Using Elements from an XML File

Background: I am writing a config file for an applicaiton and inside this file on initial setup parameters are supplied. I can get some to work (i.e. directories and such), but when i try to give it the driver name for the database, the Class.forName method fails.
I read out the value from the element:
<sql_driver>"sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"</sql_driver>Then when i try to apply that string to the Class.forName() method I get the following error.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: "sun/jdbc/odbc/JdbcOdbcDriver"I don't understand why it shows up with "/" insead of "."
Any thoughts would be great, I have been working this for a while.
Thanks in advance,
RDE

I have tried it both ways, using the quotes in the xml file and putting the quotes in after I read the String out. I am just really confused as to why the String replaces "." for "/"..... Is there something I am missing?
            String driverName = ReadConfig.sqldriver;
            Class.forName(driverName);
or
            String driverName = '"' + ReadConfig.sqldriver + '"';
            Class.forName(driverName);Thanks

Sliding Flash Interface - Using Links from an XML file Problem

Hi All,
Working on a new site for the company i've recently started
working for... fairly new to flash but wanted to try this sliding
interface for the graphic banner at the top of the page...
have a look here at an early version of the site - sliding
graphic interface at the top with coloured rollover buttons (a lot
of work still to do! feel free to post constructive criticism)
(am I allowed to post links??)
here is the unfinished version with no links in the flash bit
http://www.westfieldhealth.com/website/index.asp
The Problem:
I am pulling in a 'heading' 'text' and 'image' into the
sliding graphic interface from the following xml file... (there are
4 different xml files for 4 different slides)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<content>
<dialogue>
<heading>Interested in selling our health
plans?</heading>
<text>Click here to learn more...</text>
<img>home_window/intSmall.jpg</img>
</dialogue>
</content>
I want to add a link to the xml that would be specific to
each instance of the window...
eg
<link>contact-us/index.asp</link>
But my limited knowledge of flash means I have no idea how to
pull the link through from the xml file to use in the flash...
Perhaps I need link text to pull as well
eg
<link-text>click here to contact us</link-text>
Here is the function that pulls in the img, heading and txt
public function onComplete(event:Event):void {
var loader:URLLoader = event.target as URLLoader;
if (loader != null) {
externalXML = new XML(loader.data);
mover_mc.heading_txt.htmlText =
externalXML.dialogue[0].heading;
mover_mc.myText_txt.htmlText = externalXML.dialogue[0].text;
var url:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(externalXML.dialogue[0].img);
myLoader.load(url);
} else {
trace("loader is not a URLLoader!");
Can anyone help me on how to pull in the link from the xml
and use it to navigate to a different page on the site
Thanks very much
Hans
link to
my unfinished flash file...

What is the exact error you get (what db version also), could you post a simplified version of the SQL which fails also? I have splitter based maps that successfully read from file via the XMLType(bfilename....) style code and insert into multiple targets, I did this on 11g though.

Using HTTPService to import data from a XML file

Hello there!
I'm having some problem's with this import... If anyone can
help, I would appreciate it!
I'm using this type of information as data source:
public var dataCollection:ArrayCollection =
new ArrayCollection([
{ id: "P1", name: "Porto", type: "team", children: [
{ id: "R1", name: "Dr Silva", location: "Bloco 1", type:
"member" },
{ id: "R2", name: "Dra Neto", location: "Gabinete", type:
"member"
{ id: "P2", name: "Braga", type: "team", children: [
{ id: "R3", name: "Dr Santos", location: "Bloco 2", type:
"member" },
{ id: "R4", name: "Dra Sonia", location: "Piso 1", type:
"member"
But I want to import it from a XML file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<items>
<item id="P1" name="Porto" type="team">
<children id="R1" name="Dr Silva" location="Bloco 1"
type="member" />
<children id="R2" name="Dra Neto" location="Gabinete"
type="member" />
</item>
<item id="P2" name="Braga" type="team">
<children id="R3" name="Dr Santos" location="Bloco 2"
type="member" />
<children id="R4" name="Dra Sonia" location="Piso 1"
type="member" />
</item>
</items>
I already import the file, but can not translate the data
into a array collection.
private function initApp():void {
var httpService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
httpService.url = "dataprovider.xml";
httpService.resultFormat = "e4x";
httpService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,
onFaultHttpService);
httpService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,
onResultHttpService);
httpService.send();
private function onFaultHttpService(e:FaultEvent):void
Alert.show("Error reading data file.");
private function onResultHttpService(e:ResultEvent):void
//Convert the xml data to a array collection
Thank you

Hello Peter, and thank you for your reply's.
My problem is that I'm receiving the data from the external
file and I don't know how to get the children in place... I mean, I
also have some data being received form a file that I can convert
into an array collection, but the thing is, that file doesn't have
children structure...
It's something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<items>
<item id="T1" resourceId="R1" name="Cardiologia"
startTime="25-3-09 8:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 8:30:0" />
<item id="T2" resourceId="R2" name="Raio-X"
startTime="25-3-09 9:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 9:15:0" />
<item id="T3" resourceId="R3" name="Analises"
startTime="25-3-09 12:0:0" endTime="25-3-09 12:45:0" />
<item id="T4" resourceId="R4" name="Consulta"
startTime="26-3-09 8:0:0" endTime="26-3-09 9:0:0" />
</items>
And I solve it with this (don't know if is the best):
private function onResultHttpServiceTask(e:ResultEvent):void
var a:Array = xmlListToObjectArray(e.result.item);
tasks = new ArrayCollection(a);
protected function
xmlListToObjectArray(xmlList:XMLList):Array
var a:Array = new Array();
for each(var xml:XML in xmlList)
var attributes:XMLList = xml.attributes();
var o:Object = new Object();
for each (var attribute:XML in attributes)
var nodeName:String = attribute.name().toString();
var value:*;
value = attribute.toString();
o[nodeName] = value;
a.push(new ObjectProxy(o));
return a;
But when the children "enter in action" I don't know how to
bring them to the array...
This code you send it's preaty much the thing I need, but the
thing is that I don't know how to call the children with data as
e:ResultEvent...
If you can help a bit more, I would really appreciate...
Thank You

Error loading data from an XML file using HTTPService

Hello All,
I have a runtime error that has got me beat at the moment I am building an App in Flash Builder 4 to run on AIR.
The error is as follows: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
What i'm Trying to Do:
I have 2 DropDownList controls, the first is populated with country names and the other with language options. All the 1st DropDownList control does
is set an image control to display the country flag and enable the 2nd DropDownList.
The 2nd DropDownList sets the langCode variable equal to the chosen language code. I then call the language function and pass it langCode. Using this variable, I build up the string
so that langFilePath will be equal to the XML file (which is "Lang_GBR.xml") location on my desktop and then call the HTTPService.
As soon as the language function is called, the runtime error occurs and highlights the line with btn_LS_mainMenu.label = loadLangService.lastResult.Lang.GlobalTags.btnMenu;
where I try to assign the button label with a new value from the XML file.
I suspect this may be a trivial error but I just can't see it at the moment.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

Don't sure about your XML structure, but for now i see the problem here between this 2 lines of code:
loadLangService.send();
btn_LS_mainMenu.label = loadLangService.lastResult.Lang.GlobalTags.btnMenu;
Think data that your httpService should receive just can't go so fast to populate the lastResult before you call it in the next line
Try adding a result listener to your service before you send it:
loadLangService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, handler);
loadLangService.send();
function handler(event:ResultEvent):void {
     btn_LS_mainMenu.label = loadLangService.lastResult.Lang.GlobalTags.btnMenu;

How-to use Excel for the XML file input?

Hello all,
Following our discussion with Gerhard Steinhuber on the very nice tutorial from Horst Schaude , "How to upload mass data via XML File Input" , I am starting this new discussion.
In the comments section of this previous cited tutorial, Rufat Gadirov explains how to use a generated XML from Eclipse instead of your XSD file as your source in Excel.
However, in spite of all the instructions, I am still facing the same issue in Excel when I try to save my file as XML : "The XML maps in this workbook are not exportable".
What I try to do is to create one or more Sales Orders with multiple Items in it from a XML File Input, using excel to enter data.
The part with the File input is working (if I directly upload my file to the webDAV, it creates a sales order instance with multiple items).
The only missing part is the Excel data input that I cannot make work. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my XML file that I try to use as a source in Excel before inputing data from Excel:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hello Jacques-Antoine,
I suppose that as you have tried to construct a map from the schema, you have taken the elements from the List level down. In this case I also can't export the map.
But if you take the elements from the level MySalesOrderUploaded down, you'll get the exportable map (screenshots)

Need to insert values into a table from a XML file

Hi,
I'm an Oracle 9i/10g DBA with quite a few years experience, but I'm new to XML and dealing with it in database terms. I've been given a project that entails pulling XML values out of a file (or 100's of them) and storing them in the database so that they are searchable by end-users. The project is classified as secret so I'm unable to upload the specific XML or any info relating to the structire of the XML or the table I will use to insert the values into - sorry!! So, I've created an XML file with a similar structure to help people understand my predicament.
The end-users only need to search on a subset of the total amount of columns from the table I'll insert data into, although the XML file has a lot more, so I dont need to store the other values - but I will need to store the name of the XML file (or a pointer to it so I know what XML file a particular set of values belong to) in another column of the table along with its associated values.
I've been using the XMLTABLE function with some degree of success, although I had better succes using the XMLSEQUENCE function. However, I found out this is deprecated in 10g and replaced with XMLTABLE, so I guess it's better if I use this in case we ever need to upgrade to 11g.
The main problem I've been having is that some elements in the XML files have multiple values for the one record when all the other records are the same. In terms of storing this in the database, I guess it would mean inserting multiple rows in the table for each element where the value differs. Here is a dumbed down XML file similar to what I've got along with the other SQL I've used:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
+<House>+
+<Warehouse>+
+<WarehouseId>1</WarehouseId>+

CREATE TABLE xmltest OF XMLTYPE;
INSERT INTO xmltest
VALUES(xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR', 'test.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
Consequently, I need to...
1) Retrieve the results from the XML file for all 3 warehouses where multiple values for the same sub-element are shown as 2 rowsthe result set. (I am guessing there will be 4 rows returned as warehouse sub-2 has 2 different elements for <WarehouseName>.
2) Build a case statement into the query so that regardless of the sub-element name (i.e State or County), it is returned into the 1 column, for instance County.
So, if I run a query similar to the following...
select y.WarehouseId, y.Town, y.County, y.Area
from xmltest x, xmltable('/House/Warehouse' .......
I would like to get results back like this...
ID Town County Area
1 Southlake Texas 25000
2 Poole Dorset 40000
2 Solihull West Midlands 40000
3 Fleet hampshire 10000
Sorry for the non-formatting but I hope this all makessense to someone out there with what I'm trying to do.
I appreciate any help whatsoever because, as i said before, I'm totally new to XML and trying to read the vast amount of information there is out there on XML is all a bit daunting.
Many thanks in advance,
Shaun.

Hi again,

</House>And the XFilehandler package looks like this (I'm just trying to do a simple select only on WarehouseId & WaterAccess for the time being to keep things simple):
create or replace package XFileHandler as
TYPE TRECORD IS RECORD (
    WID     NUMBER(2)
, WACCESS VARCHAR2(5)
type TRecordTable is table of TRecord;
function getRows (p_directory in varchar2, p_filename in varchar2) return TRecordTable pipelined;
end;
create or replace package body XFileHandler is
function getRows (p_directory in varchar2, p_filename in varchar2)
   return TRecordTable pipelined
is
    nb_rec          number := 1;
    tmp_xml        clob;
    tmp_file         clob;
    rec               TRecord;
begin
    DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(TMP_FILE, TRUE);
    tmp_file := dbms_xslprocessor.read2clob(p_directory, p_filename);
    LOOP
      tmp_xml := regexp_substr(tmp_file, '<\?xml[^?]+\?>\s*<([^>]+)>.*?</\1>', 1, nb_rec, 'n');
      exit when length(tmp_xml) = 0;
      --dbms_output.put_line(tmp_rec);
      nb_rec := nb_rec + 1;
    select y.WID, y.WACCESS
    into rec.WID, rec.WACCESS
    from xmltable('/House' passing xmltype(tmp_xml)
                  columns WID NUMBER(2) PATH 'Warehouse/WarehouseId',
                              WACCESS VARCHAR2(5) PATH 'WaterAccess') y;
      pipe row ( rec );
    end loop;
    dbms_lob.freetemporary(tmp_file);
    return;
end;
end;Now, when I run the query:
select * from table(XFileHandler.getRows('XML_DIR', 'XFileHandler_test.xml'));I get the error: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17285], [0x5CFE8DC8], [4], [0x45ABE1C8], [], [], [], []
I had a look in the dump file for anything obvious, but nothing really stands out. Is there anything obvious in my code that I'm missing or something else which you may think could be causing this error, e.g in the regular expression regexp_substr?
Many thanks,
Shaun.

How can I read an XML string that's not from an XML file?

I've got a script I'm trying to setup that communicates over a socket to retrieve different directions from a custom built Java program. The Java program listens to requests from the Adobe scripting engine (in my case it's a Photoshop script) on a socket and immediately responds with the next set of directions. These directions are currently in XML format. The issue I'm having is that I can't parse the XML data since it's entered into a new XML object from a string rather than being read from a file. Even without the socket code, you can see the issue by doing the following:
var xml = new XML("<test><data>hey!</data></test>");
alert(xml.test.data);
alert(xml);
The first alert "should" return "hey!" (without quotes, of course), but it doesn't, while the second alert returns what you would expect it to:
<test>
<data>hey!</data>
</test>
It works fine if read from an XML file, but from a string, like shown above, it just presents an empty alert box when attempting to access "xml.test.data". Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Can it be fixed? Has it been fixed in newer versions (I'm currently using CS4)?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Duh... found my error... I was attempting to access the data by referencing the created "root" element. Since <test> is the very first element tag, it's setup as the root element, which you don't need to reference. Changing the alert to alert(xml.data); fixed it.
Now I just feel dumb, lol...

Loading an xml file from an xml file

I'm trying to load an xml file from an xml file, but I'm
having problems. My first xml file is really simple - it only
contains one attribute with the name of another xml file in it
(eventually I will have multiple xml files in here and run a loop
on them...this is why I want to load an xml file from an xml file).
Currently, with the code below, I can get the main xml file
to load ("main.xml"), but I cannot get the secondary xml files to
load FROM the main.xml.
I want to then take childNode values from the secondary xml
file and use them within my .swf in text boxes and whatnot.
Any guidance? I think I'm going wrong on the line where I'm
saying "i.newxml.load(i.attributes.location);"
- How can I get this to work?

johnypeter:
I tried changing the code inside the loop to use just
"newxml" instead of "i.newxml", and I declared with "var newxml =
new XML();" - was this what you were thinking?
kglad:
The reason I tried to use the loadXML() function in the loop
was so that for each node in my "main.xml" it would load the new
xml file listed - this is a no-no? Do you have any ideas as to what
I could do?
For the for-loop, what should I change in it? I'm not great
with loops so I tried to modify some code from another loop I found
in another forum thread - not the right way to do it here?
Also, what should I trace? The value of the _root.address, or
i.attributes.location? I have created dynamic text boxes on my
stage to see if the correct value from the xml file loads (ie. the
name of the xml file within the xml file) and it does, but now I
don't know how to put that information into ANOTHER loadXML()
function and get the node information from it - does that make
sense???
Below are the examples of the xml files I am using. In the
first one, main.xml, I will have a list of multiple xml files, each
with the same nodes and elements as in the details.xml file
(different values, of course).
This is just to give you an example of what I'm trying to
accomplish - pulling ALL the addresses and phone numbers from
multiple xml files. I cannot manually collect this information, as
it is dynamic, and will be updated in each individual details.xml.
I was hoping to collect the information by simply adding to and
updating ONE xml file - main.xml.
Do you think this can be done? Am I going about it the wrong
way? I'm quite limited in AS knowledge, which is why I'm piecing
together code from other posts!

Draw a picture from a XML file

Hi,
the problem I have is the following.
We have a UI (JNET) where you can create a data model which later on will be analyzied for data conistency. All details of the data model are stored in an XML file. To document what we did we need to create a word report. This word report should also contain a pricure of the data model which should be included automatically. The creation of the report itself is not a problem but I have no idea how I can include the picture of the data model.
Is there a way of drawing/ a picture (jpg, gif, png, etc.) from a XML file using ABAP??
I attached an example of the data model. It is also the target which should be displayed from the XML file.
Thanks for your support.
Best regards,
Niklas

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.I got the solution for my problem.Actually i wanted to delete only a particular element.
The solution to this is after using
Element element = (Element)document.getElementsByTagName("job").item(r-2);
element.getParentNode().removeChild(element);
writeXmlFile(document,"xmlfilename");.

Exception while loading properties from an xml file

Hi all,
I've got a problem while loading properties from an XML file:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredCommentImpl cannot be cast to org.w3c.dom.Element
ERROR - Cannot load properties from the specified file <./conf/login.prop> java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredCommentImpl cannot be cast to org.w3c.dom.Element

     at g2.main.Main.main(Main.java:37)but this code worked before, and I've got the xerces and xercesImpl packages in the classpath, anyone can give me an hint on how to fix the problem?

Here there's the code that instantiates the HRPMProperties object loading the property file:
public class HRPMProperties extends Properties {
     * A reference to myself.
    protected static HRPMProperties mySelf = null;
     * The property file to which load the configuration.
    protected static String propertyFile = "./conf/login.prop";
      * A set of static strings used as keys in the properties file.
     public final static String DATABASE_URL = "database_url";
     public final static String DATABASE_USERNAME = "database_username";
     public final static String DATABASE_PASSWORD = "database_password";
     public final static String REAL_USERNAME = "real_username";
     public final static String REAL_PASSWORD = "real_password";
     public final static String PHANTOM_LOGIN = "login_thru_phantom_user";
     public final static String AUTOCONNECT = "autoconnect";
     public final static String TRANSLATION_FILE = "translation_file";
     * Builds up an empty properties map.
    protected HRPMProperties(){
     super();
     this.reload();
     * Builds up the property map from the specified input file. <B> The file must be in XML format</B>.
     * In case of exception and/or problems reading from the specified file, an empty property map is returned.
     * @param fileName the path and the name of the file with the XML representation of the properties.
    protected HRPMProperties(String fileName){
     super();
     try{
         this.loadFromXML(new FileInputStream(fileName));
     }catch(Exception e){
         Logger.error("Cannot load properties from the specified file <"+fileName+"> " + e);
         e.printStackTrace();
     * Provides an instance of the property class loaded from the default configuration file.
     * @return the property instance
    public static final HRPMProperties getInstance(){
     if( HRPMProperties.mySelf != null )
         return HRPMProperties.mySelf;
     else{
         HRPMProperties.mySelf = new HRPMProperties(HRPMProperties.propertyFile);
         return HRPMProperties.mySelf;
}The constructor is the one triggering the exception, so there's a problem loading the XML property file.

How to save an n-ary tree of nodes to and from an xml file

Hello,
I am trying to represent a n-ary tree of nodes in xml.
More accurately, I am trying to save/instantiate a
tree of nodes to-from an xml file.
How do I represent the parent-child relationships?
Java: (simplified)
class Node {
Arraylist childNodes;
Node parent;
XML:
From what I have been learning about XML,
DTD:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE acd
     <!ELEMENT Node (childNodes, parent)>
     <!ATTLIST Node id ID #REQUIRED>
     <!ELEMENT childNodes (Node*)>
     <!ELEMENT parent (Node?)>
]>
Qs:
1) How do I represent the relationships? What would
normally be a reference in Java, how do I represent in
XML?
2) Do I use ID, IDREF? I have been trying to find some
examples to learn how. i.e. Does the IDREF, ID
automatically become an in-memory reference (or pointer)?
3) Is it preferable to use XML schema?
thanks,

I downloaded XML Spy and used it to correct my earlier schema.
Qs:
In the instance document xml file;
1) How would one display the parent node?
2) If a child has a reference to a parent node as in the schema below, how can one know that the references are the same?
i.e. when the parent node is first declared and when it is referred to by the child.
Perhaps this raises a larger question - how does XML handle recursive references?

Creation of a shipping notification for a PO in EBP from a XML file via XI.

Hi everybody.
We are trying to create a shipping notification for a Purchase Order in Enterprise Buyer from a XML file via XI.
For to do it, we are using DespatchedDeliveryNotification_In message interface (transaction SPROXY).
But when we execute it, the system show us next message:
"An error occured within an XI interface: An exception with the type CX_GDT_CONVERSION occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause Programm: SAPLBBP_BD_MAPPING_SAPXML1; Include: LBBP_BD_MAPPING_SAPXML1F5B; Line: 4"
No more information is available.
Is there any additional transaction to see more information about the error message?
Is there any documentation about this XML file, mandatory fields, examples?
We populated some fields in our XML file, but we do not know if the problem is with mandatory fields, data, program error
I will thank for any information
Thanks in advance.
Raúl Moncada.

Raúl,
This is because of the inbound UOM.
The include LBBP_BD_MAPPING_SAPXML1F5B is in charge of mapping the item Unit Of Mesure (UOM) sent in the ASN XML file (it should be an ISO code).
You can test FM UNIT_OF_MEASURE_ISO_TO_SAP with this inbound ISO code.
PS: you should create an OSS message so the mapping sends back an error message instead of generating an uncatched exception (that generates a dump).

Is there a way to select a certain box of elements from a csv file and read that into LabVIEW?

Hello all, I was wondering if there was a way to select only a certain "box" of elements from a .csv file in LabVIEW? I have LabVIEW 2011 and my main goal is to take two arrays and graph them against each other. I can import the .csv file just fine and separate each row and each column to be its own, but say I have an 8X8 but want to graph the middle 4X5 or something like that. Is there any way to extract an array without starting at the beginning and without ending at the end? Thank you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Szklanam,
as a CSV file is just a TXT file with a different suffix you can read a certain number of lines of that file. So you can limit the number of rows in your resultung array. To limit the number of columns you still have to use ArraySubset, so maybe it's a lot easier to read the full CSV file and pick the interesting spots with ArraySubset...
