Oracle XML DTD

I have a question about the design of Oracle XML, specifically what capabilities exist when transmitting a requisition and/or purchase order for a customer who is using the Oracle buyer tool. I would like to see the dtd for Oracle XML, but cannot find it anywhere. It appears to be called OAGI XML, but I'm not sure and I can't find any detailed technical information on it. Can someone point me to the right web page?
Thanks,
Don

Hi,
XML Gateway will support only specific standard which is mentioned in
user guide. And in your case the Message designer is not treated note
as parent so it's throughing that error but if you create one more parent node above it i will not through error.
Thanks

Why the oracle XML parser "parses" the DTD comments?

Hi all,
I always use the header
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>
to be able to use foreign characters in the XML documents.
The oracle xml parser handles this correctly.
My problem is, when I write comments inside the DTD, the
parser reports "Invalid UTF8 encoding".
Why the parser "parse" the comments? (protected by )
How do I say that the DTD encoding is different from UTF, like
ISO-8859-1?
Example of a correct DTD and corresponding XML, reporting
problems, related to the 2nd comment in the DTD specification,
written with ISO-8859-1 characters.
The DTD:

<!ELEMENT valid ( B, C ) >

<!ELEMENT B (#PCDATA) >
<!ELEMENT C (#PCDATA) >
The XML:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>
<!DOCTYPE valid SYSTEM 'valid.dtd'>
<valid>
<B>How are you, Conceigco</B>
<C>I'm fine, thank you.</C>
</valid>
The parser output:
[jgr@frontera test-dtd]$ java oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxml -v
valid.xml
Error while parsing input sourcevalid.xml(Invalid UTF8 encoding.)
Thank you for any help.

I was wrong in saying that the attributes are not added to the element.My main aim is to add a array of elements to the root node.
Is there a efficient manner in adding the elements , rather than adding them individually with the help of appendChild method.
Thanks in advance.

Can't convert oracle.xml.parser.DTD to oracle.xml.parser.v2.DTD.

I am getting the following Error while trying
to compile the SampleMain.java file(Generating an XML document from a given Employee.dtd).
I have set my classpath to use xmlparser.jar.
D:\XMls>javac SampleMain.java
SampleMain.java:65: Can't convert oracle.xml.parser.DTD to oracle.xml.parser.v2.DTD.

Would you check the java parser version you are using? If using java parser V2, the normal lib name is xmlparserv2.jar.

How to insert XML/dtd data into oracle db

Hi,
I have posted this question on couple
sites and unfortunately I haven't received
any response. Hopefully this time,
someone can at least direct me to the
website/document/sample codes which can provide me solutions of my question.
My question is:
Given a DTD, can the XML SQL Utility generate
the database schema?
I am trying to find out how the XML data can
be loaded into the oracle database.
Thanks in advance,
Judy
null

A DTD does not contain enough information to do a good job at creating a database schema. It contains no datatype information, no field length information for starters, so a table created by a hypothetical DTD->to->Tables utility would be at best able to create a table with all VARCHAR2(4000) columns. Not that useful.
My book contains lots of examples of techniques for loading XML data into Oracle, include lots of sample code and a whole chapter devoted to building a flexible "XMLLoader" utility for loading XML of arbitrary size into the database.

Oracle.xml.parser.v2.SAXParser error

I'm reposting this error that I recently received one more time before removing the XML transforms from my Java projects and doing them in .NET.
Code that was working fine suddenly getting a transform error using JDeveloper.
Get the following:
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: XML-22000: (Fatal Error) Error while parsing XSL file (weblogic.xml.jaxp.RegistryXMLReader cannot be cast to oracle.xml.parser.v2.SAXParser).
at weblogic.servlet.jsp.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:417)
Seems that

will not transform XML to HTML via XSL in JSP anymore.
If I run the XSL i get the HTML results I expected in an HTML test page.
So I know the XML and XSL is sound.
XSL and DOM parsing in Java/Oracle was a major pain in the ass in the first place and now this.
Well I've spent hours going through Oralce/Java documentation on XML, DOM and XSL transforms.
All that time spent and still so unstable. I don't think I was ever able to really get what I wanted
which was to transform my XML document to HTML, update via JSP and have the XML document
be updated and ready to view in a summary page. The XML document changes were never really
available unless I closed the app and restarted. So all in all a failure of capabilities compared to my
use of XML in .NET.
So........
Me thinks it will be a good idea to take out the transforms and have my JSP use a script to invoke a
method in a class that extracts it from a message. Just have PL/SQL interface with XML and do the
transform or serialize thing there.
I don't want to give up on XML but I'm tired of trying to jam a square peg into a round hole
with Java and JDeveloper.

We don't support file references ("cv1_0.dtd"). Only url type references
are supported, of the form:
@ <!DOCTYPE cv1 SYSTEM "http://www.oracle.com/public/cv1_0.dtd>
Note that the url should be accessible to the world without the need to authenticate.
you could put your dtd in the "public" area in your iFS system.

Oracle XML Gateway- Mapping XML to Oracle Apps API - Wrong Number or types

XML GATEWAY INBOUND – CALLING AN API (PL/SQL record type IN variable) TO INSERT THE DATA INTO SAMPLE TABLE
Hi,
I am using XML Gateway to push data into Oracle Apps using a procedure call with “Record Type” as the parameter. I am getting a “wrong number” or types of arguments mismatch error inspite of following the process described in the Oracle XML Gateway User’s Guide
Steps followed:
DB
1. I Created a sample table XX_CUST_HIST(ID NUMBER, ACCOUNT_NAME VARCHAR2(50), FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(50), LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(50), TITLE VARCHAR2(50))
2. I then Created a package ‘XX_XML_DEMO_API’ in which we have defined a record type and a procedure.
3. The Record type ‘customerRecordType’ holds account_name , first_name, last_name and the title.
4. The Procedure ‘insert_customer_r’ takes 2 IN arguments :
1. p_ id number
2. p_customer customerRecordType
5. The procedure will insert the values into xx_cust_hist table
p_id -> id
p_customer.account_name -> account_name
p_customer.first_name -> first_name
p_customer.last_name -> last_name
p_customer.title -> title
Now I need to call the procedure ‘XX_XML_DEMO_API . insert_customer_r’ from XML gateway.
Following are the steps to call the procedure:
[1] Create DTD
ELEMENT NEW_CUSTOMER_APIR (DATAAREA)
ELEMENT DATAAREA (CUSTOMER_DATA)
ELEMENT CUSTOMER_DATA (ID, CUSTOMER_RECORD)
ELEMENT ID (#PCDATA) ELEMENT CUSTOMER_RECORD (ACCOUNT_NAME, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, TITLE)
ELEMENT ACCOUNT_NAME (#PCDATA)
ELEMENT FIRST_NAME (#PCDATA)
ELEMENT LAST_NAME (#PCDATA)
ELEMENT TITLE (#PCDATA)
[2] Creation of XML map Data Definition type for Source and Destination are set to XML.
While executing the procedure ‘XX_XML_DEMO_API . insert_customer_r’ in post_process from the message designer, instead of 2 (p_id IN number , p_customer IN customerRecordType) parameters it is showing 6 parameters (p_id IN number, p_customer IN customerRecordType, account_name IN varchar2, first_name IN varchar2, last_name IN varchar2, title IN varchar2). Six parameters are getting mapped, instead of the 2 that the procedure really needs.
[3] Testing of XML map. Error message in transaction monitor:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'INSERT_CUSTOMER_R' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored -
ECX_ACTIONS.BIND_PROC_VARIABLES
The process executed and produced the error message given in the step 3. The standard documentation is unclear on how this should be done. Being a newbie to the XML Gateway technology I am unable to get a clue about what the error message could be and which step of the process produced the message. Could anyone help me to proceed further?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Siva,
It seems like the walletkey property of event type is defined incorrectly. Please try by defining the event as follows:
<wlevs:property name="walletkey" type="char" length="20"/>
Use "char" instead of "char[]".

JDeveloper Error ! oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Cannot map Unicode

Hi All,
I have 2 identical table structures with different data in Oracle.
I am using following xsql and XSLT sheet to produce xml files with these tables. ( have to run twice xsql file by changing the Table names )
When I run the xsql file with Table1, it works fine, produced the xml file on the browser.
But when I run the xsql file with Table2, it gives following error message:
The XML page cannot be displayed

Hi Deepak
Thanks for the post, but I am afraid that's not the issue with the error.
I changed both encoding to "UTF-8" still i get the problem.
I tried even without the XSLT sheet, still I have the problem..

Oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLQuery GetXML -withDTD

I'm trying to create a dtd for each table in my schema. I've created a java program that loops through the user_tables and I am then trying to create the DTD with oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLQuery -withDTD. I am able to make it work using the XSU Command Line Utility, but I'm having a hard time trying to find out where the -withDTD flag goes inside my java program. Anyone know how to use the -withDTD option inside of a java program?
Thanks

[from XmlRpc-Java]
As a result, my XML
is contained in a String instead of an InputStream.
It is possible to convert a String to an InputStream using
StringBufferInputStream, but this class is deprecated in favor of
StringReader (as StringBufferInputStream does not properly convert
characters into bytes).
For the default HTTP transport, an InputStreamReader could be used to
wrap the InputStream before calling parse().
Ultimately, the InputStream is converted to an InputSource for use by
the SAX parser. InputSource will accept a Reader as well.
[from XmlRpc-Java]
There should be a way to go from "getXMLString()" to "parse(Reader)" also. In the meantime I'm stuck.

Simple questions for Oracle XML Team - please respond

1) Which class/methods should be used to obtain the content
model (mixed-content or element-content) associated with each
element declaration in a DTD? In other words, how do I know if a
particular element can have child elements and/or data in a
valid XML document, the frequency each child element can appear
under a particular element, and whether a sequence list or a
choice list was used to declare the element?
2) Do you have any bug reported so far for this part of Oracle's
parser made available in the last released?
Thanks,

Howto force Oracle XML parser not to expand entity references?

Hi,
Is it possible to force Oracle XML parser (Java) not to expand entity references, so that they appear in DOM tree as separated nodes after parsing XML?
Example:
for following XML
<tag>abcäxyz</tag>
I get:
Element: "tag"
|-Text: "abcdxyz"
but I would like to get:
Element: "tag"
|-Text: "abc"
|
|-EntityReference: "auml"
|
|-Text: "xyz"
I've already tried to use JAXP api (setExpandEntityReferences method in java.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory), but it doesn't seem to work.
I'm using parser from XDK Java v9.2.0.2.0 Production.
Thx,
James

This is requested code sample:
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setExpandEntityReferences(false);
System.out.println("isExpandEntityReferences = "+dbf.isExpandEntityReferences());
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document d = db.parse("file://c:/test.xml");
Element e = d.getDocumentElement();
System.out.println("documentElement"+ e.getTagName() + " nodeType=" +e.getNodeType());
System.out.println("ChildNodes:");
NodeList nodeList = e.getChildNodes();
for(int i=0; i<nodeList.getLength();i++) {
System.out.println(i+" value=\""+nodeList.item(i).getNodeValue()+"\" nodeType="+nodeList.item(i).getNodeType());
Content of test.xml:
<!DOCTYPE test SYSTEM "test.dtd">
<test>abcäxyz</test>
Content of test.dtd:
<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY auml "ä">
When you run it you will get the following output:
isExpandEntityReferences = true
documentElementtest nodeType=1
ChildNodes:
0 value="abcdxyz" nodeType=3
which means that EntityReference has been expanded.
As you can see in the output the isExpandEntityReferences method returns "true", even though I set it to false in code!
Does it mean that Oracle parser simple doesn't support this feature???
Thx,
James

Adding entities to Oracle XML parser

Hi all,
We have found a problem when applying a xsl to a xml that contains unknown entities (such as &emsp;) to the Oracle xml parser.
Is there any way to add entities to the parser? We have a file that contains all the entities we are talking about and we want to pass that file to the parser. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Juan

What do you mean "add entities to the parser" exactly? You can add custom entities using the XML 1.0 facility for defining entities either in an external DTD or internal subset. See the annotated XML 1.0 spec for details.

OC4J and Local (system) XML DTD files

I am in a situation where I am deploying a web application to an instance of 10.1.2 that is on a public-facing box that does not have the ability to access the outside world via the web due to security restrictions.
When I start the application, I'm getting connection refused errors because the XML parser is trying its hardest to validate the XML files for Spring and MyFaces by remotely fetching the DTD file. Is there a way I can get the application to read a local copy of the DTD without having to hard code a full path to the file?
I've tried changing the doctype declaration for MyFaces to look like this:
<!DOCTYPE faces-config SYSTEM "web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd">And I put the DTD in the same directory as the XML configuration file (in the WEB-INF directory). Eclipse seems to like that ok, but when I deploy that to 10.1.2, I get the following exception:

Thanks in advance!

Avi, you're right, the parser is indeed wanting a real URL. So here's what I've done. I replaced the dtd filename with the complete path to the file, so it looks like this:
<pre>
<!DOCTYPE faces-config SYSTEM "file:///C:/path/to/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd">
</pre>
I deployed, started the app, and it worked. This doesn't really feel like the right solution, however, because I'm going to have to rely on a hardcoded file location for the DTD on our production server. If our admins change that, then I'm out of luck and would have to redeploy the application. Does anyone know if there is a way to get this to be more relative?
One idea that someone gave me was to put the DTD files in a web-accessible location in the application and reference via http:// instead of file://. At least that way I wouldn't be dependent on the file system. I'd still have to hardcode a URL so I couldn't use the same files for all our development environments, but it might be a slightly cleaner solution. Another possible (yet really ugly) solution is to inline the DTD's in the XML file.
Asanka, I'm not quite sure I follow what you said. Where would I put such code to use Xerxes? In a servlet loaded on init?
Thanks for the help so far, everyone.

Need help, oracle xml db jar conflicts with sup app server v9

I am trying to create a web service on sun app v9 that will work with calls to oracle xml db on oracle 10gr2. I have successfully created a web service on other application servers (weblogic and websphere) but sun was the app server of choice. The oracle jar xmlparserv2.jar is causing problems with the sun server as it seems to have bundled some java classes from the javax.xml.parsers, javax\xml\transform (and even from dom, sax and streams sub folders) packages.
If I put the oracle jar in my war the error I get in the log file when accessing my webservice tester is:
[#|2007-08-13T08:37:48.691-0400|INFO|sun-appserver-pe9.0|javax.enterprise.system.stream.out|_ThreadID=15;_ThreadName=httpWorkerThread-8080-0;|error: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd<Line 31, Column 3>: XML-20100: (Fatal Error) Expected '>'.

error: Expected '>'.
line ? of http://ann-griffithlap.jsc-eses.com:8080/TestWS/TestWSService?WSDL#types?schema1|#]
And the UI error from the tester call is:

I had attempted to move the xmlparserv2.jar elsewhere in the classpath for classloading and one error I got while trying different spots was:
[#|2007-07-16T14:16:57.982-0400|SEVERE|sun-appserver-pe9.0|javax.enterprise.system.tools.deployment|_ThreadID=10;_ThreadName=main;_RequestID=c9ffb261-2b6d-4dd2-bd8f-362e6b2af1a0;|INFO: JAXP SAXParser property not recognized: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage|#]

which gets repeated for each deployment and then the server would not start up.
Is there any suggestions of where I can put the oracle jar to get sun to still start up as well as the jar to be available for use by the classes in my war that also contains the webservice that will call my underlying class? I have not found a way to eliminate the oracle jar if I want to do an xquery against oracle xml db.
Thanks,

Oracle XML Parser validation against XML Sxhema

Hi,
I am developing a program in C++ on Unix, that does parsing on an XML document. For parsing I am using "Oracle XML Parser" [using DOM API]. My question is, Can Oracle XML Parser validate xml document against an XML Schema file also? I have read in many tutorials that it can validate against DTD. Please clarify my question as early as possible?
Regards,
Raghuram.

Hi Kulkarni,
I think you are trying to retrieve the text of the parent element of book. For example if this is the xml element
<bookdetails>
<book>Harry Potter</book>
<author>JK Rowling</author>
<price>34.55</price>
</book>
</bookdetails>
You must be trying to retrieving the text of bookdetails.
Check XMLNode.getNodeName() to retrieve the name of the node.
To get 'Harry Potter' as output you need to traverse till book and then use XMLNode.getText()
You can check the 'getQuestions()' method in Survey Sample
to know how to tranverse to any element of an XML using Java.
The Survey Sample is located at
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/survey/content.html
Download the sample and unjar it. The location of Analyser.java is
SurveySample\code\Survey\src\oracle\otnsamples\survey\business\Analyser.java
Have a look at it.
