How to stop parse XML file

When using saxParser.parse(XMLfile, handler) to parse XML file, How to stop the parsing but not exit. I catched thread interrupted in startElement(), but can not stop it because it still go through all other startElement()s and endElement()s. Is there any method or class can stop parse XML?
Appreciate your help!

How to parse XML files from normal FTP Servers?

I want to parse xml files from a normal FTP Servers , NOT the sap application severs itself. How can i do that?
I know how to use the SAPFTP getting and putting files ,but I don't want to download and then parse it.
Who knows how to parse it directly? I Just need to read the contents into a database.

How to compare after parsing xml file

Hi,
following code, parse the input.xml file, counts how many nodes are there and writes the node name and its value on screen.
1) i am having trouble writing only node name into another file instead of writing to screen.
2) after parsing, i like to compare each node name with another .xsd file for existence.
Please keep in mind that, input.xml is based on some other .xsd and after parsing i have comparing its tag with another .xsd
Need you help guys.
thanks

How to upload a XML file to Servlet

Hi,
I am new to Java, I have to upload an XML file to java/j2ee server. The web server running on the server is "Tomcat 4.1". My new requirement is I have to upload an "Input.XML" file, can you please tell me how to upload an XML file. If any samples appriciated very soon.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi!
On the client side, the client's browser must support form-based upload. Most modern browsers do, but there's no guarantee. For example,
<FORM ENCTYPE='multipart/form-data'
method='POST' action='/myservlet'>
<INPUT TYPE='file' NAME='mptest'>
<INPUT TYPE='submit' VALUE='upload'>
</FORM>
The input type "file" brings up a button for a file select box on the browser together with a text field that takes the file name once selected. The servlet can use the GET method parameters to decide what to do with the upload while the POST body of the request contains the file data to parse.
When the user clicks the "Upload" button, the client browser locates the local file and sends it using HTTP POST, encoded using the MIME-type multipart/form-data. When it reaches your servlet, your servlet must process the POST data in order to extract the encoded file. You can learn all about this format in RFC 1867.
Unfortunately, there is no method in the Servlet API to do this. Fortunately, there are a number of libraries available that do. Some of these assume that you will be writing the file to disk; others return the data as an InputStream.
You can see more things about Servlet on this website [http://pedrofao.blogspot.com|http://pedrofao.blogspot.com].

Parsing XML Files to ABAP

Hello All,
There is a requirement for parsing of XML files to ABAP.
1.How do we pick an XML file from Application server and also from FTP server?
2.After picking the XML file how to parse that XML file to process it to create material master?

Hi,
Ur scenario is File to R/3
For creating material master ..i guess there is IDoc named MATMAS.
U can make use of it and execute File to IDoc Scenario.
link for File to IDoc--

How to Merge multiple XML files in one file ( Env: XML Publisher 5.6.2)

All,
I have recently started working on XML publisher and have developed 3 reports in last 2 days using XML Publisher and integrating them with Concurrent programs.
This is a great tool.
I have got another requirement, where i need to use xml file generated by multiple run of same report with various parameters and then merge all xml file to a single report. Developing the whole custom process will take very long time and sure will have bugs in it. Instead i was thinking to use xml file generated by Oracle report itself.
Report "US Gross to net summary" generates xml output in standard output directory and then show output in PDF file. I have 7 such file generated for each payroll. I want to merge output of xml into a single xml so that i can create single report having data from all 7 xml files showing me All payroll output in a single report.
Can someone please guide me , how can i read xml file data from the output directory of a seeded concurrent program and how to manipulate data in it.
Thanks
Ankur

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
Best Regards,
Ankur

Does anyone know how to convert an XML file to a readable file?

All,
I have been using an APP called "SMS Backup & Restore" to backup my message conversations to my Laptop PC. It works fine BUT the backup file, once in my PC, has an XML extent such as "filename.XML"
I would like to read and/or print and/or save the text message file so does anyone know how to convert the XML file to something else so it shows all the messages without all the formatting instructions.
When I try to see the XML file it shows all the formatting. If I replace the .XML with .TXT that too shows all the formatting mixed in with the text message narrative.
When I look at the XML file in SMS Backup & Restore in the Charge phone it looks great showing all the messages just as they were on the phones display. The problem with this is that there is no way to print or read or save the messages as they appear in the file from the phone itself. I tried screen capture but if you have, let's say, a 28 message conversation you have to do 7 or 8 screen captures to get them all.
If only I could convert the XML in my PC to something that is printable or savable or readable that would be the "cats meow."
Anyone know how???

PS, You might take a look at my related post.
https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/809832#809832

Ann154,
You were correct again. I deleted everything I had done to date and re-did the entire SMS backup of my 28 message conversation again and YES I was able to open it using IE-8. It looks great and it prints great and life is good! I am going to go make a donation.
Thanks again for the help. I marked this thread as answered by you.

How to transfer an xml file to NW Portal Knowledge Management from XI?

Hi all,
Anybody knows how to transfer an xml file to NW Portal Knowledge Management from XI?
What kind of adapter type I have to choose? And which procedures I have to do in KM Portal? Create a folder, what kind of folder and permissions?
Suggestions and ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi
Can anyone tell me how XI sends messages to applications like J2EE. In REceiver comm channel, I think we specify about the target system like J2EE appl.
Aadapter Type: HTTP
               Receiver
Transport Protocol: HTTP1.0
Message Protocol:    XI payload in HTTP body
Adapter Engine:      Integration Server
Addressing Type:     URL address
Target host:         localhost
Service Number:      7001(Port number of Weblogic appl server--where my J2EE appl is deployed).
Path     : /Invoke/DisplayRes/
Authentication Type:Use Logon Data for SAP System
Content Type: text/xml
Username:   xiappluser
password:   xx
XML code:   UTF-8
I suppose XI sends msgs to http://localhost:7001/Invoke/DisplayRes/........
in this example if am correct?
Then I have given all tyhe necessary setting but my servlet is not able to display XML msg in browser?
This is my servlet code:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
     PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
     BufferedReader brin =new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
     String inputLine;
     StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer();
        response.setContentType("text/xml");
     while ((inputLine = brin.readLine()) != null)
         sBuf.append(inputLine);
         out.println("hi");
            out.println(sBuf.toString());
         brin.close();
         out.flush();
What went wrong?
Help me, all helpful answers are highly rewarded.

I have a question about how to transfer a xml file between server and client using axis or weblogic.
My application needs to send xml files instead of primitive data types and bean objects.
Is it possible to tranfer files between server and client?
thank you very much for your great help!

hi,
There are two ways in which u can send an xml file.
1) U send it along with the body of the soap message.
2)u can send it as an attachment in the soap envelope. this method u can use for any type of files.
If u send it in soap body the it will take more time for the processing of the soap body.so attachment is the best way.
I case of any queries please feel free to post it in the forum
Regards
Sandy
