Strip off markups of generic XML data with E4X

I have a generic XML file:
<nodes>
<node1 att1='abc' att2='xyz'>
<ele1> Hello </ele1>
<ele2> Hi </ele2>
</node1>
</nodes>
The tag and attribute names above can be anything. I need a
generic method to strip off the XML markups and display the
contents as:
node1@att1: abc
node1@att2: xyz
node1.ele1: Hello
node1.ele2: Hi
How can E4X do this?

e4x is for manipulating/navigating your xml. But you can use
it inside a for/each loop to look at your xml nodes and extract the
strings without the xml tags using toString().
Search the help docs for "XML type conversion" and see the
toString() method in action.

Problem when decrypting an encrypted xml data with arabic data

Hi all
I have problem in decryption an encrypted Xml file. because my Xml file contains utf-8 characters, this problem occurs. after many proccess on Xml data the following code throws an Exception:
try {
// Works if the content is a single child element.
byte [] a = decbit.getBytes("UTF-8");
ByteArrayInputStream bais2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(a);
Document decdoc = docBuilder.parse(bais2);
Node decNode =
encDoc.importNode(decdoc.getFirstChild(), true);
edata.getParentNode().replaceChild(decNode,edata);
}catch(org.xml.sax.SAXParseException spe) {
//In case the content is plain text
//or a group of child elements
Text decText = encDoc.createTextNode(decbit);
edata.getParentNode().replaceChild(decText,edata);
decString = (getString((XmlDocument)encDoc));
at the line with code "Document decdoc = docBuilder.parse(bais2); " an Exception occurs with message :
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Illegal character at end of document, <.
whereas when I debug the project the filed "decbit", contains correct data. any way, in order to the exception, the control move to "catch" block and create a Text Node but the problem is the replaced data is like this:
<id root="588588588" extension="" displayable="false" /><beneficiaryOf typeCode="BEN">

Problem inserting and querying XML data with a recursive XML schema

</xs:schema>I registered this schema and created the category table. Then I inserted a new row using the code below:
insert into category_a values
(XMlElement("category",
      xmlattributes('categoryAAA' as "id"),
      xmlforest ('ma categ' as "name"),
      (xmlelement("description", (xmlelement("text", 'find doors blest now whiles favours carriage tailor spacious senses defect threat ope willow please exeunt truest assembly <keyword> staring travels <bold> balthasar parts attach </bold> enshelter two <emph> inconsiderate ways preventions </emph> preventions clasps better affections comes perish </keyword> lucretia permit street full meddle yond general nature whipp <emph> lowness </emph> grievous pedro')))
The row is successfully inserted as witnessed by the results of row counting. However, I cannot extract data from the table. First, I tried using SqlPlus* which hangs up and quits after a while. I then tried to use SQL Developer, but haven't got any result. Here follow some examples of queries and their results in SQL Developer:
Query 1
select * from category
Result : the whole row is returned
Query 2
select xmlquery('$p/category/description' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category
Result: "SYS.XMLTYPE"
now I tried to fully respect the nested structure of description element in order to extract the text portion of <bold> using this query
Query 3
select xmlquery('$p/category/description/text/keyword/bold/text()' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category_a
Result: null
and also tried to extract the text portion of element <text> using this query
Query 4
select xmlquery('$p/category/description/text/text()' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category_a
Result: "SYS.XMLTYPE".
On the other hand, I noticed, from the result of query 1, that the opening tags of elements keyword and bold are encoded as the less than operator "<". This explains why query 3 returns NULL. However, query 4 should display the text content of <text>, which is not the case.
My questions are about
1. How to properly insert the XML data while preserving the tags (especially the opening tag).
2. How to display the data (the text portion of the main Element or of the nested elements).
The problem about question 1 is that it is quite unfeasible to write a unique insert statement because the structure of <description> is recursive. In other words, if the structure of <description> was not recursive, it would be possible to embed the elements using the xmlelement function during the insertion.
In fact, I need to insert the content of <description> from a source table (called category_a) into a target table (+category_b+) automatically .
I filled category_a using the Saxloader utility from an flat XML file that I have generated from a benchmark. The content of <description> is different from one row to another but it is always valid with regards to the XML Schema. The data is properly inserted as witnessed by the "select * from category_a" instruction (500 row inserted). Besides, the opening tags of the nested elements under <description> are preserved (no "<"). Then I wrote a PL/SQL procedure in which a cursor extracts the category id and category name into varchar2 variables and description into an XMLtype variable from category_a. When I try to insert the values into a category_b, I get the follwing error:
LSX-00213: only 0 occurrences of particle "text", minimum is 1which tells that the <text> element is absent (actually it is present in the source table).
So, my third question is why are not the tags recognized during the insertion?
Can anyone help please?

Hello,
indded, I was using an old version of Sqlplus* (8.0.60.0.0) because I had a previous installation (oracle 10g XE). Instead, I used the Sqlplus* shipped with the 11g2database (version 11.2.0.1.0). All the queries that I wrote work fine and display the data correctly.
I also used the XMLSERIALIZE function and can now display the description content in SQL Developer.
Thank you very much.

close mycursor;
END I_CATEGORY;When I execute the procedure, I get the following error:
LSX-00201: contents of "description" should be elements onlyso, I just wonder if this is because v_description is considered as plain text and not as XML text, even if its content is XML. Do I need to use a special function to cast the CLOB as XML?
Thanks for your help.

XML data with nested repeating nodes

First let me prelude with my skill set; "I am an XML,
JavaScript and Spry newbie". My xml data looks like this:
<report>
<header>
<column type="[string|real|int]>some
value</column>
<column type="[string|real|int]>some
value</column>
</header>
<details>
<row>
<cell type="[string|real|int]">some value</cell>
<cell type="[string|real|int]">some value</cell>
</row>
<row>
<cell type="[string|real|int]">some value</cell>
<cell type="[string|real|int]">some value</cell>
</row>
</details>
</report>
- report/header/column is completely dynamic and not known in
advance
- each report/header/column is the table column name value
- each report/details/row/cell is the table cell value
- type="[string|real|int]" is data type of the cell value
Using Spry 1.5 I have been able to successfully populate the
table column header row dynamically and repeat the appropriate
number of rows.
Spry is Cool!
I have not been able to figure out how to repeat
report/details/row/cell for each repeating row node. If I nest
spry:repeat it appears to go into an endless loop.
I will also need to equate data type to a Spry data type so
that I may sort the columns appropriately for their respective data
type.
Here is the code I have so far:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="includes/xpath.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="includes/SpryData.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="includes/SpryNestedXMLDataSet.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var dsReport = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data/cmbcov_raw.xml", "/iqreport");
var dsHeaders = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(dsReport,
"header/column");
var dsRows = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(dsReport,
"details/row");
var dsCells = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(dsReport,
"details/row/cell");
Spry.Data.Region.debug = true;
</script>
<link href="/report/css/samples.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" media="all" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<title>Reports</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3
spry:region="dsReport">{dsReport::@title}</h3>
<div class="liveSample" spry:region="dsReport dsHeaders
dsRows dsCells">
<table class="dataTable">
<tr>
<th
spry:repeat="dsHeaders">{dsHeaders::column}</th>
</tr>
<tbody>
<tr spry:repeat="dsRows">
<td>{dsCells::cell}</td> 
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
nomadcanuck

Don,
Thanks for forcing me to read the nested data set sample
again, three times the charm as they say :). I made the following
addition to get it to work.
var dsDetails = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(dsReport,
"details");
var dsRows = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(dsDetails,
"row");
var dsCells = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(dsRows, "cell");
<tbody spry:repeat="dsDetails">
<tr spry:repeat="dsRows">
<td spry:repeat="dsCells">{dsCells::cell}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
I am still stumped with respect to sorting the dynamic
header/column. Any chance of being pointed in the right direction,
either document or hint is appreciated.
Thanks again,

How to get & use xml data with jstl libraries? (URGENT PLZ)

I am using jstl to get and use xml data
I needs to perform operations on the parsed xml document with other libraries of jstl. How can i do that.
I used Dom variable to parse my document as:
<x:parse varDom="test"> <c:import url="project.xml"/> </x:parse>
where my project.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<project> <projectName>myProject</projectName> </project>
I can dislay this value in html by
<x:out select="$test/project/projectName"/>
But I need a string value sotred in variable such as <c:set var="pname" value="???">
HOW CAN I SET THIS VALUE IN CORE VARIABLE THAT IS, USING <c:set...> SO THAT IT CAN BE USED ANYWHERE IN JSP PAGE TO CONCATE RETURNED STRING IN OTHER STRING VARIABLES DEFINED BY CORE LIB?

I believe that <c:set> should do that but i am facing problem in it. Look into this jsp scriptlet:
1-<x:parse varDom="test"> <c:import url="project.xml"/> </x:parse>
2-<x:set var="ds" select="$test/project/projectName"/>
3-<x:out select="$ds"/> <br>
4-<c:set var="tt" value="${ds}" />
5-<c:out value="${tt}" />
In line 3 variable ds returns: myProject
In line 5 variable tt returns: [[projectName: null]]
perhaps on line 4 ds is storing some array to tt and i am not calling correct array element. I tried many options but still could not find solution. Plz Plz do something urgent for me. Thanks

C# load xml data with attributes to datagridview; update data and save back to the xml

Hi guys,
i currently have this XML as data
<DEALS>
<DEAL ID="22" ISBN="0-7888-1623-3" Screenplay="Mary Kaplan" Title ="Mr Gentleman" Director = "Jonathan Jones">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="5000" CODE="72" PRICE="25.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="7000" CODE="75" PRICE="35.00">4000</ALLOCATION>
</DEAL>
<DEAL ID="23" ISBN="1-7988-1623-3" Screenplay="Joe Doe" Title ="Nothing Much" Director = "Listentome">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="3300" CODE="72" PRICE="15.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
</DEAL>
</DEALS>
I load the data with the code below:
i use xDocument to load the DealData.xml and then put it in ToString.
//outside of the form
public static class XElementExtensions
public static DataTable ToDataTable(this XElement element)
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
string rawXml = element.ToString();
ds.ReadXml(new StringReader(rawXml));
return ds.Tables[0];
public static DataTable ToDataTable(this IEnumerable<XElement> elements)
return ToDataTable(new XElement("Root", elements));
//in the form
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
var xDocument = XDocument.Load("DealData.xml");
string txtxml = xDocument.ToString();
StringReader reader = new StringReader(txtxml);
XDocument doc1 = XDocument.Load(reader);
var res = doc1.Descendants("DEAL").ToList().Where(x => x.Attribute("ID").Value == "22").Descendants("ALLOCATION");
dataGridView1.DataSource = res.ToDataTable();
Now my question is:
I would like to update the data from the DataGridview with the Attribute("ID").Value == "22" and save the data back to the XML.
For example, after I load my data on the datagridview, we only pickup anything that is in the node
<DEAL ID="22" ISBN="0-7888-1623-3" Screenplay="Mary Kaplan" Title ="Mr Gentleman" Director = "Jonathan Jones">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="5000" CODE="72" PRICE="25.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="7000" CODE="75" PRICE="35.00">4000</ALLOCATION>
</DEAL>
I updated the datagridview below with DEMANDE = 9000 CODE = 66 PRICE = 24.77 AND ALLOCATION = 1200
I want be able to extract the data back in the xml as a child of the DEAL ID = "22"
So that the XML file looks like this
<DEALS>
<DEAL ID="22" ISBN="0-7888-1623-3" Screenplay="Mary Kaplan" Title ="Mr Gentleman" Director = "Jonathan Jones">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="5000" CODE="72" PRICE="25.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="7000" CODE="75" PRICE="35.00">4000</ALLOCATION>
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="9000" CODE="66" PRICE="24.77">1200</ALLOCATION> <-! this is the new line !->
</DEAL>
<DEAL ID="23" ISBN="1-7988-1623-3" Screenplay="Joe Doe" Title ="Nothing Much" Director = "Listentome">
<ALLOCATION DEMANDE="3300" CODE="72" PRICE="15.00">2500</ALLOCATION>
</DEAL>
</DEALS>
Is there a way to achieve that?
I have been searching and reading in the books but i cannot find a solution for this.
Thank you

I would think of something like the below, the id is passed as static you need to change this
protected virtual void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//Get DataTable from DGV datasource
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt = (DataTable)dataGridView1.DataSource;
string file1 = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><DEALS><DEAL ID=\"22\" ISBN=\"0-7888-1623-3\" Screenplay=\"Mary Kaplan\" Title =\"Mr Gentleman\" Director = \"Jonathan Jones\"><ALLOCATION DEMANDE=\"5000\" CODE=\"72\" PRICE=\"25.00\">2500</ALLOCATION><ALLOCATION DEMANDE=\"7000\" CODE=\"75\" PRICE=\"35.00\">4000</ALLOCATION></DEAL><DEAL ID=\"23\" ISBN=\"1-7988-1623-3\" Screenplay=\"Joe Doe\" Title =\"Nothing Much\" Director = \"Listentome\"><ALLOCATION DEMANDE=\"3300\" CODE=\"72\" PRICE=\"15.00\">2500</ALLOCATION></DEAL></DEALS>";
StringReader reader = new StringReader(file1);
XDocument doc1 = XDocument.Load(reader);
//Remove all elements related to the id being populated into the Grid
doc1.Descendants("DEAL").ToList().Where(x => x.Attribute("ID").Value == "22").Descendants("ALLOCATION").Remove();
//loop through datatable and create new xelement to be added to the xdocument
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
XElement xe = new XElement("ALLOCATION",
new XAttribute("DEMANDE", dr[0].ToString()),
new XAttribute("CODE", dr[1].ToString()),
new XAttribute("PRICE", dr[2].ToString()));
xe.Value = dr[3].ToString();
doc1.Descendants("DEAL").ToList().Where(x => x.Attribute("ID").Value == "22").FirstOrDefault().Add(xe);

Transforming XML Data with XSLT in a servlet

Trying to transform XML data using XSLT. The following code works fine outside of a servlet. But in a servlet it gives the following error :

Several articles hinted at setting the factory namespace attribute to TRUE. I have tried that but same results. Here is the code :
static Document document;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
//factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
//factory.setValidating(true);
try {
File stylesheet = new File(argv[0]);
File datafile = new File(argv[1]);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
document = builder.parse(datafile);
// Use a Transformer for output
TransformerFactory tFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
StreamSource stylesource = new StreamSource(stylesheet);
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(stylesource);
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
transformer.transform(source, result);
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {
// Error generated by the parser
System.out.println ("\n** Transformer Factory error");
System.out.println(" " + tce.getMessage() );
// Use the contained exception, if any
Throwable x = tce;
if (tce.getException() != null)
x = tce.getException();
x.printStackTrace();
} catch (TransformerException te) {
// Error generated by the parser
System.out.println ("\n** Transformation error");
System.out.println(" " + te.getMessage() );
// Use the contained exception, if any
Throwable x = te;
if (te.getException() != null)
x = te.getException();
x.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException sxe) {
// Error generated by this application
// (or a parser-initialization error)
Exception x = sxe;
if (sxe.getException() != null)
x = sxe.getException();
x.printStackTrace();
} catch (ParserConfigurationException pce) {
// Parser with specified options can't be built
pce.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
// I/O error
ioe.printStackTrace();
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know that this is true, but i think the problem is the classpath.
The runtime has his own parser. This parser is befor your xalan.lib in the classpath and the
parser from the runntime don't support namespace.
Try Tomcat 4.

Generate hierarchical xml data with xmlutilities ?

hello
I am just experimenting with the oracle xml utilities, because I
want to set on http-services to access to our patient database.
Is it possible to generate the following xml structure (ALL
relevant diagnoses are hierarchically subordered to the ONE
patient) when two tables (master table patient, dependent table
diagnoses) are given ?
<rowset>
<row num=...>
<name>smith</name>
<diagnosis>
<date> ...</date>
<icd-code> ... </icd-code>
<text> ... </text>
</diagnosis>
/*ev.further diagnosis*/
</row>
/*ev.further rows for further patients*/
</rowset>
By the moment, I have the impression that only list-similar xml
data is possible.
Thank You very much for comments.

Hi ali,
Yes, you can use the CAST(MULTISET()) operator to create a
nested table of subordered diagnostic record and display it.
(You need the objects option installed if you are using 8.0.
With 8i, the objects options is included free)
e.g.
/* Create a regular type */
CREATE TYPE diagnostic_type AS OBJECt
diag_date NUMBER,
icd_code NUMBER,
/* etc... all the necessary diagnostic details.. */
/* create a nested table type */
CREATE TYPE diagnostic_list_t AS TABLE OF diagnostic_type;
/* Now u can use this in any query */
SELECT p.name AS name,
CAST(MULTISET( SELECT d.diag_date, d.icd_code,...
FROM diagnosis_table d
WHERE d.patient_name = p.name)
AS diagnostic_list_t) AS diagnosis
FROM patient_table p;
This query as u can see gets the name of the patient and then
creates a nested table of diagnostic records for the patient.
This assumes that for every patient there are more than 1
diagnosis records.
If you have only one diagnostic record per patient then u can
simply write this as,
SELECT p.name AS name,
diagnostic_t(d.diag_date,d.icd_code,...) AS diagnosis
FROM patient_table p, diagnostic_table d
WHERE p.name = d.patient_name;
Here u are just constructing a structured diagnosis type from
the given values.
Hope this helps,

Problem in mapping xml data with header details from IPM 11g to BPEL

Hi,
I want to map xml data as a supporting content from IPM application to BPEL.
My xml is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DocumentFile xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/Document.xsd">
<Document DocumentType="Invoice">
<DocumentImage>
<Filename>\\10.205.0.209\Img\10883212.TIF</Filename>
</DocumentImage>
</DocumentFile>
If I remove header details from root element <DocumentFile> i.e. modified xml is
<DocumentFile>
<Document DocumentType="Invoice">
<DocumentImage>
<Filename>\\10.205.0.209\Img\10883212.TIF</Filename>
</DocumentImage>
</DocumentFile>
it works fine but i need to pass header details as well.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Priya

Delete XML nodes with E4X

I trying to delete all the node from a XML that doesn't match some values.
<Data>
     <Type id="1">
          <Details id="1">
               <Products id="1">
                    <Value>123</Value>
               </Products>
          </Details>
          <Details id="2">
               <Products id="2">
                    <Value>123</Value>
               </Products>
          </Details>
          <Details id="1">
               <Products id="3">
                    <Value>123</Value>
               </Products>
          </Details>
     </tType>
     <Type id="2">
          <Details id="1">
               <Products id="1">
                    <Value>123</Value>
               </Products>
          </Details>
          <Details id="2">
               <Products id="2">
                    <Value>123</Value>
               </Products>
          </Details>
     </Type>
</Data>;
Let's suppose I want to delete all the nodes "Details" where id == 1.
I tried something like:
delete xml..Details.(@id == 1);
But this gives me and error...
TypeError: Error #1119: Delete operator is not supported with operand of type XMLList
So I tried:
= 1);
delete xml..Details.(@id == 1)[0];
But this produces the following result (what makes some sense, since I passed only index 0).
<Data>
<ClientType id="1">
    <Details id="2">
      <Products id="2">
        <Value>123</Value>
      </Products>
    </Details>
    <Details id="1">
      <Products id="3">
        <Value>123</Value>
      </Products>
    </Details>
</ClientType>
<ClientType id="2">
    <Details id="1">
      <Products id="1">
        <Value>123</Value>
      </Products>
    </Details>
    <Details id="3">
      <Products id="2">
        <Value>123</Value>
      </Products>
    </Details>
</ClientType>
</Data>
Only the first match is delete and not all the nodes.
Can someone help on this one?
thank you.

Ok, I tried something and It works...
while(xml..Details.(@id == 1).length() > 0)
    delete xml..Details.(@id == 1)[0];
But, there's any direct solution to this? Only with E4X?

Problem in mapping xml data with imported RFC parameters

I am currently working on a senario in which a flat file is generated by an RFID server and placed in FTP server.
The flat file is picked up from the FTP server using XI and the contents are mapped to the corresponding imported RFC parameters.
The content of the file which is in text format is successfully converted in XML at the XI side.
File contains records of 2 fields Functional location and RFID equipment number . In the R/3 side these fields
are used as Functional location and equipment number of PM module .
The structure of the FTP message is as follows
<ns:RFID_MSG_TYPE xmlns:ns="urn://sisl:rfiddemo">
<RecordSet>
<Row>
   <FL1>"f1</FL1>
   <FL2>01</FL2>
   <FL3>01</FL3>
   <RFID_NUM>I001"</RFID_NUM>
</Row>
</RecordSet>
</ns:RFID_MSG_TYPE>
After the mapping program which maps the above structure to the imported RFC is executed the following payload document is generated
<ns:ZRFID_EQUIP xmlns:ns="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
<RECORDS>
<item>
   <FLOC>f1-01-01</FLOC>
   <RFID_NO>I001</RFID_NO>
</item>
</RECORDS>
</ns:ZRFID_EQUIP>
The size of FLOC is 30 of type string and RFID_NO is also a string with size 18.
When the data is brought in R/3 both the fields FLOC and RFID_NO gets mapped in FLOC which is of type char30.

Hi Naveen,
In sxmb_moni the content transmitted to the adapter(RFC)is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns:ZRFID_EQUIP xmlns:ns="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <RECORDS>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-01</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I006</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-02</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I002</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-03</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I003</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-04</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I004</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-05</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I005</RFID_NO>
</item>
- <item>
<FLOC>f1-01-06</FLOC>
<RFID_NO>I001</RFID_NO>
</item>
</RECORDS>
</ns:ZRFID_EQUIP>
At r/3 side the field floc and rfid_no gets mapped to floc which is of char30
eg floc=f1-01-01I006
   rfid_no=

How to Map XML data with XSD Schema in JAXB

Hello,
I am very much new to JAXB.
I am in need of someone help to go further in my dev.
I am having an XSD and i could able to do marshall and unmarshall using JAXB.
My problem is...
Consider followings are my Schema...
- <person id="general" help="USER.DOM.HELP.GENERAL" label="USER.DOM.LABEL.GENERAL" access="READWRITE">
<attribute id="Name" mandatory="true" type="STRING" access="READONLY" widget="NONE" />
<attribute id="login" label="USER.LABEL.LOGIN" help="USER.HELP.LOGIN" regexp="[A-a]" type="STRING" summary="true" access="WCREATE_RUPDATE" widget="TEXTFIELD" />
<attribute id="firstname" summary="true" label="USER.LABEL.FIRSTNAME" help="USER.HELP.FIRSTNAME" type="STRING" regexp="[A-a]" access="READWRITE" widget="TEXTFIELD" />
In this example a person contains set of attributes... some are mandatory(Name)...
In my application i will unmarshall the the schema file and show in GUI as a set of attributes when the operator want to create a person. And its very well working.
Now say for example, i am requesting my server to show all the created persons and its showing. when i click on the particular person the GUI will place the request to the server to get the corresponding date for the selected person.
But the response contains only the mandatory attribute.. i mean Name.... this may be because of the way my server working. So now i want to show the operator all the set of attributes for that person with the Name.
I mean i need to merge the schema with me resultant data and show it in the GUI.
My result is in the form of xml stream. And i will convert my schema also in the form of XML...
Now i need to merge both of this XMl and need to present in the GUI...
Any help please...
Thank You!!!

Still i am not getting any reply :(
