Moving an existing xml element into aTable

Hi Everyone,
After importing the xml I need to place or convert the xml elements into the table. Is there any way to do this by JS?
Here is the sample Table xml elements....
<table-wrap id="ch3_t1">
<label>Table 3.1</label>
<caption>
<title>Anatomy and Classification of Major Hepatic Resections</title>
</caption>
<table>

Looking forward your replies... Your help will be thankful....

You may want to look again, specifically section 20.11 Moving Oracle Enterprise Content Management to a Production System, Task 4.
The same basic steps would apply to 10g, minus the WebLogic parts. (Also note that prior to 11g, what you are attempting is really a non-supported configuration. In 11g, Oracle at least gives this set of supported pointers.)

Existing XML documents into KM

Hello Everyone
Is there a way to load existing xml documents into KM and then maintain them using xml forms built using the form builder. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Swetha

Hi Renuka
You can move the XML projects from one server to another.The Xml forms created is stored in the path 'etc\xmlforms' in KM. You can send it out and Upload to the target server instead of creating the same in the Target server from the scratch.

Check for existing XML element

Dear all,
I'm trying to write a simple script first checking to see whether an XML element exists, and then creating it if it doesn't. I've tried editing a piece of code that I used previously to do the same for paragraph styles, but apparently it's not that straightforward. Currently, all I get is the error "Cannot execute the script in target engine 'main'!" Without the checking, adding the XML element based on the search result works fine.
/* Find all instances of the word "Superscript" */
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "Superscript";
var mySuperscript = myDocument.findText(); // Save search result for future reference
/* See if an XML element named "Superscript" already exists, and create it if that's not the case; then add it to all instances of the word "Superscript" */
var myXMLElementSuper = myDocument.xmlElements.item("Superscript");
try {
var myName = myXMLElementSuper.name;
catch (myError){
    var myXMLElementSuper = myDocument.xmlElements.add({markupTag:"Superscript", xmlContent:mySuperscript[i]});}
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Julian

Try this,
app.findTextPreferences=app.changeTextPreferences=null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "Superscript";
var mySuperscript = app.activeDocument.findText();
for(var i=0; i< mySuperscript.length; i++)
    if(mySuperscript[i].associatedXMLElements[0].markupTag.name != "Superscript")
        app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.add({markupTag:"Superscript", xmlContent:mySuperscript[i]});
app.findTextPreferences=app.changeTextPreferences=null;

See XML updating functions : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/xdb04cre.htm#i1032611
For example :
UPDATE my_table t
SET t.my_clob =
      XMLSerialize(document
        insertChildXML(
          XMLParse(document t.my_clob)
        , '/Activity/Spawned'
        , 'Activity'
        , XMLElement("Activity", 'Some GUID')
WHERE ...
;Although it works, there's overhead introduced by parsing the CLOB, then serializing again.
Is there any chance you can change the CLOB to SECUREFILE binary XMLType storage instead?
You would then be able to benefit from optimized piecewise update of the XML and improved storage.

How to import an XML element into a loop parameter is XSL

Hi,
We are using XSL template to generate output in a pdf format. The input in an XML file. In the XSL we have a loop. Currently the initial and final value of the loop counter is hardcoded in the xsl file.
<xsl:call-template name="forloop">
     <xsl:with-param name="i">1</xsl:with-param>
     <xsl:with-param name="count">6</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
Down below we are using
     <xsl:template name="forloop">
          <xsl:param name="i"/>
          <xsl:param name="count"/>
          <xsl:if test="$i <=$count">
               <fo:table-row>
               <xsl:call-template name="forloop">
                    <xsl:with-param name="i">
                         <xsl:value-of select="$i + 1"/>
                    </xsl:with-param>
etc, etc.
Query :
Currently the final value of the loop is hardcoded to 6. I want to set its value based of an element BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM value (which can be either 0 or 6) of the XML File.
<LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT>
<G_BAR_CODE_PRINT>
<BAR_CODE_PRINT>Y</BAR_CODE_PRINT>
<BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM>6</BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM>
</G_BAR_CODE_PRINT>
</LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT>
Can anyone please tell me how this is to be done. I have tried the following but it did not work.
Approach 1 :
<xsl:if test="LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM > 3">
     <xsl:with-param name="count">6</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM < 3">
     <xsl:with-param name="count">0</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:if>
Approach 2 :
<xsl:with-param name="count"><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="no" select="LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM"/>
</xsl:with-param>
Thanks

I have managed to resolve it. It was a problem with the nesting of the attribute. The following worked
<xsl:with-param name="count"><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="no" select="/NUMNEWJOBCARD/LIST_G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/G_BAR_CODE_PRINT/BAR_CODE_PRINT_NUM"/></xsl:with-param>
Thanks

Adding text to parentStory destroys XML element / JavaScript, InD CS4

Dear scripters,
I'm currently stuck with this problem:
- I'm writing text to text frames on a layout page
- while writing some characters/strings are XML tagged (I'm creating an element)
- I can do this only once, because adding more text after I have created an XML element destroys the link to the element
Here's my sample:
var MyBox = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
MyBox.geometricBounds = ["0pt","0pt", "200pt", "200pt"];
//Fill some content into the text frame
MyBox.parentStory.contents = "bla";
//create a xml element for some of the text
app.activeDocument.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add("test1", MyBox.parentStory.characters.itemByRange(1, 2));
//so far so good...
//now some calculating
var result = "456";
//add result to the text frame
//doing this destroys the link to the existing xml element
MyBox.parentStory.contents += result;
//doing this creates a new xml element with the wrong characters selected and linked
app.activeDocument.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add("test2" , MyBox.parentStory.characters.itemByRange(4, 2));
Can someone please help on?
Best regards,
TYPO

Hello Harbs,
thank you, it almost works now; the xml element brackets are not destroyed anymore.
The only problem I have now is that the second element becomes a child of the first one.
How can I force each element to be "independent"?
Here's the code:
var MyBox = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
MyBox.geometricBounds = ["0pt","0pt", "200pt", "200pt"];
var MyContent = "bla";
MyBox.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].contents = MyContent;
MyBox.parentStory.characters.itemByRange(-1, -MyContent.length).select();
app.activeDocument.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add("test1" ,app.activeDocument.selection[0]);
MyContent = "456";
MyBox.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].contents = MyContent;
MyBox.parentStory.characters.itemByRange(-1, -MyContent.length).select();
app.activeDocument.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add("test2" ,app.activeDocument.selection[0]);
Best regards,

Load XML content into HTML enabled TextField

I'm trying to figure out how to use html such as <br />
loaded from an XML element into a TextField.. if I use something
like
<desc>my description<br />line 2</desc> I
get 3 nodes instead of one when loading the XML file. If I use
something like <desc>my description<br />line
2</desc> then I get <br /> in the actual text.
Can anyone clue me in as to how to store HTML in an XML
element so I can load the content into a Dynamic TextField with
HTML enabled?
Thanks much!

use the latter in your xml and use the htmlText property of
your html-enabled textfield to display your text.

Inserting an element into an XML document

I am simply looking insert a new element into an existing XML Document using JDOM. Here is my code so far:
public class UserDocumentWriter {
     private SAXBuilder builder;
     private Document document;
     private File file = new File("/path/to/file/users.xml");
     private Element rootElement;
     public UserDocumentWriter() {
          builder = new SAXBuilder();
          try {
               document = builder.build(file);
               rootElement = document.getRootElement();
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               System.err.println("ERROR: Could not build the XML file.");
          } catch (JDOMException jde) {
               System.err.println("ERROR: " + file.toString() + " is not well-formed.");
     public void addContact(String address, String contact) {
          List contactList = null;
          Element contactListElement;
          Element newContactElement = new Element("contact");
          newContactElement.setText(contact);
          List rootsChildren = rootElement.getChildren();
          Iterator iterator = rootsChildren.iterator();
          while (iterator.hasNext()) {
               Element e = (Element) iterator.next();
               if (e.getAttributeValue("address").equals(address)) {
                    contactListElement = e.getChild("contactlist");
                    contactListElement.addContent(newContactElement);
                    writeDocument(document);
     public void writeDocument(Document doc) {
          try {
               XMLOutputter output = new XMLOutputter();
               OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
               output.output(doc, out);
          } catch (FileNotFoundException ntfe) {
               System.err.println("ERROR: Output file not found.");
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               System.err.println("Could not output document changes.");
     }However, the problem is, the newly added element will always be appended to the end of the last line, resulting in the following:
<contactlist>
            <contact>[email protected]</contact><contact>[email protected]</contact></contactlist>Is there anyway in which I can have the newly added element create it's own line for the purpose of tidy XML? Alternatively is there a better methodology to do the above entirely?

Your question is not very clear.
Do you want to know How to insert an element into an XML document?
Answer: I can see you already know how to do it. You have added the element using addContent()
or do you want to know How to display the XML in a tidy format?
Answer: to view the XML in a properly formatted style you can you the Format class. A very basic way of viewing the XML would be:
   * Prints the Document to the specified file.
   * @param doc
   * @param filename
   * @param formatting
public static void printDocToFile(Document doc, String strFileName,
      boolean formatting)
    XMLOutputter xmlOut = null;
    if (!formatting)
      xmlOut = new XMLOutputter();
    } else
      Format prettyFormat = Format.getPrettyFormat();
      prettyFormat.setOmitEncoding(false);
      prettyFormat.setOmitDeclaration(false);
      xmlOut = new XMLOutputter(prettyFormat);
    try
      if (doc != null)
        FileWriter writer = new java.io.FileWriter(strFileName, true);
        xmlOut.output(doc, writer);
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
      } else
        System.out.println("Document is null.");
    catch (Exception ex)
      System.out.println(ex);
}

Placing a PDF graphic into an existing XML hierarchy?

I have an existing XML hierarchy that has a picture element that looks like this:
<picture href=""></picture>
which is already placed in a TextFrame.
I'd like to place a PDF graphic at the location of this element, in essence updating it.
I'm able to update the href attribute with the correct filename, but this doesn't create a placed graphic AFAICT.
I can place a graphic in my TextFrame, but don't understand how to specify this <picture> element as its location.
Any pointers to example code, or hints/tips?
Greatly appreciated!
Charles

Oh, right. Did we forget to tell you that trying to use XML in InDesign is usually a bad idea and that you could do much better without it?
Anywhohowwhichwhywhere...
In keeping with that theme, XML doesn't really come into play. If you have a rectangular frame rect and a filename filename and you want to place filename in the rect then you just use: rect.place(filename);
So in your case, it's just about defining the two. I guess:
var rect, filename;
rect = app.documents[0].selection[ROW].associatedXMLElement.
xmlElements[COL].xmlElements[0].xmlElements[0];
filename = new File(rect.xmlAttributes[0].value);
rect.place(filename);
Of course, if your filename is really a URL you'll have a spot of trouble there, maybe.
And you might be better off using XPath, i.e. .evaluteXPathExpression("//picture") to get your rectangle.
And what if href= isn't the first attribute of the <picture/> tag?
I suppose that perhaps you should consider using the .placeIntoFrame() and .placeXML() methods of the XMLElement class. I suspect you'll be sorry if you try, but go ahead :-).

XML tag markers moved: Find and Replace causing problem in xml elements

Hi All,
I am doing find and replace using GREP. While using the expression like $1, $2 (Found Items) in the change to field it changes the placement of tag marker. If the found item is a part of two of more xml elements, I am getting a serious problem while replacing it. (ie. The xml tag markers are moved.)
See the screen shot below, then you may get better idea. And help me to overcome this issue.
This is just an example to show you what i'm trying to say, there are so many cases like this.
Original text/ Before doing find replace
After replacing
Green4ever

Hi Peter and John,
but it seems to me that the example is looking for any space that
follows a semi-colon and has two word characters following it, and
repalce that with an em space. I think you could do the same using look
behind and look ahead and not need to replace the found text.
Yes you are right about the look behind and look ahead. I'd like to show some more examples to show what the actual problem is,
Original/Before Replacing,
(Consider there is another case here, instead of em-space some times normal word space will also be there)
Using the Grep:
Find What---------> ^(\d+\.(?:\d+)?)~m
Change To------------->$1\t
After Replace:
Did I make any sense? Eventhough this will not make any changes in the layout, my requirement is to insert the tab out-side the tag marker not indise.

How to update Elements value inside existing xml file

Hi Gurus,
Am somehow new to java and working on xml with java, i have a scenario where i want to update the elements of my existing xml file, i know its possible as i have posted one code on this forum which updates the values of the arrtibutes of existing xml file. Ref :
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=34&thread=186091&start=15&range=15&hilite=false&q=
But am not able to use the same code to update the vlaues of the attribute.
if i have this xml file :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RootElement>
<Transaction>
<Task9>
<TaskID>Task9</TaskID>
<Description>My Test Case</Description>
<Time>12/12/2004</Time>
</Task9>
</Transaction>
<Transaction>
<Task2>
<TaskID>Task2</TaskID>
<Description>Testing my xml</Description>
<Time>12/12/2004</Time>
</Task2>
</Transaction>
</RootElemen>
Now i want to update teh </Description> and </Time> field using the code that i have given above in the link.
If any one can help me ill really appreciate.

The value of an element is stored in a child node of that element. For example, let's say that "e" references the node <Description> then:
e.getFirstChild().getNodeValue() => "My Test Case"

When Editing A Web Page In Edge Animate, How Can I Embed Edge Elements Into Pre-Existing DIV's?

I created a basic layout with some boxes in Dreamweaver. I set the Overflow property on them to "Hidden". I then opened the page in Edge Animate. However I noticed that when I import stuff, such as an image, then try to drag it into one of the existing DIV's, it won't work. It stays on top of all the other DIV's. However if I create a box or some other sort of DIV directly in Edge Animate, I can drag the Image element into that, so it's enclosed within that DIV.
I guess the workaround appears to be to embed the image into the DIV in Dreamweaver first, then open the page in Edge. However it would be nice to not have to keep jumping back and forth like that. Is there a way to do this in Edge Animate?
Also, I noticed when I select one of the DIVs I made in Dreamweaver, many of the Properties such as Corners, Shadow, and Filters are missing. Can these only be used on DIV's created directly in Edge Animate?

Hi, neohtom-
What you're seeing is the difference between what we define as a static div (one that is defined outside of Animate) and a managed div (one that is defined inside of Animate). Due to the fact that we expect other products to change a static div, we limit the amount of changes you can make to a static div. Because we "manage" a div that is created inside of Animate, we allow a lot more changes to be made to a div. Hope that answers your question! I'd suggest creating divs within Animate if you want to eventually change them to have corners, etc.
Cheers,
-Elaine
