I have not found any procedure to do this.

Hi,
As you may be aware, LONG datatype is obsolete for quite some time now.
If you can you should really consider migrating it to CLOB, or in this specific case store XML data in an XMLType column.
In particular, we can't use XMLType constructor directly on a LONG.
Here's a simple PL/SQL solution though, provided the data is not larger than 32k :
SQL> create table test_long (xmldoc long);
Table created
SQL> insert into test_long values('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
2 <!DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM "label.dtd">
3 <labels _QUANTITY="1" _JOBNAME="LBL213685">
4 <label _FORMAT="XE_INSP_REQ_LBL.lwl">
5 <variable name= "L_DATE">04-JAN-2012</variable>
6 <variable name= "L_TIME">10:45:17</variable>
7 <variable name= "L_LPN">K01-4713BE</variable>
8 <variable name= "L_ITEM">XXXXWT88-002</variable>

JDev generated webservices encodes XML output from PL/SQL procedure

I have a PL/SQL packaged procedure which takes some input parameters and produces one output parameter. The output parameter is of type CLOB and after the procedure has run, it contains a big piece of XML data.
Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1, I've published this packaged procedure as a webservice. The generated webservice is fine and works, except for one tiny little issue: the XML that is taken from the output parameter is encoded.
Here is an example of the SOAP message that the webservice returns:

(I've manually added an extra space between the & and lt; or gt; to make sure a browser will not translate it into a < or >!)
The contents of the <ns0:obvglijstOut> element are filled with the output parameter from the PL/SQL package.
How can I change the generated webservice, so the output from the PL/SQL package is used as is instead of being encoded?

Update: I've tested a bit more by adding some output statements to the java code that JDeveloper generated. I'm now 100% sure the PL/SQL code gives the XML data correctly to the webservice.
At this moment my guess is that somewhere in the WSDL definition there is something that enables the encoding of the data. But I'm not sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Premiere CS3: How can you encode xml cue point data in the chapter section of a marker for FlashVid?

Hi there,
I'm a total newb to this forum, so hello adobe premiere community! I'm perplexed by Adobes documentation on Premiere (and I'm sure I'm not the first ) anyway on the live documents page below:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS9390BED7-9466-46ea-A0E A-3240F1AFC36C.html
it states that:
“The cue point data in the Chapter field of a sequence marker in Adobe Premiere Pro will be encoded as Flash XML. For the XML protocol required, see Flash Help.”
Which is great…except this information doesn’t exist seemingly in either the Premiere documentation or Flash either for that matter, but as I’m interested in working with the chapter/marker area in Premiere – should I really be told to go off and search the documentation for another application, probably not! What would have been useful would have been a code snippet saying you do it like this, but of course, that would make things too easy!
Basically, I understand that in After FX you can add Flash marker information specifically for interpretation when exporting to Flash Video (i.e. name, type and parameters etc) and it suggests that you can do the same above in Premiere CS3 using some kind of concatenated string in the chapter area…it just doesn’t tell you how anywhere seemingly – WHY ADOBE!
Currently when I export markers as cue points based on the advice in the page above, anything I put in the chapter section to force Premiere to create a cue point is converted to a string, which becomes the cue point ‘name’.
This cue point name is then automatically appended to the ‘time’ the marker was inserted at and is always encoded as type ‘navigation’, with no obvious means of adding ‘parameters’ into the equation.
So (finally) does anyone know if you can insert this information into the chapter area for correct interpretation by flash (i.e. thus allowing you to choose between either 'navigation' or 'event' types, and pass as many 'parameters' as you wish etc) or are you just limited to supplying a name, and it being automatically set to the navigation type with no parameters?
I’m sorry for this long essay but at least the issue is well defined for you to answer, honestly any help you can provide what so ever would really be most appreciated!
Best regards,
Kat
PS – I have utterly no knowledge of XML either just in case you were wondering – and my only interest in XML is getting this basic information encoded into the FLV file from Premiere Pro CS3! Please help, pretty please with daisy’s!!!

Hi dradeke,
Thanks for your reply, which is indeed useful as clearly Adobe have made this task easier and less obscure in CS4 by adding simple interface functionality, however I'm stuck with using CS3 for the moment. Its not majorly a problem as the video material in question can be exported uncompressed then setup with cue points using the Flash encoder as an alternative (i.e. or even After FX CS3 also) which both provide the same features as Premiere CS4 seemingly. It is just that it would be much easier to be able to drop in simple markers whilst working with Premiere CS3, as this is what we are going to be using primarily, I just wondered if anyone knew how to invoke this in CS3 - its possible you can't, the documentation is vague at best!
However I really appreciate your response and help, thanks

Reading UTF-8 Encoding xml file sqlserver

Hi ,
I am recieving a xml file from a third party vendor. it is encoded in UTF-8. while i am reading it i am getting the below error.
Msg 9420, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
XML parsing: line 30117390, character 33, illegal xml character
the characters causing the problem are like è,Ö,è.
My database default collation is ‘SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS’
I am using the below query to read the xmlfile.
declare @xml xml
SELECT
@xml= CAST(x AS XML)
FROM
OPENROWSET(BULK 'D:\sample.xml',SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
select
X.product.value('(ID/text())[1]', 'varchar(50)') as ID ,
X.product.value('(Name/text())[1]', 'varchar(50)') as Name
from
@xml.nodes('Students/Student') AS X(product)
how can i read the file successfully. any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This issue normally happens when the XML file is not in the correct format. To save in the correct format open the xml file and click save as. Choose the encoding option as "UTF-8".

Help Needed in Xml Stored Procedure

Hi , i am trying to write one sp which takes xml document as a parameter. I want to update/Insert the data in the xml based on some conditions. So i put the data from xml to a global TEMPORARY table. The i process this data and will update /Insert the data based on the output.
Right now i am unable to create global TEMPORARY table my stored procedure .When i compile the stored procedure , its showing the following error
Compilation errors for PROCEDURE SYSTEM.TESTXML
Error: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CREATE" when expecting one of the following:

I am attaching my sp below
create or replace procedure testxml
( xmlDoc IN clob )
is
updCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;
rows NUMBER;
begin
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE temp
( cdcalendar NUMBER,
cdperiod NUMBER,

updCtx := DBMS_XMLStore.newContext(temp)
rows := DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML(updCtx,xmlDoc);
DBMS_XMLStore.closeContext(updCtx);
if Not exists
(Select Distinct cd_calendar from Calendar_Period
Where cd_calendar = select Distinct cdcalendar from temp )
Then
Insert into calendar_period
cd_calendar,
cd_period,

select cdcalendar,
cdperiod,
cdsubperiod,

from temp ;
Else
Update calendar_period
Set cdp.cd_calendar = temp.cdcalendar ,
cdp.cd_period = temp.cdperiod,
cdp.cd_subperiod = temp.cdsubperiod ,
cdp.cd_gl_period = temp.cdglperiod,
cdp.dt_start_subperiod = temp.dtstartsubperiod ,
cdp.dt_end_subperiod = temp.dtendsubperiod
From
calendar_period cdp Inner Join temp
On
cdp.cd_calendar = temp.cdcalendar
cdp.cd_subperiod = temp.cdsubperiod
cdp.cd_period = temp.cdperiod ;
End if
end testxml;
Kindly guide me !!!!

Hi,
"CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE" is not a PL/SQL sommand; it is a SQL command. That explain the error message you're getting.
Normally, tables (including Global Temporary Tables) are created once for all, without using PL/SQL. After they are created, you can write PL/SQL code to populate and use them. This job doies not seem to be an exception.
In the rare event that you do need to create a table in PL/SQL, use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, which can do any SQL command from withiin PL/SQL.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is documented in the PL/SQL manual:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28370/dynamic.htm#sthref857

Message Mapping Problem with UTF-16LE Encoded XML

Hello,
we have the following scenario:
IDoc > BPM > HTTP Sync Call > BPM > IDoc
Resonse message of the HTTP call is a XML file with UTF-16LE processing instruction. This response should then be mapped to a SYSTAT IDoc. However the message mapping fails "...XML Parser: No data allowed here ...".
So obviously the XML is not considered as well-formed.
When taking a look at SXMB_MONI the following message appears: "Switch from current encoding to specific encoding not supported.....".
Strange thing however is if I save the response file as XML and use the same XML file in the test tab message mapping is executed successfully.
I also tried to use a Java Mapping to switch encodings before executing message mapping, but the error remains.
Could the problem be, that the codepage UTF-16LE is not installed on the PI system ? Any idea on that ?
Thank you!

Hi,
thank your for your answer.
This is what I have tried to achieve. I apply the java conversion mapping when receiving the response message - i tried to convert the response to UTF-16, UTF-8 but none of them has helped to solve the problem.
I guess that using adapter modules is not an option either as it would modify the request message, but not the response, right?
