Introduction of XML

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages. It is classified as an extensible language, because it allows the user to define the mark-up elements. XML's purpose is to aid information systems in sharing structured data, especially via the Internet, to encode documents, and to serialize data; in the last context, it compares with text-based serialization languages such as JSON and YAML.

See if the Text 'oldText' actually has any text within it. Sometimes in DOM parsing, you will get something like:
Element
   Text (blank)
   Text (actual)
   Text (blank)Whereas you would expect to receive:
Element
   Text (actual)See if that is the case. If yes, modify your logic to iterate through the child text nodes until one with actual text inside of it (getNodeValue()) is found.

XML Training Ideas

Anybody know of or able to recommend any good XML courses?
Thanks

Not aware of particular training (might check Oracle University), but if you're looking for a one-stop-shop book that will teach you what you need to know to use Oracle and XML together, my Building Oracle XML Applications is sure to please. About 800 pages of solid examples to learn from, as well as a great, simple introduction to XML and XSLT technologies, too.
I saw that it's finally available from Amazon, Fatbrain, and others online today, as well as from the publisher.

Design strategic with XML

Hi Java expert around the world.
As far as i concern, i found that XML is just like another database system which is hierachy in nature, that store information about a web content.
Why we use XML and not other RDBMS to store such information?
Pls provide the advantages that can shows XML is better strategic.
Thanks.

ouch! i don't know where you've found this kind of monstruous information about XML...
here is the W3C's introduction to XML: Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere.

How to create several colums if many rows

Hi,
I have a problem with finding a technical solution. If I have more than 30 records, I want to put them in the next column. How do I do this in xsl (HTML output):
|PCS|REV|DATE | |PCS|REV|DATE |
| 1 | 1 |xx.xx.xx| | 5 | 1 |xx.xx.xx|
| 2 | 1 |xx.xx.xx| | 6 | 1 |xx.xx.xx|
| 3 | 1 |xx.xx.xx| | 7 | 1 |xx.xx.xx|
| 4 | 1 |xx.xx.xx|
Is this something you can help me with?
Where can I learn more about xsl, xpath, xml, xslt etc?

My book Building Oracle XML Applications has a technical introduction to XML, XML Namespaces, XPath, XSLT, and contains 17 chapters of examples of using these technologies together with the Oracle XML platform in Java, PL/SQL, and with XSQL Pages. You can checkout reviews at: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565926919
Here's a solution to your XSLT problem.
Given an XML source like:
<terje>
<rec rev="a" date="xx.xx.xxxx"/>
<rec rev="b" date="xx.xx.xxxx"/>
<rec rev="c" date="xx.xx.xxxx"/>

Error message with procedure

Hello,
I am totally stuk.
I have research and read but I just can't figure it out.
I tried to follow examples and i thought i had it right. I guess not...
I am useing oracle10g 10.2.0.3
this is a transaction procedure that I have been working on all day.
I thought I was close.
The exercise that I am doing is practicing with the rollback and savepoint.
The exercise said not to use parameters.
can someone please help me to understand this error and maybe suggest an idea?
The number below "56", appeared when i enter the execution. i don't know why it displayed.
My procedure won't run enough to show the warning. I had to enter a "/" to show the warning.
On top of that I totally don't understand the error message. I understand that the begin and the end is required in a procedure.
so can someone help me !!
the error messaage:
SQL> @c:\cmis\proc_5\exc_3.sql

Insane XML Import, Huge Project, Duplicate file names work around...

I planned on kicking off my journey attempting to edit a massive multi year documentary on FCPX with a nice introduction of the blog I'm going to keep about the experience, but I've run into a bit of a roadblock, or maybe major speed bump at least before even getting to that point. I wanted to share what is working as a work around for me and you guys can tell me how I'm doing it wrong.
Ok, I will try to explain this as succinctly as possible. I'll write in somewhat stream of consciousness just to try and get through it quicker... Basically, after discovering the work around below, I am now utterly confused on how FCPX handles the relationship between its own database of where media is stored, and the actual media itself. I have plenty experience on FCPX now, probably done 30-40 pro commercial jobs on it over the last year since XML became doable as I'm also a Resolve Colorist and all the FCPX projects where hardcore coloring product spots. For commercial work, I never needed to worry about splitting up footage up over multiple Events. Everything, all in one, FCPX handled it no problem. (well the occasional beach ball, but that seems to be a thing with FCPX in general)
This will be my 10th feature documentary as an Editor. Every one before it was either on Avid's many flavors over the last 12 years or FCP Studio. When this new film came along, I made the decision a few months ago to use FCPX for a few reasons, but mostly because I'm insane and I like to try to mix it up for myself in a career that can get stale quick if you aren't willing to be that way. The film was shot over 2+ years, every shoot was multi cam 5D (yes i know, looks great, but please kill me), I haven't done the math on length, but there is over 10,000 clips of video (this is actually medium in size compared to what I've dealt with before). Its 5D, so theres external audio for everything. FCPX's syncing is great, but I've learned that theres an unsaid window of heads and tales clips must fall within to sync properly with the nearby clips, if they are too far apart FCPX gives up. One shoot day could have 3 cams, 50 clips each, and 2 audio files to sync to, FCPX simply cannot handle this, so off to Plural eyes they went, no problems.
Ok, all this is relevant eventually I swear! Again, in the past, all in one event, no problem. I tried for fun to bring all media into one Event on this film. It worked, but there is a 10+ second spinning beach ball for every single move you make, so thats no good. Ok, I'll separate the Events out to, lets say, each shoot month. Well that's dumb, in verite documentary, any shot could be the first, any shot could be the last, you need a command over all searchable footage at all times. Shift selecting all events to search *****, and it actually takes longer for FCP to reload each event each time than it does to just have the one massive one. So no go there. Next hair brained idea... What if make a new Event that is just Compound Clips of all the other Event's contents and do more with Markers and Favorites in logging that I was planning to parse it all out. That way I'm working with and FCPX is dealing with 50-60 clips instead of 10,000+ Quick test, Cmd-A, Opt-G, boom, boom, boom, move all to dedicated to Event, hide huge Event, BEHOLD, that works! FCPX chokes a little bit on the insane length of some of the clips, but searching, and general performance is back on par!
So your saying to yourself "Ok *********, sounds like you figured it out, what's the problem." Well to you I say, "Not so fast!" Remember, that was just a quick test using the media I had imported into the massive 10,000+ clip Event. To do this project proper, I am having to import Multicam sync'd XMLs from Plural Eyes. And this is where it all starts to fall apart. A little foreshadowing for your eager eyes. 10,000+ files all shot with multiple 5D's over the course of years. What does that mean? many, many duplicate file names!
FCPX as well all know irritatingly imports XML's as new Events, not into existing ones. This obviously takes a lot of burden off media management because with a new Event comes a new database referencing its own version of the raw media. All well and good, and I'm betting its starting to click for some if you advanced users where I'm finally going with this. So I have 50 or so XMLs to bring in, all done no problem. Now I want to replicate that singular Event like I did with the Compound Clip test and have it all in one place to be my master as extensive logging begins for easy searching once editing begins. Highlight the Events, click Merge Events. NOPE. I get a new "Kill Yourself Now" error (a term I coined for Out of Memory and General Error messages in FCP Legacy meaning there ain't much you can do about it): "Two or more files have the same name. Change the names and try again, because I don't know what the **** to do with them." Ok I made up that last part but that's basically what it's saying. Just take the variable out of the equation, this happens with every which way you could try to get the clips together. Merge Events, dragging events on top of each other, dragging just the Multicam clip alone, nothing gets passed that message. What's worse is that while Batch Renaming seems like a solution, the renames do not populate inside the created clips and there is no way to Batch Rename those. Renaming everything at the finder level isn't so great because then I'd have to resync and theres an offline/online thing going here where the film has to be reconformed eventually.
Basically, I've found that FCPX handles media management in completely different ways depending on whether you are importing into one Event yourself or doing essentially what is a new import with FCPX moving or merging Events. If you bring in all the media to one Event, on a macro level FCPX goes through file by file making aliases referencing the master file. If it hits a duplicate, it makes a parenthesis counter, and keeps going. And with the genius of FCPX metadata, that file name doesn't even matter, you can change it at the Finder level and FCPX will keep the link intact. BUT for some reason if you try to do this outside the realm of a single Event and combine files after the fact a different process takes over in creating this database system and can't handle the duplicates. I can't totally figure the reason other than it probably is scared to change the originally referenced alias to something else (which it shouldn't be scared of since Merge Events deletes the original anyway).
This is where it gets INSANE and where I lose all understanding of what is going on, and believe me it was a delicate understanding to begin with. It comes in to play with the work around I figured out. I make the master Event with the 10,000+ clips. Then I import all the XMLs as dedicated Events. Now, I then drag the Multicam clips into the master Event, it WORKS! just takes it, no "Kill Yourself Now" error. Stranger still, now with the switched referenced Event, it even takes into account which aliased duplicate file name it's referencing in the Original Media folder. Somehow, it's taking into account the original file path and saying "Ok, I see 5 instances of MVI_5834.mov. Based on the original file path or maybe creation date or god knows what, it must be MVI_5834 (fcp3).mov." It connects perfectly. I can even remove the old XML imported Event with no problem. Crazier yet, I can now move those again to the dedicated Event I wanted originally that only contains those Multicam or Compound Clips.
So instead of going straight from A to C, going from A to B to C works even though that actually seems way more complicated. Why can't FCPX handle Merge Events and dragging clips the same way it handles media imported into a single Event. And weirder still, why can't FCPX handle the (fcp1,2,3...) appending in the same scenario. But if the appended links are already there, No Problem. And for the love of god, it'd be nice to important XML's into existing Events and make the correct referencing happen right from the get go, which is really the source of all the above headache. I'd have no problem helping FCPX with a little manual pointing in the right direction just like any other NLE needs.
Ok, having said all of that crap above, my question is, have I missed something completely simple I should have done instead? Now that I have everything in place how I originally envisioned, I think I will still play around a little bit more to make sure FCPX is really going to be able to handle this project. I'm at a stage right now where going another direction is still an option, although the dare devil in me wants to make this work. Media management aside, once you start editing on a FCPX timeline, its hard to go back to anything else. Apple is going to have to figure out some way not to access to everything at all times to work fluidly or big projects like this are never going to be practical in FCPX.
Sorry for the long confusing post....

I'm having the exact same problem, but I know nothing of ruby scripts. I've exhausted my resources with tech support, and after literally hours of work with them it seems I now am faced with either re-rating each individual song, or pointing iTunes to each song that it can't locate. Is yours a solution that could help me? How can I find out more about Ruby Scripts? Thanks for your help, hellolylo (or anyone else who might also be able to help...)

I need to know how to import xml files into indesign cs6.

My client wants to send me xml text files to import into Indesign for a multi-page publication. I don't have a clue where to start. Can you point me to a tutorial that would help me figure this out?
I have a sample file that looks like this:

HELP!!!
SGAREN

Hello Sally,
First, I have only heard/read good things about the book Steve recommends. It is on my to buy list one day. Been awaiting a long deserved vaction to pick it up to read.
I approach XML files pretty much like I do any text file I am sent in that I will import or copy/paste a text file into a frame in ID and begin setting my styles. With XML, though, I first clean it up, move closing tags up to their logical close lines, remove spurious codes that mean something in HTML but don't necessarily belong in the XML file (like &#x2019 which is an apostrophe so I do a search and replace. But for   which is a non-breaking space I simply search and replace with a regular space in general), and make sure the XML validates.
Validation is much like making sure an HTML page is formed properly. I use an XML editor (XML BluePrint) and a text editor (UltraEdit) for these tasks. If I had to only have one or the other, I suppose the XML editor is what I would use.
I always show the import options when I import the XML and make sure that I link to the file.
So once a sample of the XML is on a page in ID (via File | Import XML), I highlight text within a tag, say like in your example above, the Providor name, and make it like I want and then create a new style. I generally name the styles as per the XML tag. Later on, that makes mapping tags to styles a little easier.
Once I set up all the styles preliminarily, I map the tags to styles. You can do that either via the Tags palette or via the Structure Pane that will appear once the XML is imported. In both cases, it is found via the flyout menu at the top right of their respective windows.
After mapping my styles to the tags, I select the root element in the Structure Pane (the topmost element. In your sample above it is "providors" and delete it. This removes the XML in your ID file. But the styles and tags are still present.
Then I import the XML again and look to makes sure all the tags/elements are styled as intended. I then correct any errors/ommissions. Then...I'll delete the XML again and import the full XML file.
I can upload what I did with your XML sample above so you can compare it to your source file if you would like. You would then see how/where I moved tags. Now, moving the tags is only "necessary" to avoid all the extra blank paragraphs. That can be accomplished by ID's search/replace, too. But I like to start out with the XML cleaned up, so I take the few minutes to do it.
Take care, Mike

? - Is there a way to validate 1 XML record at a time, using the SAX or oth

Hello!
Before running into space problems, i generated an XML file from a 'pipe delimited' file and and then processed that XML file thru a SAXParser 'validator' and the data was correctly validated, using the RELAXNG Schema patterns as the validation criteria!
But as feared, the XML file was huge! (12 billion XML recs. generated from 1 billion 'pipe' recs.) and i am now trying to find a way to process 1 'pipe' record at a time, (ie) read 1 record from the 'pipe delimited' file, convert that rec. to an XML rec. and then send that 1 XML rec. thru the SAXParser 'validator', avoiding the build of a huge temporary XML file!
After testing this approach, its looks like the SAXParser 'validator' (sp.parse) is expecting only (1) StringBufferInputStream as input,and after opening, reading and closing just (1) of the returned StringBufferInputStream objects, the validator wants to close up operations!
Where i have the "<<<<<" you can see where i'm calling the the object.method that creates the 'pipe>XML' records 'sb.createxml' and will be returning many occurances of the StringBufferInputStream object, where (1) StringBufferInputStream object represents (1) 'pipe>XML' record!
So what i'm wondering, is if there is a form of 'inputStream' class that can be loaded and processed at the same time! ie instead of requiring that the 'inputStream' object be loaded in it's entirety, before going to validation?
Or if there is another XML 'validator' that can validate 1 XML record at a time, without requiring that the entire XML file be built first?

Well,i think you can use the streaming API for xml processing provided by weblogic.It is pull model,not push model like SAX.with it,you can select the events you want without having to react to every event,and you can filter the events out.
Sun also provide such streaming API for xml processing,and i got an very simple introduction about it on the Chinese Sun developer site.but i couldn't find any other infomation about it elsewhere! If you have such materials,please send to my email:[email protected],and if I have it,i will be sure to post the links here.hope it helps more or less:)

[Forum FAQ] How do i use xml stored in database as dataset in SQL Server Reporting Services?

Introduction
There is a scenario that users want to create SSRS report, the xml used to retrieve data for the report is stored in table of database. Since the data source is not of XML type, when we create data source for the report, we could not select XML as Data Source
type. Is there a way that we can create a dataset that is based on data of XML type, and retrieve report data from the dataset?
Solution
In this article, I will demonstrate how to use xml stored in database as dataset in SSRS reports.
Supposing the original xml stored in database is like below:
<Customers>
<Customer ID="11">
<FirstName>Bobby</FirstName>
<LastName>Moore</LastName>
</Customer>
<Customer ID="20">
<FirstName>Crystal</FirstName>
<LastName>Hu</LastName>
</Customer>
</Customers>
Now we can create an SSRS report and use the data of xml type as dataset by following steps:
In database, create a stored procedure to retrieve the data for the report in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) with the following query:
CREATE PROCEDURE xml_report
AS
DECLARE @xmlDoc XML;
SELECT @xmlDoc = xmlVal FROM xmlTbl WHERE id=1;
SELECT T.c.value('(@ID)','int') AS ID,
T.c.value('(FirstName[1])','varchar(99)') AS firstName,
T.c.value('(LastName[1])','varchar(99)') AS lastName
FROM
@xmlDoc.nodes('/Customers/Customer') T(c)
GO
P.S. This is an example for a given structured XML, to retrieve node values from different structured XMLs, you can reference here.
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) OR SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). If this is the first time we have opened SQL Server Data Tools, click Business Intelligence
Settings for the default environment settings.
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
In the Project Types list, click Business Intelligence Projects.
In the Templates list, click Report Server Project.
In Name, type project name.
Click OK to create the project.
In Solution Explorer, right-click Reports, point to Add, and click New Item.
In the Add New Item dialog box, under Templates, click Report.
In Name, type report name and then click Add.
In the Report Data pane, right-click Data Sources and click Add Data Source.
For an embedded data source, verify that Embedded connection is selected. From the Type drop-down list, select a data source type; for example, Microsoft SQL Server or OLE DB. Type the connection string directly or click Edit to open the Connection Properties
dialog box and select Server name and database name from the drop down list.
For a shared data source, verify that Use shared data source reference is selected, then select a data source from the drop down list.
Right-click DataSets and click Add Dataset, type a name for the dataset or accept the default name, then check Use a dataset embedded in my report. Select the name of an existing Data source from drop down list. Set Query type to StoredProcedure, then select
xml_report from drop down list.
In the Toolbox, click Table, and then click on the design surface.
In the Report Data pane, expand the dataset we created above to display the fields.
Drag the fields from the dataset to the cells of the table.

I have near about 30 matrics. so I need a paging. I did every thing as per this post and it really works for me.
I have total four columns. On one page it should show three and the remaining one will be moved to next page.
Problem occurs when in my first row i have 3 columns and in next page if I have one columns then it show proper on first page but on second page also it gives me three columns insted of one. the first column data is exactly what I have but in remaining two
columns it shows some garbage data.
I have data like below.
Metric ColumnNo RowNo
1 1
1
2 2
1
3 3
1
4 1
2
so while grouping i have a row parent group on RowNo and Column group on ColumnNo.
can anyone please advice on this.

XML SAX dtd Validation Problem

Hi,
          I’m having problems getting an xml document to validate within Weblogic 8.1. I am trying to parse a document that references both a dtd and xsd. Both the schema and dtd reference need to be substituted so they use local paths. I specify the schema the parser should use and have created an entityResolver to change the dtd reference.
          When this runs as a standalone app from eclipse the file parses and validates without a problem. When deployed to the app server the process seems to be unable read the contents of the dtd. Its not that it cannot find the file (no FileNotFoundException is thrown but this can be created if I delete the dtd) rather it seems to find no declared elements.
          Initial thought was that the code didn’t have access to read the dtd from its location on disk, to check I moved the dtd to within the deployed war and reference as a resource. The problem still persists.
          Code Snippet:
          boolean isValid = false;
          try {
          // Create and configure factory
          SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactoryImpl.newInstance();
          factory.setValidating(true);
          factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
          // To be notified of validation errors in the XML document,
          // add a custom error handler to the document builder
          PIMSFeedFileValidationHandler handler
          = new PIMSFeedFileValidationHandler();
          // Create and Configure Parser
          SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
          parser.setProperty(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA);
          parser.setProperty(NAMESPACE_PROPERTY_KEY, getSchemaFilePath());
          // Set reader with entityResolver for dtd
          XMLReader xmlReader = parser.getXMLReader();
          xmlReader.setEntityResolver(new SAXEntityResolver(this.dtdPath));
          // convert file to URL, as it is a remote file
          URL url = super.getFile().toURL();
          // Open an input stream and parse
          InputStream is = url.openStream();
          xmlReader.setErrorHandler(handler);
          xmlReader.parse(new InputSource(is));
          is.close();
          // get the result of parsing the document by checking the
          // errorhandler's isValid property
          isValid = handler.isValid();
          if (!isValid) {
          LOGGER.warn(handler.getMessage());
          LOGGER.debug("XML file is valid XML? " + isValid);
          } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
          LOGGER.error("Error parsing file", e);
          } catch (SAXException e) {
          LOGGER.error("Error parsing file", e);
          } catch (IOException e) {
          throw new FeedException(e);
          return isValid;

It looks like you clicked on "Post" before you got around to explaining your problem. I don't see any error messages or any description of what was supposed to happen and what happened instead.
Now, I don't know anything about XML Schema, but just guessing at how that unique name feature might be designed, and just guessing that your unique name is actually in the <userId> element, I would suggest that this:
<xsd:unique name="un_name">
<xsd:selector xpath="USER"/>
<xsd:field xpath="."/>
</xsd:unique> is at fault because it doesn't mention the <userId> element anywhere.
