Reference for working with a data collection retreived from a Web Service

Does anyone have a good resource / example of working with multi row data collections returned from a web service call?
In addition to the basic return of x data rows, I will also be getting parent child collections. For example,
for each Customer row, 0 or more Customer Invoices
I have found many guides the relate to single values being retrieved by the web service, but I have not found any that refer to data collections.
Best regards,
Thomas

That can all certainly be done with a 13" MBP.
You'd want to get a USB hub, preferably USB 3.0 to plug in your optical drive, keyboard and mouse.
For your external monitor you can use a Mini DisplayPort adapter to DVI or HDMI (or if it's a retina MBP use the HDMI out).
For your ethernet, it will plug right into the non-retina. If you get the retina, you'd need a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter (faster) or a USB to ethernet adapter (slower).

  • How to Send and Receive Large Amounts of Data to and from a  Web Service

    Hi All,
    My requirement is: .Net Web service should receive a file and services do some modification in that file and return the file. I need to write client (using Java) to invoke that web service. Please help in writing java client code for accessing that service. Suggest if any changes required in Web service code also.
    My .Net web Service web method code:
    [WebMethod]
    public byte [] ByteEcho(byte[] data) {
    -     Some modification code -
    return data;
    }

    that will work fine for small files. it will potentially cause OutOfMemoryErrors on client and/or server for large files. if you want to send/recieve large files, you need to stream them.
    also, be aware that you cannot send raw byte[] via xml, you will need to encode the data using some sort of binary -> text encoding like Base64 encoding.

  • Working with xml data collections (sequences)

    Dear all,
    a database adapter in my BPEL process returns the following xml data structure:
    Schema:
    <xs:element name="MGroupsCollection" type="MGroupsCollection"/>
    <xs:complexType name="MGroupsCollection">
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="MGroups" type="MGroups" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    <xs:complexType name="MGroups">
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="id" type="xs:int"/>
    <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    Instance (example, namespaces deleted):
    <MGroupsCollection>
    <MGroups>
    <id>23</id>
    <name>group2</name>
    </MGroups>
    <!-- more MGroups -->
    </MGroupsCollection>
    Now, I want to transform this structure into the following one:
    Schema:
    <xs:element name="Groups">
    <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="Group" type="Group" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
    <xs:complexType name="Group">
    <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="id" type="xs:int"/>
    <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    Instance (example, namespaces deleted):
    <Groups>
    <Group>
    <id>23</id>
    <name>group2</name>
    </Group>
    <!-- more Group elements -->
    </Groups>
    Implementing an XSLT transform activity, I faced no problems:
    <xsl:template match="db:MGroupsCollection">
    <sedd:Groups>
    <xsl:for-each select="db:MGroups">
    <sedd:Group>
    <sedd:id>
    <xsl:value-of select="db:id"/>
    </sedd:id>
    <sedd:name>
    <xsl:value-of select="db:name"/>
    </sedd:name>
    </sedd:Group>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </sedd:Groups>
    </xsl:template>
    Now, I thought I can use an assign activity instead of the transform activity above to transform the structure. Here's the code:
    <assign name="AssignSelectedGroups">
    <copy>
    <from variable="InvokeSelectGroups_SelectGroupsAdapterSelect_OutputVariable"
    part="MGroupsCollection"
    query="/ns3:MGroupsCollection"/>
    <to variable="Groups" query="/client:Groups"/>
    </copy>
    </assign>
    Using this assign activity (see above) the BPEL process runs without errors too. But the process produced the following structure (namespaces deleted):
    <Groups>
    <MGroups>
    <id>23</id>
    <name>group2</name>
    </MGroups>
    <!-- more MGroups -->
    </Groups>
    My questions is: As you can see in the schema definition of "Groups" (see above) this element contains one or more "Group" elements, but not one or "MGroups" elements. But "MGroups" are copied into "Groups" using the assign activity which is not valid according to the schema definition. Nevertheless, my BPEL process does not throw an exception.
    Can somebody explain this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    3.14 Validating XML Data with bpelx:validate
    Does that one work for you ?
    Yes it's possible to reconstruct your xml by the assing options. If you create the assign activity you will see besides the copy also options like insert-before insert-after append etc
    With those you can construct your own variable like the way you want it..resort elements etc

  • Xcelsiues 2008, working with live data help!!!

    Ok, so i have flynet designer for web services. All this is working correctly. i have setup a test query just to check everything is working so i just pulled out some customer info name, account number etc. I generated the webservice succesfully and i can browse to the website and enter a parameter and it returns results. So i know this part is working ok.
    So now im in xcelsius 2008, i add a new web service connection and it connects fine, at this point you have to select the cells where you want the data to go in the little excel spreadsheet panel. but nothing ever appears!!!!??? i dont know what i am doing wrong. has anyone had experience working with live data?

    In terms of timescale. I have till April to do this.
    I said 2 months cos things always come up. So, in terms of your application have you already:
    collected user requirements?
    developed and tested an appropriate database structure (tables, datatypes, triggers, views, etc...)?
    done any mock-up of some sort of the application pages and business process flows?
    gotten approval of any of the above?
    If you have all of this yet to complete - and you're new to databases, new to Oracle and new to HTML DB, and have more than a very simple application (10-15 pages) you may still be in over your head with this project.
    I'm not trying to discourage you from using HTML DB at all. It's a great tool and you can do some very cool stuff with it. And it's reputation as an Access killer is well deserved. It's just that you may not want to take on a critical time-sensitive project as your first.
    Also to consider - are you going to have anyone else helping out with it? If so, what strengths/weaknesses does that person bring to the project? Is it going to help you move faster? Or slow you down - because you're training and developing at the same time?

  • My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

    My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Problem in working with Japanese data

    Hello,
    We have an application, which should work for both English and Japanese languages. Our application is working fine for English data but in case of Japanese, we are facing problems. In the application, there is a language setting, where the user can select either English or Japanese. This changes the language of the labels to English or Japanese. We are handling this thru' ResourceBundles. But the data that is entered can be independent of this. In English setting also, the data entered or diplayed could be Japanese. Now we are facing problems at vaious places -
    1. When we enter Japanese data and save it, it gets copied into the bean and if there is any error in the saving, the same data from bean comes back on the screen. This data doesn't appear properly in Japanese.
    2. When we try to retrieve the already saved data from database, it doesn't show poperly in Japanese.
    We are using our own 'toUnicode' function, which converts the data to Unicode before saving the data to database. Similarly, we have tried different encodings like SJIS / Shift_JIS / ISO-2022-JP at various places i.e. in 'Page' directive or in HTML Meta tag or various combinations of these two. Nothing is working reliably. Sometimes for some combination, data retained in the first case is correct but it can't be saved. Sometimes it works with Unicode, sometimes without Unicode. Some combination affects the Japanese labels as well. Otherwise the labels at least are displayed properly.
    The same code with just Shift_JIS setting in 'page' directive, worked well in IIS Server for both English and Japanese.
    What could be the problem in WebLogic? Does it matter if WL is installed on English or Japanese machine?
    Kindly answer ASAP, since the project is getting delayed.
    Thanking in anticipation...

  • Help Required: Working with relational data

    Hi,
    I'm looking for some advice
    Scenario
    We have a customer who has an SE relational database with Apex for transaction processing. They require reporting functionality and are debating whether to buy BI SE One or BI EE; they will not buy the enteprise edition database though.
    Questions
    Here are my questions:
    1. In order to use answers and dashboards, does the relational data have to be in a dimensional format. Is this reccommended.
    2. We were debating on whether to create data marts for various business requirements. Is this standard procedure for relational data (Which is not too complex)
    3. If the data has to be in a dimensional format, is this best modelled using warehouse builder or the model layer of the repository using BI Administrator. (Baring in mind that the customer is an SME using a SE database)
    The main problem where having, been fairly new to warehouse building, is that we dont know what the best path is to take when working with relational data. Do we create dimensional models? What should we use? Is a relational structure suitable enough?
    Can anyone shed light on our problems
    Regards
    Kevin

    1. In order to use Answers and Dashboards you do not need to have a Data Warehouse. It can report out of both Transactional database as well as a data warehouse.
    2. It depends on what your business requirements are. BI EE/SE1 does not require you to have data marts. Data Marts would give performance gains, would help you in visualizing the transactional data from a business standpoint, is a big plus but not a mandate. If you want to go that route of creating Datamarts, you can easily do that using BI SE1 since that gives you warehouse builder which can be both used as a data modelling tool and a ETL tool.
    3. Warehouse Builder is a ETL tool. It helps in you visualizing/deploying data warehouses in databases. But BI EE Admin tool is more of a logical dimension modelling tool wherein the facts and dimensions do not exist physically but the tool uses them to do the querying/processing.
    Since you are just starting, what you can do is to use BI EE directly on top of the transactional system for the time being. But as a long term solution you can start working on your data marts and as soon as they are ready you can port the BI EE on top of them rather than the transactional system.
    Thanks,
    Venkat

  • Query on Topology for working with Routing Server

    Hi,
    We have just started working with Routing Engine. We have a sample street data. For working with routing server, whether we need the topology to be built?
    If we have a topology can we use with routing server?
    In this request for un-geocoded addresses
    <start_location>
    <input_location id="1">
    <input_address>
    <us_form1 street="4001 E Bay Dr" lastline="largo, fl" />
    </input_address>
    </input_location>
    </start_location>
    What does this street and lastline mean. Which table its referring?
    Can you help me out in this problem?
    Thanks and regards
    Aravindan

    The routing engine requires data in a particular form. It does require a node and edge table as well as oher information.
    In appendix c of the 10g Release 2 documentation is a description of the tables and the XML elements (such as us_form1, street, lastline, etc) required for the routing engine. If you have data that can be massaged into this format then you can do the massaging and load and use it.
    Hope this helps,

  • Working with Cyrillic Data

    Hi, We have a requirement where I have to work with Cyrillic data i.e. Russian data. I have to parse data based on specific fields.  I tried using match function but looks like it is having problem dealing with Cyrillic Russian data.  When I try to find an english word in a string then it works finebut when I try to find an Cyrillic character i.e. ул. or г. then I match function would not find this expression in the CYrillic string.
    i.e. match_pattern('Арбат ул.','Арбат ул\.') gives me 0
    Any idea how I can use BODS on function on Cyrillic data.
    Thanks,

    Should have not used escape character for dot. placing just dot works finein decode.

  • Mac Pro RAID block size recommendations for working with audio in Logic Pro

    I have recently ordered a Mac Pro and plan to do a RAID configuration across 3 HDD's
    The RAID type i am going to do is a RAID 0 striped.
    The computer is going to be used primarily for audio post production and working with 20+ 24-Bit audio files at any one time within a Logic project.
    I want to know what is the best block size i should use when configuring the RAID.
    I understand that using a higher block size is best for working with large files but do i need to do this in my case or will the default 32k block size be enough?
    Thanks in advance

    Use 64k. Things like databases like having 32k blocks because of all the small files. Audio files are pretty small even at 24-bit 192KHz. Go to 128k if all you are doing is streaming and no samples. But 20+ 24-bit is really not too large anyway considering most modern HDD's can stream 100MB/s off one spindle. You'll probably be fine regardless of the block size you choose. But most audio pro's choose 64k.

  • Tips for working with USB floppy drives

    I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on working with USB floppy drives in Archlinux.
    One thing I've noticed is that trying to use mkfs.msdos on my USB floppy drive directly doesn't seem to result in a usable disk (it's mountable, but reports that I don't have enough space available to copy files), but if I use the command on an image file the same size as a floppy disk and then use dd to copy the blank image to my USB drive I get a disk that's perfectly usable.  Anybody know what the deal is with that or how I might be able to successfully format a disk in fewer steps (other than keeping the blank images around and just using dd to format the floppies, haha)?
    Also, I'd like to hear any other tips or tricks any of you have for working with USB floppy drives.  They just seem so much more usable under Windows as opposed to Linux, and that disappoints me a little.

    jmetal88 wrote:Okay, thanks guys.  I haven't figured out the issue yet, but you're helping me narrow it down.  I decided to run a df -h command after each try of formatting the disk this time.  I tried the low-level ufiformat command followed by a mkfs.msdos on the device, using a 720k disk, and df -h showed 700k free on the file system.  It's just not making the file system large enough (I believe the file I was trying to copy over was 710k or so).  When I run mkfs.msdos on a 720k disk image and then dd the image over to the drive, df -h shows 713k free after mounting the drive.  Any idea why mkfs.msdos isn't filling out the full 720k on the disk itself, but is on the image?
    I would assume this happens because (as far as I can tell from skimming through the source over the course of a few minutes) mkfs.fat only applies floppy size heuristics to fd and lo devices -- your USB floppy drive is treated as a hard drive, and that leads to less-than-ideal default parameters.

  • Best practices for working with large placed bitmap images?

    Hey all,
    I need some advice on the best way to approach building these files. I've been working on some banners that are very large: 3 x 7 feet.
    Each banner has a simple vector graphic treatment at the top and bottom (rectangle with a different colored rule on top, and vector logo) and a small amount of text, just a URL and a headline.The headline is type (not converted to outlines) and usually has some other effect applied to it, say a drop shadow or outer glow. Under these graphics is a full bleed image. The placed images need to be 150ppi at actual size, so they're honking big, sometimes up to 2GB. Once the layouts are approved, they have to go to a vendor for output.
    The Illustrator docs are really large, and I've read in other threads how to combat that (PDF compatibility, raster settings). But even still, does anyone have any insight into the best way to deal with these things? The dimensions are large, and then the images are large, and it just makes for lots of looking at the spinning ball of death...
    If it were me, I'd build them in InDe, but the vector graphics need to be edited for each one, and I so don't like to do that in InDe unless forced. To me, it's still ultimately a page layout app, not a drawing app. (Old school here.)
    FYI, our machines are all MBPs with 8G ram and the latest Intel Core 2 Duo chips, 2.66 and 2.8GHz. If we keep the files local (as opposed to working on the server) it should be fairly zippy... No?
    Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

    You can get into memory trouble with very large placed pdf files. Tiffs too.
    This has to do with the preview, which contains much more information than you need for working with.
    On the other hand if you place EPSs and take care not to turn on overprint preview you can get away with huge files.
    If you do turn on overprint preview your machine will slow down a lot and the file may become totally unmanageable.
    Compare this with to InDesign where you can control the quality of the preview. A hi-res preview will slow you down and most often you don't need it anyway.
    I was working (in Illie) the other day on much larger files than you mention – displays for whole walls – and had some considerable trouble until I reverted to the old EPS format. They say it's dying but it ain't dead yet .
