How to make the tags in XML file case insensitive

Hi,
I have a ReadXML class which reads an xml file. This class also has a method which receives a string-child from another class and uses this string-chile to match it with the child tag in the xml file, and returns the child tag's value.
Now, my problem is this, the child tag in xml may be in a case different from the case of the string-child received from another class.
How do I modify it, so the program does not return a null pointer exception because the strings did not match for want of uppercase or lowercase letters.
Thanks
Sangeetha

I'm not sure what you are getting at. Is a string child the contents of a node treated as text?
If you are trying to match a child node regardless of case I doubt this is possible as the XML standard says an XML document is case sensitive so if your parser ignored case it would not be XML complient.
Hope this helps.

  • How to read the contents of XML file from my java code

    All,
    I created an rtf report for one of my EBS reports. Now I want to email this report to several people. Using Tim's blog I implemented the email part. I am sending emails to myself based on the USERID logic.
    However I want to email to different people other then me. My email addresses are in the XML file.
    From the java program which sends the email, how can I read the fields from XML file. If any one has done this, Please point me to the right examples.
    Please let me know if there are any exmaples/BLOG's which explain how to do this(basically read the contents of XML file in the Java program).

  • How to send the dynamically generated XML file to other site for further processing?

    I have a question regarding exchanging data between two systems
    using XSQL servlet. The situation is descrbed as the follows:
    Assume that we have a simple XSQL page named "emp.xsql"
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <?-- XSQL page file "emp.xsql" -->
    <xsql:query xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" connection="demo" >
    SELECT * FROM EMP
    </xsql:query>
    and we can access it through the HTTP request likes
    http://web_server_name/xsql/emp.xsql.
    Usually we will the returned dynamic XML file and show it on the
    screen. Now the problem is that we don't want to show the
    generated XML file on the calling screen. Instead, we want to
    send the generated XML file to other website for further
    processing, say, using JSP or ASP likes
    http://other_web_server_name/XMLProcessing.jsp?.....
    How can it be implemented using XSQL servlet?
    Any hint and outline of the solution is appreciated.

  • How to make the Installer place support files in specific folder

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use the LabVIEW2009 installer for the first time. I haven't used any earlier ones, so my understanding is limited. I have created a project and an executable and wish to direct the installer to place some groups of files in a number of directories other than the one in which the executable goes. On the Source Files page I can see a number of Folder descriptions in square brackets. I don't understand how to use these. Are they to be set up to point to specific directories? If so how?
    So far I have managed to create an installer which puts all the support files from the project in a single directory. My attempts to select a subset of files within the Project View window and place them in a separate directory were not allowed since they are treated as an indivisible group. Basically i don't know enough about the installer and my searches for information have only yielded very basic information.
    If anyone can help by supplying or pointing to more detailed information I'd be most grateful.
    Thanks
    George
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi George
    This is from the LV help:
    Destination View—Specifies the location and directory structure of the files when they are installed. Select an item from the Project View tree and click the arrow button or drag the file to the Destination View tree to include it in the installer directory structure. You can drag multiple files at the same time. Click the buttons below the Destination View tree to add, remove, and rename folders in the directory. You also can right-click the folders and select a command from the shortcut menu.
    The folders in the Destination View directory that do not have an LV prefix correspond to Microsoft Installer (MSI) properties that install files in the following locations.
    [CommonAppDataFolder]—Files you include in this folder install to the Application Data folder.
    [CommonFilesFolder]—Files you include in this folder install to the Common Files folder.
    [DesktopFolder]—Files you include in this folder install to the Windows desktop of the current Windows user.
    [LVxxRTEDIR]—Where xx is the LabVIEW version currently in use. Files you include in this folder install to the folder of the Run-Time Engine for the LabVIEW version currently in use.
    [LVDIR]—Files you include in this folder install to the folder of the LabVIEW version currently in use.
    You can find a full list of the MSI properties here. Scroll down to "System Folder Properties"

    For the first time when i complied i got the errors as :
    Procedure RIDB.PROCEDURE1@RIDB
    Error(16,14): PLS-00201: identifier 'UTL_FILE' must be declared
    Error(16,14): PL/SQL: Item ignored
    Error(29,1): PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
    Error(29,1): PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    Error(33,1): PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    Error(33,19): PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
    Error(36,1): PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    Error(36,17): PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
    So i logged in as sys & grant the permission to execute on UTL_FILE to ridb (user):
    SQL Statement:
    grant execute on utl_file to ridb
    So, it got compiled successfully but when i execute it gives me error as:
    Source does not have a runnable target.
    What does this mean?
    So I browse through forum & i got to know that i need to initial the UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject" in init.ora
    So can i edit the init.ora with notepad.When i tried to do that it says permission denied
    In my system it shows the init.ora file in path C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\scripts
    but there is also other file initXETemp in the same path do i need to do the changes in it.
    I have tried even editing the SPFILE as mentioned below:
    C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEEXE - I had edit this file using notepad & set the value of UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject". So next time when i restarted i'm unable to log on to the database.
    So i had reinstall the software again.
    Could you please let me know how to proceed..

    hi,
    I have created the directory from sys database
    CREATE or replace DIRECTORY XML_DIR2 AS 'C:\OracleProject';
    & grant read,write access to the user
    grant read,write on directory XML_DIR2 to RIDB;
    & i had change the tag name in the xml file as shown below:
    <?xml version = '1.0'?>
    <metadata>
    <Zipcodes>
    <mappings Record="4">
    <STABBRE>CA</STABBRE>
    <ZIPCODE>94301</ZIPCODE>
    </mappings>
    <mappings Record="5">
    <STABBRE>CO</STABBRE>
    <ZIPCODE>80323</ZIPCODE>
    <ZIPCODEEXT>9277</ZIPCODEEXT>
    </mappings>
    </Zipcodes>
    </metadata>
    TRIALZIPCODE table as shown below:
    CREATE TABLE "RIDB"."TRIALZIPCODE"
    (     "STABBRE" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
         "ZIPCODE" NUMBER(*,6) NOT NULL ENABLE,
         "ZIPCODEEXT" NUMBER
    ) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING
    STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
    PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
    TABLESPACE "USERS" ;
    I have tried two methods as shown below:
    Procedure 1:
    create or replace
    PROCEDURE TRIAL_V2 AS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE
    -- declare attributes
    charString varchar2(80);
    finalStr varchar2(4000) := null;
    rowsp integer;
    v_FileHandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
    l_context_handle dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
    insCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;
    cnt NUMBER;
    xmldoc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('XML_DIR2','trialxml.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
    --XML_DIR VARCHAR2(40) := 'C:\\OracleProject';
    BEGIN
    insCtx := DBMS_XMLStore.newContext('DEV.TRIALZIPCODES');
    DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx, 'STABBRE');
    DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx, 'ZIPCODE');
    DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdatecolumn(insCtx, 'ZIPCODEEXT');
    DBMS_XMLStore.setRowTag(insCtx, 'mappings');
    cnt := DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML(insCtx, xmldoc);
    DBMS_XMLStore.closeContext(insCtx);
    END;
    Procedure 1 was compiled with out errors but when i execute i got the error as :
    Source does not have a runnable target.
    Procedure 2_
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TRIAL_V3 AS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE
    -- declare attributes
    charString varchar2(80);
    finalStr varchar2(4000) := null;
    rowsp integer;
    v_FileHandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
    l_context_handle dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
    insCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;
    cnt NUMBER;
    xmldoc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('XML_DIR2','trialxml.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
    --XML_DIR VARCHAR2(40) := 'C:\\OracleProject';
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO trialzipcode (STABBRE, ZIPCODE, ZIPCODEEXT)
    SELECT extractvalue(x.column_value, 'mappings/STABBRE'),
    extractvalue(x.column_value, 'mappings/ZIPCODE'),
    extractvalue(x.column_value, 'mappings/ZIPCODEEXT')
    FROM TABLE(
    XMLSequence(
    EXTRACT(
    xmltype( bfilename('XML_DIR2','trialxml.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') ),
    'metadata/Zipcodes/mappings'
    ) x
    END;
    END TRIAL_V3;
    Procedure 2 was complied without errors but when i execute i got the error as:
    Connecting to the database RIDB.
    ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
    The system cannot find the file specified.

    Could you please let me know how to proceed...
