Posting XML to Web Servlet

I have a web servlet that a third party creaded for my
company that I'm trying to post data to, The way they set it up is
by posting a starndard XML document (or string) that's wrapped by a
pair of non-standard tags (the tags are --<<tagName>>
-- ) . Its a little bass-ackwards, but I suppose they had their
reasoning.
The issue I'm running into is, when I create an XML Object to
send to the servlet (using xml.sendAndLoad method), I can't find a
way to have the XML object keep those non-standard tags at the
begginng and end. Is there a work around to this? or a better way I
should be doing it? See the text below for a clearer picture of
what's going on...

if you are trying to talk to a real web service with a wsdl
file, and you are using Flash pro 8, then I would assume that you
just want to use the web service connector component and pass a
string of XML in the format you need. You can do the same
completely in actionscript if you read up on how to
programmatically connect to a web service. But the key would be
handing it a string that looks like the XML format they are
expecting.

Posting XML to XSQL servlet

Hi
I use Java to post an XMLDocument to the XSQL servlet
my java program :
public void envoie() throws java.lang.Exception {
try{
Hashtable params = new Hashtable(1);
URL pageUrl = new URL("http://k2sun2/xsql/insert_crpersonnes_cr.xsql");
// Construct a new XSQL Page request
XSQLRequest req = new XSQLRequest(pageUrl);
org.w3c.dom.Document converted= (org.w3c.dom.Document)xmldoc;
req.setPostedDocument(converted);
req.process(params, new PrintWriter(System.out), new PrintWriter(System.err));
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
the program returns this error :
<?xml version = '1.0'?><xsql-status action="xsql:insert-request" result="No posted document to process"/>
null

The http get is a "red herring". I wanted to see what was being fired at the xsql page and I thing the "get" referred to the retrieval of the xsql page. Anyway, here's exactly what I've got:
Receiving Table:
create table newsstory
(id number
,title varchar2(2000)
,url varchar2(2000)
,source varchar2(2000)
XSQL Page:

<testpage connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:include-param name="param1"/>
<xsql:include-param name="param2"/>
<xsql:insert-request table="newsstory"/>
</testpage>
Java Program:
import oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLRequest;

// Setup a Hashtable of named parameters to pass to the request
Hashtable params = new Hashtable(3);
params.put("param1","value1");
params.put("param2","value2");
// Prepare an XML Document to post
String xmldocstring = "<ROWSET><ROW><ID>55</ID><TITLE>Test Title</TITLE><URL>Test URL</URL><SOURCE>Test Source</SOURCE></ROW></ROWSET>";
oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser d = new oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser();
d.parse(new StringReader(xmldocstring));
Document doc2Post = d.getDocument();
// Print out the contents of do2Post to check there is something to post.
System.out.println("value is " + XMLUtil.dom2XmlString(doc2Post));
req.setPostedDocument(doc2Post);
// Process the page, passing the parameters and writing the output
// to standard out.
req.process(params,new PrintWriter(System.out)
,new PrintWriter(System.err));
Output:

GET, Modify, POST XML from Web Service Requests (Webtests)

I'm using load testing to exercise an API, so I'm creating many small webtests which mimic typical user operations. One of my operations will be a GET of transaction data and a PUT of that same data, slightly modified.
I'm able to capture the response from the GET in an extraction rule and resubmit to the API, the question is how to manipulate the XML so that there's a small typical edit. What's the best way to do this?
I understand the nature of the web test plug-ins, as the "cartilage" around the bones of the webservice requests. I would much rather angle towards a plugin than convert to a coded test and modify that way. I like the normal non-coded
test interface but I dont know that the webtest plugin nor webtest request gives me the granularity the coded webtest does. Unfortunately, I dont like the fact I can't easily debug through the coded webtest.
This seems like a straightforward operation. Do I understand all my options? How would you do this?

On further review, I might have figured this out. I misunderstood something I read online. The web test request plug-ins can be associated with an individual service call and aren't automatically applied to all service calls in a web performance
test collection.
.. I can do something like this to access my captured context information and manipulate the XML via XDocument/XElement. - This demonstrates how to get my captured {{ResponseDocument}} from the extraction rule.
public class XmlModification : WebTestRequestPlugin
public override void PreRequest(object sender, PreRequestEventArgs e)
MessageBox.Show(e.WebTest.Context["ResponseDocument"].ToString());

Using Native Oracle XML DB Web Services - REST POST web service possible?

My goal is to expose some pl/sql procedures as a REST web services.
The Database is 11gR2
The request method needs to be a POST (not GET as a request will perform insert/updates ) - the request body will contain a xml structure
Have setup XMLDB Database-native Web Services as per
11g documentation "Using Native Oracle XML DB Web Services"
It seems this setup support only SOAP requests!?
RESTful webservice with GET is (sort of) supported using
Embedded PL/SQL Gateway as describer here:
http://ora-00001.blogspot.com/2009/07/creating-rest-web-service-with-plsql.html
Although no support for POST
Obviously the post is from 2009 so just want to know if anything changed since.
Has anyone found a way to expose pl/sql procedures using XML DB or other approach as a REST POST web services?
(As the relative low number of calls/hour and also the aim to have the least amount of moving parts therefor looking for a DB centric solution)
Thanks
Pete

I think the post referred to was more an exercise of what could be achieved. The quickest way, nowadays, to get this done with not too much hassle is via APEX

Whats the difference between servlet-config.xml ang web.xml???

whats the difference between servlet-config.xml ang web.xml???

web.xml is the standard configuration for all Java EE web modules.
servlet-config.xml appears to be pertinent only for Struts apps.
you don't have to have servlet-config.xml if you don't use Struts, but you've got to have web.xml.

How to post xml - request in mapviewer

Hello,
i want to make a web page that will post xml - requests in mapviewer.
How can i send a xml request in mapviwer from a web page?

Does the mapviewer welcome do what you need?
That is index.html in oc4jhome/j2ee/home/applications/mapviewer/web/
If it does then , use the same method to submit a form using HTTP POST to
the mapviewer servlet.
It's also documented in Ch 3 of the the user guide.
"A request to the OracleAS MapViewer servlet has the following format:
http://hostname[:port]/MapViewer-servlet-path?xml_request=xml-request

Error while posting xml file to URL using URLConnection

Hello everyone,
I am facing an issue from long time related to URLConnection. If this would be resolved by your help then I would be very grateful to you.
One application which posts xml file to URL hangs and after waiting for 5 mins it throws 504 error:
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 504 for URL: http:hostname.
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:715)
Same application is running fine without error on another environment from last 5 years. But on another env it is erroring out from the day 1.
We have many workarounds in place none worked.
I tried to use HttpClient from apache but that too hanged at URLConnection.getInputStream() method call.
App is running on iPlanet web server 6.1 using JDK 1.4.0_03
We still dont know why this program hangs at that particular line in only one env but many times it runs fine. That means 30% of the times it posts xml file without error but 70% times it errors out. So our program logic is to retry until post is successful.
Once this issue is resolved we will remove the logic of trying again and agian.
Please provide inputs.
Thanks,
Nitin

The HTTP response 504 means that the server, acting as a gateway, has not received a response from an upstream server in the time it expected.
I think this is problem is due to the remote server that receives the XML and takes too long to return a response to the local application that posted the XML.
Try HttpClient and set the timeout variable of the HttpClient instance used.
Here http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jakarta/commons/proper/httpclient/trunk/src/examples/PostXML.java?revision=480424&view=markup
a Post XML sample.
NB: HttpClient > setTimeout method is deprecated. See : http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/index.html for an alternative
Hope That Helps

How to read an XML from a servlet?

Hi,
I'm just starting programming and now I have a problem I can't solve. I hope someone can help me.</p>
On the client side I have a xml report and a script wich sends to the server the information I've got from the report. In this case, the 'Poliza' value.
On the server-side I have a servlet. I try to get the parameters (from the URL or from the XML), but I don't have any response on the client side. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't find the solution for solving it.
I suppose there are two ways of solving the problem.
- Make an http connetion and send just the parametes on the URL? Does anyone know how to make it?
- Reading the XML on the servlet and extract the parameters the script sent. Does anyone know how to read it?
Thank you in advance
I attach part of the code.
CLIENT SIDE
<report....>
<field sortid="0" id="Poliza" inputtype="textbox" label="Poliza" rows="1" wide="false" required="false"/>
</report>
<script name="ValidacionOnlineValidation1" script="if (0 == 0){

var szUserAgent = "JoP-XML_Posting_v1.0";
var m_XML;
/* In the line below, construct a XML-document that contains all the information you need to send to the server*/
var szXML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><data><objects><object name=\"Poliza\" value=\"123456789\"/></objects></data>";
/* Create an instance of the MS XML Document Object Model Parser*/
m_XML= new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
m_XML.validateOnParse=true;
var bLoadResult = m_XML.loadXML(szXML);
if (bLoadResult==true) {
/*Instance of the transport object, method,...*/
var m_HttpReq = new ActiveXObject("Pocket.HTTP");
m_HttpReq.method = "GET";
m_HttpReq.Headers.create("Content-Type", "text/xml");
m_HttpReq.Headers.find ("User-Agent").Value = szUserAgent;
m_HttpReq.timeout = 150000;
/*Do the actual post of the data*/
var m_HttpResponse = m_HttpReq.GetResponse(szURL,m_XML.xml);
if (m_HttpResponse.statusCode==200) {...}
SERVER SIDE
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException {
     String Error="";
     String MSG = "";
     response.setContentType("text/html");
     PrintWriter out1 = response.getWriter();
     Enumeration arrayparametros = request.getParameterNames();
     for (;arrayparametros.hasMoreElements();){
          String parametro = (String)arrayparametros.nextElement();
          String valorparametro = request.getParameter(parametro);
          if (parametro.equals("Poliza")){
               vonlineLogica logica = new vonlineLogica();
               LOGS ="on";
               Respuesta respuesta = logica.procesarSolicitud(request,valorparametro);
               Error = Respuesta.getError();
               MSG = Respuesta.getMensaje();
          else{
               Error = parametro; MSG = valorparametro;
               String[] values = request.getParameterValues(parametro);
     out1.println("Result: " + Error + " / " + MSG);
     out1.close();
}

Thanks by your help Shanu.
Nevertheless, finally I tryed the easiest way (pass the parameter with 'GET'). Moreover I found why my code wasn't working. It was a fool thing. I though PDA connect throught a proxy, but it wasn't true. Whatever.
Regards.
FSG.
The final script on the xml-report is:
<report type="Validacion Online" required="false" multiple="false" attachments="false" scriptref="store://this/reportdef/script[@name='ValidacionOnlineValidation1']">
     <field sortid="0" id="Poliza" inputtype="textbox" label="Poliza" rows="1" wide="false" required="false"/>
</report>
<script name="ValidacionOnlineValidation1" script="if (0 == 0)
var szURL="http://URL/vonline/vonline?parameter1=";+Poliza.value;
var m_HttpReq = new ActiveXObject("Pocket.HTTP");                                             m_HttpReq.timeout = 15000;
var m_HttpResponse = m_HttpReq.GetResponse(szURL,"");
window.alert(m_HttpResponse.string);
if (m_HttpResponse.statusCode==200) {....}

Passing XML payload from Servlet to JMS

Hi All,
My requirement is that servlet will receive the HTTP request , convert it into XML format and publish it to JMS queue.
Now, I am stuck at the part where I need to publish the XML payload to JMS queue.
Is it possible to send the XML payload from servlet to JMS queue? Is yes, please let me know how can we achieve this.
Thanks

I suggest you go to the following page: [http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/pdf.html] .
In the "Programming" section, download and read at least "Programming WebLogic JMS" and perhaps "Developing Web Applications, Servlets, and JSPs for WebLogic Server" and "Developing Applications with WebLogic Server".

How get xml-data at servlet by http and parse it?

hello! please help me who can, i have very urgent task but not much skilful to deal with work in web. is anywhere source code or similar example of task to get xml-data at servlet by http and parse it . thank you in advance

here a basic code that reads and parses an remote xml file:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;

               HttpURLConnection httpSource = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
               // parse the file and also register this class for call backs
               sp.parse(httpSource.getInputStream(), this);
          } catch (SAXException se) {
               se.printStackTrace();
          } catch (ParserConfigurationException pce) {
               pce.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IOException ie) {
               ie.printStackTrace();
     // Event Handlers

          buffer = new StringBuffer();
     public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException {

     public static void main(String[] args) {
          SAXParserExample spe = new SAXParserExample();
          spe.runExample();
}you have only to change the urlString and adapt to your needs.
hope it helps

Need server.xml and web.xml for connection pooling

hi guys,
I am having lots of problem implementing the Connection Pool. I want to use the Tomcat's Connection pool classes and not my connection pool.
I have gone through lots of problem trying to configure it.
I got the range of errors. Has someone worked on this. Does it work with Tomcat 4.1 and Oracle 8i. Can anyone provide any links or previous posts to help me out.
If someone can paste their working server.xml and web.xml then that would be really grt.
Any kind of help would be really helpful.
Amit

Tomcat does not have a connection pooling mechanism. I've used Apache Commons DBCP with Tomcat although with PostgreSQL. It works great.
Nothing in my web.xml gets modified. Only server.xml needs to be updated for DBCP. The Tomcat JNDI Datasource documentation is very good and should get you through.

How to Modify Server.xml and web.xml inTomcat

Hii
i am very new to tomcat..and using servlets..so plx tell me hw i can modify the server.xml and web.xml....
if my installables are in c:\program files\apache group\tomcat4.1
ok...i have my servlets file in c:\program files\apache group\tomcat4.1\webapps\ap1\WEB-INF\classes..so plz advice me on modifying the server.xml and web.xml....also tell me how and what we do in mapping
Plz tell me soon...
thanking u in advance.
rahul
Take care.:)

for web.xml you need something like this, i took this from the web.xml under the examples directory in tomcat:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
servletToJsp
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
servletToJsp
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
CompressionFilterTestServlet
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
compressionFilters.CompressionFilterTestServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
</web-app>
basically you need to map the servlet with a class, for servlet-name call it whatever you like, you'll be using this name in the url to access you servlet, for the class give it the name of the class, java complied class, that's it.
server.xml is used to configure tomcat.
