Dynamically create Value Objects from XML file

Hi
I want to create a value object from Xml file dynamically,like in the xml file i have the name of the variable and the datatype of the variable.is it possible do that,if so how.

Read about apache's Digester tool. This is part of the Jakartha project. This tool helps in creating java objects from the XML files. I am not sure, if that is what u r looking for.

Getting Node Value of an XML document 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.

Well, there are not many mind readers on this forum.
You do not tell us how you are parsing the document, and so it is difficult determining why the node value is returned as a null.
There are two main styles of processing XML -- DOM and SAX. Dom (and its variants JDom and I think Dom4J) build a tree structure that is memory-resident. There are ways to walk up and down the tree, and locate arbitrary nodes in the tree.
The other style is SAX, which is much less intensive from a memroy perspective, but puts more work on you to keep what you want as the data goes flying by.
So, how are you "parsing the document" and what method is returning a null? That may give someone enough information to guess at your problem.

Getting Node Value of an XML element in JAVA.

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.

Create value object from xml

So I've got a value object with 100 fields.
I have a ASP.net web service that returns the value objects
as XML (I really don't want to use WebOrb...).
I don't want to write a lot of code like this:
vo.Field1 = voXML.Field1;
vo.Field2 = voXML.Field2;
vo.Field3 = voXML.Field3;
Is there an easier/faster way to do this? Can't I do some
sort of for/each loop. The element names are identical to the field
names.
Thanks.

Insert data from XML in a BLOB column to a table

I have a situation where my source table has a blob column and an XML file is loaded into it.
Whenever an insert into the table happens I need to read the XML and insert the values from XML to a target table .
I have done it with oracle inbuilt parser and tokens but this will do a call to the database when already the data is available on the extract file.That would mean a lower performance .
Can someone help me maybe with some userexit or something
Thanks in advance

Please check if you can see the 'DBMS_XMLSAVE' object in all_objects.

Storing a Non Printable -from keyboard- Character in Varchar2 Column

Hi,
I want to store a non-printable character in a varchar2 column. This character should be non-printable -from keyboard- for all character sets -or very difficult to print from keyboard-. It doesn't matter, whether it can be displayed on screen or not. It does matter INSTR function returns the character position of that character. It should be able to import export data without any problem for any NLS specific operating environment. For example, I plan to use chr(1) do you think it's appropriate? I appreciate your helps.
Best Regards,
Salim

What is the business requirement you're trying to satisfy?
If your database character set is based on ASCII, CHR(1) (the Start of Header) character is likely to be transferred between systems without character set conversion. Non-ASCII character sets (i.e. Big5 for Chinese data) don't necessarily share the same control characters, though, and generally won't have the same binary representation of an ASCII control character (so CHR(1) in a non-ASCII based database wouldn't necessarily return the same character that CHR(1) would in an ASCII based database).

How to create a dyanamic query in PL/SQL from XML

Hi Forum,
I am having an XML file with tags. I am controlling my JSP page layout with these tags and it is working fine. But I need to send the Orange colour nodes to a pl/sql in the JSP page to construct the query as per the XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Jobmanage>
<Customer name="StGeorge">
<Column>
<Name>QM_NUMBER</Name>
<Title>Job Number</Title>
<Width>10</Width>
<Font>Arial</Font>
<Size>10</Size>
<Align>center</Align>
<Display>Yes</Display>
<cloumn1> QM_NUMBER <column1>
</Column>
<Column>
<Name>QM_JOB_STATUS</Name>
<Title>Job Status</Title>

<Size>10</Size>
<Align>center</Align>
<Display>Yes</Display>
<column3>QM_USER_STATUS</column3>
</Column>
</Customer>
</Jobmanage>
The select statement I am using n the JSP page is
SELECT Q.QM_NUMBER, Q.QM_JOB_STATUS, Q.QM_USER_STATUS FROM QMI Q WHERE ((Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)) OR (Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (12) AND Q.QM_CLOSE_DATE >= SYSDATE - INTERVAL '6' MONTH))
Can you give me instructions how to create the above SQL statement dynamically as per the XML file. I want the select statement in a pl/sql
BEGIN
SELECT Q.QM_NUMBER, Q.QM_JOB_STATUS, Q.QM_USER_STATUS FROM QMI Q WHERE ((Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)) OR (Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (12) AND Q.QM_CLOSE_DATE >= SYSDATE - INTERVAL '6' MONTH))
END
So, when ever the columns hirerachy changed in the XML file it should show theat effect in the PL/SQl. Thats hoe I am aiming to develop.
Thankx for you time.
Cheers,
Krishna

I want the select statement in a pl/sql BEGIN
SELECT Q.QM_NUMBER, Q.QM_JOB_STATUS, Q.QM_USER_STATUS FROM QMI Q WHERE ((Q.QM_JOB_STATUS
IN (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)) OR (Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (12) AND Q.QM_CLOSE_DATE >=
SYSDATE - INTERVAL '6' MONTH)) ENDThat doesn't make sense. Such a plsql block would not compile. What is your final goal you want to achieve with this?

How to create value objects from xml

I am receiving xml back from my web service ( e4x ). I am
trying to figure out how to create a value object without having to
manually fetch each value in the value objects constructor. I am
using introspecton in my Java web service to do this. Is there such
a thing in Action Script?
Anyone done this before that can share some code???? Any help
would be very much appreciated.

That's twice now I've heard that. lol.
I am using Cairngorm and I suppose out of ignorance perhaps,
I am using VO's. So my web service would return an Object Proxy and
I have some code that could create objects dynamically from the
results. The objects had to be simple of course and now they are
becoming more complex thus the need to change to e4x instead of
objects.
So now I am trying to convert the xml result into the desired
VO to be used throughout the rest of the application. I'm not sure
how to use Cairngorm without the VO's they are tied to everything.
Are you familiar with the architecture? Your thoughts?

Remove an element from XML present in CLOB column

Hi,
I need to remove element TEST2 and TEST3 from the below XML which is present in the CLOB column of a table. I need to do this using DBMS_XMLDOM package of Oracle as my existing code is using the same -
<ROOT>
<LEAF1>
<TEST1>TEXT1</TEST1>
<TEST2>TEXT2</TEST2>
<TEST3>TEXT3</TEST3>
</LEAF1>
</ROOT>
Hence the final o/p should be like
<ROOT>
<LEAF1>
<TEST1>TEXT1</TEST1>
</LEAF1>
</ROOT>
Please suggest how to achieve this.

Something like this?

declare
t_doc dbms_xmldom.DOMDocument;
t_root dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
t_node dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
t_buf varchar2(1000);

Sql query, from xml to nested table

Hello!
I have DB table: my_table
It has 2 fields: file_id and file_data (it's clob with xml)
I need to write query that returns info from xml using nested table (Oracle v.9)
The number of rows witch will return query must be equal to number of files (file_id)
Structure of XML:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<head>
<AAA v1="a" v2="b">
<BBB p1="1" p2="2"/>
<BBB p1="3" p2="4"/>
</AAA>
<AAA v1="c" v2="d">
<BBB p1="5" p2="6"/>
<BBB p1="7" p2="8"/>
<BBB p1="9" p2="0"/>
</AAA>
</head>
I have query, witch works! but not optimally! each CLOB scaned 3 times - I want to scan it once!
SELECT an.file_id,
CAST(MULTISET(SELECT extract(VALUE(val2),'//@v1').getStringVal() v1,
extract(VALUE(val2),'//@v2').getStringVal() v2,
CAST(MULTISET(SELECT extract(VALUE(val3),'//@p1').getStringVal() p1,
extract(VALUE(val3),'//@p2').getStringVal() p2,
FROM TABLE (XMLSEQUENCE(XMLTYPE(an.file_data).EXTRACT('/head/AAA/BBB[../@v1='||extract(VALUE(val2),'//@v1').getStringVal()||']'))) val3) AS T_VAL3) info
FROM TABLE (XMLSEQUENCE(XMLTYPE(an.file_data).EXTRACT('/head/AAA'))) val2) AS T_VAL2) head
FROM (SELECT olr.*
FROM my_table olr,
TABLE (XMLSEQUENCE(XMLTYPE(file_data)).EXTRACT('/head'))) val1) an
PLEASE, help me to rewrite this query!

I assume you're using nested objects like these to hold the result?
create type t_val3_rec as object ( p1 number, p2 number );
create type t_val3 as table of t_val3_rec;
create type t_val2_rec as object ( v1 varchar2(30), v2 varchar2(30), c1 t_val3 );
create type t_val2 as table of t_val2_rec;
/then this query should work :
SELECT t.file_id
     , CAST(
         MULTISET(
           SELECT extractvalue(value(x1), '/AAA/@v1')
                , extractvalue(value(x1), '/AAA/@v2')
                , CAST(
                    MULTISET(
                      SELECT extractvalue(value(x2), '/BBB/@p1')
                           , extractvalue(value(x2), '/BBB/@p2')
                      FROM TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(value(x1), '/AAA/BBB'))) x2
                    AS t_val3
           FROM TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(value(x), '/head/AAA'))) x1
         AS t_val2
FROM my_table t
   , TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(xmltype(t.file_data), '/head'))) x

Multi-Valued Properties in XML Forms

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to select multiple values for multi-valued properties in an XML Forms. It seems that the combo box only allows you to select one value.
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Chris,
nice to hear, that you're implementing my way of solving this multi value issue. And much nicer to hear, that it seems to work for you, too!
You can not write back your multi value properties from XML form. Thats for sure. You can think of:
1. Synchronize the value of your text field property with the value of the multi value propery whenever you store the document. This could be done using the event "property set".
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5d0ab890-0201-0010-849d-98d70bd1d5f0">See: KM Events</a>
2. Overwrite the content of your multi value property at runtime, depending on the value of the single value property which holds the csv. Do this by using a Repository Filter. <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70ee3a57-0701-0010-3e9a-ddae7e4e0521">See: RepositoryFilter</a>
3. Forget about the multi value property and make the text field property indexable. This should work, too.
All three options should work!
HTH,
Carsten
