Newbie - create xml to string

I'm new to JAXP. I just want to use JAXP to create a DOM, then get the XML to use as a String in Java without any directives. Just a simple as possible like :
<myelement>
<myprop name="myname"/>
</myelement>
Is there some simple code I can use to do this? It can create the simple DOM using the code below, but how to I get the String value?
          javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory dfactory =
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          Node top = doc.createElement("myelement");
          top.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("child"));
          doc.appendChild(top);
Thanks!

Creating a Function module to send XML Byte String

Hi all,
I have to create a Function module to get XML byte string.The internal table is dynamic coloums based on how many data selected as a importparameter.from the internal; table data I have to create a XML byte string as a output.Pl help me to proceed further.
Thanks in Advance.
Ram

If i have your question right you need to convert an internal table of unknown type to an xml string then to a byte string.
data xmlString type string.
data xmlXString type xstring.
call transformation id
   source
      table = internalTableYouWantToExport
   result
      xml xmlString.
export xmlString to data buffer xmlXString.
xmlString has the xml of the table and xmlXString contains the byte representation of the string.

Newbie - How to create XML based on given schema

Hello,
We have a requirement to create an XML message from our system (Oracle 9iR2 with Oracle Apps 11.5.10). The XML is generated from a query in our HR tables, and must be in a specific format (schema and example XML has been provided to us).
Newbie question is this: What is the best way to create this XML message (dynamic data coming from a SQL select) while ensuring that it matches the given schema? Most of our developers are strong PL/SQL with limited Java experience.
Thanks,
-- John

I've updated the FAQ with an answer and example for this question...
Please see the following thread

Newbie: Problem populating DataGrid from CF created xml

Hi,
I'm new to Flex and I'm working my way through the chapter 'Using HTTPService components' so I can populate a DataGrid from CF created xml.
The Document on Live docs works only partially for me - ColdFusion section under (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=data_access_2.html#195458).
The insert part works and I'm able to write to the database without a problem, but the DataGrid is not being populated and stays empty? I'm working locally, so there shouldn't be any cross-domain issue?
Hope someone is able to point into the right direction.
Thanks.

Use the debugger and see if any data is received from the server on request ( I'm assuming that somewhere, you are making a request to the server that should read some data ). If data is received then you are not populating the DataGrid correctly ( most likely you are not giving the correct path to the elements that should appear in the DataGrid ); else, the server-side script is not reading any data and you should check why.

MapViewer API: addMapCacheTheme creates unexpected XML request string

Hi,
I try to get a map with map cache theme on it. But MapViewer class generates an xml request string in which an unexpected wfs theme
exists. So I'm unable to add a map cache theme since the wfs theme causes a problem and i only get an image painted with background
color...
my java code is as follows:
               String viewerUrl = "http://localhost:8888/mapviewer/omserver";
               String dataSource = "ADATASOURCE";
               String mapCache= "AMAPCACHE";
               MapViewer viewer = new MapViewer(viewerUrl);
               viewer.setDataSourceName(dataSource);
               viewer.setImageFormat(MapViewer.FORMAT_PNG_URL);
               viewer.setMapRequestSRID(8307);
               viewer.setAntiAliasing(false);
               viewer.setMapTitle(null);
               viewer.setBackgroundColor(new Color(0xA6CAF0));
               viewer.setBackgroundImageURL(null);
               viewer.setDeviceSize(new Dimension(480, 480));
               //viewer.setBaseMapName(baseMap);
               viewer.addMapCacheTheme(mapCache, dataSource, mapCache, true);
               viewer.setCenter(29, 41);
               viewer.setSize(1);
               //For debugging issues
               String req = viewer.getMapRequestString();
               viewer.run();
value for req variable is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_request

</theme>
</themes>
</map_request>
The first theme is the one that i wanted to add.
The second one (bold) is the one that causes trouble. I don't know where it comes from.
This problem occured when i started to use mvclient.jar that came with patch 6453515 which changed MapViewer version from
Ver10131_B06102 to Ver11_B07100.
The old mvclient.jar (came with MapViewer Ver10131_B06102) produces the following xml request string:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<map_request
datasource="ADATASOURCE"
srid="8307"
width="480"
height="480"
bgcolor="#a6caf0"

Hi Cihan,
it is confirmed to be a bug with this client library and it will be fixed. Thanks.

Hi Mahendra,
This is an example to save a form as XML :
try
                System.Xml.XmlDocument oXmlDoc = null;
                string sXmlString = null;
                oXmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
                // get the form as an XML string
                sXmlString = Form.GetAsXML();
                // load the form's XML string to the
                // XML document object
                oXmlDoc.LoadXml(sXmlString);
                string sPath = null;

                sPath = System.IO.Directory.GetParent(sPath).ToString();
                // save the XML Document
                oXmlDoc.Save((sPath + @"\Form" + sType + ".xml"));

            catch (Exception ex)
                SBO_Application.MessageBox("ERROR in 'SaveAsXML()' : " + ex.Message, 1, "Ok", "", "");
And an example to navigate in the XML file :
System.Xml.XmlDocument xxml;
                                System.Xml.XmlNode node;
                                System.Xml.XmlNodeList nodes;
                                xxml = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
                                xxml.LoadXml(oRecAU.GetAsXML());
                                nodes = xxml.SelectNodes("BOM/BO/IFC_AU/row");
                                foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode node in nodes)
                                    oColumn.ValidValues.Add(node.SelectSingleNode("Code").InnerText, node.SelectSingleNode("Name").InnerText);

Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset

I am getting Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset.
It was working fine from small result set object but when the size of resultset was more than 25,000, heap space error
I am already using -Xms32m -Xmx1024m
Is there a way to directly write to xml file from resultset instead of creating the whole document first and then writing it to file? Code examples please?
here is my code:
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
result = stmt.executeQuery();
result.setFetchSize(999);
Document doc = JDBCUtil.toDocument(result, Application.BANK_ID, interfaceType, Application.VERSION);
JDBCUtil.write(doc, fileName);
public static Document toDocument(ResultSet rs, String bankId, String interfaceFileType, String version)
    throws ParserConfigurationException, SQLException {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = builder.newDocument();
        Element results = doc.createElement("sims");
        results.setAttribute("bank", bankId);
        results.setAttribute("record_type", "HEADER");
        results.setAttribute("file_type", interfaceFileType);
        results.setAttribute("version", version);
        doc.appendChild(results);
        ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
        int colCount = rsmd.getColumnCount();
        String columnName="";
        Object value;
        while (rs.next()) {
            Element row = doc.createElement("rec");
            results.appendChild(row);
            for (int i = 1; i <= colCount; i++) {
                columnName = rsmd.getColumnLabel(i);
                value = rs.getObject(i);
                Element node = doc.createElement(columnName);
                if(value != null)
                    node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(value.toString()));
                else
                    node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(""));
                row.appendChild(node);
        return doc;
public static void write(Document document, String filename) {
        //long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        // lets write to a file
        OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(document); // Serialize DOM
        format.setIndent(2);
        format.setLineSeparator(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
        format.setLineWidth(80);
        try {
            FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(filename);
            BufferedWriter buf = new BufferedWriter(writer);
            XMLSerializer FileSerial = new XMLSerializer(writer, format);
            FileSerial.asDOMSerializer(); // As a DOM Serializer
            FileSerial.serialize(document);
            writer.close();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        //long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
        //System.err.println("W3C File write time :" + (end - start) + " " + filename);
    }

you can increase your heap size..... try setting this as your environment variable.....

value: -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

Creating XML File Using xmldom Package

How can I create an XML file from scratch using the PL/SQL xmldom package?
I want to create an XML file using the xmldom package instead of building the individual tags as strings of VARCHAR2 character data. There is quite a bit of documentation regarding manipulating input XML files using DOM -- but not for creating XML files from scratch given known "tagnames" (<lastName>) and retrieved database "values" ("Smith").
<person>
<lastName>Smith</lastName>

Is there any documentation that you can recommend?

I've re-used this script on 20+ client installs and it's always worked. The structure of the script allows you to pass the path and filename of the XML document as parameters to the subflow. (The document is in the repository)
I loaded this script in UCCX 8.0.2 recently and it crashed with a Java.IO error. It looked like it was trying to read the file system directly and not the repository. (In the Linux appliance model this kind of makes sense but why is the step trying to read the file system directly?)
So I open a TAC case (SR# 615243125) and TAC tells me that the method of using the Create File Document step is not supported anymore and that I should specify the filename directly in the Create XML Document step
The problem that I see (aside from having to edit all my scripts that use XML files) is that the Create XML Document step is looking for the input to be a type DOCUMENT and not a type STRING. This seems to imply that I have to hardcode the document in each script that I deploy for a customer. When it was a string it was easy to construct the full file path from parameters and pass to the subflow.
Questions to the group
#1 Am I missing something here?
#2 Do you assume that you'll be able to load a script that worked fine in UCCX 7 into UCCX 8 and that it should completely function when you're doing everything according to the step reference documentation.
#3 Cisco didn’t document this in any way that I can find.
#4 How can you use the Create XML Document step in a fashion that would let you construct the path of the file and the filename previously in the script so you could pass it to a subflow ? It would seem this functionality has been killed in UCCX 8

(Background)
Create File Document Step
The input filename is a STRING, could be an explicit path and filename in the repository or a variable that represents that path and string
The output of this step is a DOCUMENT to be used in the Create XML Document step
The string FILE_FullPathHolidayFiles references en_us\folderName\documentName.xml
The document was properly uploaded into the repository only, NOT trying to directly read c:\foo\blah…

The create XML document input can only be a type DOCUMENT

#1 Am I missing something here?
You are mixing two different issues together here.
The Create File Document step is indeed not needed or supported for creating an XML document. That is why there is a unique step; to trigger XML parsing within the MIVR subsystem.
Accessing the file system is restricted to a single folder within the VOS model (i.e. 8.0+). This folder is not backed up, replicated, or cleaned up automatically. It was intended to give developers some FS access as a temporary swap location only.
#2 Do you assume that you'll be able to load a script that
worked fine in UCCX 7 into UCCX 8 and that it should completely
function when you're doing everything according to the step reference
documentation.
Assume nothing; read the documentation and attend one of the dozens of partner training sessions that CCBU put on advising of the upcoming changes.
#3 Cisco didn’t document this in any way that I can find.
You're right, I guess, on the Create File vs. XML Document step. AFAIK Cisco never wrote a notice into the Step Reference Guide explicitly stating that you cannot use the Create File Document although the documentation seemed pretty clear to me without it. File system restrictions are documented in the 8.0 release notes.
Scripting and Development Series: Volume 2, Editor Step ReferenceUse the Create XML Document step to create a logical document that maps a document to another document variable (where the document has already been pre-parsed as an XML document and is ready to be accessed by the Get XML Document Data step).Use this step before the Get XML Document Data step to obtain data from a document formatted using the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
#4 How can you use the Create XML Document step in a fashion that would
let you construct the path of the file and the filename previously in
the script so you could pass it to a subflow ? It would seem this functionality has been killed in UCCX 8
No it hasn't; just concatinate a string to build the Source Document parameter the step needs. Example: "DOC[" + myFilePath + "]"

Create XML Element Tag BasedOn Found Character Style

Hi,
Good Day!
Basically I want to search only for character styles that contains "ntb-", that is why it is hard coded in my searchString variable.
Although I was able to create XML tag based on selected character style, but it will always add/insert at the end of the parent XML element.
Can anyone could help me how insert/add that element at the insertion point where the text is found?
Thanks,

Here is a way you can find any field.
Download the current template.
Open it in word and go to the line that you are interested in.
The blanket PO# will be a field. Right click on it and go to properties. You will see the xml element there.
Hope this answers your question,

XML Input String too long to Test Web Service in App Server

We have a Web Service that accepts an XML input string but when we deploy this web service and try to test it through the Application Server it errors out because the input string is too long. Is there any way around this??
Thanks...

Update:
Now I see that there are in fact two error messages. The second one is the one presented above. But the first one says:
Line: 145
Char: 97
Error: Expected ';'
Code: 0
My question now is to what file it is referring?? Is it to ProjectAccountingPort.js that is automatically created? THen why is it not properly created??
Please, please help me with this! The deadline is in a few days...

Passing xml as string to xmlPanel function

hello Genius,
I am using XML2UI feature of Extending Flash. I want to pass
XML through string in place of xml file in xmlPanel function.
is there any way to avoid creating 20 xml files and
distributing them as my planned extension have 20 ui's.
thanks in advance.

Hai Shyam,
I have tried to do as u have mentioned but still its not taking it as a paramater.
i mean the API say
parse
public void parse(InputSource input) throws IOException,
SAXExceptionParse an XML document.
The application can use this method to instruct the XML reader to begin parsing an XML document from any valid input source (a character stream, a byte stream, or a URI).
Is is any way to convert string to (char stream or byte stream).
Thanks a lot
Pooja.
