Restritions on id and name attributes?

Are there any known restrictions in respect to what ascii characters are valid for object id and name attribute?
I created (via xml file) a ObjectGroup (aka Organization) with id='#ID#ObjectGroup:Approve_org' name='Approve_org' displayName='Approve_org'
The Organiozation did not open and did not show the contained users.
With this id and name it worked fine.
id='#ID#ObjectGroup:ApproveOrg' name='ApproveOrg' displayName='Approve_org'
Any thoughts?

From my experience, the name and id attribute may contain pretty much every character - at least I have yet to find anything that isn't accepted. I even tried your example "Approve_org" and it worked (in IDM 8.1).
This is what I uploaded:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE ObjectGroup PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>

<ObjectGroup
      id='#ID#ObjectGroup#Approve_Org'
      name='Approve_Org'
      displayName='Approve_Org'
      creator='Configurator'
      primaryObjectClass='ObjectGroup'>
<PathFromTop>
    <List>
      <String>#ID#Top</String>
      <String>#ID#ObjectGroup#Approve_Org</String>
    </List>
</PathFromTop>
<MemberObjectGroups>
    <ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#Top' name='Top'/>
</MemberObjectGroups>
</ObjectGroup>Maybe you had something else wrong?

Id and name attributes on xsd elements

id, and name attributes on elements do not have a defined length, correct?
We are shredding an xml document into storage, currently we assign 255 characters for the field that will persist the values, since the id/name fields can be longer than this is there a best practice hat is recommended for xml authors not to create ids, and names with a long string.
I am working in a specialization of xml called XBRL,
Neil

Per the W3C standards, as I read them, you are correct. There is no limit on how long the attribute name (http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#attdecls) can be. Follow the Name link on that page and you'll see a Name is defined as NameStartChar (NameChar)*, which is unbounded in length.
What various tools, including Oracle implement, for max name lengths is not known to me but your 255 seems more than reasonable. The best practice in terms of node name length depends upon who created the schema and what pattern they followed.
For example, this ISO standard
ISO/IEC 11179-5:2005, Information technology — Metadata registries (MDR) — Part 5: Naming and identification principles. Available from
http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c035347_ISO_IEC_11179-5_2005(E).zip.
is used by NIEM but neither it nor additional NIEM restrictions put a max length on node names.
I've played around some with XBRL too and while I've seen a few long ones, I don't think they were over 50 characters so 255 would be more than enough. You could play around with all the .xsd schemas they have and look to see what the longest node name is and then set your length just over that but 255 is more than plenty in my opinion.

ID and Name attributes on same element

Please note that both these elements are the same, but one
has an "Name"
attribute in addition to an "ID" attribute
a) <select id="RES_state" size="1" >
b) <select name="RES_state" id="RES_state" size="1" >
In IE, I can use document.getElementById("RES_State") without
error with
both a) and b). However, in Firefox I get javascript error
("has no
properties" errror) if I use both attributes with same value
in Firefox.
Any ideas here?

Interesting, I thought not and was going to ask him what he
meant.
I suspect it had to do with the use of the the javascript -
eg;
document.getElementById("myID")

Retrieve Element ID and Name

I want to get element's id and name attributes from a web page by clicking on the element using VBA. I have a button in excel sheet and I want if a user clicks on that button, after that whenever user clicks(Right Click) on a element in a webpage, system
should return its element id(1st priority) through message box. If id is not present then it should return element name(2nd priority). If both Id and Name are not present then code will return some message stating that Id or Name not found.
Thanks!!

Does any have any update on this? Please help..
Thanks!!

Display entity-attributes and global-attributes in the same screen

Hi,
I have a question about entity.
Is it possible to display in the same screen, entity-attributes and global-attributes?
thanks
Rosalia

Hi Rosalia,
You can only display attributes from the current entity and the entity or entities that it is contained by (the parent entities).
So if you had the following data model
Global
..the person
...the income
the person is contained by global.
the income is contained by the person (which is contained by global).
If you want to create a person-level question screen, you can display global attributes on that screen by using subsitution like %global_field_1%. You cannot, however, input global attributes on that screen (ONLY attributes belonging to the person)
If you want to create an income-level question screen, you can display attributes from the person such as "tell us about %person_name%'s income..." as well as global attributes. Again, you cannot input person or global attributes on that screen (ONLY attributes belonging to the income)
However it only works from child-to-parent containment relationships! You cannot have a global question screen which loops through the person instances and displays attributes from the person, or from the income out-of-the-box.
We have managed to implement this using custom controls.
You can map individual attributes back up to the parent level, and then display them,
such as
the first person's name = InstanceValueIf(the people, the person's name, the person's id = 1)
the first person's name is now a global attribute and can be displayed on global question screens.
Hope this helps!

What is the value of the 'Name' attribute of an Instance of Resource Type IPv6 Adress?

See subject. I'm writing a Powershell script which is supposed to return the configured hostname and IP Address for a service associated with a role on a failover cluster. I'm using, e.g.. the following to retrieve the IPv4 Address:
$a1 = Get-ClusterResource "MyServiceDisplayName"
$b1 = Get-ClusterGroup $a1.OwnerGroup.Name | Get-ClusterResource | Where-Object {$_.ResourceType -eq "IP Address"}
$c1 = Get-ClusterResource $b1.Name | Get-ClusterParameter | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Address"}
and then I access the result via $c1.Value.
I want to do the same for an IPv6 address. The information I don't have is the 'Name' attribute of the result of the Get-ClusterParameter command, that is the condition of the Where-Object in the line which gives me $c1. (for the
IPv4 Address I got it by running this on our test server, but that does not have IPv6 configured, so I cannot do the same in that case). Is it simply 'Address' as well?
TIA, Thomas

File and boolean attribute on item

Hi,
I work with Oracle9iAS Portal PL/SQL API (9.0.2.6).
I define an item type (CAID = 213/ ID = 37399) with several attributes. When I try to create/modify an item I have problems with boolean attributes and file attributes.
In case of boolean attributes, I'm not able to set the value to true. I try with several values (IS_ON, True, 1) but the attribute is still set to false. Is there anything wrong with the value I assign to the attribute before creating the item ? When I try to create the item and then modifying the attribute, the value stay to false.
For the file attributes, I use the upload_blob function inside wwsbr_api and the file appear in the wwdoc_document table. I set the file attribute value with the return value of the upload_blob function.
When I call the add_item_post_upload, an error occurs (ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.NullPointerException : -29532)
Is this a bug or not ?
Thanks Eddy.

Hi Eddy:
On Friday, we put in a TAR with Oracle support about the identical problem. When editing an item using the API, the boolean attributes always reset. The values of the boolean attributes aren't even being changed. The only reason we need to set them again is the limitation of the API where you have to feed all attributes back in.
So far, Oracle has said it sounds like a bug and they want to know the exact sequence of steps to repeat it.

Bug: SecondaryKey "name" attribute, cannot open DB after closing

Welcome!
I would like to report the following issue (version 3.3.74). Let us assume the MANY_TO_MANY Author-Book relation:
@Entity
public class AuthorEntity {
bq. @PrimaryKey(sequence="authorSeq") \\ private long authorId;
bq. @SecondaryKey(relate = MANY_TO_MANY, relatedEntity = BookEntity.class, name = "bookId", onRelatedEntityDelete = DeleteAction.NULLIFY) \\ private Set<Long> bookIds;
bq. ...
@Entity
public class BookEntity {
bq. @PrimaryKey(sequence="bookSeq") \\ private long bookId;
bq. ...
I wanted to name the variable "bookIds", not the "bookId" in the AuthorEntity (no major reasons). To achieve this, I have used the "name" attribute of SecondaryKey to point the appopriate member of BookEntity. The Javadoc documentation of SecondaryKey class states:
public abstract String name
Specifies the name of the key in order to use a name that is different than the field name.
This is convenient when prefixes or suffices are used on field names. For example:
+class Person {+
bq. +     @SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE, relatedEntity=Person.class, name="parentSsn")+ \\ +     String m_parentSsn;+
+}+
It can also be used to uniquely name a key when multiple secondary keys for a single entity class have the same field name. For example, an entity class and its subclass may both have a field named 'date', and both fields are used as secondary keys. The name property can be specified for one or both fields to give each key a unique name.
When I create the Environment for the first time, populate it with sample data, and try to add, find, remove the SecondaryKey works as it should. The appropriate id is being nullified.

Hi Lukasz,
Thank you very much for this bug report. You gave us exactly the information we needed and we have been able to reproduce the bug.
Note that if you enable assertions (-ea) you'll see an assertion fire earlier than the NPE is throw. For example:
java.lang.AssertionError

at com.sleepycat.persist.impl.Store.<init>(Store.java:180)
at com.sleepycat.persist.EntityStore.<init>(EntityStore.java:165)I'll post back here when this is fixed and we know the exact scope of the problem.
A workaround for this problem is to remove the name property from the SecondaryKey annotation, as you probably already know.
Thanks again,

[JS-CS4] - How to read the XML Element and its Attributes

Dear All,
I have the doubt regarding: reading the xmlElement and its attributes.
Here I droping the xml script
//============= Start ======================//
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Fpath = File("../Projects/Entity_map.xml");
if (Fpath.exists)
   Fpath.open("r");
   var Cont= Fpath.read();
var roots = new XML(Cont);
var myEveryName = new Array();
var myEveryContent = new Array();
var myEveryAttributes = new Array();
traverse(roots);
//$.writeln(myEveryName);
//$.writeln(myEveryContent);
$.writeln(myEveryAttributes.length);
for(var i=0; i<myEveryAttributes.length; i++)
$.writeln(myEveryAttributes[i]);
function traverse(tree) {
    myEveryName.push(tree.name());
myEveryContent.push(tree.text());
myEveryAttributes.push(tree.getAttribute);
// you get the contents by using .text() insted of .name()
    if(tree.elements().length() > 0) {
        for(var i=0; i<tree.elements().length(); i++) {
            traverse(tree.elements()[i]);
//============== End =====================//
and the XML Structure is
//===============XML =====================//
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>< Entity_Convertion>
< Entitys char="Ç" GID="173"/></
Entity_Convertion>
//===============End ====================//
Here I'm getting the XML Elements and its contents, but not xmlAttributes.
Please any one can help me, then I will appreciate...

Bug? - Submitting page with html name attribute in content

Hello,
I use a modified version of Task Manager to track tasks in my group at work. I wanted a "non-standard" report to show the users the history of their task at the bottom of a page. Basically I created a PL/SQL function that returns preformatted HTML as I would like it to be displayed in a row of the report. The end result is great - a highly customized report layout with little effort.
The problem is that recently a user copied and pasted some HTML from another web application into the body of a task and saved it. The next time the task was opened my report at the bottom displayed what they had entered previously. However, this time when the user clicked save and submitted the page, he got a page can not be displayed error. After a little digging, I found that the HTML the user had pasted previously contained an HTML element that had a name attribute. When I removed the name attribute, the page submitted fine which leads me to believe that the ApEx engine tried to bind the value of that item with an application item and it choked when no match was found - similar to the way it chokes if you submit a valid item that contains more than 32767 bytes of information.
The fix for my situation is simple. I'll use regular expressions to find these name attributes when saving the page and strip them out. I only bring it up because it could possibly effect other users that might not be able to figure out what the problem is.

Dan,
Part of the data stream being emitted to the page is:
< input type="hidden" name="_ctl0:_ctl34:_ctl0:dgCriteria" value="_ctl0:_ctl34:_ctl0:dgCriteria" ...
Since your report does not escape the data, it gets interpreted by the browser as HTML -- a form input item in this case. And yes, modplsql complains because that name cannot be bound to a PL/SQL input parameter in the form-handling procedure.
The correct way to handle this generic problem (second-order cross-site scripting) is to always escape output to the browser unless you control the content from origin to the time it is emitted.

Why i have to specify the parameters (property and name) in both tags?

Recently i learned how to populate a html:select with data from a DB table with a int value and a String value (value and label of an option). For that i create a business object that represent one pair value&label (i called categoryBO) and another business object that contains a list of the business objects categoryBO. So in my JSP i have the next code:
<html:select name="lista" property="listaPropiedades">
<html:optionsCollection name="lista" property="listaPropiedades" value="varValor" label="varLabel" />
</html:select> Well i understand the next: name is the name of the business object that contains the list with the objects that represents the options in the select tag; property is the name of the list object, in the business object i need to have the getters and setters for that list; then value is the name of the variable that contains the data that will be the value of each option and label is the name of the variable that contains the data that will be the value of each label.
But i have the next questions:
1. Why i have to establish the parameters property and name for bot html:select and html:optionsCollection? Why not only in html:select or only html:optionsCollection?
2. In the ActionForm for my JSP i don�t know what data type have to use to declare the variable that's linked with the option or with the select. I'm using Object for now.
3. Why the only way to populate the html:optionsCollection in the Action is passing the object in the request object as an atribute in the next way:
request.setAttribute("lista", objectThatContainsList);instead
((ActionForm)form).setListaPropiedades(objectThatContainsList);why's that? I have the same question when i'm populatina a normal html table using a logic:iterate tag or using a display:table tag from displaytag library.

Ok, you have one big misconception here - you're using the same name/property for both the select component and its contents.
The html:select should refer you to ONE selected value (in this case an int). It should tie to a field on your action form.
The html:optionsCollection should refer to a list of beans used to populate this select component.
<html:select property="selectedItem">
<html:optionsCollection name="myList" property="listOfProperties" value="varValor" label="varLabel" />
</html:select>
1. Why i have to establish the parameters property and name for bot html:select and html:optionsCollection? Why not only in html:select or only html:optionsCollection?Because they actually refer to two different things, and should be two different values.
html:options gets the list of possible values
html:select stores the "selected" option. (consider what you would have if you just used a standard html:input here, and typed the id directly in - THATS the property to bind to)
2. In the ActionForm for my JSP i don�t know what data type have to use to declare the variable that's linked with the option or with the select. I'm using Object for now.You do now - because it is declared/mapped seperately
3. Why the only way to populate the html:optionsCollection in the Action is passing the object in the request object as an atribute in the next way:Its not.
The way you mentioned is also valid. If both the "selectedItem" and "listOfItems" are properties on your action form, you can leave out the "name" attribute, and they will be found there.
However if you are dealing with request scoped beans, you will have to populate the list on each access of the page - you will need a "load" action to poupulate the bean with the items for the dropdown, and make sure that it is always populated when you return to it (eg on an error condition).
That is why setting it as an attribute is sometimes preferable.

Name attribute not giving the desired result in form tag

Hi,
I am using struts and the name attribute in form tag is not giving me the desired reuslt. The code is
<html:form name="loginActionForm" type="source.form.LoginActionForm" action="/login.do" method="post">
</html:form>
when I am trying to use the name in javascript then I am getting an error
"document.loginActionForm " is null or not an object.Where am I going wrong?

I did so but the name I have used in the form tag is the same as what i have used in javascript.I dont think that it is a javascript error and it must be some mistake I made in the form tag.Also one more thing is it necessary to use the type attribute if you use the name attribute.

How to apply Name attribute to rowset while creating a rowset in TRX

Hi all,
I have two transactions.
In my first transaction, I am creating a multi-rowset XML document using couple of repeaters and XML Output actions block from BLS such as Rowset and Row.
In my second transaction, I am loading my first transactions multi-rowset XML document output and doing some processing on it. Since its multi-rowset document, in the second transaction I need to provide my rowset number as shown below..
Rowsets/Rowset[1]/Row
and
Rowsets/Rowset[2]/Row
I would like to assign some names to these Rowsets in my first transactions and refer those names in my second transaction.
see below what I want
Rowsets/Rowset[testname1]/Row
and
Rowsets/Rowset[testname2]/Row
So the question is, Can I assign a name to the Rowset, while its being created in BLS.
Reference :-
I am sure that, name attribute is possible in XML rowset, as shown below.
                        <Rowsets>
          <Rowset name="testname1">
               <Row>
               </Row>
          </Rowset>
          <Rowset name="testname2">
               <Row>
               </Row>
          </Rowset>
     </Rowsets>
Many thanks in advance for suggestions.

Hello Jeremy,
thanks for your inputs.
Currently I am fetching data by requesting the Rowset by index number itself.
Since, the endpoint for my xml document is java servlet and an external XSL Stylesheet, I am curious to know if I could request data by Rowset name.
This will help me and the application debugger's in future as the Rowsets are more than 10 in quantity and hence it becomes bit difficult to use index numbers.

What's the use for "name" attribute?

Almost every object has a "name" attribute and "display name" attribute, e.g. page, tab, template.
What is the exact use of the name attribute. For my understanding, one of its use to is contruct a URL for the object. For example, when I want to add one item to a page, the shows me the path to the page is:
PAGE / HELLO_PAGE_GROUP / HELLO_PAGE / TAB37465 / TAB37469 /
TAB37465 is the name of the tab attribute. I realized this and went to change the name of the tab to a more meaningful value. However, when I try to add the item, the page Path did not change. Is this a oracle internal bug?
I have similar problem with navigation page. I published a navigation page as portlet. I changed the name of the navigation page and use the name as the portlet name, the new name of the portlet can not be reflected in the portlet repository.

Jerry,
1. I tried to add an item to the page within the tab. On the "add item" page, it shows me the path to the current page. Ok, Let's forget about "item", and just talk about the path to a tabbed page. The path/URL never changes, even after I change the tab "name" attribute.
2. I am talking about the name of the portlet within portlet repository. Let's see within page group A, I created navigation page with name of "test". I published the page as a portlet. In the portlet repository, I can see a new portlet "test" under "new/A". I changed navigation page name from "test" to be "B", however, the portlet name never changed in the portlet repository. It's always "test".
