Reading XML file into Dynamic Node and Display its output as Table.

Hi All,
Following is the output of XML file:
   <Company>
     <Employee>
          <Name>John</Name>
          <Age>23</Age>
          <***>Male</***>
          <Location>Frankfurt</Location>
     </Employee>
     <Employee>
          <Name>Tina</Name>
          <Age>21</Age>
          <***>Female</***>
          <Location>Boston</Location>
     </Employee>
     <Department>
          <Name>Sales</Name>
          <HQ>Chicago</HQ>
          <Emplyoees>2300</Employees>
     </Department>
I'm able to read the output through DOM parser. But How do I convert this into dynamic node and display this in Web dynpro as Table?
Any pointers in this regard will be great help?
Thanks

Hi Maksim,
I've used your example and its now helping as there is kind of agreement on that I'll be knowing the structure of Xml and I can fill the nodes.
But suppose if you have Xml has following structure :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><DATA>
<item><MAILERID TYPE="C" SIZE="000030">21</MAILERID><ORG_CODE TYPE="C" SIZE="000004">1232</ORG_CODE><EVENTID TYPE="C" SIZE="000015">CONTRACT</EVENTID><SUBSCR_VALUE TYPE="C" SIZE="000001">0</SUBSCR_VALUE></item>
<item><MAILERID TYPE="C" SIZE="000030">21</MAILERID><ORG_CODE TYPE="C" SIZE="000004">1232</ORG_CODE><EVENTID TYPE="C" SIZE="000015">CREDIT</EVENTID><SUBSCR_VALUE TYPE="C" SIZE="000001">0</SUBSCR_VALUE></item>
<item><MAILERID TYPE="C" SIZE="000030">21</MAILERID><ORG_CODE TYPE="C" SIZE="000004">1232</ORG_CODE><EVENTID TYPE="C" SIZE="000015">EMPRESS</EVENTID><SUBSCR_VALUE TYPE="C" SIZE="000001">0</SUBSCR_VALUE></item>
<item><MAILERID TYPE="C" SIZE="000030">21</MAILERID><ORG_CODE TYPE="C" SIZE="000004">1232</ORG_CODE><EVENTID TYPE="C" SIZE="000015">PAYMENT</EVENTID><SUBSCR_VALUE TYPE="C" SIZE="000001">0</SUBSCR_VALUE></item>
<item><MAILERID TYPE="C" SIZE="000030">21</MAILERID><ORG_CODE TYPE="C" SIZE="000004">1232</ORG_CODE><EVENTID TYPE="C" SIZE="000015">PRICE</EVENTID><SUBSCR_VALUE TYPE="C" SIZE="000001">0</SUBSCR_VALUE></item>
</DATA>
How we will do in this case?
Can we have something similar using DOM? Also what is the best method for displaying data being sent in form of XML. And generalize it for cases like this.
Thanks
Srikant

Reading XML file from application server and put into internal table-4.6C

Dear All,
Is there any way of reading XML file from application server to SAP? I am using 4.6C. Function module SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING function module is not available. Please suggest.
Thanks and regards,
Atanu

Hi Atanu!
Simply use the XSLT transformation 'ID'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <ls_result> TYPE ANY.
CREATE DATA lref_data TYPE (your_structure).
ASSIGN lref_data->* TO <ls_result>.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE XML xmlstr
RESULT result = <ls_result>.
"xmlstr" contains your XML file. Just read it into it via standard I/O operations. "<ls_result>" will contain your DDIC formatted content.
Best regards

hello Michael thanks for your help but appear to me some strange errors, i created this package in Oracle SQL Developer...
create or replace PACKAGE PACKAGE_XML AS
type return_cur IS ref CURSOR;
procedure INSERTXML4(
    xmlDoc IN CLOB,
    tableName IN VARCHAR2,
    myRC IN OUT return_cur
END PACKAGE_XML;
and compile and everthing is ok, then i changed my SP and it looks like this:
create or replace PROCEDURE INSERTXML4
(xmlDoc in CLOB, tableName in VARCHAR2, refcur in out package_xml.return_cur)
AS
insCtx dbms_xmlsave.ctxType;
rowcnt number;
BEGIN
insCtx := dbms_xmlsave.newContext(tableName);
dbms_xmlsave.setignorecase(insCtx,1);
rowcnt := dbms_xmlsave.insertxml(insCtx, xmlDoc);
dbms_xmlsave.closecontext(insCtx);
OPEN refcur FOR SELECT rowcnt AS cnt FROM dual;
END INSERTXML4;
but i cant compile...it throws this errors:

File Adapter : read XML file with data validation and file rejection ?

Hello,
In order to read a XML file with the file adapter, I have defined a XSD that I have imported to my project.
Now the File Adapter reads the file correctly but it does not give an error when:
- the data types are not valid. Ex: dateTime is expected in a node and a string is provided
- the XML file has invalid attributes.
How can I manage error handling for XML files ?
Should I write my own Java XPath function to validate the file after is processed ? (here is an example for doing this : http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/XML/Q_21058568.html)
Thanks.

one option is to specify validateXML on the partnerlink (that describes the file adapter endpoint) such as shown here
<partnerLinkBinding name="StarLoanService">
<property name="wsdlLocation"> http://<hostname>:9700/orabpel/default/StarLoan/StarLoan?wsdl</property>
<property name="validateXML">true</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>

Unable to read big files into string object and java.lang.OutOfMemory Prob

Hi All,
I have an application that uses applet and servlet communication. On the client side I am reading an large xml file of 12MB size (using JFileChooser) and converting the file to an string object using below code. But I am getting java.lang.OutOfMemory on the client side . But the same below code works fine for small xml files which are less than 4MB sizes:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file),"UTF8"), 1024*12);
String s, s2 = new String();
while((s = in.readLine())!= null)
     s2 += s + "\n";
I even tried below code but still java.lang.OutOfMemory is coming:
while (true)
     int i = in.read();
     if (i == -1)
          break;
     sb.append(i);
Please let me know what am I doing wrong here ...
Thanks & Regards,
Sony.

Using a String is bad for the following reason:
When you initially create the String, it has a certain memory size (allocated length if you will). As you keep appending to this String, then memory reallocation will occur over and over, slowing your program down dramatically (ive seen with a 16k x 8 Char file taking 30 secs to read into memory using Strings in this way)
A Better way would be if you knew the number of characters in the XML file (Using some File size method for example) Then you can use a StringBuffer, which will pre allocate enough space (or try to, it may just be that you cannot create a string as large as you need). You can use toString() method to get the resultant in a String Object (the extra allocated space at the end of the Buffer will be removed)
StringBuffer strBuf = new StringBuffer(xxxx);
Where xx is the length (int). Assuming that you are only allowed to enter an int to the constructor then (platform depedant) an int is 2^31 at maximum (or whatever) which allows 2.14e9 characters, therefore an xml file being totally filed would allow a size of ~2048 MB to be read in.
Try it and see.

Unable to Read XML files into PI 7.0

Dear Friends,
I am working on File to IDOC and IDoc to File scenario with a shared folder concept.
we have tested all our transactions to and fro with out any problem. Two days back we faced sudden server shut down due to power issue.
From that day we are facing problem in reading files into XI
We are not facing any problem during outbound transactions from SAP on the same business system, where inbound folder path is also mentioned.
I have checked in Monitoring under communication channel..
it is showing comm channal is correctly configured...
is there any way i can check where it is going wrong..
Any thoughts and suggestions is highly rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Suman

Hi Santhosh,
We have given full folder permissions for all users. Processed read file option is not enabled in my Sender CC.
Thanks for quick response.

How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

Hi All,
We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
Thanks in advanced!
Jane

Thanks Tony for your quick response!
We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
Example Data File: loader2.dat
This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
for example:
,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
Thanks!
Jane

Read XML file into memory

Please forgive my ignorance, but I have a stupid question. Ths might not even be the correct forum.
My environment is Tomcat 4.1, Oracle, Win/Solaris.
I am coding a MVC application in JSP/Servlets. No standard framework is used.
I have a need in one of my beans to read in some information from an xml file. Since this object is created when a search is run, it seems inefficient to read this xml document every time an instance of the object is created.
I would like to declare this info static so that it could be used by all the instances of this object, however, I would also like this info to be updated/refreshed if I drop in a new instance of the xml file. How
could I implement this refresh of the info?
The info in this file is strictly read only so I would think that I would not have to have this info synchronized. (one instance would not change the information while the other was accessing)
Any suggestions? Can you point me to a resource for more information?
Thanks
M

Well this was a stupid question. After reading more about the meaning of static I found the answer. As they say RTFM
Thanks

Read XML file to dropdown list and sort alphabetically

I have a custom vbs script that reads a text file and creates a dropdown list to web page. How I can sort the list alphabetically? Should I read the values to array, sort it and after that put sorted values to dropdown list?

<html>
<head>
<script language="vbscript">
Sub window_onload()
test.Value = 3
End Sub
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select id="test" width=40>
<option value="1">one is the number</option>
<option value="2" selected="selected">two is the number</option>
<option value="3">three is the number</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>

FM to read XML files from Application server in ECC5.0

Hi All,
We need to pick up an XML file from Application server/FTP server. The requirement is to parse the XML file and process it to create material master. SAP provides standard function modules to read XML files.
Now we need to read the XML file contents of MM01 and upload into SAP Data Base through BAPI
I need to know about the Function modules to read XML files from Application Server and also about the FM's that will update the Date base tables with the data obtained form XML files.
Regards
Prathima
