Tranformation of xml

how could one transform one Xml file into another xml file
how could java help me
plz... suggest me some materials ,some examples
bye
advance thanks

You want to use XSLT. The Java 2 SDK has an API for XSL transformations since version 1.4. Lookup the documentation. (Click on "Technologies / XML" on the left side of this page, I'm sure there's documentation there you can use).

Need help in creating XSD for a WSDL file to tranform given XML

Hi,
Please let me knoe if this is the right forum to post the query below:
We are trying to transform a XML output from a webservice using a XSD file. But we are facing problem as the XML output has some namespace issue and schema due to which transformation is not working fine. I am pasting the files below:

I am not sure what we are missing in XSD file that the XML output is not getting transformed correctly...although we tried transforming the XML output by removing some information in XML output above and it was getting trasformed properly..
We remove
1. xmlns = "http://tempuri.org/Projectix20/SOAPAccess" from <ExecuteSQLToXMLResponse xmlns = "http://tempuri.org/Projectix20/SOAPAccess" >
2. xmlns = "" from <NewDataSet xmlns = "" >
3 remove <parameters > and </parameters > tags from output and the XML Output is getting tranformed correctly.
Please let us know if we can transform the XML Output without requiring these removals.
Thanks,
Pawan

Could you clarify some things? You are saying you are trying to transform the xml output of a webservice with an xsd, but an xsd is a schema that describes the allowed format of a xml file. If you want to transform xml from one format to an other (from one xsd to an other) you have to use a xsl file. You can make and test this with JDeveloper. Are you calling the webservice from esb or bpel?
Kind Regards,

Tranform an xml to string

Hello,
This is maybe a stupid question, but how can I assign an xml content to a string variable ?
for example, I have a variable of type Element containing <test><taga>A</taga><tagb>B</tagb></test> and I would like to assign a String variable with the same content...
In fact, I'm searching for the opposite of parseEscapedXML() function.
Any solution ?
Thanks by advance.

HI ,
In java we have a class XMLUtils in which wehave many usefull methods ,,,,,

XSLT to convert XML into Tables

Hi,
I'm trying to import my XML data into a table format. After adding an XSL file to my Structure Application as a Preprocessing Stylesheet, and importing my XML instance file with the Template file opened, the "Unknown File Type" error window appeared asking for a file format to Convert From. Picking any one doesn't create a table.
The XSL file tranforms the XML data into an HTML file that has a table with columns corresponding to the XML data. I was thinking using that type of XSL because it renders tables.
Below is the XSL markup:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>Products</h2>
    <table border="1">
      <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Number</th>
        <th>Date</th>
      </tr>
      <xsl:for-each select="Products/Product">
      <tr>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="Number"/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="Date"/></td>
      </tr>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Title, Number, and Date are child elements of the Product element, which is a child element of the Products root element in my XML file.
Am I applying the stylesheet correctly here? Am I using the write kind of stylesheet?
Thanks,
zeb

Hi Michael, Van,
Thank you for responding to my post. Your feedback was very helpful!
I was able to get the table to generate in FrameMaker but no data from the XML file is flowing into it. All that appears is the header row with "Title," "Number," and "Date" in the cells, and a row with blank cells underneath it. The Structure View pane has a red "<no value>" for the "Cols" and "Widths" attributes of the Table element. Only the Title column is affected by the width value.
The XSL, RW, and EDD files are as a follows: (The structure for the XML is a "Products" root element with mulitple "Product" child elements that each have a "Title," "Name," "Date" child element.)
==========================XSL==================
<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" doctype-system="products_DTD3.dtd" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<products>
<Table cols="3" width="150">
<TableHeading>
    <TableRow>
        <TableCell>Title</TableCell>
        <TableCell>Number</TableCell>
        <TableCell>Date</TableCell>
    </TableRow>
</TableHeading>
<TableBody>
<TableRow>
<TableCell><xsl:for-each select="Products/Product"><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></xsl:for-each></TableCell>
<TableCell><xsl:for-each select="Products/Product"><xsl:value-of select="Number"/></xsl:for-each></TableCell>
<TableCell><xsl:for-each select="Products/Product"><xsl:value-of select="Date"/></xsl:for-each></TableCell>
</TableRow>
</TableBody>
</Table>
</products>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
==========================EDD==================
Element (Container): products
General rule:    Table
Valid as the highest-level element.

==========================RW===================
fm version is "10.0";
element "Table" {
is fm table element;
attribute "cols" is fm property columns;
attribute "width" is fm property column widths;
element "TableRow" is fm table row element;
element "TableHeading" is fm table heading element;
element "TableBody" is fm table body element;
element "TableCell" is fm table cell element;
===============================================
I'm having trouble placing the "<xsl:for-each select="Products/Product">" tag in the XSL file. When I put it under TRow, FrameMaker gives an error that "TRow is not a valid for content (TCell)+". Only when I place it within the TCell tags (as I have above) does the above-mentioned Table with a Header row and a row with empty cells generate.
Is the XSL the problem here?
Thanks,
Zeb

I want to import this XML into Indesign. It seems that the images path needs to be in a href attribute so Indesign accepts the node as an image object.
Another problem is that Indesign won't import the original xml with selection of the listed xsl to tranform the xml. So I used another xml editor instead to perform the transformation.
Thank you all for your help!

Hi Dorian_fs,
I think we're still missing details here on what exactly it
is you're trying to do? Are you loading this XML via a data set? In
which case, Don's samples would apply? Or are you trying to load
XML independent of data sets and regions, in which case, you are
looking for something that simplifies the access of data from the
resulting XML document? If the latter than perhaps you want to use
XMLDocToObject:

XML/XSLT question

At the moment my java servlet just takes content from an ArrayList and populates html blocks that get concatenated and thrown to the client as a html page. This is not the best way to do things because the java code and html vocabulary is interspersed.
In a bid to seperate the presentation(html code) from the logic(java code) I am turning to XSLT. From my research this takes as input an XML file that contains the content. But how do you insert the content? Is there a standard way? When the tranformation from XML to html is complete, how do you hand back the resulting html page within the java application? Thanks in advance.

One solution would be to use a JSP. It can retrieve the ArrayList from the Servlet and use it to build HTML. At least that way the mixture of HTML and Java is minimized in the source form. (Behind the scenes, the JSP is turned into a Servlet, so the mixture is still there, it is just not as visible.)
Another choice is to use DOM or JDOM to create the Html content using Element objects to create tags. The main advantage of that over doing "
...out.println( "<h1>...</h1>);
is that it makes sure the closing tags match, and empty tags are properly coded.
In answer to your direct question, there is no standard for how to code data into XML so you can run an XSLT transform to convert it into HTML. It also mixes Java logic and XML in the same file. You need to choose your poison.

How to fetch data from XML and store it in internal table

Hi All,
Can anyone help me out, in fetching data from xml and store it in an internal table. Is there any standard function module is there?
Regards,
Karthick

to do this you can either develop a XSLT program and use it with CALL TRNSFORMATION key word to tranform the XML into itab .
(search the ABAP General forum, i have posted few samples)
or simply use the following FM which converts your XML into a itab of name value pair (name would holw the element name and value would hold the value of the element) which you can then loop and read it to your itb.
data:             xmldata type xstring .
data: result_xml type standard table of smum_xmltb .
data: return type standard table of bapiret2 .
CALL FUNCTION 'SMUM_XML_PARSE'
EXPORTING
    xml_input       = xmldata
TABLES
    xml_table       = result_xml
    return          = return .

I use Tranformer.class, I just want to tranform the XML without validating the file.
In the parser class, you can use setValidate to avoid or not the validating action.
Do you know how to do the same with Transformer.class
Thanks C�dric

This one piqued my interest, and as no one had responded
yet I thought I'd poke around and see what's up.
I looked at the Transfermer class, and the javadoc pointed
me to the OutputKeys class, the only thing that looked
remotely interesting was the "STANDALONE" feature. I wonder
if you can set it to "true" and avoid the validation (as I
think Standalone implies, no DTD to validate against?)

Loading multiple tables from one xml-file

I've got one xml-file containing information which should be loaded into multiple database tables. How can I do that?

Please use XSLT to tranform to XML file with XSU recognized format and separated for different table input.
You may refer to Example in book "Building Oracle XML Applications".

XML Transformation

Hi All,
Can any one help me to tranforming the XML of following type
<Details>
<Name>AAA</Name>
<Number>111</Number>
<Subject>S1</Subjec>
</Details>
<Details>
<Name>AAA</Name>
<Number>111</Number>
<Subject>S2</Subjec>
</Details>
<Details>
<Name>AAA</Name>
<Number>111</Number>
<Subject>S3</Subjec>
</Details>
to the XML as
<Details>
<Name>AAA</Name>
<Number>111</Number>
<SubjectDetails>
<Subject>S1</Subject>
<Subject>S2</Subject>
<Subject>S3</Subject>
</SubjectDetails>

I need to do this in a XML transformation Mapping in a BPEL process using JDeveloper
Thanks in advance

Hi Pavan,
Kindly let me know how you did that.
2nd thing is , from where you started for BPEL.
I will also be working on BPEL, but dont know from where to start for this.
I have to study a big xml flow, in BPEL for my project,
Help me out with some links.

Send special character by mail

We are creating an XML spreadsheet that is sent by mail, and we are requested to show in a cell the special character Delta (u0394).
The overview of the process is the following:
- We create an XML file through IF_IXML interface, with enconding UTF-8 Little Endian.
- Then we render XML into an internal table.
- At last, we send the XML spreadsheet (the internal table) as an attached file by mail through SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
The problem we are facing is the following:
If we try to put Delta (u0394) as a character in a data tag (it's a variable of type String), SAP is turning it as '#', and not showing the character.
DATA: o_cell TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,
        o_data TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,
        v_string TYPE string.
* Crea una celda
o_cell = o_xmldoc->create_simple_element( name = 'Cell'
                                             parent = o_row ).
v_string = 'u0394'.
*   Crea un dato
    o_data = o_xmldoc->create_simple_element( name   = 'Data'
                                               parent = o_cell
                                               value = v_string ).
When you open the file in Excel, the '#' character is shown instead of 'u0394'.
How can I show that Delta character (u0394) in the XML spreadsheet file I am sending?
Please tell me if more information is needed.
Thanks in advance,
Martin

I tried like you said:
DATA: o_cell TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,
        o_data TYPE REF TO if_ixml_element,
        v_string TYPE string.
* Crea una celda
o_cell = o_xmldoc->create_simple_element( name = 'Cell'
                                             parent = o_row ).
v_string = '& #916;'.                                           'Added a space in the middle to show the HTML entity code in the forum
                                               parent = o_cell
                                               value = v_string ).
But SAP is tranforming my XML text to:
<Cell>&#916;<Cell>
( & is the HTML entity for '&')
How can I put Delta character so that SAP turns it in the right HTML entity Δ
Or how can I manage so that the cell value generated is:
<Cell>Δ<Cell>

Webservice returning string (but I need XML for XSLT Tranformation)

Hello everybody,
I have configured an ip with a webservice. So far so good - everything works fine.
Now I want to transform the output of the webservice with xslt. The webservice returns the data as a String in form of XML.
e.g.
    <!XML>
<!String>
<!String> </b>
</Bill> <!XML>
But XSLT don't find e.g the node , because it is a String. I think the right way is first to transform the String into XML. I tried this step with Java with the method
public void execute(InputStream inputStream, OutputStream outputStream)
        throws StreamTransformationException {
but it doesn't work. I am not sure, if this is the right way.I have searched for a code sample, but I didn't find anything.
What do you think?
Do you have a code sample?
This would be great!
Best regards,
Jürgen

Hello Bhavesh,
thx very much for your help.
Here is my Java Mapping:
public class ModusLebenTransformation implements StreamTransformation
public static byte[] readStream(InputStream in, boolean close)
    throws IOException
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int c = in.read();
    while (c > -1)
        out.write(c);
        c = in.read();
    out.flush();
    byte[] result = out.toByteArray();
    out.close();
    if (close)
        in.close();
    return result;
public void setParameter(Map map) {
public void execute(InputStream inputStream, OutputStream outputStream)
        throws StreamTransformationException {
   try {
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
   StreamResult result = new StreamResult(outputStream);
String input = new String(readStream(inputStream,true));
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(input), result);
} catch (Exception e) {
             throw new StreamTransformationException("Mapping failed", e);
But I don't know if this code is enough to convert the String( from the webservice) into XML.
And then I would like to use XSLT for transformation in a new mapping step.
Do you think this is possible?
Do you have a code sample, that will tranform the String (from the webservice) into XML?
This would be very helpful!
regards,
Jürgen

there's no way anyone can help you without seeing your code.

Using XSL to tranform xml in Livecycle designer es3

Hi,
I have a dynamic form (.xdp), an .xml data file binded to it, we need to make many manupulations to the text (the below xml does not have much text to show but that is our purpose)(i.e) to show partial bolds in some sentences etc, we figured out that this is not possible to manipulate the text in XML , so we thought of using XSL to overcome, but here comes the real problem,
i am starting it with real basic xsl-- used The option Trnsforming Incomimg data, but when i try to preview the .pdf from the designer it throws

Tranforming xml in struts giving exception

Hi,
I am using ajax with struts. I have to transform xml into html using xsl stylesheet at server side and send the response to the client.
I am using Transformer for the xml transformation. The whole transformation works fine in a simple java application but when i use it in strut framework it throw exception "could not compile style sheet". Following is the code written in the action class of the struts.

Thanx

I stuck with this same issue today and managed to resolve:
I removed all the Temp files in the server work directory (I use JBoss 4.0) and when restarted it works
