To read xsl values of subsequent nodes in xml document

Hi,
I have a xml document which looks something like this
<report>
<prelist>
<row>
<field name="learning" value="Internet basics"/>
</row>
<row>
<field name="learning" value="General Knowlege"/>
</row>
</prelist>
<list>
<row>
<field name="learning" value="Internet basics"/>
<field name="tool" value="xml"/>
</row>
<row>
<field name="learning" value="Internet basics"/>
<field name="tool" value="xmlxsl"/>
</row>
<row>
<field name="learning" value="General Knowledge"/>
<field name="tool" value="xmltool"/>
</row>
</list>
</report>
What i would like to do is
I read the prelist structure and retrieve the value of "learning"
For each value i retrieve i would like to read the list structure for similar values
e .g in first iteration i get the value = "Internet Basics" from prelist node then from list node i would like tool node with value = "xml" and value="xmlxsl"
Please let me know if this is possible and nay help would be appreciated..
Thanks.

I don't see how you go from the prelist to the list but I guess that doesn't matter.
You can load the XML into a DOM document then use the Document method:
getElementsByTagName
public NodeList getElementsByTagName(String tagname)
Returns a NodeList of all the Elements with a given tag name in the order in which they are encountered in a preorder traversal of the Document tree.
Parameters:
tagname - The name of the tag to match on. The special value "*" matches all tags. Returns:
A new NodeList object containing all the matched Elements.

How to read the content in one node of XML in Java? Pls help

My dear brothers,
I am a newbie of XML, I have a exercise which is creating a Tree View from XML file. But the trouble is I do not know how to read the content in one node of XML file. I decide to use the algorithm as following:
1. Create a GUI form which gives the ability for user to choose a XML file (ok)
2. Load XML and return the file (ok)
3. Read the file from node to node to create the node in Tree View (?!)
Please help me, and if you are enough kind, please give me an small example to easy understand. Thanks in advance.

Need to chart attribute value of just one child node of XML document

I have a XML document with (for example) 7 parent nodes, each
parent node has 5 child nodes. The parent nodes have an attribute
@EarlierDTS (DateTime type) that is the x-axis category of a chart.
Each child node has an attribute @eventid which specifies the id of
the event, and another atttribute @NumOccurs which specifies how
many times that event occured in that period.
How do I tell Flex I want a simple line chart of the eventID
= 215? What if I want two lines, for both eventID=215 and
eventid=307?
I have studied the posts and blogs for over a week now, and
have seen this question or similar come up quite a few places, with
no answer.
1) Should I focus on learning how to create a filterfunction
for the XMLList that underlies my XMLListCollection so that the
filtered data view is just one child node per parent node ( or two
child nodes for the second case)? And set the filtered data view as
the dataprovider of my chart's vertical series?
2) Should I focus on learning how to create a XML Filter
query that selects just one or two child nodes for each parent
node, and set the charts' series' dataprovider to this filter
expression? (I don't think this is allowed - but I'm checking with
the forum members...)
3) Should I focus on learning how to convert the
XMLListCollection into a HierarchicalData object, and then learning
how to filter this object so there is only one (or two) childs per
parent? This seems like a lot of coding - I almost have to create a
pair of classes - one for the parent and one for the child - so I
can create nested ArrayObjects.
4) Should I create a brand new XMLList by walking the
original XML list, and inserting Parent nodes and just the child
nodes that match the eventID(s) I want to chart, into the new
XMLList?
I believe that the easiest way would be to create a
Filterfunction for the XMLList, and bind the chart series to the
(filtered) XML List. But the problem with this approach is that I
have seen more than 2 posts asking how to accomplish filtering that
removes specific children from the view, with no solutions posted.
Help! What is the best way to get just one child for each
parent, from an XMLList?

I'd just look at a dataFunction. There's an example here that
may point you
in the right direction:

So, the solution is pretty easy:
storeChartDataBeanParameters( String inputUserId) searches for nodes named "+parameter+" in xml file with attribute "+userDd+".
If method parameter equals to xml data, I perform some operations and save new data.
The only thing, that saveFile(Document doc) must be syncronized.
Two users can't write to fie at the same time.
[This link|http://www.aviransplace.com/2005/03/20/working-with-xml-files-in-java-using-dom/5/] helped me alot.
Also Dr. Clap posts in different topics brought evidence to my mind.

Read XSL-FO file in Flex

Hi,
I am trying to read XSL-FO file in flex like XML. but i could not. This file has tags with namespace means (fo:),so i could not find the way to read these tags. Is there anyway i can read XSL-FO File in Flex.
Example : <fo:layout-master-set>
Thanks In Advance.

I posted an article on how to parse XML structures that use namespaces a while back, please visit this link: http://blog.wisebisoft.com/2009/07/15/parsing-xml-structures-that-use-namespaces/ Since the XLS-FO file is just another XML structure, you should be able to parse it the same way as you'd parse any other XML structure. Good luck.

How to read the value of a field belonging to a different context node in GET_I method during runtime

I want the read the value of a field,'LCSTATUS' belonging to context node 'BTADMINH' in the GET_I method of the field, 'ZZFLD000008' belonging to context node,'ZBTACTIVITYH'.
In the context node class of context node 'ZBTACTIVITYH',I have created an instance attribute,GR_OWNER type ref to context class.
I get the following error in the line - lv_act_status = Lr_entity->if_bol_bo_property_access~GET_PROPERTY_AS_STRING( 'LCSTATUS' ).

Hi,
LCSTATUS is not an attribute of the BTADMINH structure. It is read using the relation to the status object
BTADMINH-> BTHeaderStatusSet-> BTStatusHCurrent-> ACT_STATUS.
Try reading the ACT_STATUS of object BTStatus as given below.
        data: coll   type ref to if_bol_entity_col.
       data: entity type ref to cl_crm_bol_entity,
                     lv_act_status TYPE string.
       entity ?= current.                                                               "BTADMINH entity.
       coll = entity->get_related_entities(

Using dynamic select (xsl:value-of) in XSLT (ABAP)

Hi folks,
I did a quite extensive search in the archive but couldn't find an answer on my question. If it has been answered before please just provide me with the link :).
I need to make a dynamic select in a xsl-value-of in an ABAP XSLT. I do not know the structure of the input message (can be of any kind) and I want to perform a xpath query on the input message. The result of the transformation should be the value (if any) of the xpath query. As the query is not known in before I want to pass the query at runtime using a parameter in XSLT. If I pass my query as a string parameter the value-of just returns the string and not the value of the xpath query. Creating the parameter as a node-set doesn't work either for me.
So is there any way to use a parameter as input to an xpath query?
Or is my last resort using a JAVA XSLT processor. This is running inside a ABAP proxy, so a call to JAVA would be a greater hassle.
Kind regards
Joscha

as you see, <MAPSERVICELIST/> is empty and <LAYERLIST> contains all <LAYERDEF> of <MAPSERVICEDEF>/<LAYERLIST>
The ones of BASEMAP are kept unchanged but the ones of MAP1 are having a new attribute value for id.
Thanks four your help.

You can implement very straightforward map in BizTalk like below:
If you are interested in XSLT of this map, I copied below which visual studio gave me when i validated the map:

Problem replacing Null nodes with real values in XML documents...

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
Our friends in Java land are insisting on passing data between Java and PL/SQL using fairly small XML documents (don't ask). I then need to extract the input parameter values and pass them, on to the stored procedures that actually do the work. These return a result which needs to be returned to the java layer in the output XML document.
Here is a cut down version of the input XML...
<ParameterList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Parameter>
<Id>1</Id>
<Result xsi:nil="true"/>
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
<Id>2</Id>
<Result xsi:nil="true"/>
</Parameter>
</ParameterList>
and this is an example of what I am expected to return...
<ParameterList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Parameter>
<Id>1</Id>
*<Result>SUCCESS</Result>*
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
<Id>2</Id>
*<Result>WARNING</Result>*
</Parameter>
</ParameterList>
i.e. I am expected to replace the value of the Result node with a string indicating the succes or otherwise of the underlying PL/SQL process.
I am extracting the input values using the DBMS_XMLDOM functions and naively assumed that DBMS_XMLDOM.SETNODEVALUE could be used to update the value in the Result node - It didn't work so I resorted to reading the documentation which revealed that it will not work for a null node.
Am I going to have to use XSLT to generate the output XML from the Input and incorprate the result? Or is there a simpler way?
I have used XSLT in Oracle before and still have the nervous tick...

Thanks A Non,
With your suggestion and a bit of help from the w3schools.com xml dom tutorial I eventually managed to work out how to do this.
Here is the code (with all my debug stuff in so it looks worse than it is...)

dbms_xmldom.writeToBuffer(l_new_DOM_node, l_string);
dbms_output.put_line('6 New node : ' || l_string);

dbms_output.put_line('7 Updated document ' || l_string);
dbms_xmldom.freeDocument(l_DOM_doc);
END ExtractXMLValues;
and the output...
1 <ParameterList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</Parameter>
</ParameterList>

One question, why do the dbms_xmldom functions return the Old value? I was expecting the returned value to be the updated node.

How to read all values of a queue

Hi All,
In Message mapping I am checking condition for field value based on incoming value.
In test cases i can see the second or third occurence is getting supressed and first value fails the condition and mapping node not created.
I would like to know how to read multiple values from queue and check condition for each value and if correct value present condition should pass.
I tried all possible context changes but no luck.
Any ideas how to read all values coming .
Thanks.

XML-22009: (Error) Attribute 'select' not found in 'xsl:value-of'

Hello,
I'm a long-time Siebel developer but novice to BIP, trying to enhance some complex rtf templates that an experienced xdo/bip developer (contractor) designed for us in the past, with a couple of new fields that have been added to the integration object.
All templates and sub-templates receive 'no errors found' when using add-in tool selection of 'Validate Template'. Unfortunately we cannot utilize the 'preview' capability due to the way the sub-templates are called, so only way to test is to upload into server and attempt to run real-time.
This results in UI error of SBL-OMS-00203, which when we dig into the xdo log file turns out to be:
<Line 648, Column 88>: XML-22009: (Error) Attribute 'select' not found in 'xsl:value-of'.
I have exported all templates and sub-templates into XSL-FO Style Sheet and looked at line 648 column 88, and none of them seem to correspond to this line/column combination (in fact most exports do not even go that high in lines).
Googling 'XML-22009' hasn't proven to be of much help, so reaching out to the xdo experts in this forum.
How are the line/column #'s determined in the xdo log output?
I am pretty sure that it must be some issue with my 'Main' template, since none of the sub-templates have been changed (and the current version of the report, without the new fields incorporated, still runs fine from the UI). In the XSL-FO format export of the (modified, with new fields added) 'Main.rtf' file, line 648 places it right in the midst of a bunch of hex which corresponds to an imbedded image (which was also part of the existing template, no change there) and that line only has 65 columns (i.e. doesn't even go up to 88), so I'm questioning how valid the Line/Column information is in the xdo log error message.
Any hints on troubleshooting this one would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks & Regards,
Katrina

Hi,
as I wrote in the inital message, we even left out the output method or used "application/pdf". The result is unfortunately always the same. And I still claim this is not a problem with the stylesheet itself, it has to do something with the mobile's environment.
Something I didn't tell: we have 2 servlets in our application, 1 responsible for output in html and 1 in pdf. The .fo stylesheet passed to the 'html servlet' is parsed correctly (and shows the source code, because it does not know about fo and conversion to pdf), the .xsl stylesheet passed to the 'pdf servlet' raises same exception/same line. You might tell us that there is a problem with the 'pdf servlet', but once again: why in online it is working?
Greetings and thanx very much for your precious time!

XSLT : Problem using xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"

Hello,
I have some problem using "disable-output-escaping" attribute of xsl:value-of() function.
I have a table SONGS with two columns XML and XSL filled with :
<song>
<title>Isn't she lovely?</title>
</song>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"></xsl:output>
<xsl:template match="//song">
    <out>
      <xsl:value-of select="title" disable-output-escaping="yes"></xsl:value-of>
    </out>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>The query to transform XML with XSL :
SELECT XMLTRANSFORM (xml, xsl) FROM songs;I get this XML :
<out>Isn't she lovely?</out>but I want that (without the '&' special character) :
<out>Isn't she lovely?</out>How can I procees to succeed ?
Thanks,
Dominique

What DB version?
The following SQL
select xmltransform(XMLTYPE('<song>
<title>Isn''t she lovely?</title>
</song>'), XMLTYPE('<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"></xsl:output>
<xsl:template match="//song">
    <out>
      <xsl:value-of select="title" disable-output-escaping="yes"></xsl:value-of>
    </out>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>'))
from dual;produces this on 11.1.0.6
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<out>Isn't she lovely?</out>and this on 10.2.0.4
<out>Isn't she lovely?</out>I found a couple of previous discussions regarding this at
{thread:id=679397}
{thread:id=879301}
The last discussion provides a workaround if you need it.

Replacing a value of a node with CDATA (as is)

Hi All,
How do I replace the value of a node such that it's CDATA format is preserved and not re-encoded. Currently, when I do similar to the following:
replace value of node doc(doc_name)/parent/node with "<![CDATA[[the data]]]>"
the less than and greater than signs are replaced with &lt ; and &gt ; respectively, losing its CDATA section status.
How do I replace the value such that within the resulting XML it is exactly "<![CDATA[[the data]]]>" and not "&lt ;[CDATA[]the data]]&gt ;" ?
Thanks in advance
Cecil

John,
I am aware that it's synatic sugar. However, I actually need it to look that way. Thing is after edits, the resulting XML will be read by a component (that I have no access to change) which requires that node to have CDATA (as is) as it's value.
Anymore ideas; Anyone?
Instead of replacing the value (ie. replace value of node doc()...), I replaced the node (ie. replace node doc()...) with something similar to: <node>CDATA-section</node>. However, as expected only the data within the CDATA section gets persisted.
In this case could I turn something off or on such that xmldb leaves the CDATA-section as is? e.g. http://www.xquery.com/tips_and_tricks/including_CDATA_in_results.html
Thanks,
Cecil

Modify a value of a node

Hi fellow developers
I�m trying to modify a value of a node.
But I think I�m missing something. Please help.
thanks in advance
for(int i=0;i<List.getLength();i++){
                    node=List.item(i);
                    if(node.getChildNodes().item(0).getFirstChild().getNodeValue().equals(projectNum)){
                         projectNum = node.getChildNodes().item(0).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
                         node.getFirstChild().setNodeValue("333");

Without the dtd, it is not clear why the sample code fails but here are a few pointers that may be of use:
- The j2ee tutorial on java.sun.com:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JAXPDOM5.html#wp64575
has a section on 'examing the structure of a dom' .
Excerpt for the above URL:
Note: Important! Text nodes exist under element nodes in a
DOM, and data is always stored in text nodes. Perhaps the most
common error in DOM processing is to navigate to an element
node and expect it to contain the data that is stored in that
element. Not so! Even the simplest element node has a text
node under it that contains the data. For example, given
<size>12</size>, there is an element node (size), and a text
node under it that contains the actual data (12).
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/examples/jaxp/dom/samples/DomEcho02.java is a useful program to analyze the structure of a dom.
- You can try printing the DOM and analyse the structure of DOM. The following URL has a set of useful samples for xml dom processing: http://developers.sun.com/sw/building/codesamples/dom/. In particular the DOMUtils class has two useful static methods for debugging a DOM:
1. printDOM(org.w3c.dom.Node node): Prints the specified node, then prints all of its children.
2. writeXmlToFile(java.lang.String filename, org.w3c.dom.Document document): This method writes a DOM document to a file
http://developers.sun.com/sw/building/codesamples/dom/doc/DOMUtil.java
- http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=34 is the forum for java technology & xml.
Hope u find the pointers useful.

Reading Infoobject value in Report

Hi,
I have an infoobject with hierarchy say POBJECT. a variable called HPOBJECT is created so that user is can sleect the Hierarchy and Node of the Hierarchy.
Now the task is i need to create an another variable which reads the Hierarchy value of the POBJECT.Normally i_t_var_range in CMOD should contain the value. so that i can read the value based on the HPOBJECT . But the problem here is in different Queries they have used different variables for the object POBJECT like HPOBJECT and QOPBJECT.
so i have a problem in making a statement like
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO l_var_range WITH KEY vnam = '.HPOBJECT'. As this vnam is not same for all the Queries. so i want to read the value of the POBJECT rather than reading based on the vnam.
I can also make the statement
from
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO l_var_range WITH KEY vnam = '.HPOBJECT'.
to
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO l_var_range WITH KEY IOBJNM = 'POBJECT, but the problem here is POBJECT conatins Hierarchy and also Node.
Does any body have an idea how this can be achieved?.
Thanks.
Praveen.
