Flash loads XML variables from cache memory...

Hi everyone. This is a very important issue. I have been in
many many forums looking for this answer and no one fulfills my
expectations. As I said on title... I have created a small
application that edits my XML file in server. It really works,
because I open manually my file and it's perfectly modified...
however, everytime I refresh my page it loads the ancient XML
variables because they come from cache...
I also could find out that this problem is mainly happening
with IExplorer, not with Mozilla Firefox.... however, I need it to
run on IE too... but can not find a real solution.. I have been
told to add random numbers to the XMl file extenskion, and other
things like that, honestly... they do not work... please... does
anybody have the light on this issue ??? I will appreciate your
answers...
Thanks in advance,

Did you try appending a URL variable.
xmlRequest.xml.load("theData.xml?cacheKiller=" + new
Date().getTime();

Load XML file from addon domain without cross-domain Policy file

Hello.
Assuming that there are two addon domains on the same server: /public_html/domain1.com      and      /public_html/domain2.com
I try to load XML file from domain2.com into domain1.com without using cross-domain policy file (since it doesn’t work on xml files in my case).
So the idea is to use php file in order to load XML and read it back to flash.
I’ve found an interesting scripts that seems to do the job but unfortunately I can't get it to work. In my opinion there is somewhere problem with AS3 part. Please take a look.
Here are the AS3/PHP scripts:
AS3 (.swf in www.domain1.com):
// location of the xml that you would like to load, full http address
var xmlLoc:String = "http://www.domain2.com/MyFile.xml";
// location of the php xml grabber file, in relation to the .swf
var phpLoc:String = "loadXML.php";
var xml:XML;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(phpLoc+"?location="+escape(xmlLoc) );
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoaded);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOErrorHandler);
loader.load(request);
function onIOErrorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
    trace("There was an error with the xml file "+e);
function onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void {
    trace("the rss feed has been loaded");
    xml = new XML(loader.data);
    // set to string, since it is passed back from php as an object
    xml = XML(xml.toString());
    xml_txt.text = xml;
PHP (loadXML.php in www.domain1.com):
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$location = "";
if(isset($_GET["location"])) {
    $location = $_GET["location"];
    $location = urldecode($location);
$xml_string = getData($location);
// pass the url encoded vars back to Flash
echo $xml_string;
//cURLs a URL and returns it
function getData($query) {
    // create curl resource
    $ch = curl_init();
    // cURL url
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query);
    //Set some necessary params for using CURL
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   //Execute the curl function, and decode the returned JSON data
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    return $result;
    // close curl resource to free up system resources
    curl_close($ch);
?>

I think you might be right about permissions/settings on the server for php. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to adjust them.
So I wrote my own script - this time I used file path instead of http address of the XML file. It works fine in my case.
Here it is:
XML file on domain2.com:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/1.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/1.jpg" file_name= "1"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/2.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/2.jpg" file_name= "2"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/3.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/3.jpg" file_name= "3"> </image>
</gallery>
swf on domain1.com:
var imagesXML:XML;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MyPHPfile.php");
varURL.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varURL.data = variables;
var MyLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
MyLoader.dataFormat =URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
MyLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, XMLDone);
MyLoader.load(varURL);
function XMLDone(event:Event):void {
    var imported_XML:Object = event.target.data.imported_XML;
    imagesXML = new XML(imported_XML);
   MyTextfield_1.text = imagesXML;
   MyTextfield_2.text = imagesXML.image[0].attribute("thumbPath"); // sample reference to attribute "thumbPath" of the first element
php file on domain1.com:
<?php
$xml_file = simplexml_load_file('../../domain2.com/galleries/gallery_1/MyXMLfile.xml'); // directory to XML file on the same server
$imported_XML = $xml_file->asXML();
print "imported_XML=" . $imported_XML;
?>
Regards
PS: for those who read the above discussion: the first and the second script work but you must test which one is better in your situation. The first script will also work between two domains on different servers. No cross domain policy file needed.

A fix for the Mozilla Firefox SSL Certificate Validation Security Weakness vulnerability? This appears to be an issue with not revalidating certificates when loading HTTPS pages from cache.

We have to close vulnerabilities for PCI & Cybertrust certification. We have upgraded users running Firefox to version 7.0.1 but we are still receiving the message: Mozilla Firefox SSL Certificate Validation Security Weakness. Researching the issue, it appears to be related to certificates not being revalidated when loading HTTPS pages from cache. The bug report I found is:
Bug 660749 - Firefox doesn't (re)validate certificates when loading a HTTPS page from the cache

cookies.squite answer is Today at 5:15 PM .
New profile, same problem.
We've already established it is not a add-ons problem but obviously there will be less add-ons in this new profile to help exclude.
Since there is two PC profiles on the PC, I tried the second profile, same problem. Used the RESET FF function on the second PC profile...same thing...even followed the instruct for uninstall &re-install...same problem.
(3) different virus scanners, no hard core problems.
Suspect how I have something in Windows setup that no one else is using?

Can I load xml file from SWC without using @embed

I'm developing a mobile application in which I need to load xml files from File.applicationDirectory. This works great if the xml files are part of the main application swf. But I would like to move these xml files into a SWC so they could be shared across multiple applications.
Using FlashBuilder 4.5, when a SWC is built, I can specify files to embed in the library that are not assets (Assets Tab of Flex Library Build Path). For various design reasons, I do NOT want to embed the xml files via @embed.
When the swc is built and I open it up using a zip utility, I see the xml files in there just fine. So they are being bundled with the SWC. But how can I load these files in my main application that does not involve using @embed? When the main application is built, the swc setting for link type is "merged into code".
I wouldn't expect the application to automatically pull out the xml files from the swc and place them in the File.applicationDirectory on the mobile device. I've tried loading from there just in case but file.exists is false (as expected).
I've searched the web (and continue to do so) and all the answers seem to be to use @embed. Is there another way?
Randy

It's actually a lot easier than you think.
Just reference the file like any'ol URL using a path relative to the SWC's src directory.
So if you include the file "assets/xml/some.xml", just use that same string like you would any remote resource.
For example:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("assets/xml/some.xml"));
I believe it would also work like this "/assets/xml/some.xml", but I prefer relative paths so the link doesnt break if moved out of the SWC...

Creating new analysis gives "Error loading XML Document from ..."

Trying to create analysis and getting "Error loading XML Document from saw.dll/answers/answersproperties.xml?fmapId=S1clug.
The response given was:" after choosing subject area. Analysis editor is opened but Subject Areas is empty and can't do anything.
The problem is on Mozilla 12 (16.0.2, 17.0.1) and IE 8. Chrome works fine.
My system is Win 7, BI 11.1.1.6.0 is on Oracle Linux (and by the way Mozilla from Linux system works fine)
What could be the reason of this?

Reinstalling Mozilla with "Remove personal data" option checked resolved the problem.

Error loading XML Document from /analytics/saw.dll/common/privileges.xml

I tested my procedure for upgrading from OBI 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6 which was successful. I had to rollback to OBI 11.1.1.5 using my database backup and VM snapshot due to project requirements.
The OBI application successfully comes up but users who login just get "Error loading XML Document from /analytics/saw.dll/common/privileges.xml?fmapID=KqIJCw. The response given was: ". They can't close this message box so are unable to do anything.
How can I fix this?

Hi All,
You can face this issue with other versions of OBIEE 11.*
Problem cab be solved as follows:
Go to http://localhost:7001/em > coreapplication > Capacity Management > Scalibility >
1. Lock and edit
2 .increase number of presentation services to 2
3. restart opmn component.
Go to coreapplication > Availibility > processes
1 .please note that in deployment > catalog > change path of catalog field from $coreapplication to path where your catalog resides.
2. Take down your primary instance.
3. As your secondary is up, it will grant you to browse you through catalog and dashboards.
If you want to run primary instance of presentation services
Go to path \Middleware\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips2
except catalog and catalog manager > Copy all other files to coreapplication_obips1
restart opmn component > problem solved.!!!

Loading XML files from URL

Hi.
My PL/SQL procedure loading xml files from oracle logical directory ("c:\temp") and inserting values into columns of the table. I use XSU with procedure:
create or replace procedure insProc(xmlDoc IN CLOB, tableName IN VARCHAR2) is
insCtx DBMS_XMLSave.ctxType;
rows number;
begin
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSave.newContext(tableName); -- get the context handle
rows := DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML(insCtx,xmlDoc); -- this inserts the document
DBMS_XMLSave.closeContext(insCtx); -- this closes the handle
end;
For translate xml document to CLOB, I use :
CREATE OR REPLACE function getdocument(
p_directory in varchar2,
p_filename in varchar2)
return clob
is
l_bfile bfile;
l_clob clob;
begin
l_bfile := bfilename(p_directory, p_filename);
dbms_lob.open(l_bfile);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.session);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(l_clob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength(l_bfile));
dbms_lob.close(l_bfile);
return l_clob;
end getdocument;
I didn't have problem with this procedures. But now i want load my xml files from another computer (i want use URL, not oracle logical directory).
How can i do it, using standart PL/SQL methods?

Since you are parsing the XML what prevents you from delaying your requests for the image URL's? You can just as well add the image URL's to some kind of collection and load them after you have processed all the text content.

Load xml document from CLOB

I'm try to load xml document from CLOB in following way:
--- procedure loadXML.sql -----
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE loadXML
IS
CONTENT CLOB := ' ';
SOURCE bfile := BFILENAME('XMLFILES', 'N_95_A.xml');
begin
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(SOURCE, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
DBMS_LOB.loadFromFile(CONTENT, SOURCE, DBMS_LOB.getLength(SOURCE));
DBMS_LOB.fileClose(SOURCE);
insert into OFERTY (OFDOCUMENT)
values (sys.XMLtype.createXML(CONTENT));
commit;
end;
and I get
SQL> @e:\myxml\loadXML
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00210: expected '<' instead of '<'
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
ORA-06512: at line 8
What is wrong?

Have you tried simply outputting iusing the htp.p function? for example:
/* ... inside a PL/SQL region */
declare
   lclb_output clob;
begin
   select doc_xml into lclb_output from mf_xml_docs where doc_id = :P1_DOC_ID;
   htp.p(lclb_output); -- you may have to split this into chunks and loop through, depending on how big the clob is
end;

Flash won't load xml generated from coldfusion

I have a swf file that used to load in xml files. It worked
perfectly fine. However, I then realized it would make more sense
to have the flash load a cfm file that creates xml on the fly.
My cfm page is creating perfectly fine xml but the flash
won't load it. WHY!?
Here is the path to my xml...
http://www.flyfishingcommunity.com/newsite/widgets/reports/pictures_widget_fly_fishing.cfm
In my flash file I load the cfm the way I used to load the
xml and its not working.

Why can't Workbench handle a 2MB XML variable from invoke?

I have an SQL query that returns about 2.3 MB XML variable. That works fine but if I set that variable to be an output variable and invoke the process from Workbench I get an InvocationTargetException from org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFaultBuilder.createFault (see below). I'm running Workbench ES2 9.5 as a Java plugin in Eclipse Indigo (32-bit) on a Windows 7 64-bit system with 8 GB memory. The same problem occurs on a Windows XP SP3 system with 4GB memory.
There are no error messages in server.log at all, just the usual SqlHelper message displaying the SQL statement that was executed. This appears to be strictly a Workbench phenomenon. The server seems to be able to merge the data with a PDF just fine also.
Here's my eclipse.ini file settings:

I don't quite follow what you are recommending but this is really a nuisance. We can record the process and the play back works just fine, all the way to the end. There's a post to this forum that only shows up on Google Groups that points to the Apache Axis SOAPFaultBuilder source code (the first line of the 'Caused by' stack trace). The only place I can find that class in my setup (32-bit Eclipse Indigo with LC Workbench plugin) is in eclipese\.metadata\.plugins\org.apache.axis_1.4.0.v201005080400\lib\axis.jar. So I'll replace that with a newer version and see what happens.

Load XML file from different location?

Hi All,
I've been going through an exercise by Karl Matthews to load XML data into an AIR App:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/xml_viewer_on_air.html
but I would like to change where the XML file used in the project is retrieved from.
Currently the XML file is loaded from here:

<mx:HTTPService id="srcData" url="
assets/UserGuide.xml" result="loadModelData(event)"
/>
but I would like to load the XML file from one of these locations instead:
File.userDirectory:
File.documentsDirectory:
Can someone please show me how I should change the above code to accomplish this, as my efforts to date have not been successful :-(
I am using Flex Builder 3 and Air 1.5.
Thanks heaps!

Loading XML file from classpath...

Hello all.
Can anyone help me with loading an XML file from the classpath?
The XML I need to load looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<QueueDispatcher>
<QueueConfigEntry>
    <DataSource>
      <TableName><![CDATA[WPOrder]]></TableName>
    </DataSource>
    <DataSink>
      <JMSQueueName><![CDATA[OTL_WPORDER]]></JMSQueueName>
    </DataSink>
</QueueConfigEntry>
</QueueDispatcher>I'm trying to load the file with the following code:
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
InputStream input = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/QueueDispatcherConfig.xml");
StreamSource streamSource = new StreamSource(input);
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(streamSource);
....All I get at the moment is an exception:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: stylesheet requires attribute: version
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

What are you doing wrong? You're using a Transformer, which expects to be given an XSLT document. If you want to make a DOM from that then you should use a DocumentBuilder, or you could use a SAXParser if you just want to extract the data from the XML file as you read it.

Flash & Coldfusion: retrieving variables from Coldfusion

How to load a variable from an XML file?

I need to use an XML file so I can update one variable every
once in a while.
Let's say I want to load Variable "foofie" into a flash
movie, and the XML says that "foofie" is 11.
What code do I put in my flash file to read what 'var foofie'
is from an XML, and what do I put in the XML so I can frequently
update what number is stored in 'foofie'
Thanks!

look up XML.load(url) in flash help, it's fairly simple
in the xml you put, for example
<foofie>11</foofie>
if foofie is in a database or some other dynamic place,
(which I assume, since you want to frequently update to its value)
you need to write a script, in php for example, that returns the
desired xml data

Loading XML Variables to Flash

I have my XML data loading into my SWF OK.
However, is there any way to call that tag name instead of
the child node number?
So instead of something like this:
myDate_txt.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[2];
Can do something like this?
myDate_txt.text = my_xml.firstChild.myDate;
Is that possible? I know that does not work the way it is
written, but is there code that you can do something like that?
And how do you call the next child (cousin) if you have an
XML document like this:
<people>
<friend>
<name>Bob</name>
<age>39</age>
</friend>
<cousin>
<name>Sally</name>
<age>29</age>
</cousin>
</people>

Hi
Read the Flash Help article related to the XPath API Class,
and your XML Parsing will be much easier.
