Web Service Security with SAML - Invalid XML signature

Hello together,
we want to build a scenario where we want to use Web Service Security with SAML.
The scenario will be
WS Client (Java Application) -> WS Adapter -> Integration Engine -> WS Adapter-> CRM (Web AS ABAP 7.01 SP 3)
SAP PI release is 7.11 (SP Level 4)
We want to use the SAML Authentification from WS Client to PI and from PI to Web AS ABAP.
The SAML authentifications between the WS Client and PI works when there is no SAML auth between PI and CRM.
But we get following error at calling the CRM system when we want to communicate with SAML:
<E_TEXT>CX_WS_SECURITY_FAULT:Invalid XML signature</E_TEXT>
Has somebody an idea of the possible reason for the error.
Thanks in advance
Stefan

Invalid xml decl while creating template for a report created in BIP

Hi
I am in the process developing a report - extracting data from an xmltype column. I defined my query - as simple as (for now):
select xmlcol.getclobval() from table1
The way information is stored in each xmltype column is with the xml declaration - something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rootelem>
<a>adjaghd</a>
<b>adjaghd</b>
<c>adjaghd</c>
</rootelem>
So when I get the output, I have the declaration (...xml version...)for each row returned. I am assuming that being the reason when I try to create the template in work for this report, it given me Invalid XML Decl. How can I extract from xmltype column without getting the header information for each row?

Anyone can answer this question please?

I feel this xml output is not like the regular xml output. Do you know why it is diffrent from the regular xml xml output? Please comment on this matter.
Thanks,
Scott Chang
What do you mean by regular xml document? Are you referring to fact that its missing a root element? if yes it can be added as below
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT
p.NameStyle AS "processing-instruction(nameStyle)",
p.BusinessEntityID AS "Person/@ID",
p.ModifiedDate AS "comment()",
pp.PhoneNumber AS "text()",
FirstName AS "Person/Name/First",
MiddleName AS "Person/Name/Middle",
LastName AS "Person/Name/Last",
EmailAddress AS "Person/Email"
FROM Person.Person p
INNER JOIN Person.EmailAddress e
ON p.BusinessEntityID = e.BusinessEntityID
INNER JOIN Person.PersonPhone pp
ON p.BusinessEntityID = pp.BusinessEntityID
FOR XML PATH('ElementName'),ROOT('RootName');
replace ElementName and RootName with whatever name you need to set for element as well as the root element

Error in moni as invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x16) was found

Hello Experts,
I am facing an issue in Production interface is Proxy - -> JDBC data is passing in ECC successfully in PI moni it is showing error
as Runtime Exception when executing application mapping program com/sap/xi/tf/_MaterialPlantFromSAP_to_MaterialPlantToDYNAMINE_; Details: com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException; An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x16) was found in the element content of the document.
when i try to open the payload it is showing data is too long when i click on open screen is getting hang showing as not responding.I have checked in the ECC it is also showing data is too long when i click on open after 1 min payload is opening when i try to copy the payload and paste in Message mapping test tab again screen is getting hanging when i try to test with 20 or 30 records in Mapping it going through.
I have downloaded that XML file from ECC moni it is 8.83 MB .
PI can process this huge file ? please suggest me how to pass data in chunks .And also i am not understanding error is due to Payload has not correct data or Payload is huge.
Please throw some light on the issue any help is highly appreciated.

Praveen Reddy

Hi Praveen,
you need a HEX editor. Please download one from this link
http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm
Here in the editor search for the HEX value 0X16 and see the corrosponding charcater in payload.
Try getting rid of the character before it reaches Integrtaion engine possibly with java mapping.

An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the prolog of the docu

Hi folks,
I'm using the SAX parser to parse a small xml file. If I use that file in IE, there its parsing correctly and displaying the xml in the tree structure.
But in my Java code its throwing
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the prolog of the document.
The xml parsing code of my program is
XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(
"org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
HelpPartHandler hp = new HelpPartHandler();
parser.setContentHandler(hp);
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("sample.xml","r");
byte Contents[] = new byte[(int)raf.length()];
StringReader sr = new StringReader(new String(Contents));
InputSource is = new InputSource(sr);
parser.parse(is);
The xml file is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT>
<NODE> Java </NODE>
</ROOT>
Please let me know the mistakes what I have done. Looking for the reply.
Thanks in Advance
Prabu

The message seems clear to me. Your document contains a null character, which is not valid in an XML document. Take it out of the document, and change whatever produced the document to not put it there. (I hope you don't consider Microsoft software to be standards-compliant.)

How to catch invalid XML inside orchestration

I have an Passthrough Pipeline and passing an invalid XML , I am unable to capture inside an orcestration.
I get the error -
The published message could not be routed because no subscribers were found.
If i pass valid XML orchestration picks up and process it. Is there any way to capture this in orchestration
Regards
Suresh

I believe your orchestration will have a Typed Schema, therefore the subscription of Orchestration will be as below-
ReceivePortID == [Port ID] and MessageType == [MessageType of your msg at first Receive Shape]
So when you are using XML Receive Pipeline it promotes the MessageType element in the incoming message
which helps in satisfying the above filter.
However if you use PassThrough pipeline it doesn't touches the incoming message at all and thus no MessageType
was not promoted so the above filter condition is not met.
If you want to receive Untyped Message in Orchestration you will have to create a msg of type System.XML.XMLDocument
and assign it to first receive shape.
This will generate filter condition as- ReceivePortID
== [Port ID], without MessageType, which will allow orchestration to subscribe your message

Prashant

Invalid XML character in web service answer of MS Exchange

Hello Forum!
We have to look up contacts in the global address list of a Microsoft Exchange server.
The current solution uses the web services that have been introduced in version 2007 of MS Exchange.
Unfortunately some records returned by the MS Server cause a javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException. The Exception
tells us that a parser error occurred. The Exception says:
Message: Character reference "&#x7" is an invalid XML character.
The Java classes used for accessing the Exchange web services are generated using the jaxws plugin and the application
is running on the Glassfish application server v2 ur1.
The only solution we can think of right now is to access the XML stream returned by the Exchange server before it is handed over
to the parser in order to replace the invalid characters.
Can anyone point me to some documentation or give me an example of how to intercept the XML parsing process used by the jaxws
component?
Any other ideas for a solution are of course also appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Henning Malzahn

In addition to that MS is not very responsive when it comes to Java questions.Yes, but "Your software is producing malformed XML" is not a Java question.
I can imagine that filtering the stream isn't very easy - are you able to provide some links to additional
information that can help us getting started in that direction?A subclass of FilterInputStream whose read() method calls the superclass's read() method a second time when the input is between 0 and 19, or whatever are the invalid XML characters?

Invalid XML Document in BPEL Human Task - TaskService

Hi Experts
I am getting the following run time error in BPEL console in my bpel process which has got a human task.
==================================================================
Invalid xml document.*
According to the xml schemas, the xml document is invalid. The reason is: Error::cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '' is not a valid value for 'dateTime'.*
Error::cvc-type.3.1.3: The value '' of element 'expirationDate' is not valid.*
Please make sure that the xml document is valid against your schemas.*
==================================================================
BPEL console is validating all incoming and outgoing XML document against the relevant schema since the configuration property, validateXML has
set to strict in the BPE console domain, which it has to be.
This complain is regarding the element expirationDate in the response message of the human task, which cannot be explicitly set in the bpel process.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Hi
This has been escalated to Oracle and has been identified as a bug.
Anyway, can you please explain bit more about you workaround?

RFC to JDBC - Character reference invalid XML character

Dear all Gurus,
I have developed a RFC to JDBC scenareo and when trying to pass data i get a error saying (sxmb_moni) - "Runtime exception occurred during application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_de_cx_xd01_va01_2_Siebel_; com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException:Character reference ("&#00") is an invalid XML character"
I dont pass any blank values here & tried to pass one value(there is only one not null value in the table) to the Oracle Table again above error accurs.

Hi,
You can solve this problem performing following steps in your ECC system:
1. Go to transaction sm59 and locate the RFC Destination for your PI system. Double-click to open it.
2. Perform a "Unicode Test" using the button in top menu or pressing Ctrl+F5. The result will either say "Target is a unicode system" or "is NOT a unicode system".
3. Go to "MDMP & Unicode" tab page and set Non-Unicode or Unicode connection mode, depending on the result of your test in step 2.
Alternatively, you can also find your Sender Communication Channel in PI's ID and set the Unicode indicator there - it should be consistent with what is set in sm59 in your backend system.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Invalid XML characters

When parsing String to XML, I get org.xml.sax.SAXParseException, with the message: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xb) was found in the element content of the document.
What are invalid XML characters? How do I avoid this Exception?
Thanks.

Here is what the XML Recommendation says are valid characters for XML:Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF]Invalid characters are anything else. And it should be obvious that to avoid that exception you should not attempt to parse files that contain any invalid characters.

Javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder to skip invalid XML characters?

Hi,
I convert XML files into flat files. In doing so I call the API DocumentBuilder.parse(File f). If the XML file f contains an invalid XML character, the API throws a SAXException.
My question is: while I know that certain invalid XML chars are not part of the data and therefore can be safely ignored in the conversion, is there a way to tell the API to skip those chars?

Nope. Compliant XML parsers are required to parse the XML as it is and not to "repair" it in any way. Your best option is not to have badly-formed XML in the first place, so if you are the one generating the XML, you should fix that process. But if you have bozo customers generating it, and you can't make them do it right, then pre-process the XML to drop the bad characters.
