Import XML from Web

I would prefer to use Numbers for something a lot of people use google docs for, but i can't see hwere to do this.
Basically, I need to import a value from a web based XML source.
in google docs I do something like importXML("url","Value")
can't seem to find where to do it. Does the latest version of Numbers have a feature like this?

Tom,
No, Numbers doesn't have that function. Yvan Koenig, who has contributed much in this forum, wrote a script to go out and get stock quotes, as I recall, but I don't know how flexible it was concerning alteration of the target URL. You can browse his folder at box.com if you want to look for it, or search the discussions for the topic.

Import/Load XML from Web Service or URL?

Hi,
Like many, I'm new to LCD 8.2. I have a form with subforms and repeating rows currently bound via a schema, but that can change if need be. I'm able to import/export file-based XML and that process works well.
However I'd rather not subject my end-users to browsing for an XML file, and loading it, and I'd like to provide something more elegant. In short, I'd like to import XML from either a web service (returning a single value being the XML document) or by loading the XML directly from a URL by a single button click.
Is this possible?
Much appreciated,
Dave

Export/Import xml from dynamic pdf form using java

Hi,
I have been searching for the last 2-3 days on the internet for this. Some posts do talk about it, but none have provided the answer I was looking for. Hopefully this is the correct forum to post the question in.
I am working on a desktop swing application that works on extracting and changing data in a XFA form, I would like to export the form's content modify it and import it back using java. This is so easy with the Adobe Reader, where it nicley exports the form content as an XML document, you can change it manually and the import the data back. I am searching for a way of doing this in java. I found XPAAJ.jar mentioned in some forums, that may make this easy. I havent been able to use it, since I cant find it anywhere.
I found a blog from Mike Potter
http://blogs.adobe.com/mikepotter/2006/07/download_xpaaj.html
This says that XPAAJ is free as long as I use it on forms developed using livecycle. I dont own livecycle, but the forms that I am working has been built using livecycle. So my questions are:
1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
Thanks
Sethu

Hi Sethu;
First, its important to know that xpaaj never was a supported piece of software. It was supplied "as is" with no support from Adobe. It has been pulled and is no longer available from the Adobe web site. Mike's blog is from 2006, so its really old information.
1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
While the xpaaj library will import and export data to/from a form on the client, Adobe now recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms server.
2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
The license stated that you need to own one of Adobe's server side products (not LiveCycle Designer, but one of the server side LiveCycle products).
3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
XPAAJ was pulled by Adobe. They found a few bugs and since it was unsupported software they just pulled it from the web site.
4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
Not from Adobe. Adobe recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms software for merging data and forms.
5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
As far as I know there Adobe doesn't have a client side library available for this (merging dynamic XDP based forms with data).

Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

Hi,
I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

How to read XML from web page inside servlet/jsp ?

i have a url, which on sending request, shows XML in browser.
Now i need to read this XML in browser and then manipulate it according to my need and display it on another page.
actually the process is. :
1) i have to first retrieve an xml from other site. (XML will only be shown in browser)
2.)then i have to read the Xml and show it in according to my requirements.
Is there any way to read XML directly from a Web Page ??
is their logic to accomplish this.
e.g in Servlet i can do somewhat like this :
String wholeXml=Somemethod(url);
Please Advice

Hi,
if u wanna extract data from XML. you can use Digester(Apache-jakarta) parser. All u need to create the beans(as per the data in xml), that will be populated by Digester.
Digester takes xml(string) as parameter and populates the bean specified.
U can use this bean in ur JSP.
:::Note:::; use Digester in ur servlet.
for more read:::

I hope it shall work..

[JS] Simple question: Is importing XML from variable of XML datatype still not possible?

Hi,
Am I correct assuming that there is still no way to import XML into an XML element, directly from a variable of data-type XML?
Will I still need to save data to disk, just to be able get it into the XML structure?
Thanks,
Andreas

I totally agree. I look for this improvement once in a while, when I do changes and improvements in my code. I hoped I just hadn't noticed some other way to do it "in memory". It seems very unnecessary with this disk access.
I filed a feature request at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.
Perhaps more people wish for the same... and evntually the XML import functions will be able to handle an XML datatype object as argument.
Best regards,
Andreas

How to import images from web via CSV in Indesign CS4?

Hi,
I am using Indesign CS4 and i want to import pictures from my homepage.
I have a CSV export from a database with products and the url to the
product picture. I want to import the information for the products and
the picture via data merge. I added the @ in the name of the column
where the url to the pictures is. Everything works perfect when I use
a lokal path, but I need to get the pictures from the website.
Is it possible to import pictures from a website via CSV data merge?
What steps are needed for that?
Would be great if you could help me.
Best Regards.

thank you all for your answers, that was what i thought.
yes, it starts with http://domainnaime.... it's from an extern webspace
then i will backup all pictures and put them in the local network and try over ip-address if that also won't work then I'll copy then locally
altough, it would be great if it works via ip-address

Import customers from WEB to GUI

Hi all!
Need to import customers from SAPNET to SAPGUI.
Heard that this can be done using SPRO-IMG...
Help please

Hello Sindry,
SAPNET is basically the Destination of RFC SAPOSS or the SAP backend and SAPGUI is a graphical user interface?
You question, nor your requirement is clear. Are you refering to maintaining customer numbers as a VAR ort CCC?
Where you are running service desk and manage multiple cutomer numbers?
This is the only thing I can think that might possibly relate.
Please expand out your question with enough detail to know what you are trying to do and wht problems you are having trying to do it?
This would lead to better responses.
Thank you kindly.

and some text show up. How do you open an existing website into

GET, Modify, POST XML from Web Service Requests (Webtests)

I'm using load testing to exercise an API, so I'm creating many small webtests which mimic typical user operations. One of my operations will be a GET of transaction data and a PUT of that same data, slightly modified.
I'm able to capture the response from the GET in an extraction rule and resubmit to the API, the question is how to manipulate the XML so that there's a small typical edit. What's the best way to do this?
I understand the nature of the web test plug-ins, as the "cartilage" around the bones of the webservice requests. I would much rather angle towards a plugin than convert to a coded test and modify that way. I like the normal non-coded
test interface but I dont know that the webtest plugin nor webtest request gives me the granularity the coded webtest does. Unfortunately, I dont like the fact I can't easily debug through the coded webtest.
This seems like a straightforward operation. Do I understand all my options? How would you do this?

On further review, I might have figured this out. I misunderstood something I read online. The web test request plug-ins can be associated with an individual service call and aren't automatically applied to all service calls in a web performance
test collection.
.. I can do something like this to access my captured context information and manipulate the XML via XDocument/XElement. - This demonstrates how to get my captured {{ResponseDocument}} from the extraction rule.
public class XmlModification : WebTestRequestPlugin
public override void PreRequest(object sender, PreRequestEventArgs e)
MessageBox.Show(e.WebTest.Context["ResponseDocument"].ToString());

Import photo from web to iphoto not working

I follow the directions of Apples own design to download photos to a folder and then transfer them into an album in iPhoto. Each time I do so, I get the follow error message:
__Can't make «class impo» of application "iPhoto" into type boolean. (-1700)__
Here is a link to page describing how to do this.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/automator/example2.html
Thought maybe had a corrupt or something wrong with library. I decided to copy library to new drive and start fresh with a new library. Used the program iPhoto Library Manager to do this. Now I have deleted the old library under Pictures and have created new library. Still the same results.
I also try the contextual method where I can select "Add Image to iPhoto Library" but nothing happens there either. I don't get the error message.. iphoto launches but no added image.
This has never worked for me. Anyone have any ideas?

I have been sucessfully downloading linked photos from some web pages with Automator. I have been able to download them into a folder on the desktop with
out using iPhoto. It is the website that determines if they can be downloaded. If each page of the website has a different URL and each photo has it's own URL then they can be downloaded by the page with Automator. If the URL at the top of the page remains the same as you move from page to page or image to image then Automator will not download any of the images. My website is the type with a different URL for each page and image. Give it a try with Automator. http://www.philsaeronauticalstuff.com. I use tables to build my webpage;not CSS.

Having a problem parsing XML from web service & dropdown list

I have 2 data connections that are programmatically invoked via exit event on different fields in form. Both have identical code with only difference is that one populates a multiselect list box and one populates a drop down list. The one that populates the listbox works fine. Everytime Field A changes, it is fired and the results parsed then listblox updated. The one with the drop down list is not working at all. The form is used in Workspace. When I use the javascript debugger, I see the correct node values output to the console window. The problem is that the value is not successfully added to the drop down list existingFileNumber. Anyone have any great ideas? Like I said, this works perfectly in the same form for a different web service and a listbox.
Here is the code for firing and parsing the dropdown list data:
Form.sRoutingTransmittalSlip.sPreparer.existingFileNumber.clearItems();
Form.sRoutingTransmittalSlip.phaseHidden.rawValue="PI";
xfa.connectionSet.getInfo.execute(0);
var pls2=xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup","pls2");
pls2.loadXML(Form.sRoutingTransmittalSlip.fileNumbersHidden.rawValue,false,true);
xfa.datasets.data.nodes.append(pls2);
var dataGroup=xfa.resolveNode("xfa.data.pls2.Matters");
var dataGroupLength=dataGroup.nodes.length;
if (dataGroupLength==0) {}
else {
for (var i=0;i<dataGroupLengthl;i++){
console.println(dataGroup.nodes.item(i).nodes.item(0).value);
Form.sRoutingTransmittalSlip.sPreparer.existingFileNumber.addItem(dataGroup.nodes.item(i ).nodes.item(0).value);

Do this instead
[Bindable]
var xlTopics:XMLListCollection;
private function LoadResults(event:ResultEvent):void{
var xmlResult = XML(event.result); //only use lastResult in
binding expressions
trace(xmlResult.toXMLString()); //to be sure of what you have
xlTopics = new XMLListCollection(xmlResult .children());
//all the child nodes of the root
