Retain exact format of XML Document

Hi
I am trying to search for a particular value in an XML Document and replace with the value given by the user and write back the XML document, using xerces parser with jdk1.4.
I am successfull in doing this. But i am losing the exact format of my original document. basically all the attributes in all tags are getting sorted alphabetically.
for e.g <test NAME ="myname" LEVEL ="0" HIDDEN ="NO" DATATYPE ="char" />
my output xml looks like this
<test DATATYPE ="char" HIDDEN ="NO" LEVEL ="0" NAME ="myname" />
how to retain the same format. Any help?

Since the order of attributes is specifically defined as not important in the XML definition, why do you care.
There is no requirement for any parser to present the attributes in the same order they are coded -- they can either be in sequential order or any other order that is convenient.
I guess my question would be why is it a problem that the sequence is different?

[JS][CS3] Trying to use XSL to transform a XML document

I´m trying to do a script to format my XML in a particular way. The XSL document is ok because I´ve used this document to format an XML document in Indesign CS3 and works fine.However, when I´m trying to use this document in my scripting method I can´t obtain my XML formatted. I´ve tried it many times but I really don´t know where is the problem.
I´ve changed the XMLExportPreferences (allowTransform,TransformFileName)in my scripting method before exporting my XML in order to obtain a formatted XML.
Anyone have any idea? What are the steps to make this work?
Thank u,
Peter

I'm having a similar problem but with importing XML. When I run this script I get a dialogue saying that "Stylesheet 'Macintosh HD:Users:myFolder:transform.xsl, specified in the XSLT processing instruction can not be found." But this is the location of the stylesheet??

main();
function main(){
mySetup();
mySnippet();
function mySetup(){
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
var myRootXMLElement = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0);
var myXMLTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("body");
var myXMLElement = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.add(myXMLTag);
myDocument.select(myXMLElement);

Error:SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: Server was unable to read request. --- There is an error in XML document (1, 447). --- Input string was not in a correct format.

Hi All,
We have a scenario of FTP-->PI---> Webservice. While triggering the data in the FTP, it is failing in the PI with the below error
SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: Server was unable to read request. ---> There is an error in XML document (1, 447). ---> Input string was not in a correct format.
Can you please help?

Hi Raja- It seems to be a data quality issue.
Check for the value @ 1447 position in the xml message that you are trying to send to web service..
may be a date filed/decimal value which is not in expected format.

Help bring a multipage scanned document (TIFF) in PDF format using XML Publ

Help bring a multipage scanned document (TIFF) in PDF format using XML Publisher.
In the generated XML file data into BLOB field is, but their XML Publisher can not handle.
If the output TIFF, multipage PDF file in the report, the report prints a blank.
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/tiff"> <xsl:value-of select=".//FILE_DATA"/>
If the output JPG file to a PDF report, all displayed perfectly.

Thanks

It seems that these error messages MOD_OC4J_0184 etc are associated with some sort of timeout.
My problem finally solved - see my comments at:
Re: FOP
I would like to see the PDF format using FOP docs made clearer that 2 http servers are involved in this process, one serving htmldb pages and the other oc4j stuff.
Is it possible to do the PDF format using FOP with only the htmldb http server??

Formats not retained when importing into 'other' documents

When I import a word document or pdf document or any document that I want to store in one of the categories e.g. research or other, the document's formatting and layout is completely lost.
Why is this?
Are there any fixes for this?
If not, is it on the 'road map' and when?

Took suggestion and tried pasting.
No, doesn't retain all formatting. Paragraphs and bullets are OK, but Tables and Indenting and Font size and type are lost. I expect any shading and anything else like that wouldn't come across either. A virtual plain text translation is what you end up with.
Makes it difficult to insert scanned or pdf docs that can be part of your research for example.
OK...let's know when formatting and layout do get on roadmap.
Thanks Sunny

Any available tools for formating xml document?

Hi, I'm just looking for a java tool can help me sorting the xml document and text in alphabetical order. Anybody has any suggestion? Thanks a lot.

Well, you don't have to write your own sort necessarily. You'll have to write a Comparator to use with an existing sort routine, and you'll probably have to do some non-trivial manipulation of data just to get it to a point where you can use the existing sort routine.
Of course, depending on the situation, writing your own sort might be easier. (Say, if you were merging two sorted documents into one.)

Performance issues with FDK in large XML documents

In my current project with FrameMaker 8 I'm experiencing severe performance issues with some FDK API calls.
The documents are about 3-8 MBytes in size. Fortmatted they cover 150-250 pages.
When importing such an XML document I do some extensive "post-processing" using FDK. This processing happens in Sr_EventHandler() during the SR_EVT_END_READER event. I noticed that some FDK functions calls which modify the document's structure, like F_ApiSetAttribute() or F_ApiNewElementInHierarchy(), take several seconds, for the larger documents even minutes, to complete one single function call. I tried to move some of these calls to earlier events, mostly to SR_EVT_END_ELEM. There the calls work without a delay. Unfortunately I can't rewrite the FDK client to move all the calls that are lagging to earlier events.
Does anybody have a clue why such delays happen, and possibly can make a suggestion, how to solve this issue? Thank you in advance.
PS: I already thought of splitting such a document in smaller pieces by using the FrameMaker book function. But I don't think, the structure of the documents will permit such an automatic split, and it definitely isn't an option to change the document structure (the project is about migrating documents from Interleaf to XML with the constraint of keeping the document layout identical).

FP_ApplyFormatRules sounds really good--I'll give it a try on Monday. Wonder how I could miss it, as I already tried FP_Reformatting and FP_Displaying at no avail?! By the way, what is actually meant with FP_Reformatting (when I used it I assumed it would do exactly what FP_ApplyFormatRules sounds to do), or is that one another of Lynne's well-kept secrets?
Thank's for all the helpful suggestions, guys. On Friday I already had my first improvements in a test version of my client: I did some (not all necessary) structural changes using XSLT pre-processing, and processing went down from 8 hours(!) to 1 hour--Yeappie! I was also playing with the idea of writing a wrapper to F_ApiNewElementInHierarchy() which actually pastes an appropriate element created in a small flow on the reference pages at the intended insertion location. But now, with FP_ApplyFormatRules on the horizon, I'm quite confident to get even the complicated stuff under control, which cannot be handled by the XSLT pre-processing, as it is based on the actual formatting of the document at run-time and cannot be anticipated in pre-processing.

XML document convert into String and Insert into Database

Hello all,
In the FIle to File Scenario I want to send the data to the Reciever System in xml Document and convert into String and insert into Database.
Please can you tell me exact way how to send it.
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

HI,
As per my understanding your scenario is File to file where you will get output fiel in XML format.
Now that XMl payload need to be passed as single string in the database via XI.
You cauld do this but you need to imply some manipulations such as
With the help of standard API you need to concatenate the XML tags and create the structre along with the data.
For e.g. in your outpuf file the XML structre contain data as
<field1>ABCD</field1>
Then in mapping
The source field will be mappeda s concat(<field1>) + value of Source field "ABCD" + concat(</field1>) to the target field.
This is the way that you could achive the requirments else there is no direct way avaialble for it.
thanks

Generate piped-delimited formate from xml formate.

Does anybody know how to create a parser which will take any XML file and convert it into a pipe-delimited format?
I need to generate a pip-delimited format file from a xml file.

XML describes a tree structure. You won't be able to convert it into a pipe-delimited structure unless there's additional structural elements there sufficient to allow it to describe trees. If you were thinking of just having newlines delimit records and pipes delimit fields, that probably won't cut it. You could list data redundantly or use blank fields to help describe the tree structure, but that may or may not be what you want.
[add]
The point is that you have to decide what format you want, exactly.
BTW I once did a project like this that created an HTML table (another square format) from an XML document. We used SAX. It was pretty straightforward if you just throw a stack in there. But again you have to flesh out the requirements of what the output format will be before you can proceed.

Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset

I am getting Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset.
It was working fine from small result set object but when the size of resultset was more than 25,000, heap space error
I am already using -Xms32m -Xmx1024m
Is there a way to directly write to xml file from resultset instead of creating the whole document first and then writing it to file? Code examples please?
here is my code:
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
result = stmt.executeQuery();
result.setFetchSize(999);
Document doc = JDBCUtil.toDocument(result, Application.BANK_ID, interfaceType, Application.VERSION);
JDBCUtil.write(doc, fileName);
public static Document toDocument(ResultSet rs, String bankId, String interfaceFileType, String version)
    throws ParserConfigurationException, SQLException {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = builder.newDocument();
        Element results = doc.createElement("sims");
        results.setAttribute("bank", bankId);
        results.setAttribute("record_type", "HEADER");
        results.setAttribute("file_type", interfaceFileType);
        results.setAttribute("version", version);
        doc.appendChild(results);
        ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
        int colCount = rsmd.getColumnCount();
        String columnName="";
        Object value;
        while (rs.next()) {
            Element row = doc.createElement("rec");
            results.appendChild(row);
            for (int i = 1; i <= colCount; i++) {
                columnName = rsmd.getColumnLabel(i);
                value = rs.getObject(i);
                Element node = doc.createElement(columnName);
                if(value != null)
                    node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(value.toString()));
                else
                    node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(""));
                row.appendChild(node);
        return doc;
public static void write(Document document, String filename) {
        //long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        // lets write to a file
        OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(document); // Serialize DOM
        format.setIndent(2);
        format.setLineSeparator(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
        format.setLineWidth(80);
        try {
            FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(filename);
            BufferedWriter buf = new BufferedWriter(writer);
            XMLSerializer FileSerial = new XMLSerializer(writer, format);
            FileSerial.asDOMSerializer(); // As a DOM Serializer
            FileSerial.serialize(document);
            writer.close();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        //long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
        //System.err.println("W3C File write time :" + (end - start) + " " + filename);
    }

you can increase your heap size..... try setting this as your environment variable.....
variable: JAVA_OPTS
value: -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

How to create an XML document from a String.

Can anyone help,
     In the Microsoft XML Document DOM there is a load function load(string) which will create an XML document, but now we are switching to Java and I do not know how to create and XML document from a string, this string �xml document� is passed to my program from a webservice and I need to read several xml elements form it in a web server.
This string is a well formatted XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Countries NumberOfRecords="1" LanguageID="en-us">
     <Country>
          <CountryCode>AU</CountryCode>
          <CountryName>AUSTRALIA</CountryName>
     </Country>
</Countries>

Thanks PC!
I made it work using:
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
factory.setIgnoringComments(true); // We want to ignore comments
// Now use the factory to create a DOM parser
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
//TransformThisStringBuffer is a string buffer wich contain the 'XML document (String)'
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(TransformThisStringBuffer.toString().getBytes());
// Parse the InputStream and build the document
Document document = parser.parse(in);
But which one is faster InputSource or InputStream, were would you put the "new InputSource(new StringReader(yourString))" in the above code?

For the last 5 years (and in IPCC3.x/4.x,UCCX/5.x/7.x) I've used the same basic subflow to read a XML document that contains holiday dates where the queue should be closed. I've re-used this script on 20+ client installs and it's always worked. The structure of the script allows you to pass the path and filename of the XML document as parameters to the subflow. (The document is in the repository)
I loaded this script in UCCX 8.0.2 recently and it crashed with a Java.IO error. It looked like it was trying to read the file system directly and not the repository. (In the Linux appliance model this kind of makes sense but why is the step trying to read the file system directly?)
So I open a TAC case (SR# 615243125) and TAC tells me that the method of using the Create File Document step is not supported anymore and that I should specify the filename directly in the Create XML Document step
The problem that I see (aside from having to edit all my scripts that use XML files) is that the Create XML Document step is looking for the input to be a type DOCUMENT and not a type STRING. This seems to imply that I have to hardcode the document in each script that I deploy for a customer. When it was a string it was easy to construct the full file path from parameters and pass to the subflow.

The create XML document input can only be a type DOCUMENT

#1 Am I missing something here?
You are mixing two different issues together here.
The Create File Document step is indeed not needed or supported for creating an XML document. That is why there is a unique step; to trigger XML parsing within the MIVR subsystem.
Accessing the file system is restricted to a single folder within the VOS model (i.e. 8.0+). This folder is not backed up, replicated, or cleaned up automatically. It was intended to give developers some FS access as a temporary swap location only.
#2 Do you assume that you'll be able to load a script that
worked fine in UCCX 7 into UCCX 8 and that it should completely
function when you're doing everything according to the step reference
documentation.
Assume nothing; read the documentation and attend one of the dozens of partner training sessions that CCBU put on advising of the upcoming changes.
#3 Cisco didn’t document this in any way that I can find.
You're right, I guess, on the Create File vs. XML Document step. AFAIK Cisco never wrote a notice into the Step Reference Guide explicitly stating that you cannot use the Create File Document although the documentation seemed pretty clear to me without it. File system restrictions are documented in the 8.0 release notes.
Scripting and Development Series: Volume 2, Editor Step ReferenceUse the Create XML Document step to create a logical document that maps a document to another document variable (where the document has already been pre-parsed as an XML document and is ready to be accessed by the Get XML Document Data step).Use this step before the Get XML Document Data step to obtain data from a document formatted using the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
#4 How can you use the Create XML Document step in a fashion that would
let you construct the path of the file and the filename previously in
the script so you could pass it to a subflow ? It would seem this functionality has been killed in UCCX 8
No it hasn't; just concatinate a string to build the Source Document parameter the step needs. Example: "DOC[" + myFilePath + "]"

Creating an Element for an XML Document

Assuming I have an XML file
file.xml
<root>
<child1>
<child2>
<child100>
<root>
i do
SAXBuilder parser = new SAXBuilder();
doc = parser.build(file);
root = doc.getRootElement();This returns a root elemnet for the entire tree.Now my question is how do i create a root element for say jus the top 10 children? That is, is there a way i can create a document just reading the first 10 elements from the file tree above so that when i do a getChildren on root I should have only 10 elements in the list.

| 1. How are the attributes of an XML element can be stored to the database
XML SQL Utility (which XSQL uses under the covers) only stores
documents in the canonical format. You'll need to use an XSLT
transformation to transform data into the canonical format
(including transforming attribute values into elements whose
names correspond to the column in which you'd like to store it)
| 2. How can I store a single XML document to multiple database tables?
I outline several techniques for this in my upcoming
O'Reilly book, "Building Oracle XML Applications".
The basic idea is to either:
(1) Use an Object View with an INSTEAD OF INSERT trigger, or
(2) Use a technique that transform the inbound document
into a multi-table insert-format and passes each
relevant part for insert to the XML SQL Utility separately.
