Reading XML element attribute

I use JSTL to read a remote XML but can only print the content of the elements. How do i print the content of the attributes?
<root><person id="1">George</person></root>
For example, to read the Person's name i use:
<x:out select="$xmloutput/ROOT/person"/>
But how do i print the ID value of the element?
Thanks in advance.

Already found the answer:
<x:out select="@attribute_name" />
Just add the @ sign

XML Gateway Mapping of XML Element Attribute

Hi:
If an inbound XML message contains this tag:
<STATUS CODE="100"></STATUS>
is it possible to map the CODE attribute to a database column?
I've been attempting to do this but I'm receiving this error: Element STATUS not complete, expected elements ''.
Thanks.

I'll answer my own question here. Found the section in the XML User Guide about mapping HTTP Error Responses (chapter 22 in the v6.1 pdf) and realized that the XML gateway had preconfigured settings to handle various error conditions. Edited the error handling configuration for the specific Handler (rather than the global setting) and checked the box to allow the error to pass through the XML gateway. Redeployed the subpolicy.

Parse XML Elements/Attributes from CLOB into Oracle Table

Hi!
I have an XML file (loaded into a CLOB) which I need to parse and have each individual element and attribute inserted into an oracle table for manipulation.
Eg: XML File...
<PERSON>
<PER_ID changed="1">1</PER_ID>
<SURNAME changed="1">MARTIN</SURNAME>
<ADDRESS>
<STREET_NO changed="1">1</STREET_NO>
<POSTCODE changed="1">LE3 8RA</POSTCODE>
</ADDRESS>
</PERSON>
There will only ever be one address.
From this I need to extract
* PER_ID and related changed attribute
* SURNAME and related changed attribute
* STREET_NO and related changed attribute
* POSTCODE and related changed attribute
and insert a single record into the table below:
CREATE TABLE PERSON AS
( PER_ID VARCHAR2(10)
, ID_CHANGED VARCHAR2(1)
, SURNAME VARCHAR2(30)
, ID_CHANGED VARCHAR2(1)
, STREET_NO VARCHAR2(5)
, ID_CHANGED VARCHAR2(1)
, POSTCODE VARCHAR2(10) );
Any assistance/advice would be very much appreciated. I've tried using DBMS_XMLSave / DBMS_XMLStore which works great at pulling in elements (PER_ID, SURNAME, etc) straight into the table but doesn't look at the changed attributes, and I need both.
Thanks a million in advance to anyone who can crack this!!

Read Cost element attributes

Folks,
Cost Element InfoObject has a attribute "Type".
Different values for "Type" = 1,2,3
Cost element is a time dependent compounded InfoObject. Hence I need to pass the value of related controlling area and time.
How do I read the value of attribute "Type"?
I have tried using ATRV & ATRVT, but without any luck.
Would appreciate if you could give an example for deriving the attribute value from a compounded time dependent InfoObject.
Thanx,
Raghu

Thanx Anurag, but not very sure if I can use Charateristic relationship.
I need to obtain the value of the attribute in a fox function. Let me explain it further.
Background :
Planning area -
Charac----
KF
area1 -
Payscale group--- Amount
Cost element------AmountVR
area2--Payscalegroup----KF1
KF2
KF3
Cost Element has an attribute "Type"
Value for attribute "Type" = 1,2,3
Based on the value of the attribute, the corresponding KF needs to be multiplied.
Logic :
If type = 1.
AmountVR = Amount * KF1.
elseif type = 2.
AmountVR = Amount * KF2.
elseif type = 3.
AmountVR = Amount * KF3.
endif.
The problem I'm facing is that I'm not able to read the data of attribute "Type". None of the below statement retrieve the value of the "Type".
TYPE = ATRV(Attribute,COSTELEMENT,CO_AREA)
or
TYPE = ATRV(Attribute,COSTELEMENT)
Could you please help me in reading from a time dependent compounding InfoObject?
Regards,
Raghu

How to read xml elements in Bpel

Hi,
I had created an empty Bpel Process and configured file adapter to a directory, In my text file i have 3 records with four columns, each column seperated by ',' and each record seperated by "EOL(end of line)", Below is the xsd file generated by the native format xsd builder, taken a recieve activity to recieve the contents of file from file adapter.
So all the data which is in the file will be there in recieve activity.
FileContents
55555,rgfdgsd,gfdgfdg,23
66666,retretret,trtertg,21
77777,rtrttreter,trtter,23
My Question is
I want to compare whether value of C1 = '55555' and if the value is equal to 55555 then that record with c1=55555 has to be inserted into database
How to compare the value of c1 through bpel functions.
with java i have to use the logic similar to this by using Xpath
getElement by tagname(c1);- it will give all the elements with tagname c1, three records are there with tagname c1 (c1=55555,c1=66666,c1=77777), we have to iterate through the elemnts and check whether the value iof c1='55555' and get the whole parent block which contains values of c1,c2,c3,c4 and insert that to database
What variables we have to use to get the Similar logic in bpel

Hello,
Create a transform between the out variable of you receive activity and in variable of your db adatpter.
The use an IF in you tranformation file.
Sample code
<xsl:template match="/">
<ns0:TestRahulCollection>
<xsl:for-each select="/tns:Root-Element/tns:element">
*<xsl:if test="xp20:matches(tns:C1,'55555')">*
<ns0:TestRahul>
<ns0:a1>
<xsl:value-of select="tns:C1"/>
</ns0:a1>
<ns0:a2>
<xsl:value-of select="tns:C2"/>
</ns0:a2>
<ns0:a3>
<xsl:value-of select="tns:C3"/>
</ns0:a3>
<ns0:a4>
<xsl:value-of select="tns:C4"/>
</ns0:a4>

Replacing harcoded XML element attributes with variables

Is there any way for Xpath expressions in JAVA to refer to variables (for an attribute) instead of harcoded strings (like 'abc' and 'xyz' below)
So below ... 'abc' , 'xyz' could be varaibles.....
String getServerInstance="/Accounts/Account[@code='abc']/TestingProgram[@code='abc']/Modes/Mode[@code='xyz']/*";
Thanks a lot

I have a class now that resolves variables:
public class Resolve_Xpath_Vars implements XPathVariableResolver
     public Object resolveVariable(QName var)
try {
          if (var.equals(new QName("pqr")))
                    return new String("pqr");
          else if (var.equals(new QName("abcde")))
                    return new String("abcde");
else
return null;
catch (Exception ex)
          ex.printStackTrace();
          throw new RuntimeException();
NOWWWWW
how do i configure my XPATH expression to call this class to reolve my varaible....
XPATH EXPRESSION IS:
"this.Account" is the variable that the class should resolve.....to "pqr"
String getAccnt="/Accounts/Account[@code="+"'"+*this.Account*+"'"+"]/*";
Once resolved to "pqr" then i can make the following call:
NodeList nodeList =(NodeList) xPath.evaluate(getAccnt, inputSource, XPathConstants.NODESET );
any help is appreciated.............

Parse XML Elements/Attributes from CLOB in PL/SQL

Hi folks,
I'm new to XML development in Oracle...I need some help in Parsing a XML stored in a CLOB column using PL/SQL.
We are using Oracle 9i R2. Do i need install the XDK and /or XML DB?
Basically the xml has some quiz questions and the answers to the quiz. Once student submits the quiz we need parse the XML and calculate the grade.
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks,

A bit dirty but this works:
Create an XMLType based on the CLOB contents...

Need to replace/modify an element attribute

Hi,
I need to read an XML file and modify the value of an XML element attribute and write the modified element back to the file. This element is two levels deep in the heirarchy,
currently i am reading all the children and modifying the value of this particular attribue and writing all the children back.
Does anybody know of a method where we can do a replace operation on the Document rather than the lengthy process that i am currrently using??
Thanks

you might want to look at STX streaming transforms-
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/02/26/stx.html
That seems a good match for a simple replace problem.

Imported XSLT cannot create attributes for generated XML element

I have two xslts. One imports the other.
The imported xslt creates XML elements with attributes and this XML is stored in a variable in the main stylesheet
If I perform the transformation with JRE prior to 1.6.0.18 then all works fine
If I use 1.6.0.18 or 1.6.0.19 then the attributes aren't added.
If I add attributes in the main xslt it works fine or if I output the element directly instead of first storing it in a variable then it also works fine.
Problem seems to be when you try to add attributes from an imported stylesheet and store the generated element in a variable.
Below two stylesheets to illustrate :

Have found the difference in the code
In both JRE1.6.0_17 & JRE1.6.0_18, the class 'com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.dom.AdaptiveResultTreeImpl' has the following method
public void addUniqueAttribute(String qName, String value, int flags)
        throws SAXException
        addAttribute(qName, value);
    }In JRE1.6.0_17 the next method is
public void addAttribute(String name, String value)
     if (_openElementName != null) {
         _attributes.add(name, value);
     else {
         BasisLibrary.runTimeError(BasisLibrary.STRAY_ATTRIBUTE_ERR, name);
    }In JRE1.6.0_18 the next method is
public void addAttribute(String uri, String localName, String qname,
            String type, String value)
     if (_openElementName != null) {
         _attributes.addAttribute(uri, localName, qname, type, value);
     else {
         BasisLibrary.runTimeError(BasisLibrary.STRAY_ATTRIBUTE_ERR, qname);
    }Note - the addAttribute method has additional parameters in JRE1.6.0_18 but the call from addUniqueAttribute wasn't updated.
So in JRE1.6.0_18 addUniqueAttribute actually invokes the following method in the base package com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.EmptySerializer
public void addAttribute(String name, String value)
        aMethodIsCalled();
void aMethodIsCalled()
        // throw new RuntimeException(err);
        return;
    }and as you can see this does nothing. Hence the fact that the attribute isn't added.

XML element,if not including any attributes and/or child elements then

XML element in SQLX,if not including any attributes and/or child elements then the tag should not appear, how to achive this?
ex:Consider for <enumeration> tag where it is having some value.
<attribute>
<name>Ethernet Access</name>
<enumeration>
<StringValue>Bandwidth</StringValue>
</enumeration>
</attribute>
When <enumeration> tag is not have any Value in this, then output should be as follows.
<attribute>
<name>Ethernet Access</name>
</attribute>
But what i am getting is
<attribute>
<name>Ethernet Access</name>
</enumeration>
</attribute>
Please suggest me the solution for this.
I tried , but when xmlelement() is not having data it will display empty tag ie </enumeration>, If xmlforest() are null it wont show tag, But i have to use xmlelement only. how can that be achived using xmlelement .

Use a SQL case - when - else end construct to only execute the xmlelement if data is present. The SQL/XML standard is very clear, xmlElement will generate an empty element if no data is present. xmlforest will not.
