Formating xml data

am importing xml from a xml attribute and storing it as a
string. I am then loading it into a dynamic text box with render as
html on. The problem is formating only part of the data in the
dynamic text field as Italics or bold. I'm unable to put any
<>brackets inside the xml attribute so that it would then
render in the dynamic text field as html. I've tried using entities
and decimal equivalents as a substitute for the html mark up with
no success. How do I formate the xml node attribute with italics
and bold.
Example
<Slides>
<slideNode titlezText="This the
<i>Title</i>"></slideNode>
</slides>
This wont display. How do I italicize the word "title" when
it is inputed into a dynamic text field.

Thanks, the problem is I was trying to add the html mark up
to a xml node attribute, but it appears as tho I will have to make
this information from the node attribute be put in a new node
instead.

Format XML data when writing to a file

Hi,
I am trying to write runtime data (XML) to a file. I am doign the following to write to the file:
public void saveFile() throws Exception {
try {
TransformerFactory transformerFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(XMLFile);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult();
transformer.transform(source, result);
output.flush();
output.close();
} catch (Exception x) {
throw x;
The output from the above code is a clutter of elements. All the elements are on the same line some times.
1) How can I format the output? (Indent the elements in the file)
Is there a way to achieve this?
Sometimes, I see a square character at the end of some lines. I thought the output file is corrupt because of this character. But it does not seem to be a problem.
2) How do I avoid this character?

Also, I am planning on using xpath in conjunction with DOM. However I read on one of the websites not to use too many xpath queries. I am using jdk 1.5.
Is it tight. My code might have to be run many times. Is the following ok?
or should I eliminate xpath and do my own traversing. I am concerned about runtime performance if I have to continue to update the xml file frequently.
public Element getMatchingNode(MyAttributes attr) throws Exception {
try {
File myFile = new File(XMLFile);
if (myFile.exists()) {
System.out.println(XMLFile + " File exists");
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xPath = factory.newXPath();
InputSource inputSource =
new InputSource(new FileInputStream(myFile));
String matchingString = this.getMatchingString(attr);
Element module =
(Element)xPath.evaluate("/" + TEST_TAG +
"/" +
TEST_TAG2 +
"/" +
DETAIL +
matchingString,
inputSource,
XPathConstants.NODE);
return module;
} else
return null;
} catch (Exception x) {
throw x;
private String getMatchingString(MyAttributes attrs){
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
for (Enumeration e=attrs.keys(); e.hasMoreElements();){
String attribute = (String)e.nextElement();
String value = attrs.get(attribute);
buffer.append("[@" + attribute + "=" + "'" + value + "']");
return buffer.toString();
}

Any ideas how i can do this? i havent found any good example on how to format the XML output this way.

Hi,
You can format the data using Format Into String as shown in the attached snippet. Is this maybe something you can use?

Not able to see iby_fd_extract_ext_pub custom tags of in XML data

Hi Experts,
I have customized the iby_fd_extract_ext_pub package to add the custom tags in the payment format xml data.Package status is valid but I am not able to see any of the custom element in the XML Data.
Please share your experience if you faced similar issue.
Regards,
Brajesh

1. Do not prefix it just put your code in and compile - unless you want to call XX_IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB from IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB to have minimal impact to IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB.
2. You won't be able to put in an additional parameter, you'll need to derive the Payment Process Profile from SQL by linking from payment document to payment process to payment process profile; or just get the org from, say, the first invoice in the batch - as long as you always group by organization this will be fine.
3. Yes, it is probably that a patch will overwrite your customization - make sure you test it after each IBY patch - use applcust.txt and make sure your DBA's check adpatch logs for the file being overwritten!

While using XML data button, In URL Box we need an script.that will return the correctly formatted XML data source How can we do the coding of that script and How to do its Local Hosting?
Is there any other method or application that can be provided in the URL box so that it also returns the correctly formatted XML data source? are there some demos of it?//

Yes, Data connection works. I can connect to Xcel, Access, xml data.
In fact What I am trying is to do is thi:
1 - From a user interface with some select dn list box
2 - Use adodb connection to pull data from an access database with the selected info in the UI
3 - format selected data as xml and load xml data into xcelsius- Run Time.

Converting Java.util date to XML date in format YYYY-MMM-dd

I'm using below code to convert java.util.date to XML date
public static XMLGregorianCalendar toXMLDate(Date dte) {
   try {
   // this may throw DatatypeConfigurationException
   DatatypeFactory datatypeFactory = DatatypeFactory.newInstance();
   GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
   // reset all fields
calendar.clear();
   Calendar parsedCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
parsedCalendar.setTime(dte);
calendar.set( parsedCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR ),
parsedCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH),
parsedCalendar.get(Calendar.DATE ));
   XMLGregorianCalendar xmlCalendar = datatypeFactory.newXMLGregorianCalendar( calendar );
xmlCalendar.setTimezone( DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED );
xmlCalendar.setFractionalSecond( null );
   return xmlCalendar;
I need to get the date in the format YYYY-MMM-dd, but it returns in a format YYYY-MM-dd. Can anyone tell me how can i change the format? Thanks

>
The snippet of ApplicationClient where the assignment took place and the syntax occurred were:
1. DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
2. DateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
3. Date date = new Date();
4. CustomerDetail customerDetail = new CustomerDetail();
5. customerDetail.setCollectionDate(dateFormat.format(date)); //got the above syntax error
6. customerDetail.setCollectionTime(timeFormat.format(date)); //got the above syntax error
.....I am running JDK 1.6.0_10, Glassfish v2r2, MySQL 5.0, Netbeans 6.1 on Windows XP platform.The format method returns a String not a Date. Why not just store the Date as is without formatting, and format it when you want to retrieve it from the DB and display it?

You can try the below xpath function to convert the xml into string - orcl:get-content-as-string(/xsdLocal:SAPOrderRequest)
To convert the string back to XML - ora:parseEscapedXML(bpws:getVariableData('stringpayloadVar'))

What is the content of your xml file. Is this sample xml file or Data Template.

Change PaymentAmountText value in XML Data file of Format Payment Instructr

How to change the value of PaymentAmountText in XML file generated during of IBY_FD_PAYMENT_FORMAT module: Format Payment Instructions?? This XML Data file is being used by the Check Print rtf template.
The checks will be used for a Singapore$ (S$) Bank account and USD$ Bank account.
For the S$ check in XML data file :
<PaymentAmountText>Eighty-Five Dollars And Sixty***********************</PaymentAmountText> for S$85.60
For the USD$ check in XML data file:
<PaymentAmountText>Eighty-Five Dollars And Sixty Cents***********************</PaymentAmountText> for USD$85.60
I have to add 'cents' for the value of the S$ check.
It looks to me that since it shows for USD and not for SGD, that one can change this in some kind of set up issue. But where and how?? Or can I manipulate this value in the rtf template too??
Edited by: user1596364 on 24-mei-2012 8:54

I have solved my problem in following way.
For example, I would like 'POUNDS' instead of 'DOLLARS'. Currently my check reads 1000 Dollars and 50 cents. It should read 1000 Pounds and 50 pennies
You need to change the verbiage in the options field for the payment format. (This is the explanation for GUI users.)
Copy your Format Payment and add some options to it to make the verbiage read Pounds and pennies. Then create a new Payment Format that uses this new Format Payment. Then put this new Payment Format on the Bank Payment Document for the bank account that needs to pay in Irish Pounds.
1. Define a new Payment Program under System Administrator.
Navigate to Concurrent -> Program -> Define
Query up the Evergreen payment program you are using (ex. APXPBFEG).
2. Click on the 'Copy to' button.
Enter a value in the 'Program' field type, for example, "Irish Pounds Program".
Enter a value in the 'Short name' field type, for example, "APXPBIPP".
3. Edit the Options field in the Executable zone (Do not click the 'Parameters' button.) In the 'Options' field, enter the following 4 options on one line with one blank space between each option:
P_UNIT_SINGULAR="Pound"
P_UNIT_PLURAL="Pounds"
P_SUB_UNIT_SINGULAR="penny"
P_SUB_UNIT_PLURAL="pennies"
(For other currencies, replace "Pound" with "Lira", "Peso",etc.)

Data in XML format (XML files) to BW?

Hi,
My customer is interested in loading data to BW (from 3rd party system) in XML format. Are there any advantages of doing this (compared to traditional ascii files)? How about disadvantages (BW version is 3.5) ?. How to get started with this one, I noticed there is a possibility to create a XML data source. Is this able to take XML files into BW or what?.
Any help highly appreciated!

DeleteXml() causing xml data format error in database

Hi, guys,
I'm using the oracle xml db 11g in my website application. Last week I found that using the deletexml() to delete a node in the xml may cause a terrible problem that the rest data in the database had wrong xml format. I wonder is it a bug when using binary xml storage.
My xml data is describe below,
<root>
     <nodes>
          <node id="1">
               <name>John</name>
               <age>16</age>
               <hobby>football</hobby>
          </node>
          <node id="2">
               <name>Alex</name>
               <age>22</age>
               <hobby>table tenisl</hobby>
         </node>
     <nodes>
</root>
I using deletexml() to delete just a node once time,
"update projects set object_value=deletexml(object_value, '/root/nodes/node[@id="1"]')"
Usually it successes and the rest data is as excepted, but sometime, I find that after deleting a node, any query in the database except "select * from projects" gets null. And the rest data has wrong format like below,
<root>
     <nodes>
          <node id="1">
               <name>John</name>
               <age>/hobby>
          </node>
          <node id="2">
               <name>Alex</name>
               <age>22</age>
               <hobby>table tenisl</hobby>
         </node>
     <nodes>
</root>
Just one format error causes the whole xml data valueless, but it seems that in most time the deletexml() works well, does anyone knows what happens?
Thanks a lot.

XMLPatch?
Do you use it yourself on a regular basis?
Personally, I find it fun to use but the performance doesn't match my expectations (no piecewise update/streaming eval AFAIK).

Help retreiving XML data in table format

Hello,
i have a field which stores IP and Domain data in XML format. The field data type is BLOB.
here is the XML data sample stored in the field.
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<DOMAIN Name="DOMAIN_NAME HERE">
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X1"></IPADDRESS>
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X2"></IPADDRESS>
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X3"></IPADDRESS>
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X4"></IPADDRESS>
... ETC
Is it possible to run SELECT against this field and retrieve the data in the table format, so the output will have two fields and look like
domain IPADDRESS
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X1
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X2
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X3
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X4
I have tried many option with Extract, extractvalue and XMLQuery, not luck.
Thank you very much!

Hi i need to write the data from an XML file to a Microsoft SQL SErver database!
i got a piece of code from the net which allows me to parse th file:
import java.io.IOException;

import org.xml.sax.helpers.*;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser;
import java.lang.*;

if (localName.compareTo("Machine") == 0)
System.out.println("YES");
if (attributes.getLength() > 0)
idx += INDENT;
for (int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++)
attList = attList + attributes.getLocalName(i) + " = " + attributes.getValue(i);
if (i < (attributes.getLength() - 1))

idx-= INDENT;
private String getIndent()
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < idx; i++)
sb.append(" ");
return sb.toString();
}// END PRGM
Now , am not a very good Java DEv. and i need to find a soln. to this prob within 1 week.
The next step is to write the data to the DB.
Am sending an example of my file:
<Start>
<Machine>
<Hostname> IPCServer </Hostname>
<HostID> 80c04499 </HostID>
<MachineType> sun4u [ID 466748 kern.info] Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz) </MachineType>

<Memory> RAM : 512 MB </Memory>
<HostAdapter>

<EthernetAddress> 09:00:30:C1:34:90 </EthernetAddress>
<IPAddress> 149.51.23.140 </IPAddress>
</Machine>
</Start>
Note that i can have more than 1 machines (meaning that i have to loop thru the file to be able to write to the DB)
Cal u tellme what to do!
Even better- do u have a piece of code that will help me understand and implement the database writing portion?
I badly need help here.
