Transforming xml and DataGrids

Hello
I am reading data from a large xml file. I read it in using
HTTPService and the result type is "E4X". It contains information
about items in a warehouse.
like this
<Inventory>
<warehouse name="Texas">
<chairs count="900"/>
<tables count="40"/>
<lamps count="200"/>
</warehouse>
<warehouse name="California">
<chairs count="20"/>
<tables count="200"/>
<lamps count="1"/>
</warehouse>
</Inventory>
So far I have been able to show a list of warehouses in a
mx:List control and then when I select a warehouse (texas in this
case) I would like to display the list of items and their counts in
an mx:DataGrid control.
I can see that I can use selectedItem of the mx:List to
return the Node for the Texas warehouse like this
<warehouse name="Texas">
<chairs count="900"/>
<tables count="40"/>
<lamps count="200"/>
</warehouse>
But how can I get the data to display in a data grid
ITEM COUNT
chairs 900
tables 40
lamps 200
Thanks
Todd

Not familiar with stxx, but it should allow you the use of the xsl:strip-space instruction or some equivalent, when the XSLT is applied to the XML for transformation...

Problems with XML and Datagrid!

Hi!
Trying to follow a similar idea to the app shown on the flex
homepage - i have the following code:
[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="

<mx:DataGrid
dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.videos.video}"/>
</mx:Application>
[/code]
However, when I run the application - it gives the following
error:

and fails to connect to the xml i think.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?!
Thanks

You need to specify the full URL. I would also suggest using
a result handler to assign the xml to your DataGrid dataProvider.
Below is a sample. I set the resultFormat to e4x, which is XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" creationComplete="srv.send()">
<mx:HTTPService id="srv"
url="
http://lab-cs3.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~aa322/mytube.xml"
result="videoListLoaded(event)"
resultFormat="e4x"/>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
[Bindable] private var videoList:XML;
private function videoListLoaded(evt:ResultEvent):void {
videoList = evt.result as XML;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:DataGrid x="10" y="10" id="videos_dg"
dataProvider="{videoList.video}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="200" headerText="label"
dataField="label"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="300" headerText="URL"
dataField="url"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="50" headerText="views"
dataField="views"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="150" headerText="Category"
dataField="category"/>

Transform XML and display xsl:message

Hi,
I have a simple method to transform XML. My XSLT has <xsl:message> to help debugging while transforming. How do I access the messages to System.out.printLn?
public static Document transformXML(Document xmlDoc, Document xslDoc) throws XMLHelperException {
          try {
               TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
               Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new DOMSource(xslDoc));
               DOMResult result = new DOMResult();
               transformer.transform(new DOMSource(xmlDoc), result);
               org.w3c.dom.Node resultNode = result.getNode();
               if (resultNode instanceof Document) return (Document)resultNode;
               else return result.getNode().getOwnerDocument();
          } catch (TransformerConfigurationException ex) {
               throw new XMLHelperException("Unable to perform transform " + ex.getLocationAsString(), ex);
          } catch (TransformerException ex) {
               throw new XMLHelperException("Unable to perform transform " + ex.getLocationAsString(), ex);
     }thanks for the help.

XML and DataGrid

Hi,
I am working with the XML files and here is my question.
This is the portion of the XML file
you can acess my xml file at
http://pastebin.com/f66fd1ee3
My XML file keeps changing and the number of action_column
nodes may vary for each xml file.
I am trying to display the xml file in the grid using
http://pastebin.com/f2e57f382
public function LabelFunc(item:Object,
column:DataGridColumn): String
return
item.action_column.(@column_number==column.dataField).@column_value;
So is there a way to know how many action_column nodes are
there and based on that can I do the datagrid dynamically?

You can get a list of all attributes by calling attributes().
You can use that info the generate an array of
DataGridColumns

Problem With XML and DataGrid)

Hi,
I do have a question how to get my XML data in the appropriate way into my DataGrid. I wrote a labelFunction to get the data into the grid but I still have the problem that the length of the DataGrid depends on the dataProvider and I can't find a way to specify that it should depend on a child object of the dataProvider.
If you look at the structure of the XML file you can see that for every date a couple of hours exist (normally 24 ) and measurements coming in every hour. So, naturally I would like to show the measurements in connection to the hour. The column 'Date' and 'Time' will be merged anyway to something like '23/2:10-11'. So, if it is easier to combine these values first and create that way a unique date I would be also happy.
However, the XML file and the Flex code you find at http://www2.dmu.dk/thob/Station_Nord/srcview/index.html and the Flex application you find at http://www2.dmu.dk/thob/Station_Nord/Station_Nord.html.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Thomas

I don't want to analyze that example. Are you asking how to
get an id or some other value when you select a row in a datagrid?
When you select an item in any list-based control, the
control's selectedItem properety contains a reference to the
dataProvider item object for that selected item. You can access any
property that is present in that object:
var sId:String = myDataGrid.selectedItem.myIDProperty;
If I have misunderstood, please restate your question.

Read a xml file from local directory, transform it and put in new local dir

Hi,
I have a simple requirement. I have one XML file in d://source folder. I want to read it, transform it and want to put the transformed xml file in new location d://target.
I am new to OSB. Please help me out to complete the above requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Use a polling file transport proxy service to read the file(d://source folder)
Do the necessary transformation XML or MFL(if the file is fixed length strings) in the proxy service stages.
Use a file transport business service to write the file to a directory(d://target).To be called from the proxy service route node.

New to XML and Oracle

Just trying to clarify some issues as I try and learn about XML, and specifically how it integrates into the DB.
1 - Is there a way with Oracle tools for me to get an XSD of an existing 9i relational schema? We are not currently using the XML DB, but our middleware developers would like to have an up to date XSD to use for their internal mapping.
2 - Is there any way that I can keep that XSD up-to-date automatically, so I get a new one whenever the schema gets updated?
3 - If I wanted to investigate storing XML docs within the DB in native XML format, I need to have an XML DB, correct? Is this DB construct maintained seperatelly from my "normal" relational schema? or are they kept in sync by Oracle?
I know these may all be real basic questions, but as I said, I'm new to XML and Oracle. I am reading as much as I can, but there are a lot of docs out there.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi
1. On my opinion such a tool doesn't exists. Some parts can be implemented elsewhere, but not as described by you... e.g. with XSU if you specify the parameter "withschema" the XSD of the executed statement is generated. Another example is to use DBMS_METADATA to dump the data dictionary in XML (but not XSD, of course you could write your own XSLT to do this transformation...).
2. -
3. If you use XSD-based tables the XSD and the relational model are stored separately in the data dictionary. Therefore if you change the XSD you have to drop/create the XSD-based table... no schema evolution yet.

How can I use JavaScript extention functions with Xalan for transforming XML with XSL

While transforming standart XML and XSL files to HTML with this servlet:
package mypackage1;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.mozilla.javascript;
public class Servlet2 extends HttpServlet
private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=windows-1252";
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
super.init(config);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException
try
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/aaa.xml"));
Source xslSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/bbb.xsl"));
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
transformer.transform (xmlSource, new StreamResult(out));
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
everything is going ok,
but when try to use javascript function in XSL file, for example like in this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt" xmlns:my-ext="ext1"

<lxslt:component prefix="my-ext"
functions="getdate">
<lxslt:script lang="javascript">
function getdate() {
var d = new Date();
return d.toUTCString();
</lxslt:script>
</lxslt:component>
<xsl:template match="/">
<p><xsl:copy-of select="my-ext:getdate()"/></p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
recieve error-message:
XSL-1000: (Fatal Error) Error while parsing XSL file (Extension function namespace should start with 'http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/'.).
What kind of namespace I should specify?

Hello, Paul.
I'm sure you may not use JavaScript as a language for creating XSLT extention functions with Oracle XDK Parser. This is since parser might have JavaScript interpreter to work with JavaScript, but it has not.
If you need to build any XSLT extention functions you must build them as Java class' static methods.
After that, you define the usage of the class by mean of namespace declaration as:
xmlns:your-ns="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/yourpackage.Yourclass"
(Prefix "http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/" may differs if you use non-Oracle XML parser)
and use class' static method in XSLT:
<xsl:value-of select="your-ns.staticMethodName(paramsIfAny)"/>
In your case you may wish to use standard Date class:
xmlns:date="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/java.util.Date"
<xsl:value-of select="date:toString(date:new)"/>

XML and XSD file to an internal table

I had read a lot of thread but i don't understand how to deal with xml/xsd in R3.
I need someone that have a definite example for this escenary please.
With OPEN DATASET took from the server XML and XSD file, and put it in two internal tables type string.
What functions or method have to use, and how to use them, to charge the XML file in an internal table?
This is an example of XML and XDS:
XML
AND CONTINUE
Best Regards,

I just tried to interpret your question, it was not obvious what you wanted.
I guess what you mean is that you have defined (statically) a deep structure, and you want to decode the XML into it. That is called a transformation (transaction STRANS, statement CALL TRANSFORMATION). You have the choice between 2 transformation languages: XSLT and ST. Of course, it depends what release you are running.
I advise you to play first with the ID transformation, to convert an ABAP deep structured data object into XML, so that you see what XML is generated, this one is called asXML. If you create your own transformation, when you call it, it will first convert automatically the data object to asXML, and the transformation has to do the rest of the job.
You can do the opposite, i.e. converting from XML to a data object, according to the same principle (intermediate asXML).
Well, there are lots of things to say, I recommend you to read articles and documentation on XSLT and ST (search on SDN).
About XSD, it won't help (and I did never see any possibility to use it) to decode the XML, as you must anyway define the target data object statically (and there's no tool to generate the ABAP code of the data object definition from the XSD).
Note that you may also use iXML libraries to parse the XML.
Please tell us more.

Your XML is strange, it looks like a mix of pdf form content (xfa) and identity transformation (asx).
Could you explain more ?
Anyway, I tried to find out the errors (not only cx_st_match_element, that was just a catch missing), it works with the following program. Here are the main issues I have found :
- always catch exception class cx_st_error when you use simple transformations (it contains cx_st_match_element and all other simple transformation exceptions)
- xml "asx:abap" and "asx:values" in your input XML are useless, they are only used by identity transformation ("ID"); you may keep them if you want, but I advise you to see why they are in the xml !
- Use same case in your tags (if xml contains in the transformation so that it corresponds to the input XML
- I renamed all abap names with prefix ABAP_ so that to clearly differentiate xml tags and abap field names (so that it is more easy to understand, for every sdn reader; I hope it will help as I didn't find many threads in the forum).

Inserting a node in XML and retaining the doc type

Hi All,
I want to insert one new node in an XML. Using the following code I can do that. But the problem is if the XML has doc type declaration then its giving me problem. After inserting the node the transformer is removing my doc type declaration from the XML. I have to retain the doc type definition (including entity declaration) as it is in the original XML file.
The following is the code that I'm using.
Document vDoc = null;
try {
// Contruct the DOM document
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
vDoc = builder.newDocument();
Node vFormNode = vDoc.createElement("Form");
vDoc.appendChild(vFormNode);
// Convert into a String the DOM document
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(vDoc);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
transformer.transform(source, result);
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}The doc type def. in the original file is some thing like this.
<!DOCTYPE article SYSTEM "someurl/TFJA.dtd"[
<!ENTITY T0001 SYSTEM ".\BTN_A_000112809_O_XML_IMAGES\BTN_A_000112809_O_T0001.gif" NDATA GIF>
<!ENTITY F0001 SYSTEM ".\BTN_A_000112809_O_XML_IMAGES\BTN_A_000112809_O_F0001g.gif" NDATA GIF>
<!ENTITY F0002 SYSTEM ".\BTN_A_000112809_O_XML_IMAGES\BTN_A_000112809_O_F0002g.jpg" NDATA JPEG>
]>I know that I can set up the doc type definition in the new XML using the following properties of the transformer.
transformer.setOutputProperty( OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"article" );
transformer.setOutputProperty( OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_PUBLIC,"my DTD def");
I cannot hard code the DTD def. as it can vary from one XML to another. Using doc.getDocType() I can get the doctype of the original XML. But is it is not returning the complete def. including entities declaration. Its giving me "someurl/TFJA.dtd".
Is there any way to retain the complete doc type in the original XML file? I don't have much experience in XML and this issue is eating my head.. Also do I have to modify the DTD to accommodate the new tags added in order to make it a valid XML?
Any help and sample code would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I also had similar requirement and when searching i came across this post. Later i found the solution for this. Instead of hardcoding the doctype you can get it from Document as follows..Snippet from the code i used..
DocumentType doctype = document.getDoctype();
if(doctype != null) {
               String id = doctype.getSystemId();
               if(id == null || id.length() == 0)
                    return;
               transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, id);
               id = doctype.getPublicId();
               if(id == null || id.length() == 0)
                    return;
               transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_PUBLIC, id);
Hope this helps.

Deepak

XML and Air Issues

Hi guys, first time poster so I apologize if this is a basic
question! I am creating a Media cataloging application to run as a
desktop application through Air, I initially built this as a Flex
web app but have decided I want it as a standalone. Anyway my
problem is this, in the web version I was using the following code:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" creationComplete="srv.send()"
xmlns:ns1="com.dougmccune.containers.*"
backgroundGradientAlphas="[1.0, 1.0]"
backgroundGradientColors="[#FFFFFF, #2CE1AC]" width="1281">
<mx:HTTPService id="srv" url="dvdLibrary.xml"/>
<mx:DataGrid x="336" y="57"
dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.dvdList.dvd}" id="dg" width="935"
height="354">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Title"
dataField="title"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Studio"
dataField="studio"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Released"
dataField="releaseDate"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Runtime"
dataField="runtime"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Colour"
dataField="color"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Aspect Ratio"
dataField="aspectRatio"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
The above code uses the XML file to populate the dataGrid
(which I am sure you know already! :) ), however when I port this
to an Air app, it no longer works. I have tried changing the
<mx:HTTPService> tag and attributes to the <mx:XML
source="pathtoXML.xml" id="srv"/> and <mx:Model
source="pathtoXML.xml" id="srv"/> but neither works.
Can anyone shed any light? I also get and error saying
something about creationComplete send() is not a function?
Is there a very different way of achieving this in Air?
Thanks in advance!

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

Using XSLT to link XML and ABAP data

Hi Experts,
I am using XSLT to deal with XML and ABAP data.
I using the following statement to convert a Internal Table to XML String:
CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE root = lt_sflight RESULT XML l_xml_string.
And I get the XML String:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<ROOT>
<SFLIGHT>
</SFLIGHT>
<SFLIGHT>
</SFLIGHT>
</ROOT>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
But What I expected is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<ROOT>
<DATA>
</DATA>
<DATA>
</DATA>
</ROOT>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
Could you tell me how to get my dream format using XSLT?
Best Regards,

Transforming XML/XSLT : CDATA problem

Hi!
I have a problem transforming xml with XSLT using the API javax.xml.
The result is correct until I have a CDATA section in my xml document.
The transforming process encodes all the & < > (special characters) it finds in.
This occurs problem for the follow of my treatement because the content of my CDATA is already encoded.
For example, this xml code :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<article>
<article-contenu><![CDATA[Accent : é Signe : <]]></article-contenu>
</article>
produces in my output :
Accent : &eacute; Signe : &lt;
This is my java code :
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(readerXml);
Source xslSource = new StreamSource( fileXsl );
// Generate the transformer.
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
// Perform the transformation, sending the output to the response.
transformer.transform(xmlSource, new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(sw));
How can I tell the transformer not to do that?
Thanks for your answers!

I am having a similar problem. I have enclosed my text data in my xml file like this:
<![CDATA[<b>Hello World!</b>]]>
My select statement in my XSLT sheet is as follows:
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
I have tried setting xsl:output to text, to html, and to xml. The <, >, and & get converted to xhtml entities.
Where should I begin to troubleshoot? If the Xalan xslt jars? My stylesheet. My xml doc? Java code?
Any feedback welcome.
