Jaxp fails to unmarshall xml document if it contaions the "&" character

Hi,
We are using JAXB in our applications and have recently experienced a problem
with parsing of xml document ( when calling unmarshall method of jaxb ). The problem occurs
when the xml element contains the character & in it f.eks. "Hennes & Maiurets" then it fails to parse
the xml document. We would be very greatful if you could suggest us any workaround.
Thanks in advance
Sazzadul

That's because it's not an XML document. A well-formed XML document cannot contain the & character by itself in a text node, it must be escaped as &. XML parsers will do this automatically, but if you are producing your own XML via ordinary string output, you have to handle this escaping yourself. And the same goes for the other four markup characters.

Failed to open XML document. Failed to retrieve Public ID

I have a client posting to Weblogic 6.1 server with the help of Apache
SOAP 2.2. The posting works fine if the contents of the SOAP message
is small. But when the contents of SOAP reached more than 11KB, the
following error occurs:
Error: Failed to open XML document. Failed to retrieve PUBLIC id or
SYSTEM id from the document. Decrease the number of char between the
beginning of the document and its root element.
The SOAP document looks like:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<mn:sMethodName xmlns:mn="sMethodURI">
<batch appid="1">

</employee>
<employee>
<name>...</name>
<address>...</address>
</employee>
</batch>
</mn:sMethodName>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
The Max Post Size in Weblogic is set to (-1).
The program is able to handle less than 50 items of
<employee>.....</employee>. The error occurs when more than 50 items
are used. The problem is that our application should be able to handle
more than 1000 items of <employee>....</employee>.
My questions are:
1. How should I configure weblogic to solve the problem?
2. How should I configure the deployment of Apache SOAP to solve the
problem?
Pls advise. Thanks.

One can deduce from the error message that the parser is looking for the
<?XML...?> portion of the document because that is where the SYSTEM and
PUBLIC ids are found in the document.

Sorry, but I didn't get what you mean. I thought that was handled by theApache
SOAP API already? And if it couldn't see the XML document header, then whydoes
this only happens when the document size is large? It doesn't haveproblems whenever
the document size is small.

XPath query on multiple namespace XML document

Hi,
I am trying to locate an element in a WordML XML document using XPath.
The structure looks like:
<w:body>
 <wx:sect>
 <aml:annotation aml:id="0" w:type="Word.Bookmark.Start" w:name="DOC0000966"/>
...So I use the following expression "/wordDocument//body/sect" wich gives me a list with the <w:sect> nodes.
Then I search for "annotation[@type='Word.Bookmark.Start']" starting from each <w:sect> node. This yields the <aml:annotation> elem.
So far so good.
Now I have to handle a second case as well.
<w:body>
 <wx:sect>
 <w:p>
 <aml:annotation aml:id="0" w:type="Word.Bookmark.Start" w:name="DOC0000966"/>
...As you can see the <aml:annotation> is nested inside a <w:p> elem.
My intention was to use the expression "//annotation[@type='Word.Bookmark.Start']"to handle both cases, but this expression does not match neither.
I have tried several different alternatives with expressions and NamingContext implementations, none working.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.

Hello,
I decided to remove all namespaces and prefixes from the XML document and now the expression works.
I have chaned the following:
DocumentBuilderFactory is now namespace aware (it isn't by default).
 DocumentBuilderFactory builderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 builderFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);I picked this NamespaceContext implementation from JAXP 1.4 samples and mapped all prefixes and namespaces coming inside the XML.
 NamespaceContextImpl ns = new NamespaceContextImpl();
 ns.bindPrefixToNamespaceURI("aml", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/aml/2001/core");
 ns.bindPrefixToNamespaceURI("dt", "uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C1488");
 ns.bindPrefixToNamespaceURI("o", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office");
 ns.bindPrefixToNamespaceURI("sl", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/schemaLibrary/2003/core");
 ns.bindPrefixToNamespaceURI("v", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml");
 ns.bindPrefixToNamespaceURI("w", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml");
 ns.bindPrefixToNamespaceURI("w10", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word");
 ns.bindPrefixToNamespaceURI("wx", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/auxHint");
 XPathFactory xpathFactory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
 XPath xpath = xpathFactory.newXPath();
 xpath.setNamespaceContext(ns);Finally, I prefixed all elements in xpath expressions.
"//aml:annotation[@w:type='Word.Bookmark.Start']"Happier now,
Mariano.

Generating an XML Document from an internal table in ABAP

Good day to all of you;
With ABAP, in the R/3 system, I'm trying to figure out a way to accomplish the following:
1) SELECT a set of Purchase Order data into an internal table.
2) Generate an XML document, containing the above data, using a specific schema.
I've been playing around with function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT which has the following interface:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
 EXPORTING
 I_FIELD_SEPERATOR = ''
 I_LINE_HEADER = ''
 I_FILENAME = v_fname
 I_APPL_KEEP = ''
 I_XML_DOC_NAME = v_docname
 IMPORTING
 PE_BIN_FILESIZE = v_byte
 TABLES
 I_TAB_SAP_DATA = i_SapData
 CHANGING
 I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA = i_XMLData
 EXCEPTIONS
 CONVERSION_FAILED = 1
 OTHERS = 2.
I'm uncertain as to whether or not the Export parameter, I_XML_DOC_NAME refers to some schema or definition and therefore have been excluding it. In doing so, the generated XML document seems to use the field name/type information from my itab for the tags.
If this function module requires an XML Document Name, how do I create one and where do I store it in R/3? If this is not the recommended solution, is anyone familiar with a way to load an XML schema, retrieve some data then have SAP generate an XML document using the schema?
Many thanks for any help available.

How to delete a node in an XML document

Hi,
My flex plugin loads an XML document that is passed in from
the ExternalInterace. I have a List control that displays data from
this XML document.
The XML looks like:
<document>
<response>
<objectlist>
<list type="typeValue">
<object type="typeValue" name="Name Value" id="GUID
Value1">
<params>
<params>
</object>

</list>
</objectlist>
</response>
</document>
I set the list dataProvider to
xmlDoc.response.objectlist.list.object
Thing is, I want to remove one of the object nodes before I
display the data (that is, i dont want one of the nodes in the XML
document to appear in the list).
How do I do this? I could not find any way to delete an
existing node in the XML api.
-Gaurav

You can either use the "delete" operator:
delete xmlDoc.response.objectlist.list.object[5]
where the object to be deleted might be the fifth down
(you'll have to play with your xml in debug to get the actual
values down) or convert to xmlListCollection. The xmlListCollection
provides easy methods to remove the offending nodes or you may
provide a filterFunction for the collection which will "hide" the
node.

Creating an xml document from filenames of selected files

Hey guys, I am totally new to automator and applescript so please be kind!
I have an xml/flash image portfolio website which has image galleries. Each gallery has an xml document which specifies a thumbnail and full size photo to be displayed in the gallery. If I want to make a new gallery I have to make a new xml document and enter all the filenames of the images I want to display in the gallery. ( I guess you can see where this is going).
This is fine if I have 10 images in the gallery but if I want to make a gallery with 350 images in then it could get pretty tedious.
What I would love to be able to do is select a group of images and then have a script or automator action that can copy the files names and create a new gallery xml document containing the relevant code with all the files names. Ideally then saving the gallery with a sequential filename.
Tying this into the new contextual services menu in snow leopard would really make the task incredibly easy.
Is this possible? I'm not scared of learning how to do this therefore some pointers in the right direction would be great.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Camalot,
I was just thinking of selecting images from the finder but if this could be integrated into Aperture's export dialog that would be even better.

For the last 5 years (and in IPCC3.x/4.x,UCCX/5.x/7.x) I've used the same basic subflow to read a XML document that contains holiday dates where the queue should be closed. I've re-used this script on 20+ client installs and it's always worked. The structure of the script allows you to pass the path and filename of the XML document as parameters to the subflow. (The document is in the repository)
I loaded this script in UCCX 8.0.2 recently and it crashed with a Java.IO error. It looked like it was trying to read the file system directly and not the repository. (In the Linux appliance model this kind of makes sense but why is the step trying to read the file system directly?)
So I open a TAC case (SR# 615243125) and TAC tells me that the method of using the Create File Document step is not supported anymore and that I should specify the filename directly in the Create XML Document step
The problem that I see (aside from having to edit all my scripts that use XML files) is that the Create XML Document step is looking for the input to be a type DOCUMENT and not a type STRING. This seems to imply that I have to hardcode the document in each script that I deploy for a customer. When it was a string it was easy to construct the full file path from parameters and pass to the subflow.

The create XML document input can only be a type DOCUMENT

#1 Am I missing something here?
You are mixing two different issues together here.
The Create File Document step is indeed not needed or supported for creating an XML document. That is why there is a unique step; to trigger XML parsing within the MIVR subsystem.
Accessing the file system is restricted to a single folder within the VOS model (i.e. 8.0+). This folder is not backed up, replicated, or cleaned up automatically. It was intended to give developers some FS access as a temporary swap location only.
#2 Do you assume that you'll be able to load a script that
worked fine in UCCX 7 into UCCX 8 and that it should completely
function when you're doing everything according to the step reference
documentation.
Assume nothing; read the documentation and attend one of the dozens of partner training sessions that CCBU put on advising of the upcoming changes.
#3 Cisco didn’t document this in any way that I can find.
You're right, I guess, on the Create File vs. XML Document step. AFAIK Cisco never wrote a notice into the Step Reference Guide explicitly stating that you cannot use the Create File Document although the documentation seemed pretty clear to me without it. File system restrictions are documented in the 8.0 release notes.
Scripting and Development Series: Volume 2, Editor Step ReferenceUse the Create XML Document step to create a logical document that maps a document to another document variable (where the document has already been pre-parsed as an XML document and is ready to be accessed by the Get XML Document Data step).Use this step before the Get XML Document Data step to obtain data from a document formatted using the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
#4 How can you use the Create XML Document step in a fashion that would
let you construct the path of the file and the filename previously in
the script so you could pass it to a subflow ? It would seem this functionality has been killed in UCCX 8
No it hasn't; just concatinate a string to build the Source Document parameter the step needs. Example: "DOC[" + myFilePath + "]"

Append XML elements with same name in an XML document

Hi,
I am using Oracle9i XMLDB utilities to modify an XML document stored in the database. I have a sample XML document like this in the database:
<Person>
<Address ID="1"> </Address>
</Person>
My task is to include a second <Address> element with a different attribute so that my XML document will become
<Person>
<Address ID="1"> </Address>
<Address ID="2"> </Address>
</Person>
After creating the second element, I am using the function xmldom.appendChild() or xmldom.insertBefore() but they remove the first <Address> element and replace it with the second one. This is not what I want since I want both <Address> elements to be present.
Could anyone please advise.
Thanks.

You need to escape certain characters in order to make XML documents well formed. The problem in this case is the less than sign between companynumber and 1000. You should replace it with <

How to create and instance of Java Object from an XML Document.

Hi,
How can we use a XML Document to create an instance of Java Object and do vice versa ie from the Java Object creating the XML Document.
XML Document is available in the form of a String Object.
Are there helper class available to achieve this.
I need to do this in a Servlet.

Using external XML document to update / change text fields inside of published captivate output.

Hello
I currently have a project where the client has requested to have the ability to update the text fields inside the project at a later date.
This is due to the nature of the content changing rather rapidly, i would like to set this up so the client can manage this them selfs.
What would the best way to do this be?
I'm thinking XML, an external XML sheet were by Captivate imports the text from this XML sheet and then displays it within the specific text fields contained within the captivate output.
This way the client would just update the external XML document(cut and paste the text in) and then the text would be dynamically updated in the published Captivate document.
any help would be amazing !
Thanks in advance
Nick

Hi Lieve
But isn't this thread more about an end user having an ability to change text after the Captivate has been published and delivered? I could see where that might be useful if making changes then publishing to create a new output. But I'm interpreting that the situation here is that a Captivate project has been published and delivered, and some mechanism is desired that allows the recipient to modify an external XML file to influence changes in the already compiled Captivate output.

XML Document Header

I have created an XML document from scratch using the XmlBeans libraries and sent
it to a file. This Xml file has the root node and all of its containing elements.
But what is missing is the XML document header and my namespace definitions.
Since I don't have the namespace definitions in the document header, the name
spaces are redefined with the xmlns:xxx attrbute for each element in the XML file.
This provides a lot of extra text in the document that is not required.
What do I use in order to create the XML document header? Also how can I add
the namespace definitions to the root element instead of them being defined for
each element in the file? Looking at the documentation, it looked like I might
need to sue the XmlDocumentProperties class but I'm not sure if this is it or
if I need to use other classes too?

This worked great. Thanks!
One thing I found through trial and error is that I had to wait until my document
was created, then I created a XmlCursor from my root node. After that I had to
advance my XmlCursor to the first child element (rootCursor.toFirstChildElement())
before actually adding my namespace definitions. Otherwise the namespace definitions
were being added as an additional tag before my root element. But this was documented
in the insertNamespace() member function (inserts into element before cursor).
Thanks again.

If you get an InputStream from am XMlBean, it will include the xml decl.
Obtaining
any character based stream will not. Basically, the xml declaration
is generated
when the XmlBean converts to bytes, but not when converted to chars.
You can control the use of namespaces by inserting namespaces on the
root element.
I'm not sure what the current bits are on the website, but there should/will
be a method on the XmlCursor called insertNamespace which you can use
to insert
a prefix/namespace (xmlns:prefix="namespace") as an attribute. The saver
will
use these attributes when persisting the store.

RegisterSchema or XML document problem

Hi,
I would like to import some XML documents from internet. The root element in document looks like that:
<Report xmlns:p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="spds.ifr.009.PL" p1:schemaLocation="spds.ifr.009.PL http://inetsqlcg:82/ReportServer?%2fReportPublisher%2fspds.ifr.009.PL&rs%3aFormat=XML&rc%3aSchema=True" Name="spds.ifr.009.PL" REPORTNAME1="blablabla">
And root element in schema looks like that:
<xs:schema xmlns="spds.ifr.009.PL" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="spds.ifr.009.PL" xmlns:xdb="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb">
So, I have to register schema with URL from document:
http://inetsqlcg:82/ReportServer?%2fReportPublisher%2fspds.ifr.009.PL&rs%3aFormat=XML&rc%3aSchema=True
but when I'm trying to register with UTL_URL.ESCAPE I have ORA-31000 error.
I can register with UTL_URL.UNESCAPE then the SCHEMA_URL in USER_XML_SCHEMAS is:
http://inetsqlcg:82/ReportServer?/ReportPublisher/spds.ifr.009.PL&rs:Format=XML&rc:Schema=True
but when I'm loading document into XMLTable correlated with schema there is an error: ORA-19007
Any suggestion, please.
And thanks in advance.

This question is best asked in the {forum:id=34} forum. Make sure to look over the FAQ first. When posting, include the dbms_xmlschema.registerschema commands you used and show any errors. Also include your Oracle version (4 digits). Also include enough of the schema to show the root node for the corresponding XML.
