Post xml document

pretty new to java. How can I post an XML document to the server? I want to do some sort of HTTP Request from a managed bean. Can't find anything on this. Isn't there some sort of HTTP Request in the base Java libraries?
General flow of what I'm attempting:
JSP entry of data
managed bean controller gets data entered into entity class
XMLencoder used to create string of xml representing entity data.
need to send that XML to an .ASP page (yes, .ASP page because need to call pre existing com component).
would rather not send this as a string, but rather as an XML in the body of the request. Not sure if any opf this makes sense, but trolling through the endless returns of a google search has me wasting away my last 2 days of work. Thanks for any info provided.

Not sure if I understood you question right!! Are you trying to upload an XML document to the server? Or are you looking for AJAX to deal with XMLHttpRequest and XMLHttpResponse?

No posted XML document?

I tried pass parameter to my stylesheet.
but I have gotted error message.(No posted XML document)
Where is problem my code?
please, let me know.
Here, my xsql file :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="sfa" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:include-request-params xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql"/>
<xsql:update-request table="customer" transform="request-to-i_cust_info.xsl"
key-columns="cust_no"
columns="store_nm"/>
</page>
and my stylesheet :
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xsl:version="1.0">
<xsl:for-each select="/request/parameters">
<ROW>
<CUST_NO><xsl:value-of select="cust_no"/></CUST_NO>
<STORE_NM><xsl:value-of select="cust_nm"/></STORE_NM>
</ROW>
</xsl:for-each>
</ROWSET>
I can see the response like bellow
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <page>
- <request>
- <parameters>
<cust_no>test</cust_no>
<cust_nm>store</cust_nm>
</parameters>
<session />
<cookies />
</request>
<xsql-status action="xsql:update-request" result="No posted document to process" />
</page>
null

It seems that you <request> element will be under the <page> element.
Can you try "/page/request/parameters"?
Or can you check/show the XML result of the XSQL page without the XSLT transformation?
null

XSQL: How to embed the XML document(s) instead of posting?

Dear all.
I'm trying to use XSQL for a self-contained database schema setup. This setup should be able to handle DML (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE), PL/SQL calls etc and I thought XSQL looks perfect for the job. As such, I wouldn't be using XSQL as a publishing framework but as kind of an ETL tool. The only output I would be interested in would be the xsql-status in order to check that the number of rows processed matches my expectations. I would prefer XSQL to run entirely within the database and not depend on any servlet container.
However, it seems that XSQL's only way of obtaining the canonical XML (ROWSET/ROW) that is used by xsql:insert-request/xsql:update-request/xsql:delete-request is through HTTP POST/GET. It doesn't seem that it's possible to embed the XML directly in the page, nor does it seem possible to handle more than one XML.
I'm trying to achieve something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="scott" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsq">
<xsql:insert-request table="DEPT">
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-10</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 1</DNAME>
<LOC>COPENHAGEN</LOC>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-20</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 2</DNAME>
<LOC>LONDON</LOC>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</xsql:insert-request>
<xsql:insert-request table="EMP">
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>-10</EMPNO>
<ENAME>NEW EMP 1</ENAME>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>-20</EMPNO>
<ENAME>NEW EMP 2</ENAME>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</xsql:insert-request>
</page>
or perhaps
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="scott" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsq">
<request>
<parameters>
<dept>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-10</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 1</DNAME>
<LOC>COPENHAGEN</LOC>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DEPTNO>-20</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>NEW DEPT 2</DNAME>
<LOC>LONDON</LOC>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</dept>
</parameters>
</request>
<xsql:insert-request table="DEPT" param="dept"/>
<xsql:insert-request table="EMP" param="emp"/>
</page>
I need both INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE so xsql:insert-param isn't enough, would also need an xsql:update-param and xsql:delete-param.
A way of referring to the canonical XML through an URI or XPath expression (referring to a registered XML document in the database) would also be cool.
Perhaps implementing custom action handlers would work but not sure whether they'll be able to refer to any child XML elements within them? Furthermore, the syntax for these would also be slightly inconvenient:
<xsql:action handler=com.ellebaek-consulting.xsql.InsertActionHandler" table="DEPT">
My alternative would be to re-implement an extended version of XSQL (XSQLX :-)?) but I'm trying to avoid that.
Any pointers and ideas are very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Finn Ellebaek Nielsen

Hi.
Thanks for your reply but the article only talks about how to query data with XSQL and I need to INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE data embedded in XSQL pages into the database so I'm afraid that the article doesn't apply.
Cheers

How to send a XML document using HTTPurlconnection as a post

Dear Guru's ,
I am trying ot send a xml document to a httpserver
using httpurl connection ..
It works fine locally ..but over the net it is throwning an exception ..java.io.interupted exception ..
any ideas .. please send me the code if possible
Thanks in advance

Are you opening the input stream or querying the reply headers after writing to the output stream? It's doing one or the other that actually triggers the send.

Performance issues with FDK in large XML documents

In my current project with FrameMaker 8 I'm experiencing severe performance issues with some FDK API calls.
The documents are about 3-8 MBytes in size. Fortmatted they cover 150-250 pages.
When importing such an XML document I do some extensive "post-processing" using FDK. This processing happens in Sr_EventHandler() during the SR_EVT_END_READER event. I noticed that some FDK functions calls which modify the document's structure, like F_ApiSetAttribute() or F_ApiNewElementInHierarchy(), take several seconds, for the larger documents even minutes, to complete one single function call. I tried to move some of these calls to earlier events, mostly to SR_EVT_END_ELEM. There the calls work without a delay. Unfortunately I can't rewrite the FDK client to move all the calls that are lagging to earlier events.
Does anybody have a clue why such delays happen, and possibly can make a suggestion, how to solve this issue? Thank you in advance.
PS: I already thought of splitting such a document in smaller pieces by using the FrameMaker book function. But I don't think, the structure of the documents will permit such an automatic split, and it definitely isn't an option to change the document structure (the project is about migrating documents from Interleaf to XML with the constraint of keeping the document layout identical).

FP_ApplyFormatRules sounds really good--I'll give it a try on Monday. Wonder how I could miss it, as I already tried FP_Reformatting and FP_Displaying at no avail?! By the way, what is actually meant with FP_Reformatting (when I used it I assumed it would do exactly what FP_ApplyFormatRules sounds to do), or is that one another of Lynne's well-kept secrets?
Thank's for all the helpful suggestions, guys. On Friday I already had my first improvements in a test version of my client: I did some (not all necessary) structural changes using XSLT pre-processing, and processing went down from 8 hours(!) to 1 hour--Yeappie! I was also playing with the idea of writing a wrapper to F_ApiNewElementInHierarchy() which actually pastes an appropriate element created in a small flow on the reference pages at the intended insertion location. But now, with FP_ApplyFormatRules on the horizon, I'm quite confident to get even the complicated stuff under control, which cannot be handled by the XSLT pre-processing, as it is based on the actual formatting of the document at run-time and cannot be anticipated in pre-processing.

Parse and output XML document while preserving attribute order

QUESTION: How can I take in an element with attributes from an XML and output the same element and attributes while preserving the order of those attributes?
The following code will parse and XML document and generate (practically) unchanged output. However, all attributes are ordered a-z
Example: The following element
<work_item_type work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_type_code="3" user_tag_ident="Step" name="Work Step" gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" rstat_type_code="1">
</work_item_type>is output as:
<work_item_type gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" name="Work Step" rstat_type_code="1" user_tag_ident="Step" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_type_code="3">
</work_item_type>As you may notice, there is no difference in these besides order of the attributes!
I am convened that the problem is not in the stylesheet.xslt but if you are not then it is posted bellow.
Please, someone help me out with this! I have a feeling the solution is simple
The following take the XML from source.xml and outputs it to DEST_filename with attributes in a-z order
Code:
private void OutputFile(String DEST_filename, String style_filename){
     //StreamSource stylesheet = new StreamSource(style_filename);
     try{
          File dest_file = new File(DEST_filename);
          if(!dest_file.exists())
              dest_file.createNewFile();
          TransformerFactory tranFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          Transformer aTransformer = tranFactory.newTransformer();
          aTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
          Source src = new DOMSource("source.xml");
          Result dest = new StreamResult(dest_file);
          aTransformer.transform(src, dest);
          System.out.println("Finished");
     catch(Exception e){
          System.err.print(e);
          System.exit(-1);
    }

You can't. The reason is, the XML Recommendation explicitly says the order of attributes is not significant. Therefore conforming XML serializers won't treat it as if it were significant.
If you have an environment where you think that the order of attributes is significant, your first step should be to reconsider. Possibly it isn't really significant and you are over-reaching in some way. Or possibly someone writing requirements is ignorant of this fact and the requirement can be discarded.
Or possibly your output is being given to somebody else who has a defective parser which expects the attributes to be in a particular order. You could quote the XML Recommendation to those people but often XML bozos are resistant to change. If you're stuck writing for that parser then you'll have to apply some non-XML processing to your output to fix it up on their behalf.

Error: No valid XML document received*_

Hi All,
We are connecting our CCMS system to NetWeaver J2EE engine on which E-Sourcing is running.
For this we registered java component and hosts in cen.
But we are getting error as : No valid XML document received
Please can anyone tell me how to overcome this error.
Thank you .

Hi,
Please re-read the answer from Marc carefully. He was in the exact same situation as yours:
- Monitored system: NW CE 7.1
- CEN: NW 7.01 (same as NW 7.0 EhP1)
The link you posted is for CEN with NW 7.3 and monitored systems from NW 7.02 (and up). Read the paragraph below the Caution sign:
If you want to centrally monitor any system with a central monitoring system with release SAP NetWeaver 7.0, this procedure is not applicable. In this case, follow the procedure described in the newest Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 instead. You can obtain the Monitoring Setup Guide at the Internet address service.sap.com/operationsnw70 in the Monitoring area.
You should look for (and follow) the right Monitoring Setup Guide as mentioned.

Can't get the DOM to output XML document tags in correct order.

I'm trying to output an XML document from the DOM using the DOMWriter class: new DOMWriter(document, filename, outputEncoding, encodingTag, getDocTypeString());
It refuses to output the tags in the correct order so my document always fails validation when it is read back in. I've tried explicitly placing the elements in the correct order into the DOM and it still outputs them the way it wants to. Is there some method I'm missing to set the xsd or dtd to validate the output on. It actually appears as though it has a definite idea as to what order the tags should be output, because no matter what order I append the nodes into the document, it always outputs them in the same incorrect order. I've got the validation working when it reads the document in. Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to output the tags in the correct order?

Does anyone know what I
have to do to get it to output the tags in the correct
order?You have to build the DOM in the correct way. Based on the code you posted it's impossible to tell what you are doing wrong. How about posting some code?

Append XML elements with same name in an XML document

Hi,
I am using Oracle9i XMLDB utilities to modify an XML document stored in the database. I have a sample XML document like this in the database:
<Person>
<Address ID="1"> </Address>
</Person>
My task is to include a second <Address> element with a different attribute so that my XML document will become
<Person>
<Address ID="1"> </Address>
<Address ID="2"> </Address>
</Person>
After creating the second element, I am using the function xmldom.appendChild() or xmldom.insertBefore() but they remove the first <Address> element and replace it with the second one. This is not what I want since I want both <Address> elements to be present.
Could anyone please advise.
Thanks.

SAP B1 Studio 9.7 - Error : There is an error in XML document (0, 0)

Hi Friends,
I am using SAP B1 Studio PL-9.7 for form designing.
But now a days i could not open this B1 Studio because of this error :
"System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (0, 0). ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing."
When open this SAP B1 Studio, it shows one dialog box with the above error. I attached the dialog box image with this. Please help me..
Advance Thanks,

Hello Christian,
i know this reply is really late ;) I am actually the author of the blog post mentioned by @AnnaWY, the post she mentioned is in regards of a situation 'where everything' is how it should be. Basically, (i think) sometime administrator, or the
person who implements ITSM webservices makes an error, hence this script will not run. You will end up with that issue mentioned, in order to fix it, either you should contact the person who is responsible for that service, OR rewrite the wsdl for it yourself.
It might be a bit problematic, but, it is for sure doable, as in my latest blog post about this issue.
I am writing it here, because i also saw this page, while googling for explanation, i guess there are more people who are looking for this so here is the link to the explanation:

I hope that helps !

Inserting XML document into XDB fails with can't convert to OPAQUE

Hi,
When I try to insert a document using oracle 9.2.0.5 client software into a 9.2.0.5 database, with the following code:

XMLType xt = XMLType.createXML(connection, document);

ps.setObject(1, xt);
ps.executeUpdate();
The setObject function always throws an exception (after a very long time) with:
java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert to internal representation: OPAQUE()
This also fails when we use the InputStream and org.w3c.xml.Document variants.
We use the OCI driver, otherwise we get errors retrieving the documents from XMLDB.
What is going wrong here?

David,
If you search through the historical data in this list there are previous post regarding opaque.
These may be useful. Possibly your reaching the size limit.

Failed to open XML document. Failed to retrieve Public ID

I have a client posting to Weblogic 6.1 server with the help of Apache
SOAP 2.2. The posting works fine if the contents of the SOAP message
is small. But when the contents of SOAP reached more than 11KB, the
following error occurs:
Error: Failed to open XML document. Failed to retrieve PUBLIC id or
SYSTEM id from the document. Decrease the number of char between the
beginning of the document and its root element.
The SOAP document looks like:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<mn:sMethodName xmlns:mn="sMethodURI">
<batch appid="1">
<employee>
<name>...</name>
<address>...</address>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>...</name>
<address>...</address>
</employee>
</batch>
</mn:sMethodName>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
The Max Post Size in Weblogic is set to (-1).
The program is able to handle less than 50 items of
<employee>.....</employee>. The error occurs when more than 50 items
are used. The problem is that our application should be able to handle
more than 1000 items of <employee>....</employee>.
My questions are:
1. How should I configure weblogic to solve the problem?
2. How should I configure the deployment of Apache SOAP to solve the
problem?
Pls advise. Thanks.

One can deduce from the error message that the parser is looking for the
<?XML...?> portion of the document because that is where the SYSTEM and
PUBLIC ids are found in the document.

Sorry, but I didn't get what you mean. I thought that was handled by theApache
SOAP API already? And if it couldn't see the XML document header, then whydoes
this only happens when the document size is large? It doesn't haveproblems whenever
the document size is small.

Reading UTF-7 XML document in Java

I have an XML document and I want to add PrcessingInstruction to it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-7" ?>
<root_element>
<sections>
<section_introduction>
<order-no>108800674</order-no>
<order-type>219</order-type>
<created-date>5. november 2008</created-date>
when trying to parse it like
File tmpFile = new File("C:\\ProvisioningEventError58412.xml");
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false);
Document doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(tmpFile);
System.out.println("end");
I get an exception on Document doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(tmpFile);
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid encoding name "UTF-7".
[Fatal Error] ProvisioningEventError58412.xml:1:40: Invalid encoding name "UTF-7".
Is it possible to set encoding on DocumentBuilder, so it can work with UTF-7 or is there any other was to parse it for adding ProcessingInstruction. Actually I want to add a CSS/XSL file for formatting the XML File.

As you will see from [this Supported Encodings document|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html], it's Java which doesn't support UTF-7, not just DocumentBuilder.
So you have a couple of options. You could send the document back to whoever produced it and tell them that you can't process it the way it is. That's a legitimate thing to do because [the XML Recommendation|http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/] only requires parsers to support UTF-8 and UTF-16. Support for other encodings is optional.
Or you could write your own subclass of InputStreamReader which converts a stream of UTF-7 bytes into a stream of chars, and use that as a Reader which you pass to the parser. Somebody may even have done that already and posted it on the web somewhere.
