Oracle XML interface ...

I downloaded the softwares like OracleXMLSQLUtility, OracleXSQL Servelet, Apache webserver, Apache Jserv etc. on my windows NT machine. And installed them according to respective installation instructions.
How do I test the functionality to get and store XML documents into database? And how to test that all the above mentioned softwares are installed and communicating to each other properly.
I am using Oracle 8 client on NT and Oracle8i server on Sun Solaris.
Thx
Vaishu

XSQL Servlet comes with a number of demonstrations to help test if it is properly installed. The release notes explain how to set them up. You can see the exact same set of demos at:

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.
Thanks,

Nls support with oracle xml parser in java

I'm using The JAXP interface to manipulate xml with xsl. the implementation that I use is Oracle xml parser.
My xml contains a lot of hebrew chars, and in the result stream each char translated into 5-6 chars, which makes the result to be 5-6 times bigger than it suppose to be, and harder for me to debug my application.
The client's browser shows the results well.
How can I make the transformator to transform the hebrew chars to hebrew char istead of longer and not readable string ?

This is a Bursting problem under EBS 5.6.3. In production we have 5.6.2 and since our development system to 5.6.3 has been upgraded, the following error occurs on every single Burst being done using the Concurrent Manager only:

I can run the same file through 5.6.3 ($JAVA_TOP) libraries mounted on my JDev with no problems. Also the same XML file runs fine on Production under 5.6.2 - no problems. I have also checked the XML file using a syntax checker. I know this is not a syntax issue even though it looks like it.
Could someone point me in the right direction - explain what this means. Getting desperate as 5.6.3 will be going into production soon and all Bursting will fail with this error. I can't get the simplest XML File to Burst - NOTE this is only occurring on the EBS system (even running without the CM ie. a standalone java main it fails). I think this has something to do with the XML parser version and the EBS environment.
Please help...

Hi Tim, good thinking - wouldn't have thought to check this file. Anyway can confirm that the problem is happening with multiple burst control files so I haven't checked the files themselves as the problem seems systemic. anyway here is an example.

I will start stripping the control files to make sure they are not the problem in the meantime.

Sending document to oracle xml gateway web service and body is url encoded

Hello,
a question from a complete newbie to web services. I have some code that is sending a soap message to an oracle xml gateway web service. In the soap message the values in the soap body look like &lt ;CNTROLAREA&gt ;
when I would be expecting <CNTROLAREA>. What I have been told is that the content of the ReceiveDocument element has been url encoded which causes the &lt and to correct it I need to change the paramater type from object to xmlnode and to build the request as an xmldocument. The xmlnode and xmldocument comes from a .net guy so I've been trying to find the equivalent in java but am not having any luck. I have a lot of reading to do but was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction on how to correct the problem. I captured the soap message being sent using tcpmon. Why does the body have the &lt instead of the < as I was expecting and is there an xmldocument type? The header part of the soap message looks as I expect. "><soapenv:Header><ns1:XMLGateway_Header xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/fnd/XMLGateway"><ns1:MESSAGE_TYPE>XML</ns1:MESSAGE_TYPE>. It is being sent as a com.oracle.xmlns.apps.fnd.XMLGateway.XMLGateway_Header type.
thanks
Thanks

B2B-50029: B2B runtime error: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Start of root element expected.

Dear All,
I am a beginner to Oracle B2B.
I have created an agreement to Recieve 852, Product Activity data(POS) from one of the Trading partner. This is an inbound process.
A SOA composite application is created to Recieve the data and insert into perticular columns of the database table using database adapter.
I have tested the Interface with some couple of file and it went perfect without any error. Now I have to test the interface with some other files.
This time also I am not getting any error in Business Message, Wire message and Application message but the composite application is not picked.
The log file shows : B2B-50029: B2B runtime error: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParserException: Start of root element expected.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue. it will be of great help.
Thanks,

Hello,
Just a thought, When I had the similar problem, it appeared to be a BOM (Byte order mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) in the xml file, which is the very first character in the xml file, so the file was not identified to be a valid xml file. Removing the BOM from the xml file fixed my problem, however, I did not spend much time in fixing using B2B, the vendor (sender of the file) fixed the file and started sending without BOM. So my work was easier.
The character is not visible in all XML editors, however, it was visible in JDeveloper. I used a tool to identify and remove during testing until the vendor fixed the file, the tool is called file bom detector,http://www.bryntyounce.com/filebomdetector.htm
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Venkatesh

Compiler error "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement" not found in class com.ora

Compiler error "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement" not found in class com.oracle.demos......?
I am currently testing a simple sample application with a java code similar to the one shown at
the bottom of this post.
However during deployment/compilation the compiler gives an error:
Error(26,23): XMLElement not found in class com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.ApproveImpl
Additionally similar other errors appear:
Error(23,66): JAXBException not found in class com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.ObjectFactory
Error(51,58): UnmarshalException not found in class com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.ObjectFactory
Error(9,92): Element not found in interface com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.Approve
What's wrong?
It seems to me that I have to add some (more) *.jar files/libraries to the project?
Which *.jars and where should I add them in JDeveloper?
source code:
package com.oracle.demos.orderbooking;
public class ApproveImpl extends com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.ApproveTypeImpl implements com.oracle.demos.orderbooking.Approve
public ApproveImpl(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement node)
super(node);
}

Where are classes for oracle.xml.parser.v2?

I have downloaded both V1 and V2 of the XML parser. I have managed to download the java classes under org.w3c.dom from www.w3.org but I can't find the classes under oracle.xml.parser.v2 (or without v2) anyway on technet. Both are required for import.
I would have expected them to be in the ZIP files xmlparser_v1_0_2_0.zip and xmlparser_v2_0_2_7.zip but they don't seem to be. These contain the equivalent HTML files but not the class files themselves, so compiling the samples is not possible.
Any help would be appreciated as this is becoming very frustrating.
Thanks in advance
Gary

Weaknesses I've come across in the Oracle XML/XSL implementation

Weaknesses I've come across in the Oracle XML/XSL implementation
NOTE: I think Oracle is a fantastic database and the XML implementation is lovely to use - also I know these are not limited to XE and also that some are fixed in 11g enterprise however I'm not sure if all are so I am posting here in the hope that Oracle will include fixes for all if any have been missed
1. getclobval() returns a spurious carriage return on end of the value returned
2. extract does not handle mixed content tags well (for example it simply discards tags that only have whitespace between them
3. XSL: using a xsl:number level="multiple" with anything beyond a simple count= xpath value crashes the database completely
4. XSL: insists on pretty printing output XML which is extremely odd behaviour and causes problems when dealing with mixed content

Another weakness I've seen is with the appendchildxml function and mixed content xml - it appears to likewise pretty print XML causing the injection of carriage returns and whitespace into mixed content nodes

Oracle XML DOM parser - attribute values are not printing on the screen ??

Hi Everyone,
I am just trying to use oracle DOM parser to paerse one of my xml file, java file can be compiled and run agianst a xml file, But I cannot see any attribute values printing on the screen..
Appreciate if anyone can help, where I have gone wrong please?
Below is the java file:

// Must pass in the name of the XML file...
System.err.println("Usage: java DOMSample filename");
System.exit(1);
// Get an instance of the parser

Hi Chandanal,
I edited your code slightly and I was able to get the correct output.
I changed the following line:
for (int j=0; j >< len; j++)to:
for (int j=0; j < len; j++)I have included the complete source below:

I was able to correct the error. The data contained an '&' sign and that was causing the xml parser to fail with the above error. If the & is replaced by a different character other than & then this error does not occur.

Oracle Open interface- Error in Item Import (INCOIN)

Hi,
I am migrating items to oracle using oracle open interface.
I am getting the follwing errors.
1. The TEMPLATE_ID or TEMPLATE_NAME specified is not valid for this Organization
2. The revision entered is for an item that does not exist in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS nor MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE (No Revision Is Used)
3. Expense Account is required when Inventory Asset Value is "No" and Inventory Item is "Yes"
4. Item number is invalid.
EBS: 11.5.10
The Migratin was working fine in the previous instance. Pls let me know if you have any information on this.
Thanks
AM

Unable to load Oracle XML SQL utility

The following error appears for each java
class, when we attempt to load Oracle XML sql
utility into Oracle using the oraclexmlsqlload
script:
E.g.
Error while resolving class OracleXMLStore
ORA-00904: invalid column name
Does anyone know why we would receive this error?
Platform: Hp-UX 11.0
Oracle Version: 8.1.5.0
Background information:
The database was original created with the
compatible=8.0.5 set in the init.ora file, and
the creatation of java classes failed due to this,
so switched compatible to 8.1.0. Now after we
we adjusted the compatible setting and restarted
database, we started to receive the errors as
described above.

Murali,
Thank you, after I initialized Oracle's javavm
the errors disappeared.
The scripts were located under the javavm/install
directory.
Thanks again.
