Load xml file using gerResource() from a class in jar

Hi,
I have a jar file. I set the classpath for the jar.
I have an xml file in the directory of jar.
ex: /example/test.jar (jar file)
/example/test/test.xml
I would like to load the xml file by using a class in the jar file like:
URL url = Test.class.getResource("/example/test/test.xml");
Test.class is in the jar.
But it is not loading and giving URL as null.
I couldnot figure out how to load any file outside of the jar file from a class file in the jar.
Any solution can be appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
Sridhar

Try
URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemResource ("/example/test/test.xml");

Error while loading xml files using JDBC

Hi,
I am trying to load xml files into an xmltype table using JDBC calls and am getting this error for some files
LPX-00200: could not convert from encoding UTF-8 to UCS2
The xml files and our database are both UTF-8 encoded. The version of oracle that we have here is 9.2.0.6
Any suggestions in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Uma

I also experienced this problem and unfortunately this solution didn't work for me given that the tag you suggested was already on the XML file.

Loading xml file using owb

Hi Gurus,
I am new to owb and as per requirement we need to load xml files into oracle table using owb.

please help me in loading above xml file using owb.

You can leverage the XML SQL functions to extract from XML using the database, see the blog post below;
https://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/entry/leveraging_xdb
For example to extract information from your XML document the following SQL can be generated from OWB;
select extractValue(value(s), '/book/author'),
extractValue(value(s), '/book/year'),
extractValue(value(s), '/book/price') from
( select XMLType('<bookstore>

Problem loading XML-file using SQL*Loader

Hello,
I'm using 9.2 and tryin to load a XML-file using SQL*Loader.
Loader control-file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE BATCH_TABLE TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
FILENAME char(255),
XML_DATA LOBFILE (FILENAME) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
data.xml
The BATCH_TABLE is created as:
CREATE TABLE BATCH_TABLE (
FILENAME VARCHAR2 (50),
XML_DATA SYS.XMLTYPE ) ;
And the data.xml contains the following lines:
<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">
<batch>
<record>
<data>
<type>10</type>
</data>
</record>
<record>
<data>
<type>20</type>
</data>
</record>
</batch>
However, the sqlldr gives me an error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table BATCH_TABLE, column XML_DATA.
ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
If I remove the first two lines
"<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
and
"<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">"
from data.xml everything works, and the contentents of data.xml are loaded into the table.
Any idea what I'm missing here? Likely the problem is with special characters.
Thanks in advance,

I'm able to load your file just by removing the second line <!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">. I dont have your dtd file, so skipped that line. Can you check if it's problem with ur DTD?

Loading XML files using TCP/IP

Hi.
My PL/SQL procedure loading xml files from oracle logical directory ("c:\temp") and inserting values into columns of the table. I use XSU with procedure:
create or replace procedure insProc(xmlDoc IN CLOB, tableName IN VARCHAR2) is
insCtx DBMS_XMLSave.ctxType;
rows number;
begin
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSave.newContext(tableName); -- get the context handle
rows := DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML(insCtx,xmlDoc); -- this inserts the document
DBMS_XMLSave.closeContext(insCtx); -- this closes the handle
end;
For translate xml document to CLOB, I use :
CREATE OR REPLACE function getdocument(
p_directory in varchar2,
p_filename in varchar2)
return clob
is
l_bfile bfile;
l_clob clob;
begin
l_bfile := bfilename(p_directory, p_filename);
dbms_lob.open(l_bfile);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.session);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(l_clob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength(l_bfile));
dbms_lob.close(l_bfile);
return l_clob;
end getdocument;
I didn't have problem with this procedures. But now i want load my xml files from another computer (i want use TCP/IP, not oracle logical directory). Is it within the realm of possibility?
How can i do it, using standart PL/SQL methods?
P.S. Sorry my English.

The UTL_TCP package should give you exactly what you want. See

Load XML file to XMLTable from FTP site Problem Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.7.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to load XML file from FTP address directly to XMLType Table?
Can someone help me?
For example I have ftp site "ftp://test" and on this site I have file "file.xml"
and I would like to load "file.xml" to table "xml_tab" ?
I tried to use "load_xml" procedure and set DIRECTORY "xml_dir" to 'ftp://test' but I get this error
exec load_xml(p_dir=>'XML_DIR', p_filename=>'file.xml');
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 504
ORA-06512: at "P.LOAD_XML", line 8

I have tried also with this
select xdburitype('ftp://test/file.xml').getCLob() from dual;
but i get error
ERROR:
ORA-31001: Invalid resource handle or path name "ftp://test/file.xml"
Can you pleeeeeeas show me a way to do this, thanks ???

This will not work.. Ypu cannot use FTP to 'PULL' a document into the database. (Yes I know there's a placeholder for an FTPURITYPE() but it was never implemented).
However you can use an FTP client to PUSH content into the XML DB repository. If the content is schema based XML associated with a known (registered) XML schema the content of the file will automatically be stored in the default table associated with the root element of the file. If the content is not associated with an known XML schema you can then use xdburitype to read the resource that was created when the document was uploaded into the repository

This is what's in the control file:
LOAD DATA

The load fails with:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table PURCHASEORDER.
ORA-22805: cannot insert NULL object into object tables or nested tables
Another question I have is, how do we know how many records (0's) to specify in the control file? In this case there's only one but when real files are used we won't know how many are in the file.
Thanks for your help!

The concept was "Don't use SQL*Loader to parse XML".
You can use SQL*Loader to load an entire XML document into the DB. That is fine. You can do the same via BFILENAME to read in files from disk as well.
If you want to parse XML, do that from within Oracle via PL/SQL and/or SQL. The solution depends upon your version of Oracle and what is good enough for you in terms of performance.
So the basics are
a) How am I getting the information?
b) How am I getting in into Oracle?
c) How do I want to parse it?
As I see the schema, it only allows for one ipo:purchaseOrder node in the document, since that is the root node. If you have multiple in the incoming file, you no longer have valid XML, both per the schema and because you have no single root node. You have an XML fragment, which must be treated different.
Just trying to understand the question since I now realize it does not agree with what the schema in your initial example shows.

Problem when loading xml file using sql loader

I am trying to load data into table test_xml (xmldata XMLType)
i have an xml file and i want whole file to be loaded into a single column
when i use the following control file and executed from command prompt as follows
sqlldr $1@$TWO_TASK control=$XXTOP/bin/LOAD_XML.ctl direct=true;:

the file is being loaded into table perfectly.
unfortunatley i cant hardcode file name as file name will be changed dynamically.
so i removed the block
BEGIN DATA

please help me how can i load full xml into single column using command line without hardcoding in control file
Edited by: 907010 on Jan 10, 2012 2:24 AM

but strangely it's trying to load each line of xml file into table instead of whole fileNothing strange, the data parameter specifies the file containing the data to load.
If you use the XML filename here, the control file will try to interpret each line of the XML as being separate file paths.
The traditional approach to this is to have the filename stored in another file, say filelist.txt and use, for example :
echo "/u01/APPL/apps/apps_st/appl/xxtop/12.0.0/bin/file.xml" > filelist.txt
sqlldr $1@$TWO_TASK control=$XXTOP/bin/LOAD_XML.ctl data=filelist.txt direct=true;

Loading XML file using sql*loader (10g)

Hi Everyone....
I have a major problem. I have a 10g database and I need to use sql loader to load a large XML file into the database. This file contains records for many, many customers. This will be done several times and the number of records will vary. I want to use sql loader and load to a staging table, BUT SPLIT THE RECORDS OUT and add a sequence. I am having 2 problems.
In the 10g documentation, when you want to split the records you use the BEGINDATA clause and indicate something (like a 0) for each instance of a record. Well my first file has 3,722 records in it. How do I know the number of records in each XML file?
The second problem is that because this is XML, I thought that I could use ENCLOSED BY. But the start tag has an attribute /counter in it, sql*loader doesnt recognize the starting tag. (i.e.: start tag is: </CustomerRec number=1>
end tag is: </CustomerRec> )
So, I used TERMINATED BY '</CustomerRec>'. This will split out the records, but it will NOT include the ending tag of </CustomerRec> and when I use extract, I receive an XML parsing error.
I have tried to get the ending tag using CONTINUEIF and SKIP. But those options are for "records" and not lines.
Does anyone have any ideas for the 2 problems above. I am at my wits end and I need to finish this ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Sorry.... here is an example of what my control file looks like. At the end, I have 92 "0", but remember, I have 3722 records in this first file.

Loading a file (using an already written class)

Hi,
I was just wondering how i can use this class and call it from my GUI class.
I have tried creating a loadfile object in the gui class and calling the load file method.
I think i may have to create a loadfile window which i did but when i put it in the loadfile method it wanted i return type????
I really have no idea.

The LoadFile method is a constructor. It gets called automatically when you create a LoadFile object.
What you need to do isLoadFile lf = new LoadFile(myFrame);
BufferredReader br = lf.getBuffReader();The LoadFile class allows you to select a file and then creates a BufferredReader object which can be used to read from the file. You get the BufferreedReader object by calling the getBuffReader() method.

Can I load xml file from SWC without using @embed

I'm developing a mobile application in which I need to load xml files from File.applicationDirectory. This works great if the xml files are part of the main application swf. But I would like to move these xml files into a SWC so they could be shared across multiple applications.
Using FlashBuilder 4.5, when a SWC is built, I can specify files to embed in the library that are not assets (Assets Tab of Flex Library Build Path). For various design reasons, I do NOT want to embed the xml files via @embed.
When the swc is built and I open it up using a zip utility, I see the xml files in there just fine. So they are being bundled with the SWC. But how can I load these files in my main application that does not involve using @embed? When the main application is built, the swc setting for link type is "merged into code".
I wouldn't expect the application to automatically pull out the xml files from the swc and place them in the File.applicationDirectory on the mobile device. I've tried loading from there just in case but file.exists is false (as expected).
I've searched the web (and continue to do so) and all the answers seem to be to use @embed. Is there another way?

It's actually a lot easier than you think.
Just reference the file like any'ol URL using a path relative to the SWC's src directory.
So if you include the file "assets/xml/some.xml", just use that same string like you would any remote resource.
For example:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("assets/xml/some.xml"));
I believe it would also work like this "/assets/xml/some.xml", but I prefer relative paths so the link doesnt break if moved out of the SWC...

Load XML file from different location?

Hi All,
I've been going through an exercise by Karl Matthews to load XML data into an AIR App:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/xml_viewer_on_air.html
but I would like to change where the XML file used in the project is retrieved from.
Currently the XML file is loaded from here:

<mx:HTTPService id="srcData" url="
assets/UserGuide.xml" result="loadModelData(event)"
/>
but I would like to load the XML file from one of these locations instead:
File.userDirectory:
File.documentsDirectory:
Can someone please show me how I should change the above code to accomplish this, as my efforts to date have not been successful :-(
I am using Flex Builder 3 and Air 1.5.
Thanks heaps!
Tim

Hi Bhasker,
Thank you for replying.
I am not very good at all this coding, but I am assuming I should now be doing entering the following:
=======================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical"width="
800" height="660"xmlns:comp="
*" xmlns:fmtComp="fmtComps.*"creationComplete="srcData.send()"
paddingLeft="
0" paddingRight="0" paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.utils.ObjectProxy;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
Bindable]
private var userManualObj:ObjectProxy;
private function loadModelData(event:ResultEvent):void
userManualObj=event.result.UserManual;
private function readXMLContent(xmlFile:File,objContentView:Object):Array{
var reportDir:File = File.userDirectory.resolvePath("assets");
var xmlFile:File;
var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); xmlFile = reportDir.resolvePath(
"UserGuide.xml");
if(xmlFile.exists && xmlFile.size > 0)// Checking if the impressions.xml file already exists and the file is not empty
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
var xml:XML = new XML();stream.open(xmlFile, FileMode.READ);
xml = XML(stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable));
stream.close();
]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:VBox width="100%" horizontalAlign="left" height="100%" paddingBottom="
0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingTop="0">
<mx:TabNavigator width="100%" height="100%"paddingBottom="
0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingTop="0">
<mx:Repeater id="modelsRep" dataProvider="{userManualObj.Product.Model}">
<mx:VBox label="{modelsRep.currentItem.Name}" width="100%" height="100%">
<comp:ModelDesc model="{modelsRep.currentItem}"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Repeater>
<mx:VBox label="Troubleshooting" width="100%" height="100%"paddingBottom="
0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0" paddingTop="0">
<comp:Troubleshooting issues="{userManualObj.Product.Troubleshooting.Issue}" />
</mx:VBox>
</mx:TabNavigator>
</mx:VBox></mx:WindowedApplication>
=======================
and create and "assets" folder in my user directory placing the XML file in there?
However when I do all that, I get this error when I try to compile:
Encountered errors or warnings while building project main.mxml.
main.mxml: Function does not return a value.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Tim

Load XML file from addon domain without cross-domain Policy file

Hello.
Assuming that there are two addon domains on the same server: /public_html/domain1.com      and      /public_html/domain2.com
I try to load XML file from domain2.com into domain1.com without using cross-domain policy file (since it doesn’t work on xml files in my case).
So the idea is to use php file in order to load XML and read it back to flash.
I’ve found an interesting scripts that seems to do the job but unfortunately I can't get it to work. In my opinion there is somewhere problem with AS3 part. Please take a look.
Here are the AS3/PHP scripts:
AS3 (.swf in www.domain1.com):
// location of the xml that you would like to load, full http address
var xmlLoc:String = "http://www.domain2.com/MyFile.xml";
// location of the php xml grabber file, in relation to the .swf
var phpLoc:String = "loadXML.php";
var xml:XML;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(phpLoc+"?location="+escape(xmlLoc) );
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoaded);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOErrorHandler);
loader.load(request);
function onIOErrorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
    trace("There was an error with the xml file "+e);
function onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void {
    trace("the rss feed has been loaded");
    xml = new XML(loader.data);
    // set to string, since it is passed back from php as an object
    xml = XML(xml.toString());
    xml_txt.text = xml;
PHP (loadXML.php in www.domain1.com):
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$location = "";
if(isset($_GET["location"])) {
    $location = $_GET["location"];
    $location = urldecode($location);
$xml_string = getData($location);
// pass the url encoded vars back to Flash
echo $xml_string;
//cURLs a URL and returns it
function getData($query) {
    // create curl resource
    $ch = curl_init();
    // cURL url
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query);
    //Set some necessary params for using CURL
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   //Execute the curl function, and decode the returned JSON data
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    return $result;
    // close curl resource to free up system resources
    curl_close($ch);
?>

I think you might be right about permissions/settings on the server for php. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to adjust them.
So I wrote my own script - this time I used file path instead of http address of the XML file. It works fine in my case.
Here it is:
XML file on domain2.com:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/1.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/1.jpg" file_name= "1"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/2.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/2.jpg" file_name= "2"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/3.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/3.jpg" file_name= "3"> </image>
</gallery>
swf on domain1.com:
var imagesXML:XML;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MyPHPfile.php");
varURL.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varURL.data = variables;
var MyLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
MyLoader.dataFormat =URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
MyLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, XMLDone);
MyLoader.load(varURL);
function XMLDone(event:Event):void {
    var imported_XML:Object = event.target.data.imported_XML;
    imagesXML = new XML(imported_XML);
   MyTextfield_1.text = imagesXML;
   MyTextfield_2.text = imagesXML.image[0].attribute("thumbPath"); // sample reference to attribute "thumbPath" of the first element
php file on domain1.com:
<?php
$xml_file = simplexml_load_file('../../domain2.com/galleries/gallery_1/MyXMLfile.xml'); // directory to XML file on the same server
$imported_XML = $xml_file->asXML();
print "imported_XML=" . $imported_XML;
?>
Regards
PS: for those who read the above discussion: the first and the second script work but you must test which one is better in your situation. The first script will also work between two domains on different servers. No cross domain policy file needed.

Loading XML files from URL

Hi.
My PL/SQL procedure loading xml files from oracle logical directory ("c:\temp") and inserting values into columns of the table. I use XSU with procedure:
create or replace procedure insProc(xmlDoc IN CLOB, tableName IN VARCHAR2) is
insCtx DBMS_XMLSave.ctxType;
rows number;
begin
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSave.newContext(tableName); -- get the context handle
rows := DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML(insCtx,xmlDoc); -- this inserts the document
DBMS_XMLSave.closeContext(insCtx); -- this closes the handle
end;
For translate xml document to CLOB, I use :
CREATE OR REPLACE function getdocument(
p_directory in varchar2,
p_filename in varchar2)
return clob
is
l_bfile bfile;
l_clob clob;
begin
l_bfile := bfilename(p_directory, p_filename);
dbms_lob.open(l_bfile);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.session);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(l_clob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength(l_bfile));
dbms_lob.close(l_bfile);
return l_clob;
end getdocument;
I didn't have problem with this procedures. But now i want load my xml files from another computer (i want use URL, not oracle logical directory).
How can i do it, using standart PL/SQL methods?

Since you are parsing the XML what prevents you from delaying your requests for the image URL's? You can just as well add the image URL's to some kind of collection and load them after you have processed all the text content.
