I need to extract the values from all of the columns : sheet_number, appl_number1, rating1, criteria1, appl_number2, rating2, criteria2. Validate the data and insert into oracle tables.
I'm having dificulties extrating the data from the "z:row" recordset
Can anyone help with the syntax ?
I'm use to extracting with tags using syntax like this
declare
v_xml_content XMLTYPE;
begin
v_xml_content := db_get_xml_from_file (p_file_name, p_directory, 'ISO-8859-1');
FOR f IN (SELECT value(x) file_data
FROM TABLE
(xmlsequence
(extract (v_xml_content,'/data'))) x) LOOP
SELECT extractvalue(f.file_data,'/data/row') into v_row from dual;                                                                      END LOOP;

Binding Xml file with Xsd Schema

Hello
everybody there.
I am trying to make an application where word files are converted into xml.
For that i have used org.exolab.castor and org.apache.poi.hwpf.
Now the problem is that i was able to generate the xml file from word, but when i am binding it with XMLSchema.xsd following error is coming.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: getSimpleType: the simple type 'formChoice' is not a built-in type as defined in XML Schema specification.

can anyone help me out. first i thought that XMLSchema.xsd which i have is not proper, but i downloaded it again from w3c.org,

What's the best way to create XML file with a schema from a database table?

Hi,
I want to create an XML file from a database table (which has over 600 columns) using XML schema (.xsd file). I want to know the best way to do this.
The output XML file is NOT a direct data dump from the DB table, there�re some logic around it, such as the XML file has some hierarchy with repeating tags.
I have done this using JAXB by creating Java classes form XML schema, but I don�t want to map 600 DB columns to these Java classes manually, and loop through the record set to create repeating tags.
I know there are few tools around now like MapForce (Altova), how do people do these now?
Thanks,
Chandi

Can you use a schema when we compose XML doc from Database tables?
Actually, I'm using SQL Server (sorry, wrong forum). But, I thought a Java tool would have a solution for me.

Why not use T-SQL for generating XML? You can use FOR XML for that

Problem validating XML file with external schema file

Hi All
I am having trouble at the moment trying to validate an xml file using an external xsd file that sits on my server. I have followed the basic option but at the moment to no avail. I am using a DOMParser and am setting all the features and properties correctly ... well I think I am anyway.....below is a fragment of the code
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser ();
// Setting the validation on for the parser.
parser.setFeature ( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true );
parser.setFeature ( "http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true);
parser.setProperty ( "http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/externalnoNamespaceSchemaLocation", "c://testing.xsd" );
parser.setErrorHandler ( this );
I am getting an error telling me that the root element cannot be found.....see below
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'mainhome'.

In the schema root element xs:schema add namespace declaration.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
In the XML document root element add xmlns:xsi and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes.

XML generation with SAP data using XML schema - Reg

Hello experts,
My requirement is , SAP( ztable data ) data has to be transferred to third party software folder.Third party using XML so they requires output from SAP in XML format.
For that third party software guys told me that they will give their own XML schema to me.I have to generate XML file with SAP data using their XML schema.
Generating XML file with their Schema should be underlined.
I studied that call transformation statement helps for this.
Even then i don't have clear idea about this topic.
Please brief me about how to use their XML schema to generate XML with my own sap data.
Thanks in advance experts.

This is a Java forum.
JavaScript is something entirely different than Java, even though the names are similar.

Can you use a schema when we compose XML doc from Database tables?
Actually, I'm using SQL Server (sorry, wrong forum). But, I thought a Java tool would have a solution for me.

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Hi,
you need to create three util class for that:-
XMLHandler
XMLParser
XMLBuilder
for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

Problem In Extracting xml file from Zip File

Hi,
In my application I am creating a zip file which contains some xml files. I am using Weblogic 8.1 for my application.
When I try to extract the xml file from the zip file it displays error and those xml files are not extracted from the zip file.
Otherwise on tomcat it works absolutely fine.
Is there any support issues of using the zip files with weblogic?
Please respond.
Thanks in Advance.

Friends
I resolved the problem
just to add the jars of
mail.jar and activation.jar in the client side.

Example of xml file with connection pool SAP

Hi Everyone
I need a .xml file with pool connection SAP to run on weblogic 8.1.
Where do I get it?
Thanks

Stefan
Whether your XML is stored using structured storage or not is determined by the way your initially register the schema, not by the way the XML is delivered into the database. Even when performing, for example, and INSERT using a CLOB value, this CLOB will be 'shredded' into the structured storage tables if you have created them appropriately. If not, it will be stored as a simple CLOB.

Count files in a dirctory using plsql

Hi ,
Currently i am using a shell script that counts the number of files in unix level directory that had xml files and load to the table as CLOB using the sql loader.
Now i want to use plsql l to count files and then load using insert the script.I am able to use insert statement but not have any idea to count files at unix level using plsql.
Please give me some ideas.
Thanks in Advance.

Neither does anyone else... <<LOL
I've found this one quite some time ago...
-- How to get a listing of files in a directory using PL/SQL has got to be one of the most
-- popular questions asked by Oracle developers. Prior to 10g, DIY solutions included the
-- sophisticated, using either Java (8i onwards) or External Procedures (8 onwards),
-- or the clunky (pipe servers and shell scripts from 7 onwards)
-- However in 10g there is a new procedure hidden away in the undocumented
-- DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE package. It's called searchfiles, which is a bit of a giveaway
-- and appears to have been introduced for the new backup features in 10g, as RMAN
-- now needs to know about files in the recovery destination.
-- Calling this procedure populates an in memory table called X$KRBMSFT, which
-- is one of those magic X$ tables, the only column which is of relevance to us
-- is FNAME_KRBMSFT which is the fully qualified path and file name.
-- This X$ table acts in a similar fashion to a global temporary table in that it's contents
-- can only be seen from the calling session. So two sessions can call searchfiles and each
-- can only see the results of their call (which is extremely useful).
-- The code sample below will only really run as SYS, due to the select from X$KRBMSFT, it's
-- just intended as a demo. The first two parameters in the call to searchfiles are
-- IN OUT so must be defined as variables, even though the second parameter is of no consequence
-- to us and should be left as NULL. Even though they are IN OUT, testing shows they don't
-- appear to change.
-- Updated 29/05/2007
-- The first parameter is the string to search for, in much the same format as you would pass
-- in a call to dir (Windows) or ls (Unix). However, on some platforms and versions
-- passing in a wildcard or anything other than a directory name will result in an empty X$KRBMSFT.
-- The trick here is to simply pass a valid OS directory name - the entire listing of that directories
-- contents will now appear in X$KRBMSFT, which can then be filtered using LIKE.
-- This procedure appears to raise no exceptions, passing an invalid search string, such
-- as a non-existant path or one with no permissions, simply results in an empty X$KRBMSFT.
-- However, if the database parameter db_recovery_file_dest is not set, you will get ORA-19801.
-- Interestingly, this procedure recursively searches sub directories found in the search string.
-- So passing a string of 'C:\windows' (for example) populates X$KRBMSFT with not only the files found
-- in that directory but all the files found in all directories beneath, such as C:\windows\system32.
-- As X$KRBMSFT is an in memory table, you have been warned! Calling this procedure on a directory
-- with thousands of sub directories and files has the potential to blow out memory
-- The way forward is to wrap this functionality in a package, perhaps using
-- directory objects instead and checking access priviliges, creating a view based on X$KRBMSFT,
-- maybe even allowing/disallowing subdirectory traversal and limiting memory usage search size.
-- I see another project coming, stay tuned for XUTL_FINDFILES!
-- This code has been tested and works as intended on Oracle 10104 EE.
-- Get this tip and others, along with useful PL/SQL utilities at
-- www.chrispoole.co.uk

How can I save a XML file with JAXP1.1?

Dear All.
I write a program to create XML file with DOM model, but I can't know how to save it? My environment is JAXP1.1 and JDK1.3.1,I has been required not use other XML parser toolkits,only JAXP1.1.
How can I do? thank you.
Many person give me a idea the com.sun.xml.tree.XmlDocument, but I can't find the class in API document or JAXP1.1's packages. why?
what is it? How can i use it?
thank you very much.

The way to save an XML Document is using a Transformer.
To have access to a transformer use the packages :
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
Then for saving your Document Object (named dXml) get a Transformer Object with the TransformerFactory Object :
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer();
Now you have got your Transformer Object, to save your Document Object use the method :
Document dXml = getMyDocument(); // this is your Document Object.
OutputStream osSave = getMySaveStream(); // this the OutputStream you need to save your Document.
try
t.transform(new DomSource(dXml), new StreamResult(new OutputStreamWriter(osSave)));
finally
osSave.close();
And your Document was now saved.
