An External Library DC is only intended to include jars. Using a Java DC may be a better idea, unless you put your xml files into a jar first (but you'd need a Java DC for that...).

How to access XML files on public part of an external library DC?

Hi,
I would like to put xml and xsd files into a public part of an external library DC, so that I can access these files within other DCs. But I don't know the path which I have to use in the other DCs, e.g. for creating a File object from such xml or xsd files. What do I have to do to get this running?
I'm using NetWeaver CE 7.2 for Java.
Thanks in advance for your help!

HOw to update XML file residing in DAM by component JSP in run-time?

i have made a component which reads xml file residing in DAM.
Content Author can fill some values in dialog of this component, as soon as author provide the values,i have to update these values in XML file and component reloadsby reading the updated xml file.
i am trying to achieve this by making object of XML file and giving it's path., but i ma unable to access the XML file.
Can anyone help me out to how to update XML file by component JSP in run-time?

Now the changed data must be exported back into the XML file, meaning that the content of certain elements must be updated. How can this be done with XSLT?
XSLT approach: check these online tutorial
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/08/02/xslt/index.html
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/06/07/transforming/index.html
ABAP approach:
for example you have the xml (original) in a string called say xml_out .
data: l_xml type ref to cl_xml_document ,
        node type ref to if_ixml_node .
create object l_xml.
call method l_xml->parse_string
exporting
    stream = xml_out.
node = l_xml->find_node(
    name   = 'IDENTITY'
   ROOT   = ROOT
l_xml->set_attribute(
    name    = 'Name'
    value   = 'Charles'
    node    = node
(the above example reads the element IDENTITY and sets attribute name/value to the same)
like wise you can add new elements starting from IDENTITY using various methods available in class CL_XML_DOCUMENT
so how do I access the XML file in order to update it?
you have already read this XML into a ABAP variable right?
Sorry couldnt understand your whole process, why do you need to read local XML file?

How to read xml file as shown below.

Hello,
I am using flash builder 4 and currently working on implementing AIR application.
I need to read xml file data.
Normal xml files are easy to read and i am much more aware of it.
But can any one have idea how to read XML file which is given below.
<node>
<key>ID</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>Name</key>
<string>Dhwani</string>
<key>Postno</key>
<integer>20</integer>
<key>deskname</key>
<string>flex</string>
<key>empid</key>
<integer>25</integer>
<key>projectname</key>
<string>abc</string>
</node>
Here i have xml file in form of key value pair. <key> node shows name of the key and after that <integer> or <string> node are the value for that specific key.
if i select node.key then it shows me all the keys. and from that i cant make out what is the value for key ID.
Is there any way to take first node and then second. i mean first i ll take value of key and store it into some arraycollection. and then value will be stored.
Any help is appreciated.. Looking for positive reply.
Thanks

How to map XML File input to VO (eventually to update table) upon fileupld

Reqirement: I am downloading an XML File (basically name-value pair) from user using OAMessageFileUploadBean. I need to take this file and update to an existing record in the table (cs_incidents_all). XML File schema is well-known in advance.
Approach: Don't know what is the best, but I'm thinking if there is an OAF way to map the XML File (Blobdomain) to VO and get the rowIMPL.getColumn1Value to fetch all the datavalues then loop thru all the columns (xml-tags) and finally call plsql APIs which will update/insert into table (cs_incidents_all)
Is this possible in OAF? If so please shed some light as to how to map XML File to VO.
If this is not possible then please let me know the other way. I have to do this inside the oaf.
Thank you,

Can someone please let me know if this is possible in OAF?

Validating xml-files inside jar-files for JWS

I want to use xml-files inside a jar-file and want to validate them with dtd-files,
located in the same jar-file. This does work, but only as long as the dtd-file is
in the same directory as the xml-file.
For example, I have no problem, with a DOC Type-statement like
<!DOCTYPE questestinterop SYSTEM "ims_qtiv1p1.dtd" >
With this statement, however, one needs an approprate dtd in every directory containing an XML-file of that type.
If however i want to gather the necessary dtd's in a directory one (or more) levels above with a DOCTYPE-statement of the form
<!DOCTYPE questestinterop SYSTEM "../ims_qtiv1p1.dtd" >
I get error messages of the form
java.io.FileNotFoundException: JAR entry Mikro/Marshall/BookQuestions/../ims_qtiv1p1.dtd not found in C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\wreiss\Anwendungsdaten\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dwiwi.upb.de\P80\DM~vwl08\DMOViSS\DMoviss_current\RMMikro.jar

     at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(Unknown Source)
     at oviss.competenceCenter.XMLExpert.setElements(XMLExpert.java:245)
though the dtd-file is in the parent-directory (inside the jar) and the unpacked xml-file can be successfully validated.
Why does this happen. How can one use a single dtd for multiple xml-files (of the same type) in different directories?.
Thanks

In reply to myself, replacing the HTMLBrowser constructor with this;
public HTMLBrowser()
              URL url;
              try
                   // Construct the URL
                   url= this.getClass().getResource('/'+dir+'/'+startPage);
                   setPage(url);
              catch (Exception e)
              System.out.println( "Problem setting help homepage");
             setEditable(false);
             addHyperlinkListener(new LinkListener(this));
        }made it work. This is because seemingly you need '/' at the start of the resouce's path and '/' as the separator, regardless of platform.
I hope this helps someone else.

Access XML files from HTTP

Hi,
I need access XML file from HTTP. Server need parameters in the URL to generate XML files. For example, http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321.
I created a XML Data Server in ODI 11g. The JDBC Url should be jdbc:snps:xml?f=<filename>&s=<schema>&d=<DTD>.
However, it reports error when replaced the <filename> with "http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321".
I found it's caused by ampersand of the HTTP Url. I guess ODI treat custid=321 as JDBC parameter rather than HTTP parameter.
How to fill the JDBC Url in this situation?
Thanks,

i solved my problem by using the Socket object and controlling my file access by writing requests to the outputstream

How to read XML file kept on NON-SAP server using the Http URL ?

Dear Experts,
I am working on CRM2007 web UI. I need to read a XML file placed on a shared server location by a third party program. Then process that XML file into CRM and create a quotation using the data extracted from the file.
All i have with me is the http URL that points to the location of the file.
I am supposed to read the file , create quotation and at later point of time i would be asked to update the quotation and then generated new XML representing updated quotation and replace the XML file on shared server location with this new updated XML file.
I know how to extract data from XML file into ABAP but i have no clue as to how to access the file on some other server using the http url i have and how to read it ?
I searched on the forum and i found the codes for reading XML file that is located either on client machine OR on the Application server wheareas my file is on some other than sap application server.
Please help me as its an urgent issue .
Points will be rewarded for sure.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Suchita.
p.s. : the http url to the file location is like -->
http://SomeServerDomain/SomeDirectory/file.xml

hi,
interesting task.
to request the file by a http call you need to create an if_http_client object.
More info is [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/e5/4d350bc11411d4ad310000e83539c3/frameset.htm]
to parse the file you either have to work with the ixml packages ([info|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/47/b5413acdb62f70e10000000a114084/content.htm]) or you use an XSLT transformation ([info|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/a8/824c3c66177414e10000000a114084/content.htm]).
uploading the final file isn't so easy. if you only have http, you should write a server script to allow uploading of the new file and copying it into the place of the old file. but you definitely need the script.
now it's your take. depending on how experienced you are in ABAP and networking this might turn out to be easy or pretty complicated.
have fun,
anton

Is XML adapter should be installed in BODS server in order to access XML files?

How to access XML elements by name in Extendscript??

I'm almost done the script that I've been working on, but something has been nagging me since I started. When I did start, I looked at the JS Tools Guide CS5 that comes with the extendscript ide to check how to access XML elements, children, attributes etc. It says this:
The XML object represents an XML element node in an XML tree. The topmost XML object for an XML file
represents the root node. It acts as a list, which contains additional XML objects for each element. These in
turn contain XML objects for their own member elements, and so on.
The child elements of an element tree are available as properties of the XML object for the parent. The
name of the property corresponds to the name of the element. Each property contains an array of XML
objects, each of which represents one element of the named type.
So basically it converts the XML into JSON. And you can access the properties like so:
<book category="COOKING">
     <title lang="en">The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook</title>
     <author>Fannie Merrit Farmer</author>
     <year>1896</year>
     <price>49.99</price>
</book>
The Javascript statement bookstoreXML.book; returns the entire list of books.
The statement bookstoreXML.book[0]; returns the XML object for the first book.
The statement bookstoreXML.book[0].author; returns all authors of the first book.
A couple pages down it talks about Retrieving contained elements using children(), elements(), descendants().
So now I look through the XML Object properties and I see that I can use:
xmlObj.child (which) which A String, the element name, or a Number, a 0-based index into this node’s child array.
or
xmlObj.descendants ([name])
name Optional. A String, the element name to match. If not provided, matches all
elements.
or
xmlObj.elements (name);
name Optional. A String, the element name to match. If not provided, matches all
elements.
This is an excerpt of an XML I was working with:
<ROW xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult"
     MODID="16"
     RECORDID="11128">
   <Sign_Type>251.dr</Sign_Type>
   <fm:Location xmlns:fm="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult" xmlns="">5-5024</fm:Location>
   <Line1>Zone
Floor
3
Patient Rooms
R532 - R436 even
Patient Rooms
R522 - R446 even
Xavier Elevators
Zone
Patient Rooms
R537 - 5757 odd
Main Elevators
Zone</Line1>
</ROW>
Extendscript will not give me an anything when I try to access elements by name. Instead I have to access by index, which works, but I'd rather search for names!
Actually the console log returns: <![CDATA[]]>
What am I doing wrong!?

First, those E4X XML objects are definitely no JSON (plain data) - they have a multitude of methods, even for tasks that would easily be implemented as property (e.g. the length() function), and they also bind xml element and attribute names onto the objects, allowing to target a multitude of XML nodes with a single statement. Or did you mean your script with that "it"?
Anyway, as you found out the ExtendScript XML object handles namespaces mostly by hiding them from you.
You could play around with global namespace settings, see the JavaScript tools guide.
You could also explicitly specify a namespace. This works for me:
$.writeln(myXML["fm:Location"]);
For simple use I had most success with a brute force approach that just strips the namespaces.
function removeAllNamespace(xml)
          var ns =new Namespace();
          var d=xml.descendants();
          for (var i=0;i<d.length();i++)
    d[i].setNamespace(ns);
