Path to the element in xml structure

Hi,
I have a input schema and I want to find out the exact path of one of the element of that schema. Schema uses some namespaces. I want the path of element which I can use in the inline xslt to reach upto that element.
XPATH of element(TDLINE) in my source schema is :
/*[local-name()='Receive' and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700/Receive']/*[local-name()='idocData' and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700/Receive']/*[local-name()='E2EDKT1002GRP'
and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Types/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700']/*[local-name()='E2EDKT2001' and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Types/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700']/*[local-name()='TDLINE' and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Types/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700']
Namespaces are:
xmlns:s1="http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700/Receive"
xmlns:s0="http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Types/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700"
I tried different possible paths such as:
s1:idocData/s0:E2EDKT1002GRP/E2EDKT2001/TDLINE
s1:idocData/s0:E2EDKT1002GRP/s0:E2EDKT2001/s0:TDLINE
Can someone help me findinng the exact path of TDLINE?
Thanks, Girish R. Patil.

The exact XPATH is what you wrote:
/*[local-name()='Receive' and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700/Receive']/*[local-name()='idocData'
and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700/Receive']/*[local-name()='E2EDKT1002GRP' and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Types/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700']/*[local-name()='E2EDKT2001' and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Types/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700']/*[local-name()='TDLINE'
and namespace-uri()='http://Microsoft.LobServices.Sap/2007/03/Types/Idoc/3/ORDERS05//700']
If you can use namespace-prefixes, it will be:
s1:Receive/s1:idocData/s0:E2EDKT1002GRP/s0:E2EDKT2001/s0:TDLINE
Both should work, but the latter will only work if you use an XPATH utility where the namespace-prefixes s0 and s1 has/can be declared.

How to add attribute to the elements in XML file in BPEL transformation

Hi All-
I have to create a XML file using transformation and file adapater and the parent element is USERRECORDS, now when I am creating the XML file using transformation the XML get creates like
<?xml version="1.0">
<USERRECORDS>
so on
But I want the parent element and the xml version tags as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<USERRECORDS xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="mySchema.xsd">

Is it possible in transformation?
Any idea, please suggest.

How do i convert the data to xml structure

Hi
I have a set of records. I need to create an xml document from that. Can you please let me know how can i proceed for this problem ?
TIA
Rajkumar.

OTN has a sample app, the XML Flight Finder, that demonstrates one approach using Oracle XSQL Servlet. Because it is built on the Oracle8i platform and leverages the Oracle XSQL Servlet, this sample application can submit SQL queries and define output formats using XML, XSL, and XSQL text files -- no Java programming is required, and there's no code to compile. The application is easy to build, customize, and maintain.
You can download documentation and source code from here: http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/xsql_servlet/files/ffhome.html

Absolute/Relative Path for elements in xml to rtf template.

Hi all,
I have a small doubt, can anyone help me come out of this issue.
I developed a BI Publisher Report using RTF Template and I am addressing XML elements which are out of the group in the XML file inside the for loop in the RTF template. I am able to get the body of the table but with all blank values on the output.
I thought to give the full path ie., Absolute path instead only the element name, can anyone suggest me how to address an element outside the group in XML file from a for loop in the RTF template. Is it possible to address like that.?
Thanks In advance.

Hi Tim,
I am using BIP 10.1.3.3.2. I am able to access system variable CURRENT_SERVER URL.
Steps:
<?param@begin:CURRENT_SERVER_URL?>
<xsl:value-of select="$ CURRENT_SERVER_URL"/>
CURRENT_SERVER_URL is getting printed in BI Publisher. Value displayed is http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/xmlpserver.
Now we are importing xsl into RTF template. File aaa.xsl is stored at [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app]
We have hardcoded the path for XSL in RTF. The path is <?import: http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/aaa.xsl?>
As we want to set dynamic path we changed hardcoded xsl path to <?import: {$CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/../aaa.xsl?> but it is not working. Sometimes BIP is taking local path of MyDocuments folder and sometimes Desktop path. If I put that XSL file in MyDocuments folder or Desktop, it is working fine. But ideally it should refer [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app] path...
Thanks,

   The SupportMatrix class provides static variables and methods to simplify
   the determination of whether or not a given attribute is supported for a
   certain object type (queue manager, channel, etc.), depending on the version
   and platform of the queue manager to which it belongs.
   The SupportMatrix class may not be instantiated. Its constructor is private.
   An instance of the class is created internally in the static initializer so
   that the XML parsing methods are available.
   A corresponding XML document, SupportMatrix.xml, is parsed to create the various
   HashMaps which contain the version/platform dependency information. A number of
   inner classes are used to represent the various elements of the XML matrix
   definition.
   Here's a sample document:
   
   <supportmatrix>
     
     <object classid="1">
       
       <version cmdlevel="base">
         
         <attr id="MQCA_Q_MGR_NAME">
           
           <support platforms="UNIX,WINDOWS,OS400,VMS,NSK" maxlen="48" type="MQCFST"/>
           <support platforms="MVS" maxlen="4" type="MQCFST"/>
         </attr>
         <attr id="MQCA_Q_MGR_DESC">
           
           <support platforms="all" maxlen="64" type="MQCFST"/>
         </attr>
         
         <attr id="MQIA_PLATFORM"/>
         <attr id="MQIA_COMMAND_LEVEL"/>
       </version>
       
       <version cmdlevel="520" include="base">
       </version>
     </object>
   </supportmatrix>
   The inner classes, and their hierarchical relationships are as follows:
     SupportObject - corresponds to the <object> element. Stored in a static HashMap, and
                     keyed by classid.
       VersionObject - corresponds to the <version> element. Stored in a HashMap instance
                       variable of the SupportObject class, keyed by cmdlevel.
         AttributeObject - corresponds to the <attr> element. Stored in a HashMap instance
                           variable of the VersionObject class, keyed by attribute name.
           PlatformObject - corresponds to the <support> element. Stored in HashMaps belonging
                            to the AttributeObjects, keyed by platform. A single PlatformObject
                            instance is created when the support tag is encountered. The
                            "platforms" attribute of the support element is then processed. For
                            each platform in the comma-delimited list, an entry is added to the
                            collection of PlatformObjects. This is to greatly simplify later
                            lookups.
   In order to support the 'include' feature of object and version elements, certain
   functions are recursive. If the attribute to be validated is not found for the passed
   cmdlevel, the 'parent' VersionObject is consulted by means of the 'include' value. If
   the chain of VersionObjects has been exhausted and the attribute in question has still not
   been located, the next SupportObject in the chain is consulted in a similar fashion.
public class SupportMatrix extends DefaultHandler {
    /** The objects collection holds all the SupportObjects, keyed by classid. */
    private static HashMap objects;

Are you the one who commented out the code you're looking for ?//String desc = StringFactory.getString(attributes.getValue("desc"));You just have to modify you AttributeObject class to hold a new field : String description. And then, it's up to you to create a new constructor or a new setter method.
Btw, this is not a Swing related question.

How can I get a file path element in XML to work in AI javascript?

Hi all - this is my first post. I'm pretty familiar with javascript, but I'm new to the Adobe scripting environment.
Our client wants Illustrator at startup to load a certain pattern swatch. It works fine when I hard code the pattern file path, but it needs to be user configurable, so I put the file path info in an XML file to be read in at startup. The XML file is read in and the elements are extracted into varibles. When I concatenate the variables to create the file path string and try to open the pattern file, it says file not found.
Here is my source code:
var fileObj = new File("aiConfig.xml");
fileObj.open("r:");
var xmlString = new XML(fileObj.read());
var driveLetter = xmlString.fullPathName.driveLetter.text();
var filePath = xmlString.fullPathName.filePath.text();
var fileName = xmlString.fullPathName.fileName.text();
var fullFilePath = driveLetter + filePath + fileName;
var styled_ai = app.open(new File(fullFilePath));
app.activeDocument = styled_ai;
Here is aiConfig.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<aiConfig>
<fullPathName>
     <driveLetter>C:</driveLetter>
     <filePath>/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS4/Presets/en_US/Swatches/Patterns/Decorative/</filePath>
     <fileName>Decorative_Modern.ai</fileName>
    </fullPathName>
</aiConfig>
Any help would be greatly appreciated - this is driving me a little crazy.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tomchag,
Your script works fine on MAC OS X & illustrator CS4.
i have change only pathway to aiConfig.xml like this:
var fileObj = new File("/Volumes/LaCie/aiConfig.xml"); //<- path of my external HDD should be D:/ on windows
and the contents in aiConfig.xml to :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<aiConfig>
<fullPathName>
     <driveLetter></driveLetter>
     <filePath>/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS4/Presets.localized/fr_FR/Nuancier/</filePath>
     <fileName>VisiBone2.ai</fileName>
    </fullPathName>
</aiConfig>
So.. i notice twice thing:
1) complete file and path for aiConfig.xml
2) i didn't use drive letter (but it's specific to windows)
I hope this post can help you

How do I get the real path of the xml file.
Edited by: shashiwagh on Jan 29, 2010 11:46 AM

Hi,
if your XML file is inside a package you can easily get it from the classloader.
Note that your application maybe packaged inside a jar so it is not safe to use java.io.File for this purpose.
You have an xml file in :
com/gts/xml/MyXML.xml
in a class of the same module (that will packaged in the same jar) for example com.gts.java.XmlLoader :
// To get the stream :
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/com/gts/xml/MyXML.xml");
// Or the URL :
URL xml = this.getClass().getResource("/com/gts/xml/MyXML.xml");Hope it helps.

Selecting the content of XML element CS3(JS)

Hi
I am trying to select the whole content of XML Element.
I am trying like this
app.activeDocument.xmlElements[i].select();
But it is not working.
Regards
Suresh

A few hints:
Perhaps your variable
i i
is not defined. If that's the case, give up trying to write code for this complicated job! XML is not the easiest part of ID to begin with. Starting with uninitialized variables and flagging that as an error (and complaining about that in a forum) is a beginners' blunder.
If I run your script line with i set to 0, the first element of my XML structure is selected. I can see with my own eyes it works, because I have the XML Structure pane in ID open. If I click on the 2nd element there and run your script line, the top (= 0th) element is selected. Perhaps you didn't open the XML Structure view so you did not see it worked after all. Or perhaps you expected something
i else
to be selected -- the text content, maybe -- so you tag it as "error". That's a misinterpretation of what the XmlElement object is. Understandable, but still not an error. You can have lots of XmlElements without any text or other object associated. If it was your intention to select whatever the xml element contains, try working with the property 'xmlContent'. From its description I gather that sort-of does this alternative interpretation, i.e., you can select the
i text
which is pointed to by the element. Untried. But do read on.
If I run your script with i = 1, I
i do
get an error, and it's perfectly valid too! "Object is invalid" -- well, of course it is. There is no other XML element at that level. An app.document.xmlelements entry always points to the
i root
of the XML, and you can only have one. Perhaps you expected #1 to be the next sub-element. Well, not so in the ID implementation -- as usual for almost all XML based structures, it's a tree. The "next" element is xmlElements[0].xmlElements[0], which you can check by changing your line to
>app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements[0].select();
and verifying the 2nd element from the top is selected in the XML Structure view.

Missing images - "XML structure element, not in layout"

I'm putting together handouts for several classes, which largely consists of copying and pasting text from Microsoft Word into InDesign CS5. Images I am placing manually. After re-organizing some of my files, one of my documents is now missing 118 links to images. However, none of these images are actually in my document - in the Links panel, each image says:
"XML structure element, not in layout"
Here's a screenshot of my links panel:
These images are not supposed to be in the document at all. Clicking "Go To Link" does nothing. Is it possible that copy and pasting text from Word could have also copied the images in the Word document as well, without actually placing them on the pages? They now seem to be stuck in some kind of InDesign limbo.
The only way I was able to get rid of them was to delete elements from the XML structure panel, however this deletes the content from my pages, which is not exactly helpful. Is there some way to just remove all of the missing image links from my document? Many thanks for any help!

I was able to solve my problem. After displaying the Structure panel, I apparently had tons and tons of XML elements in the XML structure that were not placed in the document. I've never even seen the Structure panel before so this is totally new to me. I was able to delete all of the XML elements that were not placed in my document by checking their icons.

How to extract the element name of an XML Document

This is how my xml file looks like:

</nsiData>
I want to extract the element name and the element value from this file. I was trying to do it this way:
SELECT datetime,
loc.aeci_value,
loc.eei_value
FROM temp_xmltype txml,
XMLTABLE ('/nsiData' PASSING xmldata) misolmp,
XMLTABLE ('/nsiData/instance' PASSING misolmp.object_value
COLUMNS
datetime VARCHAR2(100) PATH '/instance/@timestamp') misodt,
XMLTABLE ('/nsiData/instance' PASSING misolmp.object_value
COLUMNS
aeci_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH '/instance/AECI',
eei_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH '/instance/EEI') loc
WHERE txml.feed_id = 127
But doing it this way does not get me AECI as a column value. Is there any way to get the element name as a column value.
I am on 11gR2

The SQL statement you wrote returns 4 rows and there is only two AECI values in there. The corrected version of what you wrote should really be
SELECT loc.datetime,
       loc.aeci_value,
       loc.eei_value
FROM temp_xmltype txml,
       XMLTABLE ('/nsiData/instance' PASSING txml.xmldata
                 COLUMNS
                 datetime   VARCHAR2(100) PATH '@timestamp',
                 aeci_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'AECI',
                 eei_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'EEI') loc
WHERE txml.feed_id = 127;If you know the element name and want it returned as a column name, why not just hard code it in the SQL statement, such as
SELECT loc.datetime,
       'AECI' as AECI,
       loc.aeci_value,
       'EEI' AS EEI,
       loc.eei_value
FROM temp_xmltype txml,
       XMLTABLE ('/nsiData/instance' PASSING txml.xmldata
                 COLUMNS
                 datetime   VARCHAR2(100) PATH '@timestamp',
                 aeci_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'AECI',
                 eei_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'EEI') loc
WHERE txml.feed_id = 127;I suspect you are really looking for something like {message:id=9535532}
