How to modify build.xml ant to invoke a static init method when building?

How to modify the xml file

Hi
i am able to parse and modify the xml using DOM parser
after ever modification I am using the below code to write in the file
org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat format = new org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat(doc);
          format.setIndenting(true);
          org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer output = new org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer(new FileOutputStream(xmlFile), format);
          output.serialize(doc);
using the above code I am overwriting the entire xmlFile
is there an function that change only the required node the xml that change should me reflected in to the xml file

An XML file is really at its heart just a text file, and just like you can't simply write a change in the middle of a text file* but rather have to re-write out the entire contents, the same is true for an XML file.
* unless you use a RandomAccessFile, and know the exact position to seek, and the change doesn't cause the rest of the contents to shift, such as by adding more content or removing some. All of which are very restrictive conditions.

How to Modify Server.xml and web.xml inTomcat

Plz tell me soon...
thanking u in advance.

Take care.:)

for web.xml you need something like this, i took this from the web.xml under the examples directory in tomcat:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
servletToJsp
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
servletToJsp
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
CompressionFilterTestServlet
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
compressionFilters.CompressionFilterTestServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
</web-app>
basically you need to map the servlet with a class, for servlet-name call it whatever you like, you'll be using this name in the url to access you servlet, for the class give it the name of the class, java complied class, that's it.
server.xml is used to configure tomcat.

Thanks for your nice reply... do you have a sample code...

How to modify a xml file?

I use JAXP 1.1 to read a xml file as a DOM tree. I can make change to the DOM tree in the memory, such as add an element or change the node value, but how can I apply these changes to the source xml file, i.e., write the changes back to the disk?

you can write an xml file using DOMWriter.
copy and compile this class
and then use it:
PrintWriter printWriter = //create a printWriter form your xml file
DOMWriter writer = new DOMWriter(printWriter);
writer.print(myXml.toString());

How to parse a XML stream sent to servlet with PUT method

Hi,
I have to interface my servlet app with other apps communicating with XML.
This way, My servlet will receive a XML stream in the http request, parse it and send back a XML message.
What I've done is :
An html page to send a XML File with a put method :
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="PUT" action="http://localhost:8080/MyApp/servlet/TestUploadServlet">
     <input type="file" size="20" name="FileToUpload" value="Select File">
     <input type="submit" name="UploadFile" value="Upload">
     <input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
A servlet TestUploadServlet with :
SAXParser parser = new SAXParser( );
Trace.traceLine( "SAXParser" );
parser.setContentHandler (this);
try {
parser.parse( new InputSource( requete.getInputStream() ) );
catch (SAXException e) {
Trace.traceLine( e.getMessage() );
catch (IOException e) {
Trace.traceLine( e.getMessage() );
and the methods startElement, stopElement and other to work with the elements detected by the parser (already used by other programs parsing local xml files).
And it doesn't work.
is the html code is a good way to send a file in the http Put method ?
is the parser.parse( new InputSource( requete.getInputStream() ) ); a good method to read the stream ?
please help.

I think the problemn comes from the method used to send the <XML> stream.
Using an html form doesn't seem to be a good method.
I tried several methods or examples found and none of them seems to work.
here is another example in the servlet side :
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
ServletOutputStream output = res.getOutputStream();
output.println("ContentType: " + req.getContentType() + "<BR>");
int content_length = req.getContentLength();
output.println("ContentLength: " + content_length + "<BR>");
if(content_length > 0) {
output.println("Content: ");
ServletInputStream input = req.getInputStream();
byte [] buffer = new byte[1024];
int nb;
while((nb=input.read(buffer))!= -1) {
output.write(buffer,0,nb);
Can somebody tell me how to write a java code sending a http request with the content of a file in the content of the request ?

How to modify Data Template ARXSGPO.xml

We are on EBS 12.1.1. My client want to customize AR Customer Balance Statement Letter. They need rtf to be modified as well as some additional info for which I need to modify Data Template ARXSGPO.xml .
But I am not able to modify above xml file. Update File button has been disabled. Could someone tell me how I can update existing xml file ?
Thanks in Advance

Hi
You could use the XDOLoader command to upload data templates.
http://bipublisher.blogspot.com/2008/01/bi-publisher-xdo-loader.html
But it would be better if you could create a custom report and attach the new date template, instead of modifying the standard report.

How to find and modify underlying XML Template for a OA Framework page

Env: R12
There is a standard OA Framework page in Purchasing that can be reached by
Purchasing Manager > Buyer Work Center > Orders > Search for a specific PO > Open the PO Page
Then Open the PO Details page for what you searched
Now in the PO Details Page, On the right hand top corner is a drop down list for Actions > View PDF
This generates a PDF output of the PO, PO Details and the terms and conditions.
I want to modify this pdf. ( Change the template and add/remove a few columns)
I believe that this is an XML Pub report running in the background but how to find out what report is running and how to modify its template ??

How to modify XML to copy items

Hi,
i need to copy from itemcode "XX" to itemcode "YY". i save it with XML as:
Dim oBI As SAPbobsCOM.Items
oBI = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oItems)
oBI.SaveXML(sFileXml)
I need to modify XML because i must change ItemCode and then add the new item
<ItemCode>XX</ItemCode>
???<ItemCode>YY</ItemCode>
How can i do this?
Thanks
Valentina

I am trying to do the exact same thing right now. I am having moderate success with oItem.GetAsXML into a string, then using REPLACE to change the itemcode value (it exists in about 18 places, for me, because the XML gives you other stuff, like the contents of OITW).
Then I just write my string to a temp file and bring it back in to the new object and do the add. Here's my code:
           tempXML = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName()
            'retrieve template item object's xml into string
            itemObjectXML = zTmpltItm.GetAsXML
            'replace the template item code with the new one
            itemObjectXML = Replace(itemObjectXML, String.Format(ItemCodeXML, zTmpltItm.ItemCode), _
                            String.Format(ItemCodeXML, zNewCode))
            'replace the template item code with the new one
          itemObjectXML = Replace(itemObjectXML, String.Format(ItemNameXML, zTmpltItm.ItemName), _
                String.Format(ItemNameXML, zNewName))
         'some other code...
            'save the template to disk
            sw = New System.IO.StreamWriter(tempXML, False)
            sw.WriteLine(itemObjectXML)
            sw.Close()
            'retrieve the new item's xml into a new item object for adding to the DB
            oNewItem = oCompany.GetBusinessObjectFromXML(tempXML, 0)
            'oNewItem.ItemCode = zNewCode
            'oNewItem.ItemName = zNewName
            retval = oNewItem.Add
            If retval <> 0 Then
The one thing I wonder about is how large can the XML string end up being. I think .net has a 32K limit, but the GetAsXML function does return a string.
I'm doing this in 2007 and I have a problem with some of the values returned, however (like the SHGHT1Unit field). I have a separate post for that one.
I don't know if my way is "best practice" or even advisable, but I do have it working.
PS: you've got to have this statement before doing the xml copying:
oCompany.XmlExportType = SAPbobsCOM.BoXmlExportTypes.xet_ExportImportMode
