Reading XML from JavaScript

Dear All,
I am in need of reading an XML file data and to do some manupulation in Javascript.
I am using "Microsoft.XMLDOM" parser and I have problem in accessing the child node.
I am able to locate a node thru var x= xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("name of an element") ;
but strucked with reading the child elements.
I didnt find any proper tutorials or documentations.
My need is to read the attribute in the child elements.
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Read XML from a hardware sensor file into ODI

Read XML from a hardware sensor file into ODI
Hi,
I am trying to extract xml data from a flowmeter that generates XML data.
The xml file is found in http://ip_address/history.xml
I’ve defined my Topology as such
JDBC Driver: com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
JDBC URL: jdbc:snps:xml?f=http://192.168.0.202/history.xml&ro=true
Please note to access the file I have to supply a username and password so I did in the definition But when testing my setup I get an error:
ava.sql.SQLException: The DTD file "http://192.168.0.202/history.dtd" doesn't exist: Server redirected too many times (20)
Please note I cannot write dtd to the device as it is a read only device.
Has anyone came across such an issue, how can I achieve this.
Thanks
Hicham

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried this jdbc url
jdbc:snps:xml?f=http://192.168.0.202/history.xml&d=c:\temp\history.dtd
but when I test the connection i get the following error
java.sql.SQLException: While generating the DTD from the XML file, a java.io.IOException exception occurred saying: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://192.168.0.202/history.xml
If I browse http://192.168.0.202/history.xml and i supply the username and password I get an xml page.
I've supplied the username and password in the definition tab of the Data Server windows but still getting the above error.
THanks
Hicham

Try to check this document Browser Support for SAP and use PAM (Product Availability Matrix) to check for the compatibility of your SAP system with the browser.
If you are only the user of the Web Dynpro you would have probably no other choice than change the browser.

Reading XML from Oracle directory to generate charts

Hi,
I have a requirement create graphs, charts and maps based on data from a data warehouse (dw). As I see things, there are two possibilities:
Graphs, charts and maps based on an XML file
Graphs, charts and maps based on Oracle tables
Both would contain small data sets that will allow for quick response. The intent of these graphs, charts and maps is to generate a dashboard that would allow the user to quickly drill down to the desired warehouse data.
The proof of concept has already been validated using the Oracle table scenario. My question is whether or not this could be accomplished reading xml files for generating the same set of dashboard items?
My Oracle database and APEX environments configuration are as follows:
NLSRTL                 11.2.0.1.0                                                           Production
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.1.0                         64bit Production
PL/SQL 11.2.0.1.0                                                                            Production
TNS for Solaris: 11.2.0.1.0                                                               Production
Application Express 4.2.2.00.11
APEX Listener Release 2.0.2. / Tomcat
An Oracle database directory has been setup and is accessible to our APEX application.
Any suggestions/help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles

An Oracle Directory has an underlying OS directory associated with it, Oracle just overlays it's control structure onto an existing folder in the OS. You can manipulate the files with stored procedures in Oracle or at the OS level from outside of Oracle.
If you manipulate the files from the OS level, outside of Oracle, you may need a refresh of the Oracle Directory structure.

Write n then read xml from database to create graph in an applet

Hi mates

and other this can i use xml for this means first write a data in xml format from database then read it at sametime and show graph in applet
can anytell me how to do it
any suggesion is appreciable
thanx

Here's are two example for what you are looking for
Re: Load xml data in Oracle table
Re: insert .xml file into xmltype table?
First you need to create a DIRECTORY object. That is how Oracle works and it expects a DIRECTORY object instead of a physical path when performing operations that read/write from disk. The directory path provided to the CREATE DIRECTORY command must be a directory that the machine Oracle DB resides on can see.
Then you can go either of two routes. You can INSERT that XML directly into a table, as shown in the second link I provided or you can read it into PL/SQL as the first link shows. Then in either case, you can use SQL to parse the XML for you.
Depending upon your needs, you may get better performance if you insert the XML into a table as the second link shows, assuming the XMLType column is stored as SECUREFILE BINARY XML.

How to read XML from web page inside servlet/jsp ?

i have a url, which on sending request, shows XML in browser.
Now i need to read this XML in browser and then manipulate it according to my need and display it on another page.
actually the process is. :
1) i have to first retrieve an xml from other site. (XML will only be shown in browser)
2.)then i have to read the Xml and show it in according to my requirements.
Is there any way to read XML directly from a Web Page ??
is their logic to accomplish this.
e.g in Servlet i can do somewhat like this :
String wholeXml=Somemethod(url);
Please Advice

Hi,
if u wanna extract data from XML. you can use Digester(Apache-jakarta) parser. All u need to create the beans(as per the data in xml), that will be populated by Digester.
Digester takes xml(string) as parameter and populates the bean specified.
U can use this bean in ur JSP.
:::Note:::; use Digester in ur servlet.

Read XML from remote server

Not sure if this is even possible.
I am using APEX on a INTERNAL server, on the same network is another server hosting files.
Using PL/SQL code, I need to read the XML file.
So APEX/ORACLE is at http:\\server1\apex\f?p........
And the files are at \\server2\xml\file.xml
Can I load the xml from server2 using pl/sql in server1?
The XML is generated automatically from another system and can not be stored on the APEX server. It does not need to go into the database, just read, parced, and displayed.

Hi,
Using PL/SQL code, I need to read the XML file. You can create a directory object pointing to the location on server2 :
CREATE DIRECTORY xml_dir AS '\\server2\xml';then you can access the XML content like this :
DECLARE
v_xml_doc xmltype;
BEGIN
v_xml_doc := xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR', 'file.xml'), nls_charset_id('CHAR_CS'));
-- XML processing here...
END;

Read XML from applet

Hi there,
I would like to read XML data from Applet,
first of all is it possible?
If yes then how and will I require any extra pugin other than Java Plug-in?
Thanks

Sure you can, as long as the applet has permissions to read the xml file. If it is in the same directory as the applet it should be ok.
There is no need for an extra plugin. Here's a starting point:
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
Document doc = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(<some stream>);
Element data = doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList dbChildren = db.getChildNodes();

Reading XML from a plugin (Mac OSX 10.4.10)

Hi gurus,
Basically, I want to read an XML file from within a plugin, without using the AIXMLxxxSuites. Sound simple? Answers on a postcard please, because I haven't managed it yet, and I'm running out of hair!
I've tried using libxml2, which works great... until you quit Illustrator, then it crashes and I can't stop it from doing so. I can only assume that something's being released when my plugin is unloaded which Illustrator's not expecting, causing a crash on exit, but I'm just guessing.
I've also tried eXpat, which was a complete nightmare to install but I got it working eventually. Only problem is that when you compile it with fink (or some other package manager) it compiles for your specific architecture, i386 in my case. This doesn't end well when you have over 500 mixed PPC/i386 Macs to target.
So anyone else got any ideas? I'm quite new to Mac development coming from a Windows dev background (where'd MSXML go?!) so please be gentle :)
Thanks in advance!
--W

I see no reason why you couldn't get libxml, eXpat or Xerces working, however with the provided information I see no way to offer advice.
I suspect it will take a debugger and a good look at your code to understand your situation, so I just offered a (simple) suggestion. I will add that you do get something by developing a home brewed solution, namely no limitations, cross platform capability, and complete understanding (hopefully).
I run a software company based on opensource software, so I routinely build and use the packages you mentioned (without Fink). I am afraid however, that providing assistance here is beyond the scope of this forum.
Best regards,
