Reading XML file to use its content

Hi, I'm trying to read from a XML file that contents the following:
<conf>
<address>some address</address>
<body>some body message</body>
</conf>
I'm using the following code to try to read it:
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
public class XMLReader {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
try {
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document documento = parser.parse(new File("C:/salida.xml"));
Element elemento = documento.getDocumentElement();
System.out.println(elemento.toString());
catch (Exception elemento) {
elemento.printStackTrace();
I though it was good, but it gives me compilation error, it says it 'cannot resolve symbol' on "DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();", I already added the following libraries: jaxp-api.jar, sax.jar, dom.jar, xalan.jar, xercesImpl.jar, xsltc.jar (all from JAXP API). So, I don't know what else do I need to make it work, what is it?, thanks in advance.

try this:
File f = new File("....");
FileInputString fis = new FileInputStream(f);
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
InputSource iSource = new InputSource(fis);
parser.parse(iSource);
Document doc = parser.getDocument();

UCCX8 - script that reads XML file failing, used to work fine in UCCX 5 and 7

I have a existing script that I've used many times before to read a simple XML file to check open hours for a queue. In both UCCX 5 and 7
I loaded up all my same scripts, documents , structure, etc..
When I run script I get the below error.
The error implies its a security problem but I also wonder if it could simply be a incorrect directory structure as well
I have the document located in the repository under en\GlobalDocuments\HolidayDatesWithHours.xml
Is there a differnet way we need to reference documents in UCCX 8 than 5 or 7
I think I doing it correctly, using the CreateFileDocument and CreateXMLDocument steps, NOT trying to access the filesystem directly
Do I need to use forward slashes in the file path for UCCX 8 ,
Any ideas where to look. This same error appears wherever in my script that I'm trying to read a XML file. different scripts as well so it seems that I'm doing something consistently wrong that used to work correctly on multiple UCCX 5&7 servers in the past.
Thanks.

It should be fine, I assume you mean to reference the full location of your files such as:
DOC[en\GlobalDocuments\HolidayDatesWithHours.xml]
Or you could use a document variable such as:
docVariable = DOC[en\GlobalDocuments\HolidayDateWithHours.xml]
then in the script reference that:
doc = Create XML Document (docVariable)

How to read XML file kept on NON-SAP server using the Http URL ?

Dear Experts,
I am working on CRM2007 web UI. I need to read a XML file placed on a shared server location by a third party program. Then process that XML file into CRM and create a quotation using the data extracted from the file.
All i have with me is the http URL that points to the location of the file.
I am supposed to read the file , create quotation and at later point of time i would be asked to update the quotation and then generated new XML representing updated quotation and replace the XML file on shared server location with this new updated XML file.
I know how to extract data from XML file into ABAP but i have no clue as to how to access the file on some other server using the http url i have and how to read it ?
I searched on the forum and i found the codes for reading XML file that is located either on client machine OR on the Application server wheareas my file is on some other than sap application server.
Please help me as its an urgent issue .
Points will be rewarded for sure.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Suchita.
p.s. : the http url to the file location is like -->
http://SomeServerDomain/SomeDirectory/file.xml

hi,
interesting task.
to request the file by a http call you need to create an if_http_client object.
More info is [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/e5/4d350bc11411d4ad310000e83539c3/frameset.htm]
to parse the file you either have to work with the ixml packages ([info|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/47/b5413acdb62f70e10000000a114084/content.htm]) or you use an XSLT transformation ([info|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/a8/824c3c66177414e10000000a114084/content.htm]).
uploading the final file isn't so easy. if you only have http, you should write a server script to allow uploading of the new file and copying it into the place of the old file. but you definitely need the script.
now it's your take. depending on how experienced you are in ABAP and networking this might turn out to be easy or pretty complicated.
have fun,

Can a servlet read a jsp file and display its contents?

Hi,
I would like to know if Servlets can read a Jsp file and display its contents.. Right now for our website, I am using a html file to be displayed after a successful post operation through the Servlets...
-Thanks!

I posted this in another thread.
Here's some code that reads using a URL. This doesn't work with JSPs as the server executes JSP when it connects but it's useful for other file types. Note that the filename is a URI</h1>This is <code>show.jsp</code></h1>
<hr>
<%! String file = null; %>
<%! java.io.InputStream is = null; %>
<%
file = request.getParameterValues("filename")[0];
try {
is = (new java.net.URL(file)).openStream();
} catch (java.io.IOException ioe) { out.write(file + " not found!<br>"); }
java.io.BufferedReader in = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(is));
String line = "";
%>
<pre>
<%
while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
%>
<%=line%>

Reading an XML file and write the contents to another xml file in java

Hi,
I am new to xml parsing.My requirement is that I am getting a message (xml) using ibm MQ in the ByteArrayInputStream format.I have to read this xml message and write to another file.
I am creating a POC for this.
First I used simple reading and writing concept but the output is "java.io.FileInputStream@3e25a5 "
Sample xml file
- <Client>
<ClientId>1234</ClientId>
<ClientName>STechnology</ClientName>
<DTU_ID>567</DTU_ID>
<ClientStatus>ACTIVE</ClientStatus>
- <LEAccount>

code:
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
public class ByteArrayInputStreamToXml {
     public static void main(String srg[]) throws IOException{
          InputStream inputStream= new FileInputStream("C:\\soft\\test2\\sample1.xml");
          byte currentXMLBytes[] = inputStream.toString().getBytes();
          ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(currentXMLBytes);
          OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("C:\\soft\\test\\data.xml");
          int read=0;
          byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
          while((read = byteArrayInputStream.read(bytes))!= -1){
          out.write(bytes, 0, read);
          out.write( '\n' );
          inputStream.close();
          out.flush();
          out.close();
          System.out.println("New file created!");
Please suggest me how can I use DOM/SAX parser ,I can see several code on net for reading xml file using SAX/DOM parser but writing an xml file after reading it using ByteArrayInputStream I am not getting .A help through some example Link will also be helpful for me.
Thanks

Reading XML file using BAPI I must use adapters .

Reading XML file using BAPI and then uploading that xml file data into SAP using BDC.
I cant take file on to my Application server I am getting the file dynamically from other file server and I need to use BAPis to read data from XML file.please tell me what should be my Import,Export and Tables parameterrs should be.
Thanks

Hi,
Import, export and table parameters for BAPI is required, without that BAPI will not able to collect the data from XML. What you need to do is write a Zprogram and collect the data, store that data in internal table and call the BAPI by passing required parameters.
Different Scanarios:
1) Before calling a BAPI write some other program which collects the data from XML and create a UNIX file. Try to get the data from UNIX FILE
2) If you see the XML tags, data will be in side that tags, try to get the data from XML tags and store that data in one SAP table. You can use the BAPI by fetching the data from table
3)Create a table and store the data in the table. Use the table in SAP to extract the data.
BAPI won't work without any parameters, you have to pass some parameters then the BAPI will return some values.
Hope i am clear.
Thanks&Regards,

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
Torsten

UCCX Reading XML file hosted on IIS web server

hi guys,
i have a customer on CCX 8.5 environment and they have a .NET application running on an IIS web server. As part of this .NET application, the app produce an XML file.
My questions is
"Can CCX read XML file that is hosted externally on IIS web server rather than parsing the XML file on CCX document repository?"
All of the examples of XML parsing points to the XML file in document repository.
Any pointers to links and documentation/example on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
If this is not achievable, if you could kindly suggest a different way of doing it too would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Hi,
to be quite honest with you, I don't know anything about Sharepoint - so I am afraid I cannot help you with its XML editing capabilities. XML is just a well formed text file that follows some logical rules, so no additional application is required for editing, in fact, I always encourage everybody to use Notepad/Textpad/ to read and edit XML files. Of course, if it's not possible, you will find a great number of various user friendly XML editing applications.
A UCCX script will normally access an XML using the Create URL Document step and then, using the Get XML Document data step with the help of an XPath expression, will filter out the necessary information from the XML document.
The protocols used are standard and well known, including HTTP and XPath (and XML itself). So it does not really matter what kind of HTTP server serves the XML file, IIS is just an option.
Examples may be found in the Scripting guides for your particular UCCX version.

Reading XML Files from oracle 9i or in Oracle 10g

Hi all,
Can any body suggest how to write a stored procedure to read XML file content and insert into a table.
Thanking you in Advance

I know I am blasphemous, but ....
We had a similar requirement: one file, each line was a "simple" xml doc corresponding to one db table record. The keyword here is "simple". We looked at the xml stuff, but decided that the easiest, best runtime performance, most extensible, easiest to maintain was:
use (sed|awk|perl) to convert xml to a flat file of fields, and then load the file with SQL*Loader. After all, loading flat files with many records is a job for SQL*Loader.
caveat: the xml in question was very simple and the same for all records:
timestamp|<log><id>1</id><ns>ns1</ns><prod/><cmd>order</cmd><result>ok</result><time>1813></time></log>

I want to make a schedular which read xml files from a folder ,import in Indesign template then export as a pdf....

i want to make a schedular probably in Coldfusion or using javascript , which read xml files from a folder ,import in Indesign template then export as a pdf....

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

How to create a file and store its contents into another file?

Hi,
I'm having some trouble trying to create a code where I have to to create a file and store its contents into another file?
I read the API, but I'm not certain how this file thing works.
Here's my code so far:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
          File file = new File("tasks.txt");
          if (file.exists())
               System.out.println("File already exists");
               System.exit(0);
          Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
          Scanner scan2 = new Scanner(System.in);
          //Scans the input line by line
          scan.useDelimiter("\\n");
          //Scans the input by tabs
          scan2.useDelimiter("\\t");
          PrintWriter outputs = new PrintWriter("newtasks.txt");
          outputs.print("ok");
          outputs.println(3);
          outputs.close();
     }

I managed to change my text into uppercase, but how do I store the uppercase content into another file.
-So this is what I did so far, I took a text file and modified its strings to uppercase.
-Now I need to put those modified strings into another text file, is there a way where I can do that with my current code?
-I already tried printwriter, but it doesn't seem to work
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
          //Task[] oneHundredTasks = new Task[100];
          String uppercase;
          String combine;
          Scanner scan = null;
          FileInputStream in = null;
        FileOutputStream out = null;
        PrintWriter output = null;
        try
             scan = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("tasks.txt")));
             scan.useDelimiter("\\n");
             scan.useDelimiter("\\t");
            while (scan.hasNext())
                 if(!scan.hasNext())
                      scan.next();
                 combine = scan.next();
                 uppercase = combine.toUpperCase();
                 System.out.println(uppercase);
        finally
            if (scan != null)
                scan.close();
        //The program will try the input and output files
        try
             in = new FileInputStream("tasks.txt");
            out = new FileOutputStream("newtasks.txt");
            int c;
            //The number "-1" is used to indicate that it has reached the end of the stream.
            while ((c = in.read()) != -1)
                out.write(c);
        finally
            if (in != null)
                in.close();
            if (out != null)
