Missing characters in XML-result

Hi all,
on 23-12-1999 Vadim posted the following message. He did not get a satisfactory answer and as i have the same problem when using dbms_output (both in SQL+ and with TOAD) i post this one again.
The problem is that a character is missing and the text after this missing character starts on a new line. This way i can't use the XML.
Thanks, Bart
Hi, I'm trying to run an example from SQLUtility document to generate an XML from
sqlString = 'SELECT * FROM SCOTT.EMP';
Generated XML CLOB looks like the one below, being cut in the middle. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks, Vadim
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<EMPNO>7369</EMPNO>
<ENAME>SMI
</ENAME>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
null

Hi,
The CLOB will have the correct result. It is probably the DBMS_OUTPUT which is cutting it out, since u will be using put_line cutting the XML documents at arbitrary points.
is the lob itself in your case wrong?

  • Missing Characters in Frame Generated PDFs

    I had an odd thing happen, that I thought I'd pass on. I was working on
    my Mac to generate some statistical output. I printed out the results to
    pdf, imported the results in to a Frame 8 document as a referenced
    graphic. I then saved as a PDF with all fonts embedded. When viewing the
    resulting pdf, two of the statistical charts had missing characters.
    They just were not there. The two pdfs had been generated (accidentally)
    using the smallest pdf file setting in Distiller 9. The other
    problem-free charts had with all the fonts embedded made it through the
    workflow perfectly. Regenerating the charts as pdfs with all fonts
    embedded cured the problem with the final pdf.
    Who would have thought that pdfs with non-embedded fonts would have
    caused a problem down the line?
    ...Mike

    Mike,
    It's the same issue as with EPS with non-embedded fonts. FM's PDF
    importing routine converts the PDF to an EPS for internal use, so
    you're getting a PDF > EPS > PDF conversion taking place in the
    workflow. Drop a font and something goes awry.

  • ? is shown for Norwegian characters when XML document is parsed using DOM

    Hi,
    I've a sample program that creates a XML document with a single element book having Norwegian characters. Encoding is UTF-8. When i parse the XML document and try to access the value of that element then ? are shown for Norwegian characters. XML document file name is "Sample.xml"
                DocumentBuilderFactory dbfac = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                DocumentBuilder docBuilder = dbfac.newDocumentBuilder();
                Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument();
                Element root = doc.createElement("root");
                root.setAttribute("value", "Á á &#260; &#261; ä É é &#280;");

    readFile() - Reads the Sample.xml file
    When i run this program XML editor shows the characters correctly but Java code output is: Á á ? ? ä É é ?
    What's the problematic area in my java code. I didn't get any help from any source. Please suggest me the solution of this problem.
    Thanx in advance.

    Hi,
    I'm using JBuilder 2005 and i mentioned encoding UTF-8 for saving Java source files and also for compilation. I've modified my source code also. But the problem persists. After applying changing the dumped sample.xml file doesn't display these characters correctly in IE, but earlier it was displaying it correctly at IE.
    Modified code is:
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbfac = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                DocumentBuilder docBuilder = dbfac.newDocumentBuilder();
                Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument();
                Element root = doc.createElement("root");
                root.setAttribute("value", "Á á &#260; &#261; ä É é &#280;");
                doc.appendChild(root);
                OutputFormat output = new OutputFormat(doc, "UTF-8", true);
                java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();
                OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(baos, "UTF-8");
                XMLSerializer s = new XMLSerializer(osw, output);
                s.asDOMSerializer();
                s.serialize(doc);
                writeToFile("Sample5.xml", baos.toByteArray());
                InputSource o = new InputSource(new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream(readFile("Sample5.xml")));
                o.setEncoding("UTF-8");
                com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.DOMParser obj_parser = new com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.DOMParser();
                obj_parser.parse(o);
                Document obj_doc = obj_parser.getDocument();
                System.out.println("Value : " + new String(((Element) obj_doc.getElementsByTagName("root").item(0)).getAttribute("value").getBytes()));I'm hanged on this issue. Can u please provide me the code snippet that works with these characters or suggest solution.

  • Query regarding Handling Unicode characters in XML

    All,
    My application reads a flat file in series of bytes, I
    create a XMl document out of the data. The data contains Unicode characters.
    I use a XSLT to create XML file. While creating it I don't face any issues
    but later if I try to parse the constructed XMl file, i get a sax parsing exception
    (Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Character reference _"<not visible clearly in Browser>"_ is an invalid XML character.)
    Can some one advice on how to tackle this.
    regards,
    D
    Edited by: user9165249 on 07-Jan-2011 08:10

    How to tackle it? Don't allow your transformation to produce characters which are invalid in XML. The XML Recommendation specifies what characters are allowed and what characters aren't, in section 2.2: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets. The invalid characters can't come from the XML which you are transforming so they must be coming from code in your transformation.
    And if you can't tell what the invalid characters are by using your browser, then send the result of the transformation to a file and use a hex editor to examine it.
    By the way, this isn't a question about Unicode characters in XML, since all characters in Java are Unicode and XML is defined in terms of Unicode. So saying that your data contains Unicode characters is a tautology. It couldn't do anything else. If your personal definition of Unicode is "weird stuff that I don't understand" then do yourself a favour, take a couple of days out and learn what Unicode is.

  • Missing application web.xml

    hi,
    tomcat loads my application but then does not recognise the web.xml file i have placed in WEB-INF folder of my application, resulting in:
    missing application web.xml, using defaults only.
    can anyone tell me how to go about resolving this.
    Cheers,

    If you are using the application which uses web.xml data then if your application is getting loaded then that means that it is using your web.xml.
    But you r saying that it is using some defaults. so please check whether there is some comments continued and not allowed to using your tags.ie., whether our code is commented.

  • Missing characters when opening MIF8 in FM8 (p273)

    Hi,
    Something our translation vendor just discovered.
    Since it may have major ramifications for FM users who do alot of translations, we choose to post the bug report here too. More problems in CJK, Russian and Eastern European languages and less in Western European languages.
    Concise problem statement:
    Opening edited (translated) MIF files in FrameMaker 8 causes some of the extended characters disappear. Text containing extended characters for different languages are missing characters in FrameMaker, although all characters are present in the MIF file. The missing characters follow no particular pattern, most of the time all characters are there. (If you need more example texts in other languages to try this on, please contact me.)
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Create a new FM file and enter "Some text".
    2. Save the file as MIF (version eight).
    3. Open the saved MIF file in any text Unicode-enabled editor.
    4. Replace <String `Some text'> with <String `Ce produit est protégé par des brevets, des brevets de conception, des brevets en instance ou des brevets de conception en instance. Veuillez consulter la liste complète dans le manuel de référence sur CD-ROM.'>
    5. Save the edited MIF file.
    6. Open the MIF file in FrameMaker
    Results
    The word référence is missing characters, the text says "rfrence".
    Expected results
    All characters entered in the MIF file should appear correctly when the MIF file is opened in FrameMaker.
    Best regards,
    Mats Broberg

    Arnis,
    You are correct. The text between the tags is, I see now, a mistake on my side when quoting the vendor's report. Here is the bug report as it was posted to Adobe:
    =============================================
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:

    5. Save the edited MIF file.
    6. Open the MIF file in FrameMaker
    Results: The word référence is missing one é, the text says réfrence. All other characters are there.
    Expected results: All characters entered in the MIF file should appear correctly when the MIF file is opened in FrameMaker.
    =============================================
    I am not in the office at the moment and don't have access to FM8 until tomorrow but can you do a test on your side with your text to see if the problem persists?
    Two different vendors using two fundamentally different translation tools and workflows report the same type of errors, so I would be surprised if this is not a true bug.
    But I may be wrong.

  • Missing characters in generated PDF - Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    PDF documents printed from Framemaker or Microsoft Word are missing characters. Usually the missing characters are after bold text or headings. If the text is underscored, the underscores are printed, but the text is not. When I have these source files printed to PDF by someone using Acrobat Distiller included with FrameMaker 7.2, all of the text is included.
    I apreciate any ideas yo may have.

    Install the following Microsoft Hotfix.

  • Missing characters

    I, like others that I see on the forum, have a problem with missing characters. I am inserting pdfs into another pdf and while the original pdf displays and prints perfectly, when I insert it into the master document it no longer is correct. I tried importing the font and I still have the problem. I did the exact same proceedure with almost ecactly the same documents last month that printed almost perfectly. I just tried reopening the previously acceptable file and now it does not display or print properly. I was concerned about a message that said something about optimizing for web display. I supply these documents in printed and pdf format not for the web.

    If you have the fonts used in your documents the following steps should fix the problem:
    1) Use the PDF optimizer to unembed the fonts in your documents.
    2) Use the Preflight capability to re-embed the fonts in your document. I suggest you embed the entire font and not use font subsets, though embedding the font can cause the document size to grow for larger documents the size the embedded font is a not trivial.

  • [SOLVED] Fontproblem in Mathematica 10.0.0, missing characters

    I have some trouble rendering fonts in Mathematica 10.0.0 (AUR).
    There are missing characters, see this example:
    http://oi57.tinypic.com/2n80inl.jpg
    Mathematica does not print any error message when run from a console (is there a way to make it print errors?).
    Here is what Wolfram has to say about Fonts on Linux.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Things I've tried so far:
    * reinstalling
    * clearing /~/.mathematica/
    * installing/(uninstalling) font-mathematica (AUR)
    * installing the ubuntu fonts
    * messing with font-paths (see below)
    Mathematica stores its fonts in /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/, I tried adding the folders to the font-path even tho I'm thinking it should be able to find them anyway..
    I added a xorg 10-fonts.conf:
    cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-fonts.conf
    # Let X.Org know about the custom font directories
    Section "Files"

    mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/75dpi
    mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/OTF
    That silenced the warnings but did nothing re. my problems with Mathematica.

    xset fp+ /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG
    xset fp+ /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/AFM
    xset fp rehash
    But it wasn't helpful.
    [BTW I don't understand what the difference is between xset and using xorg.conf.d? Is xset only runtime, or where does it store the configuration?]
    (I'm probably going about this the wrong way, I'm new to fixing font issues...)

  • InDesign CS4 to PDF - Missing characters

    I created a brochure (2-sided with lots of copy) using InDesign CS4; I exported it to PDF [Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)].
    When opened in Acrobat 9 Professional on my computer, the file contents were perfect. The file was sent as an email attachment to prepress. When the printer opened it using Acrobat 7.0 Professional (don't know if it was on PC or Mac; they have both), there were missing characters.
    The word "officer" occurred eight times in the document. In two of those occurrences, the characters "ffi" were missing. The remaining 926 words conveyed without a problem.
    Any insights will be appreciated.
    Frank

    Embedding the entire font shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. InDesign embeds all the glyphs that are used. If the font is embedded at all, Acrobat only uses the embedded font.
    Furthermore, Acrobat (including Acrobat 7) uses the local fonts option if and only if the font being accessed is not at all embedded and that particular font is on the user's system.
    What is very suspect here is that the ffi ligature appears correctly in only 2 out of 8 occurrences in the word officer and that you see no problems on your system using Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Here is what I would look for:
    (1) Ascertain that the font is really embedded at all. Use CTRL-D and look to see whether the font is either embedded or subset embedded. If neither, that is the source of the problem. You could also run a preflight profile to ascertain that all fonts are properly embedded.
    (2) You might want to find out what your printer is
    really doing with your file. Is he opening a page or two in Illustrator, something can can cause very strange PDF corruptions? Are there any steps that he is performing before opening it in Acrobat such as processing it in some prehistoric workflow system that has more errors than an early Mets game?
    (3) Find out whether your printer at least has Acrobat 7 updated with all the updates issued by Adobe. They were a whole carload of them. I think about 12 such updates in the 24 months that Acrobat 7 was current. You might also want to suggest that at this point, Acrobat 7 is a fairly old version for any printer that wants to stay up to date in terms of PDF print publishing workflow.

  • Missing characters with menu drop down

    I have witnessed today a very strange problem. We have 2 new G5's (less than 6 months old)running 10.4.6. On both machines today I saw problems with missing characters. On one machine I was reinstalling Adobe CS2 Premium and the initial installation screen was actually missing characters in the words under the icons. Also, the menu bar drop downs were missing characters as well. I was able to figure out how to do the install and the rest of the install did not have a problem. After restarting the system, everything seemed to be fine.
    As I was working on reinstalling Adobe on the first system, the person on the second system asked me to come over and look at a problem he was having. He too was missing characters on the menu dropdown. Example: Shutdow actually was h tdown and most other drop downs were the same way. On this machine, there wasn't any applications running except Finder and Extensis Suitcase. When I restarted the system the problem was gone. Any ideas as to the cause and cure for this problem? Anyone else experienced this?

    No, there isn't. No matter which menu model you use, you'll
    always have
    to update everything on the server manually. You might want
    to explore
    the subject of server side include commands.

  • Missing large number of results through Bing Search API (web results only)

    When making multiple calls to the Bing Web Search API (with a different $skip parameter), many queries I try seem to be missing many of the result I'd expect.
    For example, searching for the string 'obama' on bing.com shows 107,000,000 results available.
    When I search using the web search API using:
    https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/SearchWeb/v1/Web?Query=%27obama%27&%24format=json
    I get 50 results, and the '__next' parameter is given as 'https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/SearchWeb/v1/Web?Query='obama'&$skip=50'
    If I repeat this several times, eventually I get a response with less than 50 results, and no '__next' parameter, indicating there are no more results.
    However, I always get far fewer than 1000 results (I'd expect there to be at least 1000). Trying to get 1000 results (by making a request and querying against the '__next' URL), I get different numbers of results each time:
    attempt 1: 355 results
    attempt 2: 441 results
    attempt 3: 358 results
    attempt 4: 692 results
    attempt 5: 692 results
    attempt 6: 694 results
    attempt 7: 659 results
    Querying for this should always return at least 1000 results, since 'obama' has 107,000,000 results listed when searching from bing.com
    Any idea what's going on here?

    Sorry to respond to this old thread, but the problem persists. It exists in both the web UI and the API. The initial result page (on the web) or result object (in the API) report millions of search results, however after clicking through a number of result
    pages (on the web) the total number is reduced to a few hundred. Similarly, in the API, setting the '$skip' parameter above this number does not return results. In the Obama case the first page shows 18.2 million results (http://www.bing.com/search?q=obama&go=Submit+Query&qs=bs&form=QBRE)
    but from page 35 and over only 529 results are reported (e.g., http://www.bing.com/search?q=obama&qs=n&pq=obama&sc=8-3&sp=-1&sk=&ghc=1&cvid=92729d6076e24a37a9e6ee099da99a4a&first=527&FORM=PERE7). Therefore the above problem
    does not seem to be related to the difference between the API and the web UI, but rather that Bing does not provide any results from a certain point (presumably because nobody is interested in them anyway). However, for data mining/web content analysis it
    is desired to get all results, even uninteresting ones. Is this behaviour documented somewhere, or can it be influenced?

  • Missing characters under menus

    I have witnessed today a very strange problem. We have 2 new G5's running 10.4.6. On both machines today I saw problems with missing characters. On one machine I was reinstalling Adobe CS2 Premium and the initial installation screen was actually missing characters in the words under the icons. Also, the menu bar drop downs were missing characters as well. I was able to figure out how to do the install and the rest of the install did not have a problem. After restarting the system, everything seemed to be fine.
    As I was working on reinstalling Adobe on the first system, the person on the second system asked me to come over and look at a problem he was having. He too was missing characters on the menu dropdown. Example: Shutdow actually was h tdown and most other drop downs were the same way. On this machine, there wasn't any applications running except Finder and Extensis Suitcase. When I restarted the system the problem was gone. Any ideas as to the cause and cure for this problem? Anyone else experienced this?

    Yes, but I had an instance yesterday where it did not. I deleted library/caches/com.apple.ats and restarted the system and it seemed to then work. I am still trying to isolate if it is an Apple issue or an Extensis Fusion issue.
