Export Question Slides XML to Moodle
I have several quizzes built in captivate 3 that i want to
export the questions as xml and then import them to moodle using
xml. I know i can run a scorm package on moodle with my quiz, but
i'm trying to actually use my questions as part of a moodle quiz so
i need to be able to import them as XML. when i just export my
captivate quiz as XML and then try the import Moodle XML function i
get errors. Any ideas?
Thanks,
DaveThanks so much for your help so far, Paul
Everything works great, except when trying to use the Export button from Reader. (It works as expected in Pro)
The file has been reader extended, so save works, but our developers need the ability to click that Export button from Reader and get an XML file. Any ideas if this is possible or how the code can be tweaked so it will work for Reader?
Thanks! -
I need help with a question regarding XML
I have an exam tomorrow, and I was checking exams from previous years. There is a multiple choice question regarding XML, and I don't know all the correct answers (some are pretty obvious).
It's plattform independent
It allows UML representation
It's a Text Only format
It's faster to process than native binary formats
It's a data exchange standard
It allows specification of the meaning of the data in the document
It comes from HTML
.NET and J2EE provide tools to handle itIn the beginning there was SGML... the newest HTML
standard is an XML defined language (although most
sites and pages are still not XML compliant). Soyou
can think of HTML as a subset of XML but XML isnot
by any means a subset of HTML.But wasn't XML's format based on the original HTML?
That is, XML is a generalization of the original
HTML. So, the "true"/"false" determination depends
on how you define "It comes from HTML" (I thought it
was derived from HTML, which would make the
statement "true" [IMHO], but I could be wrong).No XML is not derived from HTML. Markup languages existed well before HTML. HTML popularized them to a large extent but it was not the first by any means.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Markup_Language
Also Wiki states in it's XML article that XML is a subset of SGML (which through that article) is a descendent of GML
The language heirarchy from SGML is as follows
SGML ---- HTML (old spec and deprecated)
|
|
----- XML ----- XHTML (current XML spec)edit: the tree got screwed up. XML descends from SGML directly.

Some questions on xml db content connector
As we know, Oracle XML DB Content Connector implements JSR-170 in XML DB 11g.
After reading the related document about XML DB Content Connector, I have some questions as follows.
1. Is XML DB Content Connector API available only for XML DB 11g? or can be used in xml db 10g?
2.The document said "You can find additional sample code in the following location:
$ORACLE_HOME/xdk/demo/jcr",
and where can I get the sample code if I haven't install oracle 11g?
ThanksPlease contact me at : [email protected] for further discussion.

Question about XML validation against schema
My question is probably a basic one about XML. I tried PurchaseOrder example from the book "J2EE Web Services" by Richard Monson-Haefel. A simplified version as followings -
Address.xsd -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address"
xmlns:addr="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<element name="address" type="addr:USAddress" />
<complexType name="USAddress">
<sequence>
<element name="name" type="string" />
<element name="street" type="string" />
<element name="city" type="string" />
<element name="state" type="string" />
<element name="zip" type="string" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</schema>
PurchaseOrder.xsd -
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/PurchaseOrder"
xmlns:po="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/PurchaseOrder"
xmlns:ad="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<import namespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address" schemaLocation="Address.xsd" />
<element name="purchaseOrder" type="po:PurchaseOrder" />
<complexType name="PurchaseOrder">
<sequence>
<element name="accountName" type="string" />
<element name="accountNumber" type="unsignedShort" />
<element name="shipAddress" type="ad:USAddress" />
<element name="total" type="float" />
</sequence>
<attribute name="orderDate" type="date" />
</complexType>
</schema>
Then PurchaseOrder.xml is -
<purchaseOrder orderDate="2007-12-12"
xmlns='http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/PurchaseOrder'
xmlns:addr="http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:schemaLocation='http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/PurchaseOrder ../xsd/PurchaseOrder.xsd'>
<accountName>Starwood</accountName>
<accountNumber>220</accountNumber>
<shipAddress>
<name>Data Center</name>
<street>1501 Washington St.</street>
<city>Braintree</city>
<state>MA</state>
<zip>02148</zip>
</shipAddress>
<total>250</total>
</purchaseOrder>
Then I did a XML validation but have this error -
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'name'. One of '{"http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address":name}' is expected. [19]
It complains <name> tag in <shipAddrss> needs namespace of "http://xml.netbeans.org/schema/Address". Why?
Is it possible to change XML so it does not need name space for elements inside <shipAddress>?
ThanksHi Madhura,
see here my comparison of the web version against the local file version on my Windows box (which is itself not the fastest): It makes a factor 16 in difference!

Obviously, the w3c.org domain that you specified as ressource location is very slow - and, as the FAQ shows, this delay is intentional!
The W3C servers are slow to return DTDs. Is the delay intentional?
Yes. Due to various software systems downloading DTDs from our site millions of times a day (despite the caching directives of our servers), we have started to serve DTDs and schema (DTD, XSD, ENT, MOD, etc.) from our site with an artificial delay. Our goals in doing so are to bring more attention to our ongoing issues with excessive DTD traffic, and to protect the stability and response time of the rest of our site. We recommend HTTP caching or catalog files to improve performance.
--> They don't want to have requests to their site from productive servers all around the world.

Question? XML Publisher Desktop
Hi Folks,
I'm exploring this option for my organization and I have a question or two.
I have remote users logging in to develop their reports. Is the XML Publisher Desktop required to build their reports or is it only a nice to have? If they're sufficiently good at SQL and XML can they bypass this application?
If not, does the XML Publisher Desktop cost anything to install on these remote machines?
Thanks,
TonyHi Tony
They do not need the XMLP desktop, they can either build templates in MSWord or handcode the XSL directly. The tools do not cost any extra once you have licensed XMLP.

Questions on XML Publisher/Site Level Configuration
We are using BI Publisher 5.6.3 in EBS 11i. I am looking for guidance on setting the FO Processing properties.
On the Administration/Configuration Tab there are no values visible for a number of the FO Processing properties including:
Use XML Publisher's XSLT processor
Enable Scalable feature of XSLT processor
Enable XSLT runtime optimization
Also, there are no entries in xdo_config_values table. Does this mean that site values are set to default? And if so, are these the correct values for the defaults?
Use XML Publisher's XSLT processor - TRUE
Enable Scalable feature of XSLT processor - FALSE
Enable XSLT runtime optimization - TRUE
If these are in fact the defaults, I have read in numerous threads that setting 'Enable Scalable feature of XSLT processor' to TRUE can help with performance. Does this only work if the XML is large, or will it also help if you have very complex .rtf templates (multiple levels of dynamic grouping, pagebreaks, nested tables, sums, etc.)? If the complexity is in the .rtf template itself, is it best to set this property 'Enable Scalable feature of XSLT processor' at the template level? When would it be best to set at the site level? At the data definition level?
I've tried changing this property on a few templates and the outcome doesn't seem predictable. In some cases it seems to improve performance and in other cases there is a decrease in performance. I can't seem to pinpoint why it works in some cases and not others.
Any additional information would be appreciated.
Thank you for your help,
Tam.
Edited by: Tam_11 on May 11, 2010 3:09 PMHi Nabendu.
BI publisher does have the option of showing a running total in PDF format usign a RTF template. If you look up the advanced rtf samples provided with the BI publisher plugin there is one example to show running totals, with the previous page total at the top.
you can find this located on your PC where the Word Plugin is installed. C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\samples\RTF templates
replace C:\ with the drive leeter of the drive where your desktop plugin is installed
Hope this Helps,

Question about xml schemas and the use of unqualified nested elements
Hello,
I have the following schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS"
targetNamespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS"
elementFormDefault="unqualified">
<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="age" type="xsd:int"/>
<xsd:element name="person">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element ref="name"/>
<xsd:element ref="age"/>
<xsd:element name="height" type="xsd:int"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>I am just wondering why would someone have a nested element that is unqualified? here the "height" element.
Can anyone explain this to me please?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.
here is an instance xml document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<person xmlns='http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS'
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:schemaLocation='http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS file:/E:/dev/java/XML/WebApplicationXML/web/newXMLSchemaThree.xsd'>
<name>toto</name>
<age>40</age>
<height>180</height>
</person>Don't worry about it.
There are two different styles of schemas. In one style, you define the elements, attributes, etc. at the top, and then use the "ref" form to refer to them. (I call this the "global" style.) The other style is to define elements inline where they are used. ("local" style)
Within some bounds, they work the same and which you use is a choice of you and the tools that generate the schemas.
A warning about the local style. It is possible to define an element in two different locations in the schema that are different. It will get past all schema validation, but it seems wrong to my sense of esthetics. With the global style, this will not happen.
So, how did this happen? Probably one person did the schema when it only had a name and age. Then, someone else added the height element. They either used a different tool, or preferred the other style. I'm aware of no difference in the document you have described between the two styles.

Question about XML file transferring over the networking
Hi, I am now to Java, and now I am going to set up a simple network in the lab.
I have created a random array of data and transferred to XML file on my client. Now, I would like to send it to the server. I am wondering how I can put the XML file into my client, and do I need any parser to let the server show what random date it has received?
Anybody can give me any idea or some basic code? Thank you.
Now, I am referring the KnockKnock example in Java online tutorial. But, not clear how to deal with the XML File.

A few questions with XML and Flash
Hi there.
I am currently trying to create a 3d carousel using AS2 and XML. I've made a lot of progress, but there ar e few things I am still struggling with and was hopoing that someone here could please steer me in the right direction.
Here is a URL where the Carousel can be found:

Here are a few of the things I am wondering:
1. I would like to be ablle to add a back button movide clip, similar to how the tooltip movie clip is presented now; this movie clip would be able to allow users to go back home to the caousel. I can't seem to get it to load correctly however, I would imagine that it would be set up similarly to how the tooltip icon is set up now, but to be able to have an alpha of 100 when the text is loaded in.
2. I was also wondering how I mihgt be able to add links to my .xml document to be able to call in URLs on the web. I've tried several things using the CDATA approach, but can't seem to get it to work.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance privded and am very greatful for any consideration thac ould be provided. Please let me know if there is anything htat I should clarify on.

Question: Which XML parser is built into JDK14.2?
Is it Crimson, Xerces ?
Do you know which version ?
When using inbuilt XML parser with JDK 1.4.2 which API shoudl I look at ?
Is it only the standard JDK API at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api ?It is crimson and its version is 1.1.3

Question: crossdomain.xml without web server
Hi, Flex Gurus,
In case where I want to use Flex to communicate with a
non-web server machine, e.g. mysql, where should the
crossdomain.xml reside on the non-web server machine?
thanks,
swWell at that point you would put it where ever Flex can load
the file locally and do Security.loadPolicyFile("url"). However if
you are going to be using a socket for the connection I'm pretty
sure crossdomain.xml isn't what you're looking for, with the recent
security changes to the Flash Player I think you are looking more
for a Socket Policy File. You can read up on what I'm talking about
here at the following link.

Hi,
How can I "include" xml file to another xml file?
I want to different in one xml file some header reports...for once!!!
then to call (include) from all athers xml files to this header.
(instead all the time to write the same rows.. :))
Thanks.
I'm new in xml topic.XSLT seems to be your choice, but standard API's can also be used for this purpose.

Somple question about xml structure
xml file is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<properties>
<category>
<timeout>60</timeout>
<timeout>100</timeout>
</category>
</properties>
and want to use DOM in java to get the nodelist information,
Element root=doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList nodelist = root.getChildNodes();
for(int i = 0;i<nodelist.getLength();i++)
System.out.println(nodelist.tostring());
System.out.println(nodelist.getLength());
System.out.println(nodelist.getNodeType());
but the output is:
<properties>
<category>
<timeout>60</timeout>
<timeout>100</timeout>
</category>
</properties>
3 //why here the nodelist.length is 3?which 3?
3
<properties>
<category>
<timeout>60</timeout>
<timeout>100</timeout>
</category>
</properties>
3
1
<category>
<timeout>60</timeout>
<timeout>100</timeout>
</category>
5 //why is 5? which 5?
3
<category>
<timeout>60</timeout>
<timeout>100</timeout>
</category>
5
1
<timeout>60</timeout>
1 //here is just 1?

<category>
<timeout>60</timeout>
<timeout>100</timeout>
</category>

why all the node.getNodeType is 3, 3 means that they are all Text type?
thankssome wrong.sorry
the code is :
Element root=doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList nodelist = root.getChildNodes();
for(int i = 0;i<nodelist.getLength();i++)
System.out.println(nodelist.item(i).tostring());
System.out.println(nodelist.item(i).getLength());
System.out.println(nodelist.item(i).getNodeType());

Question about XML DOM de-bugging.
I have programmed the following class as an excercise in using the DOM and in recursion.
I'm having trouble,however, in debugging my iterate() method.
Sometimes it fails to print certain outer tags.
I'm faily confident there aren't any problems in using entirely static methods in the class.
I simply want it to iterate over all Nodes in the xml document,
and print them to the file in correct order.
Is there anyone out there who could debug my iterate() method?
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import java.io.*;

private static PrintStream stream;
public static void main (String [] args)
try
DocumentBuilderFactory builderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = builderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
File file = new File("cd-catalog.xml");
Node child = null;
Document document = builder.parse(file);
Node element = (Node)document.getDocumentElement();
stream = new PrintStream(new File("SCREEN_OUTPUT.txt"));
iterate(element);
stream.close();
catch (Exception e)
{e.printStackTrace();}
public static void iterate(Node element) //bug in this method.
if(element instanceof Node)
peekNode(element);
peekAttributes(element);
Node [] children = getChildren(element);
if(children instanceof Node[])
