Oracle's XML Publisher in JDeveloper and XSQL Servlet

A While ago, in this thread JDeveloper 10g, XSQL and FOP , was mentioned an ongoing effort for the "integration of Oracle's XML Publisher in JDeveloper and XSQL Servlet", Is this still happening ?, will this be something will be able to use without having to be an Oracle Apps shop? Any additional info would be appreciated.

Hi,
is there any progress about XML publisher integration with JDeveloper. I'm right now examining XML publisher but there is no explicit directions and explanations of using XML publisher with jdeveloper.
any news !?
best regards...

XML publisher with jdeveloper

Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is an API of XML Publisher for using with jdeveloper for development a reporting system. After I have run queries in database, I want to present tuples in a formatted fashion in PDF, RTF document etc. There are open source facilities like jasper reports etc, if XML publisher facilitates my reporting part of my system, I want to plan reporting development via XML Publisher!
So, How I can integrate XML Publisher with jdeveloper? Is there any API documentation?
best regards...

XML Publisher ships with 2 XDK parsers a 9i version for backward compatibility and 10g version - you can switch at runtim using the properties. However, you have to make sure that the XML Publisher versions of the libraries are used and not the ones coming with i.e. jdeveloper version or oc4j version that you are using. You should use the version shipped with XML Publisher, because these versions are thoroughly tested with XML Publisher.
See the deployment notes in the install document:
Oracle OC4J Deployment Notes
The version of the XML Parser shipped with Oracle OC4J is incompatible with XML Publisher. When you create an XML Publisher application for OC4J you need to configure the system to use the XML Publisher version of the XML Parser. This can be accomplished by setting an orion-web.xml configuration file with the following content:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<orion-web-app>
<web-app-class-loader search-local-classes-first="true" />
</orion-web-app>

Advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer

Hi,
anyone can explain advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer?
thanks in advance!

The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
In a bit more detail:
- I used word to generate my default table
- this created a field INVOICE_NUM
- in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
For any other formats this will not work.
I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

XML PUBLISHER FAX,EMAIL AND INTERNET FAX

Oracle Reports & XML Publisher

Hallo,
Will there be a Oracle Reports Server (native) Version for the Application Server 10.1.3 (and beyond) or will this Service be replaced by the XML Publisher?
Thx, Willi

BIP is a different tool that pretty much can do the same job. And (it appears to me) that BIP will eventually be replacing Reports. I am sure BIP will undergo a few more versions first...but Reports does not seem to be undergoing any new development (that I know of). This is just my two cents...
More to the point: You can also use Oracle reports or BIP or both to generate yoru reports and can even use Reports to generate the XML data (from the db of course) and then use this data file to feed into BIP and use BIP format templates to display the data and even have multiple BIP templates for a single data file.
In may respects BIP format templates are easier to work with (based upon MSWord) than the layout editor in Oracle Reports and this method allows you to keep the (sometimes very complex) sql in Oracle Reports intact, unchanged. However, the use of a MSWord plug in has limitations...
It is my opinion that currently BIP has many formatting limitations that are not present in Oracle Reports. To overcome these formatting limitations you pretty much need to learn XSL if you have complex reports. And it is not any easier than learning how to use XSL (if you are not a Java/DotNet type) than it is to learn the layout editor in Reports (IMHO) .
All of the above is my personal perspective based upon 10+ years on Oracle Reports and 14 months on BIP so take it with a grain of salt. I do not nor have I ever worked for Oracle.

OAS 4.0.8 and XSQL Servlet

Are there any instructions for configuring OAS 4.0.8 to work with

At the moment I feel there is no way to do that. Youe have to
use Apache and Jserv if you really need it now.

I4m still having problems with this, but maybe it4s not weblogic.
However, at least you need to modify the web.xml file for your web applicaition, as to register the servlet.

XML Publisher (EBS) Bursting and Group By

I have a feeling I already know the answer to this question, but maybe not and there is a way around it. I'm using the seeded report Deposit Advice XML from EBS, and I copied it so I can use bursting. Here is my problem. The xml is not grouped by the way we need it so when I burst it it will either email us the full file or each person in a separate email.
Here is what I'm TRYING to accomplish. Is there a way in the Bursting Control File to have records grouped, the bursted (either by print/email etc).
For example I would like to have all organizations_id in ('100','101,'102') grouped into one file then emailed. I don't think this is possible without changing the original xml file and since it's seeded and spawned thats not going to happen. It does filter the records and email me each person separately. But that's because the XML is formatted that way.
Any ideas?

JDeveloper and Win98--servlets work fine!

i was unable to run servlets because
JDeveloper couldn't find the NT command
interpreter at C:/CMD.EXE . My solution
was to just COPY COMMAND.COM CMD.EXE /R .
Now i can run servlets from inside the
IDE and access them by using the URL http://10.0.0.2:7070/servlets/servlet
in my web browser. The IDE does not
load the web browser automatically,
but everything else seems to work fine.
David

be advised the certified platforms for jdeveloper are win nt 4 (sp5 is recommended) and win 2000.
you may run into other issues by running jdeveloper on an unsupported o/s platform, such as, win 95, win 98, or win 'me'.
if you call oracle support , they will tell you the above and to migrate to one of the supported o/s versions.

XML Publisher 5.6.2 with JDeveloper 10.1.3

Hi,
I put one example of the users guide working, that transforms the xml and the xsl in a pdf report:
FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
processor.setData("d:\\ORACLE\\DOCUMENTOS\\XML Publisher\\Exemplos\\sales-report.xml"); // set XML input file
processor.setTemplate("d:\\ORACLE\\DOCUMENTOS\\XML Publisher\\Exemplos\\sales-report.xsl"); // set XSL input file
processor.setOutput("d:\\ORACLE\\DOCUMENTOS\\XML Publisher\\Exemplos\\sales-report.pdf"); //set output file
processor.setOutputFormat(FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF);
// Start processing
try {
processor.generate();
} catch (XDOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
System.exit(0);
Now, I want to use ADF to create a "print report" from a table (business components from tables), directly.
I'm trying with the HR schema, table of departments (database 10gR2).
There are any way to do this interactively??
I realy need always the xml file and the xsl file to create a report from JDeveloper?
Any idea?
Thank you in advance,

JDev ADF Faces and XML publisher integration

Hi,
I have an ADF Faces / BC project which I want to integrate XML Publisher for reporting and output purposes.
Following this note by Deepak Vohra http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/vohra-jdev-xmlpub.html (which was incredibly helpful by the way)
So far it's looking very promising but I have a few unknowns with the design.
1. The database connection.
In the examples a JDBC connection is opened (and actually forgotten to be closed!). I would like to utilise the AM pooling mechanisim rather than a seperate open/close situation. How do i properly reference/use the pooled AM java.sql.Connection?
2. Output
The examples write the PDF (what i am using) to the file system. Is it possible to write this to the browser response stream using a JSP or servlet? My preference is NOT to produce PDF's on the middle tier file system if possible. Need some guidance here.
thanks and regards,
Brenden

XML Publisher, PeopleTools 8.48.09 and OS390

Has anyone implemented XML Publisher as delivered in PeopleTools 8.48 and running their process scheduler in OS390 ?
We are running into issues while trying to kickoff XML publisher via scheduler and are receiving error "xmlpublisher PTFOProcessor.generateOutput error". Questions directed towards PS Customer Connection have drawn a blank and since OS390 is treated as "step-child" the answer is "OS390 does not support XML Publisher". We are finding this hard to digest when XML publisher is being advertised as a integrated tool.
If anyone is willing to share information, it would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Hi,
You need to download all the associated xml schemas from PeopleSoft portal and store them in the path where you are creating BPEL process, it's different from what we used to do in PeopleTools 8.47 ( there was only one wsdl file), whereas in PeopleTools 8.48 you need to copy all associated xml schemas.
But I m not able to find out why the native JAVA error is thrown, do I need to provide some patches?

Parse Error in XML Publisher .rtf template during "preview"

I've created a template based upon a working one with a few tweaks, but it does not work. It validates okay in XML PUblisher but the preview fails with this error:
Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Attribute 'select' not found in 'xsl:for-each'.
at oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XSLProcessor.reportException(XSLProcessor.java:806)
at oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XSLProcessor.newXSLStylesheet(XSLProcessor.java:571)
... 14 more
Since I don't have explicitly "xsl" anywhere, the actual problem is unclear to me. I have attached the template. I'd appreciate any sugestions. All I need to do is
1. Loop through all Campus Community checklist items
2. Loop through all STDNT_TEST_COMP rows
As I cannot attach the template or sample data, I"m pasting below the relevant portion of the template, even though it may look odd in plain text.
<?for-each-group:row_CHECKLIST_ITEMS;./fld_CHECKLIST_CD?>
APP Materials     Associated ID

XML Publisher:Concurrent Prg not picking the RTF Template

Hi All,
We developed the rdf report and design the layout and we registred it.when we run the concurrent program program is not picking the RTF template.
We are using the Following version.
Oracle Apps 11.5.10
xml pub is 5.6.2
So please do the need ful, pleaseeeeeeee
Thanks & Regards
Leela

that suggests you haven't got the setup of the data definition and/or the layout template right.
Go into the XML Publisher administrator responsibility and select 'Data Definition'
You need to make sure that when you create the data definition it has the same code as the concurrent program short name and application. This is the connection between the two.
Having create the data definition, click on the 'Templates' tab and create a template. It should connect with the data Definition you have just created.
Now upload your layout template file.
If you have this right, then you will be able to see the layout template from the onsite setting tab.
