Hardcoded values within XML tags

Inorder to generate an XML file, is it a requirement to have all the data in the database?
For example, if I do:
Select 'MyValue' From Dual -> it will return me with MyValue. Essentially, this is hardcoding values.
Is this achievable using sql to generate XML output
<Test>My Hardcorded Value</Test> -> where My Hardcorded Value is the value i want to embed within the <Test> tag.
Thanks

Without knowing what method you are even using to generate the XML nor what DB version, here is one solution for 10.x.x.x
select XMLElement("Test",'My Hardcoded Value')
from dual;
results in
<Test>My Hardcoded Value</Test>

How to read value within XML Tag data using IO Stream in Java

We have xml data into a Stream and we need to extract values again into a Stream from the particular XML tag <Data> inside the Stream. PFB the sample XML which will be contained inside the stream and can someone help us to hint the java code for this. We require it using the IO API only and we need to look <DATA> for the begining of the stream and </DATA> as the end of the stream.
Please note that input is stream and output require also is a stream.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<GenericDataEnvelope>
<DataFormat>PlainText</DataFormat>
<Name>1111</Name>
<Security>NA</Security>
<senderName>abc</senderName>

MTA2Ci19ClRJUEYK
</Data>
<DataType>INVOICE</DataType>
</GenericDataEnvelope>

The example you've showed is valid and it is also text.
Think seriously about this ... for example, do you have a rule that says </DATA> can't appear in the binary data?
But in any case I can't see the problem. If you want to use IO classes directly, just read lines until you see <DATA>, then read data until it ends with </DATA>, and remove that.
But I would certainly use SAX myself until proven otherwise that it won't work..

Extracting value from XML tags in Java

Hi all,
I need to extract the value from a string (XML Format). Eg. <Name>Ray</Name> and displaying Name: Ray
The string value is like any other String class object except that it is format with XML tags. I have quite a few examples that shows how a value can be read from a .xml file but none that describe how to get a value from a String object.
Thanks in advance.

Grab Values within HTML Tag

Hi
I am trying to get the values within the <h1></h1> only from the <div class="primary-title-and-description">. How do I go about doing that?
I tried my luck with the below code but no joy. What I did was copy the above code and save it as test.html and I use the code below.
$test = gc test.html | % { [regex]::matches( $_ , '(?<=<div class="primary-title-and-description">\s+)(.*?)(?=\s+</h1>)' ) } | select -expa value
$test
I did not get any response from the powershell. What have I done wrong? Should I use xml method to get the values?
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the code. I have this issue here.
I used the DownloadString($url) from a URL and thus there is no way to do a -raw on that. And when I use
$url -replace ("`t|`n|`r","") -match 'primary-title-and-description"><h1>(.*?)</h1>'
$matches[1]
I don't get any results.
Thanks

Apologies if the description is not clear. Kindly let me know if further details are needed. Many thanks for your help.

Hi,
You need to declare the namespace of each element used in the XPath expression, like this :
SQL> select extractvalue( XMLDATA
2                     , '/samp:Field1/UTI/U01'
3                     , 'xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd"' ) "XMLDATA"
4 from chipsxmltable1 x
5 ;
XMLDATA
No
SQL> select extract( XMLDATA
2                , '/samp:Field1/UTI'
3                , 'xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd"'
4                ).getstringval() "XMLDATA"
5 from chipsxmltable1 x
6 ;
XMLDATA
<UTI>
<U01>No</U01>
<U02>Y</U02>
<U03>Y</U03>
<U03a>Y</U03a>
<U03b>Y</U03b>
<U03c>Y</U03c>
<U04>Y</U04>
<U05>Y</U05>
</UTI>
Please see EXTRACT and EXTRACTVALUE documentation :

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions052.htm#SQLRF06173
BTW, "XMLDATA" is a pseudo-column used by Oracle. I don't know if it'll ever cause any conflict but maybe you should rename your column.

How to insert blank spaces in XML tag?

Hi Experts,
I have a variable of type char and lenght 10 with value "ABCDE". When I write this value in xml tag <TEXT> using simple transformation it ignores the trailing blank spaces and the result xml string looks as <TEXT>ABCDE</TEXT>.
I want the xml tag with trailing blank spaces i.e. it should be like <TEXT>ABCDE     </TEXT>. And suppose if the variable does not contain any value, the xml tag should contain 10 blank spaces like <TEXT>          </TEXT>.
I have tried using the solution given in this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/f52846257a0485e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
but unfortunately it doesn't work.
Please guide me to achieve this.
Regards,
Ravi

ABAP prog:
DATA: text(10)    TYPE c VALUE 'ABCDE',
      xml_xstring TYPE string.
CALL TRANSFORMATION z_test SOURCE root = text
                        RESULT XML xml_xstring.
WRITE xml_xstring.
Transformation:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="ROOT"/>
<tt:template>
      <Text tt:value-ref="ROOT"/>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
Result in xml string:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>#<Text>ABCDE</Text>
Also tried transformation using:
<tt:template>
      <Text>
           <tt:value length="10" ref="ROOT"/>
      </Text>
</tt:template>
Thanks.

Create xml tag dynamically within simple transformation

Hi all together,
I'm faceing the following problem:
There is a internal table provided, consisting of name/value-pairs. Something like
ls_struc-name = 'NAME1'.
ls_struc-value = 'XYZ'.
append ls_struc to lt_struc
ls_struc-name = 'CITY1'.
ls_struc-value = 'Munich'.
append ls_struc to lt_struc
and so on.
I have to create this XML (with simple transformation):
<NAME1>XYZ</NAME1>
<CITY1>Munich</CITY1>
Everythings works fine so far (tables, values etc.), but I have problems with creating the XML-Tag, e.g <NAME1> from "$line.name" within the transformation. I don't have any information about the data structure (therefore "call transaction id" does not work).
Any hint is useful!!!
Best regards,
Thomas

How to get the XML TAG name itself instead of TAG value

Hi All,
I have a question here
I want to retrieve the XML tag from a XML file instead of its value.
Example:
<item>Colgate</item>
Now I want to retrieve "item" as output from XPath expression, I dont want its value as "colgate"
How to do that...?
Thanks
-Praveen

You can do this with an axes XPatch expression:
child::node()/name()

This layout needs some elements to be placed at specific location and using an autoshape or a text box is easy. When I preview the pdf output on my desktop, it works fine. Once I upload the template into EBS XML Publisher, the value in the text box shows up as an XML Tag instead of the value in that tag. The same XML data when loaded and previewed locally shows the data instead of the tag.
Any thoughts on this? Is there a patch or something we might need for this in EBS?
Thanks,
Vinay

Thanks Tim for the quick response.
Yes - the versions are same. Also, I tried giving the complete path. The issue is that it is not even reading the text in the text box as an XML tag. It seems to think the whole text box is an object and hence just display that text as is. If it was reading and not able to resolve it, I guess it would have displayed blank (and not the tag as is). Again as I mentioned it works fine in local preview on my machine.

Getting unwanted values between the XML tags in XSLT mapping

Hi Folks
I have come across a very strange situation with my xslt mapping.
I am getting unwated values "11" between xml tags
as follows
<Tag>0001</Tag>
11
<DataID>3</DataID>
I am not sure why I am getting these values in between the tags. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi David,
Here is the code fragment where these 2 tags are mapped, FYI, the source is an IDOC message. The unwanted "11" is coming After the <Tag></Tag> and <DataID></DataID>. FYI, Fof the element <Tag></Tag> its a default value. But for <DataID> </DataID> I have the mapping logic.
<Order>
            <OrderHeader>
              <Tag>009</Tag>
              <xsl:for-each select="E1EDKA1">
                <xsl:choose>
                  <xsl:when test="normalize-space(PARVW) = 'WE' and normalize-space(LIFNR) = 'U960'">
   <DataID>
                    <xsl:value-of select="'1'" />
   </DataID>
                  </xsl:when>
                  <xsl:when test="normalize-space(PARVW) = 'WE' and normalize-space(LIFNR) = 'U300'">
   <DataID>
                    <xsl:value-of select="'3'" />
       </DataID>
                  </xsl:when>
   <xsl:when test="normalize-space(PARVW) = 'WE' and normalize-space(LIFNR) = 'U930'">
   <DataID>
                    <xsl:value-of select="'1'" />
   </DataID>
                  </xsl:when>
   <xsl:when test="normalize-space(PARVW) = 'WE' and normalize-space(LIFNR) = 'U400'">
   <DataID>
                    <xsl:value-of select="'3'" />
   </DataID>
                  </xsl:when>
                  <xsl:otherwise>
                    <xsl:value-of select="'1'" />
                  </xsl:otherwise>
                </xsl:choose>
               </xsl:for-each>

How to filter particular xml tag value using -DBMS_XMLGEN / DBMS_XMLSTORE

Hi,
I am using dbms_xmlgen and dbms_xmlstore package to extract xml datafile tag value from file server to oracle database table.
I have used the below pl/sql program to extract the xml tag values to oracle relational table.Its working fine for me.
But I would like to extract the values based on particular filter condition.
The following xml program I have 3 rows I would like extract the xml data based on the following condition .
Filter condition
==============
the tag <STATE_ABBREVIATION> value shuold be 'CA' and the <CITY> tag value should be Palo_Alto then I will store the ZIPCODE
ZIP_CODE_EXTN,STATE_ABBREVIATION tag values in the Oracle Relational table.
The below pl/sql program storing all the three rows but I required the values based on the filter condition that I mentioned earlier.
Kindly assist me what are the steps that I need to change in this program.?
XML Program file content.
======================
<ZIPCODES>
<mappings>
<STATE_ABBREVIATION>CA</STATE_ABBREVIATION>
<ZIPCODE>94301</ZIPCODE>
<ZIP_CODE_EXTN>9277</ZIP_CODE_EXTN>
<CITY>Palo_Alto</CITY>
</mappings>
<mappings>
<STATE_ABBREVIATION>CA</STATE_ABBREVIATION>
<ZIPCODE>95302</ZIPCODE>
<ZIP_CODE_EXTN>9279</ZIP_CODE_EXTN>
<CITY>LA</CITY>
</mappings>
<mappings>
<STATE_ABBREVIATION>TX</STATE_ABBREVIATION>
<ZIPCODE>75038</ZIPCODE>
<ZIP_CODE_EXTN>7837</ZIP_CODE_EXTN>
<CITY>DALLAS</CITY>
</mappings>
</ZIPCODES>

Thanks for your reply. :)
Its working fine in the DBMS_XMLSTORE package. Here I have given the code
