PL/SQL to generate XML compliant with an XSD

Please excuse me if this has been asked elsewhere. I'm trying on Oracle 9.2 to output XML that will comply with a predefined schema. I've started out by creating various object types and an object view that matches the xml schema definition, and can use dbms_xmlgen.getxml to get out an xml document (a clob) without trouble, BUT I need to post-process this with shell scripts to add on the namespace information and amend the tags to put in the (e.g.) ns3: bit to identify which is the target namespace. It seems odd that I should need to do this - is there a better way? I have trawled all over rthe place but cannot find any mention of this requirement. Thanks for any help you might give me, I'm new to xml.

Okay forget that, here's a quote from Oracle:
"I'm the PM for XML DB, and our preferred direction for generating XML from data stored in relational tables is the industry standard SQL/XML operators. DBMS_XMLGEN will continue to be supported but most of our development efforts in terms of performance / feature improvements willl be targetted at the SQL/XML operators (XMLELEMENT(), XMLATTRIBUTES(), XMLAGG(), XMLFOREST() etc). In general they have proven to be much more flexible and performant, and easier to use "
So it seems that the object-type/view route is dead in the water. Shame.

How to generate xml file with multiple nodes using sqlserver as database in SSIS..

Hi ,
I have to generate the xml file using multiple nodes by using ssis and database is sqlserver.
Can some one guide me on to perform this task using script task?

Why not use T-SQL for generating XML? You can use FOR XML for that

How to convert a dxf file to xml fifle with CAD.xsd

Hello~
I have generated a test vi by motion asistant, but I found that the VI can only input with xml format file.
My CAD files are all dxf format for kinds of models.
Therefore, I have to write a VI to convert dxf to xml.
How can I do that?Can anyone give me some suggestions?
I have searched forum and found Labview creates the xml file comply with CAD.xsd shema, but I don't know how to use that shema.
The tutorial is : http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3718#toc2
Please help me.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
According to the following document, it seems there must be some specific conversion done by motion assistant when generating LabVIEW code, in order to parse the DXF file into a XML which complies with a specific schema.
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3718/en/#toc5
I believe that Ann must have made some effort to study both file formats and to build a vi doing this conversion, yet I think this would so far be the best chance we can have.
The DXF file information is provided in the Ann's latest post, and the XML schema is located in the <Motion Assistant>\bin\mxwPlugins\XMLSchema\CAD.xsd.

Generating XML content with SAX including schema reference

Hi all, XML newbie question here.
I'm trying to generate an XML document from a certain file format using SAX, but I can't figure out how to get the generated XML document to include a schema reference.
Here's the code, it's taken from posts on this forum, so it should be familiar:
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(out);
        SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance();
        try {
            TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
            Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
            serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
            serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
            hd.setResult(streamResult);
            hd.startDocument();
            AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
            hd.startElement("http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com", "DTR_XML", "DTR_XML", atts);
            hd.endElement("http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com", "DTR_XML", "DTR_XML");
            hd.endDocument();
        } catch (SAXException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }Here's the output I get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<DTR_XML/>
And I'm looking for output like this (I think - basically I have this dtr_xml.xsd located at the root web directory on http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com and I want the generated XML file to reference that schema for validation when parsing):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<DTR_XML xmlns="http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com dtr_xml.xsd"/>

Yes, you've led me along the right track with the attributes stuff. Here's what I've got right now...
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(out);
        SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance();
        try {
            TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
            Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
            serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
            serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
            hd.setResult(streamResult);
            hd.startDocument();
            AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
            atts.addAttribute("", "xmlns", "xmlns", "CDATA", "http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com");
            atts.addAttribute("", "xsi", "xmlns:xsi", "CDATA", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
            atts.addAttribute("", "schemaLocation", "xsi:schemaLocation", "CDATA", "http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com dtr_xml.xsd");
            hd.startElement("", "DTR_XML", "DTR_XML", atts);
            hd.endElement("", "DTR_XML", "DTR_XML");
            hd.endDocument();
        } catch (SAXException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }This produces the output I wanted earlier...
As for the org.xml.sax.helpers.NamespaceSupport, I can't seem to find any documentation on using it anywhere, and the javadoc is cryptic to me. Maybe it's used internally in SAX for tracking namespaces or something like that.
Another interesting thing to me is that if I use the code you gave:
atts.addAttribute("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", "schemaLocation",
     "xsi:schemaLocation", "CDATA", "http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com dtr_xml.xsd");I don't see "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" anywhere in the output. Is SAX ignoring the namespace uri argument? It appears so. The javadoc states that the uri argument is "The Namespace URI, or the empty string if none is available or Namespace processing is not being performed." It would appear that Namespace processing is not being done... but I don't know how to turn it on.

Form2xml generate xml files with "??????????" for non-latin characters

i used form2xml in oracle 10 g suit to convert forms 5 .fmb to .xml . using the command:
frmf2xml.bat OVERWRITE=YES myform.fmb
The forms contains arabic character set, but the xml file is generated with character "????????? " , and the xml file is unusable
what can i do to keep arabic characters in the generated xml files.
Edit:
I run form2xml on windows xp SP3 with arabic support (codepage =1256)
The xml file is generated as UTF-8

I resolved the problem.
step1: search in the registry for every NLS_Lang key and modify its value to codepage 1256 using regedit
step2: in control panel-Region and Language , I modified language to be Arabic
Now every thing is good

retcode out number) as
/* create cursor to fetch the records*/
cursor c_emp is select empno,
ename,
deptno,
sal,
job
from emp;
begin
/* first line of xml data should be "<? xml version = "0.1"?>" */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<?xml version = "1.0" ?>');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<per_emp1>');
for c in c_emp loop
/* for each record create a group tag <gemp_name> at start */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<G_EMP_NAME>');
/*EMBEDD DATA BETWEEN XML TAGS */
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<empno>' || c.empno || '</empno>');
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<ename>' || c.ename || '</ename>');

end;
i run the procedure in the concurrent program with output mode as text and i got the xml tags as the out put. i have created the template using the data definition and registered them in the xml publisher administer but i am unable to get the out put when i run the concurrent request it is giving the message "AUTHENTICATION FAILED".
please help me to solve the problem and to get the desired output with desired template.
thanks in advance,
siddam

Hi Siddam,
Please post your query on BI Publisher forum.
There are number of folks who can resolve the issue u faced.
Please go through the bi publisher developers guide and then design the report.
I am not sure about the process ur following for report development...i think you have to create data defination and rtf layout and then attach it to oracle xml administrator responsibility.

Validating generated XML file with DTD

Hello all,
my requirement is to test the XML file with its DTD.
we are creating an XML file, before writing it on the application server , we need to test it with its DTD.
i found one method set_validating in the interface if_ixml_parser , for validating XML file, but not getting an idea how to use it, like how to link the DTD to XML etc.
if i try to use the above method am getting the following error:
Unable to retrieve the external entity 'd:\dtdfile.dtd'.
where 'd:\dtdfile.dtd' is the path of the DTD file included in the Doctype of the XML file.
Please help me to solve this.
Thx in advance.

Hello,
Did you find your answer ?
I know how to validate an XML file an internal DTD, but not an external one... If you know, can you pelase advice ?
If you didn't found yet, you need to use method get_reason() to get the description of the error.
best regards,
Gilles.

How to generate XML file based on XSD in SSIS

please provide step by step process to create xml based on XSD in SSIS

Hi hemasankar,
In SQL Server Integrated Services, we can generate XML Schema (XSD) file based on a XML file with XML Source Editor. If we want to generate XML file based on a XSD file, we can use Generate Sample XML feature in Visual Studio. For more details, please refer
to the following steps:
Click on "XML Schema Explorer" or 'Use the XML Schema Explorer...' to open XML Schema Explorer in Visual Studio.
If your Schema file is valid and you are having elements, right-click on element and click on "Generate Sample XML", this functionality generates XML file in temp folder and open ups in the XML Editor.
The following two document about how to generate XML file based on a XSD file are for your reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd489258.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/400016/Generate-Sample-XML-from-XSD
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Problem generating XML data file through XSD

Hello there,
I'm trying to generate an XML data file as per the below steps:
Making a normal schema in query transform.
Mapping desired source column into query schema.
Right click on query transform and generating XML schema (XSD) in my local system.
In object library XML file format adding the XSD with schema as a root element.
Creating target instance from object library XML file.
In target file specifying file creation path in my local system.
After performing above steps and executing the job getting below error.
Any help on this will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Jagari

I found some code looking at a similar issue - I don't know how to recover other data (in I guess) the rest of the HTML in the code. I need to find a better reference with details and examples.
I fixed it by changing:
ssDebug.trace(moreStuff.xliff.file.body.trans-unit); // - error
to:
ssDebug.trace(moreStuff.file.body['trans-unit']); //- no error
with expected output (no error):
<trans-unit id="001" resname="IDS_ZXP7_JAM_01">
<source>If, while you are printing, your printer stops, ...</source>
</trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="002" resname="IDS_ZXP7_JAM_02">
<source>look at the Operator Control Panel (OCP) for the fault description.</source>
</trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="003" resname="IDS_ZXP7_JAM_03">
<source>If the fault is a card jam, open and close the Print Cover (or Options Cover).</source>
</trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="004" resname="IDS_ZXP7_JAM_04">
<source>The printer will initialize and move the jammed card to the Reject Bin.</source>
</trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="005" resname="IDS_ZXP7_JAM_TITLE">
<source>Card Jam</source>

Generate xml-rpc request using xsd

Hi All,
I have one xsd file . I want to generate xml-rpc request file using this xsd file. If any body have any tools for that , can you please share this name with me. It's great help for me...
Thank You,
Pattanaik

That's an interesting question. I thought it would be obvious that xmlbeans or "normal" xml-rpc packages would handle this.
It turns out this doesn't seem to be true.
Are you saying that you're trying to pass an object to a method and you want to deserialize the object into a java object of a type that is defined via an XSD? If this is the case you can use xmlbeans to do the xsd<->java mapping, then use just about any xml-rpc service to do the actual RPC mechanism.
It's interesting that these two technologies haven't converged though...

XML Validation with multiple XSD files (referenced)

Hello,
I know that XML validation with version 7.1 is possible now. However I was provided with a set of XSD files that have references to each other and need to be placed in a hierachical file system order so that references can be resolved.
An element <xsl:include schemaLocation="../../baseSchemas/baseSchema.xsd" /> is used for example. How can I handle that for XSD validation in PI? Can I create the same folder structure or do I need to put all XSD files in one directory and change the import manually?
But most important question: Is it possible it all to use more than one XSD for schema validation?

Dear Florian,
I had encountered such case in a project.
I was given 3 files. One main file and 2 others called Schema1.xsd and Schema2.xsd.
This happens because your data type is not in single namespace, but is being referred across namespaces and software components.
I am assuming that you have read the How to Guide for XML validations on PI 7.1
Best way to do this quickly is as follows.
1. Enable XML validation at adapter engine in the sender agreement.
2. Post a message using HTTP post. (http://sappihttpclient.codeplex.com)
3. Check communication channel in runtime workbench. There will be an error saying which is missing at what path.
4. Create the path mentioned and place the file at that path.
5. Repeat steps 2,3,4 for all the files.
When you are done with this, you will get a proper validation error in case XML file is not correct. And remember to generate XSD from message type and not data type.
Regards,
Vikas

Generating XML File with Table data...

Hi All,
Bear with me, with my Oracle XML knowledge,,,
we have Oracle 8i ( Relaease 3) as our database, and managegement want to have XML type of Text file, with respect to data in the Customer Table. Expected XML tags would be the Column Names of the Table.
Table has three columns,, Name, Address, Telephone.
So desired XML file looks like below:
<Name>John Hunter</Name><Address> City Road, London</Address><Telephone>1223223</Telephone>
If I deceided to do this task using PL/SQL, how could I start it,,,, All comments are welcome, this is the first time that I am going to generate this type of file ,,,

Hi Chandana,
You can check out the DBMS_XMLQUERY package for this purpose. It provides XMLType functionality in Oracle 8i. You can access the documentation for the same at:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96612/d_xmlque.htm#ARPLS066
If you happen to have access to Oracle 9i, then you can use XMLType Views provided with XML DB for your requirement.
Thanks
