Need help with simple XML validation

I am new to Spry and need some help creating a simple
validation. There is a form field which must not contain a value
already in the database. I have a script which accepts a parameter
and returns a boolean result. Here is the XML:
<samples>
<sample>
<ISFOUND>0</ISFOUND>
</sample>
</samples>
1. How do I call this script when the form field changes and
pass the form value as the parameter?
2. How do I check the returned value in the XML and throw an
error if true?
I appreciate any help with this. Please let me know if there
is a better way to achieve the same result.
Thanks,
Rich

I enabled the call to the XML response. However, I am having
trouble identifying when the call is complete so I can parse the
result. How do I run my check after the data load and display the
proper message?

              xmlContainerConfig.setTransactional(true);
    xmlContainerConfig.setIndexNodes(true);
    xmlContainerConfig.setReadUncommitted(true);
    2. How many documents?
    Everytime the user logs in, the current xml document is loaded from
    a oracle database table and put it in the Berkeley XML DB.
    The documents get deleted from XML DB when the Oracle application
    server container is stopped.
    The number of documents should start with zero initially and it
    will grow with every login.
    3. What type (node or wholedoc)?
    Node
    4. Please indicate the minimum, maximum and average size of
    documents?
    The minimum is about 2MB and the maximum could 20MB. The average
    mostly about 5MB.
    5. Are you using document data? If so please describe how?
    We are using document data only to save changes made
    to the application data in a web application. The final save goes
    to the relational database. Berkeley XML DB is just used to store
    temporary data since going to the relational database for each change
    will cause severe performance issues.
    17. Please describe the shape of one of your typical documents? Please
    do this by sending us a skeleton XML document.
    Due to the sensitive nature of the data, I can provide XML schema instead.
    18. What is the rate of document insertion/update required or
    expected? Are you doing partial node updates (via XmlModify) or
    replacing the document?
    The document is inserted during user login. Any change made to the application
    data grid or other data components gets saved in Berkeley DB. We also have
    an automatic save every two minutes. The final save from the application
    gets saved in a relational database.
    19. What is the query rate required/expected?
    Users will not be entering data rapidly. There will be lot of think time
    before the users enter/modify data in the web application. This is a pilot
    project but when we go live with this application, we will expect 25 users
    at the same time.
    20. XQuery -- supply some sample queries
    1. Please provide the Query Plan
    2. Are you using DBXML_INDEX_NODES?
    Yes.
    3. Display the indices you have defined for the specific query.
         XmlIndexSpecification spec = container.getIndexSpecification();
         // ids
         spec.addIndex("", "id", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         spec.addIndex("", "idref", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         // index to cover AttributeValue/Description
         spec.addIndex("", "Description", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_SUBSTRING, XmlValue.STRING);
         // cover AttributeValue/@value
         spec.addIndex("", "value", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         // item attribute values
         spec.addIndex("", "type", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         // default index
         spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
         // save the spec to the container
         XmlUpdateContext uc = xmlManager.createUpdateContext();
         container.setIndexSpecification(spec, uc);
    4. If this is a large query, please consider sending a smaller
    query (and query plan) that demonstrates the problem.
    21. Are you running with Transactions? If so please provide any
    transactions flags you specify with any API calls.
    Yes. READ_UNCOMMITED in some and READ_COMMITTED in other transactions.
    22. If your application is transactional, are your log files stored on
    the same disk as your containers/databases?
    Yes.
    23. Do you use AUTO_COMMIT?
         No.
    24. Please list any non-transactional operations performed?
    No.
    25. How many threads of control are running? How many threads in read
    only mode? How many threads are updating?
    We use Berkeley XML DB within the context of a struts web application.
    Each user logged into the web application will be running a bdb transactoin
    within the context of a struts action thread.
    26. Please include a paragraph describing the performance measurements
    you have made. Please specifically list any Berkeley DB operations
    where the performance is currently insufficient.
    We are clocking 10-12 seconds of loading a document from dbd when
    five users are on the system.
    getContainer().getDocument(documentName);
    27. What performance level do you hope to achieve?
    We would like to get less than 5 seconds when 25 users are on the system.
    28. Please send us the output of the following db_stat utility commands
    after your application has been running under "normal" load for some
    period of time:
    % db_stat -h database environment -c
    % db_stat -h database environment -l
    % db_stat -h database environment -m
    % db_stat -h database environment -r
    % db_stat -h database environment -t
    (These commands require the db_stat utility access a shared database
    environment. If your application has a private environment, please
    remove the DB_PRIVATE flag used when the environment is created, so
    you can obtain these measurements. If removing the DB_PRIVATE flag
    is not possible, let us know and we can discuss alternatives with
    you.)
    If your application has periods of "good" and "bad" performance,
    please run the above list of commands several times, during both
    good and bad periods, and additionally specify the -Z flags (so
    the output of each command isn't cumulative).
    When possible, please run basic system performance reporting tools
    during the time you are measuring the application's performance.
    For example, on UNIX systems, the vmstat and iostat utilities are
    good choices.
    Will give this information soon.
    29. Are there any other significant applications running on this
    system? Are you using Berkeley DB outside of Berkeley DB XML?
    Please describe the application?
    No to the first two questions.
    The web application is an online review of test questions. The users
    login and then review the items one by one. The relational database
    holds the data in xml. During application load, the application
    retrieves the xml and then saves it to bdb. While the user
    is making changes to the data in the application, it writes those
    changes to bdb. Finally when the user hits the SAVE button, the data
    gets saved to the relational database. We also have an automatic save
    every two minues, which saves bdb xml data and saves it to relational
    database.
    Thanks,
    Madhav

    Could it be that you simply do not have set up indexes to support your query? If so, you could do some basic testing using the dbxml shell:
    milu@colinux:~/xpg > dbxml -h ~/dbenv
    Joined existing environment
    dbxml> setverbose 7 2
    dbxml> open tv.dbxml
    dbxml> listIndexes
    dbxml> query     { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }
    dbxml> queryplan { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }Verbosity will make the engine display some (rather cryptic) information on index usage. I can't remember where the output is explained; my feeling is that "V(...)" means the index is being used (which is good), but that observation may not be accurate. Note that some details in the setVerbose command could differ, as I'm using 2.4.16 while you're using 2.4.13.
    Also, take a look at the query plan. You can post it here and some people will be able to diagnose it.

  • Need help with this xml gallery !!!

    i have build a gallery but its very simple...... it takes images from xml file.
    i have attached all files in zip.
    i just want two things if anyone can help.
    first when i press next button it goes to next image but with no effect. it just displays next image ... i want to incorporate a sliding effect when the image is changed to another.
    and second i want to use autoplay feature.
    as soon as swf starts the images came one by one with difference of few seconds.
    thx in advance... i really need help in this....!

    You're welcome.
    I don't have an example to offer for the autorun.  You should be able to think it thru.  One key, as I mentioned is to preload all of the images first, that will allow for smooth playing of the show--no waiting for images to load between changes.  You can load them into empty movieclips and hide them (_viisible = false) until they are needed.  You could load them when called for, but you would have to put conditions on the displaying of things until the image loads, which will change when they are all loaded, so I recommend just loading them all first.
    For the timing you can use setInterval.  If something is going to be allowed to interupt the autorun, then you will need to make use of the clearInterval function as well, so that you stop the clock.
    Since you will be wanting to know when things are loaded, you will need to use the MovieClipLoader.loadClip method for loading the images instead of using loadMovie.  This is because the MovieClipLoader class supports having an event listener.  If you look in the help documents in the MovieClipLoader.addListener section, there is an example there that provides a fairly good complete overview of using the code.  The only difference is you'd be looking for the onLoadComplete event rather than the onLoadInit event.

  • Beginner needs help with simple code.

    I just statrted learnind java, and I need some help with this simple program. For some reason everytime I enter my Farenheit value, the Celsius conversion returns as 0.0. Would really appreciate the help. Thanks.
    Here's the code:
    public class TempConverter
    public static void main(String[] args)
    double F = Double.parseDouble(args[0]);
    System.out.println("Temperature in Farenheit is: " + F);
    double C = 5 / 9;
    C *= (F - 32);
    System.out.println("Temperature in Celsius is: " + C);
    }

    double C = 5 / 9This considers "5" and "9" to be integers and does an integer division, discarding the remainder. The result of that division is 0. Trydouble C = 5.0/9.0;

  • Need Help with simple array program!

    Hi, I have just recently started how to use arrays[] in Java and I'm a bit confused and need help designing a program.
    What this program does, it reads in a range of letters specified by the user. The user then enters the letters (a, b or c) and stores these characters into an array, which the array's length is equal to the input range the user would enter at the start of the program. The program is then meant to find how many times (a,b and c) appears in the array and the Index it first appears at, then prints these results.
    Here is my Code for the program, hopefully this would make sense of what my program is suppose to do.
    import B102.*;
    class Letters
         static int GetSize()
              int size = 0;
              boolean err = true;
              while(err == true)
                   Screen.out.println("How Many Letters would you like to read in?");
                   size = Keybd.in.readInt();

    }     Some errors i get with my program are:
    When reading in the letters to store into the array, I get the last letter I entered placed into the entire array. Also I believe my code to find the Index is incorrect.
    Example Testing: How many letters would you like to read? 3
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): b
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): c
    It prints "There are no a's'" (there should be 1 a at index 0)
    "There are no b's" (there should be 1 b at index 1)
    and "There are 3 c's, first appearing at index 0" ( there should be 1 c at index 2)
    The last thing is that my code for when the user enters "#" that the input of letters would stop and the program would then continue over to the counting and searching part for the letters, my I believe is correct but I get the same problem as stated above where the program takes the character "#" and stores it into the entire array.
    Example Testing:How many letters would you like to read? 3
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): #
    It prints "There are no a's'" (should have been 1 a at index 0)
    "There are no b's"
    and "There are no c's"
    Can someone please help me??? or does anyone have a program simular to this they have done and would'nt mind showing me how it works?
    Thanks

    Without thinking too much...something like this
    for(int start = 0; start < size; start++) {
                System.out.println("Please enter a letter (a, b or c) ("+size+" max), enter # to stop:");

  • I need help with simple problems. im a student.

    i'd like to be advanced with my studies so i will post questions.. i need help on how to answer. thank you.
    1. create a java program that will evaluate if the value entered is a positive, negative, vowel, consonant and special characters.
    im actually done with the positive and negative using if else statements.. i used an integer data type. now my question is how do conjoin the characters when i need to evaluate a vowel and a consonant. i cant use char either. please help. i dont know what to do yet.
    2. create java program that will translate the input from numbers to words. e.g. input:123 output: one hundred twenty-three.
    i have an idea to use a switch case statement. but i have no idea on how will i be able to do it. so if you guys can help me.. well then thankies..

    Welcome to the Sun forums. First, please note that you have posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for topics related to Sun's JavaHelp product. You should post your questions in the New to Java forum.
    As part of your learning, you will have to develop the ability to select an approach to a problem, create a design that reflects that approach, and then implement the design with code that you create.
    So, it's inappropriate for us to take the problem statement that you have been given and short-circuit your learning process by giving you the implemented problem solution. We can comment on the individual questions that you may have, and point out problems and errors that we see in the code that you develop.
    As a hint, when you are stuck, forget about Java and programming. Just start with a sheet of paper and a pencil, and figure out how to layout the task on paper. The consider how to translate that to programming.
    If you have problems, post short example code that shows the problem, and explain your question clearly. We can't read minds.
    Make sure you post code correctly so that it's not mangled by the forum software, and so that formatting is maintained. Select your typed or pasted code block and press the CODE button above the typing area.

  • Need help with reading XML using File Adapter

    Thanks for your response.
    I am not sure if there is any easier way, but I tried out the following tool available on the net to check an xml against a xsd:
    http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate/
    There were a few issues, that I corrected and finally had a xsd and xml that were matching and valid. I tried this out in my file reading BPEL process, but the error still remained the same!
    Here is my updated/simplified xsd and xml:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <xs:schema targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xmlfile"
    xmlns:tns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xmlfile"

    <alternategroup Name="DEF" Desc="DEF-Desc"/>
    <alternategroup Name="GHI" Desc="GHI-Desc"/>
    </revision-report>
    I even tried the option that is available in JDeveloper to generate a sample xml from a xsd (when in the context of a Transformation activity). The xml generated by this also seems exactly like the one above.
    So, I am not able to figure out why my BPEL process errors out with the message Invalid xml document.

  • Need help with table, xml files, click actions and visibility

    Hi.
    I am new to adobe livecycle and I need some guidance in a problem that I am facing.
    I have an XML. The main tag 'employee' has 4 tags in it, name, age, ph# and address.
    Address tag has 6 more tags in it.
    I have to create a table which has 4 columns initially (all text fields). The rows are populated acccording to the XML.
    1. S. No., which increments according to row number.
    2. Name from XML.
    3. Age from XML.
    4. ph# from XML.
    When any S. No. is clicked on, it should display the address details below that row, when it is clicked on again, it should hide those details and the original table view should be restored.
    I googled a lot but am still not able to get how to do this.
    Please help.

    I created a sample for you with what I think you want. Here is a file and the associated XML that goes with it.

  • Need help with simple file sharing application

    I have an assignment to build a Java File Sharing application. Since I'm relatively new to programming, this is not gonna be an easy task for me.
    Therefore I was wondering if there are people willing to help me in the next few days. I will ask questions in this thread, there will be loads of them.
    I already have something done but I'm not nearly halfway finished.
    Is there a code example of a simple file sharing application somewhere? I didn't manage to find it.
    More-less, this is what it needs to contain:
    -client/server communication (almost over)
    -file sending (upload, download)
    -file search function (almost over)
    -GUI of an application.
    GUI is something I will do at the end, hopefully.
    I hope someone will help me. Cheers
    One more thing, I'm not asking for anyone to do my homework. I will only be needing some help in the various steps of building an application.
    As I said code examples are most welcome.
    This is what I have done so far
    Server:

                }catch (IOException e) {
                    System.out.println("Error!");
    }Those three classes are simple client server multi-threaded connection.

    Now the other part that contains the search function looks like this:
    package ToJeTo;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class User {
        String nickname;
        String ipAddress;
        static ArrayList<String> listOfFiles = new ArrayList<String>();
        File sharedFolder;
        String fileLocation;
        public User(String nickname, String ipAddress, String fileLocation) {
            this.nickname = nickname.toLowerCase();
            this.ipAddress = ipAddress;
            sharedFolder = new File(fileLocation);
            File[] files = sharedFolder.listFiles();
            for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
                listOfFiles.add(i, files.toString().substring(fileLocation.length()+1));
    public static void showTheList() {
    for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.size(); i++) {
    System.out.println(listOfFiles.get(i).toString());
    @Override
    public String toString() {
    return nickname + " " + ipAddress;
    User Manager:
    package ToJeTo;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    class UserManager {
        static ArrayList<User> allTheUsers = new ArrayList<User>();;
        public static void addUser(User newUser) {
            allTheUsers.add(newUser);
        public static void showAndStoreTheListOfUsers() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
            BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("List Of Users.txt"));
            for (int i = 0; i < allTheUsers.size(); i++) {
                    System.out.println(allTheUsers.get(i));
                    out.write(allTheUsers.get(i).toString());
                    out.newLine();
            out.close();
    }Request For File
    package ToJeTo;
    import java.util.*;
    public class RequestForFile {
        static ArrayList<String> listOfUsersWithFile = new ArrayList<String>();
        Scanner input;
        String fileName;
        public RequestForFile() {
            System.out.println("Type the wanted filename here: ");
            input = new Scanner(System.in);
            fileName = input.nextLine();
            for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
                for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
                    if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
                        listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
        public RequestForFile(String fileName) {
            for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
                for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
                    if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
                        listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
        public static List<String> getAll() {
            for (int i = 0; i < listOfUsersWithFile.size(); i++) {
                //System.out.println("User that has the file: " + listOfUsersWithFile.get(i));
            return listOfUsersWithFile;
    }Now this is the general idea.
    The user logs in with his nickname and ip address. He defines his own shared folder and makes it available for other users that log on to server.
    Now each user has their own list of files from a shared folder. It's an ArrayList.
    User manager class is there to store another list, a list of users that are connected with server.
    When the user is searching for a particular file, he is searching through all the users and their respective files lists. Therefore for each loop inside a for each loop.
    Now the problem is how to connect all that with Client and Server class and put it into one piece.
    GUI should look somewhat like this:

  • Need Help with Simple Chat Program

    Hello Guys,
    I'm fairly new to Java and I have a quick question regarding a simple chat program in java. My problem is that I have a simple chat program that runs from its own JFrame etc. Most of you are probably familiar with the code below, i got it from one of my java books. In any case, what I'm attempting to do is integrate this chat pane into a gui that i have created. I attempted to call an instace of the Client class from my gui program so that I can use the textfield and textarea contained in my app, but it will not allow me to do it. Would I need to integrate this code into the code for my Gui class. I have a simple program that contains chat and a game. The code for the Client is listed below.

    Thanks for ur help!i have moved BufferedReader outside the loop. I dont think i am getting exception as i can c the output once.What i am trying to do is repeat the process which i m getting once.What my method does is first one sends the packet to multicasting group (UDP) and other method receives the packets and prints.

    for which I'm writing the following query 
    SELECT OpCodeXMLCol.query('
    declare default element namespace "http://www.starstandard.org/STAR/5";
    /ShowLaborOperations/ShowLaborOperationsDataArea/LaborOperations/LaborOperationsDetail[Combinations/VehicleGroupLaborAllowance/VehicleIdentificationGroup/VehicleGroupID="JTN"][LaborOperationID="001020"]
    -- specified [LaborOperationID="001020"] because there are multiple <LabrOperationDetial> ') as x
    FROM XMLData.dbo.OpCodeData
    where [ID] = 3 -- primary key for that row containing XML in first snippet
    but I'm getting both nodes for <VehicleIdentificatonGroup> whereas I expect to see one containing <VehicleGroupID>JTN</VehicleGroupID> as per filter in query. Please help

    The closest thing which makes sense:

    CROSS APPLY LaborOperationsDetail.nodes('Combinations/VehicleGroupLaborAllowance[VehicleIdentificationGroup/VehicleGroupID="JTN"]') B ( VehicleGroupLaborAllowance );
    Otherwise we need to destruct and rebuild the XML. This in this case imho better done with XSLT.

  • Need help with an XML-based SQL query

    Hello, everyone:
    I get 'no rows selected' from the following queries:
    SELECT extractValue((p.entity_types_xml), '/entities/test[a=fagioli]')
    FROM entity_types p
    WHERE
    existsNode(p.entity_types_xml,
    '/entities/test/text()') = 1;
    SELECT extractValue((p.entity_types_xml), '/entities/test/text()')
    FROM entity_types p
    WHERE
    existsNode(p.entity_types_xml, '/entities/test/text()') = 1;
    SELECT
    extractValue(p.entity_types_xml,'/entities/ARFinance-elem/entity-type')
    FROM entity_types p
    WHERE
    existsNode(p.entity_types_xml,'/entities/ARFinance-elem/ARFinanceTBD/text()') = 1;
    where the entity_types table looks like this:
    SQL> desc entity_Types;
    Name Null? Type
    ENTITY_TYPES_ID NOT NULL VARCHAR2(36)
    ENTITY_TYPES_XML NOT NULL XMLTYPE
    CLIENT_ID VARCHAR2(30)
    and the XML fragment looks like this:
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <entities
    xmlns="http://www.thirdpillar.com/xml/namespace/aom/entity"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.thirdpillar.com/xml/namespace/aom/entity ../generated/denormalized-schema.0.xsd">
    <test a="fagioli">pasta</test>
    <ARFinance-elem>
    <uid b="pasta">123</uid>
    <entity-type><![CDATA[ARFinance]]></entity-type>
    <ARFinanceTBD>tobedetermined</ARFinanceTBD>
    </ARFinance-elem>
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    As you can see, there is data in /entities/test[@a] as well as /entities/test/text(),
    so why aren't any of the queries returning the preceding XML fragment? Suggestions welcome and appreciated....
    Regards,
    Oswald
    ps: I'm sure I've overlooked something simple.

    Oswald,
    I think you need to add the namespace
    select extractValue(.....','xmlns:xsi="http://www.thirdpillar.com/xml/namespace/aom/entity"')
    from entity_types p
