Remove tags from XML using transformation

Can anybody tell me how to remove empty tags using xsl transformation.
<App_Data App="MOD" Name="Metadata_Id" Value="SP1282"/>
<App_Data App="MOD" Name="Metadata_Spec_Major_Version" Value=""/>
<App_Data App="MOD" Name="Metadata_Spec_Minor_Version" Value=""/>
My XML will have tags similar to above. My requirement is to remove all tags having attribute Value="". How can i achieve this using transformation.
Thanks
Krish

You need to add the xsi:nil="true" attribute to your xsl-construct to be able to ommit the xml-element which are empty.
To be able to do this you need to add a choose-when-otherwise xsl construct inside your mapping file to test for ""-values.
The xsi:nill='true' isn't supported in the transform-activity yet, you need to add this attribute manually inside your xsl-mapping file.
Kind regards,
Nathalie

How to remove xmlns from xml using java

Hi,

The above xml needs to be decomposed using xsu.I am facing a small problem because the xml has namespaces.
How to remove the namespace using java to get the below xml
Note:I am using XSLT for the transformation.The XSLT tag is not identifying the <DLList> tag with name space
<DLList>
<Weather>
<StateName>Karnataka</StateName>
<ForecastName>Bagalkote</ForecastName>
<Humidity>89.9</Humidity>
</Weather>
<Weather>
<StateName>Karnataka</StateName>
<ForecastName>Devengiri</ForecastName>
<Humidity>89.9</Humidity>
</Weather>
</DLList>
Please help.Let me know if any other information is required
Thanks

OK, here goes :
For the example, I'll use a TB_DISTRICT table with the following structure :
create table tb_district (
sr_no number(3),
district_name varchar2(100)
);loaded with data from this page :
http://india.gov.in/knowindia/districts/andhra1.php?stateid=KA
and this XML document (one additional record compared to the one you posted) :
<DLList xmlns="http://www.test.com/integration/feed" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Weather>
<StateName>Karnataka</StateName>
<ForecastName>Bagalkote</ForecastName>
<Humidity>89.9</Humidity>
</Weather>
<Weather>
<StateName>Karnataka</StateName>
<ForecastName>Devengiri</ForecastName>
<Humidity>89.9</Humidity>
</Weather>
<Weather>
<StateName>Karnataka</StateName>
<ForecastName>Dharwad</ForecastName>
<Humidity>70.1</Humidity>
</Weather>
</DLList>In order to access the XML, I'll also use this Oracle directory object :
create directory test_dir as 'D:\ORACLE\test';Final relational tables are :
create table BUSINESS_TABLE
STATE         VARCHAR2(30),
DISTRICT_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
HUMIDITY      NUMBER
);and
create table REJECT_TABLE
STATE         VARCHAR2(30),
DISTRICT_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
HUMIDITY      NUMBER,
ERROR_MESSAGE VARCHAR2(500)
);With XMLTable function, we can easily break the XML into relational rows and columns ready to use for DML :
SQL> alter session set nls_numeric_characters=". ";
Session altered
SQL>
SQL> SELECT *
2 FROM XMLTable(
3    XMLNamespaces(default 'http://www.test.com/integration/feed'),
4    '/DLList/Weather'
5    passing xmltype(bfilename('TEST_DIR','test.xml'), nls_charset_id('CHAR_CS'))
6    columns
7      state         varchar2(30) path 'StateName'
8    , district_name varchar2(30) path 'ForecastName'
9    , humidity      number       path 'Humidity'
10 )
11 ;
STATE                          DISTRICT_NAME                    HUMIDITY
Karnataka                      Bagalkote                            89.9
Karnataka                      Devengiri                            89.9
Karnataka                      Dharwad                              70.1
Then with a multitable insert, we load both the business table and the reject table (if the district name does not exist in TB_DISTRICT) :
SQL> INSERT FIRST
2    WHEN master_district_name IS NOT NULL
3      THEN INTO business_table (state, district_name, humidity)
4                VALUES (state, district_name, humidity)
5    ELSE INTO reject_table (state, district_name, humidity, error_message)
6              VALUES (state, district_name, humidity, 'Invalid district name')
7 WITH xml_data AS (
8    SELECT *
9    FROM XMLTable(
10      XMLNamespaces(default 'http://www.test.com/integration/feed'),
11      '/DLList/Weather'
12      passing xmltype(bfilename('TEST_DIR','test.xml'), nls_charset_id('CHAR_CS'))
13      columns
14        state         varchar2(30) path 'StateName'
15      , district_name varchar2(30) path 'ForecastName'
16      , humidity      number       path 'Humidity'
17    )
18 )
19 SELECT x.*
20       , t.district_name as master_district_name
21 FROM xml_data x
22       LEFT OUTER JOIN tb_district t ON t.district_name = x.district_name
23 ;
3 rows inserted
SQL> select * from business_table;

Remove XML tags from XML element in Oracle

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to remove all the xml tags from xml element with banks, currently I'm using replace 4 times to replace all different types of xml tags, performance is really bad. is there any better option to remove xml tags from xml data leaving the actual data. please find the example data below.
select
TO_CLOB(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE
('<Concatcolumn><ConcatGroupID>MyText Data goes here </ConcatGroupID><ConcatGroupID>Data agian</ConcatGroupID></Concatcolumn>','<ConcatGroupID>'),'<Concatcolumn>'),'</ConcatGroupID>',';'),';</Concatcolumn>')) AS Concatcolumn
from dual
**************Out put*************
MyText Data goes here ;Data agian

One way is to use xquery:
SQL> with t as
select xmltype('<Concatcolumn>
                      <ConcatGroupID>MyText Data goes here </ConcatGroupID><ConcatGroupID>Data agian</ConcatGroupID></Concatcolumn>'
   ) xml from dual
select xmlquery('string-join(//text(), ";")' passing xml returning content).getclobval() xml from t
XML
MyText Data goes here ;Data agian

How to remove Unicode from XML file

I get following error when unmarshal xml:
[java] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x15) was found in the element content of the document.
Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
Thanks

These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

From File Menu
- Open File - Tagging menu

Remove SOAP-ENV tags from xml RECEIVER RESPONSE payload (XSL needed?)

Hi
I need to remove some tags from the payload of a RESPONSE message in a SOAP webservice scenarion.
The received payload looks like this:
before -

Hope somebody can help
Cheers

I am sorry to be such a pain in the a..
But I still get the wrong result (with your first option, 2nd option is not working):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Remove Cdata tags from XML body

Integration Broker message is being publish from the Peoplecode in the savepostchange event of a page......So basically when they click on the save, it is being published.
ok, I have title field on a page and the user entered special character "&" and there is a HTML definition being used and that definition goes through parsexmlstring function.
For example In the cust_title field on a page the user entered " A & B"
I went to the HTML definition and wrapped cust_title field in the CDATA tags like <![CDATA[<Title>%BIND(:8)</Title>]]>
Now , there is no error, XML is getting published. But in the xml message
I see Cdata tags and string is appearing exactly as it was entered.....
But how can I get rid of the Cdata tags from the XML message?

Dear Odie,
May I make your example a bit more complicated by adding an additional complexType, please:
---Original ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
</DEPT>
----- New ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
<EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
<DEVISION>1</DEVISION>
<FROM_DATE>2011-01-01 </FROM_DATE>
<TO_DATE></TO_DATE>
</EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
</DEPT>
Your solution works perfectly for <SALARY>, but how would you suggest also to deal with <TO_DATE> ?
Massive thanks for your help!
N.B. Just to emphasise, in my case I have 3 levels (complexType > complexType > complexType) and many elements and I would like to know if there is any generic option to say
to remove all the empty elements from the result, as it causes to the SSJ (Systinet) Webservice to crash.

How to remove elements/attributes from XML using Xpath in XSLT ??

Hello ,
Is there anyway or method of Xpath from which I can delete the elements and attributes from XML at runtime ??
Like I have such XML and I have to remove per attribute highlighted below
<person per="and">
<e:emp a="ir" b="ad" >
</e:emp>
</person>
And want a result like this
<person>
<e:emp a="ir" b="ad" >
</e:emp>
</person>
Thanks

To achieve this you can use the bpelx:remove function: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12483_01/integrate.1013/b28981/manipdoc.htm#CIHJBJFD
your assign will look like:
<bpel:assign>
<bpelx:remove>
<target variable="person" query="/person/@per" />
</bpelx:remove>
</bpel:assign>

Melvin

Remove Namespace from XML File except Attribute

Hi XI Experts ,
1.I have referred to the code of xslt Generic XSLT Code to Remove ALL Namespaces from XML:
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1920630
But this removes the Attribute : id from the records .
My expected output is supposed to be :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GBK"?>
<body>
<head>
    <nsrsbh>112001069711</nsrsbh>
    <nsrmc>诺维信（中国）生物技术有限公司出口发票</nsrmc>

    <records>4</records>
</head>
<data>
    <record id="1">
       <fpdm></fpdm>
    </record>
</data>
</body
But after using this XSLT code it removes :id from <record_1 id=> and generated the below code :
The xml file now doesn't contain teh attribute :id
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GBK"?>
<body>

Could you please provide your input
Plaese note : Here XI versin iS x1 3.0 SP7 . I have tried suing the Analyzer bean for the Encoing of Chinese : GBK Intsead of UTF-8 in the Namespace . But AF_Modules/XMLAnonymizerBean is not comptacible with XI 3.0 SP7
Hence i have used the following code to remove namespcae and add Encoding :GBK instead of UTF-8:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You could use exclude-result-prefixes.
For example:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:wt="http://www.example.com" exclude-result-prefixes="wt">
</xsl:stylesheet>

Extra texts got spits out from XML XSL transformation?

Hi:
I was trying to output a transformed text from a XSL with XML file, It seems that it spits out all the values from xml file inbetween all the element tags. But all I really need is just a small chunk of it. Does any one know how to get rid of the extra stuff from the generated text?
Thanks

If your XSL doesn't specify what to do with a particular node, the default is to copy it to the output. That's what is happening to you. The remedy is for your XSL to specify a template for the root node ("/") that produces the output you want. Or something like that, your details are rather sketchy.

How to remove objects from pics using LR...

I am not a professional photographer and I do not have a whole lot of photo editing knowledge. I started out several years ago using Photoshop elements 5 and eventually learned how to do several things like moving objects around or removing them from a photo, or moving someone's face into a different picture if their eyes were closed and lots of nice editing features. I loved it and still love it. My laptop was getting really old and slow so I just recently purchased a new computer which has windows 8 on it. I loaded my photoshop elements and cannot get it to open or work properly and am wondering if it's because of the windows 8 operating system. So I then decided to purchase a new photo editing software. I decided (quickly.. too quickly) to purchase adobe lightroom just because it had very good reviews online. Now I have several pictures that need to be edited for Christmas and I cannot find any "lasso tool" or any thing similar right now.. I was so used to using the layers and features from the PE and now my heart is broken because I feel so lost and maybe broke at the same time!! This program is soooo different than what I was used to using but I don't even know if I can do the same things with it. EXAMPLE: there is an air conditioner unit in one of the photos I've taken and I was planning on removing it from the picture. Also I was aiming on moving a face over from another picture because of some closed eyes.. Someone please tell me, is this program capable of doing these things or can I only play with the lighting in this? Will I have to spend more of my $$ to get another Photoshop elements to get the features I use?

These tasks are tasks for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, not for Lightroom, which is more an image data base.

Error removing data from MDS using WLST

I'm new at MDS so i want to remove some data which I inserted in the wrong structure....sounds quite easy. After some looking around I should be able to do this using a deployment plan and WLST. I chose the last one as I am not realy familiar yet with deployment plans. I connect with my server and started WLST did the following:
wls:/offline> connect ('weblogic', 'mypassword' , 't3://localhost:8001')
Connecting to t3://localhost:8001 with userid weblogic ...
Successfully connected to managed Server 'soa_server1' that belongs to domain 'MY_DOMAIN'.
Warning: An insecure protocol was used to connect to the
server. To ensure on-the-wire security, the SSL port or
Admin port should be used instead.
wls:/MY_DOMAIN/serverConfig> deleteMetadata(application='soa-infra', server='soa-server1', docs='/apps/deploy/*')The outcome was:
Location changed to custom tree. This is a writable tree with No root.
For more help, use help(custom)
and after a while it closed the WLST connection. Can anyone tell me how I can remove data from my repository or what is going wrong here?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I think you were getting this error because you had your server name incorrect : soa-server1 instead of soa_server1. Also it might be possible that soa-infra is installed on the different server.
