Extracting attributes from XML document using plsql

Hello,
I have successfully written a plsql procedure that has been
using Xpath to extract the element values from an XML doument:
i.e.
l_xpath := '/Form_Data/Person_Details/Initials';
l_DomNodeList := xslprocessor.SelectNodes(l_RootNode, l_xpath);
l_DomNode := xmldom.item(l_DomNodeList,0); -- first Element
l_DomNode := xmldom.getfirstchild(l_DomNode);
l_id_number := xmldom.getNodeValue(l_DomNode);
However the data (Initials) I wish to extract is now stored as
attributes within the Person_Details element and I was wondering
how I would go about explicitly extracting the attributes values!
I have not been able to find any examples, although I have been
pointed in the direction of xmldom.getattribute without any
success!
Any help, or code examples greatly appreciated,
- Mark...

example:-
xpath.VALUEOF(i_doc,v_PricingPath||'@LockIndicator');

Could not retrieve attributes from XML document loaded in JDOM

Hi All,
I am having difficulty reading and parsing the following XML City.xml document using Saxon parser and XPath:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional/ /EN" "http://www. w3.org/TR/ xhtml1/DTD/ xhtml1-transitio nal.dtd">
<html xmlns="http: //www.w3. org/1999/ xhtml">
 <head>
 <meta http-equiv=" Content-Type" content="text/ html; charset=UTF- 8" />
 </head>
 <body>
 <div id="content">
 <table class="sresults">
 <tr>
 <td>
 <a href="http:/ /www.abc.com/areas" title=" Hollywood , CA "> hollywood </a>
 </td>
 <td>
 <a href="http:/ /www.abc.com/areas" title=" San Jose , CA "> san jose </a>
 </td>
 <td>
 <a href="http:/ /www.abc.com/areas" title=" San Francisco , CA "> san francisco </a>
 </td>
 <td>
 <a href="http:/ /www.abc.com/areas" title=" San Diego , CA "> San diego </a>
 </td>
 </tr>
 </body>
</html> Below is the code snippets that illustrates how I tried to retrieve the attribute title of <a>:
1. BufferedReader incomingbrXml = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:\City.xml"));
2. SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder(false);
3. Document jdomXmlDocument = saxBuilder.build(incomingbrXml);4. String city_content = null;
5. XPath cityXPath = XPath.newInstance("/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:table[@class='sresults']/ns:tr/ns:td/ns:a/@title");
6. java.util.List cityList = cityXPath.selectNodes(jdomXmlDocument);
7. Iterator city_iterator = cityList.iterator();
8. while (city_iterator.hasNext()) {
9. city_content = ((org.jdom.Attribute)city_iterator.next()).getValue();
10. if (city_content.length() != 0) {
11. System.out.println("Area Url:" + area_content.toString()); }
12. } I would like to get the following output:
Hollywood , CA
San Jose , CA
San Francisco , CA
San Diego , CA
Instead, the jdomXmlDocument is made up of only the first few lines of City.xml and nothing on the body when debugging in Netbeans and nothing in cityList. I am running this program online so there would not be an issue with entity resolver that took place on line 2.
I am running JDK 1.6.0_17, Netbeans 6.7, JDOM 1.1, Saxon9.1 on Windows XP platform.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jack.

Hi,
Correction to line 11 - System.out.println("City title:" + city_content.toString()); instead.
Thanks,
Jack

How do i query attributes from xml documents

I want to to query only details in Issue id="705230" (id is an attribute)
I tried this, but does not help. I should be able to query the value of core_org_id attribute
select extract(CLOB_DATA, 'PcrDocument/PcrOrganization/core_org_id) CORE_ORG_ID from from pcr_files where existsNode(CLOB_DATA, 'PcrDocument/PcrOrganization/Issues/Issue[@id="705230"]')=1;
-- does not return anything....
I tried to extract value for R_DATE & R_REVIEW_DATE for issue id=705230, but iam not able to.
Data for all the issues is retured.
Here is the query used...
select extract(CLOB_DATA, 'PcrDocument/PcrOrganization/Issues/Issue') ISSUE from pcr_files where existsNode(CLOB_DATA, 'PcrDocument/PcrOrganization/Issues/Issue[@id="705230"]')=1;
Here is the part of XML document iam querying on...

I did not include the name space declaration for it is working fine. Really? Then I suppose you must be using a schema-based XMLType column?
Is it Object-Relational or Binary XML storage?
You mentioned it is depricated in 11.2, but iam able to run it on 11.2.Deprecated doesn't mean it ceases functioning.
Any suggestions to covert this to XMLTable/XMLQuery format please..If you read the documentation, it covers this part too ;)
Example :
create table tmp_xml of xmltype;
insert into tmp_xml values(
xmltype('<ns1:PcrDocument id="PCR-13562" title="EU Disclosures - EC 1060/2009" version="1" pcrPublishDate="2012-01-11T12:49:02" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ns1="http://integration.mysite.com/ServiceSchema/v3">

Extracting Values from XML-Document in pl/sql

Hello!
I need to extract the content of the following extract:
<ns1:OXERPGetArticlesResponse xmlns:ns1="OXERPService">
<ns1:OXERPGetArticlesResult>
<ns1:OXERPType>
<ns1:aResult>
<ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:string>OXID</ns1:string>
<ns1:string>531f91d4ab8bfb24c4d04e473d246d0b</ns1:string>
</ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:string>OXARTNUM</ns1:string>
<ns1:string>0601-85-069</ns1:string>
</ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:string>OXPRICE</ns1:string>
<ns1:string>100.5</ns1:string>
</ns1:ArrayOfString>
</ns1:aResult>
<ns1:blResult>true</ns1:blResult>
<ns1:sMessage/>
</ns1:OXERPType>
<ns1:OXERPType>
<ns1:aResult>
<ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:string>OXID</ns1:string>
<ns1:string>531a8af7d9a9a5bb53b65a2b9a5356e5</ns1:string>
</ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:string>OXARTNUM</ns1:string>
<ns1:string>0601-85-069-1</ns1:string>
</ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:ArrayOfString>
<ns1:string>OXPRICE</ns1:string>
<ns1:string>89.9</ns1:string>
</ns1:ArrayOfString>
</ns1:aResult>
<ns1:blResult>true</ns1:blResult>
<ns1:sMessage/>
</ns1:OXERPType>
</ns1:OXERPGetArticlesResult>
</ns1:OXERPGetArticlesResponse>
The output should be:
OXID OXARTNUM OXPRICE
531f91d4ab8bfb24c4d04e473d246d0b 0601-85-069 100.5
531a8af7d9a9a5bb53b65a2b9a5356e5 0601-85-069-1 89.9
The count of rows and columns is variable.
I want to do this by using xmltype.extract but I found no way to create a loop over the content of the xml document.
Hopefully someone can help me!
Regards
Herbert

OK, then you should be able to use something like :

SQL> begin

8 <ns1:string>531f91d4ab8bfb24c4d04e473d246d0b</ns1:string>
9 </ns1:ArrayOfString>
10 <ns1:ArrayOfString>
11 <ns1:string>OXARTNUM</ns1:string>
12 <ns1:string>0601-85-069</ns1:string>

6 ligne(s) sélectionnée(s).You mentioned that the number of column(s) is not known in advance. That's gonna be a problem to present the data column-wise.
Version 11g has the PIVOT feature, but still you have to know how many columns there will be in the result set.
How are you going to use the data after extraction?
Maybe we could advise some other techniques more relevant for your requirement.

Loading/breaking large files containing multiple XML documents using plsql

Hi I have a requirement where in the client sends the multiple xml payloads/documents in a single text file. I need to load that into the xmltype varialbe. How to do this?
I'm able to load the entire document into a clob object, here.. all the xml payloads are loaded into a single row. When I try to access this I get a error
ORA-31001: Invalid resource handle or path name "/MobileInventoryResponse.dtd"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 254
ORA-06512: at line 1
This error is due to the dtd present in the xml document : <!DOCTYPE MobileInventoryResponse SYSTEM "MobileInventoryResponse.dtd">
But if I load the data into a clob after removing the doctype reference then I get the following error. Here to mulitple xml documents are loaded into a single clob row.
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00209: PI names starting with XML are reserved
Error at line 81
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 254
ORA-06512: at line 1
When try to access this by using select xmltype(x) from t
where x is column type of clob.
Please let me know any method or type loading the multiple xml documents by using plsql. Only plsql method. There is a way by using SAX Loader. But can it be used in plsql or its a java method of loading.
Regards,
Naveen

sorry for that...
There was enter character between some tags. From there I'm not receiving that particular error.
Now what I get is
ORA-31001: Invalid resource handle or path name "/MobileInventoryResponse.dtd"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 254
ORA-06512: at line 1
ORA-06512: at line 39
This is because there is a doctype at the start of the xml payload.
But if there is no <!DOCTYPE MobileInventoryResponse SYSTEM "MobileInventoryResponse.dtd"> this statement then it works fine.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE MobileInventoryResponse SYSTEM "MobileInventoryResponse.dtd">
<MobileInventoryResponse>
And this exercise I'm doing in my Windows xp loaded operating system with a local instance of oracle ... Do i need to do any other setting.
Along with that I followed your method mentioned @ Re: LPX-00209: PI names starting with XML are reserved
ignore:=dbms_xdb.createResource('/MobileInventoryResponse.dtd',bfilename('XML_DIR','MobileInventoryResponse.dtd'));
And I'm not getting how it will refer the this resource.
this above partilcular statement . should it be executed when ever we insert into the table ? But in the dtd there is no word saying "MobileInventoryResponse".
got this error.
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00104: Warning: element "MobileInventoryResponse" is not declared in the DTD

Extracting data from XML

Im fairly new to XML & web services so bear with me please.
Im trying to extract data from XML documents where the structure/element names are unknown.
The condition for extracting data is if keyword matches some data content.
Im using Java and the DOM API with xcerces and I've managed to parse the XML file, what I need to do next is to traverse the data content checking against keywords and if a keyword matches then to strip the tags and save the data locally ?
Ive trawled through all the documentaion but as theres so many different methods Im somewhat unsuare which is the best way to proceed.
thanks

tough question, i would suggest looking at jdom as solution for you, because it is a relatively simple one to use for searching through a dom. aside from that, its probably up to you what sort of logic you want to use.

How to extract the actual XML document from soap message?

My problem is " how to extract the actual XML document from soap message? "
i just want to extract the attachment i.e. (pure XML document without any soap header or envolope).
i could be ver thank full if u could solve my problem.
[email protected]

Hi,
This is some skeleton code for extracting an attachment from a SOAPMessage.
import javax.activation.DataHandler.;
import javax.xml.soap.*;
import javax.xml.message.*;
Iterator allAttachments = message.getAttachments();
AttachmentPart ap1 = null;
while(allAttachments.hasNext()){
ap1 = (AttachmentPart)allAttachments.next();
//Check that the attachment is correct one. By looking at its mime headers
//Convert the attachment part into its DOM representation:
if(ap1.getContentType() == "text/xml"){
//Use the activation dataHandler class to extract the content, then create a StreamSource from
//the content.
DataHandler attachmentContent = ap1.getDataHandler();
StreamSource attachmentStream = new StreamSource(attachmentContent.getInputStream());
DOMResult domAttachment = getDOMResult(attachmentStream);
domAttachment holds an xml representation of the attachment.
Hope this helps.

How to remove elements/attributes from XML using Xpath in XSLT ??

Hello ,
Is there anyway or method of Xpath from which I can delete the elements and attributes from XML at runtime ??
Like I have such XML and I have to remove per attribute highlighted below
<person per="and">
<e:emp a="ir" b="ad" >
</e:emp>
</person>
And want a result like this
<person>
<e:emp a="ir" b="ad" >
</e:emp>
</person>
Thanks

To achieve this you can use the bpelx:remove function: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12483_01/integrate.1013/b28981/manipdoc.htm#CIHJBJFD
your assign will look like:
<bpel:assign>
<bpelx:remove>
<target variable="person" query="/person/@per" />
</bpelx:remove>
</bpel:assign>

Error while loading an XML document using a structured application

Hi,
I try to load an XML document using a structured application defined in the default structapps.fm
My code is shown down, extracted from the FDK API code sample.
Problem, I always have the same message :
"Cannot find the file named e:\xml\AdobeFrameMaker10\file. Make sure that the file exists. "
Where "e:\xml\AdobeFrameMaker10\" is my install directory.
So I assume that frame try to find the structapps.fm file but does not find it.
What else can it be ?
Does anyone knowns how to achieve this simple task using extendScript ?
Thanks for any comments, Pierre
function openXMLFile(myLastFile) {
    var filename = myLastFile.openDlg("Choose XML file ...", "*.xml", false);
    if (filename != null) {
        /* Get default open properties. Return if it can’t be allocated. */
        var params = GetOpenDefaultParams();
        /* Set properties to open an XML document*/
        /*Specify XML as file type to open*/
        var i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_OpenAsType)
        params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_TYPE_XML;
        /* Specify the XML application to be used when opening the document.*/
        i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_StructuredOpenApplication)
        params[i].propVal.sval = "myApp";
        i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FileIsOldVersion)
        params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoOK
        i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FontNotFoundInDoc)
        params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoOK

        params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoCancel
        i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_AlertUserAboutFailure)
        params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoCancel
        /*The structapps.fm file containing the specified application must have
        already been read. The default structapps.fm file is read when FrameMaker is

        listed in the structapps.fm file.*/
        var retParm = new PropVals()
        var fileObj = Open(filename, params, retParm);
        return fileObj
    } else {
        return null;

Pierre,
Depending on the object "myLastFile", the method openDlg might not even exist (if the myLastFile object is not a File object, for instance). And I do not see any need for the myLastFile anyhow, as you are presenting a dialog to select a file to open. I recommend using the global ChooseFile( ) method instead. This will give you a filename as string in full path notation, or null when no file was selected in the dialog. I am not sure what your ExtendScript documentation states about the return value for ChooseFile, but if that differs from what I am telling you here, the documentation is wrong. So, if you replace the first lines of your code with the following it should work:
function openXMLFile ( ) {
    var filename = ChooseFile ( "Choose XML file ...", "", "*.xml", Constants.FV_ChooseSelect );
While writing this, I see that Russ has already given you the same advice. Use the symbolic constant value I indicated to use the ChooseFile dialog to select a single file (it can also be used to select a directory or open a file - but you want to control the opening process yourself). Note that this method allows you to set a start directory for the dialog (second parameter). The ESTK autocompletion also gives you a fifth parameter "helplink" which is undocumented and can safely be ignored.
Good luck

Extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml fil

hello,
i am searching extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file by a java program. I understood it is easy to extract data from a xml file, and how ever without creating another xml file. We want to insert the extracted data into another exiting xml file. Suggestions?
Regards,
Zhuozhi

If the files are small, you can load the target file in a DOM document, insert the data from the source file and persist the DOM.
If the files are large, you probably want to use a StAX or SAX.

RandomAccessFile? If you know where you want to insert it.Are you sure about this? If using this, the receiving file would have to have bytes inserted that exactly match the number of bytes replaced. I'm thinking that you'll likely have to stream through the second XML with a SAX parser and copy information (or insert new information) as you stream with an XML writer of some sort.
