  • How to create a text file or XML file  and add content through  code into it...

    Hi Everyone,
    How to create a text file and add content through the code to the text file eform javascript ......orelse can we create a text file in life cycle designer...
    Else say how to create a new XML file through the code and how some content like Example "Hello World".

    You can create a text file as a file attachment (data object) using the doc.createDataObject and doc.setDataObjectContents:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.528.html
    You can then export the file with the doc.exportDataObject method:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.463.html
    This won't work with Reader if it hasn't been given the file attachment usage right with LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

  • Parse XML file and extract data

    I'd like to parse an XML file and get some data extracted as columns.
    Input file country.xml:

    <Country ObjectId="100000000000000009" VersionId="8"><Id>1</Id><NlTexts><Name Language="de">Land1</Name><Name Language="en">Country1</Name></NlTexts></Country>

    </MAS>
    I'd like to parse the xmlfile in order to get the following output
    Required result:
    col1        col2           col3
    1            Land1        Country1
    2            Land2        Country2

    <Id>2</Id>

    Thanks,

    Here are a few examples.
    For your required output :
    SELECT *
    FROM XMLTable(
           '/MAS/Country'
           passing XMLType(bfilename('TEST_DIR', 'country.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
           columns col1 number       path 'Id'
                 , col2 varchar2(30) path 'NlTexts/Name[1]'
                 , col3 varchar2(30) path 'NlTexts/Name[2]'
    or, if the Language attribute is significant :
    SELECT *
    FROM XMLTable(
           '/MAS/Country'
           passing XMLType(bfilename('TEST_DIR', 'country.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
           columns col1 number       path 'Id'
                 , col2 varchar2(30) path 'NlTexts/Name[@Language="de"]'
                 , col3 varchar2(30) path 'NlTexts/Name[@Language="en"]'
    For your alternate output :
    SELECT x1.col1
         , x2.col2
         --, x2.col3
    FROM XMLTable(
           '/MAS/Country'
           passing XMLType(bfilename('TEST_DIR', 'country.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
           columns col1  number  path 'Id'
                 , names xmltype path 'NlTexts/Name'
         ) x1
       , XMLTable(
           '/Name'
           passing x1.names
           columns col2 varchar2(30) path '.'
                 --, col3 for ordinality
         ) x2
    (uncomment col3 to see what it does)
    or, in a shorter way :
    SELECT *
    FROM XMLTable(
           'for $i in /MAS/Country
              , $j in $i/NlTexts/Name
            return element r { $i/Id, $j }'
           passing XMLType(bfilename('TEST_DIR', 'country.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
           columns col1 number       path 'Id'
                 , col2 varchar2(30) path 'Name'

  • How to read XML file and write into another XML file

    Hi all, I am new to JAVAXML.
    My problem is I have to read one XML file and take some Nodes from that and write these nodes into another XML file...
    I solved, how to read XML file
    But I don't know how to Write nodes into another XML.
    Can anyone help in this???
    Thanks in advance..

    This was answered a bit ago. There was a thread called "XML Mergine" that started on Sept 14th. It has a lot of information about what it takes to copy nodes from one XML Document object into another.

  • How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

    How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
    Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh  f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
    Thank you!

    Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
    Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

  • Parse xml file and extract tags (not well formed)

    im writing an xml editor and i would like to extract tags from a string of xml. And the string doesnt have to be well formed xml.
    An example "</a><b asd="kjkj"></b>"
    Output
    end tag (a)
    start tag (b)
    end tag (b)
    Sax nor stax does the job since they want well formed document. and i dont want to write a parser myself.
    any suggestions

    im writing an xml editor and i would like to extract
    tags from a string of xml. And the string doesnt have
    to be well formed xml.Then you aren't writing an XML editor. And as you observe, existing parsers don't work for you because they are don't have the requirement to process garbage. Where did you get that requirement from, anyway?

    You will need to use Oracle XML function EXTRACT or EXTRACTVALUE in order to read the data before inserting into Oracle table. These functions need to be used in select statement.
    Syntax:
    EXTRACT(XMLType_Instance>, <XPath_string>, <namespace_string>)
    EXTRACTVALUE(XMLType_Instance>, <XPath_string>, <namespace_string>)

  • Parse exisitng xml file and recreate another xml file with different struct

    Is it possible in java using dom parser to parse an exisiting xml file and recreate a new xml file from data obtained by parsing old xml file.
    I checked on old forum threads and everywhere either parsing xml file has been explained or creating new xml file from scratch has been shown.
    Any examples/guidance will be appreciated....

    The general process is:
    Document dom1 = ... // the parsed document
    Document dom2 = ... // new document constructed on the fly
    Node nD1 = ... // some random node found in dom1
    // copy the node from dom1 and associate with dom2
    Node nD2 = dom2.importNode(nD1, true);
    // ... treat nD2 as a node which can now be inserted into dom2 ...
    Node otherD2 =  ... // some other node already in dom2
    otherD2.appendChild(nD2);Note, in this example the nD1 node is copied (including any sub-nodes) into a new node, nD2. You can alternately move the node from one Document to another using Document.adoptNode(), however this may fail (see the javadoc).

  • Reading A xml file and sending that XML Data as input  to a Service

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to read(I am using File adapter to read) a xml file and map the data in that xml to a service(schema) input variable.
    Example of  xml file that I have to read and the content of that xml file like below:
      <StudentList>
        <student>
           <Name> ravi</Name>
           <branch>EEE</branch>
          <fathername> raghu</fathername>
        </student>
      <student>
           <Name> raju</Name>
           <branch>ECE</branch>
          <fathername> ravi</fathername>
        </student>
    <StudentList>
    I have to pass the data(ravi,EEE,raghu etc) to a service input varible. That invoked Service input variable(schema) contains the schema similar to above schema.
    My flow is like below:
      ReadFile file adapter -------------------> BPEL process -----> Target Service.I am using transform activity in BPEL process to map the data from xml file to Service.
    I am using above xml file as sample in Native Data format(to create XSD schema file).
    After I built the process,I checked file adapter polls the data and receive the file(I am getting View xml document in EM console flow).
    But transform activity does not have anything and it is not mapping the data.I am getting blank data in the transform activity with only element names like below
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------EM console Audit trail (I am giving this because u can clearly understand what is happening-----------------------------------------------------
       -ReceiveFile
            -some datedetails      received file
              View XML document  (This xml contains data and structure like above  xml )
        - transformData:
            <payload>
              <InvokeService_inputvariable>
                  <part name="body">
                     <StudentList>

                   </StudentList>
              </part>
             </InvokeService_inputvariable>
    'Why I am getting like this".Is there any problem with native data format configuration.?
    Please help me out regarding this issue as I am running out my time.

    Hi syam,
    Thank you very much for your replies so far so that I have some progrees in my task.
    As you told I could have put default directory in composite.xml,but what happenes is the everyday new final subdirectory gets created  in the 'soafolder' folder.What I mean is in  the c:/soafolder/1234_xmlfiles folder, the '1234_xmlfiles' is not manually created one.It is created automatically by executing some jar.
    Basically we can't know the sub folder name until it is created by jar with its own logic. whereas main folder is same(soafolder) ever.
    I will give you example with our folder name so that it would be more convenient for us to understand.
    1) yesterday's  the folder structure :  'c:/soafolder/130731_LS' .The  '130731_LS' folder is created automatically by executing some jar file(it has its own logic to control and create the subdirectories which is not in our control).
    2) Today's folder structure :  'c:/soafolder/130804_LS. The folder is created automatically(everytime the number part(130731,130804).I think that number is indicating 2013 july 31 st like that.I have to enquire about this)is changing) at a particular time and xml files will be loaded in the folder.
    Our challenge : It is not that we can put the default or further path in composite.xml and poll the file adapter.Not everytime we have to change the path in composite.xml.The process should know the folder path (I don't know whether it is possible or not.) and  everyday and file adapter poll the files in that created subfolders.
    I hope you can understand my requirement .Please help me out in this regard.

  • Read  an XML file and send it to client

    Hi,
    I'm introducing to servlet development and I'm trying to do some AJAX calls. The client side is implemented, but I have some troubles on the server side. I want to open an XML file and send it to the client. How can I do that? Any special header?
    I have implemented this test in PHP, so you can imagine what I would like to do:
    if ($type == "xml"){
         $xml = "";
         $file = fopen ("file.xml", "r");
         while (!feof ($file)){
              $xml .= fgets ($file, 4096);
         fclose ($file);
         header ("Content-type: text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1");
         echo $xml;
    }The XML file is:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
    <users>
         <user>
              <name>Pepe</name>
              <age>18</age>
         </user>
         <user>
              <name>María</name>
              <age>21</age>
         </user>
    </users>Thanks.

    Not very useful:(.
    This is my code:
    PrintWriter out = null;
            try{
                   String type = request.getParameter ("type");
                   if (type.equals ("xml")){
                        response.setContentType ("text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1");
                        out = response.getWriter ();
                        String xml =
                             "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>" +
                             "<users>" +
                                  "<user>" +
                                       "<name>Pepe</name>" +
                                       "<age>18</age>" +

                        out.println (xml);
            }finally{
                out.close ();
            }This code works. The servlet send back the xml and the client shows the content but, as you can see, i'm not reading the xml file. So my problem is on reading the xml file as a plain text. My code is this:
    response.setContentType ("text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1");
                        out = response.getWriter ();
                        String xml = "";
                        FileReader fr = null;
                        BufferedReader br = null;
                        try{
                             fr = new FileReader (new File ("file.xml"));
                             br = new BufferedReader (fr);
                             String linea;
                             while ((linea = br.readLine ()) != null){
                                  xml += linea;
                                  //System.out.println (linea);
                             fr.close ();
                        }catch (Exception e){
                             e.printStackTrace ();
                        }But now I get an Exception File not found. The xml file is in the web directory (I'm using net beans 6.8). Where I have to put the file?
    Thanks.

  • Hi, extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file

    i am searching code to extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file by a java program. I understood it is easy to extract data from a xml file, and how ever without creating another xml file. We want to insert the extracted data into another exiting xml file. Suggestions?
    1st xml file which has two lines(text1.xml)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
    <xs:PrintDataRequest xmlns:xs="http://com.unisys.com/Anid"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://com.unisys.com/Anid file:ANIDWS.xsd">
    <xs:Person>
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://com.unisys.com/Anid file:ANIDWS.xsd">
    These two lines has to be inserted in the existing another xml(text 2.xml) file(at line 3 and 4)
    Regards,
    bubbly

    RandomAccessFile? If you know where you want to insert it.Are you sure about this? If using this, the receiving file would have to have bytes inserted that exactly match the number of bytes replaced. I'm thinking that you'll likely have to stream through the second XML with a SAX parser and copy information (or insert new information) as you stream with an XML writer of some sort.
