Problem with base64 encoding an xml file with accented characters

Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 Enterprise Edition running under windows 2003 server
DB Characterset UTF-8
I have a routine which takes an xml file and base64 encodes it, and the base64encoded text is stored in a clob column of a table.
The xml file is stored in UTF-8 format.
The routine works correctly, except when there are accented characters.
I am using dbms_lob.loadclobfrom file to load the file.
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(src_clob, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
    DBMS_LOB.LoadCLOBFromFile(
          DEST_LOB     => dest_clob
        , SRC_BFILE    => src_clob
        , AMOUNT       => DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(src_clob)
        , DEST_OFFSET => dst_offset
        , SRC_OFFSET   => src_offset
        , BFILE_CSID   =>dbms_lob.default_csid
        , LANG_CONTEXT => lang_ctx
        , WARNING      => warning
    DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(src_clob);base 64 encoded xml with accented character -- incorrect

Detection of encoding of XML file with the StAX parser

Hello!
I am using the StAX parser to read an XML file which can have different encodings.
I don't know how to detect the encoding before reading the file.
This is the way I instantiate the reader now:
XMLStreamReader xmlr = xmlif.createXMLStreamReader(new InputStreamReader (new FileInputStream(inputfile), "utf-8"));
Is there any way to make the reader detect the encoding with StAX? Is it possible detect the encoding with SAX or DOM?
Just paste some piece of code and you will help me a lot!
Thanks,
Lara

XML parsers are supposed to auto-detect the encoding of their inputs. The SAX and DOM parsers built into Java, as well as others like Xerces, do that. I don't know whether your StAX parser does, but it should. There is a standard procedure for determining the encoding that is described in the XML spec.
However if you have malformed XML that fails to declare its encoding properly, then none of those parsers will be able to fix that problem for you.
Here's the simplified rule as it applies to most files: if the XML file doesn't have a prolog, or if it's prolog doesn't specify an encoding, the parser will assume the file's encoding is UTF-8. If the XML file does have a prolog that specifies an encoding, the parser will assume that encoding.
Unfortunately it is common for people to write XML files that don't declare an encoding, but to forget to encode the file in UTF-8. Then you have a file that is actually encoded in (e.g.) Windows-1252, but the parser believes it is UTF-8, and this fails when there are non-ASCII characters in the document.

Problems with reading XML files with ISO-8859-1 encoding

Hi!
I try to read a RSS file. The script below works with XML files with UTF-8 encoding but not ISO-8859-1. How to fix so it work with booth?
Here's the code:

public class RSSDocument {

        String url = new String(inurl);
        try{
            DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
            Document doc = builder.parse(url);
            NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("item");
            for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
                Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i);
                NodeList title = element.getElementsByTagName("title");
                Element line = (Element) title.item(0);
                System.out.println("Title: " + getCharacterDataFromElement(line));
                NodeList des = element.getElementsByTagName("description");
                line = (Element) des.item(0);
                System.out.println("Des: " + getCharacterDataFromElement(line));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

            CharacterData cd = (CharacterData) child;
            return cd.getData();
        return "?";
}And here's the error message:

I read files from the web, but there is a XML tag
with the encoding attribute in the RSS file.If you are quite sure that you have an encoding attribute set to ISO-8859-1 then I expect that your RSS file has non-ISO-8859-1 character though I thought all bytes -128 to 127 were valid ISO-8859-1 characters!
Many years ago I had a problem with an XML file with invalid characters. I wrote a simple filter (using FilterInputStream) that made sure that all the byes it processed were ASCII. My problem turned out to be characters with value zero which the Microsoft XML parser failed to process. It put the parser in an infinite loop!
In the filter, as each byte is read you could write out the Hex value. That way you should be able to find the offending character(s).

XML file with an attached MIME encoded ZIP file

Hi all,
I'm new to SAP WAS and MIME encoding/decoding, and I'm trying to generate an XML file with an attachment which is also MIME encoded.
1) I have dummy files (1.jpg, 2.jpg) and I'm trying to zip these files into one zip file (files.zip).
2) I'm trying to MIME encode/decode this zip file.
3) I'm trying to attach this MIME encoded zip file to existing XML file.
Which FMs could I use to accomplish this? Your help is very appreciated.
Thank you.
below is a file example that I'm trying to generate.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
     boundary="--XXXXboundary text"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Just create an applet (extend JApplet)... add a JTextArea to it....fill the text area with the text from an XML doc.
To get the text of the XML doc just do something like..
File xmlFile = new File("<path to xml file>");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(xmlFile);
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) xmlFile.length()];
fis.read(bytes);
fis.close();
String xmlText = new String(xmlBytes);
textArea.setText(xmlText);
...try something like that (assuming..i understand what it is u want)

Problem when decrypting an encrypted xml data with arabic data

Hi all
I have problem in decryption an encrypted Xml file. because my Xml file contains utf-8 characters, this problem occurs. after many proccess on Xml data the following code throws an Exception:
try {
// Works if the content is a single child element.
byte [] a = decbit.getBytes("UTF-8");
ByteArrayInputStream bais2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(a);
Document decdoc = docBuilder.parse(bais2);
Node decNode =
encDoc.importNode(decdoc.getFirstChild(), true);
edata.getParentNode().replaceChild(decNode,edata);
}catch(org.xml.sax.SAXParseException spe) {
//In case the content is plain text
//or a group of child elements
Text decText = encDoc.createTextNode(decbit);
edata.getParentNode().replaceChild(decText,edata);
decString = (getString((XmlDocument)encDoc));
at the line with code "Document decdoc = docBuilder.parse(bais2); " an Exception occurs with message :
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Illegal character at end of document, <.
whereas when I debug the project the filed "decbit", contains correct data. any way, in order to the exception, the control move to "catch" block and create a Text Node but the problem is the replaced data is like this:
<id root="588588588" extension="" displayable="false" /><beneficiaryOf typeCode="BEN">

</carrierRole>
</author>
</policyOrAccount>
</beneficiaryOf>
as you can see, tha "<" characters are < and the ">" characters are >
this really exhausted me, please help me out.
thank you, any help will be appreciated

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Hi,
you need to create three util class for that:-
XMLHandler
XMLParser
XMLBuilder
for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

Problem Encoding WMV to FLV with Media Encoder CS4 (but not with CS3)

Hello,
I have been attempting to encode some WMV files with Flash Media Encoder CS4 (I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed) but it has failed, generating this error:
- Source File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01.wmv
- Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01_3.flv
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: 624x343, Same as source [fps]
- Audio: MPEG Layer III (MP3), 128 [kbps], Stereo
- Bitrate: VBR, 400.00 [kbps]
- Encoding Time: 00:06:36
5/28/2010 11:26:16 AM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
On another computer where Adobe Media Encoder CS3 is installed (with Creative Suite CS3), I experience no such problem. I do notice that when I add the WMV to Adobe Media Encoder CS3, it opens a window that prompts me to use "ffdshow", which will apparently work if it's configured to decode the file. I click "OK" and start the queue in the encoder. A few minutes later I get a successfully encoded FLV file.
I have come to question whether Adobe Media Encoder CS4 should be re-installed, whether the entire Suite should re-installed, or if there is some patch or fix I can install somewhere. Adobe Media Encoder CS4 is installed on my "production" computer which also has Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3) and Adobe Premiere Elements (7).
Could use some advice here.
Glen
P.S. the files will also not export to FLV using Adobe Premiere or Premiere elements...

Again, the reason we are capturing with Windows Media Encoder is because we tried using Live Flash Encoder to capture directly into flash but our equipment wasn't fast enough and it was dropping frames all over the place. We also don't have the space to capture into an uncompressed format because we don't have the available storage, and our events can be 8 hours long or more (each video is about 15 minutes, 20 or more videos)
Ive listened to everything in my workflow and it sounds fine until the outputted FLV file from AME.
WME is capturing at the following specs:
160kbps 48KHz Windows Media Audio 9.2 codec (stereo) 1 pass CBR
1800kbps 1 pass CBR video
29.97 fps
640x360 resolution
buffer size: 5 seconds
key frame interval: 8 seconds
I have verified this with a codec info utility I ran on the wmv files.
AME is encoding with the following specs:
FLV Multiplexing
On2 VP6 codec
620x360 resolution
800kbps 2 pass VBR
100% undershoot at best quality
160kbps stereo MP3 audio
I verified the above with the same codec info utility (gspot 2.70a) and it is all acurate, it also told me that the audio is at 44.1KHz rather than 48 (there was no place to specify this, is this a limitatino of the VP6 codec?)
Yes, these are our source assets. They're being captured either through an XL2 via firewire, or from an analog program feed converted to firewire via a Canopus converter box.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of this, or a different encoder (either to capture with rather low cpu resources, or to encode into flash) let me know. I can provide a sample of the clipping if you need
Thanks,
Peter

How to parse XML file with namesapce?

Hi,
   I am trying to parse an xml file having namespace. But no data is returned.
Sample Code:
public class XMLFileLoader
var xml:XML = new XML();
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/MyData.xml";
var myLoader:URLLoader = null;
public function XMLFileLoader()
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
myLoader= new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,download);
public function download(event:Event):void
myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
var ns:Namespace=myXML.namespace("xsi");
for(var prop:String in myXML)
     trace(prop);
//Alert.show(myXML..Parameters);
//trace("Data loadedww."+myXML.toString());
//Alert.show(myXML.DocumentInfo.attributes()+"test","Message");
The XML Contains the following format.
<Network xmlns="http://www.test.com/2005/test/omc/conf"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

i have exactly the same problem with KXml2, but using a j2me-polish netbeans project.
i've tried to work around with similar ways like you, but none of them worked. now i've spent 3 days for solving this problem, i'm a bit disappointed :( what is wrong with setting the downloaded kxml2 jar path in libraries&resources?

Loading XML file with missing elements dynamically through ODI

Hi Guys ,
I have the below xml file with two nodes Employee and Address. On a daily basis , sometimes the address element might not come in from the source xml file , but my interface has columns mapped to address elements, and hence it can fail due to the source element not being found in the file or data might not get loaded due to the 'and' condition in the sql query generated between the employee and address elements. Is there a way where i can load the data dynamically where i can search in the file only for the elements (Employee) present and load data only for those elements dynamically?
XML File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EMP>
<Empsch>
<Employee>
<EmployeeID>12345</EmployeeID>
<Initials>t</Initials>
<LastName>john</LastName>
<FirstName>doe</FirstName>
</Employee>
<Address>
<WorkPhone>12345</WorkPhone>
<WorkAddress>Test 234</WorkAddress>
</Address>
</Empsch>
</EMP>
Thanks ,
Revanth Tambisetty

I was able to resolve it by using left outer joins and referring the table structure from the XSD

How do you display xml file with xlst sheet in jsp

I have an xml file with accompanying xslt file (and several images that are used in a single directory. If I doubleclick on the xml file, it displays perfectly in my browser - Formatting, images and all!
          The 100 dollar question - How do I duplicate this behavior in a JSP page in WebLogic 8.1 using the code in the xml and the accompanying xslt (formatting) file? I tried simple embedding the xml code in the jsp, but that didn't seem to work. What is the secret?
          Okay, I need to add a bit more information here. I understand that it is really easy to just redirect to the XML file. The issue is really security. I want the XML to be inside a jsp that will only allow validated users to view it.
          Another way to look at the problem would be, can I add a jsp security tag to the xml file? Or how to I add the xml code inside a jsp and keep the path references to the xslt and graphics.
          Hope the added information helps
          Thanks,
          Ken

Make a sort with ODI while generating XML File

Hi all,
I made a package whith several interfaces and a treatment.
Each interface targets a table in my XML schema and the final treatment is a CreateXMLFile.
Everything goes well, my XML file is generated :D
Now I'd like to make a sort in an XML element. I know how to order the elements between them but can't find a way to sort a specific element. Excuse my poor english, I'm not really clear...
My XML is built like this :
<root>
<questions>
<question>
<questionnumber>1</questionnumber>
</question>
<question>
<questionnumber>2</questionnumber>
</question>
<questions>
<root>
So my problem is to make the questionnumber ordered.
I tried to modify the IKM SQL Incremental Update to add a ORDER BY in the "Insert new rows" step.
The generated code is executed with success... but in the end, my XML file is not sorted :S
So first question, do you have an idea to be able to view the data in my XML schema tables ? This schema is stored in the memory engine and not in an external base. I ask that because when you try to execute the query "select * from XMLSchema.XMLTable" in the Operator, it appears you get the datas you had when the schema had been reversed. Idem when you try to view the datas in datastore. So first of all I'd like to do this control to be sure my order by is taken into account.
Second question, do you know how the Odi XML driver builds the XML File with the command CreateXMLFile, because I think that my XML table is well sorted but that the CreateXMLFile doesn't repect this order. I checked the driver tutorial but couldn't find any help on that subject.
So if anyone has got an idea to help me, I would appreciate a lot.
Thanks,
Thierry

Sending XML Files with Certificate

Hello everybody.
I need develop an abap program for sending XML files with a certificate.
How I can create this certificate?
Somebody have an idea?
Thank you everybody.

Mikael,
This sounds like one of the many quirks (perhaps bugs) related to how FrameMaker handles non-FM files in books. The current book model doesn't play well with XML files as chapters and this seems like yet another problem. Apparently, if an xref does not target another .fm file in the book, Frame assumes that the target file is not in the book and therefore will not be in the book PDF.
There have been discussions here about this in the past. The solution that I use is to run an API client before publishing that converts all XML files to .fm files, and redirect all xrefs appropriately. Then, book features work as expected and PDFs come out as normal. This is not feasible, however, without the automation from the API client.
There may be some who would say that the best approach is to use XML and books the way that the designers did account for... that is, the whole book becomes an XML document with entity references to the separate chapters. In my work, though, this model was not appropriate... rather, I needed a binary FM book to act like a book, except with XML files as chapters. So, I think I understand your situation.
Is API programming or FrameScript an option for you? I think it may be the only way to get what you are looking for.

Read XML file with JSX

I would like to be able to read an XML file in an InDesign script and create a new document by looping through its nodes and extracting content from them. I've never done this before and I can't seem to find the right information on how to do it. Can someone give me a snippet to get me started? Thanks!

Read the "Integrating XML into JavaScript" chapter in "JavaScript Tools Guide".
Below is a script I made a while ago. It can give you idea how to start writing your own script. It reads an xml-file, creates a new document from the template, relinks links listed in the xml-file comparing the width, height and resolution with data in the xml-file.
