Html form xml xml db

Hi,
Is there a sample that does this simple process:
1. Extract xml content from xml db table (via a PK key)
2. Transform it into html form input (via xsl)
3. Process the request from the submit action and update the original XML content
4. Update the xml db table with the updated xml content
Thank you for your help

Hi,
You could also refer to the XML News Sample Appliation which demonstrates various XML DB features and is available at http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/xmlnews/content.html
The same page has a tutorial which explains the
Oracle XML DB features used in the application -

Make html form send xml

hi,
i am facing a bsp-development in XI-context. As the XI expects xml-input via http-channel I need to set up forms which can send the query-string as xml.
eg
thisPageToXI.htm?name=john&job=nap&age=34&...
I was looking in my WAS and found a couple of function modules, which can convert stuff to xml - most of them derived from crm apparently. But they're all a bit unhandy.
How would you deal with that task?
thanx in advance,
matthias

Matthias,
Always in these discussions confusion is abound because questions is not formulated perfectly.
First you write: "I need to set up forms which can send the query-string as xml". In this picture I have a browser, and when the request leaves the browser to go somewhere, you expect the payload to be in XML format.
But then you write this example: "?name=john&job=nap&...". Hmmm.. here things are just simple name/value pairs. No XML.
And then suddenly you write "I was looking in my WAS ...can convert stuff to xml". So now we are suddenly on the server, without XML in hand, but wanted it.
All confusion. So let we first draw a picture:
(1) browser --XML--> XI
(2) browser --name/values--> WebAS(BSP) --XML--> XI
In scenario 1, the browser prepares the XML document directly, and sends it directly to the XI server. I know of no technique to achieve this form HTML. Your posted examples using the ActiveX XML object in the browser is probably the only way to go. Will just require some JavaScript to find all the correct formfields, and feed all of this into XML object.
In scenario two you just submit a normal request to the server. You use something such as get_form_fields and concatenate to build the XML string. Then you make an outgoing HTTP connection to XI using the HTTP Client. Somewhere we have examples of how this can be done.
But first, for me at least, is the question of what you wish to achieve.

Creating dynamic HTML form from XML data in session

I'm a bit new to servlets, please bear with me if I don't make myself clear.
currently i have a HttpServlet that extracts a XML document into a jdom Document.
this is done within the doGet() method as the XML document is in the session object.
i would like to create a popup window (a JSP or servlet) that can access the same session, convert some of the data in the XML to a submit form that users can put input into, and have the JSP(or maybe servlet) send the form data and the XML back to the original HttpServlet (through the session object).
i have a few questions on how to make this happen:
1.how to create a popup window (JSP or servlet) in a servlet, and forward the session data as well?
2.if the popup window has a submit form that submits some extra data back to the original httpservlet, will the XML document still be retained in the session?
and any advise on how to go about this problem is highly appreciated!

Hi,
This is my first time posting a reply. Hope this helps.
I am assuming that you are hitting the servlet from a link. This is one way of doing it. You can create a new window using Javascript. like this.
<script language="javascript">
var popupWin
function openWindow(page){
popupWin=window.open(page,"","width=800,height=600,resizable,scrollbars");
</script>
link
The response of your servlet will be in the new pop-up window.
2.if the popup window has a submit form that submits
some extra data back to the original httpservlet,
will the XML document still be retained in the
session?The session should be retained as long as you are hitting the same servlet container . You should be able to access the seesion variable in the original servlet if the form in the pop-up window calls the original servlet.

Jsp/html form- servlet- xml parsing

does anyone have an example or know of a place where I can get code
which passes XML from jsp/html to servlet which parses the xml???
will be appreciated..........thanks

Hi,
Are u trying to acheive indpendent of browser solution or just want to know the things..
well,I have one idea ok.
Using JavaScript Constructs the XmL as u want, "let say
<root><name>Lokesh</name><age>25</age></root>" before submitting the page(I mean frm.submit()) assign to a hidden variable, since you have post kind of submit back at the servlet from the request object get the value and store it as String and using StringReader you just parse the XML
Just try the above one the below code
     public org.w3c.dom.Document getXMLDocument() throws IllegalStateException,Exception
                    if (!containsXMLDocument())
                              throw new IllegalStateException("This request does not contain an XMLDocument");
               javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory dbf=javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder db=dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
               java.io.StringReader strRdr=new java.io.StringReader(_xmlString);
               org.xml.sax.InputSource ipSrc=new org.xml.sax.InputSource(strRdr);
               org.w3c.dom.Document doc=db.parse(ipSrc);
               return doc;
best of luck..

Passing through XML in HTML forms without it being displayed in Web Browser

Dear all
I have some MapViewer XML stored in a variable, which I wish to pass through a HTML form. However whenever I insert the variable into the form and run the procedure, my web browser starts reading the actual XML and treating it as HTML, since it is only part of a complete XML script. Even if it was a complete XML script, it would still try and display it. Is there away of making sure the value is passed through without being read by the browser?
For example:
PROCEDURE DISPLAY
AS
var_xml VARCHAR2(32767) :='<theme name="theme_county"/>';
htp.print('<INPUT TYPE = "hidden"
                  NAME ="var_xml"
                  VALUE = "' || var_xml || '" />Then causes the output to the browser to become:
htp.print('<INPUT TYPE = "hidden"
                  NAME ="var_xml"
                  VALUE = "<theme name="theme_county"/>" />The browser is of course reading the XML as HTML.
Kind regards
Tim

Dear all
I have now resolved the problem by submitting values which can then be used to recreate the xml in another function, rather than actually submitting the xml itself through the forms. This makes more sense and avoids people having to see any of the xml.
Kind regards
Tim

How to search xml file data based on the given keyword from html form

hi,
i'm new to XML. I have this problem regarding searching within a XML file.
the
idea is that my search will be based on the keyword entered
in
by the user from a HTML form. the keyword is then used to search all
the
question nodes and the choice nodes within a XML file. once the match
is
found, i will have to display the results.
But i don't know how to do so - especially the part of searching xml file.
Can
anyone help me in this? Your help is much appreciated.
Edited by: Moti_Lal.D on Apr 4, 2008 7:28 AM

yeah.. what i was trying to do is
i have one xml fine. then i have to read all the tag values say
<book>
<title>Java</title>
<author>agarwal</author>
<price>200</price>
</book>
<book>
<title>Xml</title>
<author>saxmann</author>
<price>300</price>
</book>
i can read the tag values like this
File file = new File("dom.xml");
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(file);
NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName"book");
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i);
NodeList title = element.getElementsByTagName("title");
Element line = (Element) title.item(0);
what i want is i may give any xml file
like File file = new File("xxx.xml");
(it may be one level/two level/3level tagged one)
then the i should read all the tag values and store them in some array. Then when i enter some character from keyboard (say "a") then it has to show all the tag values starts with "a" and display them.
i guess u understand my problem.

XML in HTML form parameter

Hi,
I would like insert records into database by HTML form, where one parameter (text field) is XML (which will be - after transforming via XSL - compatible with database schema). Is it possible with insert-request? Have you any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Hi,
Could you help me more? I've found only example with parameters as fields. Can I use one parameter (XML) as entire rowset?
Thanks,

Urgent :post xml for xsql difference with html form post

Hi,
We are developing an application to process xml request
posted by external party. The requests arrive by
http-post operation
We developed and tested with an html-form.
Now we encounter problems in testing with http-post
The xsql page is processed correctly but
insert only fixed text when formatting xml-data as input for
the insert-request, string inserted is empty.
Everything is by the book and html-forms works great.
Is anybody else using xsql to insert xml data in the database on this version? Maybe can you help by looking into a testcase ? Issued a tar but am on terrible deadline
so need help very soon.
Details: HP-UX 11.11 Oracle 9.2.0.4 java1.4 ojdbc 1.4
Tnx in advance,
Jeroen

Mark,
Have an external partner which sends xml-requests.
Have to read those, store them and process them.
Idea is let them
1)post the xml at a url where an xsql page is reading the xml
2) transforming this for an insert into
the database. The column is defined to store the complete xml-message.
3) A trigger takes care of processing the stuff and preparing the output
4) and a query in the xsql-page reads the output from an output table
When developing and testing this with an html-form that posts the xml is works great.
$ cat newclobins.xsql
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" >
<xsql:set-session-param name="id">
select msgid.nextval from dual
</xsql:set-session-param>
<xsql:dml>
delete cbs_msg_in where id={@id}
</xsql:dml>
<xsql:insert-request table="cbs_msg_in" column="id,msg" transform="cbsform_1.xsl"/>
<data>
<xsql:query null-indicator="yes">
select msgid,msg from cbs_xml_out where msgid={@id}
</xsql:query>
</data>
</page>
$ cat cbsform_1.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xsl:version="1.0">
<xsl:for-each select="request">
<ROW>
<MSG><xsl:value-of select="parameters/doc" /></MSG>
<ID><xsl:value-of select="session/id" /></ID>
</ROW>
</xsl:for-each>
</ROWSET>
1) When using a tool like
http://www.programmersheaven.com/articles/adrian/getpost/article.html it fails with
No rows to modify -- the row enclosing tag missing. Specify the correct row enclosing tag.
2) When using the commandline utility like
xsql jeroen5.xsql posted-xml=test3.xml
this works great when inserting plain text but not
when inserting xml-format data into a column
So problem 1 is why external tools like above or my partner that uses .net to do something similar gives this strange error?
Problem nr 2 is should I stick to just the data in xml and forget about storing the xml-formatted data?
Hope you can help because I am getting quite desparate here.
Regards,
Jeroen

Issue with HTML Editor of XML Form Builder.??

Hi All,
We are using HTML Editor of XML Form Builder to enter the Content. This content will be displayed to teh User by parsing these XML Files generated by the XML Form Builder Application.
But, when we parse the XML, the other field values are coming properly, except HTML Editor field Content.
This is working fine, only when I enter a Single line Text. If I enter some Spaces, New lines, Paragraphs, etc. the XML Parsing is not returning any Content..
And also when I use Text Area, the total content is returning as a Single Paragraph, Even if I enter multiple lines, spaces,.
If anyone has Idea on this, Please Help me to solve this Issue ASAP.
Thanks&Regards||
Ashok Kumar M.

Hi Bala,
It is already mapped correctly. If I enter a single line Text in HTML Editor, I am getting the same Text after Parsing. But If I enter multiple lines, spaces, new lines, etc., then the Problem.

XML query results in HTML form parameter

Hi,
I would like insert records from a query result (raw XML) into HTML form tags, using the XSL stylesheet. Here is the code I am trying to use, but obviously it is not working.
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="te_hb_strdEntryId"
VALUE="<xsl:value-of select="ID"/>">
Are there any other options to put a result of a query in a hidden tag, using XSL?
Any help will be appriciated.

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="te_hb_strdEntryId"
VALUE="<xsl:value-of select="ID"/>">
The correct syntax would be:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="xxx">
<xsl:attribute name="VALUE">
<xsl:value-of select="ID"/>
</xsl:attribute>
however, there is a shortcut syntax
when you are using XPath expressions
in literal attribute values:
XSLT attribute value templates. They are
XPath expressions inside curly braces.
So, you can achieve your desired result
with the shorter form:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="xxx" VALUE="{ID}">
as well.

Convert XML Schema Files (XSD) in HTML Forms

Hi Everybody,
I am new in the topic of the XML, XSD, the situation is the following , I have a few files .XSD and need to generate automatic html forms based on these .XSD to gather information and later convert them into XML files and save them in a repository and later a middleware will process this information.
My first serious question if it is possible to develop the above mentioned task automatic? And the second one where you recommend to me to start investigating?.
Thanks in advance for your answer
Regards from Peru.

There are products which do that already, I think. XMLSpy is one. Check that out to see if I'm right (not sure about the HTML part). Otherwise, welcome to the club of several hundred people who have asked basically that same question (only not with the HTML part) here.

Convert XML payload to HTML form data in Receiver HTTP Adapter

Hi,
I want to make a HTTP request ( Receiver HTTP Adapter ) to a servlet where I need to send the payload in HTML form format ( name=value ). As per the help document:
A typical HTML form comprises named fields. When transferring a completed form to the server or a CGI program, the data must be transferred in such a way that the CGI script can recognize the fields that make up the form, and which data was entered in which field.
The plain HTTP adapter constructs this format using a prolog and an epilog
Has anyone done this before? I looked through all help documents and forums but in vain. I can resort to Java Mapping to do this but I do not want to re-invent the wheel if I can do it easily using HTTP Adapter Configuration. Please help.

The parameters available in HTTP adapter for message header are:
HeaderFieldFive     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
HeaderFieldFour     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
HeaderFieldOne     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
