Link XML Data to retrieve information

Hi,
1. I have a java application that requires to retrieve .xml file remotely (which I had achieve)
2. However in the xml file consist of a wsdl link to a services (currency conversion) that I need to parse back
into my java swing application (not just address of the wsdl file but the services itself).
3. How can I do that ?
Regards & God Bless, Edison

extract() would do what you want. But your whole approach of only have 1 document makes no sense when working with an XML database. See my reply to the other post for more reasons.

  • Urgent: how to query/index xml files to retrieve information belonging to a section?

    os: linux
    db: oracle 9iR2
    Hi,
    how can I extract -> only <- the matching entry information from within a xml file, that belongs to the result of a query?
    For example, given the following xml:
    <QualifierRecordSet>
    <QualifierRecord QualifierType = "1">
    <QualifierUI>Q000002</QualifierUI>
    <QualifierName>
    <String>test1</String>
    </QualifierName>
    <DateCreated>
    <Year>1973</Year>
    <Month>12</Month>
    <Day>27</Day>
    </DateCreated>
    </QualifierRecord>
    <QualifierRecord QualifierType = "1">
    <QualifierUI>Q000003</QualifierUI>
    <QualifierName>
    <String>test2</String>
    </QualifierName>
    <DateCreated>
    <Year>1975</Year>
    <Month>10</Month>
    <Day10</Day>
    </DateCreated>
    </QualifierRecord>
    <QualifierRecordSet>
    I would like to query for '/QualifierRecordSet/QualifierRecord/QualifierName[String = "test2"]' and retrieve ONLY the second 'QualifierRecord' - entry, i.e.:
    <QualifierRecord QualifierType = "1">
    <QualifierUI>Q000003</QualifierUI>
    <QualifierName>
    <String>test2</String>
    </QualifierName>
    <DateCreated>
    <Year>1975</Year>
    <Month>10</Month>
    <Day10</Day>
    </DateCreated>
    </QualifierRecord>
    ...but not the' id' or 'name' of the xml-document(I have only one document).
    Thanks for your help in advance.

  • XML Data source - Referring from one section of data to Another section

    In my application, XML raw data is used as an input to the Crystal Report 2008. From this XML data, different type of report outputs are generated. So XML data has formatting information too. This formatting information need to be used in generating report.
    For Example, consider the below XML.
    <COFC>
         <REPORT_FORMAT>
              <REPORTS>
                   <REPORT>
                        <REPORT_ID>1</REPORT_ID>
                        <MEASUREMENT>
                             <MEAS_CODE>BOW_EPI</MEAS_CODE>
                             <DISPLAY_NAME>BOW</DISPLAY_NAME>
                        </MEASUREMENT>
                        <MEASUREMENT>
                             <MEAS_CODE>TTV_EPI</MEAS_CODE>
                             <DISPLAY_NAME>TTV</DISPLAY_NAME>
                        </MEASUREMENT>
                   </REPORT>
                   <REPORT>
                        <REPORT_ID>2</REPORT_ID>
                        <MEASUREMENT>
                             <MEAS_CODE>BOW_EPI</MEAS_CODE>
                             <DISPLAY_NAME>BOW-EPI</DISPLAY_NAME>
                        </MEASUREMENT>
                        <MEASUREMENT>
                             <MEAS_CODE>TTV_EPI</MEAS_CODE>
                             <DISPLAY_NAME>TTV_EPI</DISPLAY_NAME>
                        </MEASUREMENT>
                   </REPORT>
              </REPORTS>
         </REPORT_FORMAT>
         <REPORT_DATA>
              <MEAS_CODES>
                   <MEAS_CODE>BOW_EPI</MEAS_CODE>
                   <MEAS_CODE>TTV_EPI</MEAS_CODE>
              </MEAS_CODES>
         <REPORT_DATA>
    </COFC>
    In the above example, REPORT_FORMAT record has formatting information. REPORT_DATA record has actual report data.
    If report cooresponding to report_id 1 uses the above XML, then the output should be
    BOW
    TTV
    If report corresponding to report_id 2 uses the above XML, then the output should be
    BOW_EPI
    TTV_EPI
    In order to reduce the redundancy of the data, we decided to pass the formatting information with the data and use it in the report accordingly.
    But I couldn't achieve the result. I am thinking about having a function which takes MEAS_CODE as an input and returns the correct DISPLAY_NAME. To perform this iteration of REPORT_FORMAT record is necessary. I don't know how to do it. Please give me some guidlines to achieve this.
    If there is better way to do it, Please let me know. I have no other options, I need to use the report formatting information in my report.

    Please re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

  • Adobe Form with XML interface cannot retrieve all data from SAP

    hi all
    I want to use the Adobe forms for the real estate module.
    I had seen that adobe forms can have an interface with XML input and output as parameter.
    In the interface type only the /DOCPARAMS an the DOCXML are INPUT parameters which are available.
    No other INPUT parameter can be added to it.
    When i try to retrieve the data in real estate there are some default function modules for retrieving the data from real estate.
    But this function modules also are going to find out if the form which asks for this information has a IMPORT parameter
    for the required data. For example, the SENDER data is retrieved, but before the default function module retrieve this data
    the function module checks if the form has a INPUT parameter SENDER.
    And that is not the case. And i cannot create the SENDER parameter to it, because this INTERFACE type does not allow it.
    Does anybody know a solution herefore?
    kind regards,
    Anton Pierhagen

    Hi Bhaskar
    It is a long time ago, almost 2 years.
    I created my own custom development for calling the Adobe form. This custom development uses the correct function module interface with the IMPORT XML.
    The XML which i sent as IMPORT PARAMETER to the form is also created by own custom development. Via the default XML class of SAP
    So that was my solution
    Kind regards,

  • Write / store xml data in Xe and retrieve stored data using pl/sql

    Hi to all,
    i'm searching a tutorial on:
    A - how to write / store xml data in Xe and retrieve stored data using pl/sql
    I don't want to use other technologies, because i use htmldb and my best practice is with pl/sql.
    I was reading an ebook (quite old maybe) however it's about oracle 9 and it's talking about xmltype:
    1 - I don't understand if this is a user type (clob/varchar) or it's integrated in Oracle 9 however i will read it (it's chapter 3 titled Using Oracle xmldb).
    Please dont'reply here: i would be glad if someone can suggest me a good tutorial / pdf to achieve task A in Oracle XE.
    Thanx

    Thank you very much Carl,
    However my fault is that i've not tried to create the table via sql plus.
    Infact i was wrong thinking that oracle sql developer allows me to create an xmltype column via the create table tool.
    however with a ddl script like the following the table was created successfully.
    create table example1
    keyvalue varchar2(10) primary key,
    xmlcolumn xmltype
    Thank you very much for your link.

  • Selecting the XML data from a drop-down menu or links

    Hi, I have this page:
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/volckinv.html
    There are prints of lemons/limes and prints of oranges. I
    want to have the visitor select which kind of fruit from either a
    drop-menu or from two links that look something like this:
    Lemons/Limes | Oranges. Looking at other help docs I found the
    region/state mapping demo at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/StateMappingSample.html,
    and copied the code and tried to modify it. But I don't really
    understand the technical shorthand of the help docs (an ongoing
    problem I have with the Spry documentation) and I couldn't find the
    XML docs that the region/state mapping demos are based on so I
    couldn't see how they were set up.
    I got as far as this: nothing loads initially when you open
    the page (I'd like the lemons to load), but if you select Oranges
    from the drop-down menu you see the oranges, and THEN once you've
    done that, you can select Lemons/Limes in the drop-down menu and
    see those. I have three XML files I've been playing around with to
    get this to work: lemons.xml, oranges.xml and inventory.xml, which
    combines the two.
    I also suspect region/state mapping might not even be exactly
    what I'm trying to do here, but I can't figure out from the
    documentation exactly what this thing I'm trying to do is called. I
    know the photo album demo accomplishes something similar, and I
    could do that, but it seems way more complicated than what I need
    here (right?). Help will be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Helen

    I made a different test using the file
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/inventory.xml
    and
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/volcktest.html
    where I sent up the inventory xml form like one I found in the
    Nested XML Data documentation where you have item ids and types, so
    all the oranges and lemons are in one XML document (which I'd
    prefer).
    Here's an abbreviated version of the inventory.xml:
    <inv_items>
    <inv_item id="1" type="lemon">
    <name>Lemons and Limes</name>
    <title>Cedro Ordinario</title>
    <plate>116a</plate>
    <fullimage>pl116a.jpg</fullimage>
    <tn>pl116a-2.jpg</tn>
    </inv_item>
    [and more lemons follow]
    <inv_item id="19" type="orange">
    <name>Oranges and Others</name>
    <title>La Zucchetta Imperiale</title>
    <plate>138a</plate>
    <fullimage>pl138a.jpg</fullimage>
    <tn>pl138a-2.jpg</tn>
    </inv_item>
    [and more oranges follow]
    </inv_items>
    What I'd like to do is display the names "Lemons and Limes"
    and "Oranges and Others" and when you click on "Lemons and Limes"
    you see only the thumbnails for lemons and limes, and when you
    click on "Oranges and Others" you see the thumbnails for only
    those. I'd like the Lemons and Limes to be selected when the page
    is opened.
    Help greatly appreciated!

  • Retrieving raw XML data

    Hello,
    I'm working with the Oracle Content Server 10gR3 and Site Studio. I'm using region definitions and contributor data files to hold the content. For some cases I would like to include the raw content from these data files into the rendered web page. This would be similar to the site studio contributor, that lets you edit the content of the xml data files.
    The problem is, when I use ssIncludeXml all the idoc script commands are evaluated. But I would like to get the original data with the idoc commands. Is there any service I could call to get the raw data? Site studio contributor uses the "SS_GET_CONTRIBUTOR_CONFIG" service, but as this returns json like data I can't use that in Site Studio ether.
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    Hi Tim,
    thanks for your answer. Using AJAX would be the way the contributor window does it by calling the SS_GET_CONTRIBUTOR_CONFIG service. It's correct, that I should be able to use the JSON data then to extract the information I want.
    But that is too late. I want to process that data with idoc when the content server renders the page. Like including placeholder data or a fragment snippet just without evaluating it.
    Cheers,
    Andreas

  • How to execute the Code-Behind of .aspx linked using XML Data Connection

    I have a dashboard with a live XML Data Connection tied to a Default.aspx file.  That .aspx file has a Default.aspx.vb code-behind file tied to it with some logic in the Page_Load sub routine.  If i open the .aspx on my own in the browser, the code-behind executes properly.
    However, when I tie the .aspx to my dashboard and launch it I know for a fact the .aspx is being called (i have a placeholder on the dashboard to let me know if it executed or not) but its code-behind file is not.  I can't seem to find a solution through Google, would anyone be able to lead me in the right direction with this?  My code is as follows:
    Default.aspx
    <%@ Page Language="vb" aspcompat="true" Debug="true" validaterequest="false" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="scheduleAppointment._Default" %>
    <%    
        'tester to see that script executes, this puts "ScriptExecuted" on a label on my dashboard
        Dim sXML As String   
        sXML = "<data><variable name=" + Chr(34) + "Range_0" + Chr(34)
                      + "><row><column>ScriptExecuted</column></row></variable></data>"
        Response.Write(sXML)

    Partial Public Class _Default
        Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
        Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
                (I have code here creating a Microsoft Outlook appointment and saving/scheduling it. This is not being
                 executed when running the dashboard itself, but I know the code works if I run the .aspx on my own
                 in Internet Explorer browser)
        End Sub
    End Class

    Easy fix, apparently code-behind doesn't execute in Preview mode.  Exported to .swf and ran in the Internet Explorer browser and it worked.

  • Populating a Crystal Report from XML data

    Hi,
    I want to populate a Crystal Report using a XML data structure. Below I have explained what Iu2019m trying to do in detail,
    u2022 First I will create a Crystal Report using Crystal Report XI R2 designer  by connecting to a Oracle database using a native Oracle connection (not ODBC or JDBC)
    u2022 Then I want to write a Java application using CR XI R2 JRC SDK to open this report
    u2022 Then to run and populate this report using a XML data structure (which I have separately in a disk location. XSD too is available in disk)
    u2022 Then to export this report with data to either PDF or RPT file with saved data in to disk.
    The questions I have are,
    1. Is this possible to do in away?
    2. If so, can you please provide me with a sample code for doing this? I tried some of the other threads in the forum but some had broken links.
    3. Do the xml and the xsd needs to be in a special format?
    4. Is there any other configuration setting I should do?
    Hope you can help me. Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Chanaka

    Hi Chinmay,
    Thank you for the prompt answer. I have gone through this before. It explains on how to create a report using a xml database from CR designer. What I want to do is to set the data source programmatically to a xml date source from the code. I didnu2019t find anything like that. Is it the same way as setting the database connection information?
    Also another question I have is how does a report with two tables work? Say I have a master u2013 detail report (order and order lines). The master part is taken from one table (order_tab) and the detail part is taken from another (order_detail_tab). Do I need to have 2 xmls or is one structured xml sufficient? How will the same work if I have the detail section in a sub-report? Will it work with one or do I need to have two?

  • Getting XML data of SSIS Package (which is located in File System) from a query

    Hi,
    We have around 200 SSIS packages deployed to File System. These pacakges are being scheduled using SQL Agent job.
    So, currently I have a list of all the packages and their respective File Path.
    Note : **They are NOT deployed to Server**.
    Now, my task is to search all the packages which has a specific connection in it.
    From the below blog, I got to know we can achieve this by querying the XML data of the SSIS Package.
    https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/ssis/-exploring-ssis-architecture-and-execution-history-through-scripting/.
    But in the above article they are getting the XML definition of the Package from msdb(as it was deployed to server).
    In my requirement, SSIS Packages are in File System. Is there any way to to get the XML definition of these packages using a query.
    Please let me know if the above requirement is not clear or if any further information is required.
    Thanks
    Raksha

    Hi Visakh & Praveen,
    Thanks for the response. 
    @Visakh: The query provided by you gives the information about all the connection strings in the package.
    @Praveen: The query in the link provided by you lists the values of all the properties of the package like MaxerrorCount, CreatorName, CreatorDate and other properties.
    I think, we may have to slightly modify this query to get the connection string values
    Praveen, nice to hear from you after a long time and that too in this forum !! :) Hope you are doing good.
    Thanks

  • [CS5.5/6] - XML / Data Merge questions & Best practice.

    Fellow Countrymen (and women),
    I work as a graphic designer for a large outlet chain retailer which is constantly growing our base of centers.  This growth has brought a workload that used to be manageable with but two people to a never ending sprint with five.  Much of what we do is print, which is not my forte, but is also generally a disorganized, ad-hoc affair into which I am wading to try to help reduce overall strain.
    Upon picking up InDesign I noted the power of the simple Data Merge function and have added it to our repetoire in mass merging data sources.  There are some critical failures I see in this as a tool going forward for our purposes, however:
    1) Data Merge cannot handle information stored and categorized in a singular column well.  As an example we have centers in many cities, and each center has its own list of specific stores.  Data merge cannot handle a single column, or even multiple column list of these stores very easily and has forced us into some manual operations to concatenate the data into one cell and then, using delimiter characters, find and replace hard returns to seperate them.
    2) Data Merge offers no method of alternate alignment of data, or selection by ranges.  That is to say:  I cannot tell Data merge to start at Cell1 in one column, and in another column select say... Cell 42 as the starting point.
    3) Data merge only accepts data organized in a very specific, and generally inflexible pattern.
    These are just a few limitations.
    ON TO MY ACTUAL DILEMMA aka Convert to XML or not?
    Recently my coworker has suggested we move toward using XML as a repository / delivery system that helps us quickly get data from our SQL database into a usable form in InDesign. 
    I've watched some tutorials on Lynda.com and havent yet seen a clear answer to a very simple question:
    "Can XML help to 'merge' large, dynamic, data sets like a list of 200 stores per center over 40 centers based off of a single template file?"
    What I've seen is that I would need to manually duplicate pages, linking the correct XML entry as I go rather than the program generating a set of merged pages like that from Data Merge with very little effort on my part.  Perhaps setting up a master page would allow for easy drag and drop fields for my XML data?
    I'm not an idiot, I'm simply green with this -- and it's kind of scary because I genuinely want us to proceed forward with the most flexible, reliable, trainable and sustainable solution.  A tall order, I know.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but XML is that beast, no?
    Formatting the XML
    Currently I'm afraid our XML feed for our centers isnt formatted correctly with the current format looking as such:
    <BRANDS>
         <BRAND>
              • BrandID = xxxx
              [Brand Name]
              [Description]
              [WebMoniker]
              <CATEGORIES>
                   <CATEGORY>
                        • xmlns = URL
                        • WebMoniker = category_type
              <STORES>
                   <STORE>
                        • StoreID = ID#
                        • CenterID = ID#
    I dont think this is currently usable because if I wanted to create a list of stores from a particular center, that information is stored as an attribute of the <Store> tag, buried deep within the data, making it impossible to 'drag-n-drop'. 
    Not to mention much of the important data is held in attributes rather than text fields which are children of the tag.
    Im thinking of proposing the following organizational layout:
    <CENTERS>
         <CENTER>
         [Center_name]
         [Center_location]
              <CATEGORIES>
                   <CATEGORY>
                        [Category_Type]
                        <BRANDS>
                             <BRAND>
                                  [Brand_name]
    My thought is that if I have the <CENTER> tag then I can simply drag that into a frame and it will auto populate all of the brands by Category (as organized in the XML) for that center into the frame.
    Why is this important?
    This is used on multiple documents in different layout styles, and since our store list is ever changes as leases end or begin, over 40 centers this becomes a big hairy monster.  We want this to be as automated as possible, but I'd settle for a significant amount of dragging and dropping as long as it is simple and straightforward.  I have a high tollerance for druding through code and creating work arounds but my co-workers do not.  This needs to be a system that is repeatable and understandable and needs to be able to function whether I'm here or not -- Mainly because I would like to step away from the responsibility of setting it up every time
    I'd love to hear your raw, unadulterated thoughts on the subject of Data merge and XML usage to accomplish these sorts of tasks.  What are your best practices and how would you / do you accomplish these operations?
    Regards-

    From what I've gleaned through watching Lynda tutorials on the subject is that what I'm hoping to do is indeed possible.
    Peter, I dont disagree with you that there is a steep learning curve for me as the instigator / designer of this method for our team, but in terms of my teammates and end-users that will be softened considerably.  Even so I'm used to steep learning curves and the associated frustrations -- but I cope well with new learning and am self taught in many tools and programs.
    Flow based XML structures:
    It seems as though as long as the initial page is set up correctly using imported XML, individual data records that cascade in a logical fashion can be flowed automatically into new pages.  Basically what you do is to create an XML based layout with the dynamic portion you wish to flow in a single frame, apply paragraph styles to the different tags appropriately and then after deleting unused records, reimport the XML with some specific boxes checked (depending on how you wish to proceed).
    From there simply dragging the data root into the frame will cause overset text as it imports all the XML information into the frame.  Assuming that everything is cascaded correctly using auto-flow will cause new pages to be automatically generated with the tags correctly placed in a similar fashion to datamerge -- but far more powerful and flexible. 
    The issue then again comes down to data organization in the XML file.  In order to use this method the data must be organized in the same order in which it will be displayed.  For example if I had a Lastname field, and a Firstname field in that order, I could not call the Firstname first without faulting the document using the flow method.  I could, however, still drag and drop content from each tag into the frame and it would populate correctly regardless of the order of appearance in the XML.
    Honestly either method would be fantastic for our current set of projects, however the flow method may be particularly useful in jobs that would require more than 40 spreads or simple layouts with huge amounts of data to be merged.
