How to read a xml file in ActionScript

In mxml we can find <mx:Model> to load a xml and using
it easily. But in ActionScript, there is no such a Class about this
function(only implemented in mxml), so how to load a xml file in a
easy way in ActionScript?
And I tried using HTTPService, but I think that is not the
best solution because the code do not know when the hander get the
data in xml then the function return that value.
So please someone give a easy way as <mx:model> in mxml
to read the xml file?
Thank you very much.

Flex is asynchronous so HTTPService with result event handler
is the way to go.

How to read an xml file in OSB using file protocol where reading file path is dynamic.

HI,
We have to read a xml file from a location and write into Db.
Here reading file location is dynamic .
Please suggest

Hi
With open dataset you can open any file on the application server. So it should be working, but maybe you are looking for:
CALL TRANSFORMATION my_transformation
       SOURCE XML xml_string
       RESULT ROOT1 = field1
               ROOT2 = field2.

How to read an xml file on the server?

Hi all,
we need to read an XML file which will be on the appplication server (visible using the transaction AL11).
We will use the transaction CG3Z in order to upload the file to the server.
When we try to open it using the instruction OPEN DATASET we have a dump. Which way must we use to open an xml file in this case?
Thanks for your help.

How to read a XML file from BLOB column and insert in a table - PL/SQL Only

Hi,
To make data load more simple to end user instead placing file on the server and use SQL-LOADER, I came up with new idea that using oracle ebusiness suite attachment functionality. that loads a XML file from local PC to a database column(table is fnd_attachments, default data type is BLOB over here).
I tried with DBMS_LOB and didnt get around.
Please can anyone tell me how to read the BLOB column using PL/SQL and store the data in a oracle table. Here's the sample XML file and table structure FYI.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

How To read an XML file with JDom

I have read through some tutorials after installing JDom on how to read an existing XML file and I was confused by all of them. I simply want to open an XML file and read one of the node's content. Such as <username>john doe</username> this way I can compare values with what the user has entered as their username. I am not sure were to start and I was hoping someone could help me out.
I know that this seems like an insecure way to store login information but after I master opening and writing XML files with JDom I am going to use AES to encrypt the XML files.

Here is a test program for JDom and XPath use considering your XML file is named "test.xml" :import org.jdom.input.*;
import org.jdom.xpath.*;
public class JDomXPath {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
try {
 org.jdom.Document jdomDocument = saxBuilder.build("test.xml");
 org.jdom.Element usernameNode = (org.jdom.Element)XPath.selectSingleNode(jdomDocument, "//username");
 System.out.print(usernameNode.getText());
} catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
}(tested with Eclipse)

ok thanks, i can get the elements, but why did it not validate it?
I want to read the child nodes of "weblogic" not by their name but by their index. Because i dont want to confine the reader so i want to read all the child nodes of weblogic (looping over them). i m doing the following but its not returning me the correct result and giving me the wrong count of child nodes.
Element elementNode = (Element)doc.getElementsByTagName("weblogic").item(0);
NodeList nodeList = elementNode.getChildNodes();
int length = nodeList.getLength();
System.out.println("length = "+ length); // the length its giving is 5 but i shuld get only 2
for(int i=0; i < length; i++) {
Element elmChild = (Element) nodeList.item(i);
System.out.println(elmChild.getAttribute("value"));
what might be the problem?

Any thoughts?

Hello,
For converting xml file to html, we could refer to the way shared in the following thread which uses an XSLT stylesheet to transform the XML into another format using the
XslTransform class.

How to login to a remote (FTP??) server and read an XML file?

Hello all,
I would like some information on how to login to a remote server using a Java program.
The server might be a ftp server, because the client will ftp a xml file to this server, and the java program needs to login to this server and read the xml file, then convert it into a general report with headings and data from the xml file.
How can I quickly find the API information to login to a server and read an xml file?
If anyone knows the packages off the top of their heads, that would save me some time surfing.
If anyone can provide me some links, code examples, or information I'd greatly be thankful.
sharla

You can also just use plain java.net. It supports FTP. Example:URL u = new URL("ftp://user:passwd@server/path/to/file.xml");
InputStream in = u.openStream();
// do what you want ...
