Preserve whitespace in XML element value

I am trying to add XML element with value prefix with white space:
ex_doc->create_simple_element(
      name = 'VALUEPART1'
      value = '          BQ/XWKB-99-5-9999-2'
      parent = lo_ele_e1bpparex_bape_vbak ).
But when the XML is create, the white space is removed! How can I preserve the white space???
<VALUEPART1>BQ/XWKB-99-5-9999-2</VALUEPART1>
What i want is:
<VALUEPART1>          BQ/XWKB-99-5-9999-2</VALUEPART1>
Appreciate for any help

Hi,
if you had been using XSLT instead, I would have said 'remove the strip-space element or alter it according to your needs'...
Please provide what class you are using, else it's too generic..

Exception in assigning XML elements value in Workshop

Hi ,
I tried creating a variable of type XML object(OrderREsponse). I have one MB Publisher control which sends in a variable of type OrderResponse. Before sending it , I try setting the individual XML elements value in it. So, for all the individual elemtns , I set accordinglly in both the formats.
responseXML.addNewOrderResponse().setOrderNumber("N12121212");
responseXML.getOrderResponse().setOrderNumber("N12121212");
where responseXML is a variable of type OrderResponse document.
This place while executing I'm getting an exception.
Here is the exception I'm getting.

How to insert brackets into an XML element value?

If I have a <file> </file> element in an XML file and I want to insert a filename of the form PED<yyMMdd>232, how do I insert the < and > brackets as an element value inside the <file> tag?
I use JCreator to edit the xml file and it treats <yyMMdd> as a seperate element instead of being part of the filename.
Edited by: Weng on Mar 27, 2008 10:06 AM

You have to escape those characters, like this:
PED<yyMMdd>232

Set xml element value

Im trying to set the value of an xml element, however, its simply not working. no error is thrown, but its not setting the value either.
My xml doc contains the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<TMMsg_CreateTaskReq>
<Element1>
<value>val1</value>
<value>val2</value>
</Element1>
</TMMsg_CreateTaskReq>
Im trying to update the 1st value node to "new value" but the file is not updated. what am I doing wrong?
[xml]$fileContents = Get-Content -Path 'C:\test.xml'
$fileContents.TMMsg_CreateTaskReq.Element1.Value[0] = 'new value'
$fileContents.Save('C:\test2.xml')

Hi
From what I gather, powershell is probably understanding that you're trying to access a member named 'Value" of Element1 instead of a child node.
If you look at
System.Xml.XmlElement, you'll see that 'value' already exists.
You can also see it by doing:
$fileContents.TMMsg_CreateTaskReq.Element1 | get-member
by doing get-member, you'll also see that value is read only. Powershelll simply ignores your attemp to write to a read-only property and moves on.
I usually use xpath queries when powershell doesn't do exactly what I want:
($fileContents.SelectSingleNode("//value[1]"))."#text"="bob"
That lines select a the first node called value anywhere in the xml document, and then updates the text property to bob.

The code works fine.. except for the fact that when in the input XML message i get one element as
<Element-3042> </Element-3042>
it converts it to
<Element-3042/>
The whitespace is removed...
I tried using the xml parser method...and whitespacepreserver optioin...but it creates some extra lines...
Which i dont want.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Rosh

Difficult to read non-formatted code, so pardon not looking at it and trying to spot the problem/error. However, whitespaces seem to work fine for me (tested on 10.2.0.4). Note the resulting XML for a string value, a whitespace value and a null.

Preserving whitespace in Run element

When formatting a paragraph as so -
<RichTextBlock><Paragraph xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'>
<Run></Run>
<InlineUIContainer><TextBlock >Words here</TextBlock></InlineUIContainer>
<Run xml:space="preserve"> </Run>
<InlineUIContainer><TextBlock>More words here</TextBlock></InlineUIContainer>
<Run xml:space="preserve"> Lastly some words here</Run>
</Paragraph>
</RichTextBlock>
The <Run> element containing a single space is never displayed and ignore the space=preserve property. However the last run with a leading space is displayed correctly.
How can I get a run containing a single space to display ?

Hi BradStevenson,
You can see the whitespace working principle in XAML from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh758290.aspx.
As we can see, “A space immediately following the start tag is deleted.”
it should be removed by the system. But when we add whitespace before other characters, I think it is used as a string, because “If the type of the property is Object, then the inner text is parsed as a single String. If there are intervening element
tags, this results in a XAML parser error, because the Object type implies a single object (String or otherwise).” When whitespace in inner text. You can find these explanation from the above link.
So if you want to preserve the whitespace, use whitespace in string and make the system considering it as inner text.
Feel free to let me know if you have any concerns.

Jdeveloper 10.1.3: JAXB - how to preserve whitespace in text element??

Dear all,
i am trying to use jaxb to do the xml <> java object conversion.
i meet a problem that the jaxb seems don't preserve the white space when xml to
java conversion (but java to xml is ok, the whitespace is preserved.)
for example:
an element with string type: <Address> with leading and trailing spaces </Address>,
in java code, obj.getAddress() return "with leading and trailing spaces", the spaces
are trimmed..
is there any configuration to make?
how can i preserve the whitespaces?
thank you
ping

Hi, Branislav,
That's great! It works!
I choose to use the first method. I have two project modules, both use the same data model. I opened the data model project's properties editor, highlighted the business components node, and the the Connection dropdown list is right there.
Thank you very much! You are always very helpful!

Getting Tag and value from the selected Xml element value

Hi All,
I have an xml file which i import to the Indesign CS3 .From the structure view , i drag and drop the root node on to the page. Now i select an xml value from the page. Now i need to get the element tag and value from the selected value.
For example
File Name : sample1.xml
<Root>
<employeeName> A</employeeName>
<employeeEmail>[email protected]</employeeEmail>
</Root>
Now i import this sample.xml in my indesign CS3 and from the structure view i drag the Root tag and drop it on the page.Now the values of the element tag are displayed.
Now i select "[email protected]" from the page and i have a menu "Get Selected XML" on clicking which i should get element tag with value.(i.e <employeeEmail>[email protected]</employeeEmail>)
How to go about it.?
Thanks

Hi Steve,

Preserving whitespace in XML fields?

I have a requirement to preserve the character positioning within an XML field. I am using the standard XML/HTTP port for output from the ALE interface. One of the fields contains multiple spaces within the data. It appears the default setting of the XML processor is to condense these spaces into a single space. The xsl:preserve-space pre-processor command should preserve the whitespace, Does anyone know how to configure the SAP XML processor to do this?   Thanks!
We are using basis 6.20

There's a setting in Flash's XML object called ignoreWhitespace that you need to set to false (by default its true).
Something like this should work:
function convertStringToXML(source:String):XML
     var originalSettings:Object = XML.settings();
     try
          XML.ignoreWhitespace = false;
          var xmlTree:XML = new XML(source);
     finally
          XML.setSettings(originalSettings);
     return xmlTree;

Extracting the Attributes values of an XML Element

Dear Forum Members
Please tell me any XML Function which is used to extract the Attribute value of an XML Element.
Given below
<BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C Key="6708">
is an Element With some Key value.
I want to have that Key value.
Using Extract and Extractvalue I am not able to get the Attribute value.
Is there any way..
Regards
Madhu K

Your xml is not really complete ;), but this should get you started:
michaels> with t as
(select xmltype('<BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C Key="6708"></BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C>') xml from dual)
select d.xml, d.xml.extract('//BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C/@Key') key
from t d
XML KEY
<BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C Key="6708"></BRKCD_STREDSWTINVIN_C> 6708

Use DOM to get the element value of XML document?

I can not to use the method getNodeValue to get the element value of XML document. How can I do for it?
For example, for element
<address>125 Smith Avenue</address>
how to get the value "125 Smith Avenue" by using DOM?
Thanks

Thanks for all of you.
The code indicates that I need to get the node by tag name. If I do not know the distribution of the elements and want to traverse all nodes. If the node contains value, I retrieve the value. How to implement the general case.
For example, my XML file represent a directory hierarchy and looks like
<root>
<usr>
<user>user1
<file>file1</file>
<file>file2</file>
</user>
<user>user2
<file>file1</file>
<file>file2</file>
<file>file3</file>
<file>file4</file>
</user>
</usr>
</root>

Getting Node Value of an XML element in JAVA.

Hi,
In my application, I have got the exact node that I want by parsing the document, but the node value returned is null as the node is an element and the Java Documentation does specify that it will return null. I would like to know if there in any alternative way by which I can parse the document and get the specified value of the node or element. Kindly help.

Hi,
i am using the dom parser. My code is as follows.
Document xmlDocument, outputDoc;
               DocumentBuilderFactory dbfObject = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               DocumentBuilder dbObject = dbfObject.newDocumentBuilder();
               xmlDocument = dbObject.parse("IPD_Response.xml");
               Element dd = xmlDocument.getDocumentElement();
               NodeList ItemAttributes = dd.getElementsByTagName("Element Name");
               System.out.println("element" + ItemAttributes.item(0));
               Node ss = ItemAttributes.item(0);
               NodeList bb = ss.getChildNodes();
               Node cc = ss.getFirstChild();
               System.out.println("element sibling1 "+bb.item(0));
               System.out.println("element sibling 2"+bb.item(1));
               System.out.println("element sibling 3"+bb.item(2));
               System.out.println("element child "+cc);
               Node aa = bb.item(0);
               NodeList qqq = aa.getChildNodes();
               System.out.println("element sibling1---1 "+qqq.item(0));
               System.out.println("element sibling1---1 "+qqq.item(1));
               Node fff = qqq.item(0);
               Node aaa = qqq.item(1);
               String value1 = fff.getNodeValue();
               String value2 = aaa.getNodeValue();
               System.out.println("1st value "+value1+" 2nd value "+value2);What my code does is gets all the elements within a particular tag. After that i look for the child nodes, which i have done successfully. But when i get the value using getNodeValue(); method it will be null as per the Java Docs. Is there any other way by which i can get the node value. Kindly help.
How do you parse the XML Document ?
Are you using a DOM Document ?
Which parser do you use ?
How do you access the Element ?
