Render XML in Portal - brainstorming

All,
Suppose we have a bunch of XML files - perhaps on the file system - perhaps in a database. Together, they represent an external content management system.
I'm looking for ideas on architecting a "document delivery system" within Portal R2.
Here are some of the requirements:
[1] Portlets created and added to Portal pages
[2] Content available to Portal (on filesystem or db)
[3] Hitting page renders content within portlet
[4] Change in content produces corresponding change in portlet
[5] Process needs to be automatic - only change needed is in underlying XML file - portlet sees any needed change
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Doug

Ok, I solved the problem myself, it was not that complicated...
Just got the HTTPServletResponse from the request and wrote the output there.

Can anyone please describe Portal's current use of XML. Also, what are the future plans for XML in Portal.

Loading of data from XML into Portal

Hi,
I have a XML schema generated from a Word document, containing chapters and appendices in diffrent levels.
Is it possible to load this document into Portal text items, keeping the chapter/appendix structure?
Regards,
Nathalie

Several third-party tools support converting a DTD into a "first-cut" XML Schema. It likely will need a lot of subsequent work to get it into a useable format -- since for example, all of the datatypes would need to be string.
The tools I've personally used to accomplish this (and surely there are others) are:
[list]
[*]XML Authority from Extensibility
[*]XML Spy 3.0 from Icon Software
[list]
The canonical format for XSU insert is precisely the default output format you would get by using XSU to generate XML for a select * from tablename statement.

Render xml.. too slow !!!

so:
I have a servlet , this servlet is divided in tree great sub-functions
- getPost() gets data from POST
- loadData() loads data inside the Object building a DOM
- render() take from every class the xml ( in cascade) and then do a render
the problem is in this last step.
(the application permits to do operations with a database SQL so, shows 'n' records with some buttons for edit, add etc....)
- getPost() 0.0 seconds
- loadData() 0.390 seconds
- render() 1.976 seconds
obviously the problem is in the render function
And here I do my question :
how can I reduce the computing time for rendering ?
how can taglibs help me ? ( if it can )
thanks

- sorry, I can't show you a lot of code because of the copyrights :)
I can tell you how it works ...
the render(Document xml) takes the xml Document and renders it with and xsl pre-setted ...that's all
- yes, I'm using XSLT
- yes the profiles says that the problem is here
there isn't another 'custom' method inside the render() :
Transformer transformerXsl =
factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new File(xslPath)));
transformerXsl.transform(source, htmlStream);
the bottleneck is here ... :(

Render xml and html content type in single jsp

I have 2 jsps, one jsp(a.jsp) is throwing content-type as HTML and other JSP(b.jsp) is throwing content-type as xml. I am making use of xsl to render the xml content in html format. But the problem is that i want to include b.jsp in a.jsp, and when i do so b.jsp doesn't make use of xsl for its rendering rather it displays the contents haphazardly.
Plese help if somebody knows the solution.

Below the following line ..
<html:form action="addContact">Add this new form field..
<html:hidden name="flag" value="0"/>Needless to say that this String variable flag should be defined in your ActionForm.
Next, instead of ...
<html:submit property="parameter"><bean:message key="ok.company" /></html:submit>Put this ...
<input type="button" name="xyz" onClick="callSubmit(1);" value='<bean:message key="ok.company" />'>Then add a JS function as below ...
<script>
function callSubmit(flg)
document.forms[0].flag.value=flg;
document.forms[0].submit();
</script>Finally in your ActionServlet, you need to find the value of the ActionForm variable flag via request.getParameter("flag").
In case the value is set to 1, then it means that you need to send the particular row to DB. You may add additional flag values to correctly identify theparticular row which you may want to send to DB.
Hope you got it.

Parse and render XML... and get original replicated?

Now that I've (temporarily) got iFS working (on another machine for now). I've got an XML question: I moved the airportdefinition.xml into the folder, and then subsequently moved the airport.xml into the folder, whereupon iFS parsed it and stored it. Yeah! However when examining (or copy out) the stored data, it is somewhat different than the original:
original:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Airport>
<Name>airport1.fly</Name>
<AirportCode>SFO</AirportCode>
<AirportName>San Francisco</AirportName>
<FolderPath>.</FolderPath>
</Airport>
As recreated by the renderer:
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
<AIRPORT>
<Name>airport1.fly</Name>
<Owner RefType="Name" ClassName="DIRECTORYUSER">system</Owner>
<ACL RefType="Name" ClassName="SYSTEMACCESSCONTROLLIST">Published</ACL>
<CreateDate format="MMM dd HH:mm">Nov 09 15:44</CreateDate>
<Creator RefType="Name" ClassName="DIRECTORYUSER">system</Creator>
<LastModifyDate format="MMM dd HH:mm">Nov 09 15:44</LastModifyDate>
<LastModifier RefType="Name" ClassName="DIRECTORYUSER">system</LastModifier>
<LockState>0</LockState>
<AIRPORTCODE>SFO</AIRPORTCODE>
<AIRPORTNAME>San Francisco</AIRPORTNAME>
</AIRPORT>
We'd like (to have cake and eat it) to be able to store parsed xml (to support queryability, indexing, reporting, etc.) but also want to be able to recreate the original xml UNCHANGED.
If we don't parse it, we can have unchanged data, but then limit the queryability. Other than storing the xml document twice (both parsed and not) is there any way to do this?

O. Portal XML util. Vs. O. Java XMLutil., whats the difference?????

O. Portal XML util. Vs. O. Java XMLutil., whats the difference?????
OK, in the O. Portal doc. there is this link:
http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/1021doc_otn/dev.102/a83730/toc.htm
that talks about
oracle.portal.utils.xml.v1
And then there is the O. Java XML utils. Talked about in:
http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/1021doc_otn/dev.102/a86030/adx17paj.htm#1000433
I guess my questions are:
1) Are there TRULY to different O. XML utils. that do the XSLT transformation, one being oracle.portal.utils.xml.v1, and the other being the O. Java XML utils????
2) When would you want to use the O..Portal XML (oracle.portal.utils.xml.v1,) stuff for XLST???? Is the oracle.portal.utils.xml.v1 stuff just as robust as O. Java XML utils???
3) When would you want to use the O..Java XML ( O. Java XML utils. ) stuff???? For XSLT???
THANKS!!!
null

Both use the same Oracle core XML Developer's Kit components for XML parsing and XSLT transformation.

with these unqualified (not prefixed to be specific to this portlet instance) parameter names, you will have to update your provider.xml file to set the <passAllUrlParams> to true.

What are the major logic steps of WL Portal Server process a portal request

Hi,
I comes from IBM and we provided a product to monitor most types of J2EE App Server about transactions and performance.
we will monitor WebLogic Portal Server in next release.
So would you please tell me:
How Weblogic Portal handles a page request from browser, what are the major logic steps that a page requests are fulfilled, which areas in Weblogic Portal are most likely to cause response time problem. For example, We monitor WebSphere Portal Server as the following major steps:
Portal Page loading, Model building, Page rendering, portlet action, etc....
we look forward to get your developer helps since we cann't find related documents over your website.
Thank you very much

WebLogic Portal, if Desktop enabled, it will render from Desktop->Portal->Books->Pages-->Portlets. You can get these information from WebLogic E-Docs.
