IDML modification using xsl and xml

Hi All
I am new to IDML development and get stuck at first step.
I know that IDML becomes a bunch of xml files so if I create a template and Export it as IDML and for processing the job, I want to modify the story xml file among all the xml files which has some special content in it so is it posible to change only that particular xml file using any java sample example given in SDK or other class files which has this feature ??
One more question, might be novice, what is use of schema in all IDML process and how to generate the schema using the script given in SDK ??.
Many Thanks in advance
Mac

Hi Frank,
I assumed I would run into problems like this, so I've decided to transform XML in backing bean and send it to response's output stream and this works for me. Now I'm struggling to get my css file in this backing bean so I can use it as a parameter in my XSLT transformation. We have a css file that ADF loads, can you tell me how do I get a reference on it on a backing bean?
Thanks,
regards!

Using resourceDescription in SUBSCRIPTIONBUNDLED_Email.xsl and xml's.

Hello all,
We are trying to use the Primitive Template "resourceDescription" (as described in "Customizing Notifications"-pdf) in the SUBSCRIPTIONBUNDLED_EMAIL.xsl and SUBSCRIPTIONBUNDLED_en.xml.
Could anyone urgently let me know if it's possible to use this Primitive Template in the xsl and xml mentioned?
It looks like the "resourceDescription" is not being passed on to the bundlednotificationdata-section in the xml?
Any other suggestion in how to get the "resourceDescription" available in Daily Summary Subscription emails?
Thanks in advance,
Tim.

Hello Alan,
Yes; as far as I know the only way to get your changes to any of the email notification xml files visible is by restarting the server
The notification email xsl I'm working on is the one for the daily notifications (subscriptionbundled_email.xsl).
My problem is that it seems that the resourceDescription is not being passed on by the java code that is populating the section in the xml file containg the resource information...
Unfortunately no confirmation about this yet (raised OSS with SAP as well).
I'm expecting this resourceDescription to contain the text that you can fill in using standard KM in the Description field of a resource.
I do wonder how/where your users populate the subject and description fields? Standard SAP KM or custom app?
Cheers,
Tim.

Query resultset to xml using java and XML schema

Hi,
I query data using JDBC and I want to store it to an XML file which has a well defined XML schema. I searched a lot in the forum but did not find an answer. Please guide me to create this program.
I have managed to use JDBC to get result set but I do not know how to export is to XML using XSD and Java.
Please help.
Regards,
Ravi

I have managed to use JDBC to get result set but I do
not know how to export is to XML using XSD and Java.Export using XSD? Schemas are for validation.
Iterate through the result set, and build up the XML stream by creating an entry for each row.
Another way to do it is to load the ResultSet into a Java object and serialize that to XML using something like XStream.

          I opened the specifized file taglib.tld and saw a tag entry named "Content",
          its tagclass is com.mycom.presentation.taglib.ContentTag. Again I opend a
          java class file "ContentTag.java" and saw some setXXX methods and doXXX
          methods. I donot know how is the webpage outputed. Can someone give me a

Hi Andy,
          The sequence of operations that happen when a JSP page encounters a Custome Tag are
          1. Find the class associated with the custom tag from the tld.
          2. The set and get methods that u find are for passing the values for the tag attributes that u may need
          to pass.
          3. The Tag Lib class performs the operation specified and flushes the output to the jsp.
          For further understanding ..u can refer to these sites !!!

How would you launch an applet using xsl and some xml data?

Is is possible?

Thanks for your input but I got it working with the correct CDATA syntax. The concept is to launch a database driven system using xml instead, so the applet piece is completely modular and can be added to any other application that can call a url. No databases need to be created. Its not crazy if the amount of info int he database is managebable.

Using XSL on XML validated against XSD

Transforming XSD validated XMLType Data
Re: example XSL in Chapter 6 that transforms XML with associated XSD schema definition (Oracle 9i XML Database Developer's Guide)
I noted that this XSL uses only the "general" node identification functions (e.g., name() ) to access nodes in the <xsl:value-of select..>. I have also noted that standard XSL templates from other sections of the documentation, for example in Chapter 3 and in Appendix D, do not work with an XML which is validated against an XSD schema.
Can anyone give me an example <xsl:value-of select..> that addresses a specific node in the "purchase order" example, like the shipTo, name, street -- or any other specific node. This is critical since there is always bound to be node-specific processing in any transformation, and this is not demonstrated by any example of XML which has been validated against an XSD.
I have tried this endlessly on my own examples of XML w/XSD validation. Even if the value-of select="name(.)" tells you that the name of the node is "FooBar", you cannot use FooBar as a select test to do FooBar specific processing.
Help?????

Not quite understand your question. Can you send me the example doc?

Transform XML using XSL, output XML

Hi all,
I have an xml document and I want to transform it using an xsl file. As a result I want an xml document, it's possible? Anyone could help me?

That 's exactly what XSLT does. Learn more about it here: http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/bible2/chapters/ch17.html
Good luck.

Xcelsius Dashboard on SAP R/3 Table using BSP and XML Mapping

Hi Experts,
I have developed a simple dashboard on small data set (10 records) that I am fetching from a R/3 Table into BSP and generating XML from there and consuming it in Xcelsius (SAP R/3 + BSP + XML Mapping).
Now I want to fetch data based on Variables values that should be passed from the dashboard at the runtime and should display the data accordingly. Any help on how it can be achieved?
Thanks..!!
Sharad

Hi,
You could try doing this by using XML data connection. You would have to make use of Enable load to get the data from XML and Enable send to send data back to XML from dashboard.
This would require you to write a script.
Thanks,
Amit

XML - 0112 Error on parsing using SAX and xml file in InputSource object.

I need to parse a XML string and extract some information. I have to use SAX parser. I'm converting hte string to InputSource and then trying to parese.
i'm getting XML-0112 error, my guess is that it is not able to locate DTD file but i tried hardcoding the whole path in DOCTYPE tag.
i tried doing setSystemId also but no luck.

Can you post a simple test case to look at?

Trouble Using Netbeans and XML Schema

I am currently experimenting on using XML files to store data for a game that I am developing. I had been using NetBeans 5.5 to validate my XML Schema (I am still new to XSD); however, now I am getting errors and have been trying for the better part of the week but am still unable to resolve them. Here is a clip from one of the schemas:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           xmlns:cdt="http://JoaL.blissfulTragedy.com/Characters"
           targetNamespace="http://JoaL.blissfulTragedy.com/Characters" >
    
    
    <xs:simpleType name="name">
        <xs:restriction base="xs:NMTOKEN">
            <xs:maxLength value="15"    />
            </xs:restriction>
        </xs:simpleType>
... When I validate the XML (the two down arrows) I get the following errors for every restriction I have declared:
s4s-att-invalid-value: Invalid attribute value for 'base' in element 'restriction'. Recorded reason: UndeclaredPrefix: Cannot resolve 'xs:NMTOKEN' as a QName: the prefix 'xs' is not declared.After retyping the file three times I tried one of the stock NetBeans schemas, which will produce the same error whenever I add a restriction through the UI.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated :P

I think this is a dirty great bug in the Sun version of the apache Xerces classes that were bundled with jdk1.5.
I've had similar problems, and it seems to boil down to the fact that the NamespaceSupport class's getURI method does == instead of .equals when looking up the uri for a particular prefix. I'm told that this is a deliberate feature for the Apache stuff, and that the class assumes interned strings or strings that have gone through their internal SymbolTable mechanism, and that I can work around it by using interned strings. However, it is one of their classes that fails to intern the string (or put it through the symbol table etc.), so that doesn't really make sense as there are no hooks into this stuff.
They have even marked the bug as closed/fixed, and I'm attempting to re-raise it at present (so it'll be fixed in about ten years then).

General questions about using webservices and xml as opposed to an oracle driver

Dear Experts; I have a general question which I have yet to test. Is it faster to use an ODBC driver to connect and retrieve data from an Oracle database than creating a .net webservices and using an XML to get the data for your web application. THank you

At some point in the architecture stack some component will need to access the database in order to get the information from the database. That component will need to use an Oracle client driver.

Using onload and XML

Hi, I have a project where I load XML, SWF and image files
into my MAIN.swf. This makes my project dynamic and easy to work
with, but it only works now and again and is NOT consistant. If it
fails I don't get an error even though I've put some error
reporters in and it only takes a Ctrl shift refresh to work!!!
The other point I must make is that the MAIN.swf is
duplicated in different folders picking up the correct stuff that
is relative to it. When I test each individual MAIN.swf I have to
refresh to get the right imformation! again it only takes a refresh
to work.
I'm not a AS guru but have got experience in other coding
lanuages. I'm lost here, please help if you can.
Thanks in advance.
Simon.

Hi, as you pointed out I couldn't find anything wrong with it
either. I have in another app this code which is the way you are
suggesting I think...
This works ok but I only load one XML into this app and
hadn't really seen any reason to ditch the other code when it
works, granted not consistently.
Not sure what you meant by sequenced. I would’ve
thought the code would load one XML and then load the next. The
structure has changed to make it work but it's still doing the same
thing!!!
When you say the server might have messed up i did try it on
other servers which also had the same result, basically worked now
and again! It works more than not.
No, I don't work at community.mx.com, but trying to fix this
problem I looked into cache issue's etc.
