How to get ISO-8859 characters from DOM ?

Hi,
I have problems to get the ISO-8859 characters from the DOM. I parse a XML file and read the values from the DOM. All "umlauts" are scrambled.
The details:
The first line of the XML file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
It contains lines like:
<tag>Dpfel</tag>
I perform the following steps:
I'm parsing the XML file ...
xmlparser.parse( parser, full_fname_xml );
... get the document ...
doc := xmlparser.getDocument( parser );
... and read the value from the TEXT_NODE:
nodevalue := xmlparser.getNodeValue( node );
And here is the problem: nodevalue does
not contain 'Dpfel' but '?pfel'.
Its not a problem of the database. Explizit INSERTs with "umlauts" e.g. are working fine.
This problem occurs with the XML Parser for PLSQL 1.0.0.1.0 on NT.
[Pls do not recommend to use the newer version. I did a test with the newer version and know it works there.]
My questions relates only to this older version:
Will it never work with this version
or what am I doing wrong ?
Any hints welcome !
Tnx

Tnx for the quick answer.
Sorry, indeed I can not use the newer
version in the moment.
So I urgently need a solution or any
workaround for this version.

How to get UTF-8 Characters from HTML to Java?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up an application that will allow display and entry of international data from HTML forms via servlets. The problem is that I can't get the data back into a java string to apply to the DBMS.
I have tried using UTF-8 and specific character sets such as ISO-8859-5 (Russian). I have specified these character sets/encodings as follows:
HTML: meta content-type header charset=xxx and <form accept-charset=xxx
Servlet Response: setLocale(appropriate locale) and setContentType("text/html; charset=xxx") prior to calling response.getWriter()
Servlet Request: setCharacterEncoding("xxx") (e.g. servlet 2.3)
When I use request.getParameter(xxx) I get normal characters (a, b, c) and nothing for international characters or sometimes question marks.
I have also tried various combinations of:
new String(request.getParameter("xxx").getBytes("xxx"),"xxx")
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
TIA

Thanks for all of your suggestions. It still refuses to work.
I entered the following: ��^�E on the HTML form using the Chinese(PRC)keyboard on my Win2K box.
I checked and verified the correct encoding in the servlet request (GB2312 for chinese characters)
request.getParameter(xxx) yields ???
new String(request.getParameter(xxx).getBytes("GB2312")) yields three boxes (values 20309, 27946 and 23380)
new String(request.getParameter(xxx).getBytes("GB2312"), "UTF-8") yields nothing
Any ideas?

How to get all the values from the dropdown menu

How to get all the values from the dropdown menu
I need to be able to extract all values from the dropdown menu; I know how to get all those values as a string, but I need to be able to access each item; (the value in a dropdown menu will change dynamically)
How do I get number of item is selection dropdown?
How do I extract a ?name? for each value, one by one?
How do I change a selection by referring to particular index of the item in a dropdown menu?
Here is the Path to dropdown menu that I'm trying to access (form contains number of similar dropdowns)
RSWApp.om.GetElementByPath "window(index=0).form(id=""aspnetForm"" | action=""advancedsearch.aspx"" | index=0).formelement[SELECT](name=""ctl00$MainContent$hardwareBrand"" | id=""ctl00_MainContent_hardwareBrand"" | index=16)", element
Message was edited by: testtest

The findElement method allows various attributes to be used to search. Take the following two examples for the element below:
<Select Name=ProdType ID=testProd>
</Select>
I can find the element based on its name or any other attribute, I just need to specify what I am looking for. To find it by name I would do the following:
Set x = RSWApp.om.FindElement("ProdType","SELECT","Name")
If I want to search by id I could do the following:
Set x = RSWApp.om.FindElement("testProd","SELECT","ID")
Usually you will use whatever is available. Since the select element has no name or ID on the Empirix home page, I used the onChange attribute. You can use any attribute as long as you specify which one you are using (last argument in these examples)
You can use the FindElement to grab links, text boxes, etc.
The next example grabs from a link on a page
Home
Set x = RSWApp.om.FindElement("Home","A","innerText")
I hope this helps clear it up.

Hi,
What kind of web page do you have? Do you have possibility to for example make RFCs? Then you could trigger events (with parameters that could "return" the values) and the workflow could react to those events. For example your task can have terminating events.

Thanks
Basu

Hi
Thanks, that will work, but then I'll have to insert code into all my reports.
I can see that "Application Server Control Console" is able to rerun a report.
This must mean that the Report Server has access to the runtime parameters.
But how?
Cheers

How to get auto proxy configuration from plugin?

I need to retrieve the name of the client's proxy server to pass it along to my signed applet (because it doesn't seem to be getting the information automatically despite the fact that the java plugin is set to the use the browser settings for proxies).
The Java Plugin loads the proxy server information based on the browser preferences, but I haven't figured out how to retrieve that proxy information from the Plugin itself. Sometimes the javaplugin.proxy.auto.url system property is null, even if the browser (MSIE) is configured to use an auto-configuration script/url for the proxy server configuration. I can see in the Java Console that the plugin knows the auto-config url, so how can I access that property from within my applet?
Even if javaplugin.proxy.auto.url is not null, I don't know how to call the javascript function at that URL from within the applet to get the proxy server host name and port.
Does anyone know how to get the proxy information from the plugin?

Thank you! Indeed, the answer was there, but I hadn't been able to find it earlier (I guess I was searching on the wrong forums). For those who might be interested, here's the thread that helped:

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. I've been playing around with some of the classes of the java.net package and java.io
Using the URL class i can get the content of the data from a STATIC page and output that response to file so that is does not display to the client broswer.
But this only works if the URL i give points to a static html page.
So the problem i'm getting is if i'm righting in arguments in the URL, this means that server needs to process the arguments i give and its sends back a dynamic result. Because its dynamic the URL class can not handle this and throws me an exception everytime :(
Have u ever tried to do some things like this?

How to get RMAN catalog information from Target database?

Hi,
How to get RMAN catalog information from Target database because i don't know about catalog database? is it possible?
Thanks

If you run RMAN backups of a target database using a Catalog schema in another database, the target is not aware of the catalog.
The RMAN backup script would have the connection identifier for the Catalog.
