HELP RETRIVEING XML DATA

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!
Sergei

Use the extractValue() function to extract the node values.
Refer example 4-3.

THose namespaces are really a pain. You should consider to have all "xmlns=" removed that are not really needed.

... 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

Retriving xml data

i have xml structure.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.hotmail.com">Hotmail</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.nepalNews.com">Nepal News</a></li>
</ul>
I have to retive data of "<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>" only . how could i retrive it. I have tried with this code
trace(myXML.li[0]); But it show value only. I need whole "<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>". How can I we retrive this types of data from xml

i know. but you need to use cdata nodes to store data in that format in xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ul>
    <li><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>]]></li>
    <li><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.hotmail.com">Hotmail</a>]]></li>
    <li><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.nepalNews.com">Nepal News</a>]]></li>
</ul>
now parse this xml.

Need help in XML data processing

Hi All,
I have to process a stored procedure's input parameter which comes as a string in the XML format.
Ex:
<Search>
<Row1>
<Table1>Tab1</Table1>
<Column1>col1</Column1>
<Operator1>op1</Operator1>
<Value1>val1</Value1>
</Row1>
<Row2>
<Table2>Tab2</Table2>
<Column2>col2</Column2>
<Operator2>op2</Operator2>
<Value2>val2</Value2>
</Row2>
</search>
I should process the above parameter and build a select query from each row.
Ex: select * from Tab1 where col1 op1 val1;
How can i achieve this?
i am using oracle 11g version.
Thanks in advance to all.

Your xml is not "well-formed" as every tag has a separate name (the numbering part in Row1, Row2 etc.), i would expect it as
<Search>
<Row>
    <Table>Tab1</Table>
    <Column>col1</Column>
    <Operator>op1</Operator>
    <Value>val1</Value>
</Row>
<Row>
    <Table>Tab2</Table>
    <Column>col2</Column>
    <Operator>op2</Operator>
    <Value>val2</Value>
</Row>
</Search>Anyway, this would do what you want:
WITH DATA AS (SELECT XMLTYPE('<Search>
                              <Row1>
                              <Table1>Tab1</Table1>
                              <Column1>col1</Column1>
                              <Operator1>op1</Operator1>
                              <Value1>val1</Value1>
                              </Row1>
                              <Row2>
                              <Table2>Tab2</Table2>
                              <Column2>col2</Column2>
                              <Operator2>op2</Operator2>
                              <Value2>val2</Value2>
                              </Row2>
                              </Search>') xml
                FROM DUAL
SELECT 'SELECT * FROM ' || TAB || ' WHERE ' ||COL || ' ' || OPER || ' ' || VALUE
FROM (SELECT EXTRACTVALUE(xml, '/Search/Row' || LEVEL || '/Table' || LEVEL) TAB,
               EXTRACTVALUE(xml, '/Search/Row' || LEVEL || '/Column' || LEVEL) COL,
               EXTRACTVALUE(xml, '/Search/Row' || LEVEL || '/Operator' || LEVEL) OPER,
               EXTRACTVALUE(xml, '/Search/Row' || LEVEL || '/Value' || LEVEL) VALUE

Read/write xml data from/to adobe livecycle forms (pdf)

Hello,
I need some help reading xml data from pdfs created by Adobe LiveCycle and also writing xml data back to the form.
The forms have been created using PROD LC 8.2 and in the future they will be created using PROD LC 9.5.
I am using Visual Basic .NET to access the data programatically.
Can anyone help me with some hints? A library, SDK? Any information would be very helpful.
I am quite new with this Electronic Forms issue and I do not even know where to start.
Thank you,
Ionel

Hi lonel,
Do you want an online solution?
I mean, it follows this workflow:
1. The user will open the PDF by clicking a link, and a server-side program will generate the PDF and prepopulate it with data from some data sources, and render the PDF to the client (Browser),
2. The user will fill the PDF.
3. The user will click a Submit button and save the PDF and Data on the server.
4. If the user wants to edit the Submitted Form, he will click a link to open the save PDF and possibly prepopulate some fields with data from other data sources, and complete the cycle of filling and saved the PDF and Data on the server.
5. While the user is filling the PDF (inside a Browser), there might be a need to perform some lookup on the server, and update the form parts accordingly as a result of the lookup process.
For 1-4 above, I have developed a complete base library using ASP.NET which helps you to perform the above.
You can goto my Google Workspace and you will find a bunch of documents, sample PDFs, collections and VB Classes. To best view them, login using some Google Account.
For point 4 above, one way to perform this effect, is to regenerate the required XML Data (which has the saved data before and the new lookup data), remerge the entire XML result with and empty PDF Form, and render the XFA (PDF Form) back to the client. But, if the PDF has one or more signatures, it will not work. So, in this case, you can update the Form Fields of a Saved PDF Form with new Data from the server, but the net effect is that you will have to loose all the signatures that were added on the PDF before.
For 5 (above) there are 3 methods:
1. Using a Web Service as a Data Connection. This is very easy if you have a traditional Web Service. I have used this method several times and will use it again if the need be. But, there is a problem. If the result of the Web Service is an Array of some Data, and you want to remerge the XFA to get the required effect after executing the web service ... and ... if there are some Drop-Down-List (DDL) fields, the bindings of the DDL Items of those fields will be lost. But, you can rebuild them (on enter event of the DDL Field) if you have saved them in the embedded XML Data.
2. You can update few (not many) fields while the PDF is opened (under the Browser via IFRAME) by passing the new field values using the URL Query String method. I have not done this, but I like this method, and I think it is cool. You need to write a server side code to ensure the the new filed values are passed back to the client using the correct URL with the Query String, and you need to write some javascript code inside the PDF to parse the URL and get the new field values and update them accordingly. See this as an example:
http://www.halnesbitt.com/pages/pdfqs.php
3. This method is very advanced and uses message communication ques between the Browser and the PDF (which is opened inside IFRAME element) using HostContainer object. This method will enable 2-way communication between the Browser and the PDF on the client side using javascript. I'd love to use this method one day. See example here:
http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Browser2PDF/brwsr2acroJS.htm
I hope this will be of help to you.

Help needed with sending XML data out of Dashboard design/ Xcelsius

Hi All,
I did this a year back and got it right, but now am not able to get it, probably Ive made a small mistake which I have been overlooking.
I selcted Enable XML send in my XML data connection and dfined the connection name as "Range_1" and Range name also as "Range_1"
Now I worte this servlet in Java:
public class PostTestServlet extends HttpServlet{
     protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
     String param1=request.getParameter("Range_1");
     System.out.println(param1);
     protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
     System.out.println("Get Called");
     doPost(request,response);
     System.out.println("abcd");
Deployed it to Apache Tomcat 6.
Also selected the required usage options in Xcelsius for sending data every 10 seconds.
Now the servlet gets called, I see it in the console.
But the request.getParameter("Range_1") is returning null.
Tried many things, not able to figure it out. Any help?
Thanks
Nikhil

Hi,
Xcelsius/Dashboards will convert the range of values that you want to send into XML.
It then will POST the XML when it calls the web page.
For example, if you had created three ranges to send to your web page:
A (a single cell)
B (a single cell)
C (a row of three cells)
The data in the POST input stream for the web page will look something like this:
<data>
<variable name="A">
    <row>
      <column>10</column>
    </row>
</variable>
<variable name="B">
    <row>
      <column>15</column>
    </row>
</variable>
<variable name="C">
    <row>
      <column>1</column>
      <column>2</column>
      <column>3</column>
    </row>
</variable>
</data>
I don't have an example for ASP, but I do for a JSP (attached).

Matt

XML Data Set with Spry Slides - Please Help

Hi, I'm trying to combine XML Data Set with sliding tabs.
I've created two keys responsible for sliding the tabs:
<a id="previous" href="#"
onclick="sp1.showPreviousPanel();">Previous</a>
<a id="next" href="#"
onclick="sp1.showNextPanel();">Next</a>
Then XML Data Set is used to populate the tabs, but only a
single tab remains visible, and a "Next/Previous" buttons are used
to move to the next tab. And this is where the problem arises.
The problem is that, every time I refreash the gallery or
load it for the first time, I have to press TWICE the "Next" button
to move to the next image. After that, its all fine, and slides
well. It's only the FIRST time when loaded.
Please help.

Anyone has any idea why I need a DOUBLE Click to start moving
the sliding panels?
I've just completed two tutorials by Don Booth.
1/Building a Spry Sliding Panels widget
2/Building a photo album with the Spry framework
But what I try to COMBINE them - display the photos in
sliding panels, I also need to DOUBLE click the "next" buton before
it starts scrolling.
Why is that Double Click needed? Help Please.
Here's my code for the combined version:

Help with XML, display data on swipe/click

Hello.
I am trying to create a moibile app that displays XML data. It's basically a phone book. I want the data to change when swiped. I can get the data in just fine. I can get it to display fine. I am not seeing the correct image first, however. I think it's a problem with my imagenum variable.
Then, I want to change what is displayed when the user clicks/swipes on the screen. How do I do that?
stop();
var nameArray:Array = new Array();
var countryArray:Array = new Array();
var portraitArray:Array = new Array();
var flagArray:Array = new Array();
var jobtitleArray:Array = new Array();
var imageNum:Number=0;
var totalImages:Number;
//Load XML
var XMLURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
XMLURLLoader.load(new URLRequest("recbook.xml"));
XMLURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(event:Event):void {
var theXMLData:XML = new XML(XMLURLLoader.data);
totalImages=theXMLData.name.length();
for (var i:Number =0; i < totalImages; i++){
//push xml data into the arrays
nameArray.push(theXMLData.name[i]);
countryArray.push(theXMLData.country[i]);
portraitArray.push(theXMLData.portrait[i]);
flagArray.push(theXMLData.flag[i]);
jobtitleArray.push(theXMLData.jobtitle[i]);
//data is processed
loadData();
function loadData():void {
var thisPortrait:String = portraitArray[imageNum];
var thisCountry:String = countryArray[imageNum];
var thisName:String = nameArray[imageNum];
var thisJobtitle:String = jobtitleArray[imageNum];
var thisFlag:String = flagArray[imageNum];
var dataLoader:Loader = new Loader();
dataLoader.load(new URLRequest(portraitArray[imageNum]));
dataLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataLoaded);
function dataLoaded(event:Event):void {
//I want to start with image 0 (img1.jpg) and cycle through with a mouse click (finger swipe on iOS)
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadMainImage1);
function loadMainImage1(event:MouseEvent):void {
   portraitUILoader.source=thisPortrait;
   flagUILoader.source=thisFlag;
   selectedName.text=thisName;
   selectedCountry.text=thisCountry;
   selectedJobtitle.text=thisJobtitle;
//add to imageNum (1);
imageNum++;
if (imageNum < totalImages) {//stopping at img2
trace("imageNum " + imageNum);
trace("image name (thisPortrait) " + thisPortrait);//losing image 4 somewhere
loadData();
trace("Total Images " + totalImages);
//click to move past the home screenI'd like to ditch this. don't know how.
homeScreen_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goNext);
function goNext(event:MouseEvent):void
nextFrame();
*/here's the output:
imageNum 1
image name (thisPortrait) images/img1.jpg
imageNum 2
image name (thisPortrait) images/img2.jpg
imageNum 3
image name (thisPortrait) images/img3.jpg
Total Images 4
Total Images 4
Total Images 4
Total Images 4
It starts the display on image 1 (the second in the series img2.jpg)*/

Thank you.
That helped. I get the correct images in the output, but not in the display. I also get the following error. Any chance you could help with that?
new output after moving the increment:
imageNum 0
image name (thisPortrait) images/img1.jpg
imageNum 1
image name (thisPortrait) images/img2.jpg
imageNum 2
image name (thisPortrait) images/img3.jpg
imageNum 3

XML Data Server and model help

All,
I have the following files
1) travel.dtd
2) travel.xml.
I've set up a XML data server with JDBC driver com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver and URL = jdbc:snps:xml?d=c:/XML/travel.dtd. I have created a model in designer and have successfully reversed the datastores generated from the dtd.
The travel.xml file has data populated within it, but when I right click on the datastores, there is nothing displayed. This makes sense because the xml server is configured to point at the .dtd. Do I need to change my topology connection to connect to the xml document as opposed to the dtd. Can someone tell me what i'm missing?
thanks for your help.

Since its not displaying anything as you are saying you just change the property to "f" and check.
Example
jdbc:snps:xml?f=/xml/myxml.xml&d=/xml/myxcd.xsd&s=MYSCHEMANAME
("s=MYSCHEMANAME": This schema will be selected when creating the physical schema under the XML data server.)
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Little help with complex XML data as data provider for chart and adg

Hi all,
I've been trying to think through a problem and Im hoping for
a little help. Here's the scenario:
I have complex nested XML data that is wrapped by subsequent
groupings for efficiency, but I need to determine if each inner
item belongs in the data collection for view in a data grid and
charts.
I've posted an example at the bottom.
So the goal here is to first be able to select a single
inspector and then chart out their reports. I can get the data to
filter from the XMLListCollection using a filter on the first layer
(ie the name of the inspector) but then can't get a filter to go
deeper into the structure in order to determine if the individual
item should be contained inside the collection. In other words, I
want to filter by inspector, then time and then tag name in order
to be able to use this data as the basis for individual series
inside my advanced data grid and column chart.
I've made it work with creating a new collection and then
looping through each time there is a change to the original
collection and updating the new collection, but that just feels so
bloated and inefficient. The user is going to have some buttons to
allow them to change their view. I'm wondering if there is a
cleaner way to approach this? I even tried chaining filter
functions together, but that didn't work cause the collection is
reset whenever the .refresh() is called.
If anyone has experience in efficiently dealing with complex
XML for charting purposes and tabular display purposes, I would
greatly appreciate your assistance. I know I can get this to work
with a bunch of overhead, but I'm seeking something elegant.
Thank you.

Hi,
Please use the code similar to below:
SELECT * FROM DO_NOT_LOAD INTO TABLE IT_DO_NOT_LOAD.
SORT IT_DO_NOT_LOAD by WBS_Key.
    IF SOURCE_PACKAGE IS NOT INITIAL.
      IT_SOURCE_PACKAGE[] = SOURCE_PACKAGE[].
LOOP AT IT_SOURCE_PACKAGE INTO WA_SOURCE_PACKAGE.
        V_SYTABIX = SY-TABIX.
        READ TABLE IT_DO_NOT_LOAD into WA_DO_NOT_LOAD
        WITH KEY WBS_Key = WA_SOURCE_PACKAGE-WBS_Key
        BINARY SEARCH.
        IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
          IF ( WA_DO_NOT_LOAD-WBS_EXT = 'A' or WA_DO_NOT_LOAD-WBS_EXT = 'B' )
          DELETE IT_SOURCE_PACKAGE INDEX V_SYTABIX.
        ENDIF.
ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
      SOURCE_PACKAGE[] = IT_SOURCE_PACKAGE[].
    ENDIF.

Help Secure your XML data - Solution-ish

Note: Possibly posting this in the wrong forum, Mods feel free to remove or correct.
This should add a small amount of deterance to someone stealing your data by
bypassing your flash .swf and just grabbing your xml file to parse themselves.
File name and variable names of course can be changed, simply keeping
with the example I'll keep them all what they should be for this
example to actually work.
** Description: This will let your change your secretValue for your
secretVariable on your flash program and not give you any downtime
when you upload your flash file with the new secretValue.
Just remember to change the values stored in your php file after
you uplaod your flash doc with the new secretValue. As people can
see the value you send to get your xml file it's not safe for long, if you
use this idea you'll have to keep up with changing your secretValue to
make it less desirable for pirates to get your info. In essance this solution
is designed to bring the end users of the data into the fold helping you decide
which ip's to potentially block or whatever action you see fit.
$current_check_value - should always be what your password for the live
flash doc is.
$when_updateFlash_check_value - should always be what your next password
will be next time you upload your flash doc.
Hope you like it.

Help required in building up the Java Bean for an XML data

Hi ,
I want to build a Java bean which will actually represent an xml data . The class will be named as User and it will typically represent the data in the follwing xml:
<user>
<cwsId>barbete</cwsId>
<firstName>William</firstName>
<lastName>Barber</lastName>
<status>true</status>
<role>
<roleCode>1000000177</roleCode>
<roleName>Customer Administrator</roleName>
</role>
<language>en</language>
<country>US</country>
<preferences>
<equipmentGroup>2717</equipmentGroup>
<dateFormat>MON-dd-yyyy</dateFormat>
<timeFormat>HH:MI AM</timeFormat>
<timeZone>-12:00</timeZone>
<daylightSavings>Y</daylightSavings>
<location>NC</location>
<recordsPerPage>10</recordsPerPage>
<historyPeriod>3</historyPeriod>
<distanceUnit>MILE</distanceUnit>
<fuelUnit>G</fuelUnit>
<unitIdDisplay>E</unitIdDisplay>
<smuUpdate>W</smuUpdate>
<countries>
<country>
<countryCode>GB</countryCode>
<countryName>UNITED KINGDOM</countryName>
</country>
<country>
<countryCode>US</countryCode>
<countryName>UNITED STATES</countryName>
</country></countries>
</preferences>
</user>
Now for single child nodes like cwsId of the main user node i have kept properties like
private String cwsId;
But i am not sure as to how to represent the nodes which contain subnodes like "preferences"node. Any ideas?What is the standard practice?

One thing you could do is create an object model first, which will contain all the data for your user.
then all you need in the bean is a Hashtable with the name of the user as a key, and the user-object (which is actually the complete object model) as a value.
with the XML stated by you, you would get an object model something like this:
Class User
    String cwsid;
    String firstName;
    ArrayList<Role> roles = new ArrayList<Role>(); //I'm assuming a user can have more then one role.
    ArrayList<Country> countries = new ArrayList<Country>();
class Role {
    String code;
    String name;
class Country {
    String code;
    String name;
}And so on for all the varioous elemets of your XML.
