Transform xml datas

Hi,
I'm a real newbie in XML and Java. But I must use Java for this.
But all I want to do is the following:
I generate a XML file like this:
<day atday=12><hour athour=10><minute atminute=10>
<second atsecond=20>value1</second>
<second atsecond=21>value2</second>
<second atsecond=22>value3</second>
</minute></hour>
<hour athour=11><minute atminute=10>
<second atsecond=10>value4</second>
<second atsecond=11>value5</second>
</minute></hour></day>
Now I want to transform this to csv. Such that there is for every value in row2 the suitable date in row1.
Something like that:
12 10 10 20, value1
12 10 10 21, value2
12 10 10 22, value3
12 11 10 22, value4
If you have some similar code...please send it.
I need code which I can modify.
Thx

Several articles hinted at setting the factory namespace attribute to TRUE. I have tried that but same results. Here is the code :

//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() );

Exception x = sxe;
if (sxe.getException() != null)

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.

Problem in transforming xml data to HTML

Hai all,
I am new to J developer, I have generated XML data to transform to HTML.
Below is my xsql file with the name 'simpleqry.xsql'
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<page xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" connection="java:comp/env/jdbc/testDS">
<xsql:query max-rows="-1" tag-case="lower" null-indicator="no">SELECT EMPNO,ENAME,SAL FROM EMP WHERE SAL >= 5000</xsql:query>
</page>
it is producing the XML datas
Further I need to convert it into HTML
so I generated xsl stylesheet in under META-INF with the name 'EmpDetails.xsl'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output encoding="ISO-8859-1" method="text/html" />
<xsl:template match="/page">
<html>
<head>
<title>Employee Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<H2> EMPLOYEE QUERY RESULTS</H2>
<h5><em> Following demonstrates XSQL query</em></h5>
<table border="1" cellspacing="1" align="center">
<tr bgcolor=" #F9F0C1">
<th>EMP ID</th>
<th>EMPLOYEE NAME</th>
<th>SALARY</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="ROWSET/ROW">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="EMPNO"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="ENAME"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="SAL"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
next I have added the following to simpleqry.xsql
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="EmpResults.xsl" ?>
so my simpleqry.xsql file look like this
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="C:\JDeveloper\mywork\Application1\querysql\public_html\WEB-INF\EmpDetails.xsl" ?>
<page xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" connection="java:comp/env/jdbc/testDS">
<xsql:query max-rows="-1" tag-case="lower" null-indicator="no">SELECT EMPNO,ENAME,SAL FROM EMP WHERE SAL >= 5000</xsql:query>
</page>
when I rerun my simpleqry.xsql file it not generating the output .
My J developer version is 'Oracle IDE 11.1.2.0.38.60.17'
I know I made it lengthy. I made it clear so that you can understand my problem clearly. Please explain me how to solve the above mentioned problem(To generate HTML from XML data)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Uraja

next I have added the following to simpleqry.xsql
+<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="EmpResults.xsl" ?>+
so my simpleqry.xsql file look like this
+<?xml version='1.0' ?>+
+<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="C:\JDeveloper\mywork\Application1\querysql\public_html\WEB-INF\EmpDetails.xsl" ?>+
What is added is different from what is listed in the XSQL, the xsl is different, the path to xsl is different.
Specify relative path for xsl.

Transforming XML data into SVG line charts using XSLT

Hi
I am trying to transform revenue data from an XML file into an SVG line chart. The problem is that I am quite new to XPath and XSLT and whereas I can draw the grid for my chart I struggle drawing the lines using the data from the XML doc.
The XML look something like the one below, and I would like to have one chart for each product and in each chart having the time on the x-axis and chart the revenue by regions.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks

You could try Jeni's XSLT utilities for SVG :
http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/utilities/svg-utils.html
Specifically, the sample code provided, when a couple of SVG charts are being generated from XML data :

Hope that helps.

Instead of using SVG charting can I suggest that you look into digital charts. This service creates charts on the fly and is very easy to integrate with web applications.

Have you tried creating a Pivot Table and tweaking the table to get the desired output?
I can send you the RTF if you provide me an email address or send me an email at [email protected]

Transforming XML source to (X)HTML StreamResult outputs long comment

Hi,
I'm using javax.xml.transform.* to transform XML data into an XHTML page. The XML data represents a document (contains information about headers, paragraphs, related pages, etc.) and an XSL file is used to properly transform that data into an XHTML compatible file. All transformations go just as they should, however, the XHTML output contains a very lenthy comment about elements and attributes concerning HTML. Obviously, I do not want this comment in my final output. As a side note: I'm using a StreamSource(File) for the XML data source, a StreamSource(File) for the XSL file and a StreamResult(HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream()) for the HTML output. I'm not sure wether the problem is with using a StreamResult directly (rather than a SAXResult), or because I'm outputting directly to the servlet output stream. All input and output is in UTF-8, and the HttpServletResponse has been configured using setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") and setContentType("text/html").
Everything works fine, except I get this stinkin' long comment, which I want gone.
Thanks,
Yuthura

I get the following result.html file (properly transformed and displayed in my browser, except for the comment):

BI Admin Tool and XSLT transformation for XML data source - How it works ?

Hello,
There is a possibility to import data from XML data source using BI Admin Tool.
In the import window we can point XSLT file. What is the purpose of that XSLT field?
Why I am asking ?
I thought it is smth like XSLT processor, but simply it doesnt work.
What I did:
- I pointed XML data source file
- I pointed XSLT transformation file
- Click OK, and still get the message that the XML file structure is not supported
After that I transformed that XML file with some desktop XSLT processor using the same XSLT file, and I tried to connect that file directly using BI Admin tool.Then it works. So it means that the transformation is ok.
So basically one question comes to my mind in that situation:
What is the purpose of XSLT field in BI Admin Tool when it comes to XML data source ?
(it doesnt look like XSLT processor)
Greetings

Hi Mariano
Why you need to use XSLT for transforming XML file into ABAP table
Code is a part of some ABAP report. Looks like it is reading a file from file system and updating table after transformation
If you have requirement like you need to read XML file and then insert the data into a SAP table
You can use
File to RFC
File to Proxy scenario using SAP PI.
Please provide more inputs on requirement to help
Thanks

Complex transformation inserting xml data to oracle database.

Hi,
I Have one small Problem While loading xml data to a oracle database.
In the XSD i have the Columns Like this.
<Data>
<Type_Trs>
<T1>
<T2>
</Data>
My Database contains only two columns
For Example:
Type_Trs
Corr_Data.
Now My problem is Based on Type_Trs Value i need to take values of T1 and T2 should be loaded in Corr_Data column.
How to write Xsl transformation for this using <xsl:choose>.
For Clearing the Question I am giving the Example.
Case : 1
<Data>
<type_Trs>BO</Type_Trs>
<T1>1</T1>
<T2>2</T2>
</Data>
In the Example my type_trs is value 'BO', so the Data in table should be
Type_Trs Corr_Data
======= =======
BO 1
Case : 2
<Data>
<type_Trs>CP</Type_Trs>
<T1>1</T1>
<T2>2</T2>
</Data>
In the Example my type_trs is value 'CP', so the Data in table should be
Type_Trs Corr_Data
======= =======
CP 2
For doing this How can i write my XSL transformation based on the condition?
Thanks in advances
Regards
GSR

Why do you need a XSL transformation for this? Can you not get the results based on this select:
SQL> SELECT DISTINCT EXTRACTVALUE (t2.COLUMN_VALUE, 'Type_Trs') type_trs,
                CASE EXTRACTVALUE (t2.COLUMN_VALUE, 'Type_Trs')
                   WHEN 'BO'
                      THEN EXTRACTVALUE (t3.COLUMN_VALUE, 'T1')
                   WHEN 'CP'
                      THEN EXTRACTVALUE (t4.COLUMN_VALUE, 'T2')
                END corr_data
           FROM TABLE
                   (XMLSEQUENCE

XSL transform question from XML date datatype to SQL date datatype

Just to give an idea, I am reading some employee information in a CSV format and I have created the fileadapter to read it and parse it into coherent information where each comma separated value corresponds to a column in an employee table. One of the columns is of the date object in the database.
So my my variable is created with a list of employees and then fed into the invoke that calls a dbadapter that does the insert. I am using a transformation to get the values from one variable into the other simply because of namespace conflicts. However the xml date will not match the sql date object as to be expected...but how do I work around it? I have a few ideas but I am not sure they are worth mentioning.
Any suggestions?

Xml data into non-xml database.. solution anyone?

Hi,
My current project requires me to store the client's data on our servers. We're using Oracle9i. Daily, I will download the client's data for that day and load it into our database. My problem is that the data file is not a flat file so I can't use sql*loader to load the data. Instead, the data file is an xml file. What is the best way to load xml data into a non-xml database? Are there any tools similar to sql*Loader that will load xml data into non-xml database? Is it the best solution for the client to give me an XML dump of their data to load into our database, or should I request a flat file? My last resort would be to write some sort of a script to parse the xml data into a flat file, and then run it through sql*loader. Is this the best solution? One thing to note is that these files could be very large.
Thanks in advance.

I assume that just putting the XML file into an
extremely large VARCHAR field is not what you want.
Instead, you want to extract data elements from the
XML and write them to columns in a table in your
database. Right?Yes. Your assumption is correct.
It sounds like you already have a script that loads a
flat file into your database. In that case I would
write an XSL transformation that converts the client's
XML into a correctly-formatted flat file.Thank you. I'll look into that. Other suggestions are welcome.

XML Data Load into releational structures

Hi,
I am very unexperienced in using XML and have the problem
to import very large XML data files into existing reletional structures.
In our production DB we don't use the java engine, so
that PL/SQL an the SQL Loader are the only available ways to import the data.
At the moment we get flat files and use the SQL Loader utility. But an interface to a new system send XML data now and I have to fill the same old releational structure with the new data.
Can anybody give me a hint about the best technic for an high performance import. Are there any existing tools for the relational mapping?
Regards Ralph

Thank you for your reply.
You are right. We only want to break the XML to fill our relational structures. We don't need the XML data further on. But we have to load the data in temporary structures, because we have to transform the data in our own format. (The system which delivers the XML data is external and uses another data model)
Is there no more elegant way with use of databse built in technics? The XML data we get can be validated against a XML schema.
So I thought, it could be a way to load the XML in the XDB and register the schema in the database. After that store the XML data in the default generated object relational structures and then programm the data transformation and the data flow between these default structures to our target data structures with PL/SQL.
I don't know if this way is performant enough.
If I use an external tool i have to code the relational mapping outside the database and insert the data with use of ODBC in temporary structures which i have to create manualy.
So I hoped to find a way to load the data in any relational structure using the advantages of XML and XML schema and code the neccasary logic inside the DB.
Do you have any further hints for my problem?
Regards Ralph

Reading XML Data from ABAP Program?

Hi,
How do I read XML Data from an ABAP Program? For example if I have the below basic XML Code-
<xml>
<Name> Thiru </Name>
<Age> 24 </Age>
<City> chennai </Chennai>
</xml>
How do i read the data within the Name,Age, and City tags into variables in the ABAP Program?
Regards,
Thiru

if you decide to do in XSLT, I have a sample list here:
XML file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<F>
<P1>
<t_1>value1</t_1>
<t_2>testvalue</t_2>
</P1>
<P2>
</P2>
</F>
XSLT file like this:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sapxsl="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="F">
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<<b>DOCUMENT</b>>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</<b>DOCUMENT</b>>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="P1">
<ENTRY>
<<b>T_1</b>><xsl:value-of select="t_1"/></T_1>
<<b>T_2</b>><xsl:value-of select="t_2"/></T_2>
</ENTRY>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
ABAP program like this:
DATA: BEGIN OF wa_upload,
text(255) TYPE c,
END OF wa_upload,
itab_upload LIKE TABLE OF wa_upload,
BEGIN OF wa_document,
t_1 TYPE string,
t_2 TYPE string,
END OF wa_document,
itab_document LIKE TABLE OF wa_document.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = 'XXXXX'
filetype = 'ASC'
TABLES
data_tab = itab_upload.
CALL TRANSFORMATION zrappel_xml_test
SOURCE XML itab_upload
RESULT <b>document</b> = itab_document.
You should pay attention to the bold words.
hope it will be helpful
thanks

Best method to load XML data into Oracle

Hi,
I have to load XML data into Oracle tables. I tried using different options and have run into a dead end in each of those. I do not have knowledge of java and hence have restricted myself to PL/SQL solutions. I tried the following options.
1. Using DBMS_XMLSave package : Expects the ROWSET and ROW tags. Connot change format of the incoming XML file (Gives error oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Start of root element expected).
2. Using the XMLPARSER and XMLDOM PL/SQL APIs : Works fine for small files. Run into memory problems for large files (Gives error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError). Have tried increasing the JAVA_POOL_SIZE but does not work. I am not sure whether I am changing the correct parameter.
I have read that the SAX API does not hog memory resources since it does not build the entire DOM tree structure. But the problem is that it does not have a PL/SQL implementation.
Can anyone PLEASE guide me in the right direction, as to the best way to achieve this through PL/SQL ??? I have not designed the tables so am flexible on using purely relational or object-relational design. Although would prefer to keep a purely relational design. (Had tried used object-relational for 1. and purely relational for 2. above)
The XML files are in the following format, (EXAMINEEs with single DEMOGRAPHIC and multiple TESTs)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root_Element>
<Examinee>
<MACode>A</MACode>
<TestingJID>TN</TestingJID>
<ExamineeID>100001</ExamineeID>
<CreateDate>20020221</CreateDate>
<Demographic>
<InfoDate>20020221</InfoDate>
<FirstTime>1</FirstTime>
<LastName>JANE</LastName>
<FirstName>DOE</FirstName>
<MiddleInitial>C</MiddleInitial>
<LithoNumber>73</LithoNumber>
<StreetAddress>SomeAddress</StreetAddress>
<City>SomeCity</City>
<StateCode>TN</StateCode>
<ZipCode>37000</ZipCode>
<PassStatus>1</PassStatus>
</Demographic>
<Test>
<TestDate>20020221</TestDate>
<TestNbr>1</TestNbr>
<SrlNbr>13773784</SrlNbr>
</Test>
<Test>
<TestDate>20020221</TestDate>
<TestNbr>2</TestNbr>
<SrlNbr>13773784</SrlNbr>
</Test>
</Examinee>
</Root_Element>
Thanks for the help.

Please refer to the XSU(XML SQL Utility) or TransX Utility(for Multi-language Document) if you want to load data in XML format into database.
Both of them require special XML formats, please first refer to the following docs:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/xsu/xsu_userguide.html
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/transx/readme.html
You can use XSLT to transform your document to the required format.
If you document is large, you can use SAX method to insert data into database. But you need to write the code.
The following sample may be useful:
