Update XML files with Flash

Hi,
I would like to know if its possible to insert or update
existing data of a XML file with flash?
And how can I do it?

This code have two procedures or functions the createXML is
called first this one asks for the variable send using get called
fileName (Append this variable to the page request). The function
called writeToFile opens the file and writes to it.
Form flash you need to create the xmlfile and call the
sendAndLoad method.

Indirectly, I suppose. In that you'd have to handcode
verything. There's
nothing built-in to DW to accomplish this task. The simplest
way of doing it
is to use the FSO to write out the XML to an XML file.

It seems you are asking in wrong forum. AFAIK, you are asking "how to add HTTP header to response generated by my own script". It depend on WWW server we are speaking of and language of script itself. If you will fail to found solution within documentation of the HTTP server and/or scripting language you are using, then the better place for your question is a forum related to such language and HTTP server.
In meantime, you can try other solituin. The "Refresh: 0;..." header is required for correct function of SoftKey:Next which is displayed by default. But you can redefine the content of SoftKey area using your own key. Such configuration is part of DirectoryObject you sent to phone. See definition of SoftKey 3 in example bottom. It's not original SoftKey:Next that depend on Refresh header. It's my own custom soft-key named "Next" with exact URL defined as part of key definition (replace 'N' with number of next page). It doesn't depend on Refresh header in any way. You should consider such advice as "temporary workaround". You should discover how to send HTTP header 'Refresh' from your script. Note, it's not possible to redefine one SoftKey only. If you wish to redefine a soft-key, then all soft-keys need's to be defined by you.

2 Formatting issues with HTML forms

I have a couple of issues that we can't seem to get past with adobe livecycle designer 7.0. We have an internal form, rendered in HTML, that is emailed between departments, and the data entered is stored in an XML file that is created using the code similar to the following:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
ServletException, IOException
oOutput = response.getOutputStream();
try {
FormServerWithXML fsb = new FormServerWithXML();
fsb.processForm(request);
File file = File.createTempFile("Form_", ".tmp", new
File("d:\\xmlFiles"));
BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
out.write(fsb.getXMLString());
out.close();
When we use a numeric field and try to format it with any display pattern containing dollar signs, decimals, etc... the xml data for that field isn't being written to the xml file. All of the other fields are being written properly.
The next issue we're having is that with HTML forms, when we create a multiline text field we are unable to limit the number of characters that are allowed in the field.
I'm pretty new with this, so please send some advice my way if you have any.
Thanks,
Chad

How to update XML file using XSLT

Hi there,
I have a "small" issue with exporting data to an XML file using XSLT.
A two steps process is needed to import data from a non-hierarchical XML file into ABAP, change the data, and then update the XML file with new values. The problem is not trivial, since the format of the XML file is a complex one: there are many interdependent elements on the same level, pointing to each other by using id and ref attributes. Based on these values the data can be read and written into an internal table. I use XSLT and XPath for that. So the inbound process is done and seems to work correctly. I have to mention that the file contains much more data than I need. I am working only with a small part of it.
Now the changed data must be exported back into the XML file, meaning that the content of certain elements must be updated. How can this be done with XSLT? I can pass only the internal table to the transformation, so how do I access the XML file in order to update it? I have tried to use the <B>xsl:document()</B> function to access the content of the file store locally on my PC, but it fails each time by throwing and URI exception. I have tried the absolute path without any addition and the path with the file:/// addition. Same result. Please advise.
Many thanks,
Ferenc
P.S. Please provide me with links only if they are relevant for this very matter. I will not give points for irrelevant postings...

Now the changed data must be exported back into the XML file, meaning that the content of certain elements must be updated. How can this be done with XSLT?
XSLT approach: check these online tutorial
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/08/02/xslt/index.html
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/06/07/transforming/index.html
ABAP approach:
for example you have the xml (original) in a string called say xml_out .
data: l_xml type ref to cl_xml_document ,
        node type ref to if_ixml_node .
create object l_xml.
call method l_xml->parse_string
exporting
    stream = xml_out.
node = l_xml->find_node(
    name   = 'IDENTITY'
   ROOT   = ROOT
l_xml->set_attribute(
    name    = 'Name'
    value   = 'Charles'
    node    = node
(the above example reads the element IDENTITY and sets attribute name/value to the same)
like wise you can add new elements starting from IDENTITY using various methods available in class CL_XML_DOCUMENT
so how do I access the XML file in order to update it?
you have already read this XML into a ABAP variable right?
Sorry couldnt understand your whole process, why do you need to read local XML file?

Open XML file with user default browser and not the default editor.

Hi,
I'm writing a java program that appends numerous XML files together. The result is a NEW well formed XML document. Since i have an XSLT that performs several UI modifications on this xml file, the file extension must remain '.xml'. I need to open this xml file with the users default web browser. The problem is that:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
....opens the xml file with the users default program for opening xml files which in my case is Oxygen. I want to force java to open this xml file with the users default web browser and nothing else.
I guess i need the Windows command to perform the 'open with' feature but i have no idea what that command is or how to find it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Varun Singh

People do not often ask questions (or make challenges or observations) idly for the sake of 'theory'. It is most useful to explain to the best of your ability.
As to
"Since the Desktop class was only released with SE 6 I am forced to find another alternative. "
There is an 'alternative'. You can import it into a 1.5 project. It was available as a free standing API before 1.6 - through JDIC. See [https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html|https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html] for more info.

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
        ID VAL
         1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
        ID VAL
         2 b                                                                    Ants

Combine several XML files with same structure

Hello,
I have several XML files with the same structure and I want to combine them and create a new XML file to be bale to compare that information easily. It does not look very difficult but as I am very new in this I am not bale to get it
The structure of my actual files would be something simlar to:
Root->...-> Name->Address, Telephone
And what I would like to have si something like
Root->.... ->Address-> Name 1,Name 2....
Root -> ...->Telephone-> Name 1, Name 2....
Does anyone know how to do this.
Thanks

You could write a XSL transformation file that does this and transform your input file via
     * Transform XML file with a style sheet.
     * <p><b>Example:</b><p>
<table align="center" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" border=1 cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><pre style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">
XMLTransformer t = new XMLTransformer();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Project/result.html");
String xmlFile = "C:/Project/source.xml";
String styleSheet = "C:/Project/stylesheet.xsl";
t.transform(xmlFile, styleSheet, fos);
</pre></td></tr></table>
     * @param xmlfile The XML file to transform.
     * @param style Stylesheet to use for transformation.
     * @param outputStream OutputStream to write the transformed result to.
    public void transform(String xmlfile, String style, OutputStream outputStream) {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        //factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
        //factory.setValidating(true);
            //todo: use inputstreams instead of file names
            try {
                File stylesheet = new File(style);
                File datafile   = new File(xmlfile);
                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 sr = new StreamResult(outputStream);
            transformer.transform(source, sr);
        } catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {
           // Error generated by the parser
           System.out.println ("\n**XMLTransformerr Factory error");
           System.out.println("   " + tce.getMessage() );
           // Use the contained exception, if any
           Throwable x = tce;
           if (tce.getException() != null) {
               x = tce.getException();
           x.printStackTrace();
        } catch (TransformerException te) {
           // Error generated by the parser
           System.out.println ("\n** Transformation error");
           System.out.println("   " + te.getMessage() );
           // Use the contained exception, if any
           Throwable x = te;
           if (te.getException() != null) {
               x = te.getException();

           // Error generated by this application
           // (or a parser-initialization error)

File Adapter : read XML file with data validation and file rejection ?

Hello,
In order to read a XML file with the file adapter, I have defined a XSD that I have imported to my project.
Now the File Adapter reads the file correctly but it does not give an error when:
- the data types are not valid. Ex: dateTime is expected in a node and a string is provided
- the XML file has invalid attributes.
How can I manage error handling for XML files ?
Should I write my own Java XPath function to validate the file after is processed ? (here is an example for doing this : http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/XML/Q_21058568.html)
Thanks.

one option is to specify validateXML on the partnerlink (that describes the file adapter endpoint) such as shown here
<partnerLinkBinding name="StarLoanService">
<property name="wsdlLocation"> http://<hostname>:9700/orabpel/default/StarLoan/StarLoan?wsdl</property>
<property name="validateXML">true</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>

Need to Merge an Adobe XML file with a normal PDF

The problem...
I have created an order form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer (pre-ES). The customer's requirements force us to merge their purchase order (a flat standard PDF) with the order form I have created to get the complete PDF to bill with. Previously we were using a form created in another software and printing to PDF to merge the 2 PDF files. The thought process with creating a form in LiveCycle Designer was "Oh 2 PDF's we can just merge them" ... we were very WRONG. And please don't suggest "Packaging" the files... it won't work for our processing system... we've already tried .
What we know now (had we known it before we'd have never purchased the licensing for LiveCycle Designer to start with)...
You can NOT merge a PDF that has XML in it with Adobe Proffesional.
Temporary Solution...
We know we can print to PDF and then merge the files... this gets us the result we need, but it takes longer to print to PDF from these XML files than it did from the previous versions of the order forms in created in other software.
Is there another solution?
Plea for help! The users that are forced to do the process of printing to file and merging are ready to riot and/or go back to the "other" software.

Hello!
There are a couple terms you can google:
"PDF Concatenate Forms iText"
"Merge XML data with PDF Forms"
Concatenating PDFs means you join multiple forms together into one PDF.
Did you need to merge, or concatenate the forms?
Either way there are a couple of methods to do this programmably.
iTextSharp (.NET)
iText (Java)
FDFToolkit.net (.NET)
iText products are open source, and have a learning curve, and support is provided on a Open mailing list.
iText products are free ($) but can cost you time and money to research the methods.

Why not use T-SQL for generating XML? You can use FOR XML for that
