How to parse a raw string that returns an XML file?

Guys,
Good day!
I was assign to work on this but I did'nt know what to start. Please help me. The Problem is something like this:
xml-file = pword(raw data string, token interpretation string)
returns an XML file of:
token type,
token (value),
position in file
token terminator - condition that broke the type
the format of the XML file is:
<tokenizer date=mm/dd/yyyy file="name">
<Token position=###>
<type> quoted String </type>
<tokenValue> "here" </tokenValue>
<terminator> unquote </terminator>
<position> #### </position>
</Token>
</Tokens>
I need your suggestions and idea bout this. Thanks in advance.

Strings don't "return files", and XML parsing is pretty much the same, regardless of source. So, what is it you're trying to do?

A web service that returns a xml file and gets another xml file as input?

Hi,
I want to create a web service which gets an xml document as input then returns again an xml document.How can I create this kind of web service?
Is this kind of implementation is possible?
public Document mywebservice(Document input){
Document d;
return d;
or do I have to use serialization processes which I don't know very much.
I am waiting for your help.Thank you...

If you want to deal directly with the Document and not want the SOAP engine to serialize/deserialize the XML into Java objects, then you can easliy implement this using Axis. Look at the Axis documentation (http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html#ServiceStylesRPCDocumentWrappedAndMessage) under the heading "Message Services". One of the provided API methods that Axis provides is in the form you want: public Document method(Document body). Hope that helps. As for how to implement the service using Axis, that is beyond the scope of this forum. Check the Axis docs for more help on that.

Add carriage return in XML file

Hi,
I found a topic that correspond to my requirement :
[Add carriage return in XML file|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/HowtoappendCarriageReturnintheendofeachtagofxml+file]
But i don't know where created this udf, which input parameter pass?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Frantzy,
The link does not give enough explanation. What I am assuming is if you have xml string in one field then if you need to add new line after each tag then you can follow that.
If you want a udf where you want to insert a new line use this udf:
Create a Value UDF with one input argument 'a' and name the udf as addnewline. Then add this code:
Imports: java.*;
String lines;
lines = "";
lines = lines.concat(a + '\n' );
return lines;
Then where ever you want a new line just add this udf in your mapping. If you want a new line for 10 fields then you can put in all the 10 fields.
Example:
Source field --> logic --> udf (addnewline) --> target.
So after logic if you have the value as 123 then in the target you will see 123 followed by a carriage return.

How can I delete only one part of my xml file?

Hello,
I stored more than 100 users in only one xmltype column. For instance
Create table agro(users XMLTYPE);
... and I inserted all users inside
INSERT INTO agro values(XMLTYPE
('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<authentication><users><user>
<name>cocoon</name>
<password>cocoon</password>
<role>admin</role>
<title>Mr.</title>
<firstname>Walter</firstname>
<lastname>Cocoon</lastname>
<company />
<street />
<zipcode />
<city />
<country>DE</country>
<phone />
<fax />
<email />
<bankid />
<bankname />
<accountid />
</user>
... another user, etc.
</users></authentication>'));
Now I tried to delete only one part of this file. For example all persons with the name"cocoon".
I used for this target the following statement:
DELETE FROM agro agro
WHERE agro.users.extract('authentication/users/user/text()').getStringVal()= 'cocoon';
When I execute this statement, Oracle DB delete all users and not only with the name "Cocoon".
How can I delete only one part of my xml file?
Kind Regards
M R

This the expected behavoir. You uploaded a document containing multiple users and then asked XML DB to delete any documnet that contained a user with the name in question. The problem here is that you are creating a mega document that contains an aggregation of user documents but then trying to work with individual user documents. This is a bad idea.
In general XML does not understand the concept of a collection of documents. It can only operate on one document at a time. Hence the tendancy to aggregate individual documents into a single larger document. Once you have an XML database, you can perform operations on collections of document, as easily as you can perform operations on individual documents, so the need to aggregate the individual documents together disappears.
If you store each user document as a seperate document then your delete will work as expected.

XI doesn't return an xml file

Hi,
I've made a scenario using XI 3.0. I use a file adapter with an inbound synchronous interface to send a xml file to XI. XI consumes a function from CRM using a RFC adapter and an outbound synchronous interface. I've setted "Best Effort" as quality of service too.
The xml file arrives correctly to CRM and CRM returns the BAPI result to XI correctly too. The problem is XI doesn't return the xml file which it should, that's to say, the xml file sent by XI isn't in the specified target directory (using an inbound synchronous interface and a XI adapter).
Could someone explain me what happens?
Thanks in advance,
Samantha.

Hi Samantha,
bad news: File Adapter is always asynchronous, cant get any response. And if you use an interface to send data it is an outbound interface.
To realize your business logic you must use BPM like
file (outbound asynchronous) -> BP (abstract asynchronous)
BP (abstract synchronous) <-> CRM (inbound synchronous)
BP (abstract asynchronous) -> file (inbound asynchronous)

How would I do a http post with a xml file

How would I do a http post with a xml file.
I have a url called https://localhost:8443/wss/WSS and the XML file is sent as part of the HTTP POST body.
How would I send this XML file when posting?

most people just add feedback to the comments they've asked about already, rather than ignoring all the feedback and making a new post with the exact same information:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5247331&messageID=10020973#10020973
If you want to add in an XML file to a POST command, you'd add it just like any other file you'd attach to a post request, especially (if you're request is the same as your last post) if you're just doing a jsp page. I'd do it something like this:
<form method=POST ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="https://rcpdm.mnb.gd-ais.com/Windchill/servlet/IE/tasks/DJK/fcsAddContentComplete.xml">
<H3> File Name </H3>
<input type=file name=filename>
<input type=submit value="Do it!">
</form>Then again, this solution has literally nothing to do with java, and you still need to make sure that your servlet knows what to actually do with that information you're sending it.

Insert SWF that calls external XML files and images

Hi
I am using Acrobat XI Pro on a Windows 7 system.
I have a PDF in which I have an SWF file. This SWF file contains text content that is called from an XML file and also some images that is called externally. I have added the folder that contains the XML file and the images by right-clicking the SWF > Properties > Resources > Add Directory. However, none of the content is loading.
I have tried adding the images and xml file separately as well. Even that did not work.
What could be wrong? Please advise.
Sreekanth

Debugging Flash content in a PDF from the Flash Pro or Flex editor is possible, but it's complicated (you need to juggle about with the SDK to load a special Acrobat plugin). If you're creating these SWFs yourself, the fastest way to debug is to add a bunch of ActionScript calls that report to Acrobat's console to tell you what's going on. Use ActionScript's externalInterface.call() and the Acrobat JS console.println() functions, just like if you were talking to JavaScript in a web page.
Rich media resources cannot be imported globally in Acrobat. In theory it's possible (the ISO standard allows XObject references to shared assets) but there's no authoring tool.

How Do I Convert a String that Names an Object to a Reference to the Object

You get many program-specific object names in the XML that is returned by describeType. Suppose I find an object that interests me. What is the best way to convert the String that names the object (e.g. the id of the object) to a reference variable that points to the object?

Sure. I am working on a complex application that involves several ViewStacks, several Accordions, some checkboxes, some radio buttons, some text boxes. These components are scattered about, but all are children of a base class that is successfully enumerated by
var classInfo:XML = describeType(vwstk);
Suppose I write a loop as follows:
for each (var a:XML in classInfo..accessor){
Inside that loop I have a series of tests like
if (a.@type == "mx.controls::CheckBox"{
Then, I iterate thru all of the children of the base class as in:
for
(var u:Object in vwstk)
{ if
Inside the if I persist the checked/not checked status of the checkbox.
The tricky part is going from the string a.@name to the Object reference u. I doubt my proposed method will work. Do you have a better idea?

How do I tranform a string that was strored in binary/hex in SQL back to hex/binary to store it in another location

I have a local database where the password is stored as binary for security. I do not want the original. I need to be able to restore a person's password if they don't login for a long time (two onths or more...the system deletes their password).
If I store the binary/hex password by name, I should be able restore the hex/binary to the table and they can login. How do I convert the string back to a hex value to set into the tble again ?

I have a local database where the password is stored as binary for security.
That's not secure, never store passwords, use (store) only hash (+salt) values for compare:

How to parse a delimited string and insert into different columns?

Hi Experts,
I need to parse a delimited string ':level1_value:level2_value:level3_value:...' to 'level1_value', 'level2_value', etc., and insert them into different columns of one table as one row:
Table_Level (Level1, Level2, Level3, ...)
I know I can use substr and instr to get level value one by one and insert into Table, but I'm wondering if there's better ways to do it?
Thanks!

The "bar" or "pipe" symbol is a special character, also called a metacharacter.
If you want to use it as a literal in a regular expression, you will need to escape it with a backslash character (\).

PS - it works for semi-colon character ";" because it is not a metacharacter. So its literal value is considered by the regex engine for matching.

I want to load large raw XML file in firefox and parse by DOM. But, for large XML file the firefox very slow some time crashed . Is there any option to increase DOM handling memory in Firefox

Actually i am using an off-line form to load very large XML file and using firefox to load that form. But, its taking more time to load and some time the browser crashed. through DOM parsing this XML file to my form. Is there any option to increase DOM handler size in firefox

Thank you for your suggestion. I have a question,
though. If I use a relational database and try to
access it for EACH and EVERY click the user makes,
wouldn't that take much time to populate the page with
data?
Isn't XML store more efficient here? Please reply me.You have the choice of reading a small number of records (10 children per element?) from a database, or parsing multiple megabytes. Reading 10 records from a database should take maybe 100 milliseconds (1/10 of a second). I have written a web application that reads several hundred records and returns them with acceptable response time, and I am no expert. To parse an XML file of many megabytes... you have already tried this, so you know how long it takes, right? If you haven't tried it then you should. It's possible to waste a lot of time considering alternatives -- the term is "analysis paralysis". Speculating on how fast something might be doesn't get you very far.

How can I return an xml file to normal print?

I typed out a list of CD and saved it but it is filed in xml format and I don't know how to return it not normal print so that I can print it out. As you may realise I am not very computer literate! Please can someone help.Thanks

coda, textwrangler, textedit should all be able to open and display xml files
but there is no direct print or word proccessor route from xml it's a broad format it's
just tags and how those tags are read and write are up to the program which writes and read the file in question
so you may end up having to fish out the text you want to print from inside X different tags in the file
xml can be seen as a text version of .dat which is the binary counterpart

Transform XML-String to human readable XML-File

I need to transform a XML-String as coming from a simple transformation into a human readable XML-File. That means with linebreaks and logical indenting, each line not longer than n charactors.
Example:
<one><two>text</two><three><four>text</four></three></one>
into
<one>
<two>text</two>
<three>
    <four>text</four>
</three>
</one>

I wrote a method that will do this, but the method can not handle all kinds of XML-strings, but it works with most simple XML-Strings:
METHOD xml_str2table.
*** Importing
**    I_XMLSTRING type csequence
*** Returning
***   e_tab_XMLtab type table of string.
DATA l_cnt_length TYPE i.
l_cnt_length = STRLEN( i_xmlstring ).

DATA l_xmlline TYPE string.
DATA l_oldchar TYPE c.
DATA l_char TYPE c.
DATA l_nextchar TYPE c.
DATA l_indent TYPE i.
DO l_cnt_length TIMES.
    l_cnt_index = sy-index - 1.
    l_char = i_xmlstring+l_cnt_index(1).
    IF sy-index < l_cnt_length.
      l_nextchar = i_xmlstring+sy-index(1).
    ENDIF.
    IF l_char <> cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
      IF ( l_char = '<' AND l_nextchar = '/' ) OR
         ( l_char = '/' AND l_nextchar = '>' ).
        l_indent = l_indent - 1.
        IF l_indent < 0.
          l_indent = 0.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
      IF l_char = '<' AND l_oldchar = '>'.
        APPEND l_xmlline TO e_tab_xmltab.
*      write: / l_xmlline.
        CLEAR l_xmlline.
        DO l_indent TIMES.
          CONCATENATE space space l_xmlline INTO l_xmlline SEPARATED BY space.
        ENDDO.
      ENDIF.
      if l_char <> space.
        CONCATENATE l_xmlline l_char INTO l_xmlline.
      else.
        CONCATENATE l_xmlline l_char INTO l_xmlline SEPARATED BY space.
      endif.
      IF l_char = '<' AND l_nextchar <> '/'.
        l_indent = l_indent + 1.
      ENDIF.
    ELSE.
      l_indent = 0.
      APPEND l_xmlline TO e_tab_xmltab.

    ENDIF.
    l_oldchar = l_char.
ENDDO.
APPEND l_xmlline TO e_tab_xmltab.
*write: / l_xmlline.
ENDMETHOD.
The second Method does the same not with an string, but with an X-String:
