Jsp generated xml

I have a couple of jsp pages that generate xml formated data as well as xsl file. On win2k Ie everything works fine. On Netscape information comes up unformatted. I opened view source and saved it as separated xml file. When I open this xml file, information displayed with correct formatting.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I use Tomcat 4.1 and java 1.4

I solved it by setting response.setContentType( "text\xml" ); on my jsps.
Hope this will help.
PS The problem I still see in IE 5.2 ( MAC OS X ), Camillon browsers. However, I have the luxury of requesting internal clients to upgrade to latest versions.

XSLT, using document() to fetch a local JSP generated XML file

All,
I have 1 XML document that keeps track of various subsite owners of a domain I manage. The xml file doesn't hold much, something along the lines of:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<sitedirectory>
     <page id="/marys_page" name="Mary's Page"">
          <content_contact ntid="smithm" />
          <technical_contact ntid="techguy" />
     </page>
</sitedirectory>Now I also have a JSP page, that when given an NT id as a URL parameter, rifles through LDAP and spits out an xml document with all the relavent ISID fields for that person's id (first name, last name, phone number, e-mail address etc).
I use the document() function in an XSL file to access that dynamic JSP page, fetch the contents of the resulting XML file. Using the document() function with just a regular file call like "getldap.jsp" only feeds my stylesheet the source of that JSP file, not the resulting XML file that I'm looking for when it's been processed.
So... I have my document() function calling the full URL to that JSP file on my domain, an example <value-of /> call in my XSL file would be:
<xsl:value-of select="document('http://my.domain.com/jsp_util/ldap_person.jsp?ntid=smithm')/person/firstname" />and I get what I want, that person's first name, drawn from LDAP into my XSL file. But it seems a little weird to me, having a server-side transformation, accessing a JSP file by making an http call to the same server the transformation resides in.
Am I missing something? Is there a better way to do this or some directive I'm missing? I'd appreciate any help.

That's a creative but perfectly reasonable way to use the document() function.
There are other ways to solve the problem, such as including Java calls in your XSL and applying a customized URIResolver to your transformation, but my approach would be to use the simplest method that works acceptably. So if you don't have performance problems with your solution, I would leave it alone.

JSP, XML, XSLT: applying XSL on JSP-generated XML doc

Hello,
I am currently trying to figure out how to do the following:
let's consider (that's not entirely hypothetical :) ) a web application working with JSP (on apache/tomcat 3.1) and oracle BC4J Application modules.
The JSPs call oracle webbeans to perform updates and retrieve data from an 8.1.6 database.
Now I'm thinking of moving to a combination of JSP, XML and XSL, which (hopefully) would allow to customize the application depending on the user's browser, language etc...(that's the point isn't it?)
It doesn't seem to be a problem to produce XML from a jsp, send it directly to the client browser, which in turn goes to look for the proper XSL file and does all the transformation stuff.
However this only works with I.E 5 for the moment right? and most website need to support various kinds of browsers...
The need is:
* When a non XML-capable browser is detected, apply the proper XSL(s) on the server side before sending the result back, in html/wml/whatever...
* For XML-capable browsers, produce raw XML, maybe apply some XSL(s), and eventually send the result to the browser which handles the rest of the XSL stuff itself.
Therefore, I'd like to:
- Have the jsp produce the raw xml data (maybe adding extra tags, to indicate the browser and/or the language that the jsp engine has detected).
- Pass the output to a first XSLT engine which would take care of the language stuff
- Feed the result into a second XSLT engine to handle browser specificities for instance...
- Send the final output to the client browser.
Now, there are 2 problems:
* 1/ I have seen various engines capable of chaining XSL transforms, and it is easy to produce XML from a jsp, but I don't know how to feed a jsp's output into an XML engine. is that possible? how?
* 2/ I'm a bit concerned about the cost of applying three (or more) process stages, does anyone have insight on the performance issues this could raise?
bonus question ;) : is there a simpler approach?
Thanks a lot in advance, Remi

How to send the dynamically generated XML file to other site for further processing?

I have a question regarding exchanging data between two systems
using XSQL servlet. The situation is descrbed as the follows:
Assume that we have a simple XSQL page named "emp.xsql"
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?-- XSQL page file "emp.xsql" -->
<xsql:query xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" connection="demo" >
SELECT * FROM EMP
</xsql:query>
and we can access it through the HTTP request likes
http://web_server_name/xsql/emp.xsql.
Usually we will the returned dynamic XML file and show it on the
screen. Now the problem is that we don't want to show the
generated XML file on the calling screen. Instead, we want to
send the generated XML file to other website for further
processing, say, using JSP or ASP likes
http://other_web_server_name/XMLProcessing.jsp?.....
How can it be implemented using XSQL servlet?
Any hint and outline of the solution is appreciated.
Thanks

Ike,
Do you have a sample. I am searched so much in this forum for samples. I looked on SAX Parser. I did not find any samples.
Please help me.
Thank you for your posting.

}when i tried to show the stringOut.toString() in my jsp, it's only showed string like this :

1. Why this is happen?i want to generate xml which its format is like above.
2. How can i send this xml (put in msg parameter) using jsp (via web) without creating the mms.xml?
3. if i want to set the msg parameter equal to mms.xml - means that msg = mms.xml, what is the data type for msg? is it an object or anything else?
Thx b4 in advance...

Include new feature where user can get JSP as XML model or normal HTML

Hi Creator Team,
I request you guys to include the below specified feature in future updates.
Currently, creator is supporting to generate JSPS in XML formats. No doubt this is good feature.
But some times we may require JSP in which we may not in need of well formed HTML page.
Because all Designeres and developers are may not aware of XML features and nodoubt they will face the problem in coding or designing.
It is not necessary that a developer/designer need to accustom the features currently supported. He/She may expect more easier access in studio creator.
I understand that we can include JSPs into project taht are not well formed. But at the same time it is almost difficult to him/her to design the page (drag/drop process which is main feature of Studio Creator)
I request and suggest to include both options so that it will become easy for developers/designers to use this good product

Has this feature been incorporated in the latest SJSC 2 release? I too think that this will be more easier to adapt to as a newbie. Moreover, I haven't found anything on this front anywhere else in the forums or in the technical documentations. Other way around could be to provide decent tutorials on using JSP in XML syntax. I am currently using J2EE tutorial (June 2005 release) to learn this technology.
I would be glad if someone could point out a decent resource on this front.
Thanks in advance,
Dev

What doesn't work about it?
Does it throw an exception?
Does it raise a javascript error?
Does it make your coffee too strong?
My first response is
- Scriptlet code belongs in a Servlet, not a JSP
- ALl the scriptlet code is doing is out.println anyway - why do you not just have the XML as template text in your JSP?
At a guess, the extra carriage returns added to the response by JSP will be screwing with your response xml. Carriage returns at the start of it in particular.
Either
- Put it in a servlet
- use JSP properly

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

Very simple...Drop all type objects and nested tables and create them again. You will get no error. I'll explain the reason later.

How to generate XML from relational data : PL/SQL or Java

I'm new to Oracle XML and would appreciate some advice. I've been asked to generate XML documents from data stored in relational tables. The XML documents must be validated against a DTD. We will probably want to store the XML in the database.
I've seen a PL/SQL based approach as follows :
1.Mimic the structure of the DTD using SQL object types 2.Assign the relational data to the object type using PL/SQL as required
3.Use the SYS_XMLGEN package to render the required XML documents from the SQL objects
However, creating the object types seems to be quite time consuming (step 1 above) for anything other than the simplest of XML documents.
I've also seen that there is the Java based approach, namely :
1. Use the XML generator to build Java classes based on a DTD.
2. Use these classes to build the required XML
On the face of it, the Java based approach seems simpler. However, I'm not that familiar with Java.
Which is the best way to proceed ? Is the PL/SQL based approach worth pursuing or should I bite the bullet and brush up my Java ?
Is it possible to use a combination of PL/SQL and Java to populate the dtd generated java classes (step 2 of the Java approach) to reduce my learning curve ?
Thanks in advance

To help answer your questions:
1) Now, in 9iR2, you can use SQL/XML as another choice.
2) You can also use XSU to generate the XML and use XSLT to transform it to a desired format instead of using object views if possible.
3) XDK provide Class generator support to populate XML data to Java classes.

Easiest and/or best methods for generating XML output (not with a report)

Hi, several of our EBS customers (11.5.10) are converting their PDF reports to use XML/BI publisher to produce output. The data stream comes from a report that generates the XML output, and then the XML template is applied. This works great ... no problems, etc. From what I have read, however, Oracle intends to treat the traditional Forms and Reports Developers as legacy tools (although still supporting them, of course).
My question is if I wanted to ditch using Reports to generate XML output, what, in your opinion or in your current usage, is the easiest way of getting this data? In Reports, the data modeler is excellent in providing a method to write your queries, split them into different repeating groups, write formula and summary columns, link multiple queries, etc, etc. If one were to become Reports Developer free, what comparable tools are available to take its place? I would expect this tool to handle a mix of GUI and coding like the Reports data modeler. Please note that I'm not looking for an EBS-specific solution -- say for a custom application using regular Oracle 10g DB and iAS, with BI Publisher for reporting.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ryan

What I'm looking for is to not use Oracle Reports to generate the XML data output since Oracle's statement of direction is pushing BI Publisher rather than Oracle Reports as the preferred tool for reporting. That said, the data modeler in Reports provides a very flexible tool to construct and link multiple queries and to manipulate the queries into several levels of a master/detail relationship. Further, the mix of GUI and coding makes setting up the data model a lot more efficient. What I'm looking for (and I don't know if anything exists) is something comparable that can be used to generate XML output from the DB -- the idea being that I wouldn't use legacy tools, like Reports, for this task. I hope that is clearer.
Really, another way of answering my question is, aside from Reports and the APIs mentioned so far, what are my fellow developers using, if anything, to extract XML data in a way that handles the features i list above?

Jsp generated xml
