Loading an xml file from jws : a nightmare !

Hi all:
I'm trying to load a xml file packed inside a jar file, and when i call getresource it keeps always returning null !!!
When i run the application (not in JWS) the file is loaded, but when i run it from a jnlp file with jws no !!
I tried all possible solutions wihout success :(
the last portion of code i used is :
ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
URL xmlFile=cl.getResource("configure.xml"); why is it working when run from Eclipse but fails when using jws ?
I packed all my .class files together with xml file in one jar.
please help me ! this stuff is driving me crazy :(
thanks.

Hi phasse !
Yes I've fortenatly managed to solve my problem .here is the desription:
Actually my problem was not with loading the xml file but in reading it .
my problem was in the statement builder.parse(xmlFile.getPath()); this will not work with jws .I replaced this with : Document document = null;
          try {
                ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory
                         .newInstance();
               DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                  document=builder.parse(cl.getResourceAsStream("resources/configure.xml"));I would suggest to use ClassLoader and getResourceAsStream("xmlfile") method .
I hope this would be helpfull for you .Good luck !

Loading an xml file from an xml file

I'm trying to load an xml file from an xml file, but I'm
having problems. My first xml file is really simple - it only
contains one attribute with the name of another xml file in it
(eventually I will have multiple xml files in here and run a loop
on them...this is why I want to load an xml file from an xml file).
Currently, with the code below, I can get the main xml file
to load ("main.xml"), but I cannot get the secondary xml files to
load FROM the main.xml.
I want to then take childNode values from the secondary xml
file and use them within my .swf in text boxes and whatnot.
Any guidance? I think I'm going wrong on the line where I'm
saying "i.newxml.load(i.attributes.location);"
- How can I get this to work?

johnypeter:
I tried changing the code inside the loop to use just
"newxml" instead of "i.newxml", and I declared with "var newxml =
new XML();" - was this what you were thinking?
kglad:
The reason I tried to use the loadXML() function in the loop
was so that for each node in my "main.xml" it would load the new
xml file listed - this is a no-no? Do you have any ideas as to what
I could do?
For the for-loop, what should I change in it? I'm not great
with loops so I tried to modify some code from another loop I found
in another forum thread - not the right way to do it here?
Also, what should I trace? The value of the _root.address, or
i.attributes.location? I have created dynamic text boxes on my
stage to see if the correct value from the xml file loads (ie. the
name of the xml file within the xml file) and it does, but now I
don't know how to put that information into ANOTHER loadXML()
function and get the node information from it - does that make
sense???
Below are the examples of the xml files I am using. In the
first one, main.xml, I will have a list of multiple xml files, each
with the same nodes and elements as in the details.xml file
(different values, of course).
This is just to give you an example of what I'm trying to
accomplish - pulling ALL the addresses and phone numbers from
multiple xml files. I cannot manually collect this information, as
it is dynamic, and will be updated in each individual details.xml.
I was hoping to collect the information by simply adding to and
updating ONE xml file - main.xml.
Do you think this can be done? Am I going about it the wrong
way? I'm quite limited in AS knowledge, which is why I'm piecing
together code from other posts!

How to load a xml file from a package inside of a jar file

hi@all
my application has got a xml configuration file which is saved inside the package tree of the class that reads this file.
when i`m developing using eclipse the class can find that file, everything works fine. but when i create a jar file of my application to use it in another application it cannot find that file anymore.
can anyone tell me how to solve this problem, please?
thx a lot

hi all,
the xml file is in the jar file and
ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream(..) solved my problem.
in fact i did nameOfClassInSamePackageAsXmlFile.class.getResourceAsStream("nameOfFile.xml");thank you all

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!

Sending variable value from php to flash to load an xml file

I would like to load an XML file from the location locally or on the server being unaware of the name of the file. I am using PHP for sending the filename to Flash.
The below is the PHP code:
<?php
filesInDir('C:\Documents and Settings\457305\My Documents\shrikant\Flash Tutorials\webassist');
function filesInDir($tdir)
        $dirs = scandir($tdir);
        foreach($dirs as $file)
                if (($file == '.')||($file == '..'))
                elseif (is_dir($tdir.'/'.$file))
                        filesInDir($tdir.'/'.$file);
                else
                        echo "fileName=$file";
?>
And below is the loading Actionscript code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
stop();
// Define the PHP file to be loaded
var phpFile:String = "http://localhost/webassist/test.php";
var cons_xml:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
// Specify dataFormat property of the URLLoader to be "VARIABLES"
// This ensures variables loaded into Flash with same variable names
xmlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(phpFile));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(evt:Event):void
          trace(evt.target.data.fileName);
          //cons_xml = new XML(evt.target.data.fileName);
          //gotoAndPlay(2);
When I trace the evt.target.data it displays "fileName=mainOpenEndedXML%2Exml" and when I trace evt.target.data.fileName the fileName is properly displayed as "mainOpenEndedXML.xml".
But in the next two lines where the loading occurs it does not load the file i.e the swf file from xml doesn't play.
I have been searching the Internet for answers but not able to find any solutions.
The loading works properly if i directly insert the xml file in the code and the swf's in the XML file play propertly. The below is the code for the same:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
stop();
var cons_xml:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("mainOpenEndedXML.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(evt:Event):void
          cons_xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
          gotoAndPlay(2);
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Yes. you already said that, but I guess you don't understand what I said. You are loading the PHP fle to get the filename, but nowhere are you taking that filename and loading the file that was named.
You need to do two loading operations. The first one to get the filename, and the second to load the file with that name. Maybe if you name the PHP file loader phpLoader instead of xmlLoader it will start to make more sense to you. Something like the following...
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
stop();
// Define the PHP file to be loaded
var phpFile:String = "http://localhost/webassist/test.php";
var phpLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
// Specify dataFormat property of the URLLoader to be "VARIABLES"
// This ensures variables loaded into Flash with same variable names
phpLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
phpLoader.load(new URLRequest(phpFile));
phpLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processPHP);
function processPHP(evt:Event):void
         var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
         xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(String(evt.target.data.fileName)));
         xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
var cons_xml:XML;
function processXML(evt:Event):void
          cons_xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
          gotoAndPlay(2);

Loading XML file from classpath...

Hello all.
Can anyone help me with loading an XML file from the classpath?
The XML I need to load looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<QueueDispatcher>
<QueueConfigEntry>
    <DataSource>
      <TableName><![CDATA[WPOrder]]></TableName>
    </DataSource>
    <DataSink>
      <JMSQueueName><![CDATA[OTL_WPORDER]]></JMSQueueName>
    </DataSink>
</QueueConfigEntry>
</QueueDispatcher>I'm trying to load the file with the following code:
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
InputStream input = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/QueueDispatcherConfig.xml");
StreamSource streamSource = new StreamSource(input);
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(streamSource);
....All I get at the moment is an exception:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: stylesheet requires attribute: version
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

What are you doing wrong? You're using a Transformer, which expects to be given an XSLT document. If you want to make a DOM from that then you should use a DocumentBuilder, or you could use a SAXParser if you just want to extract the data from the XML file as you read it.

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.

AIR application request a xml file from a server (but only legal users)

Hello guys
I am conceptualizing a project at the moment and I am thinking of using Adobe AIR to develop the application related to that project.
But it depends on the ability of AIR to fulfill my project requirements.
I want your ideas, please...
Imagine, I finished developing my application and compiled the distributed version using Adobe AIR.
And I am going to distribute the installation files of the intended application by burning on to a CD.
Imagine, the user who got that CD, installed it it on his computer and launched the application.
When the application is running, it needs to load a XML file which is saved in our company server.
Since it is an important data file I don't want to dispatch it with the installation CD.
So I am thinking of using URLRequest and URLLoader classes to load this XML file from server dynamically.
Lets imagine I did codes like this....
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mycompany.com/sereverfolder/blabla.xml");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
But my question is, how safe hardcoding the path for the xml file in the class file as shown above.
Can anyone get access to xml file path by looking into installation files dispatched via CD?
Or is there any other safer way to do this?
Thank you for taking time to read my question and please add your input if you would like to share your knowledge.
cheers

How to read a XML file from BLOB column and insert in a table - PL/SQL Only

Hi,
To make data load more simple to end user instead placing file on the server and use SQL-LOADER, I came up with new idea that using oracle ebusiness suite attachment functionality. that loads a XML file from local PC to a database column(table is fnd_attachments, default data type is BLOB over here).
I tried with DBMS_LOB and didnt get around.
Please can anyone tell me how to read the BLOB column using PL/SQL and store the data in a oracle table. Here's the sample XML file and table structure FYI.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

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.

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?
Randy

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...

Loading XML file from desktop

Hi Expects!
I want to try out loading a XML file in BI 2004s. is it possible to load an existing file from the desktop to BI? or does it have to be 'pushed' by an external system only?
We have created webservice datasource, but we cannot assign a source of data to this, as no such option is available.
Thanks in advance

did not work?Generally we'll need a bit more info than "it didn't work", was there an ora-X error message? What was the error?
Assuming you're on *nix a 'C:\<folder name>\...' directory spec just plain won't work, the directory has to point to a valid storage location on the database server host.
Try a host command (at the database server) and make sure the .xml file name and location is valid, in sqlplus a "bang" (exclamation) runs a host command, i.e.:
SQL> !ls -l /xdb/faq/testdata
... usr grp ... 2003.xml
...But if you are on windows, its the `host` command:
SQL> host dir c:\drag_list\modified
mm/dd/yyyy ... 2011.xml
... The create directory ... as ... must point to a valid storage location for it to work, at least that is step one.

Hello
It is possible in 4.6.
Try this code:
REPORT Z_TEST_XML_DOWN .
data:
lp_ixml type ref to if_ixml,
lp_xdoc type ref to if_ixml_document,
lp_sfac type ref to if_ixml_stream_factory,
lp_ostr type ref to if_ixml_ostream,
lp_rend type ref to if_ixml_renderer,
lp_enco type ref to if_ixml_encoding.
data:
lp_root type ref to if_ixml_element,
lp_coll type ref to if_ixml_element,
lp_elem type ref to if_ixml_element.
class cl_ixml definition load.
data:
udat like lfa1,
s type string.
select single * from lfa1 into udat where lifnr = '0000000001'. " <- set here real number
*** create xml
lp_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
lp_xdoc = lp_ixml->create_document( ).
lp_root = lp_xdoc->create_simple_element( name = 'Node'
                                          parent = lp_xdoc ).
s = udat-land1.
call method lp_root->set_attribute( name = 'country_name'
                                    value = s ).
s = udat-name1.
call method lp_root->set_attribute( name = 'vendor_name'
                                    value = s ).
s = udat-ort01.
call method lp_root->set_attribute( name = 'city_name'
                                    value = s ).
*** render xml
types: begin of xml_tab_line,
         line(256) type x,
       end of xml_tab_line.
types: xtab type table of xml_tab_line.
data: t_xml type xtab,
      size type i,
      rc type i.
lp_sfac = lp_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
lp_ostr = lp_sfac->create_ostream_itable( table = t_xml ).
lp_enco = lp_ixml->create_encoding( character_set = 'utf-8'
                               byte_order = if_ixml_encoding=>co_none ).
call method lp_ostr->set_encoding( encoding = lp_enco ).
lp_rend = lp_ixml->create_renderer( ostream = lp_ostr
                                    document = lp_xdoc ).
rc = lp_rend->render( ).
*** export to file
size = lp_ostr->get_num_written_raw( ).
call function 'WS_DOWNLOAD'
exporting
    bin_filesize = size
    filename = 'c:\sapxml_test.xml'
    filetype = 'BIN'
tables
    data_tab = t_xml
exceptions
    others = 1.
It is just simple example.

Loading an xml file from jws : a nightmare !
