To format string like xml

Hi,
i have a string which has a xml content:
String myXML = "<xml><test>Test</test></xml>";
With log4j i produce a trace file with the output of String a: Log.info(myXML);
Unfortunately the content of xml data is verly long and its difficult to read it.
I would like to have the string to be xml formatted like:
<xml>
<test>Test</test>
</xml>
how to manage it?
Thanks

Your best bet might to be getting a 'tidy' program for xml. Most xml editors can very cleanly re-structure xml to collapsible nodes.
Also you could try some proactive logging logic;
after a closing tag, add a \n to return a new line, this will help most editors make it display nicely.

Format String using XML attributes

I need to format a string based on attributes from a schema. I am attempting to do this using an Assign activity and the java embedded format string function. Here is a simplified version of what I am trying to do:
oraext:format-string('Service Error COD={0}', bpws:getVariableData('caXMLError','/CAXMLERROR/CLIERR/@COD'))
When I execute this line I get:
XPath expression failed to execute. An error occurs while processing the XPath expression; the expression is oraext:format-string('Service Error COD={0} ',bpws:getVariableData('caXMLError','/CAXMLERROR/CLIERR/@COD')). The XPath expression failed to execute;
The value at bpws:getVariableData('caXMLError','/CAXMLERROR/CLIERR/@COD' is valid because I can create a dummy xsd:string variable and set it equal to that.
I also tried to wrap the getVariableData with the get_content_as_string methods and neither worked. I also verified that my format-string function is working because when I substitute just a plain string like ‘T01’ the string is successfully created.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong or how I can accomplish this?

If the xml document is to be stored in the Oracle database with the XML SQL Utility, defne elements instead of attributes. XSU utility does not map the attributes of an xml document to the database table.

Parsing formatted String to Int

How can I parse formatted string to Integer ?
I have a formated string like this $900,000 and I need to convert it to 900000 so I could do calculations with it.
I tried something like this
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance(request.getLocale());
ttlMargin=nf.parse(screenVal);I got this exception
"java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "$1,050,000""

I am working on the JSP file that provides
margins,sales etc. I am reading this data off the
screen where it is beeing displayed according to the
accounting practices.
That's why I get it as a formatted string and why I
am trying covert that string to the numberScreen-scraping is a problematic, bad design. It sounds like what you really want is to call a web service which returns its results as data that a program can understand (XML, for example), not HTML (which is meant more for humans to read). I know, you probably can't change the design at this point... just food for thought. In the meantime, you'll probably have to manually parse those strings yourself by stripping out the '$' and ',' characters and then use parseInt on the result.

Formatting strings

I'm new to Java and I couldn't find a method/class to format strings like the old C-style sprintf().

There are several classes to format specific types of objects. If you said what you were actually trying to do (the first question) instead of what would be the equivalent of a construct in some other language (the second question) an answer would probably appear.

Parse XML formatted String

Hi All,
   I have a string field that is formatted in XML format. What I want to be able to do is pull a specific element from the xml formatted string.
Example string:
<customer><name>john</name><id>25636</id></customer>
I want to retreive just the id number of 25636 from this string.
I would I go about accomplishing this?
Thank you in advance,

I fixed it on my own.
Here' s my answer for others that may need it:
if(instr({field.xmlstring},'</id>') - instr({field.xmlstring},'<id>') = 7)then
   mid(totext({field.xmlstring}),instr({field.xmlstring},'<id>')+4,3)
else if(instr({field.xmlstring},'</id>') - instr({field.xmlstring},'<id>') = 8)then
   mid(totext({field.xmlstring}),instr({field.xmlstring},'<id>')+4,4)
else if(instr({field.xmlstring},'</id>') - instr({field.xmlstring},'<id>') = 9)then
   mid(totext({field.xmlstring}),instr({field.xmlstring},'<id>')+4,5)
I use the conditions to cover all possible lengths of the id number.

Any way to format text in xml

hi guys,
I have a photogallery done in flash. Its having a external
xml file where the descriptions and image location is defined. Is
there any way to add font color , font size , and all other font
formating options inside the xml file to take effect inside flash
movie. I have tried cddata , <b> , <fontface> etc
etc... but no result. Please any one help

you can write the html format string in the xml node just
like normal - however you must apply the string to a textField that
has it's html property set to true and you must use field.htmlText
to assign the string, as in:
field.html = true;
field.htmlText = "<b>bold text</b>";

OSB: fn-bea:inlinedXML format my signed XML

Hello.
I'm trying to replace my output xml message with the same message, but digitally signed.
My proxy flow looks like:
1. Call to BS.
2. In response, take the output from BS and digitally sign it (Service callout to a signing service).
3. Take the output from that service (it returns the signed xml into a "CDATA" section).
4. Extract the xml (CDATA), and call to fn-bea:inlinedXML
5. Substitute the output message with the xml in point 4).
But "inlinedXML" seems to format the xml string (whitespace, line breaks,...), so the sign is no longer valid.
¿Can OSB convert from string to xml without formatting?.
Thanks.

Hello.
Does anyone knows how to tell OSB to stop formatting my XML?.
Thanks.

String to XML

Hi everyone,
i'm just writing a method, that gets a string and a XPath and want writes the string to the specific XPath in my xml document. The problem ist, that the string itself can contain nodes like (e.g. <image> or something else from my dtd, so i got some problems converting the string to xml. Actually i'm trying this:
     public static void setEditFragment(String content, String xPath) throws Exception {
         DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
         DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
         Document document = builder.parse("data.xml");
         XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
         Node node = (Node)xpath.evaluate(xPath, document, XPathConstants.NODE);
         System.out.println(content);
         node.setTextContent(content);
         // Use a XSLT transformer for writing the new XML file
            Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
            // Set output to IsoLatin1
            transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
         DOMSource        source = new DOMSource( document );
         FileOutputStream os     = new FileOutputStream("tmp.xml");
         StreamResult     result = new StreamResult( os );
         transformer.transform( source, result );
     }but of course this will not work and sets up some cryptic signs in mein xml document....
can anyone give me advice ?
Thanks !

Well, if you already have the data XML encoded, then just write them to a file:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html
Make sure you encode the data with UTF8:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#getBytes(java.lang.String)
Write "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>" before the data!
Note however, I generally don't recommend to write XML data by hand. Rather use a framework like JAXB.

String to XML conversion without fatal error?

Can one of you tell me how to convert the folowing string to XML without fatal error?
String s1 = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-6.0"?> <Main> <sub> 12345 </sub> </Main>".

First, you can't have double quotes (") in a string like that, you need to do (\") instead. If you wrote the below line and saved the file as a file_name.xml It should work fine.
import java.io.*;
public class yourclass{
     public static void writeXML(){
          try{
               File xmlOut = new File("file_name.xml");
               BufferedWriter xmlWriter = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(xmlOut));
               String s1 = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-6.0\"?> <Main> <sub> 12345 </sub> </Main>";
               // you can concatenate the strings using a +
               // the \n will create a new line in the file
               String s2 = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-6.0\"?>" + "\n" + "<Main> <sub> 12345 </sub> </Main>";
               xmlWriter.write(s1);
               xmlWriter.close();
          }catch(Exception ex){
               ex.printStackTrace();
}There are a few other ways to do this, the one above is sloppy. One is XStream to convert xml to Java objects and back again. http://xstream.codehaus.org/tutorial.html

Conversion of xml string to xml file

To convert xml string to xml file in java i used
Document XMLDoc=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(new InputSource(new StringReader("<root><main>Title</main></root&g t;")));
But it is showing an error as InputSource cannot be resolved
How to rectify this

I assume you mean there is a compiler error? (It helps if you explain your problem instead of just giving a vague description of it.) It sounds like you have to import InputSource. You do know about the import statements that go at the beginning of a Java class, don't you?

Is there any function or expression in BPEL/XSLT to achieve the conversion of string to xml?
Just like the function "fn-bea:serialize() "in xquery.
Thanks in advance,
