Tags from other tag output

Hello.
I'm currently outputting tags from a TagSupport extended class.. (doing database checks, then outputting the results and using tags)
The tags i output don"t get evaluated and i see them in the html source.
How can i make the container evaluate the output again?
Thanks a lot.

i dont think you canIn fact, I think the only way you can have one tag use
another tag is in JSP 2.0 with the first tag written
as a tag file (for example /WEB-INF/tags/mytag.tag).
This tag file (like a JSP file) can specify the
location of other tag libraries, and then use tags
from that library. This feature (along with the
built-in expression language) are probably (for me)
the two best things about JSP 2.0
Geoff RimmerThanks.
Unfortunatly, i need the opposite. I'm doing a pseudo tabbedpane based on DB entries, and use a tag for representing buttons.
I find it amazing that you can't interpret recursively the result of a tag class...
Maybe i'm simply doing it wrong...

Urgent-how to access custom tag from jsp tag

I have a problem accessing a custom tag from a jsp expression.
Details: I have a custom tag that returns a string variable. I need to access that variable from jsp expression <%%>.
Can any body help me?

Tags don't "return" values as in the normal sense.
They can only support TEI (Tag Extra Information) that just stuffs a declared variable into the page's state.
For example, if the tag class had a public method called getValue(), you could do the following:
<xmp:mytag id="foo"/>
<%
out.println("value is " + foo.getValue());
%>

Ho wto get a Custom Tag generate other Tags?

Hi Folks,
I need your help with this issue. I have a Tag A:X which needs to generate some code containing another tag A:Y. How do I get the container to also evaluate A:Y?
The long version of the problem. I have a web page that uses the tag A:X which is a custom tag. When executed, this custom tag needs to go through a bunch of other HTML page segments and find the right one, say Page 25. Once it finds this page 25, it has to output the code of page 25 in place of A:X. Yet, Page 25 itself also contains JSP tags. So, somehow, I need to tell the container to reevaluate the code produced by A:X.
Normally, the handler of tag A:X could behave like the container and invoke A:Y's handler in the following way:
AYTag tag = new AYTag();
tag.setPageContext(...);
tag.setParent(...);
tag.setAttribute1(value1);
tag.setAttribute2(value2);
tag.doStartTag();
tag.doEndTag();
tag.release();I, however don't feel like it is a good decision. This is the job of the container and I don't want to have it done in a tag handler. Worst, I might have problem later on, if new pages come (similar to Page 25) that use other tags with different set of attributes.
Any help is very much welcome.
Thanks,
Klaus.

Auto collapse SVG tags (or other tags) to clean up HTML structure

I am usong SVG for icons and logos in the my HTML. I know Dreamweaver CC allow collapsing of code sections highlited, but I would like to be able to set a setting to auto collapse certain tags to help make the HTML more readable. Is there and option/script/extension to do this?
I dislike how "Apply Source Formatting" will expand collapsed sections, requiring you to go re-collapse them manually.

As far as I've ever seen, there's nowhere in DW where you could set something like that. Aside from hitting Ctrl + Shift + J while anywhere within the tag to collapse it, I think you're stuck.
It would be a nice addition to the Tag Library Editor.
Here is the official bug report/feature request form: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Loss of Album & other tags after conversion of catalog from PSE6

I just installed PSE 8 while retaining PSE 6 as permitted by installation instructions. Converted catalog from PSE 6 which had JPGs, TIFs & RAW files in it. Everything looked ok for a minute. I did some editing of Preferences, none of which overtly would affect the album & other tages, but when I returned to the catalog, the images were there without any of the album tags or other tags. The only Album remaining in the list was the "last six months." Can someone please explain this and more importantly recommend a solution? Many Thanks.

There is one known issue where the tags and albums in the Organize pane are missing, while the thumbnails continue to show the tag icons under them. If you're sure that the thumbnails don't have the tag icons under them, then my only suggestion is to convert the PSE 6 catalog again using File > Catalog > Convert.

Create an own tag h:name-Tag to replace h:CommandButton

Hello,
I have 2 questions :
1 - How can create a personal tag in a JSF application?
2 - How can I do to make this application :
an example :
I have 3 buttons A, B and C (<h:CommandButton>) .
That I want to do :
when I click on A, the value of B is replaced by D.
when I click on B, the value of B is replaced by D and the value of C is replaced by A. etc...
So the parameter action="..." for the each <h:name-Tag> call other tags i the same page.
At the end, I want to create this tag and include it in the form of myTag.jar to be used in my project.
Thank you

In the setProperties method, you've got to resolve the valuebinding (#{blah.whatever}) to get the actual value. But you only want to do that if the attribute is set to a valuebinding.
Here's an example:
      * @see javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag#setProperties(UIComponent)
     protected void setProperties(UIComponent component) {
          super.setProperties(component);
          //Set the field reference property
          if (fieldRef != null) {
               if (UIComponentTag.isValueReference(fieldRef)) {
                    ValueBinding vb = getFacesContext().getApplication().
                         createValueBinding(fieldRef);
                    component.setValueBinding("fieldRef", vb);
               } else {
                    component.getAttributes().put("fieldRef", fieldRef);
     }This example shows how to determine if the "fieldRef" attribute is a value binding, and extracts the value accordingly. But there's one more step. In your component class, or anywhere you access the attributes of your custom tag, use the following code:
     public String getFieldRef() {
          if (fieldRef != null)
               return fieldRef;
          ValueBinding vb = getValueBinding("fieldRef");
          if (vb != null)
               return (String)vb.getValue(getFacesContext());
          else
               return null;
     }The above snippet is what you would put in your custom component getter method.
JSF is open source. Something I found very helpful while learning how to create custom components was looking at how the JSF developers created theirs. You should go ahead and download the JSF source code.

Binary output from two tags

Hi
I'm having problems outputting a binary image from a tag handler more than once. This is apparently a known problem with JSP but I was wondering if anyone had found a workaround (other that writing a servlet).
The basic problem is that if you call ServletResponse.getOutputStream() more than once in a page or if you call it after ServletResponse.getWriter() has been called then you get:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: getOutputStream() has already been called for this response
The result is that Tag Libraries are a technology that doesn't allow you to output two binary things directly onto a page or to output any binary data if you've also output text or vice versa. That sounds extraordinarily bad to me.
I know there must be good reasons for the difficulty but surely there's a fix or a well known workaround.
Has anyone out there got over this problem or know whether any fixes are planned? Thanks.
Murray

You can call either getOutputStream or getWriter, and you can it only once (it assumes you'll assign that to a variable and use the variable from then on). It's not a bug or problem, it's a reasonable restriction to prevent you from doing what I think you are trying to do....
So you can use the writer to write text-based output, or the output stream to write binary data.
But this is somewhat irrelevent. You can't output HTML and include binary data, like an image, in the HTML.
<div>here is some text, followed by an image</div>
<div>0a68df9834ce7932d....</div> <-- binary data...
The browser has no idea what to do with that. That's why you have image tags and object/embed tags in HTML. And the browser has to make a separate request to get the content for the image tag. So the servlet can output image data or other stuff, if the image tag is used to call a servlet to serve an image. But they are not doing with the same call the a servlet (and usually you have separate servlets for that stuff).
Ultimately, this is not a JSP/servlet issue. This is strictly and HTML, HTTP, browser issue: That's how it works and has worked since long before JSP and servlets came about. JSP/servlets do not change how HTML and browsers work in any way/shape/form. They only allow for dynamically generating content the browser gets.

Why does InDesign 5.5 not recognizing tags from text output from Filemaker 11?

We just upgraded all of our computer and servers at the office. We were using OS 9 operating system with QuarkXpress and Filemaker 5. In the process of deciding on the route to go with upgrades we decided to go ahead and switch to InDesign instead of continueing with Quark.
The problem is that we run a database inside of Filemaker Pro and we output text into our Quark files well now with InDesign I can not for the life of me figure out why our tags are not being recognized by InDesign. I have reviewed every option when placing the text file and have not seen anything that will fix it. In Quark when you import text you have the option to click a box and it will let you import with style sheets. I have set up the same paragraph styles in InDesign and it still doesn't work.
Does anybody have any clue what might be happening? Any help would be appreciated, I need something to just get started on trying to fix this issue. It is a major issue due to the fact that I work for a classifieds newspaper and I need this text weekly. I have spent way too much time on this already and I am still in the same boat as I was when I started.
Thank you in advance for your help!

One assumes there is some existing software generating this stuff.
John is absolutely correct when he says that it would be a simple set of find/replace operations; if you are savvy enough to be able to get a total count of the number of tags used in your output, and if you can automate a single find/replace operation, then you can figure out how much it costs you to roll your own Quark-tags-to-Indy-tags solution and compare it against the cost of the software.
I was really referring more to the abstract. In the concrete, I guess I assumed we would find whatever was generating the XPress tags and change it to generate InDesign Tagged Text. It's just a matter of finding a few static strings and changing them... it's not like there are any changes to *logic*...
Personally, I'm a strong believer in Fixing It Right. yeah, $400 is cheap, but it's a lame patch to the problem. You shouldn't be using XPress Tags in InDesign, might as well move your automation over to doing it the InDesign way. (Unless, of course, there's an advantage to XPress Tags. And there are a few, as David's article points ut.)
However, I can't tell if he's being genuine or not; if you didn't notice that Quark tags and Indy tagged text are not the same format, then you probably don't have the in-house scripting capability to write your own converter. If you have that expertise in-house, then go for it. For my own part, I am such a slow scripter that paying someone else a few hundred bucks will invariably be cheaper than writing my own. Of course, if I didn't have any money to spend then I'm sure that I'd become a faster scripter quire rapidly.
I was serious, but I wasn't advocating a converter. That adds an extra step to the workflow, and it's also ugly. Just fix whatever makes the XPressTags to do IDTT instead.
There's something funny about the guy from the non-profit telling other people to spend money, I can't quite put my finger on it though :-).

Our etext output needs a combination of XML tags from multiple levels

Our etext output needs a combination of XML tags from multiple levels. Each unique combination of <OutboundPayment>/<Payee>/<SupplierNumber> and <OutboundPayment>/<DocumentPayable>/<ReferenceNumber> needs to be on a unique line. That means we need to combine information from different levels into a single e-text line before there is an end of record.
Right now, it pulls the supplier number for the first invoice and matches it up to the proper line, but each line after that just repeats the supplier number it pulled the first time and uses that on each line matched to the different invoices instead of looping back and picking up the correct supplier associated with each invoice in the Format Payments Instructions.
I have Oracle Support trying to resolve this in an SR, but so far they have made no progress. Has anyone else done this before? What command do I need to use to combine these two levels into one line of output.
If I create a header line just above the detail line just for the supplier number it gives me exactly what I need, but on two lines in the etext output. I need it all on a single line.
Thanks.

If anyone needs the solution, I finally have it:
I created a level for grouping criteria as PaymentReferenceNumber/Payee/Address/AddressName, DocumentInternalIDSegment2, called InvoiceDetailLevel. The base level is OutboundPayment.
I then added a level (InvoiceDetailLevel) between OutboundPaymentInstruction and the DocumentPayable level.
Then in the syntax for the supplier number and the address I entered this in the Data column:
../../ OutboundPayment/Payee/SupplierNumber
and
../../ OutboundPayment/Payee/Address/AddressName
That did the trick and now it is working correctly on every line, looping back to get the proper information.

How to REMOVE [b] H1 Tag[/b] from HTML without changing other Tags?

Hi there!
I'm searching for a method to remove Tags from HTML (using HTMLEditorKit, HTMLDocument ...).
My current code is as follows:
// first get the whole paragraph
   int iCaretPos = tpMyTextPane.getCaretPosition();
   Object oAttrib;
   HTMLDocument.BlockElement oElem = (HTMLDocument.BlockElement)oMyDocument.getParagraphElement(iCaretPos);
   AttributeSet oAttribs;
   SimpleAttributeSet oNewAttribs;
   int iParaStart = oElem.getStartOffset();
   int iParaEnd = oElem.getEndOffset();
   tpMyTextPane.select(iParaStart, iParaEnd);
   // the following only fetches the Tags that are valid for the whole paragraph!!!!!
   oAttribs = tpMyTextPane.getCharacterAttributes();
   oNewAttribs = new SimpleAttributeSet(oAttribs);
   if(iParaEnd - iParaStart > 0)
      // now analyse the attributes (remove all paragraph-tags)
      for(int iIndex = 0; iIndex < oaOurFormatTags.length; iIndex++)
         oNewAttribs.removeAttribute(oaOurFormatTags[iIndex]);
      if(iParaEnd - iParaStart > 0)
         oMyDocument.setCharacterAttributes(iParaStart, iParaEnd - iParaStart, oNewAttribs, true);
         tpMyTextPane.setCaretPosition(iCaretPos);
      tpMyTextPane.requestFocus();
      tpMyTextPane.repaint();
   }This code works for me, but all Tags of the selected paragraph are removed. That means:
<P><H1>This is a <B>test</B> text<H2></P>
will be converted to:
<P>This is a test text</P>
but I want it to be converted to:
<P>This is a <B>test</B> text</P>
Is there any other method to remove specific Tags (<H1>, ... <H6>) without touching other tags????

Extracting data from a tag of xml file which is(xml) in a Field of Csv.

We have a xlm script which is stored in the clob column of the csv file. we have to extract one value from the <tag> and reject remaining data.
Sample:-
<ROW>
<ID>100</ID>
<ORDER_DATE>2000.12.20</ORDER_DATE>
<SHIPTO_NAME>Adrian Howard</SHIPTO_NAME>
<SHIPTO_STREET>500 Marine World Parkway</SHIPTO_STREET>
<SHIPTO_CITY>Redwood City</SHIPTO_CITY>
<SHIPTO_STATE>CA</SHIPTO_STATE>
<SHIPTO_ZIP>94065</SHIPTO_ZIP>
</ROW>
Required Output:-
We have to extract the "500 Marine World Parkway"
from tag <SHIPTO_STREET>
and the above sample xml file is in one of the column which is clob datatype
Any idea How to perform the above activity in PL/SQL ?

As BP suggested you can use an XPATH query to extract that information from your XML. However it depends a bit on your XML data.
Here are two examples:
one row XML
select extractvalue(xmltype('<ROW>

<SHIPTO_CITY>Redwood City</SHIPTO_CITY>
<SHIPTO_STATE>CA</SHIPTO_STATE>
<SHIPTO_ZIP>94065</SHIPTO_ZIP>
</ROW>')

How to remove HTML tags from a String ?

Hello,
How can I remove all HTML Tags from a String ?
Would you please to give me a simple example ?
Best regards,
Eric

Here's some code I cooked up. I have created an object that processes code so that it can be incorporated directly into a project. There is some redundancy so that the it can be used in more than one way. Depending on your situation you might have to make the condition statement a little more sophisticated to catch stray ">" tags.
I have also included a Tester application.
//This removes Html tags from a String either by submitting the String during construction and then
// calling getProcessedString() or
// by simply calling " stringwithoutTags=removeHtmlTags(stringWithTagsSubmission); "
//Note: This code assumes that all"<" tags are accompanied by a ">" tag in the proper order.
public class HtmlTagRemover
     private String stringSubmission,processedString,stringBeingProcessed;
     private int indexOfTagStart,indexOfTagEnd;
     public HtmlTagRemover()
     public HtmlTagRemover(String s)
          removeHtmlTags(s);
     public String removeHtmlTags(String s)
          stringSubmission=s;
          stringBeingProcessed=stringSubmission;
          removeNextTag();
          return processedString;
     private void removeNextTag()
          checkForNextTag();
          while((!(indexOfTagStart==-1||indexOfTagEnd==-1))&<indexOfTagEnd)
               removeTag();
               checkForNextTag();
          processedString=stringBeingProcessed;
     private void checkForNextTag()
          indexOfTagStart=stringBeingProcessed.indexOf("<");
          indexOfTagEnd=stringBeingProcessed.indexOf(">");
     private void removeTag()
          StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer("");
          sb.append(stringBeingProcessed);
          sb.delete(indexOfTagStart,indexOfTagEnd+1);
          stringBeingProcessed=sb.toString();
     public String getProcessedString()
          return processedString;
     public String getLastStringSubmission()
          return stringSubmission;
public class HtmlRemovalTester
     static void main(String[] args)
          String output;
          HtmlTagRemover h=new HtmlTagRemover();
          output="The processed String: "+h.removeHtmlTags("<Html tag>This is a test<another Html tag> string<yet another Html tag>.");
          output=output+"\n"+" The original string:"+h.getLastStringSubmission();

Calling jsp custom tag from jsp expression

hi there,
I have a problem calling oracle(or any other) custom tag from inside a jsp expression.(i.e.)embeding <jbo:tagname...> into <%......%>.
For example:
I need to get the value of a jsp parameter, but the parameter name is dynamic (retrieved from a DataBase)
So I though it would be something link that:
<%=request.getParameter(<jbo:ShowValue datasource="ds" dataitem="ParamName" ></jbo:ShowValue>) %>
where <jbo:ShowValue is an Oracle custom tab that retrieves the value of a certain dataItem(certain field).
But it does not work.........
if any body can tell me how to overcome, or work around it, I'll be so pleased.
Regards,
Remoun Anwar

Hi,
You get the custom tag output into a hidden variable (say 'key') and use the request.getParameter("key")
Hope u got the answer...

F4M document contains errors - URL missing from Media tag

I feel like I'm getting close to finally get a live stream to work correctly in 4.5
I can see the streams being recorded in the following directories
     C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent1
     C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent2
     C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent3
Each directory contains five files: bootstrap ,control, meta, f4f, and f4x.
I have a single file called Event.xml in the directory: C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent
<Event><EventID>liveevent</EventID>
<Recording>
<FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>
<SegmentDuration>16000</SegmentDuration>
<DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>
However the client player receives the exception F4M document contains errors - URL missing from Media tag.
If this file is dynamically generated on the fly by the server what do I need to change to resolve this issue?

I will suggest you to go through this doc for complete implementation details. It is pretty comprehendable and would help you understand http live streaming better.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSeb6b7485f9649bf23d103e5512e08f3a33 8-8000.html#WSd391de4d9c7bd609a95b3f112a373a7115-7ff6.
As per your questions -
1. "I try to access the stream using the local player at http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m" - This should be http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/liveevent.f4m.
     The name of the f4m is the name of the event you are referring to. In your case, the live event - liveevent is associated with all your three livestreams- namely livestream1, livestream2. livestream3.
2. "Do I need to create BOTH a 'manifest.xml' and a 'event.xml'? And do both of these files need to be in the event directory like below?" - Yes. If you are using mbr you need both these files at the exact place you mnetioned.
For simple single bitrate streams, mainfest.xml file is optional.
3. "If I need to manually create a manifest.xml file would this file and directory be correct?" - Yes, you are right on track. Create the file Manifest.xml and place it inside events directory at the place you mentioned.
4. "Do I need to use a absolute url in the streamid field in manifest.xml to resolve the error msg 'The F4M document contains errors URL missing from Media tag'?" - No. This is not needed. StreamId is not the content path, that is taken care of by the url path in the output manifest. You streamIds will be - livestream1, livestream2, livestream3.
After all this, I would suggest you to check one more thing. If you are publishing the way you mentioned above, there would be '.stream' files (For eg - 'MTYxMjAzMzAzMg=.stream' ) created in your events folder - "C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent\". You should check that there are 3 and only three files formed. It somehow happens that when you publish and republish again without deleting these files, FMS creates multiple copies and tries to map each one to the actual content written at - C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\livestream1\ etc.. So there should be three files and each one should point to one of the streams directory. If there are more, please delete these files, delete your hds streaming content (if possible) and republish again the same way.
This should solve your problem. If still you are facing some issues, do let us know.
Thanks,
Apoorva.
