Unflattern in C#: How to parse LV-generated XML in CSharp?

Hello,
it is very easy to flattern an object (e.g. my cluster,...) to XML string in LabView!
And it is also very easy to unflattern this XML string back to the object (to my cluster).
What I want:
1. Flattern Cluster in LabView to XML string
2. Store in SQL Database
3. Read (Unflattern) in C# Application
e.g. my cluster consists of:
1. integer: num1
2. boolean: on
3. array of clusters (bool, int): data1
Question: How to unflattern the XML string in C#?
Thank you verymuch in advance!

I don't know anything about how C# treats XML. However, if you have the XML file that LabVIEW produces, it is "human-readable", so you can print it out and look at it. What does C# expect for its XML? If you don't know, try generating a C# XML file with the same type of data that you used in LabVIEW (using analogous C# constructs). Print that file out, as well.
If everything were the Best in this Best of All Possible Worlds, the two files would be identical. I'm going to guess that they'll be different, but (with luck) the differences will be (a) obvious and (b) "editable", that is, you should be able to make a "LabVIEW-to-C# XML Translator" that will transform the LabVIEW XML file to a form that C# can interpret. Indeed, there may be XML features (analogous to Style Sheets) that will do this for you.
Good Luck.

How can (parse) i use XML file with missing EndTag

hi,
i have an application which writes an "XML file".
another application should read that XML file, build an DOM and
access the nodes with xpath.
my problem. if the first application is not finished there are tags
missing. e.g. </xml>. but the seconds application cannot wait until the first application finishes it task.
if i now read the XML file the parser cannot load it because the end tags are missing.
my question:
how can i deactivate the check or how can i read the XML file and access it via XPath (my application is using at the moment XPath to access the nodes and i dont want to change that)
as parser i am using XERCES

As far as I know, you can't do this - xml must be well formed (this is sort of a bedrock of xml). There may be some work around's, but I'm not aware of any - and they would most likely be hacks.

How to parse a dynamic xml in java

I have to parse a dynamic xml document : the different TheItemNames and the racine are changing . So , can you help me with a code because to parse a xml document you must presents the racine and TheItemNames

My previous post gives me an idea on how to use ArrayList of ArrayList as dynamic 2 dimensional array.
More info bellow
ArrayList rows = new ArrayList()
ArrayList columns_of_row0 = new ArrayList()
rows.insertAt(0) = columns_of_row0;
ArrayList columns_of_row1 = new ArrayList()
rows.insertAt(1) = columns_of_row1;and so on..
You can't use the code exactly or similar way, it would depend on how this array grows in your application.
But this and my previous post should give an idea on how to insert and retrieve elements from ArrayList when
treated as 2 dimensional array.
Hope this helps.

How to parse the result xml string in BPEL

Hi,
This is Ishmayel.v new to BPEL and hava experience in xml parsing, java and webservices.
Now I am getting the XML file as a result string in BEPL.
now I want to parse the XML string and insert into the database... If any one has the idea let me know.
my email id is [email protected]
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Ishmayel.

Your question is not clear.
You have a client applicaton which invokes a BPEL process and receives XML response from BPEL. Then you want to parse this response XML in your client application?
Or you are running a BPEL process which invokes a service and receives an XML response. Then you want to parse this XML response in BPEL before your process can proceed?
I have to assume that you are working with a string and then you want to convert the string into XML, and then parse the XML. If this is the case, then take a look at the ora:parseEscapedXML(contentString) function. You can use this in the expression editor in JDev.

How to Read and Generate XML file from java code.

hi guys,
how to read the xml file (Condition :we know only DTD or Shema only).
How to Generate the new xml file ?(using Shema )
And one more how directly Generate the xml from DB?
Pleas with code or any URL

Using XMLbeans you can generate Java objects from an XSD schema (perhaps DTDs aswell)
Then you can create an instance of the Document object and ask it to write itself.
This will create an XML document complient to the schema.
XMLBeans generates a "type" safe DOM where you can only ever have a structure compilent to you schema.

How to parse the following xml file

Hi
I have an xml file with the following data
Example.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<html><set label="09/07/29" value="1241.90"/>
</html>
How do i retrive the values of the attributes
Example i want the label value 09/07/29
and 1241.90 to be inserted into some temp table.
Appreciate if any one can provide me the solution.
Thanks,

it's more an XQuery question than DB XML one.
Anyway, you can use the following queries to get attributes values:
doc(<your_doc>)/html/set/@label
doc(<your_doc>)/html/set/@valueYou can retrieve both values in a single query, but for this please refer to the XQuery specification.
Or read: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/xml/gsg_xml/java/xquery.html#xqueryintro]

Parsing iTunes generated XML

Hi All-
I'm trying to use an xml file exported from iTunes as the
source of my
datagrid but I'm having trouble getting it to pick up the
data. A sample of
the XML is below. I was trying to use a labelFunction but it
isn't working.
I'm sure it has something to do with the names being stored
in <key></key>
but I am not sure how to get around this. Any help would be
appreciated or
if this has been asked before some ideas of what I can search
on would be
great. I am not sure what exactly this sort of XML structure
is called.
Thanks,

Generating XML content with SAX including schema reference

Hi all, XML newbie question here.
I'm trying to generate an XML document from a certain file format using SAX, but I can't figure out how to get the generated XML document to include a schema reference.
Here's the code, it's taken from posts on this forum, so it should be familiar:
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(out);
        SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance();
        try {
            TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
            Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
            serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
            serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
            hd.setResult(streamResult);
            hd.startDocument();
            AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
            hd.startElement("http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com", "DTR_XML", "DTR_XML", atts);
            hd.endElement("http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com", "DTR_XML", "DTR_XML");
            hd.endDocument();
        } catch (SAXException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }Here's the output I get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<DTR_XML/>
And I'm looking for output like this (I think - basically I have this dtr_xml.xsd located at the root web directory on http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com and I want the generated XML file to reference that schema for validation when parsing):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<DTR_XML xmlns="http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com dtr_xml.xsd"/>

Yes, you've led me along the right track with the attributes stuff. Here's what I've got right now...
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(out);
        SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance();
        try {
            TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
            Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
            serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");
            serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
            hd.setResult(streamResult);
            hd.startDocument();
            AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
            atts.addAttribute("", "xmlns", "xmlns", "CDATA", "http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com");
            atts.addAttribute("", "xsi", "xmlns:xsi", "CDATA", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
            atts.addAttribute("", "schemaLocation", "xsi:schemaLocation", "CDATA", "http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com dtr_xml.xsd");
            hd.startElement("", "DTR_XML", "DTR_XML", atts);
            hd.endElement("", "DTR_XML", "DTR_XML");
            hd.endDocument();
        } catch (SAXException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }This produces the output I wanted earlier...
As for the org.xml.sax.helpers.NamespaceSupport, I can't seem to find any documentation on using it anywhere, and the javadoc is cryptic to me. Maybe it's used internally in SAX for tracking namespaces or something like that.
Another interesting thing to me is that if I use the code you gave:
atts.addAttribute("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", "schemaLocation",
     "xsi:schemaLocation", "CDATA", "http://maul.ddm.apm.bpm.eds.com dtr_xml.xsd");I don't see "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" anywhere in the output. Is SAX ignoring the namespace uri argument? It appears so. The javadoc states that the uri argument is "The Namespace URI, or the empty string if none is available or Namespace processing is not being performed." It would appear that Namespace processing is not being done... but I don't know how to turn it on.

Ampersand character encoding in generated xml

Hi,
I'm generating xml from my relational database tables using XSU. I'm having a problem where my table column contains data with the ampersand symbol as in 'Black & White'. XSU generates my xml but i can't parse the generated xml till i convert the '&' to '&'.
Is there a way to tell XSU to encode these symbols in the generated xml? I would like to avoid storing the encoded data in my relational tables like 'Black & White'.
I'm using the XDK for PL/SQL for Unix 9.2.0.3.0 on Oracle 8.1.7.3.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out with this issue.
Thanks,
Sanjit

I've got the same problem but not only with the & but also with strange characters like
Belgik -> k
Comiti -> i
Its something like {( returns..
Is this a bug or something?
Thanks in advance, Didier

How to parse the output of a JSP?

Hi,
I need to parse the generated contents of a JSP file from within the web application (i.e. another JSP). Any ideas how this might work? It seems that XPath will not parse a file which doesn't end in .xml, and even if it did, I get the feeling it would parse the source file rather than the output.
Cheers,
Catalin

It is a javascript bit taken directly from the XPath example at W3Schools ( [Example Page|http://www.w3schools.com/XPath/xpath_examples.asp], or [Code|http://www.w3schools.com/XPath/tryit.asp?filename=try_xpath_select_pricenodes_text] ).

How to validate generated XML-Document in Memory by XML-Schema?

Hi all!
I have the following problem:
I am generating a Document using the DOM delivered with Xerces 2.6.2.
Before I'll send the generated xml-document through network to another system I have to check with my xml-schema if the document is correct.
In the DOM-FAQ I found an "example" trying to explain how it should work. But with this example the problems begin.
I am creating my document with this method:
     public void createDocument() {
          myDOM = DOMImplementationImpl.getDOMImplementation();
          doc = myDOM.createDocument("", "documentData", null);
          root = doc.getDocumentElement();
          root.setAttribute(
               "xmlns:xsi",
               "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
          //          root.setAttribute("xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation", "myScheme.xsd");
          domConfig = ((DocumentImpl) doc).getDomConfig();
          domConfig.setParameter(
               "schema-location",
               "file:///d:/workspace/XMLProject/WebContent/WEB-INF/myScheme.xsd");
          domConfig.setParameter("error-handler", new EHandler());
          domConfig.setParameter("validate", Boolean.TRUE);
     }In the line getting the domConfig, it is getting differeing to the example: The example is like this:
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.DOMConfiguration;
import org.w3c.dom.ls.LSParser;
Document document = builder.parseURI("data/personal-schema.xml");
DOMConfiguration config = document.getConfig();
config.setParameter("error-handler",new MyErrorHandler());
config.setParameter("validate", Boolean.TRUE);
document.normalizeDocument();They get the DOM-Configuration from the document-Object, but my document-Object has no "getConfig()" and only after type-casting I get a getDomConfig()-Method to get the configuration.
Then I fill my document and call
((DocumentImpl) doc).normalizeDocument();When I run my Application I get the following error:
org.w3c.dom.DOMException: FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED: The parameter schema-location is recognized but the requested value cannot be set.

     at xmlProject.createDocument(Convert.java:63)
     at xmlProject.Convert.main(Convert.java:154)I tried several ways to get the validation without success.
The next question is how I should refer to my xml-schema (which path) and where to place it relative to my jar I will generate, because I will have no webserver I could place it on.
Has anyone any experience with validating a document created and not placed on disc?
I have also another question to SAX: I read, that it is reading a document without saving it in the memory. I think this means that if I am validating it by SAX it will be read once and for parsing it will be read a second time. If I would transfer the document over an tcp-connection, I only have the document once in my inputstream and after validation it would be consumed I think. But what can I parse then? Or did I missed a detail with the function of the SAX?
Thank you for your help!
Yours
