URLEncoder and URLDecoder for posting XML Strings

Hi All
I need to post an XML string to another website using POST.
I have some java code that generates the XML string and sets the request object with this parameter. In my JSP I need to assign this to a hidden form element so that when a user clicks on "Submit", the destination site can extract the xml string.
The problem i am facing is that while setting the hidden form element
e.g. <input type=hidden name=xmlstr value= //Set it by reading the parameter from the request object.
only the initial part of the string is picked up i.e. only upto the first double quotes " i.e. upto <?xml version=
I am thinking of using URLEncoding to encode the xml while posting and URLDecoding to decode this xml.
Is there a better way of doing this ?
Thanks
Bits

I think that is the 'correct' thing to do. parameter values must be URLEncoded whether being posted or not.

Error while creating DocumentBuilderFactory object for parsing XML string

When I try to execute the following statement in an EJB class,
DocumentBuilderFactory df=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
I get the following exception:
javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl not found
When the same statement is executed from a standalone java class, it works fine.
The IDE used is Visual Age for Java.
The JAXP package used is JAXP 1.0.1
Can anybody please let me know how can we overcome this problem?
Thanks and Regards,

javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider
org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl not
foundI suspect that this may be due to a classpath issue and/or a Java version issue. Doe your Visual Age installation use Java 1.3? Do you have Sun Java 1.4 also installed on your system? It may be that when you are executing from a standalone Java class, that you are using the Java 1.4 runtime, which include the org.apach.crimson.* classes. Earlier version of Java do not include this, although it may be in the JAXP package.
I think that your Visual Age IDE is configured such that the DocumentBuilderFactory is unable to find the appropriate implementation.
I hope this helps!

Special charecters handling while Converting XML string to DOM

Hi,
I am using the following approach for converting XML string to DOM, but due to Special characters like "&", I am getting Exceptions:
String xmlString;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlString)));
Can anyone please help me out on how to handle the Special characters in the above code.

If the XML doesn't parse, then the XML must be invalid. Show a sample of such a special character in the XML data. Please use \ tags to post the actual XML content and any other code.

Details on data types for posting data to DB2 on AS400 from XI

Hi
We have a scenario in which we post data from XI (3.0, SP23 ) to DB2 on AS400 and we are using jdbc adapters ( jdbc drivers from IBM deployed on XI J2EE server as per SAP's instructions )
On AS400-DB2, there are two files F1 and F2 that we have to update in a particular library L1 - on a server S1. Each of the two files has a single field with the same name as that of the file.
I have the following questions :
1. How do we construct/specify the data type in order to convert XML from XI to the sql that DB2 needs - I do understand there is a standard data type structure used to convert XML to sql calls when we use JDBC receiver adapter type communication channel. Do we use the same for posting XML data from XI to DB2 too ?
2. What is the url for the jdbc driver - to connect to DB2 on AS400 ?
Please share experiences of XI -- > posting to DB2 using JDBC.

Convert XML string into XML

Hi All,
Can you please let me know for any sample code in xslt/java mapping for converting XML string into XML. We use SAP Pi 7.0
My XML string starts like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_ReceiverFileStructure <namespace>"><Output><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-9"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="<xsl>"?><Tarih_Date Tarih="11.09.2014" Date="09/11/2014>
Thanks,
Pavithra

Thanks Praveen. It worked.
However, the xml i have is an extract from a exchange rate URL and it has the reference to a xsl in it as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-9"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="<ABC.xsl>"?>.
So there is an error in sxmb_moni. Is it possible to remove this.

Is there a way to get the actual XML string when using the JAXP SAX Parser?

Hi All,
I am using a JAXP SAX xml parser and am looking for a way to get the actual line of xml that is being parsed from within a content handler.
Here's my scenario. Consider the following example xml document.
<formCollection>
   <form name="myForm">
      <text/>
      <selection/>
   </form>
   <form name="anotherForm">
      <text/>
   </form>
</formCollection>My hope is to validate the entire document and then insert an xml string containing each "form" element (and its sub-elements) into a map for later use. My thought was to create a String as each "form" element is being parsed (begining with the form's startElement event and concatenating until the form's endElement event is reached) and then inserting this string into the map. Is there a way to get the actual line of xml that is being parsed, rather than just the element name and attribute values?

2. The first handler would validate the entire XML document, extract the "type" attribute from each <form> element, and place each <form> element and its sub-elements into the map of Strings, using the "type" attribute as the key. The second handler would take a <form> element and parse it into a Form object for the display. This option was the impetus for my question because it relies on the first handler being able to access the entire <form> element XML String and write it to a map.I don't see why you need the raw data from the XML document here. You should already be abstracting your data into Java classes in the first handler, instead of making the second handler do the parsing all over again.Correct, I am not referring to XForms. In this case, it happens that I am using the XML to generate an SWT ScrolledForm object and, thus, the XML element name happens to be named "form." However, the concept/design problem could apply to any type of object and the XML element could be appropriately renamed.
My experience with XSLT is limited and I haven't done anything with it for several years. With that said, it seems that it is primarily used for generating web content, which wouldn't apply in this case because this is for a client-server application. I could be off base on this one -- if XSLT applies to much broader translations and would be more appropriate for generating Java objects than my current methodology, I could certainly look into it further.
I apologize that option two didn't make more sense; it is difficult to explain. Yes, optimally the data should be abstracted into Java classes in the first handler. This is really an elaboration that I failed to specify when explaining option one. The problem is that the user can choose to create any number of "forms" of any type. For instance, let's say that from the File -> New menu there are options for seven different types of forms and each form is used to send completely different data. The user can select form1, select form1 again, select form4, and select form7 (or any other combination) and bring up tabs that display the different forms. The user can then enter data and submit each form separately. When the user selects File -> New -> FormX, a SWT ScrolledForm object that corresponds with FormX must be given to the display. Because SWT ScrolledForm objects do not allow a deep copy, I cannot simply read the XML <form> elements at initialization, parse them into ScrolledForm objects, and pass deep copies of the ScrolledForm objects to the display each time the user clicks File -> New -> FormX. The only simple way I see of getting a new copy of a ScrolledForm object is to reparse the appropriate XML <form> element in order to create one each time the user selects File -> New -> FormX. As such, one handler would need to read the entire XML document and parse the <form> elements into a map (or some other data structure) and another handler would need to parse individual <form> elements into SWT ScrolledForm objects. The first handler would be called at initialization and the second handler would be called each time a user clicked on File -> New -> FormX. Once again, this isn't exactly my favorite implementation... but seems the simplest given that there is no way to do a deep copy of an SWT ScrolledForm object. Hopefully that makes a little more sense. No worries if it doesn't -- I just figured I'd throw this out there and see if anyone had a better idea.

Does anyone can help me to import XML string into a ORACLE database

Hi guys!
i have some problem that my friend wants me to convert XML string to Oracle relational database which means.
let's say, there is a table that a row has XML string.
so table has XML string with varchar type.
what my friend want me to do is, the string needs to be solved as a relational database.
like
A table has 'ID', 'data', 'result' rows
and Data column has XML string like <?xml version...............>
then wants to convert that data column's XML data into TABLE B with structure normally XML has.
i'm so confused and have no idea at all.. also i couldn't find any solution related to my stuff..
if someone knows how to solve the problem, just let us know
thx

The database is 10.2.0
What sort of example do u want me to give you..
i thought i give all information on the post..
i will explain it
let's say there are 3 columns ID,Name,Code
Id = normal integer
Name= varchar
Code= varchar
and i need to conver that XML in the Code column into relational databases
the code column has normal XML code which is starting from <?xml version.... and so on
so does it explain?
please help me!

Web Services Consumer Transformation does not expand xml string in WSDL

I am trying to create a WebService Consumer transformation with a WSDL file which I have imported in Informatica PowerCenter.The WSDL file has complexType xml strings which are not getting expanded while I am importing the WSDL file, thus it’s not showing the input and output fields in the request and response respectively. I have xsd file definition for these xml strings separately and there is no way I can incorporate them with the main WSDL in PowerCenter. While I looked into the Informatica Documentation I found that in the Developer tool I can create Web Service in Data Services, and incorporate xsd element definition with main WSDL file. But it’s not exactly working in the way its described in the documentation. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello All, I have got a scenario to implement: I have a Character source column which I need to convert to Numeric(18,4) and load into table. My source and target is a Netezza table. If the conversion fails, we do not drop the record, instead insert NULL for those records,i.e. source and target has same number of records. I use an expression as below : DECODE(Input_String, NULL, NULL-- Check for alphabets IIF((UPPER(Input_String) != LOWER(Input_String)), NULL-- Check for special charactersIIF((INSTR(Input_String,',',1) > 0 || INSTR(Input_String,':',1) > 0 || INSTR(Input_String,'@',1) > 0),NULL, TO_DECIMAL(Input_String,4)) ) ) Now my question is, can we use a single INSTR statement and check for all the special characters? I want to avoid writing multiple INSTR statements. Please suggest me how to check multiple characters in a single INSTR statement. Thanks & RegardsBiswajeet.

Creating XML String DOM

Hi ppl,
I need some help with DOM Object. I have a xml file which I parse with dom and when I do some changes in dom object like adding new element or changing the values of existing object and now when I try to transorm the dom object back to a xml string. It puts everything in one line. for example say my xml file is like:-
<student>
<name>john</name>
<result>pass</result>
</student>Now when I add new element <address> to it , change value of existing element and try to get xml string i get something like this
<student><name>smith</name><address>412Miam</address><result>pass</result></student>
Whole xml in one or two lines, instead of proper xml with one element and its value in one line.
Any ideas how to achieve this?

Ddosot,
Thank you very much. I was looking for this from long time.
Honeslty I have searched news group many times but couldnt get an answer, may be my search words were not correct.
you could have saved all this writing by running a
little search on this forum, as this questions is
asked once per day.
anyway, here is your answer:
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT,
"yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/x
lt}indent-amount", "1");

XML String to JavaBean

Hello All,
I used the java.beans.XMLEncoder to transform a java bean to XML string and created the following xml string
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.5.0" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
<object class="test.proj.testTransferObject">
<void property="userLastName">
<string>lastname</string>
</void>
<void property="userLastName">
<string>firstname</string>
</void>
</object>
</java>
Now i want this xml string to be transformed to another Java bean abcproj.abcTransferObject, i tried the following code and it is failing as it could not find the same class :
java.beans.XMLDecoder d = new java.beans.XMLDecoder(new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream(xmlString.getBytes() ));
abcproj.abcTransferObjectresult = d.readObject();
Help is greatly appreciated ...
thanks

i don't think you understand my question. you encoded a "test.proj.testTransferObject", why do you think you can decode it as "abcproj.abcTransferObject"?
like i said above, if you really want to decode as a different object type but with (presumably) similar property structure, you are going to have to muck with the xml.

Process for posting inventory difference

Dear sir,
Can i know the process and transactions for posting differences of inventory in SAP

Hi,
You can Post Inventory Difference through Physical Inventory Count.
Tcode MI01 - Create PI Document
MI04 - Enter Count - This is where you actually enter the Counted Inventory(Stock)
MI07 - Post Inventory Document - The Qty you enter gets posted in the system.
This is for matching the actual Inventory viz a viz the Inventory in the system.
e.g.
You have a material # 100XXXXXX lying in a Plant XXX SLoc YYY and the Qty in system is 100 Nos.
The Actual Physical Stock in Plant XXXX SLoc YYY is 104 Nos.
You would need to match the System Stock with the Actual Stock, and therefore you will Create the PI document, Enter the actual count (104 Nos.) and Post it . The Books are matched with the Physical Stock of that Item.
Check the Stock in Report MB52 or MB5B
Hope this helps,
Amit Bakshi

Logic Pro or Soundtrack Pro for Post Production (In a Pro Tools world)?

Hey guys,
How many of you out there, is using Logic for Post Production (or Soundtrack Pro)? I know a couple of people myself, out there using Logic Pro for Post and absolutely love it. Wanted to see if there are more of you out there and what your experiences have been with Logic Pro in the area of TV, motion picture and video sound. How is it, working in a majority Pro Tools realm? Are you finding it harder to interface with other studios, running Pro Tools?
Message was edited by: Syrcle

I find that Logic is not a substitute for Pro Tools as a post editor DAW. Having been a Logic user since 96' and a ProTools user since 92' , I cannot imagine trying to post something other than music using Logic. Of course, it could be done but, it is a matter of interchange ability and the simple editing found in Pro Tools that is easy for Post applications. Conversely, I would not be tempted to make music in a Pro Tools session,unless it was an all audio scenario without virtual midi plugins.
I love Logic for music and ProTools for post and this comes after years of messing with both in everyday real commercial environments . If you have success using Logic as a good Post audio editorial
device,then enlighten me! But,right now, I wouldn't want to make music without Logic and I would never try to mix a movie on anything else but ProTools because these are the devices I use everyday.

Who uses Logic 8 for Post ?

I have started using it more and more for post & sound design duties particularly since version 8.
Anyone else ?

I do as well. Its alright. I still think i might like protools better but for the price difference and ability to use different equipment you can help but take a serious look at Logic.
