How to filter particular xml tag value using -DBMS_XMLGEN / DBMS_XMLSTORE

Hi,
I am using dbms_xmlgen and dbms_xmlstore package to extract xml datafile tag value from file server to oracle database table.
I have used the below pl/sql program to extract the xml tag values to oracle relational table.Its working fine for me.
But I would like to extract the values based on particular filter condition.
The following xml program I have 3 rows I would like extract the xml data based on the following condition .
Filter condition
==============
the tag <STATE_ABBREVIATION> value shuold be 'CA' and the <CITY> tag value should be Palo_Alto then I will store the ZIPCODE
ZIP_CODE_EXTN,STATE_ABBREVIATION tag values in the Oracle Relational table.
The below pl/sql program storing all the three rows but I required the values based on the filter condition that I mentioned earlier.
Kindly assist me what are the steps that I need to change in this program.?
XML Program file content.
======================

Formating and calculating xml tag value

I have an xml file that holds xml tag such as <weight>.55 kg</weight>
I want to have two outputs:
Output 1) Output to print: 0.55
Output 2) Output to print 0.8 of the xml tag value (0.55 * 0.8) : 0.44
I was able to get the Output 1) by using <?format-number:weight;'9G990D00'?>
However, I can not get the Output2) as expected.
If I put <?format-number:(weight)*0.8;'9G990D00'?>,
I get the error message "Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Cannot convert .55 kg to number."
Appreciate any help on how to solution for Output2)

If that is the case then try using
<?format-number:( substring-before(WEIGHT,'kg')*0.8);'9G990D00'?>

How to extract xml tag name contains dashes

Hi, How to parse XML file to extract root tag contains dashes in Flex,for example
XML Input is: <regular-body>Text of my post...</regular-body>
expected output is : regular-body
I appreciate any of your suggestions or inputs

Do you want to get the name of the XML ELEMENT regular-body, or the value in the XML file "Text of my post...".
If its the latter, then you could use the bracket/quote notation for extracting the value, like in the following example:
image = xmlWeather[0]..parameters["conditions-icon"]["icon-link"][idx]
I use this when parsing weather information from a 3rd party in which their XML is loaded with dashes.
If you are looking to get the actual element name, not sure how to do that. I would think that if you are using an XML file, you would have at least the high level element known.

How to parse xml string

Hi! I'm having problems parsing an xml string. I've done DOM and SAX parsing before. But both of them either parse a file or data from an input source. I don't think they handle strings. I also don't want to write the string into a file just so I can use DOM or SAX.
I'm looking for something where I could simply do:
Document doc = documentBuilder.parse( myXMLString );
So the heirarchy is automatically established for me. Then I could just do
Element elem = doc.getElement();
String name = elem.getTagName();
These aren't the only methods I would want to use. Again, my main problem is how to parse xml if it is stored in a string, not a file, nor comming from a stream.
thanks!

But both of them either parse a file or data from an input source. I don't think they handle strings.An InputSource can be constructed with a Reader as input. One useful subclass of Reader is StringReader, so you'd use something likeDocument doc = documentBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(myXMLString)));

How to parse XML for internal table

hi guys, I would like to know how to parse xml for an internal table. I explain myself.
Let's say you have a purchase order form where you have header data & items data. In my interactive form, the user can change the purchase order quantity at the item level. When I received back the pdf completed by mail, I need to parse the xml and get the po qty that has been entered.
This is how I do to get header data from my form
lr_ixml_node = lr_ixml_document->find_from_name( name = ''EBELN ).
lv_ebeln = lr_ixml_node->get_value( ).
How do we do to get the table body??
Should I used the same method (find_from_name) and passing the depth parameter inside a do/enddo?
thanks
Alexandre Giguere

Alexandre,
Here is an example. Suppose your internal table is called 'ITEMS'.
lr_node = lr_document->find_from_name('ITEMS').
lv_num_of_children = lr_node->num_children( ).
lr_nodechild = lr_node->get_first_child( ).
do lv_num_of_children times.
    lv_num_of_attributes = lr_nodechild->num_children( ).
    lr_childchild = lr_nodechild->get_first_child( ).
   do lv_num_of_attributes times.
      lv_value = lr_childchild->get_value( ).
      case sy-index.
         when 1.
           wa_item-field1 = lv_value
         when 2.
           wa_item-field2 = lv_value.
      endcase.
      lr_childchild = lr_childchild->get_next( ).
   enddo.
   append wa_item to lt_item.
   lr_nodechild = lr_nodechild->get_next( ).
enddo.

Thanks a lot Sir DrClap..
I tried to use and implement the org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver Interface which is based on the SAX2 EntityResolver.
please give comments the way I implement it. Here's the code:
LSResourceResolver Implementation
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver;
import abc.xml.XsdConstant.Path.DTD;
import abc.xml.XsdConstant.Path.XSD;
public class LSResourceResolverImpl implements LSResourceResolver {
     public LSResourceResolverImpl() {
      * {@inheritDoc}
     @Override
     public LSInput resolveResource(String type, String namespaceURI, String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {
          ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
          LSInput input = new LSInputImpl(publicId, systemId, baseURI);
          if ("http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd".equals(systemId)) {
               input.setByteStream(classLoader.getResourceAsStream(XSD.XML));
          } else if (XsdConstant.PUBLIC_ID_XMLSCHEMA.equals(publicId)) {
               input.setByteStream(classLoader.getResourceAsStream(DTD.XML_SCHEMA));
          } else if (XsdConstant.PUBLIC_ID_DATATYPES.equals(publicId)) {
               input.setByteStream(classLoader.getResourceAsStream(DTD.DATATYPES));
          return input;
}I also implement org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.Reader;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSInput;
public class LSInputImpl implements LSInput {
     private String publicId;
     private String systemId;
     private String baseURI;
     private InputStream byteStream;
     private String stringData;
     public LSInputImpl(String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {
          super();
          this.publicId = publicId;
          this.systemId = systemId;
          this.baseURI = baseURI;
     //getters & setters
}Then, here's the usage/application:

Setting the XML tag value in Java script

Hi,
   I am trying to set a XML tag value in the initialize event of a text field.. The code works fine in FormCalc but I needed it to work in java script.
     FormCalc:
     $record.prospectApplication.typeName = "namedInsured";
     Java Script:
     xfa.record.prospectApplication.typeName = "namedInsured";
     The above JavaScript does not work. Can any one help on this?
Thanks
Srini

Hi Srini,
In JavaScript you don't get any default properties so you need to say;
xfa.record.prospectApplication.typeName.value = "namedInsured";
That is assign the value to the "value" property not the dataValue object.

How to parse xml and import to execel

pls let me know how to parse XML file and import all data to execel sheet.

Hi Mandya,
This is outside of the normal use case for TestStand. It would be best to use a code module (developed in LabVIEW, C, or any other language) to accomlish this and then call it from a step in TestStand. You can find examples on ActiveX here:

I hope this helps.

How to pass XML tags in a soapbody parameter having datatype as string?

Hi,
I need to pass XML tags as a String parameter in SOAP:Body.
When I tried send SOAP Request, The SOAP Request was changing < to <
and > to > respectively. Is there any way to ensure that the XML tags (< and >) remain as it is without getting changed.
I also tried to retrieve XML file and stored in a StringBuffer and tried to send SOAP Request but i am still receiving the < and > tags in my SOAP Request.
Pl suggest some alternatives to avoid storing the XML in the form of string and instead directly store the XML into a XML Node so that i can avoid the above condition
Thanks in advance,
gnsinhyd

Hi,
The sample code I used is as follows:
package somepackage;
import javax.mail.internet
import javax.xml.messaging.*;
import javax.xml.soap.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class SomeClassName{
// Some namespace declarations
public static void main(String[] args) throws someExceptions{
try
// Create the connection
SOAPConnectionFactory connectionFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
// create a new SOAP message using SAAJ API�s
MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage request = messageFactory.createMessage();
// Create a SoapAction header
MimeHeaders headers = request.getMimeHeaders();
headers.addHeader("SOAPAction", "soapaction url");
// Object for SOAP Message parts
SOAPPart part = request.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = part.getEnvelope();
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("xsd","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("xsi","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
//envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("enc","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/");
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("soap","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelop/");
//envelope.setEncodingStyle("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/");
SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();
SOAPHeader header = envelope.getHeader();
// Now, build the ClaimStorage element in the body for our request
Name somename = envelope.createName("somename");
// � and configure it with the specifics of our request
SOAPElement ClaimStorage = body.addTextNode("somename");
ClaimStorage.addNamespaceDeclaration("xmlns","url");
ClaimStorage.addChildElement(somename).addTextNode("somename");
ClaimStorage.addChildElement(xmlclaim).addTextNode("<XMLTAGS">); <---THE PROBLEM IS HERE
----> THE XML TAGS < > ARE CHANGING TO &LT; AND &GT; MOST PROBABLY DUE TO POST I THINK.
// Save Message
request.saveChanges();
// View SOAP Request
System.out.println("\n Soap Request:\n");
request.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println();
// Now, create a connection to the HTTP SOAP endpoint
URLEndpoint endpoint = new URLEndpoint("url.asmx");
// Send request, view response. In a real program, we�d process the response envelope programmatically to see if there was a fault, etc.
System.out.println("request =\n" + request);
SOAPMessage response = connection.call(request, endpoint);
// View the output
System.out.println("\nXML Response\n");
// Create Transformer
TransformerFactory tff = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer tf = tff.newTransformer();
// Get reply content
Source sc = response.getSOAPPart().getContent();
System.out.println("SOAP Body" + response.getSOAPBody());
// Set output transformation
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
tf.transform(sc, result);
System.out.println();
// Close connection
connection.close();
System.out.println("\nResponse =\n" + response);
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Pl. reply as soon as possible
Thanks in advance
