Parsing the XML on the client

Hi ,
we are on 10g. The db is on unix and client is windows.
we have to accept the xml file name in the oracle form, parse it and store it in the db. All should happen on the client as the user is not very comfortable with the FTP solution. All the examples I have seen, need the xml file to be on the server.
Any idea how to achieve this?
TIA

Using Webutil you can read the File line by line.
Hope this helps to find a solution

  • How to parse the result xml string in BPEL

    Hi,
    This is Ishmayel.v new to BPEL and hava experience in xml parsing, java and webservices.
    Now I am getting the XML file as a result string in BEPL.
    now I want to parse the XML string and insert into the database... If any one has the idea let me know.
    my email id is [email protected]
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards,
    Ishmayel.

    Your question is not clear.
    You have a client applicaton which invokes a BPEL process and receives XML response from BPEL. Then you want to parse this response XML in your client application?
    Or you are running a BPEL process which invokes a service and receives an XML response. Then you want to parse this XML response in BPEL before your process can proceed?
    I have to assume that you are working with a string and then you want to convert the string into XML, and then parse the XML. If this is the case, then take a look at the ora:parseEscapedXML(contentString) function. You can use this in the expression editor in JDev.

  • How can I take the part that parses the .XML file and make it a procedure.

    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY XMLSTUD6 AS
    Author: Jimmy Harris
    Created: 5/25/2006
    Purpose: 1.This package has an XML file initialized to a variable called DOC .
              2.It will then take the values from the XML file and insert them into a PL/SQL table.
              3.From the PL/SQL table it will insert values into the STUDENTS table.
              4.After step four above, the STUDLOAD procedure will insert (Sequence,Status, .XML file, USER, SYSDATE, ERROR_Message
                             into the AUDIT_XMLSTUD table regardless if insert status was successfull or not status is indicated by either an Y or
              NO and the original XML filed that was currently processed, the date and user who executed the procedure.
              If the status was NO then it will insert the Oracle SQLERRM massage, into the REASON_FOR_ERROR column.
                             If status is Y then REASOK_FOR_ERROR IS NULL.
                             5,Make sure you embed the xml file with an inner and outer ' ' ie: ' the whole .xml file string ' as the input
                             parameter into the STUDLOAD procedure.
    This package excepts the whole .XML file as a CLOB as an input parameter, so that the end-user will not have
                                  modify the code.      
    Modification History:     1.6/09/2006 JImmy Harris Modified code, added the Function "WORD_CONVERTER1" to accept the requested text data and
    return a coded value back to our Welligent system.     
                                  2. Was advised that a front end type of functionality was not neccesary for this issue so I removed the INSERT_XML_FILE,
                                  UPDATE_XML_FILE and the INSERT_XML_file.

    Try opening the problem files using a text editor or file viewer to see what the first few bytes contain. All valid FM binary files for FM 11 will contain <MakerFile 11.0> in the first bytes of the file.
    When updating books, it's sometimes better to just to create a new book file and add the files to that.
    When renaming files in a book, changes at the system level will break any links/cross-references between files, so it's always best to use the Rename option in the Book file to change FM file names. This will maintain the correct linkages.

  • 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 <!-- and -->)
    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:
    <!-- valid.dtd -->
    <!ELEMENT valid ( B, C ) >
    <!-- valid represents the concept "Identificagco" -->
    <!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.

  • How to parse an XMl without using prefix in the namespace and elements?

    Hi
    The following is a sample of the xml that I need to parse.
    Without the prefix in the namespace section I am getting an error but when i just put in the prefix it works fine. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
    I think i need to change something in the parser set up...may be the somewhere in the bolded lines....but i am clueless...
    //Xml begins
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

    Errors thrown by Oracle always show a line number (even if it points to the FOR loop that the error occurred within). When you run it, what is the error stack that is being returned. Copy and paste that, don't summarize it.
    If you are still uncertain, add a final
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN
         dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE);to have it written out where your normal dbms_output goes. This is your friend in 10g for tracking down errors.
    "But as soon as i add a prefix in the header everything works fine."
    Is that header in the sample XML you provided? Regardless what are you adding? Your data is a clob so you can always tweak it before converting it to a DOMDocument just by doing simple string manipulation.
    Since you are in 10g, you should be using dbms_xmldom instead of xmldom. I think xmldom is just a synonym for dbms_xmldom though. Review the dbms_xmldom documentation. You can go straight from a clob to a DOMDocument via DBMS_XMLDOM.NEWDOMDOCUMENT. You can also parse the document completely using dbms_xmldom calls instead of xslprocessor calls.
    Other random things to evaluate:
    Consider turning
             FOR each_FC IN t_tab_FC.first .. t_tab_FC.last LOOP
                INSERT INTO FileControl
    into a
             FORALL i IN t_tab_FC.first .. t_tab_FC.last LOOP
                INSERT INTO FileControl
                 ...Better performance because one two context switches (PL/SQL -> SQL -> PL/SQL) instead of 2*n switches.
    I like this construct better
       TYPE tab_type IS TABLE OF FileControl%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
       t_tab_FC tab_type := tab_type;because then you don't have to       t_tab_FC.extend;you can just do something like     index := 1;
         LOOP
            t_tab_FC(index).creation_date := <whatever>;
            index := index + 1;
         END LOOPYou also have the option of parsing your XML as a XMLType, including purely in SQL, but you can research that avenue at a later date.
    Forgot to mention, wrap any code examples in [ pre ] [ pre ] (without the spaces) to retain your formatting.

  • Parsing the xml with out dom parser in Oracle10g

    Hi,
    I need to parse the xml and create new xml with out any parsers in oracle 10g.Please help me how to do this one.

    Parsing without a parser eh? Could be tricky. Maybe if you go to the XML DB forum and explain your problem over there someone can help you...
    XML DB forum FAQ:
    XML DB FAQ

  • Ignoring the DOCTYPE element while parsing the xml

    I am using JAXB parser to read from and write into my xml file using java code. My xml file contains a DOCTYPE element pointing to a .dtd file which does not exist, due to which I get a FileNotFoundException when JAXB tries to read the xml file. Hence, after unmarshalling the xml file using jaxb, I use a SAXParser to get an XMLReader which removes this DOCTYPE element as given below -
    SAXParserFactory parserFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
    parserFactory.setValidating(false);
    XMLReader reader = parserFactory.newSAXParser().getXMLReader();
    reader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);
    After making the required changes to the xml file and marshalling it back, I then use an XMLWriter to add the DOCTYPE element back to the xml file as given in the code snippet below -
    SAXReader saxReader = new SAXReader();
    Document document = saxReader.read(_file);
    document.addDocType(rootElement, publicUri, systemUri);
    XMLWriter output = new XMLWriter(new FileWriter( _file ));
    output.write( document );
    output.close();
    Right now I am using both, the JAXB parser to read from and write into the xml file and SAXParser/SAXRader just to delete/add the DOCTYPE element. I want to avoid using two different parsers in my class and want to know if JAXB provides any mechanism to delete and then add this element while parsing the xml file.

    Standard answer for this FAQ: set an EntityResolver on your parser that sends an empty string instead of the DTD. The API docs have an example that you could modify to do that.

  • Parsing the data from and xml type field

    Hi - I have registered a schema and inserted arecord into the table with the xml type column. Now I want to parse the data from the xmltype field into a relational table. I have been using the following select statement to accomplish this - and it does work if there is data in all the selected fields but when the filed is null then the whole select statement fails and brings back 'no rows returned'.If the value is null I want the select statment to return null. please give any ideas.
    SELECT version,frmd_transaction_date,extractValue(value(b), 'event_update/location')"location",
    extractValue(value(b), 'event_update/sending_system')"sending_system",
    extractValue(value(b), 'event_update/event_identifier')"event_identifier",
    extractValue(value(b), 'event_update/event_link')"event_link",
    extractValue(value(b), 'event_update/organization_code')"organization_code",
    nvl(extractValue(value(c), '/schedule/event_duration_minutes'),'000')"event_minutes"
    FROM fraamed_user.frmd_event_update , TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(xml_event_update, '/event_update')))b,
    TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(xml_event_update, '/event_update/schedule')))c

    ...then I guess you have to rewrite the query.
    Is schedule another xml sequence inside of event_update sequence ?
    If it is not you can try this :
    SELECT version,frmd_transaction_date,extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/location/text()')"location",
    extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/sending_system/text()')"sending_system",
    extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/event_identifier/text()')"event_identifier",
    extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/event_link/text()')"event_link",
    extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/organization_code/text()')"organization_code",
    extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/schedule/event_duration_minutes/text()')"event_minutes"
    FROM fraamed_user.frmd_event_update , TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(xml_event_update, '/event_update')))b
    ...if yes, did you try nvl function (I don't think this would be a solution of a problem):
    SELECT version,frmd_transaction_date,nvl(extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/location/text()')"location", 'NULL VALUE'),
    nvl(extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/sending_system/text()')"sending_system",'NULL VALUE'),
    nvl(extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/event_identifier/text()')"event_identifier",'NULL VALUE'),
    nvl(extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/event_link/text()')"event_link",'NULL VALUE'),
    nvl(extractValue(value(b), '/event_update/organization_code/text()')"organization_code",'NULL VALUE'),
    nvl(extractValue(value(c), '/schedule/event_duration_minutes/text()')"event_minutes",'NULL VALUE')
    FROM fraamed_user.frmd_event_update , TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(xml_event_update, '/event_update')))b,
    TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(xml_event_update, '/event_update/schedule')))c
    If none of this works post your xml schema.

  • Code to parse the XML stored in a XMLTYPE field in database

    Hi All,
    Please can someone forward me the code to parse the XML retrieved from the oracle database. I want to parse the whole xml, any node any attribute and store the extracted values in database. For example:
    <mail>
    <mailing_list name="test1">
    <mailing_list_users>
    <user email="[email protected]" address="abcd" />
    <user email="[email protected]" address="abcdef" />
    </mailing_list_users>
    </mailing_list>
    <mailing_list name="test2">
    <mailing_list_users>
    <user email="[email protected]" address="abcd1" />
    <user email="[email protected]" address="abcdef1" />
    </mailing_list_users>
    </mailing_list>
    </mail>
    In this example, i want to loop thru all the mailing lists to extract therir values and under each mailing lists i want to loop thru all the users and their details.
    I require this urgently. Any help will be appreciated.

  • Parsing the large XML ( 1GB) using SAX PARSER

    We have very large XMLs being generated by processes. These XMLs should be validated first and then parsed next. We have implementation that works for small files. My question is
    how can we validate and parse large XMLs with SAX parser?

    The same way as parsing a small XML file, no? Why don't you try it? Then if you have problems that you can't solve, ask about them here.

  • Which is the best way to parse nested XML

    Hello, I am just getting back into using ColdFusion and I am
    working on a project that needs to parse some XML.
    The XML is generated by a third party document.
    I figured out how to grab individual values and such, but I'm
    not sure what is the best way to grab a value in relation to where
    it is in the XML.
    Following is a rather simplified example of the XML
    I need to grab the value of 'Rich Text' in relation to the
    'ID name' value.
    &lt;project&gt;
    &lt;CT text&gt;
    &lt;Group&gt;
    &lt;id name = text1&gt;
    &lt;Rich Text&gt;some sample text&lt;/Rich
    Text&gt;
    &lt;/id&gt;
    &lt;/Group&gt;
    &lt;/CT Text&gt;
    &lt;CT text&gt;
    &lt;Group&gt;
    &lt;Group&gt;
    &lt;id name = text1&gt;
    &lt;Rich Text&gt;some sample text&lt;/Rich
    Text&gt;
    &lt;/id&gt;
    &lt;/Group&gt;
    &lt;/Group&gt;
    &lt;/CT Text&gt;
    &lt;CT text&gt;
    &lt;id name = text2&gt;
    &lt;Rich Text&gt;some more sample text&lt;/Rich
    Text&gt;
    &lt;/id&gt;
    &lt;/CT Text&gt;
    &lt;/project&gt;
    Once parsed, the info I need to output on the page would look
    like
    text 1
    some sample text
    text 2
    some more sample text
    The part that makes this difficult for me is that there may
    be 0 'Group' values or there might be a number of them. As such, I
    can't just grab the value by listing the tree out, since it changes
    depending on the document (there are thousands of these documents
    that I need to parse).
    From what I have seen in some XML examples, there are a
    number of ways to go about doing this, but before I put a lot of
    time into any of them, I was wondering what the 'best' way to do
    this is.
    XSLT? XMLSearch? Structures? Some combination of those or
    other functions?
    P.S. what little I know of using ColdFusion with XML all
    comes from the doc written by Nate Weiss.
    I was a bit let down that after spending well over $1,000 for
    ColdFusion, Adobe left out the only two books that were worth
    printing (the CFML reference guide and the Advanced book). It
    wouldn't have bothered me as much if there was something on the
    product page listing the manuals that said 'we only actually give
    you 2 of the ones listed'.
    Best regards

    Hello,
    Could someone do me a huge favor and provide some sample code
    that would parse/output the above xml so that the output would look
    something like the following. . .
    text 1 = some sample text
    text 2 = some more sample text
    The problem I am having is displaying the xmltext for the
    RICH TEXT element in relation to the ID element.
    The code below will return the value of the RICHTEXT
    (incorrectly named in the original XML examples) easily enough, but
    I need to have it show which text number it is.
    Best regards,
    Kevin R.

  • How do I get an XML file on the client side hard drive

    Is there a way to get XML files from a Flex form and get it
    to the hard drive on the client side? I realize Microsoft got
    impaled by allowing this sort of thing with ActiveX. We would like
    the app to be browser based but need XML files dropped off on the
    hard drive. There is an application running locally that needs to
    consume them. Can I run flex standalone without web services and
    still access the hard drive? Seems robust enough to do so.

    Hi Simcah, I have a similar problem. Have you found out any solution?
    thanks, dan
    You need to ask the printing service provider. Dealing with color totally depends on the printing process involved and of course the machines used.
