Personalization Server And XML Parsers

hello there,
I am a new user of Weblogic commerce suite 2.0.
WE want to develop a portal by using above mentioned S/W. We want to get news from Reuters(which is XML data) and want to show it on our page. For this purpose do we need a XML parser or WLCS has in built support for this ????

You can mix CMP and BMP beans. You could deploy the various
personalization server related beans as bmp and then use CMP for the
components.

Hi,
What I would like to do is the deployment with MS SQL Server with cmp.
But I think it isn't possible because for the personalization server there isn't
the -bmp- version of the jars, if you check the weblogic-cmp.properties and
weblogic-bmp.properties for the personalization server are deployed the same
jars.
I've made some research and find out that the jars are the same and that the
beans of usermanagemet are always bmp.
Thanks.

XPAAJ and XML Parsers

Does anyone know which XML parser is used by default in the XPAAJ API's.
We are trying to compile an application into the Oracle Database. The solution then uses the internal Oracle JVM which strips out form data. However there appears to be a problem extracting xml data and we think its down to the Oracle XML parsers. Running the solution from the command line works as expected.
Anyone have any ideas?

In addition to what lk555 says, you have to specify the position of the node with reference to its other siblings to specifically point to the node you are referring to.
if you have the following structure:
<root>
<child/>
<child/>
<child/>
</root>
The third child is obtained by /child[3], instead of just /child. The value 3 specifies its position.
Hope this helps

Hi David,
Our developers and QA have run it in a clustered environment when we
certified the WLCS 2.0.1 release for clustering, but perhaps someone in the
field would like to share their experiences?

XPath and XML parsers

Hi,
Does any API's provided in the new Java XML pack provide a way to get the XPath value for a particular node in a XML document!!!
thanks in advance!!

In addition to what lk555 says, you have to specify the position of the node with reference to its other siblings to specifically point to the node you are referring to.
if you have the following structure:
<root>
<child/>

Experiences with Adobe XPAAJ, XML Parsers, OC4J /AS 10.1.2,10.1.3 and DB10g

Over the past couple of weeks we have been working on a solution which uses the newly available adobe XPAAJ api's (XML/PDF Access API for Java) for Java.
The client has a legacy requirement to where users are issued with a pdf form which they complete, save and upload to the server via a JSP. A neat bit of Java code utilizing the XPAAJ API's then strips out the form entered data and spits out XML. This is then parsed and inserted into relational tables within the schema.
Our solution needs to be deployed to an Oracle stack. However we ran into a number of problems when deploying the solution to AS 10.1.2. The adobe API's are not compatible with the Oracle XML Parsers. When extracting the form data, no error is reported and the code which performs the xml parsing just fails. Very nasty.
The main problem has been that Oracle XDK libraries have been hard-coded into the classpath of the container using the referential JAR file Class-Path mechanism. Altering this has required the use of the JRE extension library mechanism, or altering the boot classpath of the JVM when it is launched to load the alternative XML parser implementation instead. While this works, it has been an unsupported operation since the effect of this change is not limited to a specific application – it’s effect are felt across the entire container and this may lead to unpredictable results at runtime.
~http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/10131/how_to/how-to-swapxmlparser/doc/readme.html
We did look at a number of other solutions including embedding the java classes I'd written into the database. After loading the apache Xerces api's into our schema we hit upon the same problem. It seems that the same thing happens in the database and the Oracle XML parser is used by default.. Please see SR Number : 6153038.994 on Metalink.
If you can upgrade to AS 10.1.3 then you can follow the excellent how to at:http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/10131/how_to/how-to-swapxmlparser/doc/readme.html . Demo code can be found at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/10131/how_to/how-to-swapxmlparser/how-to-swapxmlparser.zip
The how-to details how to swap xml parsers within the application server.
Other possible solutions that are also available include:
- Shelling out to the OS from the DB or Apps Server, You can then execute the app as a command line app with a custom classpath. Very bad architecture design.
- Setting up an RMI client / server application where client is the db or apps server. You can find examples of this on the web. google 'Simple RMI example'.
- Bootstrapping the XML parser in AS 10.1.2 (unsupported).
I hope people have found this informative. It might save someone a lot of time.

"When I was installing SOA 10.1.3.1.0 on oracle 10.2.0.1 and it was giving error that it needs minimum 10.2.0.3, just wondering 10.1.2.0.2 + SOA =will this work?"
so you talk about the db version. SOA 10.1.3.x runs on 10.2.0.1 and above (I ran for the longest time on XE) and if I remember correctly that's a warning, and not a hard prereq.
Regarding Appserver versions - soa 10.1.3 runs on AS 10.1.3 only

Weblogic 12g Server - EAR with WAR - how can I have different XML parsers

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to have two different XML parsers in the same enterprise application.
By backend Spring container require a XML parser and my JSP code which has XSLT logic require another XML parser.
If I specify -D System property then it is applied to the whole Enterprise application. Instead I want a way to specify different XML parsers one for Spring backend container and the other for JSP pages.
I am deploying my application in Weblogic and it is an EAR file.
Thanks in Advance,

Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

Dear co.forumers :
We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
Has anyone had the same problem ?
Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.

How to login to a remote (FTP??) server and read an XML file?

Hello all,
I would like some information on how to login to a remote server using a Java program.
The server might be a ftp server, because the client will ftp a xml file to this server, and the java program needs to login to this server and read the xml file, then convert it into a general report with headings and data from the xml file.
How can I quickly find the API information to login to a server and read an xml file?
If anyone knows the packages off the top of their heads, that would save me some time surfing.
If anyone can provide me some links, code examples, or information I'd greatly be thankful.
sharla

You can also just use plain java.net. It supports FTP. Example:URL u = new URL("ftp://user:passwd@server/path/to/file.xml");
InputStream in = u.openStream();
// do what you want ...

Starting Commerce Server and Personalization Server

I am trying to evaluate these products. I am running NT 4.0, SP5 with
256MB RAM. I have installed Weblogic Server 5.1.0 with SP 6. I have
installed the latest version of the Commerce Server and Personalization
Server. I had to remove the -server switch from the java command line in
the startup script in order to get the JVM to start. The Commerce server
begins to initialize, then a bunch of exceptions are thrown, then it
shuts itself down.
I have attached the log file
WeblogicCommerceServer3.2\server\weblogic.log
Thanks for any help on this.
[weblogic.log]

The error in your weblogic.log file of:

not be compatible with the WebLogic Commerce Server implementation. Minimum Build:
83914 Current Installation Build: 66825"

means that WLCS cannot find the correct service pack files for WLS 5.10. Might check
to see if the WLS 5.10 SP6 files (weblogic510sp6.jar and weblogic510s6boot.jar) are
located in d:\weblogic\lib.

WLS Plugin and the Commerce/Personalization Server

Hi,
Just wondering if the plugin which controls loads balancing can be used with
the Commerce/Personalization server ?
I have tried it ,but the way the portals works, the IIS server have no file
extensions to work with as a portal address is http://ip:port/portalname".
It doesn't have a file extension obviously, so the IIS box can invoke the
plugin.
Just wondering if anybody else has tried to get it working or it the plugin
merely designed to work with the 5.1 WLS server ?
Cheers
Mick

ParserConfigurationException with javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory

Like many people, I am trying to just read in the contents of a XML file. My code compiles in WS studio and I publish it to the server. However, I keep getting a ParserConfigurationException when I try to get a DocumentBuilder from the factory. Below is my code:
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse( new File(XMLFILE) );
Any idea why?

The xmlfile is valid and here is the partial stacktrace
