Sending UTF-8 data via http post

Hello,
I'm generating an xml to be sent via http post method. Before sending, I'd like to convert it to utf-8, but Oracle converts it to utf-16, no matter what I do.
This is what I send with utl_http.write_text:
   convert(l_clob,'AL32UTF8')...but I see utf-16 encoded output on the server side.
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION is 10.2.0.1.0
NLS_CHARACTERSET is EE8ISO8859P2
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET is AL16UTF16
But I do not use NCHAR variables.
Is http post considered like exporting, where the os's NLS_LANG is important?
Earlier, I managed to save utf-8 xml-files without setting any NLS% params. It was with:
        UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW(
            file   => file_handle,
            buffer => UTL_RAW.CONVERT(utl_raw.cast_to_raw(buffer),
                                      'AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8',
                                      'AMERICAN_AMERICA.'||charset
          );But this does not seem to work here, since I have to send 'text/xml'...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Laszlo

Not really the correct forum.. The methods you are using are more a PL/SQL issue than an XML DB issue. In general Oracle will convert the response into the character set requested by the client, are you sure your client is not requesting UTF-16.

How to send te XML data using HTTPS post call & receiving response in ML

ur present design does the HTTP post for XML data using PL/SQL stored procedure call to a Java program embedded in Oracle database as Oracle Java Stored procedure. The limitation with this is that we are able to do HTTP post; but with HTTPS post; we are not able to achieve because of certificates are not installed on Oracle database.
we fiond that the certificates need to be installed on Oracle apps server; not on database server. As we have to go ultimately with HTTPS post in Production environment; we are planning to shift this part of program(sending XML through HTTPS post call & receiving response in middle layer-Apps server in this case).
how i can do this plz give some solution

If you can make the source app to an HTTP Post to the Oracle XML DB repository, and POST contains a schema based XML document you can use a trigger on the default table to validate the XML that is posted. The return message would need to be managed using a database trigger. You could raise an HTTP error which the source App would trap....

Hi, thanks for your reply i knew the FileUplaod was the way forward.
I read topics advising to use the FileUpload and tried the following but it did not seem to work ( i get an HTTP Internal Server error when i try that):
try
DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload();
boolean isMultipart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
if( isMultipart )
List items = upload.parseRequest( request );
Iterator iter = items.iterator();
while( iter.hasNext() )
FileItem fileItem = ( FileItem ) iter.next();
File uploadedFile = new File("myreceivedfile.zip");
fileItem.write( uploadedFile );
}catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("RECEIVER: " + e.getMessage());
Also DiskFileUpload,isMultipartContent and parseRequest have a line going through the middle (horizontal middle).

Submitting a PDF form via HTTP Post: Beginner's Questions

Hi,
I am completely new to PDF forms, so I have been finding the documentation and options overwhelming.
I am hoping to get pointed to the documentation/tutorials/examples I really need.
I would like to build a "proof of concept" for my boss. I would like to include a screen in our Java ( JSP & Spring ) webapp where either a PDF form is embedded or is accessed via a link.
I have
Adobe Acrobat Distiller X standard license
Adobe Acrobat X Standard
Microsoft Office 2010
I made a small, 3 field Microsoft Word form. I then converted it via DIstiller into a PDF form.
I then found this document about how to submit a PDF form to a server side component:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/form-submit-e-mail-demystified
My big problem with this document it doesn't have an example nor an example showing what is going on in a full HTML page. As I result I have some questions:
Can I see such an example somewhere?
Does the call to the javascript function doc.SubmitForm(urlToMyServerSideComponent) go in a script tag on the HTML page like other javascripts?
Can I execute that submit function from an HTML button or do I need to put a "submit" button on the PDF form?
Do I need Adobe LiveCycle in order to create a PDF form with a "submit" button? Free versions?
Can I send via HTTP POST ?
Do I need Adobe LiveCycle to crate a PDF form with a digital signature?
Is there a document/tutorial that fits where I am starting off from? ( Please no books, I am tyring to show my boss that this is something that can be done, in a reasonable amount of time, not time to get and go through a book ).
Thanks in advance for any tips that get me pointed in the right direction
Steve

To answer some of your specific questions:
2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

How to send plain text body in HTTP Post method ?

Can I use third party web services that communicate via http-post with webui builder?

Hi,
I have 5 computers (services) that are controlled via http-post. 3 of these services are implemented as labview webservices, 1 is labview socket (with python http-wrapper) and the last one is implemented with c# (lighttpd + cgi).
Can I use webui builder to controll all of them? Or, what is the simplest change so I can use webui builder?
What I would like to do, is to change the current javascript-UI to labview-webui. For the interfaces implemented with labview webservices, this is not a problem. For non-labview services, I don't know if it is even possible.
br,
Juha

To add to Mike's answer, the only caveat is that the server needs an appropriate clientaccesspolicy.xml file at the root level (http://yourserver/clientaccesspolicy.xml), or a completely open crossdomain.xml file, for the editor and built apps to be able to communicate with it. There's a help topic which explains this in the context of LV web services, but it's true for Web UI Builder to be able to communicate with arbitrary web servers also.
Since it sounds like you control all the web servers in question, it shouldn't be too difficult to get this file in place, though.

Render html form & send forms's input values as params via HTTP POST

Hello,
I'm using appache commons http client to send HTTP post queries to a given url and receive HTTP response then process it.
one of the requirements of my Application is the following: one of these HTTP Post requests is supposed to return an HTML form with different html types (text filed, text area etc..) that i will need to display in my swing application. one important requirement is that i can't know in advance what the html form field types will be.. it depends on a given parameters that my application send as part of HTTP Post method (using apache http client).
I Longly searched for a simple solution to this problem . There are many solutions but each one has it's limitations :
1-i can render the html form inside a JEditorPane .but how can I collect the user entered data inside JEditorPane ? i'm not sure this swing component offers the capability to detect its html contents and more it will be difficult to know what are the values entered by user inside html form rendered by JEditorPane.
2-are there any Java Embedded browsers that offer some API to enable me detect the html form fields ,capture the data entered by user inside the html form ?
3-the solution i currently opted for is : parse html & convert html form to swing dialog. currently this solution i use works well but the cost of implementing it is high : it involves difficult parsing logic. this makes me worried .I'm not sure if i'm now using the right & easiest solution.
I need some advice on What is the simplest and clean solution to render a html form & yet be able to collect user entered inputs & send the user input values as params via java HTTP POST request ?

dragzul wrote:
In my opinion, your actual solution is what you need to do. You're trying to "merge" two different kinds of view. Actually, the "easiest" way may be: if you have your data to display, you decide to show it on html or swing.Yes i believe that my current solution may be the unique one for my special requirements. when doing research about this problem i found a multitude of java libraries to convert xml to swing (ex: www.swixml.org) .However i was surprised there are no java libraries to convert HTML forms to swing dialogs -as far as i know-. this is a bit strange. The Limitation is that the developers of the server API are not Java guys and are reluctant to use an xml format that i can easily convert to swing . probably they have their own reasons as they might be using the HTML Response for some other server side work. So I was obliged to deal with an HTML stream that i need to display in my client application and process its data. in my opinion the only way to do this is by developing a HTML form to swing converter package. that's what i did now. i was only worried if i'm complicating things and if there are some easier solutions to this issue.
thanks

XI to post data via HTTPS

Hi !
There is a government web page with an HTML page that has a FORM tag, with this attributes (action data is not real)
action ="https://www.website.com/forms.do"
enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post"
name="form"
inside, it has some INPUT tags:
<INPUT name="user"></INPUT>
<INPUT name="password"></INPUT>
<INPUT type="file" name="file"></INPUT>
<INPUT name="submit" type="submit" value="Send"></INPUT>
I need XI to post the input data that it receives via RFC.
Should I use the HTTP Adapter? SOAP Adapter?
How can I simulate the form submission via XI ?
How do I do to send the file data? (it is received by XI from an RFC as a long text line)
Thanks,
Matias.

Maybe you can with HTTP receiver adapter and some tricks...
But you may also follow this way: an JAVA proxy that receive the message and make all the HTTP dialog:

Uploading big files via http post to XDB table

Hello,
I ve created a web form for to upload files as blobs to the database using XML DB, DBPS_EPG package and preconfigured DAD.
The issue is that small files (~10kb) are being uploaded ok, but file which is 100K during http post returns connection reset from the server side.
To my opinion there might be some max file size parameter for oracle server to accept during oracle listener tcp connection (as apach has maxrequestlimit).
Is there any workaround for to load large files to the XDB table via webform?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Much of what is available on Bittorrent is not legal, beta, or improperly labelled versions. If you want public domain software, see my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#NATIVE
for search engines of legitimate public domain sites.
http://www.rbrowser.com/ has a light mode that supports binary without SSH security.
http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/ has ssh secure FTP.
Both I find are quick and a lot more reliable than Fetch. I know Fetch used to be the staple FTP program, but it grew too big for my use.

How to send a pdf file via http call

Hi Experts,
Please try to think on how you would send a file like a pdf file via the http call. You might need to convert the pdf in a character string which can be sent via http. The character string then might need to get converted back into a pdf and saved in a file. Read through the Archive Link API guide to see how they send the body of a file.
Please it is urgent......
Thanks
Basu

so you want to push the PDF file over http to external system.
where is pdf file stored.
for examle if its in the clients desktop, you can use gui_upload to upload to internal tabble (type BIN) then use FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING to conver the binary table to type string.
then use cl_http_client class to push the file to the destination.

Getting RuntimeException while sending a JMenu Object via http

Hello,
since Java 1.5.0 i use a mechanism, which transfers a JMenu from my servlet object to my applet object via http.
Now since 1.5.0_02 i get this Exception while doing it:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.swing)
Now there is nothing to find about this. Not here in the forums, neither in google or anywhere else.
My guess is, its a matter of deserialization of thoses Jmenus.
Anybody out there with the same problem?
Anybody knows how to solve this WITHOUT changes the policy?
thanks
