Issue in Conversion of String to XML (xsd) elements.

Hi All,
Please help in resolving the below issue.Please help me ASAP
I am getting a strng value from Db adapter String= Mike,3453,USA
I need to convert the data into xml by using below xsd.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.uss.com/htr/IHCM204/MainRec"

xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
xmlns:tns="http://www.uss.com/htr/IHCM204/MainRec"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified" nxsd:version="NXSD"
nxsd:stream="chars" nxsd:encoding="US-ASCII">

</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</schema>

Say, for Example
If you are getting response from db adapter as abc,def,ghi then use an transform activity to split the string.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:oraext="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/oracle.tip.pc.services.functions.ExtFunc">
<xsl:template match="/">
<ns:StringParsing>
<ns:Name>
<xsl:value-of select='substring(/ns:simpleelement/ns:dbString,1.0, oraext:last-index-within-string(/ns:simpleelement/ns:dbString,",") + 0.0)'/>
</ns:Name>
<ns:Address>
<xsl:value-of select='substring(/ns:simpleelement/ns:dbString,oraext:last-index-within-string(/ns:simpleelement/ns:dbString,",") + 2.0)'/>
</ns:Address>
</ns:StringParsing>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Let me know if it helps you.

Conversion of string into XML object

Hi
I am having some problems with conversion of string (containing XML data) into Flex XML object and binding it later to UI elements to output/maintain this data.
Binding of XML structure to UI elements works perfectly fine if I will do following:
1)      Hardcode XML object within Flex file
2)      Read xml file from repository (xml file inside the Flex project)
3)      Use HTTP request to retrieve XML data
Unfortunately none of the above scenarios suits my solution.
I am developing a prototype application for processing Flex forms inside SAP system. I have decided to make data bindings using XML structure stored in Data Base. When rendering form inside web browser based application I am retrieving corresponding XML schema (empty for new forms and populated for saved forms) and pass it to Flex form as a string type import parameter. Data is being passed correctly (I can display it on TextArea control for instance) but after conversion to XML and binding to DataGrid I am not getting any results.
I am converting string (containing XML) to XML object in following way:
Private var xml_obj:XML = new XML(string_xml );
I am catching any potential errors but conversion is going well. After conversion I am not getting any results after binding it to DataGrid control and I am not able to access any of the nodes using AS code either. At the same time variable xml_obj is not empty (not null).
Any help would be much appreciated.

Michael

First of all sorry for not stating it clearly but I am using Flex 3 for this development (at the moment it is the only choice when embedding Flex objects inside SAP applications).
You must have missed the bit where I am describing how this XML data finds its way inside Flex. I am passing it to Flex as String type parameter during rendering (directly from DB where it is stored).
Now, following code works perfect (XML is embedded inside Flex project):
                <mx:XML id="form_data" source="../assets/example_xml_data.xml"/>
                <mx:Script>

                catch (error:Error)
                                Alert.show(error.toString());
                XML_list = new XMLListCollection(form_data.*);
XML string does find its way inside Flex form. I can display content of variable xml_data in TextArea and all looks fine. Conversion to XML (variable form_data) goes well (no error)

Hello. You can't cast a string to an element, you need to create that element.
Maybe this can help up: http://www.genedavis.com/library/xml/java_dom_xml_creation.jsp

Coversion of String to XML

Hi,
Is there any function or expression in BPEL/XSLT to achieve the conversion of string to xml?
Just like the function "fn-bea:serialize() "in xquery.
Thanks in advance,

Use : oraext:parseEscapedXML(contentString)

XSU error oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Conversion to String failed

Appication Server: 10g, Database: Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g
I have a table 'sw_icd2' in the database that has one column of XMLType.
The code below, attempts to query this table as 'select * from sw_icd2' and display the result. I was able to execute this query in sqlplus.
But when I run a program using XSU in JDeveloper:
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, "select * from sw_icd2");
XMLDocument domDoc = (XMLDocument)qry.getXMLDOM();
domDoc.print(System.out);
StringWriter s = new StringWriter(10000);
domDoc.print(new PrintWriter(s));
System.out.println(s.toString());
qry.close();
I get the following Error:
"oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Conversion to String failed"
Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue? Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Okay, it looks like the problem has something to do with the TIMESTAMP data type in tables.
oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLQuery can't seem to handle tables with the TIMESTAMP data type.
this code ran fine on my machine :
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLQuery;
import java.lang.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class testXMLSQL {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Create the connection
System.out.println("before getConnection ");
Connection conn = getConnection("scott","tiger");
System.out.println("after getConnection ");
// Create the query class
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, "SELECT * FROM EMP");
System.out.println("after OracleXMLQuery object created ");
// Get the XML string
String str = qry.getXMLString();
// Print the XML output
System.out.println("The XML output is:\n"+str);
// Always close the query to get rid of any resources..
qry.close();
} catch(SQLException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
// Get the connection given the user name and password.!
private static Connection getConnection(String username,
String password)
throws SQLException
// register the JDBC driver..
DriverManager.registerDriver(new
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
// Create the connection using the OCI8 driver
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@<server_name>:1521:<sid>",
username,password);
return conn;
Then I created another table :
create table emp_test as select * from emp;
added a timestamp to it :
alter table emp_test add (time timestamp(6));
and filled it with timestamp information :
update emp_test set time = timestamp'2005-09-22 09:26:50.124';
ran the same code but changed the SQL to :
"SELECT * FROM EMP_TEST"
and got the error message :
The XML output is:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Conversion to String failed</ERROR>
looks like bug in OracleXMLQuery object??

String to XML conversion without fatal error?

Can one of you tell me how to convert the folowing string to XML without fatal error?
String s1 = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-6.0"?> <Main> <sub> 12345 </sub> </Main>".

First, you can't have double quotes (") in a string like that, you need to do (\") instead. If you wrote the below line and saved the file as a file_name.xml It should work fine.
import java.io.*;
public class yourclass{
     public static void writeXML(){
          try{
               File xmlOut = new File("file_name.xml");
               BufferedWriter xmlWriter = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(xmlOut));
               String s1 = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-6.0\"?> <Main> <sub> 12345 </sub> </Main>";
               // you can concatenate the strings using a +
               // the \n will create a new line in the file
               String s2 = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-6.0\"?>" + "\n" + "<Main> <sub> 12345 </sub> </Main>";
               xmlWriter.write(s1);
               xmlWriter.close();
          }catch(Exception ex){
               ex.printStackTrace();
}There are a few other ways to do this, the one above is sloppy. One is XStream to convert xml to Java objects and back again. http://xstream.codehaus.org/tutorial.html

Conversion of xml string to xml file

To convert xml string to xml file in java i used
Document XMLDoc=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(new InputSource(new StringReader("<root><main>Title</main></root&g t;")));
But it is showing an error as InputSource cannot be resolved
How to rectify this

I assume you mean there is a compiler error? (It helps if you explain your problem instead of just giving a vague description of it.) It sounds like you have to import InputSource. You do know about the import statements that go at the beginning of a Java class, don't you?

Converting Delimited string to XML message

Hi,
We are trying to convert pipe delimited string into a xml schema using a XSD and BPEL funtion. Consider a scenario in which message has 5 fields with last as 2 optional fields. So the incoming string message can be like "1|2|3" or "1|2|3|4|5". In this case how the XSD should look like, since for each field we have to give "terminatedby" option in the XSD. So the issue is coming for element 3 where the delimiter can be "|" or "eol" (end of line). How to specify that ? Is there any option to use like "optionally terminated by?"
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramesh
Edited by: rameshchandra85 on 2 Aug, 2010 10:00 AM

Hi Ramesh,
You can use below XSD for input file of kind
1|2|3
1|2|3|4|5
1|2|3|4
1|2|3|4|5|6

But in your case if you are getting 5 elements instead of 3 elements in some other file....Use the same and maipulate the last element afterwards.
I think we can not have an element definition for two scenarios.
Update you if i get any..

Issue with Date format - ABAP to XML

Dear Users,
We are currently facing an issue with the date formats in XML.
We have a system (.Net), which has a webservice that we are calling for information from SAP. We created a Proxy class in SAP from the WSDL file and have attempted to use the method that gets us required information based on the Timestamp passed from SAP. However, the timestamp that the INPUT structure uses has a data element XSDDATETIME_Z.
All we can send from SAP is a simple TIMESTAMP, but the .Net system doesn't accept it since it wants the timestamp in XML format i.e. <dd-mm-yyyy>T<hh:mm:ss>Z. SAP documentation says that the field should automatically do conversion from ABAP to XML format, but that doesn't happen. We don't want to build a string from Timestamp in the XML format and send it out since we might surely miss out on the different cases involved.
Can anyone please suggest a way for us to send the date out in the required XML format?
Many thanks!

Hi Vijay,
Look at the below sample code and it works fine, i guess there is something wrong in your code or conversion, post the actual code if you are still not able figure it out with the below example.
DATA: l_xml_string TYPE string,
      l_dat_time TYPE xsddatetime_z.
CALL FUNCTION 'CACS_DATE_GET_TIMESTAMP'
EXPORTING
   I_DATE                         = sy-datum
   I_TIME                         = sy-uzeit
IMPORTING
   E_TIMESTAMP                    = l_dat_time
EXCEPTIONS
   DATE_NOT_FILLED_BUT_TIME       = 1
   DATE_HAS_NO_VALID_FORMAT       = 2
   OTHERS                         = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE root = l_dat_time
RESULT XML l_xml_string.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
write: l_xml_string.
ENDIF.

SAP Soamanager WSDL generates n0:string instead of xsd:string in 7.3

I´m using the Soamanager to create a Service for a Enterprise Service
Provider. The web service is generated based on a custom function
module. My intention is to consume a soap webservice via .net
application. Actually this works fine with the legacy BW 7.0 system.
But after we migrate the web service to the new BW 7.3 system, the web service interface is changed.
I have taken a look at the generated WSDL-file from Soamanager, the soamanager
generates the different type for string parameters. The
Import/Export parameter should be of type xsd:string, but it is
actually n0:string. but i need xsd:string for soap.
I´ve tried several datatypes in function module, e.g string,
char,....but always the same...n0:string instead of xsd:string.
Can you help on how to change the sting type in wsdl?
Thanks,

How about a slight change to the xsd? Try with the following, it seems to work fine:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <xsd:element name="Orders" type="Orders"/>
   <xsd:complexType name="Orders">
      <xsd:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
         <xsd:element name="ligne">
            <xsd:complexType>
               <xsd:sequence>
                  <xsd:element name="Field1" type="xsd:string" />
                  <xsd:element name="Field2" type="xsd:string" />
                  <xsd:element name="Field3" type="xsd:string" />
                  <xsd:element name="Field4" type="xsd:string" />
                  <xsd:element name="Qte" type="xsd:string" />
               </xsd:sequence>
            </xsd:complexType>
         </xsd:element>
      </xsd:choice>
   </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
You might also find this tool useful for testing such scenarios:

By the way - how did you get the xsd that you are currently using?

Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.

Hi ,
I have a table with one of the column(EmpHiredate) datatype is char(10). It has value like "20141023". I need to display this value as date format(dd/mm/yyyy) in report.
Following methods i tried in textbox expression but no luck.
=Format(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy")
=Cdate(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value)
Error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.
Is it possible to convert string to date using SSRS textbox expression ? Can anyone help me with the solution.
Thanks,
Kittu

Hi Jmcmullen,
Found one more issue on the same. I have one value like "00000000" for the column(EmpHiredate)
, when i use above expression values(ex:"20141023")
are displaying in dd/MM/yyyy format in report except value like "00000000" and giving following error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "0000/00/00" to type 'Date' is not valid.
Even i tried to pass its original value("00000000") as below but no luck.
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","00000000",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Also tried this:
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","2000/10/21",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Please Suggest.
Thanks ,

XML string to XML parsing in JCD

I have stored an XML file as a CLOB in the Oracle DB. While fetching this data into JCD using Oracle OTD, I am getting this CLOB field as a string containing the XML. Now I want to parse this XML string to XML, as I need to map the individual fields to an XSD OTD, which will be my output.
Kindly suggest a way to achieve this.

An XSD OTD has an unmarshalFromString() method:
inputFormat.unmarshalFromString( strData );
When putting the XML into the CLOB it could be a good idea to wrap an outputstream into a Writer object in order to make certain that the encoding is correct, depending how the data is represented. When retrieving CLOB data using getCharacterStream() you will get a Reader object where the encoding is already given.

String to XML in ESB

Hi,
i need to convert a string which of XML format to XML..Can it be done in ESB without java embedding.Any inbuilt parsers available?
-venkat

Hi,
I am facing similar problem in using parseEscapedXML in ESB. I have an source "tns:InRequest" which is of String type but internally it contains an XML message compliant to an XSD complex Type element.
<xsd:element name="OutRequest" type="OutRequestType"/>
<xsd:complexType name="OutRequestType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
So I am trying to use parseEscapedXML api to get the DOM object and assign it to OutRequest element of the target.
Can you please help or guide me how to get this working?
Thx..
