Unable to receive special characters in XML using UTL_HTTP request from Other application

Hi Team,
We are using SOAP request in Oracle Application to Pull XML data from Other application.I am using below commands before receving response but still i am unable to receive special charcters/Spanish Charcters in XML.
utl_http.set_body_charset(v_http_req, 'UTF-8');
utl_http.set_header (v_http_req, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml');
Thanks and Regards,
Raghul

Hello,
Just when you think that you know everything, it is slammed in your face that you don't. The .Mac member name field in the System Preferences DOES NOT take your whole e-mail address. It only takes your user name or whatever comes BEFORE the "@" symbol. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my MacBook Pro (other than ther brain dead user).
Sorry for wasting your time...
If we learn from our mistakes, then I obtained my PhD years ago,

Handling special characters in XML

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10g 'XMLType' datatype to store XML files. Before storing I parse the XML document using Java Xerces Parser. If it parses successfuly, then I perform some business rule execution based on XML file which was parsed. So till this stage there is no problems. But when XML file contains some special characters like copy-paste of some description from MS-Word document into XML tags, then Xerces parser will parse such characters with out any exceptions, but while inserting XML document, Oracle database just throws exception saying unable to handle special characters.. So how to avoid such exceptions or silent such exceptions with any specific settings respect to XMLType datatype in 10g DB.
Please advice!

Monica--
In XI 2.0, we've noticed a number of issues processing special characters, primarily caused by the version of JCO that we're running. It sounds like SAP has spent some time in the past few months focusing on these errors, so make sure you're on the most recent patchlevels of all your middleware components, including any of the middleware libraries that BC uses. In XI, we had to update the 3 files that make up the RFC library and JCO library. SDM couldn't update the libraries for us -- we had to manually move the files to the right place.
Escaped XML characters like "&" """ """ were fixed as of JCO 2.0.10 (the current patchlevel on AIX/UNIX), the special character "'" is fixed in the next release, JCO 2.0.11, due out in a few weeks (hotfixes are available). I don't know the equivalent versions on other platforms. By default, XI 2.0 appears to have shipped with JCO 2.0.5. I would expect many XI 3.0 users to also be affected.
This may or may not apply to BC, because I don't know what BC uses to talk to SAP under the covers.

Special characters in XML barcode content

Hello,
I made a barcoded form with a custom script that creates a custom XML as barcode content.
The decoding happens well when the user write plain text in the text fields, but whenever it inputs some special characters (for XML syntax), like ",<,>,=,etc... the content of barcode it is decoded as:
<barcode>
<!CDATA[... true content ...]>
</barcode>
how can I handle this situation?
I have to handle what the user writes or I have to change the decode activity?
Thank you very much for your support!
Fabio

Steve,
I have already encoded decode operation in UTF-8. In form level, because it is an acrobat form, no option to choose the encoding as in LC Designer. In further tests, if I change the extractToXML output to XDP instead of XFDF, then I will receive data rather than &# sequence. It is strange. Don't understand why XDP and XFDF would give out different encoding.

Run a report in PL/SQL using utl_http.request

Hi
I need to run a report in PL/SQL using utl_http.request
How that can be done ??
Thank you!

Okay, backtrack.
A web server can deliver all kinds of content. From static HTML pages, to XML files and videos and dynamic content. Including reports.
The communication language (protocol) used to talk to a web server is HTTP.
UTL_HTTP is an Oracle PL/SQL library that implements the client side of this communication. It allows the developer to write code that acts like a web browser and communicates with a web server.
Now what do you not understand and cannot use?
HTTP is not simple and easy. You need to understand the basics of this communication language in order to communicate successfully with the web server. Like knowing the difference between GET and PUT and POST commands, how the URL query string works and so on.
Once you know that, you can look at how the web server provides reports. How do you authenticate as a web browser with the web reporting system? What URLs do you use to access which reports? How do you pass name-values to the web server as report parameters? What HTTP response formats (MIME types) does the web report server provide? Which one do you plan to use and how do you parse that response into a meaning structured data format?
If you're thinking it is "easy", think again. Sure, someone here can provide sample code that for example grabs a CSV report file from a web server and (using a pipeline table function), turn that into rows and columns. But that will not teach you the fundamentals you need to know and not equip you with dealing with the problem with your own brains, hands and keyboard.
PS. In other words, learn to crawl and walk before trying to run. Get to grips with how HTTP works before diving into the deep end of web report integration.

Error while using utl_http.request :ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed

Hi.
I'm using 11g
I'm trying to use utl_http.request
I tried select utl_http.request('http://srvab.us.oracle.com') from dual;
and get the below error
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1577
ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out
ORA-06512: at line 1
29273. 00000 - "HTTP request failed"
*Cause: The UTL_HTTP package failed to execute the HTTP request.
*Action: Use get_detailed_sqlerrm to check the detailed error message.
Fix the error and retry the HTTP request.
I have tried the below steps after checking Oracle KM
BEGIN
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL(acl => 'ACL_OPSLOG.xml',
description => 'ACL SRVAP AUTOSR PURPOSES',
principal => 'username',
is_grant => true,

COMMIT;
END;
BEGIN
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL (
acl => 'ACL_OPSLOG.xml',
host => '*.us.oracle.com',
lower_port => null,
upper_port => null);
COMMIT;
END;
But still no luck.Please assist
Thanks
Archana

According to the exception, the error is not ACL related, but network related.
Basic test. Connect to the Oracle server using a console (e.g. ssh or telnet into the server). On that server, test the network connectivity to the web server. E.g.
telnet srvab.us.oracle.com 80If this fails, then so will PL/SQL code in that Oracle server.

How to Display PHP Output as Portlet in HTML Region using utl_http.request

I wanted to be able to parse PHP functions to add more functionality to my Page. nothing fantasy, something simple like: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/phpsysinfo-dev/?template=classic
Where the realtime values are retrieved from the OS. this represent some kind of problem to me, I know how to do it from Shell Script, Perl or PHP, but not from PL/SQL.
Based on my experience using Oracle Portal, Portlets, I think we really can make use of the feature used in Portal called Web Clipping. [ This feature basically goes to some Site a retrieve part of the site to show in the current page]. Well the PL/SQL utility utl_http.request does something similar.
Make sure your request page does not retrieve some headers because that would cause a problem in your page and will not show up.
This is what I did:
 1.- Grant Privileges to execute [ utl_http.request ] to the owner of your schema.
login into the OracleXE / APEX as SYS then go to the Object Navigator, then click on packages, find the utl_http.request then click on it, later click on grant and select your schema owner for your applicaion.
 2.- Logout as SYS then login as your application schema user. just to test the functionality go to the sql command then enter the following command and then click run:
 select substr(utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com/'),1, 255) from dual; 
If your output is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Oracle 10g, Siebel, PeopleSoft | Oracle, The World's Largest Enterprise Software Company</title> <meta name="title" content="Enterprise Applications | Database | Fusio
 Wow It worked , this really could be useful !!, If not go back to step 1 and check your permissions to execute, or perhaps your Internet connectivity.
3.- Once we know the package works and we can retrieve content from the Internet. lets go to some of our pages add some HTML Region.
4.- Create an item and put into the new region. the source will be SQL, For the purposes of my test the query to the Oracle Page failed, so I decided to give a shot with a simple PHP script with no headers.
The internal server is: http://mytest.com/hello_world.php
Where the content of the hello_world.php is:
<?
echo '" Hello World ";
?>
This PHP works fine and display the basic Hello World. can be the same server or not, also noticed this can be another port perhaps using something like Ruby,Mason or Java.
 5.- Finally in my Item the source type is SQL and looks like this:
 select substr(utl_http.request('http://mytest.com/hello_world.php'),1, 255) from dual; 
Apply the changes and run the page !!!
Excelent It worked as expected. now you know how use utl_http.request to create webclipping in your OracleXE / APEX from remote pages, or how to use it to parse the output from CGI, Perl, PHP, Ruby or Java pages.
Note: [ Just make sure to strip the headers or parse into a PL/SQL Procedure to clean then show ]

Sorry, from your post in the LabVIEW board I did not understand that it was the Output message that you were looking for.
I thought you wanted the results from your test steps displayed on the user interface.
It is the “Output Panel” in the sequence editor that displays your output message, but I do not know if there is default Output panel activeX indicator for user interface that the TestStand engine would update automatically like it does the execution view.
Maybe someone else knows
As also pointed out, the UI messages is your other option.
The Output Message event number is 40
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3879
UIMsg_OutputMessages–(Value: 40) TestStand sends this message at periodic intervals when it holds references to output messages that calls to the OutputMessage.Post method queue. TestStand transfers the queued messages to an OutputMessages collection attached to the UIMessage.ActiveXData property for this event. An application that processes output messages should copy the output message references from the collection in UIMessage.ActiveXData to its own private OutputMessages collection by passing its private collection to the OutputMessages.CopyMessagesToCollection method. An application calls the Engine.NewOutputMessages method to create a private OutputMessage collection. TestStand generates this event only if the Engine.OutputMessagesEnabled property is True. Because there can be more than one handler for this event, the application should not modify the OutputMessages collection the UIMessage.ActiveXData property holds.

Using iphoto photos in other applications

please don't laugh - i am new to mac. all i want to do is send some of my photos thru e-mail (sbcglobal.net) and use them in photoshop or photo works. when i go to applications and pictures i photo and photo booth come up but the i photo is not usable. i have the newest and latest, this is quite confusing.

Hi pazach,
iPhoto's database is not meant to be navigated to by other applications (or by you). This is a safety precaution so that you or another application will not move, change anything in it's database causing damage that would prevent iPhoto from opening the iPhoto Library.
You can easily email photos from within iPhoto. Select the photos or photo and click the "Email" button on the bottom right of your screen. You can also go to Share>email in the menu bar. Doing this within iPhoto makes it easy to find the photo to email because you can see them all in front of you. It is also better because iPhoto gives you sizing options for the photos to send in the email.
You can also set up PS to be the default editor in iPhoto's Preferences. This way when you want to edit a photo in iPhoto, PS will open. In order to have iPhoto reflect the edits you must save the photo not "save as" and the photo must be saved with the same file extension.
I know it can be quite confusing for you.
You can find answers to your questions by opening iPhoto and clicking on Help in the menu bar at the top of your screen.
That said, there is a way to get to the database from other applications or to find a photo to mail. You have to remember that you must not move anything, change any file names, change any folder names, or save any edited files back into the iPhoto Library folder.
Navigate to your iPhoto Library folder whose path is ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library
Control click on the iPhoto Library file and scroll to "show package contents"
In the new window that opens find the "Originals" folder.
Control click on the Originals folder and scroll to "make alias"
Drag the Originals alias folder to your desktop.
When you need to find a photo, navigate to the Originals alias folder on your desktop. Do not change, move , delete, etc. anything in this folder.
If you use PS or Photo works to open any photos in that folder, make sure you "save as" any edits to your desktop. Remember that these edits will not be reflected in iPhoto, so you must import those photos back into iPhoto if you want to use them there. This is why it is really better to work within iPhoto setting up PS as the external editor if you want your edits to be reflected within iPhoto.

Access resource from other application using JAAS

i use JAAS for autenticate and autorizate in my web application, but i need access a resource from the other application , but this application don�t use JAAS.
How can i acces this resource from other application?
i know need send the parameters JSESSIONID, but , always redirecto the login page.
thank you for your help

your signon url is consists of the following url http://server.domain.com:port/site/signon.html
Can you ping server.domain.com from your client?
If you can ping it, then make sure your port is added as a rule in the firewall of the server.
Also make sure that the proxy setting of the client have an exception to server.domain.com.
If you cannot ping it, make sure the server and the client are conneted to the same network and make sure the hosts file on the client reflects the ipaddress and the hostname of the server.

Using Acrobat fonts in other applications like Word?

I tried to read the EULA for Acrobat XI Standard and got nowhere. I have a volume license. My question is, are we allowed to use Acrobat fonts, such as Myriad Pro, in Microsoft Word, for example? Am I permitted to install this font family in Windows Font library for use in other apps if I have Acrobat XI installed on the same machine? If I am allowed, great! If not, how else would I be able to get this font family, especially under volume license? Thanks!
Regards,

Hi John ,
If you have downloaded the specific set of fonts ,you are allowed to use those for various other applications as well .As you are saying you own a volume license you can comfortably use them for other applications.
Let us know if you need further assistance.
Stay well.

I have a MacBook Pro with mountain Lion, I was wondering if I could use dictation or any other application to have a voice password.

I have a MacBook Pro with mountain Lion, I was wondering if I could use dictation or any other application to have a voice password.

I'm not aware of any application that will allow this. Most applications won't launch until after you login (which would include any utility that could do this). I'm not sure how much use there would be for something like this. For obvious reasons, a spoken password isn't particularly secure. I would imagine a blind person using a computer would still be able to manually enter a password. I would make sense for folks with other types of disabilities I suppose... so long as there isn't anyone around whenever they use their password.

PDS - XML format, unable to read special characters in a string.

Hi All,
I've been using XML files to create my report with Oracle9i's new featue of PDS.
Now, I'm unable to read a file if it contains '&' or '<' in the string. In fact, the xml file itself not able to crate a xml page in the browser, if these special characters are present.
Is there any way to solve this problem ?
I can't tell the users to remove &, < from the description data. Is there any way to workaround for this ?
Thanks in advance,
Satya.

Hi Rohit and Rajesh
Thanks for your reply.
In fact, my problem is like this:
I'll get data in .txt file and save that as a .xml file in the network before calling Oracle report ,which gets data from the .xml.
The contents are like this:
<Comapy name> Ford Motors UK & Europe</Company name>
<Department> HR & Pensions</Depatrment>
<Salary>Grad4 < 25000 </Salary>
As per XML entity character representation, I need to replace '&' with '&' and '<' with '<lt;'
I'm wondering is there any other way to solve this problem as it is difficult to replace '<' and '>' generically.
Honestly, I couldn't understand what Mr. Rajesh was trying to tell.
'for & use & ( with semicolon at the end)'
'for < use <'
'for > use >'
Can you shed some light on this ?
Many thanks
Satya.

Special characters in XML structure when prepared using String

Hi,
 I am preparing an XML structure using 'String'. I print the prepared XML structure in the server log. Issue is that I am seeing extra characters([[ and ]]) that I am not printing.
Please let me know how to get rid of those.
Code Excerpt
 String xmlHeader = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>";
 String lsb_xmlcon = xmlHeader;
 logger.info("ReqXMLString Process 1 --->" + lsb_xmlcon);
 lsb_xmlcon = lsb_xmlcon +("\n");
 logger.info("ReqXMLString Process 1.1 --->" + lsb_xmlcon);
 lsb_xmlcon = lsb_xmlcon +("<REQUEST>");
 lsb_xmlcon = lsb_xmlcon +("\n");
 logger.info("ReqXMLString Process 1.2 --->" + lsb_xmlcon);
Log
ReqXMLString Process 1 ---><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
ReqXMLString Process 1.1 ---><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>[[
ReqXMLString Process 1.2 ---><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>[[
<REQUEST>
Thanks,

This issue is observed only while running the code in server, not from Jdev.
When we append the additional tags without new line character, "\n", there are no extra characters being added. Also, in other case also. where we used "Marshaller" to prepare the XML, we have seen this issue.
After we set the below property to false, we got rid of the extra characters.
 jaxbMarshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, false);
Apparently the insertion of new line when the code runs on server(Weblogic 10.3.6.0) is creating the issue.
Please let me know if anyone has come across a similar scenario.
Thanks,

I am building this XML in a servlet so ,right, DOM does process XML (even though a valid HTML file can be loaded into a DOM object) but if you build XML using DOM then write the XML out using PrintWriter and Transformer objects this will cause the XML to print out in your browser. If you view source on this XML you will see that the DOM object has translated all special characters to there &xxxx; equivalent. For a example: when the string (I know "cool" java) gets loaded into a attribute using the DOM object then wrote back out it looks like (I know &xxx;cool&xxx; java) if you view the source in your browser. This is what it should do, but the DOM object is not change the � to the "&xxxxx;". This servlet is acting as a gateway between a Java API and a windows asp. The asp will call the servlet expecting to get XML back and load it directly into a DOM object. When the windows DOM object gets the xml that I am returning in this servlet is throws a exception "invalid character" because the � was not translated to &xxxx; like the other characters were. According to the book HTML 4 in 24 hours (and other references) the eacute; or #233; are how you say "�" in HTML or XML. How do you say it?

Special characters in XML built using the DOM object

I am using the DOM object to build xml but I am having problems with special characters. I have a Element object that I create attributes in. Most special characters like the &, ", or ' are translated for me (amp; quot;, acute; put a & in front of those, if I do it here the browser will translate them into the logical character) but I am having a problem with the � character. The DOM object does not translate this. If I do it my self to(eacute; same here add a & in front) before adding the string to the attribute then the DOM object translates it to (amp;eacute; add a & in front of the amp; not in front of the eacute;). As you can see the DOM object translates the & instead of recognizing that it is a HTML character. Can anyone give me a hand?
