Error reading XML data into a DOM

Hi,
I'm trying to read a SVG file from a URI into a DOM like this:
String uri = "file://d:/mysvgfile.svg";
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document svgDoc = builder.parse(uri);
When I execute the code the following exception is thrown:
java.net.UnknownHostException: d
I can't figure out why the exception is thrown. I can create a File object from the URI so the file exists and can be accessed for sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Stefan

try this:
Document svgDoc = builder.parse("d:/mysvgfile.svg");

Error Loading XML Data into Template Builder

Hi,
I am using XMLP 5.6.2 with E-business Suite. I copied a seeded Oracle Apps report and changed the output from Text to XML. I executed the report and it generated XML Output. I saved the output file as an XML file using IE.
When I try to load the XML Data file in MS Word, I am getting:
'Error No :-1072896682: Invalid at the top level of the document.
Line No : 1
Position : 1
File Pos: 0
Source: Authentication failed
I never had this problem before using the older version of XMLP (I think it was 5.0).
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Steve

Try using "view source" within IE to get the XML in a text file (Notepad) and save it from there. Then it should load fine. When you save it directly from the browser window there is extra formatting that prevents it from being loaded in template builder.

Reading HTML data into a DOM

Hi,
I am looking to develop DOM by parsing HTML data. I do not know of how to parse html.
Could you please help ? Any tutorial, guide, assistance ?.
Thanks in advance.
THeo

the key question is whether the html is well formed, or not. If it is, then it's is simple to just parse with DOM, just like any other xml.
If it is not, you may have to use something like

Best method to load XML data into Oracle

Hi,
I have to load XML data into Oracle tables. I tried using different options and have run into a dead end in each of those. I do not have knowledge of java and hence have restricted myself to PL/SQL solutions. I tried the following options.
1. Using DBMS_XMLSave package : Expects the ROWSET and ROW tags. Connot change format of the incoming XML file (Gives error oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Start of root element expected).
2. Using the XMLPARSER and XMLDOM PL/SQL APIs : Works fine for small files. Run into memory problems for large files (Gives error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError). Have tried increasing the JAVA_POOL_SIZE but does not work. I am not sure whether I am changing the correct parameter.
I have read that the SAX API does not hog memory resources since it does not build the entire DOM tree structure. But the problem is that it does not have a PL/SQL implementation.
Can anyone PLEASE guide me in the right direction, as to the best way to achieve this through PL/SQL ??? I have not designed the tables so am flexible on using purely relational or object-relational design. Although would prefer to keep a purely relational design. (Had tried used object-relational for 1. and purely relational for 2. above)
The XML files are in the following format, (EXAMINEEs with single DEMOGRAPHIC and multiple TESTs)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root_Element>
<Examinee>
<MACode>A</MACode>
<TestingJID>TN</TestingJID>

Thanks for the help.

Please refer to the XSU(XML SQL Utility) or TransX Utility(for Multi-language Document) if you want to load data in XML format into database.
Both of them require special XML formats, please first refer to the following docs:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/xsu/xsu_userguide.html
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/transx/readme.html
You can use XSLT to transform your document to the required format.
If you document is large, you can use SAX method to insert data into database. But you need to write the code.
The following sample may be useful:

How to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column

how to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column.
xml data is coming from java front end
if we cannot use clob than what are the different options available

Are you facing any issue with my code?
String lateral size error will come when you try to insert the full xml in string format.
public static boolean writeCLOBData(String tableName, String id, String columnName, String strContents) throws DataAccessException{
boolean isUpdated = true;
Connection connection = null;
try {
connection = ConnectionManager.getConnection ();
//connection.setAutoCommit ( false );
PreparedStatement PREPARE_STATEMENT = null;
String sqlQuery = "UPDATE " + tableName + " SET " + columnName + " = ? WHERE ID =" + id;
PREPARE_STATEMENT = connection.prepareStatement ( sqlQuery );
// converting string to reader stream
Reader reader = new StringReader ( strContents );
PREPARE_STATEMENT.setClob ( 1, reader );
// return false after updating the clob data to DB
isUpdated = PREPARE_STATEMENT.execute ();
PREPARE_STATEMENT.close ();
} catch ( SQLException e ) {
e.printStackTrace ();
finally{
return isUpdated;
Try this JAVA code.

Using importdata to import xml data into dynamic PDF form

Hi again,
Me and my colleagues have a problem using the importData service to import some xml data into an empty PDF form (represented as an XFA input variable).
In the server log I get the error that Only XDP data is supported for XFA forms, however I only have the xml data and not the entire xdp available.
Is this really not possible to to (like importing xml data to a form is possible in the Designer when creating forms).
I hope the scenario is understandable
Sincerely

PS: During the various projects I am working on I keep running into problems...however I am totally new to LiveCycle so I consider this very informative learning steps and appreciate all your help :-)

Hi again, I have been experimenting a little with both the renderPDFForm and importData services. However I don't seem to be ble to make them work as I need them to. My scenario is simple, I have one (call it a template xdp/PDF form) and lots of data in xml files (around 1000), that I need to import into the template. Therefore I have set up a "Watched Folder" to take the xml as a document (I guess this is a requirement) and then I need either the renderPDF or importData services to import the xml data into the template. I would like to know how I should setup the services to make this work. When I try to use importdata I setup the following: PDF document: set to be the template i need to import the xml to) Input data: the document variable (an xml file) that is passed to the Watched Folder Data merged PDF: set to an out xfaform When I do this I get an Coercion error in the server log: 2007-11-15 13:27:05,324 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] stalling action-instance: 1506 with message: ALC-DSC-000-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCRuntimeException: Internal error. at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toDOMDocument(CoercionUtil.java:656) at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:878) at com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.CoercionUtil.toType(CoercionUtil.java:803) at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.coerceFrom(Abs tractDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:64) at com.adobe.workflow.datatype.runtime.support.AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.getNode (AbstractComplexDataTypeRuntimeHandler.java:47) at com.adobe.workflow.dom.VariableElement.setBoundValue(VariableElement.java:93) at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataValue(PATExecutionCo ntextImpl.java:729) at com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.PATExecutionContextImpl.setProcessDataWithExpression(PATEx ecutionContextImpl.java:335) at com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.service.SetValueService.execute(SetValueService.java:46) ...

Loading XML Data into Relational Table

Hello,
I receive an XML file generated from another tool (on Windows), I am trying to create a Linux shell script that will gather the needed XML file from my Linux database server, then have Oracle use this file to load the XML data into a relational table. This activity & data will be needed on an ongoing basis.
I have tried this two ways. First, I loaded the XML document into the database and tried to extract the data directly from the document, but that is not working. Now I want to try to read the data directly from the file on the server via select, however I am not getting any data returned. In the Select statement below, I am simply trying to query the data to see what is returned for my testing.
Create Table ci_results_table (transactionID Varchar2(100), //transactionID should be PrimaryKey but was getting NULL value errors during insert test, so removed PK
message Varchar2(200),
ci Varchar2(50),
processeddate xmltype,
status Varchar2(50),
sourcefile VarChar2(100));
select x.*
from XMLTable(
     'TSPLoadResults/Results'
     PASSING xmltype(bfilename('CMDB_DEVADHOCRESULTS_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
     COLUMNS
       transactionID Varchar2(100) PATH 'TransactionID',
       Result XMLType PATH 'Result',
       Message Varchar2(200) PATH 'Message',
       PrimaryKey Varchar2(50) PATH 'PrimaryKey',
       ProcessedDate date PATH 'ProcessedDate',
       Status Varchar2(50) PATH 'Status',
       SourceFile VarChar2(100) PATH 'SourceFileName'
   ) x
Eventually I will need to build on this to limit the data returned to those records where SourceFileName is like 'HPDS%' and insert what is returned in to the ci_results_table. Attached is a sample Results XML file I am trying to load, It is named "ResultsTransformedtoUnix" because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong. (The output file I send out has to be transformed to DOS format before the other application can read it). Original file (before Unix conversion) named in script is also attached.
Please help. Thank you!

Hi,
I see some wrong things in your query.
1) The obvious one, explaining why you're not getting any data : there's a typo in the XQuery expression, it's "Result" not "Results"
2) ProcessedDate cannot be extracted as a date (at least not directly) since it actually represents a timestamp, use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype and cast back to DATE in the SELECT clause
3) transactionID is an attribute, it must be accessed with '@' (or 'attribute::' axis)
4) If the file encoding is truly ISO-8859-1 as the prolog suggests, then do not use AL32UTF8 but the corresponding charset name : WE8ISO8859P1
Here's the working query :
select x.transactionID
     , x.Message
     , x.Primarykey
     , cast(x.ProcessedDate as date) ProcessDate
     , x.Status
     , x.SourceFile
from XMLTable(
       '/TSPLoadResults/Result'
       PASSING xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('WE8ISO8859P1'))
       COLUMNS
         transactionID Varchar2(100)            PATH '@transactionID',
         Message       Varchar2(200)            PATH 'Message',
         PrimaryKey    Varchar2(50)             PATH 'PrimaryKey',
         ProcessedDate timestamp with time zone PATH 'ProcessedDate',
         Status        Varchar2(50)             PATH 'Status',
         SourceFile    VarChar2(100)            PATH 'SourceFileName'
     ) x
Using this query directly over the file will only perform decently (for large files) on 11.2.0.4 and onwards.
On prior versions, first load the file in a (temporary) XMLType column with Binary XML storage and SELECT from there.
because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong.
This conversion shouldn't be necessary.

Load xml data into database

Hi,
I need to load the xml data into the relational tables. I was trying to use a DOM parser, but the thing is that i had to hard code the element node values to match the columns in the tables, and in later stage if there is change to the xml i have to change my program and recompile, i want a more flexible solution, where in i can parse the data and load into database without much changes. I do not know how to accomplish this. I have searched on this topic, but could not find a clear solution anywhere. Can anybody suggest a solution to this.
Thanks & regards.

For which database?
With the Oracle database an XML document may be stored in a database with the XML SQL (XSU) utility.
1. Create a table in the database with columns corresponding to the elements in the XML document.
2. With the XSU store the XML document. The attributes in the XML document do not get stored.
3. To store the attributes also, apply an XSLT to the XML document and convert the attributes to elements.

How to store XML data into Oracle Table

Inserting large xml data into xmltype

Hi all,
In my project I need to insert very large XML data into xmltype column.
My table:
CREATE TABLE TransDetailstblCLOB ( id number, data_xml XMLType) XmlType data_xml STORE AS CLOB;
I am using JDBC approach to insert values. It works fine for data less than 4000 bytes when using preparedStatement.setString(1, xmlData). As I have to insert large Xml data >4000 bytes I am now using preparedStatement.setClob() methods.
My code works fine for table which has column declared as CLOB expicitly. But for TransDetailstblCLOB where the column is declared as XMLTYPE and storage option as CLOB I am getting the error : "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column".
This error means that there is a mismatch between my setClob() and column. which means am I not storing in CLOB column.
I read in Oracle site that
When you create an XMLType column without any XML schema specification, a hidden CLOB column is automatically created to store the XML data. The XMLType column itself becomes a virtual column over this hidden CLOB column. It is not possible to directly access the CLOB column; however, you can set the storage characteristics for the column using the XMLType storage clause."
I dont understand its stated here that it is a hidden CLOB column then why not I use setClob()? It worked fine for pure CLOB column (another table) then Why is it giving such error for XMLTYPE table?
I am struck up with this since 3 days. Can anyone help me please?
My code snippet:
query = "INSERT INTO po_xml_tab VALUES (?,XMLType(?)) ";
 //query = "INSERT INTO test VALUES (?,?) ";
 // Get the statement Object
 pstmt =(OraclePreparedStatement) conn.prepareStatement(query);
 // pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query);
 //xmlData="test";
// If the temporary CLOB has not yet been created, create new
 temporaryClob = oracle.sql.CLOB.createTemporary(conn, true, CLOB.DURATION_SESSION);
 // Open the temporary CLOB in readwrite mode to enable writing
 temporaryClob.open(CLOB.MODE_READWRITE);
