How to read a xml node name in xsl? Urgent!

Hi,
I've a dynamic xml which gets generated at runtime. The basic nodes remain same but the content and nodes vary.
- <root>
- <list>
- <row>
<courseStartDate></courseStartDate>
<courseEndDate></courseEndDate>
<courseName>ORACLE</courseName>
</row>
- </list>
</root>
I have an xsl which would read the values
as :
<xsl:value-of select="courseStartDate"/>
I would like to know if its possible to read the node name "courseStartDate" through xsl, which could be stored in a variable and then the corresponding value could be retrieved??
Thanks

If u want to display the name : value then u can do like this
<xsl:eval>this.selectSingleNode("name").nodeName</xsl:eval> : <xsl:value-of select="name" />

How to find PG.xml file name and path associated with a FUNCTION

Hi,
I am having a function:IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE with Web HTML value as below:
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAPB=IRC_BRAND
How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.
Thanks,
ashok

Ashok,
Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

GET XML NODE NAME FOR LOOPING

Hi,
i hv a procedure to get the xml data's(values of the xml) from a clob. in a table.it works fine the parent tags but if the same tag is there for two times then i am not able to loop it because i dont know the tag name for which the loop should be run.
to be clear.
<root>
<tag1>value1
</tag1>
<tag1>value2
</tag1>
</root>
i need to run some fns for each node value so i need to loop for each node having same value pls help me to get the node name.

You can simply alter get xml node name in loop to return a count on just the node you are looking for. Not sure why you need to know the count when you can have the logic iterate through the nodes for you, either as an XMLType or a DOMDocument (see nodelist).

Accessing Node Name in XSL

Hi all,
Is there some way I can access the node name of a node when I'm in an xsl, perhaps some kind of xpath statement, for example, I have the following:
<row>
<agreement>test</agreement>
<date>today</date>
</row>
When I access all the child nodes of the row element, how can I find out the name of each child node, like "agreement" and "date"? thanks in advance.

I Think this will help u
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select='.//row'>
Node Name is : <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:for-each select='./@*'>
Attribute Name is :<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
Attribute Value is :<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
Node value is : <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

How to binding incoming xml node list to the tree control as dataProvider

Recently, I faced into one issue: I want to binding incoming xml node (it's not avaliable at start) list to the tree control as a dataProvider.
Since the incoming xml node list is not avaliable at beginning but I needs to bind it to the tree, so I create one virtual one in the xml, and prepare to remove it before the tree is shown. (ready for the actual node adding). But It did not work.
Please see the presudo-code here:
1. Model layer(CsModel.as)
public class CsModel
 [Bindable]
 public var treeXML:XML=<nodes><car label="virtualOne" id="1">
 </car></nodes>;
 (Here, I want to build binding relationship on the <car/> node,
 one 'virtual/stub' node is set here with lable="virtualOne".
 But this node will be deleted after IdTree
 control is created completely.)
 [Bindable]
 public var treeData:XMLList =new XMLListCollection(treeXML.car);
2. view layer(treePage.mxml)
 private var _model:CsModel = new CsModel();
 private function addNode():void
 var newNode:XML=<car/>;
 newNode.@label="newOne";
 newNode.@id=1;
 _model.treeXML.appendChild(newNode);
 private function cleanData():void
 delete _model.treeXML.car;
 <mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%">
 <mx:Button label="AddNode" click="addNode()" />
 <mx:Tree id="IdTree" labelField="@label"
 creationComplete="cleanData()"
 dataProvider="{_model}"/>
 </mx:VBox>
3. Top view layer (App.Mxml)
<mx:application>
 <treePage />
</mx:application>
For method: cleanData()，It's expected that when the treePage is shown, we first delete the virutalOne to provide one 'clear' tree since we don't want show virtualOne to the user. The virutalOne node just for building the relationship between treeData and treeXML at beginning. But the side effect of this method, I found, is that the relationship between treeXML and treeData was cut off. And this leads to that when I added new node (by click the 'addNode' button) to the xmlXML, the xmlData was not affected at all !
So Is there any other way to solve this issue or bind the incoming xml node list to the xmlListCollection which will be used as Tree control's dataProvider ?

If u want to display the name : value then u can do like this
<xsl:eval>this.selectSingleNode("name").nodeName</xsl:eval> : <xsl:value-of select="name" />

How to read an XML from a servlet?

Hi,
I'm just starting programming and now I have a problem I can't solve. I hope someone can help me.
On the client side I have a xml report and a script wich sends to the server the information I've got from the report. In this case, the 'Poliza' value.
On the server-side I have a servlet. I try to get the parameters (from the URL or from the XML), but I don't have any response on the client side. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't find the solution for solving it.
I suppose there are two ways of solving the problem.
- Make an http connetion and send just the parametes on the URL? Does anyone know how to make it?
- Reading the XML on the servlet and extract the parameters the script sent. Does anyone know how to read it?
Thank you in advance
I attach part of the code.
CLIENT SIDE
<report....>
<field sortid="0" id="Poliza" inputtype="textbox" label="Poliza" rows="1" wide="false" required="false"/>

/*Do the actual post of the data*/
var m_HttpResponse = m_HttpReq.GetResponse(szURL,m_XML.xml);

 String[] values = request.getParameterValues(parametro);
 out1.println("Result: " + Error + " / " + MSG);

}

Thanks by your help Shanu.
Nevertheless, finally I tryed the easiest way (pass the parameter with 'GET'). Moreover I found why my code wasn't working. It was a fool thing. I though PDA connect throught a proxy, but it wasn't true. Whatever.
Regards.
FSG.
The final script on the xml-report is:

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?

HELP NEEDED!!!displaying xml node name in an input text box

Hello everybody
Have a simple proble. I have imported an XML file into flash
using the Tree component and the XML_conn component. So i have the
xml tree displying in flash when i have run it.
I have created an input text box called 'subject'
All i really need is when a user clicks on any node for that
node name to be displayed in a the input text box. thats it. ITS
DRIVING ME CRAZY

Try something like this. (if your Tree is called myTree)
var myTreeListener = {}
myTreeListener.change = function(evtObj) {
subject.text = evtObj.target.selectedNode.nodeName;
myTree.addEventListener("change",myTreeListener)

How to get the XML TAG name itself instead of TAG value

Hi All,
I have a question here
I want to retrieve the XML tag from a XML file instead of its value.
Example:
<item>Colgate</item>
Now I want to retrieve "item" as output from XPath expression, I dont want its value as "colgate"
How to do that...?
Thanks

You can do this with an axes XPatch expression:

WebDynpro 4 Java & Persistence options : Any Idea how 2 read an XML?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is an easy way to store modified (or new) values in a WebDynpro application.
e.g. A User adds a new row to an existing Table UI in Web Dynpro application with create button. I want to save this row either in an XML file, in a table connecting to database or in an ABAP table via RFC connection. Which option is a light (on resources?) and easy to implement. I think it's reading and writing to an XML file. What are the other options, if any?
I've been trying to read an xml file (stored under src/mimes/Components/<com.sap.myComp>/test.xml as below:
//controller code
private static final String FILE_NAME = "test.xml";
private static final WDWebResourceType FILE_EXT = WDWebResourceType.XML;
IWDResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(), EditView.FILE_EXT, EditView.FILE_NAME);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFile(resource);
//end controller code
//view Init() code
IWDResource resource = wdContext.currentContextElement().getFile();
File file = new File(resource.getResourceName().toString());
/* I've also tried below
 FileInputStream fis = null;
 fis = new FileInputStream(file);
 url = file.getAbsolutePath();
 //url is null when printed?
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.parse(file);
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
content = doc.getDocumentElement().getNodeName().toString();
//end view Init() code
When I print the value of content, I get it's initial value which is null. What is wrong?? any ideas?
How to get the correct path to the stored xml and how to display its contents? I've read enough posts on SDN but couldn't get it working.
Appreciate your help.

N.

hi,
U r retriving the elements by tag name.So it just chks the tag name ie.<book> & gives u array of elements.But u need retrive d attribute of <book> tag itself.

Add one more statement ----> var[]= doc.getElementsByName("book");
Now u hav book elements as an array & can retrive id in for loop

Dashes in xml node names

I need to parse an xml document returned by a web-service. It does not, nor do we want it to, follow any SOAP or wdsl standard.. However I still need to parse it (hence the flex becomes unflexible).
Some of the nodes names in the xml document have dashes it is.. (ex. <node-name></node-name>) However flex does not let me access these nodes..
If I try and parse a mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent thus :
someObject = event.result.root.node-name as someObjectType;
I get an error: 1120: Access of undefined property structure. ... line 16 1253139374175 81
However when I traverse the event object in the debugger.. the result.root.node-name object is in debugger as an ObjectProxy.. so what gives? I have to use boring one word node names? Is Flex so inFlexible?

Hey! thanks for the advice! I did try this, but I don't think I was using the object correctly. I wast to try and bind the text value of an xml node to a control Object..
Back to the books, then
Thanks again,
