Modifying variables of type XML at runtime.

Greetings,
Here is the situation I am facing. A workflow is triggered by an incoming XML
event. After some processing, a portion of the xml document that triggered the
event must be modified and the newly modified document is then dumped onto a JMS
queue.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to modify part of the xml message
once I have it in a variable of type xml. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
-Matt

ok I think I need the cast as out.println does not support printing of an object.
Im sorry if it seems like a stupid question, using the reflection API is the most advanced thing I have done so far and this is my first year of work, I do find some of the concepts confusing.

Why assigning a subclass instance to a variable of type of superclass ?

Hi all,
What is the significance of assigning an instance of a subclass to a variable whose type is a superclass's type.
For eg. List list=new ArrayList();
If I do so is it possible to execute the methods of the subclass ?
regards
Anto Paul.

In addition, this is what polymorphism is all about:
abstract class Animal {
String name;
Animal(String name) {
    this.name = name;
public abstract void voice();
class Dog extends Animal {
Dog(String name) { super(name); }
public void voice() {
    System.out.println(name+" barks");
class Cat extends Animal {
Cat(String name) { super(name); }
public void voice() {
    System.out.println(name+" miaows");
public class Polymorphism {
public static void main(String args[]) {
    Animal[] animals = {
      new Dog("Fido"),
      new Cat("Felix")
    for (int i = 0; i < animals.length; i++) {
      animals.voice();
Here, we are looping through an array of Animals. In fact, these are concrete subclasses of the abstract Animal class. In this simple example, you can see from the code that the animals array contains a dog and a cat. But we could even extend this to read in an arbitrary Animal object that had been serialized into a file. At compile time, the exact class of the serialized animal would not be known. But polymorphism occurs at runtime to ensure the correct voice() method is called.
For the List, or Map example, conisder this:
public SomeClass {
public HashMap map1 = new HashMap(); // this ties you to hashmap
public Map map2 = new HashMap();      // this allows you to change Map implementation
public void process(HashMap map) {}   // this ties you to hashmap
public void process(Map map) {}       // this allows you to change Map implementation
}Suppose you use a HashMap for map2 to start with. But at some point in the future you would like to ensure your map is sorted. By specifying map2 to be a Map, you can change the implementation without having to modify each method call by simplying changing the initiliastion to be:
Map map2 = new TreeMap();Hope some of this helps :) Cheers, Neil

XMLTYPE variable converting to XML (Question)

Friends,
I am stuck on an error and cannot find a way out. Please help. I know it's a long question but a very simple answer to many smart people here. I am just lost and need your help. (I am new to SOA so bear with me)
I have a BPEL process which invokes a PL/SQL API which returns the XMLTYPE output which has the XML data. In order to convert the XMLTYPE to normal XML I do following :-
- I added a Java embed activity in BPEL with following code (Invoke_new_get_customer_order_info_OutputVariable','OutputParameters','/ns2:OutputParameters/ns2:X_CUSTOMER_ORDER_INFO_XML is the XMLTYPE)
(responsePayoad is string variable)
try{
Node node = (Node)getVariableData("Invoke_new_get_customer_order_info_OutputVariable','OutputParameters','/ns2:OutputParameters/ns2:X_CUSTOMER_ORDER_INFO_XML");
Node childNode = (Node) node.getFirstChild();
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(childNode), new StreamResult(writer));
String xml = writer.toString();
String nsXML = xml.replaceFirst("<FetchCustomerInfoResponse","<FetchCustomerInfoResponse xmlns=\"http://xmlns.djoglobal.com/OrderTracking/CustomerInfo\" ");
setVariableData("responsePayload",nsXML);
addAuditTrailEntry("XML with Namespace: " + nsXML);
} catch(Exception e){
addAuditTrailEntry(e);
System.out.println("Namespace injection failed due to : " + e);
After above I have ASSIGN activity where I use parsexml function on the "responsePayload" variable to assign to a variable of type element which refers to following xsd. This is where I get an "internal xpath error" during runtime which I cannot resolve.
XSD of the element variable refering to "FetchCustomerInfoResponse" element

Few modifications,
1. Initialize your int count to 0, int count=0;
2. Write count++; as the first statement in your for loop. 3. Remove count++; at the bottom.
4. Add a hidden field to your form (after submit button, but before your </form> tag)
<input type="hidden" name="qCount" value="<%=count%>">
Now use this code,
writeXML.jsp
<%
int qCount = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("qCount"));
String home ="C:\\Tomcat\\FYProject\\lib\\";
String filename = request.getParameter("file");
String extension = ".xml";
String filePath = home + filename + extension;
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filePath,true));
bw.write("<mc_QuestionType>");
bw.newLine();
for(int count=0;count<qCount;count++) {
     String Tquestion = request.getParameter("questionText"+count);
     String answer1 = request.getParameter("choice_1"+count);
     String answer2 = request.getParameter("choice_2"+count);
     String answer3 = request.getParameter("choice_3"+count);
     String answer4 = request.getParameter("choice_4"+count);
     String Canswer = request.getParameter("cAnswer"+count);
     bw.write(" <questionText>" Tquestion "</questionText>");
     bw.newLine();
     bw.write(" <choice>" answer1 "</choice>");
     bw.newLine();
     bw.write(" <choice>" answer2 "</choice>");
     bw.newLine();
     bw.write(" <choice>" answer3 "</choice>");
     bw.newLine();
     bw.write(" <choice>" answer4 "</choice><br>");
     bw.newLine();
     bw.newLine();
     bw.write(" <answer>" Canswer "</answer>");
     bw.newLine();
     bw.write("</mc_QuestionType>");
     bw.close();
%>Hope this works.

Read, Modify and Apply Report XML using Java Script

Hi Guys,
Is there any way that we can Pragmatically Read, Modify and Apply Report XML using Java Script or some other way.
Thanks
Kaushik
Edited by: Kaushik K on Jun 20, 2012 8:36 PM

Requirement ::
Users should be able to add Column to the Report Dynamically at Runtime.
(There are around 1000+ Users, Answers Approach is not acceptable)
So we are planning to provide a Multi Select / Shuttle Box Option for Users to add Columns dynamically. (Only for Table View)
What we planned to DO ::
Create a Presentation Variable Prompt, Which reads the Metadata Table (Presentation Table.Column Name, populated using the Metadata Dictionary)
And Create a report with One Column and the Column Fx like @{var_dynamic_columns}{'"Time"."Year","Time"."Month"'}
With this, OBIEE is rewriting the Logical SQL Currently as "Select "Time"."Year","Time"."Month" from "A - Sample Sales" "
But getting an error
The number of columns returned in retrieving column metadata was invalid (expected: 1; received: 2)
So we want to see, if we can rewrite the Advanced XML of the Report to have dynamic columns based on the Values from the Presentation Variable.
Please help me if this is a viable solution or any other better solution.

How to write select statement in XSL-FO type XML program

Hi All,
Could you please anyone explain briefly how to write select statement in XSL-FO XML Program.
Requirement:
In the seeded program, OAF page is creating one XML file and through XSL-FO type XML Pulisher loading data and generating PDF output. as per the requirement some of the informations are missing in the XML file and for modifing the OAF page will be taking someting. we are planing to write a select query inside the XSL-FO program to get the required information.
Could you please help me how to write a select statement inside the XSL-FO type programs.
Please give me some example program for this...
Thanks in Advance.

Hi ,
Please check the below code and modified plant as select-option
Check the below code :
tables : mara,
mast.
data : begin of i_data occurs 0,
matnr like mara-matnr,
end of i_data.
select-options : s_matnr for mara-matnr,
<b>S_werks for mast-werks.</b>
start-of-selection.
select a~matnr into table i_data
from mara as a inner join mast as b on amatnr = bmatnr
where <b>b~werks in s_werks</b>
and a~matnr in s_matnr
and a~mtart = 'AA'
or a~mtart = 'UT'
and b~stlan = '1'.
loop at i_data.
write:/ i_data-matnr.
endloop.
Hope you got it.

Use of variables in "FOR XML PATH"

Other than using dynamic sql (which we don't want to use) is there a way to use a variable in For XML Path, e.g.
select
FOR XML PATH (@BookName), ROOT('Book'), TYPE
TIA,
edm2

In terms of general XML design this is poor. An element is normally a 'thing', and the attributes are normally the properties of that thing. Therefore in your case you would have a Book property with a 'name' attribute. It would be impossible
to create an XSD for your xml, and makes it awkward for readers of your xml - how do they know the book name beforehand? Creating this xml in the normal fashion would also make it easy to create without any messing around ( string manipulation,
other hacks ), eg
DECLARE @BookName NVARCHAR(20) = 'SomeBook'
SELECT
@BookName "@name"
-- Other book attributes
FOR XML PATH ('Book'), ROOT('Books'), TYPE
So now you have a Book item(s) within a Books collection. Easy! : )

List of type XML

For some reason this is not working for me.
I created a custom component that accepts XML types and merges them together spitting back out a type that can be read into an XML type. I need to be able to have a variable number of XML variable so I thought a list would be appropriate. I can get the LIST type INT working and STRING. But not XML. Does anyone have any clue how I can get this working and/or create a variable number of XML types on the fly?

import
com.adobe.idp.Document;
List<Document> list =new ArrayList<Document>();
list
.add(xml);
Hope this helps.

Newbie how to define variable of type element?

JDEV 10.1.3.1
When I perform the following from BPEL designer in JDEV...
variable new
create variable
Select element type
Select a local file schema xsd
Select element of choice
Seems to define OK but fails to compile. Namespaces appear to include the namespace defined in the xsd.
When I define variables of type message and browse to the appropriate wsdl and pick a message from there this seems to work / compile just fine.
I am sure that since I am just getting started that this is a common error, please assist and thanks. Must all variables be defined as message types and reside in a WSDL?
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
I'm not sure whether it is possible to import a schema into a process directly. What I usually do is to import it into the wsdl-file describing the process interface. This is the file you use to define the client-partnerlink. If your schema is imported correctly, you can access the type-definition via the partner-links-node in the type chooser (this works at least in JDEV 10.1.3.3 and 10.1.3.4).
To import your schema into the wsdl, you need to go to the structure-view in wsdl-editor and after a right-click on the types-node select "insert types". Inside types you insert XML-Schema, inside schema you need to insert an import-tag. The properties for this tag are the file-location and the target namespace used in the schema. The resulting XML-structure should look like this:
<wsdl:definitions xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/" xmlns:tns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" name="Order_Processing_SystemPLT" targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment">
<wsdl:types>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import schemaLocation="Order_Booking___Shipment.xsd"
namespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment"/>
</schema>
</wsdl:types>
</wsdl:definitions>

Bonjour Loic,
Je te remercie pour ta réponse. Je réponds moi aussi un peu tardivement, ayant quelque peu laissé le problème de côté en attendant de trouver une solution. Mais merci pour ton retour.
Ton approche est en effet très intéressante, je n'avais pas du tout pensé à aborder le problème sous cet angle !
En revanche, j'ai du mal à imaginer comment retravailler ma base de données de façon à ce qu'elle entre dans le cadre de ce que tu proposes.
Actuellement, pour résumer, ma base est grossièrement organisée de la sorte :
Produit
P2O5
N
Zn
CaO
Mgo
Produit 1
23
3,2
1,2
Produit 2
4,3
2,2
Produit 3
26
Chaque colonne correspond donc à une balise XML, et mon code XML donne donc par exemple ceci :
<BLOC>
     <Produit>
               <NomProduit>Produit 1</NomProduit>
             <P2O>23</P2O5>
             <Zn>3,2</Zn>
          <CaO>,2,2</CaO>
     </Produit>
      <Produit>
               <NomProduit>Produit 2</NomProduit>
             <N>4,3</N>
             <MgO>2,2</MgO>
     </Produit>
      <Produit>
               <NomProduit>Produit 3</NomProduit>
             <N>26</N>
    </Produit>
</BLOC>
Comment retravailler ma base, de façon à ce que les différentes valeurs <quantité> correspondent aux bon termes <elements> pour chaque produit, et comment inclure différentes valeurs <quantité> et <element> pour un seul et même produit dans ma base ?
J'ai du mal à visionner comment réaliser cela..!
Je te remercie d'avance pour ta réponse,
Fabien

How to get values from a stored package variable of type record ?

Sir,
In my JClient form, I need to get values from a database stored package variable of type record. And the values are retained in the JClient form for the whole session. The values are copied only once when the form is started.
What is the best way to do that ?
Thanks
Stephen

Stephen,
not sure what your model is, but if it is Business Components, I think I would expose the properties as a client method on the application module. This way all JClient panels and frames will have access to it. You could use a HashMap to store the data in teh app module.
If JDBC supports the record type, then you should be able to call it via a prepared SQL statement. If not, you may consider writing a PLSQL accessor to your stored procedure that returns something that can be handled.

Can I modify the data type of a dynamic parameter?

I am using CR2008 against an Oracle 11 db and have a report with dynamic parameters.
One of the report sources is a custom view that selects all of the possible 'pay ending dates' where one of the fields from this view is used as the source for the dynamic parameter.
The view performs a TRUNC on the date field in an effort to eliminate the TIME component.
The problem is that the parameter definintion defaults to DATE/TIME (vs. just DATE). I'm wondering if there is any way to modify the data type of the parameter to be DATE only.
I've searched several forumns but have not found anything.
One solution I can think of is to have the custom view format the date field as a VARCHAR (sans the time component) which I assume would force the dynamic parameter data type to string, and then have the report perform a todate function on the value when applying the criteria.
Anyone else have an idea? Just seems like CR should allow the developer to specify the data type- especially b/w Date and Date/Time, rather than make an assumption.
Thank you in advance-
emaher

emaher,
Here's what you can do:
Leave the existing date column as it is in the view...
Just add another column to the view that casts the the date as a VarChar data type and formats the date as you would like it to be.
So now you'll have 2 date columns in the view... 1 that's still a date and another that a character string.
Now for your parameter, use the date version as the parameter value and the text version as the parameter description.
Be sure to set the "Prompt with description only" is set to true.
This way the user sees the LoV in the desired format but there's not need to wrangle it back into a date for data selection.
HTH,
Jason

Store a double into a variable of type int

if I have a calculated value of type "double", and I would like to store it as an "int" in a variable of type "int".
when i casted the double to int, seems it doesn't work.
what should the command be?
Thanks in advance!

post your expression. I'd bet you aren't casting the value of assignment but rather a component of some computation.
Something like this:
double dub = 2.4;
int returnvalue = (int)12/dub;as opposed to
double dub=2.4;
int returnvalue = (int)(12/dub);In the first entry, you would be casting 12 to an int and then dividing by a double and assigning the result to an int (returnvalue). Java will always try to expand precision to greatest common denominator, so the return value of the division will be a double (and hence the loss of precision assigning it to an int). The second entry properly casts the result of the whole expression as an int before assigning it to the int variable.

Mapping proc output to vars gets error extracting result into a variable of type (DBTYPE_UI2)

Hi, we run std 2012. I have a proc (sets nocount on) whose params r shown in the first block . My execute ssis sql task mapping is shown in the block following that (same order as shown, the param sizes are all -1). The variable
characteristics and initial values are shown in the 3rd block. The execute sql task command is
exec usp_fileArrivalStatus ?,?,?,?,?,? output,? output,? output
when I run the proc in ssms followed by a select on the output fields, I get stat 0, instance id -1 and file name empty string (aka tick tick aka '')
The error is:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "exec usp_fileArrivalStatus ?,?,?,?,?,? output,? ou..." failed with the following error:
"An error occurred while extracting the result into a variable of type (DBTYPE_UI2)".
Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Does anybody know what is wrong?

I may have gotten past this. The ui showed the first execution of that proc as the aborting component but when I looked at my error code (-1073548784), and component name in the
message sent with notification email, I noticed the second component name. It too executes that proc and still had ushort for appid in sql task mapping and long for instance id. I changed these characteristics to match what I posted and got green
on the seq container that runs both.
I think I go thru this kind of adventure every time I try to map proc output to ssis vars.

How can I assign a hard coded value to a variable of type OBJECT.

Hi,
   I have to call the following method
                                  lc_action_execute->get_ref_object(
                                                        exporting
                                                              io_appl_object = io_appl_object
                                                        importing
                                                               ev_guid_ref    = lv_guid_ref.
Now I have to hard code the io_appl_object variable (of type OBJECT) to test my application for the time being. How can I assign a value to the variable? Is there any way to do that?

I wouldn't use WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LISTGEN. Use wdr_context_attr_value_list instead:
data l_topics type zpm_main_topic_tbl.
l_topics = wd_assist->read_all_topics( ).
data lt_valueset type wdr_context_attr_value_list.
field-symbols <wa_topic> like line of l_topics.
field-symbols <wa_vs> like line of lt_valueset.
loop at l_topics assigning <wa_topic>.
    append initial line to lt_valueset assigning <wa_vs>.
    <wa_vs>-value = <wa_topic>-main_topic.
    <wa_vs>-text = <wa_topic>-main_topic_desc.
endloop.
data lo_nd_meeting type ref to if_wd_context_node.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <MEETING> via lead selection
lo_nd_meeting = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_meeting ).
data lo_node_info type ref to if_wd_context_node_info.
lo_node_info = lo_nd_meeting->get_node_info( ).
lo_node_info->set_attribute_value_set(
     name = 'MAIN_TOPIC'
     value_set = lt_valueset ).
