Have you used XML?

I am curious does anyone, that has actually used any XML technology, consider the following question meaningful?
Have you used XML?
And what about the following questions.....
If you are fluent in DOM do you consider youself fluent in XSLT and Web Services?
If you are working with Web Services do you consider yourself fluent in Ant build files?
If you hear that question do you just assume that it it is questioning the exact APIs that you are familar with or does it refer to all possible APIs?
Given a "normal" XML file and nothing else, is it going to provide substantial information about anything?
XML files themselves are so incredibilely hard to figure out that one must be an expert in the XML syntax itself to make any headway at all with the APIs that use them?

Yes, I have used XML. But that's a lot like saying I have used ASCII.
-- I don't do DOM. And I don't do schemas or DTDs.
-- I have done some XSLT; I have written a 600-line XSLT that transforms a certain XML format into an HTML representation of one of our invoices. (They are complicated beasts.)
-- I know nothing about Web services.
-- I have written some basic Ant build files but I am definitely not fluent in that format.
I learned pretty much everything I know about XML by lurking on the Mulberry XSLT mailing list for several months. And you'll notice there is a lot that I don't know about XML. But as your question implies, XML is not "a" technology. It's just a basis for a whole raft of technologies, many of which are over-architected monstrosities.

  • Have you used Macromedia Flex?

    Have you used Macromedia Flex? What's your opinion of it? My manager is good at
    latching onto the flavor-of-the-week, but things I've read about Flex makes it sound
    pretty good. Does anyone have any war stories?
    Thanks,
    Laszlo

    From what I understand, Flex can be compared, roughly to JSP:
    JSP:mixes html markup (typically) and jsp tags with Java and JavaScript in a text file (*.jsp).
    The jsp-engine compiles that and what's delivered to the client's browser is html+JavaScript.
    Flex: mixes XML markup with STL-like tags and tags for controls (they claim dozens, including tree
    and calendar controls, editable comboxes etc...) and tags for layout (think LayoutManagers).
    The event handlers are written in ActionScript which is supposed to be very JavaScript-like (and
    in one place I read it was statically typed, hurrah!). Again this goes in a text file (*.wxml).
    The Flex engine compile *.wxml files into flash programs (*.swf) and delivers this to Flash running
    on the client. Flash, not the browser, executes the dynamic content.
    Here are some of my concerns and non-concerns:
    The Ubiquity of Penetration (is that an episode of Oz or what?) Flash is on a lot of desktops, but
    Macromedia plays Three Card Monty by not pointing out that Flex needs the latest version (7)
    to run, and that version is not everywhere, yet. But as their surveys show, it may be everywhere within a year.
    This is a non-concern for me. I write apps for gov't employees so I've got a different issue: many of them
    work in the boonies where their LAN support is execrable. And on top of that, their desktops are so screwed
    down, the only thing they can install are browser plug-ins. So Flash fits.
    The cost. Flex retails for $12,000 USD. That's seems a lot to me for something that's just in
    the presentation layer.
    This is version 1.0. Flash may be stable but how buggy is Flex?
    Where's the Java?. ActionScript is supposed to be Java-like, but what would be cool would being
    able use a subset of Java and the API for the dynamic content. This could be compiled on the server-side
    and something like byte code could be sent to Flash to execute.
    How fast and responsive are the Flash programs?
    How big are the Flash programs generated by Flex to download? And how good are browsers at
    caching flash programs? Do they use the same mechanism as for caching images? I'd hate to
    redownload a flash program over a dialup line when bouncing between screens.
    How good are the controls that Flex delivers? How does it compare to Swing, say. How comprehensive
    Is their set of events?
    What do you need on the server-side? Flex communicates to sever apps via (1) Web Services
    (2) remote objects or (3) http calls, among other things. The Flex engine itself is a web-app, and
    they list their system requirements as WebSphere 5+ (although it runs in Tomcat 5.0). Unfortunately,
    our production admins only support WebSphere 4 Server.
    Aside: I went to a product demo on Monday, and I have to say salesmanship in software products
    creeps me out. Maybe because I came into programming through the back door, from math and logic,
    but at demos I feel like I'm being sold a used car. The presenters kept referring to ROI. What do I know
    about ROI? I thought they were talking about Le fils do roi...

    Field symbols: are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
    Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
    Field Groups:
    A field group is a user-defined grouping of characteristics and basic key figures from the EC-EIS or EC-BP field catalog.
    Use
    The field catalog contains the fields that are used in the aspects. As the number of fields grows, the field catalog becomes very large and unclear. To simplify maintenance of the aspects, you can group fields in a field group. You can group the fields as you wish, for example, by subject area or responsibility area. A field may be included in several field groups.
    When maintaining the data structure of an aspect, you can select the field group that contains the relevant characteristics and basic key figures. This way you limit the number of fields offered.
    A field group combines several existing fields together under one name
    like
    FIELD-GROUPS: fg.
    then you can use one insert statement to insert values in fields of field-group.
    INSERT f1 f2 ... INTO fg.
    Field symbols
    If u have experience with 'C', then understand this to be similar to a pointer.
    It is used to reference another variable dynamically. So this field symbol will simply point to some other variable. and this pointer can be changed at runtime.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS>.
    DATA FIELD VALUE 'X'.
    ASSIGN FIELD TO <FS>.
    WRITE <FS>.

  • Have you used the new workflow features in CM 12?

    In CM 12.0, users can optionally deploy the standard
    approval processing or new flexible, workflow approval
    processing based on the project and/or document. Have you
    used the new workflow features? Do you think the new
    workflows will allow your organization to better drive and
    control internal and multiple party reviews?

    I was one of those users who fight for this
    functionality.
    I find using it however very
    unhandy.
    Let me give you real
    life examples:
    1. Once you
    create an order/contract and do not choose "New
    Method" you cannot change approval method to new any
    more. Imagine one of my users was creating an order
    with 120 items (hell of typing!) then she spotted that
    she cannot send it with new review process to several
    reviewers in sequence. The need for retyping it makes
    5 other ppl already against this software, even if
    they did not used it at all.
    2.
    Document Owner has admin rights.
    For some
    reason user needs to be document owner in order to
    setup review process. Imagine in our situation usual a
    site assistant, or junior person in technical office
    is responsible for creating and typing all the
    orders/contracts. So this person needs to be Document
    Owner in order start review.
    Document owner
    however can also approve/reject in name of other users
    mentioned in review cycle. This I find strange and
    make entire new review/approval cycle worthless, as
    the situation is still that anyone can approve someone
    on someone behalf with no control.
    <br
    />3. Alerts missing. I couldn't find an alert that
    would be generated if a document is held internal (by
    user) for more then ... x days.
    <br
    />4. I'm also missing a Project Setting for "all
    documents must use new review process"; "defoult
    reviewers is + 'All in sequence' + 'list of reviewers'
    - for each kind of document.<br /><br />If
    you want to force users to follow a strict
    methodology, and your software gives them chance to
    choose whomever they want, wherever they want, use any
    approval method, approve on someone behalf ... you
    will finally fail.<br /><br />I keep
    hearing that Primavera sold thousand of licenses, and
    they will develop this product, I just hope they will
    hurry, before users switch to other software.<br

  • How Do You Use XML To Create Image Upload On A WebSite?

    Hello,
    Could some one please help me understand how to create web image gallery and web video gallery using XML? I have found few xml codes that could be used to do this but I am not so sure how to use them. I want my clients to be able upload images and videos with linking thumbnails to Image and or Videos. Do you think the codes I included in this question will help me achive this goal? And do I need to put all in one and in the same directory so it will work? Please help with your idea and tell me how you would use these codes and how you may step-by-step implement the idea your self to your own web site.
    I have also included the instruction I found on the web with the codes.
    Starting with You Tube, API on their video gallery, here are the codes I found,
    Assume you are to use the YouTube, XML code; What will you change here so it will work on your own www.domain.com?
    <% Dim xml, xhr, ns, YouTubeID, TrimmedID, GetJpeg, GetJpeg2, GetJpeg3, thumbnailUrl, xmlList, nodeList, TrimmedThumbnailUrl Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument")
    xml.async = False
    xml.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True
    xml.Load("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Shuggy23/favorites?orderby=updated") If xml.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
        Response.Write xml.parseError.reason End If Set xmlList = xml.getElementsByTagName("entry") Set nodeList = xml.SelectNodes("//media:thumbnail") For Each xmlItem In xmlList
        YouTubeID = xmlItem.getElementsByTagName("id")(0).Text
        TrimmedID = Replace(YouTubeID, "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/", "")
        For Each xmlItem2 In nodeList
            thumbnailUrl = xmlItem2.getAttribute("url")
            Response.Write thumbnailUrl & "<br />"
        Next     Next    
    %>
    For the image gallery, the following are the codes I found with your experience do I need to use the entire codes or just some of them that I should use?
    CODE #01Converting Database queries to XML
    Using XML as data sources presumes the existence of XML. Often, it is easier to have the server create the XML from a database on the fly. Below are some scripts for common server models that do such a thing.
    These are starting points. They will need to be customized for your particular scenario.
    All these scripts will export the data from a database table with this structure:
    ID: integer, primary key, autoincrement
    AlbumName: text(255)
    ImagePath: text(255)
    ImageDescription: text(2000)
    UploadDate: datetime
    The output of the manual scripts will look like:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
      <images>
         <image>
              <ID>1</ID>
              <album><![CDATA[ Family ]]></album>
              <path><![CDATA[ /family/us.jpg ]]></path>
              <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
              <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-20 10:20:00 ]]></date>
         </image>
         <image>
              <ID>2</ID>
              <album><![CDATA[ Work ]]></album>
              <path><![CDATA[ /work/coleagues.jpg ]]></path>
              <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
              <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-21 12:34:00 ]]></date>
         </image>
      </images>
    These are all wrapped in CDATA because it is will work with all data types. They can be removed if you know you don't want them.
    Note: If using the column auto-generating versions, ensure that all the column types are text. Some databases have data type options like 'binary', that can't be converted to text. This will cause the script to fail.

    OK, I understand - thanks for that.
    I thought the whole process was supposed to be a bit more seemless? Having to upload/download documents and manually keep them in sync will leave a lot of room for errors.
    It's kinda painful the way iOS doesn't have folders. It makes things incompatible with the Mac and means you can't group files from multiple apps into a single project - who organises their digital life by the apps they use?
    I think I'll recommend they use their iPad only.
    Thanks for that.
    Cheers

  • Have you used Captivate 4 with SAP?

    I have tried using older versions of Captivate to create SAP demonstrations and simulations, and wasn't particularly pleased with the output. My employer is happy for me to upgrade to Captivate 4. Before I do, can anyone share their experience of using Captivate 4 with SAP?
    Thanks, KristinaWasa

    Hi there
    I have no clue what SAP actually is. So I'm going to ask that you clarify your request a smidge.
    I'm wondering if you are asking if Captivate coexists with SAP so you may record what goes on with SAP?
    Or is SAP a delivery mechanism similar to or possibly even a Learning Management System (LMS) and you are asking if Captivate content is easily delivered by and communicates nicely with this system.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Have you used Forte & DCE...

    Hi
    We're starting a large project in which DCE RPC's will be used as a
    communication mechanism between a C++ app and our Forte service
    objects. The platform is Windows NT; for various reasons we have
    to use Microsoft's RPC on the C++ side. We have an evaluation copy of
    the latest PC-DCE software (v2.0.2) from Gradient, which is supposed
    to be compatible with Forte.
    I'd appreciate it if you could contact me if you've successfully implemented
    even a simple DCE-based app between Forte and C++ on NT (or between
    Forte and Forte, for that matter). I mainly need some advice on how to
    configure the PC-DCE software and implement even an extremely simple test
    between Forte and something else (e.g. no security). I.e. what's the
    minimum you need to do? We will build on from there.
    (Any other advice also appreciated!)

  • Have You Used Bing Map to Display Data

    I am looking for anyone who has used the Bing Map API to display their BW reporting?  Would you share your scenario and experience with the API?  How was it received by your reporting developers?  How was it received by your reporting consumers? 
    I am looking for any insights you may have.
    Best Regards,
    Scott Hutslar

    Scott,
    Bing Maps API or Google Map API the concerns are :
    There are multiple ways to do it - these APIs are available as web services which you can call and you can realize them using :
    1. Third party application using data from BW and BING together - this could be platforms like FLEX / any Java Application that you can build including Web Dynpro etc.
    You can also use BSP Pages to develop the same.
    Constraints :
    the BING APi requires connection to the internet and usually the sandbox / dev systems are not exposed to the internet which leads to the usual option of doing it in a third party application like FLEX etc.
    Data from BW can be enabled using web services - typically using the Query_view_data web service or the restful web service available for queries ( search for RESTFul Query in the WIKI and you should get the wiki by Durairaj Athavan raja )
    Now when you use a third party tool - then rollout becomes an issue especially with FLEX and the crossdomain issues you will face. Using TOmcat and a custom Java application / AJAX etc would mean that you will have to look at how these applications get consumed.
    The experience is very good in terms of flexibility afforded to UI design but this would ofcourse depend on the interface or method you would use.

  • Have YOU used Training videos?

    Any feedback greatly appreciated!!

    Hi,
    I have used the ASK Video range DVDs 1,2 & 3 (https://askvideo.com/productinfo.php?productsid=44).
    I have also watched the demos of the videos you mentioned below and personally think I would have been better off with the MacProVideo series.
    This is obviously a personal opinion but I find that with the ASK series there are not enough practical examples - they seem to rush through the features and didn't raise my enthusiasm levels when trying to learn.....
    As I said - a personal opinion!

    I will try changing the anti-alias, something I haven't always been paying attention to, THANKS.
    It was a designer that I worked with a few years ago that said she did it in Illustrator. I think it was AI (I have the Master Suite but only use PS, DW and a tiny buit of flash (usually just, here we go again, editing text)) and yes, it was rasterization and not vector, I have them mixed up and not sure what the difference is...
    But she swore by it and I'm fairly certain she was using CS4. I remember having to make small text changes but couldn't because they were images in the PSD file(s) she sent. They definitley looked better than the typed in ones I did later. In fact, I recall getting yelled at for just putting it up there just using the type tool; maybe not using the anti-alias tool was part of the reason but I remember her being very adamant about it...
    Thanks again RikRamsay!

    I came across "HelloSpy" and I'd appreciate it if you can give any recommendations about this software or any other ones.
    Cheers

    Hellospy is the best software I have ever known. I have used some tracking software on the phone, but until I know and use Hellospy I see really effective. Just go to the website to download it, you've probably got a great spyware. Let's see, I think you will be surprised that
    There is no spyware on a BlackBerry.
    Don't be silly.

  • Have you used an Iphone in Europe?

    Am traveling to Europe in May.  Want advice from others who have used an Iphone4 while traveling.  Thanks.

    Hello hellie68!
    That's sounds like an awesome trip! gina7239 has some great ideas for your travel! You can turn off the cellular data, or you can put the phone in airplane mode. Settings>Airplane mode. WiFi is a great alternative while traveling internationally. I have also provided you a link with our global rates.

  • Have you used an iPhone in Vermont?

    Hi,
    I want to buy an iPhone. I don't live in VT, but my family does so I visit several times a year. But,
    I don't want to be without phone service. AT&T's map shows Partner service and notes that it may not work inside a car or in a building. Not good for those sub-zero winter days!
    So, if you have an iPhone and have used it in VT, could you please respond and describe your experience? Were you able to make calls? receive calls?
    Thank you so much! >^..^<

    I travel to West Dover regularly. There is blackout area between Greenfield, MA and Wilmington, VT which I think is fair to expect given that these are back roads. Once in Wilmington the signal is "good". Being indoors does cause an occasional drop, but I have found being near a window is helpful.
    I also use a wireless card for my laptop through att. I have struggled to maintain EDGE connections, so I am now experimenting with external antennas.
    If you will be using it primarily in a fixed location (at your home) and have signal strength issues, an external antenna with a repeater may an option for you.
    In all, my experience has been acceptable, but keep in mind this is a ski resort, so YMMV.
