Re: posting Umlaut to XSQL

Until now I can find no solution to my posting problem (posting an umlaut from a HTML form generated by XSLT). In links I can escape characters, but in text fields I have no control over what happens.
What encodings have influence on the posted text ? Only the encoding in the receiving XSQL-file ? Or the XSLT encoding, too ?
Any help would by appreciated. Umlauts are in Germany our daily bread.
Andreas
P.S: Here is a text copied from my browser as I enter it:gerdte.
And this is what I get back: gerC$te
null

The input is expected to be in the same format as the encoding of the XSQL page template. The output format can be anything that you indicate in <xsl:output>

Urgent :post xml for xsql difference with html form post

Hi,
We are developing an application to process xml request
posted by external party. The requests arrive by
http-post operation
We developed and tested with an html-form.
Now we encounter problems in testing with http-post
The xsql page is processed correctly but
insert only fixed text when formatting xml-data as input for
the insert-request, string inserted is empty.
Everything is by the book and html-forms works great.
Is anybody else using xsql to insert xml data in the database on this version? Maybe can you help by looking into a testcase ? Issued a tar but am on terrible deadline
so need help very soon.
Details: HP-UX 11.11 Oracle 9.2.0.4 java1.4 ojdbc 1.4
Tnx in advance,
Jeroen

Mark,
Have an external partner which sends xml-requests.
Have to read those, store them and process them.
Idea is let them
1)post the xml at a url where an xsql page is reading the xml
2) transforming this for an insert into
the database. The column is defined to store the complete xml-message.
3) A trigger takes care of processing the stuff and preparing the output
4) and a query in the xsql-page reads the output from an output table
When developing and testing this with an html-form that posts the xml is works great.
$ cat newclobins.xsql
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" >
<xsql:set-session-param name="id">
select msgid.nextval from dual
</xsql:set-session-param>
<xsql:dml>
delete cbs_msg_in where id={@id}
</xsql:dml>
<xsql:insert-request table="cbs_msg_in" column="id,msg" transform="cbsform_1.xsl"/>
<data>
<xsql:query null-indicator="yes">
select msgid,msg from cbs_xml_out where msgid={@id}
</xsql:query>
</data>
</page>
$ cat cbsform_1.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xsl:version="1.0">
<xsl:for-each select="request">
<ROW>
<MSG><xsl:value-of select="parameters/doc" /></MSG>
<ID><xsl:value-of select="session/id" /></ID>
</ROW>
</xsl:for-each>
</ROWSET>
1) When using a tool like
http://www.programmersheaven.com/articles/adrian/getpost/article.html it fails with
No rows to modify -- the row enclosing tag missing. Specify the correct row enclosing tag.
2) When using the commandline utility like
xsql jeroen5.xsql posted-xml=test3.xml
this works great when inserting plain text but not
when inserting xml-format data into a column
So problem 1 is why external tools like above or my partner that uses .net to do something similar gives this strange error?
Problem nr 2 is should I stick to just the data in xml and forget about storing the xml-formatted data?
Hope you can help because I am getting quite desparate here.
Regards,
Jeroen

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:

Can XSQL write to a file?

Can XSQL write an XML fragment to a file?
I've got this notion of writing an HTML form that posts to an XSQL Page, but in the event the database is down, I'd like to be able to save the state, to the user doesn't have to enter all the information again.
null

Custom action handler can certainly write to a file. You can use the getPostedDocument() method on the XSQLRequest that you have access to from within your action handler to get the posted XML document.

XSQL-007 and list of XSQL error codes.

I have a situation where I need to replay a request if I cannot acquire a database connection, and to not replay a request otherwise. Is the XSQL-007 code the only code that deals with database connections?
XSQL-007: Cannot acquire a database connection to process page.
Do you have a published list of XSQL codes? Is there a method in java code to generate the full list of XSQL codes? For example to get a list of database error codes, one can in PL/SQL use:
set serveroutput on size 2000
begin
for i in 1..9999 loop
dbms_output.put_line ( sqlerrm(-i) ) ;
end loop ;
end ;
Steve.

There's not a way to loop through the errors in Java. Here's the list.

XSQL set-cookie

When I write an XSQL cookie, it won't actually do it until i refresh the login screen, i.e.:
1) Enter username and password into XHTML page
2) Post to auth.xsql
3) auth.xsql reads the username and password and authenticates
4) all user information for that username and password is pulled out of the database
5) attempt at writing cookie fails.
6) when i refresh the page, the cookie then has a value and shows up.
Why is this? And also, is there any way of deleting the cookie, like with a logout button, using XSQL? Maybe like XSQL:delete-cookie ?
Thanks!
Here's the code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/dvd/dvd.xsl"?>
<database connection="dvd" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:query id-attribute="" tag-case="lower" rowset-element="allusers" row-element="userinfo" bind-params="username password">
SELECT *
FROM LKUP_USER
WHERE USERNAME = ? AND PASSWORD = ? /* AND ACCESSLEVEL = 1 */
ORDER BY USER_ID
</xsql:query>
<xsql:set-cookie name="authuser" only-if-unset="no" ignore-empty-value="yes" bind-params="username password">
SELECT USERNAME
FROM LKUP_USER
WHERE USERNAME = ? AND PASSWORD = ? /* AND ACCESSLEVEL = 1 */
</xsql:set-cookie>
<xsql:include-request-params/>
</database>--
Malik Graves-Pryor

This the flat XML result when the page is first loaded:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
- <database>
- <allusers>
- <userinfo>
<user_id>1</user_id>
<firstname>Malik</firstname>
<lastname>Graves-Pryor</lastname>
<username>malik</username>
<password>malik</password>
<email>[email protected]</email>
<accesslevel>0</accesslevel>
</userinfo>
</allusers>
- <request>
- <parameters>
<password>malik</password>
<username>malik</username>
</parameters>
<session />
<cookies />
</request>
</database>and here is what it looks like when I refresh the page, doing nothing else:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
- <database>
- <allusers>
- <userinfo>
<user_id>1</user_id>
<firstname>Malik</firstname>
<lastname>Graves-Pryor</lastname>
<username>malik</username>
<password>malik</password>
<email>[email protected]</email>
<accesslevel>0</accesslevel>
</userinfo>
</allusers>
- <request>
- <parameters>
<password>malik</password>
<username>malik</username>
</parameters>
<session />
- <cookies>
<authuser>malik</authuser>
</cookies>
</request>
</database>As you can see, the cookie "authuser" is written, but only after I refresh the page. Any clues to that, and also how to delete the "authuser" cookie later on using XSQL so that one can log out of the app?
p.s.: Steven, are you going to release an updated "Building Oracle XML Applications" book anytime within the near future, i.e., next 1-3 months?

[XSQL 1000]Debugging for xsql:insert

Dear Colleagues,
Looks to me as the awareness upon the usefulness of XSQL servlet for posting FORM submissions has raised recently, and thus the need for even more documentation and examples as currently provided for the specific task.
I have successfully used the OracleXMLSave class for posting in the database of XML data, however I had difficulties in achieving the same for an FORM post.
I have consulted the following sources:
- release notes for version 1.0.0.0(S.Muench)
- example code (xsql/demo/document)(S.Muench)
- Oracle XML handbook (ISBN: 007212489X)
- XML forum in technet discussion groups.
Nevertheless, I could not find explicitly reported on how to simply see what the internal format of the XML was for a specific form submission that I was developing.
The workaround I made for the topic is to include in the xsql file which does the posting, an href which references an xsl which then should extract the content as the spec says it is formatted and then returns it ot the browser for visual inspection.
Nevertheless, would there be a better solution (to see what the Servlet has generated before submitting for insertion) it would be great to know.
Looking forward your comments
and very many compliments to Oracle and to Steve Muench (and colleagues) for the really useful and powerful system they have developed.
Regards
Sincerely
Luca

Dear Colleagues,
following the instructions from Steve as in his posting of January 10th in support to the topic "Generating XML from HTML form", I have just written an action handler that "does the job" of showing the XML that the servlet has internally generated (or at least I believe so) before doing the internal OracleXMLSave call.
I attach hereafter the code as well as what I have done to get it to work and will appreciate feedback .
OS Linux (Suse 6.3)
HTTPD Apache 1.3.9 (off-the shelf from Suse 6.3) made on Nov 13,1999
SERVLET Tomcat 3.1
JAVA jdk1.2.2
ORACLE 8.1.6 (also called 8iR2)
1) save the appended document in "GetPostedDocument.java"
2) compile the java code
I have done this with the jdk1.2.2 on Linux, installed under /usr/lib/jdk1.2.2, and after coyping all the jar distributed in the xsql servlet 1.0.0.0 to the local compiling directory
/usr/lib/jdk1.2.2/bin/javac -classpath "/usr/lib/jdk1.2.2/lib/classes.zip:xmlparserv2.jar:.:oraclexsql.jar:oraclexmlsql.jar:servlet.jar" GetPostedDocument.java
3) copied GetPostedDocument.class to the tomcat lib location, and made sure it had the right permissions, namely to /usr/local/httpd/jakarta-tomcat/lib as a+rx
4) stopped and started the httpd + servlet
In my setting (that is the default I believe for tomcat 3.1), any file placed in the tomcat's lib directory is automatically loaded on startup in the CLASSPATH
rcapache stop
rcapache start
5) added to the xsql page handling the post,
the following xsql action handler
<xsql:action handler="GetPostedDocument"/>
6) reloaded the calling xsql page
What happens now is that upon submission I get back XML code which has been submitted ... exactely what I wanted. Perhaps is not what everybody needs, but it is already for me a starting step to proceed with debugging of my XSL to understand why the feeding into Oracle did not work (clearly the fault of the reformatting XSL which did not generate OracleXMLSave "canonical format").
Thankyou and Compliments, Steve, for such a beatiful package ! It is REALLY USEFUL.

Xsl variable error not explained in earlier thread

Steve,
Thank you so much for your response to my earlier thread, it is difficult to focus on what I am supposed to be doing today, with all the sad news from the east coast.
Re-visiting this variable issue one more time to try understand what is going wrong with this file.
Below is a shortened version of the file plus the output from parsing it with xalan, saxon and oracle's two latest versions. As you see it parses fine with xalan and saxon but errors out with oracle's latest version. Should this be looked at again perhaps?

Yeah!!! It works. Turned out to be a combination of DrKlap's and Martisan's suggestions -- had to change var frame's declaration from JFrame to MyFrame:
    MyFrame frame;Next, created the external class -- but again changed JFrame references to MyFrame:
public class ShowOnExit extends WindowAdapter {
//   JFrame aFrame;
   MyFrame aFrame;
   public ShowOnExit(MyFrame f) {
      aFrame = f;
   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
      System.out.println("Why me???" + aFrame.textArea.getText()); // aFrame here not frame !!!
}This worked. So looks like even though the original code added a WindowListener to 'frame', the listener didn't couldn't access frame's methods unless it was explicitly passed in as a parameter. Let me know if that's wrong.
Thanks again, all.

"Not working" is not much information to go on. So I will just throw out some ideas. First make sure you are actually passing the parameters to your transform. Second, use XPath expressions that actually select something from your XML. The ones you are using are looking for a TYPE element that's the child of a PARAM element (that has a NAME child with a particular value), and there are no such elements in your example.

INSERT INTO MANAGER

I have an xslt script which is linked to a xsql query which displays gtype in a drop down box. I have a bunch of text boxes to input details to the database. How ever, I need to find a way to look up what has been selected in the drop down box which dislays gtype to put into the insert statement which only accepts the groupID. Would I have to use some kind of trigger of perhaps make another view and insert from there??
Any help would be great..

Instead of using:
value="<% request.getParameter("MyTextarea") %>"
use:
value="*"
This will cause the container to find all the variable
in your jsp page and link them with the variables
of the same name in your bean.
Then in your bean use MyTextarea as a variable
in a method called processRequest(HttpServeletRequest
httpservletrequest).
You can then call processRequest in your
jsp page by:
name.processRequest(MyTextarea);
Remember that if you are trying to import
text area input from a form, you need to
enclose the text area <input> tags with
<form> tags

Multiple selections in an HTML form

The option selector (<select>...</select>) in an HTML form allows the
user to make multiple selections. However, when the form parameters
are posted to an XSQL page, only the first value selected will be
assigned to the corresponding XSQL parameter.
This is very unfortunate, because I would like the selected values to
be used in a query like this:
<xsql:query>
select ...
from ...
where ...
and elem in ({@list})
and ...
</xsql:query>
where 'list' is the name of the option selector. However, since only
the first value selected is substituted, the query does not work.
The <xsql:include-request-params/> will "rowify" the values selected,
but this can only be utilized by a style sheet associated with the
XSQL page.
Does anyone know how to get access to all the selected values in the
XSQL page?
HELP!

Hi,
Here is an approach that may work for you.
In the registration process, assign each individual a userid... e.g. bob123.
When they log into your site, create a SESSION variable, SESSION.userid = bob123.
In your db, for every player have two fields, one is the userid of the person that is attached to that player, and another field for the jersey number. You could also have a field for assigned/unassigned.
Populate the grid with the unassigned players. Have the empty jersey number field on the grid and make it editable. When an individual assigns a jersey number to the person, (you can have them update after each person selected or at the end), you can let a cfc update the db and using their SESSION.userid, they become the "owner" of that player. The update also will update the db with their jersey number. The update can also turn them from unassigned to assigned so noone else can "claim" them.
Now anytime the user logs in, they'll have their players, easy to get to using a WHERE sql statement = WHERE SESSION.userid = bob123.

Transaction support

Hi,
I'm inserting multiple rows into a table from a large XML document posted to a XSQL page. I would like the update to be handled like "all or nothing". Is it possible to handle the inserts as one transaction ?

Oracle xsl processor

How can I configure jdeveloper to use another xsl processor rather than the oracle processor?

Remove xmlparserv2.jar, which has the XSLT clases from Classpath & add another XSLT processor to Classpath.
Also please refer to a previous post.
Run XSQL servlet with an alternate XSLT Processor

XML tag with attributes and one value via XSU

I need to generate a XML structure with attributes in the opening tag, and just one value in the body, like this:
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE NET-PRICE="0" CURRENCY="USD">9.99</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
Without an object type, I can just create tags like this
XML3
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>9.99</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
(with no attributes, but a single value) via the followig statement
SELECT sys_xmlgen ('9.99',
sys.xmlgenformattype.createFormat('PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE')
).getClobVal() "XML3"
FROM DUAL;
Having an object "productlisteprice_type", defined by
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE productlisteprice_type AS OBJECT
"@NET-PRICE" VARCHAR2(10),
"@CURRENCY" VARCHAR2(10),
"PRICE" VARCHAR2(20)
I just get XML like this
XML2
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE NET-PRICE="0" CURRENCY="USD">
<PRICE>9.99</PRICE>
</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
(with attributes, but no direct value beneath the "PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE" tag) via the following statement
SELECT sys_xmlgen ( productlisteprice_type(0,'USD','9.99'),
sys.xmlgenformattype.createFormat('PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE')
).getClobVal() "XML2"
FROM DUAL;
Not what I need :-(
Are there any possibilities in XSU to get the needed XML code? Or do I have to do some post-production via XSQL???
Another question: Is it possible to use specific keywords like "online" as XML tagnames, via objects? The objects don't allow "online" as a field name...
Thanks in advance,
Holger
