Retrieve XPath of a node : Urgent

Hey guys,
I have a small problem.
I have an application in which a XML is displayed in browser and when user selects a node i want the XPath of that node.
I got a handy javascript utility to do the same but it is not very efficient.
Can anybody tellme how to do it.
Thanks

Getting the XPath from a Node

Hey Folks, have a scenario where i need to link my data, i.e one node points to another node, e.g
<data>
<liability id="1">
<value> 10000 </value>
</liability>
<asset id = "2">
<value> 20000 </value>
</asset>
</data>
so take the case above, i have a house which is an asset and i have a mortgage(liability) on that house, now i want to show that in my asset that there is a liability on this asset, so i need to come up with a way to link my asset to a liability, now easiest way in my thinking is just point to the XPath of the liability!! Now problem is this, at the data level that im working at, i know what data node im working on but i dont know its absolute path, in my case the above XML is just a snippet of what im dealing with, there is more hierarchical levels in my document!! Maybe im blind but i couldnt see from the API how to get the XPath of a node?? is there existing API which does this or will i have to go ahead and write something to come up with the XPath!! or does anyone have any other suggestions as to how i would do my link??
The way i see my XML when finished is something like this
<data>
<liability id="1">
<value> 10000 </value>
</liability>
<asset id = "2">
<value> 20000 </value>
<liability> /data/liability[@id='1'] </liability>
</asset>
</data>
any thoughts are welcome,
cheers,
LL

A better design would be to make your "id" attribute the key... looking back at your post, it seems that you have done that already. So your XML should just look something like this:<data>
<liability id="1">
<value> 10000 </value>
</liability>
<asset id = "2" liabilityid="1">
<value> 20000 </value>
</asset>
</data>Then when your code needs to match the liability to the asset, you can easily build the XPath to find it. (Of course if there can be more than one liability per asset, you shouldn't use a liabilityid attribute as I did in the example.)

Using XPath to create nodes

Hi,
Obviously the main use of XPath is to query the state of an XML document... the equivalent to a "select" statement in SQL.
DOM4J has methods that allow you to use XPath as the equivalent to "insert" statements in SQL. You can specify an XPath like "/Hello/World/Value = 3" and apply this XPath to an XML document so that it creates something like this for you:
<Hello>
<World>
<Value>3</Value>
</World>
</Hello>
This is actually very useful for an investment banking application that I'm working on.
The problem with DOM4J is that it doesn't handle attributes or conditionals well. If you specify
/Hello[@name=2]/World = 3
I would expect
<Hello name=2>
<World>3</World>
</Hello>
to be produced. Instead, it produces
<Hello[@name=2]>
<World>3</World>
</Hello>
These are all simple examples. What I'm doing in real life is using XPath to insert nodes into a complicated XML document that already has a lot of structure. I'm only adding one or two elements to big documents.
Is there anything at all like this available in the JDK 1.5 release. I've had a good look, and XPath looks like it's only for queries. Is this correct?

I think this might do what you need...
// Create a dummy XML document
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
InputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream("<test><e1/></test>".getBytes());
Document doc = db.parse(bais);
// Define the XPath expression to "select" the parent element in the document
XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
XPathExpression xpathExpression = xpath.compile("/test/e1");
// Select the parent node (should probably chuck an ex if not present)
Node node = (Node) xpathExpression.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODE);
// Create and append the child element
node.appendChild(doc.createElement("newElement"));
// Convert the Document into a string
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(baos);
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.transform(source, result);
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><test><e1><newElement/></e1></test>
System.out.println(baos.toString());

Author running slow. Failed to retrieve state of intermediary node error

Hi there,
I am having a problem with the Author running very slow to the point of unusable.
The setup is 1 Author server, 1 Publish server, and 1 Web/Dispatcher.
After checking in the log, I found following error repeated throughout the log, while there is not such problem in the Publish (in the log, and access speed).
In each of this error is preceeded by Reverse Replication message.

Please take thread dump that should give you an idea where contention is.

XPATH to determine node name in condition of Interface determination

Hi,
does anybody out there know whether one can use a condition such as "name(/p1:Envelop/p1:Body/*)" to retrieve the name of the first element underneath the Body structure which is usually the payload. In the example below. I'd like to retrieve "ns0:BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL" or just "BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL" which I would like to than compare in my "=" condition.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<sap:Envelope xmlns:sap="urn:sap-com:document:sap" version="1.0">
<sap:Header xmlns:rfcprop="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:properties">
    <saptr:From xmlns:saptr="urn:sap-com:document:sap:transport">BC1</saptr:From>
    <saptr:To xmlns:saptr="urn:sap-com:document:sap:transport">BC2</saptr:To>
</sap:Header>
<sap:Body>
     <ns0:BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL xmlns:ns0="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
      <CACHE_RESULTS/>
      <USERNAME>bauerd</USERNAME>
     </ns0:BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL>
</sap:Body>
</sap:Envelope>
I have a client that once to migrate his SAP BC interfaces to PI without having to change the sending application which is a CICS mainframe application. The mainframe application invokes various BAPI's by just passing in a different payload into the above envelope. The payload is always the request structure for the BAPI. The message is send synchronously to SAP BC which than calls the BAPI and returns the response to the caller, again in form of the above envelope and as payload the BAPI response structure.
To convert this to PI I have to be able to initiate different interface mappings depending on what BAPI is requested. This is pretty straight forward as there are no special mapping transformation taking place in SAP BC for both the BAPI request and response. However I need to determine what interface mapping to call depending on BAPI requested by the CICS application.
As said the customer does not want to change the sending application. The only part we are allowed to change is the URL which changes from SAP BC to the SAP PI Plain HTTP sender adapter. The post will always use the same outbound message interface. Therefore I can't use SAP PI's standard receiver determination. Using this adapter I will also be able to get access to the whole message envelope as outlined above.
I already got all of this working nicely with the exception that I can't determine what BAPI is requested and therefore what interface mapping I have to trigger in my interface determination.
Has anybody used a condition as above and if so how should it look like in the condition editor. The one outlined above does not seem to work. However it is also not failing in PI.
Also I don't want to change my approach for doing this. However if it is not possible to retrieve the node name using the xpath statement (as outlined above) in the condtion editor than I will have to look for a different approach to resolve this problem. Any suggestions would than be more than welcome.
Many thanks in advance.
Dieter

If the structure is not too big, you can use:
//ns0:BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL EX
otherwise take the full path:
/p1:Envelop/p1:Body/ns0:BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL EX
The namespaces have to be declared.

Retrieving a xml element/node as clob

New at this - so forgive the basic frustration here...
I have successfully loaded an XML file to be stored as Binary XML table in Oracle 11g. The XML file represents and describes data for use on websites, hence there is a vary large node representing the body text of an HTML page.
I have not attempted loading this XML file with an internal DTD or external xsd at this time, trying to keep things simple for now.
The following query results in an error
SELECT extractValue(value(c),'/article/article_body_page_html') article_body_page_html
FROM WEBSITE_CONTENT2 a,
TABLE(XMLSequence(Extract(object_value,'/website_content2'))) b,
TABLE(XMLSequence(Extract(value(b),'/website_content2/articles/article'))) c
WHERE extractValue(value(c),'/article/article_id') = '61041';
ERROR String result too large
I have tried XMLCAST(extractValue(value(c),'/article/article_body_page_html') AS CLOB) to no avail
It would seem I cannot be the first person running into this issue - and not being a PL/SQL or XML guru - I need some specific examples of retrieving a node/element where the data represented is:
1. Variable in length
2. Exists in the xml file as cdata
3. probably well over 4000 characters.
Could someone please help to provide a solution to what seems a very basic issue.
Thanks in advance.

From the 11.1 documentation on ExtractValue it has
"For documents based on XML schemas, if Oracle can infer the type of the return value, then a scalar value of the appropriate type is returned. Otherwise, the result is of type VARCHAR2. For documents that are not based on XML schemas, the return type is always VARCHAR2."
You should be able to use (not tested)
extract(value(c),'/article/article_body_page_html/text()').getClobVal()to get around this problem and ensure the extracted data is always treated as a clob by Oracle.

Retrieving xpath in any xml type service

Hi,
We have any xml service type proxy which receives 2 different types of XML messages.In one of the XML messages,we need to branch out based on value of certain element.
But xpath doesn't seem to work.Xpath retrieved using messaging type service is:
*$body/ref:ONIXMessage/ref:Product/ref:RecordSourceType/text()*
This xpath works with messaging type service.
But when the same was used in any xml type service ,ALSB unable to recognize the namespace and hence the xpath was modified to:
*$body/ONIXMessage/Product/RecordSourceType/text()*
But this does not return anything.
Any idea as to how to get the data from xpath?
Thanks.
Arti

Hi,
You can add the namespace to use that in inline x-queries/x-path expressions. Please refer -

XPath - Return current node without child nodes

Good day.
I hv the following XML for example and I tried to write a XPath query to return just the <AAA> and omit all the other child nodes (BBB and CCC and BBBBB) .
<AAA Name='aaa' ID='aaa'>
<BBB>bbbbbbbbbb</BBB>
<BBBBB>bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb</BBBBB>
<CCC>cccccccccc</CCC>
</AAA>I tried //AAA/self::* but it still return the whole childnodes to me. I searched in internet as well but I didn't found any solution for that. May be I was using the wrong keywords to search.
Any idea how to accomplish this ?
Thanks.
SonicWave

XPath will only return nodes that already exist in the document. What you are asking for is another node that is constructed from that AAA node by removing all its children. I don't know how you would do that, because I don't know anything about the structures you are using (DOM? XSLT? What?). But XPath can't do it.

Jaxp xpath evaluate method node list parameter?

The javadoc for XPath.evaluate(String, Object, QName) says that the second parameter is the context "node or node list for example". I'm familiar with the concept of an XPath context node. What does it mean to pass a node list as the second argument?
With Xalan 2.7 and this xml:
<doc><a/></a></doc>
NodeList nl = (NodeList) xp.evaluate("//*", doc, XPathConstants.NODESET);
Number n = (Number) xp.evaluate("count(self::node())", nl, XPathConstants.NUMBER);
Results in zero.
NodeList nl2 = (NodeList) xp.evaluate("self::node()", nl, XPathConstants.NODESET);
Results in an empty node list.

Specify the XML document as the context node.
InputSource inputSource =
    new InputSource(new FileInputStream(xmlDocument)));xmlDocument is the java.io.File object of the XML document.
NodeSet nodes =
    (NodeSet) xPath.evaluate(xpathExpression,
        inputSource, XPathConstants.NODESET);

XPath for root node in condition editor

Hi,
I have a HTTP to IDOC scenario. I have to accept any incoming document,(i will know only at runtime whether it is ORDERS or INVOICE or ASN etc) and post it to the respective receiver based on what is the name of the root node. But how do i specify this in the condition editor? if i give /* or name(/*) it does not work.Can anyone suggest a solution for this?
Thanks
Shakthi

Well I have one solution but don't konw if it is worth for you.
First create one mapping called pre_mapping in this mapping map all fields and the root node value to the target structure correspondingly . Now use BPM with simple receive & send steps. BPM should send the message back to XI.
Use the final mapping with this messge retuned from BPM.
Now use the x-path and select the field from source structre (which BPM has sent back to XI) which contains IDOC type. So in this case your sender system will be BPM.

(ABAP) Internal table of type context node (Urgent)

Hi All,
I created a internal table in a view say ABC_VIEW using a context node say ABC_NODE. This is did using following statement:
it_abc type table of if_abc_view=>element_abc_node.
Now I would like to pass this as a exporting parameter to a method in component controller. Kindly suggest how i can achieve this. I tried the following:
it_abc exporting element_abc_node.
But this does not work.
Kindly reply soon.
Regards,
Anoop
Message was edited by: Anoop Singh Saini

Hi Anoop,
Web Dynpro generates an internal table (and structure) for each context node in a controller's context. Such a definition is local to the controller where the node is defined, since a different controller could have a node of the same name with different attributes. Nonetheless, it is possible to transfer the data of a node to another controller by:
(a) Using a DDIC structure for a context node. The generated structure and the DDIC structure are the same then. The generated internal table is a standard table. If you define one in DDIC or somewhere else, you can use it for typing the parameter.
(b) Transfer the pointer to the node! You can still access it from any other place.
Best regards,
Thomas

How to get xpath of each node?

I need to read xml data and put it on the browser. I thought frist i will get xpath of all the elements and get its value calling xpath from my another java program.
Is there any better way to do it ? please suggest me?! In the following code the last element's number is
getting incremented where i want that to start from [0].
Can anyone please help me?
My code as follows:
book.xml
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding= "ISO-8859-1" standalone ="no"?>
<book>
    <person>
          <first>Kiran</first>
          <last>Pai</last>
          <age>22</age>
    </person>
    <person>
          <first>Bill</first>
          <last>Gates</last>
          <age>46</age>
    </person>
    <person>
          <first>Steve</first>
          <last>Jobs</last>
          <age>40</age>

* for above book.xml, my program will report
* //book[0]
//book[0]/person[0]
//book[0]/person[0]/first[0]---> This segment is working fine.
//book[0]/person[0]/last[0]
//book[0]/person[0]/last[0]/name[0]
//book[0]/person[0]/age[0]
//book[0]/person[1]
//book[0]/person[1]/first[1]->(this is wrong: should be //book[0]/person[1]/first[0])
//book[0]/person[1]/last[0]

XPath API getting Nodes

Hi,
My Data XML converted through Xstream
<Data>

<PName>Product NameX2</PName>
</Product>
</ProductList>
</DataVO>
</DataList>
</Data>
The Problem
=========
While I am maintaining the relationship parsing through XPath API , I am giving to fetch products as API path as "/Data/Datalist/DataVO/ProductList/Product/ProductId" to get the list of products, I can able to get the 4 Products NodeList, But I want to set the each products "VoId" , Like P101 related with 100, P102 related with 100, P201 related with 101, P202 related with 101. Any Sugesstions, parsing logics?

Namespaces are not evaluated as XML constructs in XPath, but namespaces are required to be configured in the parser. Refer
