Reading in an xml template

I want to create an MS word template in xml, put a set of "fields" in it, read it into my java program, put in variables instead of the fields and then output it.
I know it is possible i just dont know how to do it. The fields will be like ##date## and i'll be using replaceAll() to put in to variables. Has anybody out there done anything like this before or know anything that might be of help.
thanks

Now I understand what you're saying. You're talking about the xml-format that word says it supports ... never looked into it, but I'll asume for a moment that it's real XML ;-)
DOM is the document object model and is the in-memory representation of an XML structure (see the API of org.w3c.dom for documentation). You get it by parsing the XML file with an XML parser (google for a tutorial, if needed, it's not that hard).
You shouldn't treat an XML file as a plain text file (i.e. just read line by line, replacing stuff), because XML got too many little things to consider and it's much easier to let the XML parser handle that stuff).

Flilter webpart to read the data from XML template

Hi
Is there any out of the box webpart to read data from xml file for filtering in sharepoint 2010.
The filter dialog look like following functionality and allow to select only one value.
.Paretn1
     chiild1
     child2
.Parent2
    child1
     child2
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to read data from xml file with the out of the box web part.
There is no out of the box web part for us to read the data from the xml file in SharePoint 2010.
However, you can create your own custom web part to achieve it.
There are some articles about the read the xml file, you can have a look at them.

Working with Flash content in XML template

My knowledge base of html and DWCS3 is limited. My knowledge of Flash CS3 is better and have built a web site using it.
This is a newbie DW question. Am working on an XML template, which contained the following folders:
site_flash folder containing: main_v8.swf, tfile_main.xml, style.css, index (firefox doc) (+gallery stuff)
flash folder containing: main_v8.swf, main_v8.fla, tfile_main.xml, AC_RunActiveContent (JSS file) (+gallery stuff)
I was told by the template people to use the site_flash folder but there are no visuals (Design views), to work with and could not access Flash through DW to alter the files in Flash. When I can get a Design view in DW, all I get is the f symbol. In all the tutorials I've watched on DW, there is a Design view to work with.
SO, I used the flash folder and adjusted the main layout in the .fla file to suit my needs, and worked on the tfile_main.xml document in DW and they seemed to be 'talking' as my changes were recognized. When I test the file from either Flash or DW, it is perfect. But when I run it from my test folder through the server, the page formatting is off (page pushed down, menu buttons squashed, etc). There is no style.css sheet in the flash folder.
Am willing to go back and start over with the site_flash folder with CSS page if this will resolve things, but don’t know how to edit the flash layout through DW. I need a Design view…am very weak in the html side of things.
Test run: http://www.mackenziemode.com.au/test.html
Any advice you can give would be helpful.
The Not-feeling-so-Handy Ma'am

In followup to my own frenzied query, in case anyone else is having the same problem, the solution to the 'squashed'
web site (that's works perfectly on testing outside the browser) is to upload the main.xml file in binary mode.

Issue generating pdf from xml template, data and StreamServer webservices

We purchased Abode LiveCycle Premium Print ES4. It included a product called StreamServe which we planned to use to merge xml templates and data into a pdf file using a StreamServe webservice (for developers). It seems the StreamServe webservices are not equal to that task. Can anyone offer a hint how this automated pdf generation can be achieved using LCPP? (I suspect it can be done using Workbench but I don't know this to be a fact.)
TIA,
Bill

Was that another shameless book plug??
Sorry, gotta run. I just got word the Fed Ex delivery of my copy of your book just arrived. Do you 'e-sign' personalized copies?
p.s. The preview of Chapter 7 (Transforming XML with XSLT) is great and filled with good clean examples and explanation.

XSL-XML Templates

Hello,
My requirement is generate xml output file using BI Publisher. I think xsl-xml template will generate xml output from xml extract.
Is there a easy way of developing xsl-xml templates using BI Publisher for given XML Extract? I know we can write a xsl file manually but looking for a tool where I can drag and drop. I read this article: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/building_xsl_templates
However, In my Jdev, I do not see an option of Inregration tier to map. Any info. on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have changed the filter but still not showing up Integration tier. I am on JDev 11g Release2. Please let me know if I have to switch to different version of JDev or any other settings that I need to do.
Thanks again for your info.

OBIEE Writeback error - The system is unable to read the Write Back Templat

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up the write back feature for one of the reports. All the set up up including XML file in the custommessage folder is done.Ensured the webmessage name tag value (pmet_update) is same as the one used in the report write back template value etc.
Also the server is restarted after the latest XML file(as shown below) is copied after all type of debugging with similar threads on this matter.
But when i click on the update button in the report (button is highlighted), i'm getting the error
"The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'pmet_update'. Please contact your system administrator."
here is the xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="pmet_update">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="PMTCOG">
<insert></insert>
<update> UPDATE XREF_PMET_URL SET URL= '@{c1}' WHERE API='@{c0}'</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Could you please help?

Hi,
I think that you have to spacify also an SQL statement for the update tag, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="pmet_update">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="PMTCOG">
<insert> select null from dual</insert>
<update> UPDATE XREF_PMET_URL SET URL= '@{c1}' WHERE API='@{c0}'</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
The witeback wants for both the tags (<insert></insert> and <update></update>) an SQL Statement.
For me it works.
Let me know!

But, the update button is on.

10g - write back - The system is unable to read the Write Back Template

hi,experts,
I enabled write back on a report.
the button (write back) is enabled (not grey)
but when I click the button, there is a message
The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'UPDATETESTWRITEBACK'. Please contact your system administrator.
I put UPDATETESTWRITEBACK.XML in C:\OracleBI\web\msgdb\customMessages
the syntax in the xml is correct.
what is the result? any log to check?

Its not mandatory to have the same template name as your xml file name.
But the <WebMessage name= "UPDATETESTWRITEBACK"> should be same what the templetae you are using in the webcat.
Please find sampel xml which can have any xyz name in the folder "OracleBIData\web\msgdb\customMessages'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web.messageSystem">

Procedure for read/write an XML-File using UCCX9

Hi Team!
Is there someone who can explain me the procedure of reading/writing an XML-File using Cisco UCCX Rel. 9.0?
In the last couple of days I did a lot of research on the partner community as well as reading the CRS-Editor-PDFs.
But I can’t find a solution.
There are some templates available but they all didn’t seem to work.
I have two xml-files, both uploaded to “Document Management\en_us\”.
The script itself is attached to this posting.
I build that my script according to a sample script I found in the community.
From my point of view I have configured my script exactly like the sample script.
But it still doesn’t work.
I am especially interested in where to store the the appropriate files.
I would be very happy if there is someone who can explain me, what’s wrong there.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Michael

I'm experiencing the same issue [reading XML causes errors that say things from "no such file" to some odd Java exception.] I'm able to use a template XML file and after authenticating a user, transform the template into a proper XML file and then successfully save it to the en_US Doc Repository with updated values.
However, no matter what I've tried or who I've asked, the READ on the XML file so that I can actually script something that does some routing based on the value of the XML file created in my first script? Ultra fail.
I've even worked with three separate TAC IPCC engineers who were able to reproduce the issue in their test environment, but they were unable to assist. Eventually, whe pressed, I received this response from the last IPCC engineer.:
"Hello Brad,
Yes I know what I provided you with is what you already have achieved and this missing step is precisely what you need: how to setup the script to check the status and value of this XML document and then decide routing according to the state. But unfortunately this is what I found internally. The other resources are the ones you already know: support forums, scripting guides. The other resource with suggest to customer looking for script assistance is the Cisco Account Manager of your company, they know where to get the resources for such issues. Then again as I mentioned before on our phone conversation TAC does not support scripting but certainly if I find something else on my side I will let you know for sure."
I would do ponderous cartwheels of joy if someone who has this working in version 9.x [9.0.2 specifically] could share the deep magic.

Importing XML Templates

Hi,
Currently I am using Adobe Framemaker to import XML templates and make tables of data. Once the data has been imported into Framemaker it is easy to manipulate (change colours/sizes of columns etc.)
However, I am looking for a way to do this work in InDesign.
So far, I have tried importing the XML template into InDesign successfully, but as soon as I try to change columns/delete columns, basically make any changes to the table, InDesign freezes, and I have to restart the program.
The XML document is very large (4,089 rows in excel) and imported from Excel.
I am using CS4 on Windows XP.
Can anyone help ?

Does InDesign freeze if the table is not tagged? (i.e. untag the table and perform the column changes.)

Try this and see if you still get the same Output
Save the XML Output of the Concurrent Program

How to convert DTD files into XML(template) by using Java ?

I am a beginner to java,and want to convert a random DTD file
into a XML template(having no data).
any guys can give me some suggestions ?
thanks very much

DTD allow you to validate a XML file.
To do so, you can use API such as dom or xalan.
To transform an XML file from a vocabulary A to vocabulary B, you have to write a XSLT style sheet, and use xerces to perform the transformation.
Using tools such as XSL-FO, you can transform your XML into PDF.

SMDIAG_WIZARD and XML template for EWA

Hi all experts,
I'm in SolMan 4.0 SP12 want to make a EWA report from Enterprise Portal 6.0.
1) I have a problem when I run SMDIAG_WIZARD to my Enterprise Portal 6.0. error : Localization failed: ResourceBundle='com.sap.engine.services.rfcengine.RFCRes jktgrhxsapepq (RC=)
any idea?
2) I also try to setup from host:port/smd/wizard . On managed system setup, I can't go to the next step for setup.
Error in troubleshooting :
XML Template could not be read : com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser: Bad Attribute value(:main:, row:2, col:15)(cause=com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException XMLParser: Bad Attribute value (:main:, row:2, col:15))

where's the location of xml template that to be transfered in SolMan system ?
Thanks n Regards,
adh

Hi,
You should not use the smd/wizard and troubleshooting section. If you managed system is not yet setup please follow chapter 4.5 of
https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700000548322007E/Setup_Guide_Solman40SPS12.pdf.
But all you are doing there is not correlated with EWA. You will be able to setup EWA as soon as SMD has been completely setup. For more information about EWA for non ABAP please see SAP Note 976054.

Stephan
