Using XML namespaces

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7e6c.html

Can I reference the element only by the tag name without namespace prefix declared?

Can't use XML namespaces in datagrid?

I'm using Flex 3 beta 2. When try to bind a datagrid column
to an XML element with a namespace, it doesn't display any value.
if I try the same XML without a namepace, it works fine. For
example, in the simple code below, binding a column with a
no-namespace XML document as :
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="First"
dataField="firstname"/>
work fine but for the XML case with namespace:
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="First"
dataField="ex::firstname"/>
does not display the value.
The "ex" namespace is declared earlier in the code and I have
no problem accessing the values with other controls like text or
list box. I actually reported this as a bug but was wondering is
anyone has a work around or a similar cse that is working.
many thanks

Here's another example:

Replacing one namespace with another using XML Anonymizer Module

I've following XML message
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Result xmlns:ns0="urn:source_namespace">
   <ns0:Function/>
   <ns0:r/>
</ns0:Result>
but I need to have a little bit different namespace (which do not exist in above message)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Result xmlns:ns0="urn:target_namespace">
   <ns0:Function/>
   <ns0:r/>
</ns0:Result>
Any idea how to archieve this using XML Anonymizer Module?

Hi,
You don't need a UDF to do this. Follow this...
1. Edit the Message Type Result XML Namespace as urn:target_namespace from urn:source_namespace.
2. Save this and activate it.
3. In the Message Mapping go to edit and reload this new Message Type, save the changes and activate it.
This blog How to remove namespaces in Mapping - XI By Sameer Shadab shows you hove to remove the namespace in you case you use the same to change the namespace

XML DB: using default namespace gives different result

In Oracle9i R2 I created an XMLTYPE table based on a XML schema. The schema uses a namespace. When I insert an instance document that has a namespace prefix for every element querying works fine. When I insert an instance document that has the namespace defined as the default namespace, the query returns an empty row for that document. It seems to me that before storing the document the namespaces must be expanded and hence there should be no difference between the two documents and the query should return a value for both rows. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! Below is the script and the results of the queries.

This seems wrong to me. I've filed Bug 2400119 to get this looked into by development.
I'd expect any document with an appropriate qualified name to be found by your XPath expression, irrespective of whether syntactically one of the documents happened to use the default namespace syntax.

The issue which i am facing is it due to the problem with the service.xml (Which i dont think so..), Or is it any thing to do with the XSD file which i am using.
Can any body give me some guide lines for this ????
Thanks in advance.

Any one any thoughts..
I need to find out the solution for this as soon as possible; Not able to proceed further...

How to use portlet:namespace in flex files?

Hi,
Iam developing a portlet whose UI is flex. using MXML and action script.
Portlets require that their UI elements be unique to each portlet, so we use <portlet:namespace> for each ID, vars, functions etc..
My question is how should i use this tag in my UI?
Is this the right place to ask this question, if NO, the please direct me to the right forum.
Thank you,

application-param tag in weblogic-application.xml may be used to define parameters:
webapp.encoding.default
webapp.encoding.usevmdefault
webapp.getrealpath.accept_context_path

What are the benefits of using a namespace, such as 'flow'?

In the past week I started to delved thru several blogs, livedocs and api articles on TLF, and noticed in some XML data to be used in TLF uses a namespace, such as 'flow'. What benefits are there currently and/or in the near future of using them? And is it advisably to have exisiting data to use a namespace?
By the way, this framework gives me goosebumps. Can't wait to start producing some work from it.

The main reason to use a namespace is if you want to use some of your elements, and don't want to have to worry about name collisions. But you can make the tlf namespace (or any other) the default namespace, and then you don't have to use the flow: prefix everywhere.
Glad you're looking forward to writing code on TLF! Let us know how it goes for you.

Issue with XML namespace and Message structure

Hi All,
I am using Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.4. I have SOA web service application one-way messaging wherein I keep receiving messages from the third party. The issue I am facing is with the XML namespaces which conflicts with the third party's message structure. The details are as below.
Our Web-service WSDL*
<schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService"
xmlns:cad="http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService"
xmlns:avl="http://schemas.com/asiapac/cad/datamodel/avl/1.0.0"
xmlns:evn="http://schemas.com/asiapac/cad/datamodel/event/1.0.0"
xmlns:uni="http://schemas.com/asiapac/cad/datamodel/unit/1.0.0"
xmlns:dvt="http://schemas.com/asiapac/cad/datamodel/divert/1.0.0"
xmlns:sui="http://schemas.com/asiapac/cad/datamodel/suppinfo/1.0.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import namespace="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/avl/1.0.0"
schemaLocation="AvlCadSchema.xsd"/>
<import namespace="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/unit/1.0.0"
schemaLocation="UnitCadSchema.xsd"/>
<import namespace="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/event/1.0.0"
schemaLocation="EventCadSchema.xsd"/>
<import namespace="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/divert/1.0.0"
schemaLocation="HewsCadSchema.xsd"/>
<import namespace="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/suppinfo/1.0.0"
schemaLocation="SupplementalInformationCadSchema.xsd"/>
<element name="AvlAuxData" type="avl:AvlAuxData" nillable="true"/>
<element name="AgencyEvent" type="evn:AgencyEvent"/>
<element name="Diversion" type="dvt:HospitalDiversionMessage"/>
<element name="SupplementalInformation" type="sui:SupplementalInformation"/>
<element name="UnitDetail" type="uni:UnitDetail"/>
</schema>
Using SOAP UI tool a HospitalDiversionMessage Request for the above WSDL will look like*
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:real="http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService" xmlns:ns="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/divert/1.0.0">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<*real*:Diversion>
<ns:Action>?</ns:Action>
<ns:Open>?</ns:Open>

<ns:Location>?</ns:Location>
<ns:Type>?</ns:Type>
<ns:SubType>?</ns:SubType>

<ns:ExpiryTimestamp>?</ns:ExpiryTimestamp>

<ns:Comment>?</ns:Comment>

<ns:ItemNumber>?</ns:ItemNumber>

<ns:Notifications>?</ns:Notifications>
<ns:CreatedTerminal>?</ns:CreatedTerminal>

<ns:ClosedTerminal>?</ns:ClosedTerminal>

<ns:ClosedTimestamp>?</ns:ClosedTimestamp>
</real:Diversion>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Now the third party sends a HospitalDiversionMessage in this format_
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns0="http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService" xmlns:ns="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/divert/1.0.0">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns0:Diversion>
<ns0:Action>?</ns0:Action>
<ns0:Open>?</ns0:Open>

<ns0:Location>?</ns0:Location>
<ns0:Type>?</ns0:Type>
<ns0:SubType>?</ns0:SubType>

<ns0:ExpiryTimestamp>?</ns0:ExpiryTimestamp>

<ns0:Comment>?</ns0:Comment>

<ns0:ItemNumber>?</ns0:ItemNumber>

<ns0:Notifications>?</ns0:Notifications>
<ns0:CreatedTerminal>?</ns0:CreatedTerminal>
<ns0:CreatedTimestamp>?</ns0:CreatedTimestamp>

<ns0:ClosedBy>?</ns0:ClosedBy>

<ns0:ClosedComments>?</ns0:ClosedComments>

<ns0:ClosedTerminal>?</ns0:ClosedTerminal>

<ns0:ClosedTimestamp>?</ns0:ClosedTimestamp>
</ns0:Diversion>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Questions*
1) I cannot figure out how the SOAPUI tool or SOA substitutes "real" as the namespace prefix for the WSDL based HospitalDiversionMessage and what I need to do at my end to match the message structure as per what the third party needs.
2) I need ns0 namespace prefix to whole of Diversion xml element. Currently it is "real" at top Diversion element and "ns" for its children
Please suggest, I can attach the other imported XSD if need be.
Thanks

Questions
1) I cannot figure out how the SOAPUI tool or SOA substitutes "real" as the namespace prefix for the WSDL based HospitalDiversionMessage and what I need to do at my end to match the message structure as per what the third party needs.The xml namespace suffixes like real and ns0 are just references used by the XML Parsers. For that matter the "real" can be xyz as well.
You dont need to make any changes as long as the xml namespace suffixes refer to the same namespace.
If you see the first soapUI xml and the third party xml have the same namespace references and hence it is not a problem:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:real="*http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService*" xmlns:ns="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/divert/1.0.0">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<*real*:Diversion>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns0="*http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService*" xmlns:ns="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/divert/1.0.0">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<*ns0*:Diversion>
2) I need ns0 namespace prefix to whole of Diversion xml element. Currently it is "real" at top Diversion element and "ns" for its childrenBased on this, logically both the xmls represent the same xml message. And hence you dont need to make any changes.
Please refer to the basics of xml namespaces using the following links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_namespace
http://zvon.org/comp/r/tut-Namespace.html#Pages~Introduction
Let us know if you still need clarification.
Hope this helps.

XML namespace in xml converted pdf

Hello everyone
I have a problem when converting pdf's in xml. Everytime when I convert a PDF(either with Acrobat or with mailing the file as XML) in XML the date fields always in middle shows the xml namespace xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" . We are using these xml's to transfer data to an accounting software but the software recognizes the xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" as an error and because of that the data couldn't be uploaded. We created the PDF using a xsd scheme made in the accounting software. Is there a way to get rid of xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" showing in the date fields.
I appreciate every possible help

Hi,
It sounds like you have the nillable="true" attribute in you XSD for the date field.
If you XSD looks like;
<xs:element name="Date1" type="xs:date" nillable="true"/>
Then you will get the following when the field Date1 is bound to is left blank.
<Date1 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true"/>
This is the correct behaviour, so I am either not understanding the problem or there is a bug in the accounting software you are using.
Maybe you could try replacing the nullable="true" with a minOccurs="0". This will mean the element will not appear in the XML at all.
Regards
Bruce

Hi,
You can change your external definition to achieve it. just compare the structure of your xsd with some other normal data type xsd and change accordingly.

How to use the namespace with a parser?

I want to use the namespace in my project. For this reason, I use a sample
from
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/sax/7b_pe.html
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/dom/5_ns.html
to test my understanding.
The slideshow2.dtd refer to the definition in 'xhtml.dtd'. Because in these
two files, they all use the 'title' as the element names. To solve these
conflicts, The namespace is used to qualified the one in slideshow2.dtd.
But the parser still complain that the 'title' in slideshow2.dtd is declared
more than once.
I use apache's Xerces.
I want to know if Xereces realy support namespace spec. now, or how to use
the namespace with a parser. Can anyone kindly tell me where to find some
material that demo the use of namespace in Java program.

In SXMB_MONI how do you view an Payload document that uses a namespace

We are creating small XML documents and pushing them through PI 7.1. Everything works perfectly well, but in SXMB_MONI when you try to view the payload, i.e. the XML document, you can't view it with the embedded copy of IE as it uses a namespace and IE doesn't know where the schema associated with that namespace is?
If you open the document in a text or XML editor then you can see the payload without a problem. It is however annoying and confusing to staff when they see nothing in the XML Message View.
This probably isn't a SAP GUI problem per se, as it is using the dreaded IE to display XML, but I still would like to resolve the problem if is possible.
Any suggestions?

The namespace refers to a schema which is a local file as defined by the vendor. IE doesn't know where to find this schema so it can't do anything. The file is perfectly valid as checked by XMLspy using it's validator.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<OpenShipments xmlns="x-schema:OpenShipments.xdr">
     <OpenShipment ProcessStatus="">
          <content goes in here/>
     </OpenShipment>
</OpenShipments>
We can't change the way the namespace is specified that it set by the vendor and we know it works fine in there software. This is a problem with IE which shows nothing, or if forced shows:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and
then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Error opening input file: 'OpenShipments.xdr'. The system cannot locate the
resource specified. Error processing resource ...
The problem is I don't know how to tell IE running within the SAP GUI where the xdr file is. I have the file I just don't know how to connect it to IE.
If I could make the SAP GUI use a proper XML editor by default that would be a lot better as IE is a terrible browser and terrible XML viewer... but that's another story...

</tvns:treeview>

Please help me out .its very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Have you actually been able to get this to work? I tried some of the demos from the MS site and running the html file with the treeview.htc just sends my browser into a state of loading with nothing happening!?!
This is a webcontrols component which is rather MS specific. As for finding the namespace, are you accessing this page locally or remotely? the namespace location, if run from a JSP, will resolve the C: drive to the one the web browser is running in not your server.
If you have your htc file in the same dir as the jsp your running, then putting just "treeview.htc" as the namespace whould be fine or add the context path like so:IMPLEMENTATION="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/treeview.htc"Let me know if you actually get this running without a web server. Otherwise it may be the .Net server that renders the page.

Default xml namespace = v hangs app

This is probably due to my relative inexperience with Flex (using FlashBuilder 4.5 and Flex SDK 3.6) but I've got an app that is acting strangely and I'd like to find out what's wrong.
Briefly, I'm trying to parse some XML (returned from a REST service) and, within a private function, am creating a namespace (call it v). I then use the directive default xml namespace = v. However, upon trying to launch and debug the app it hangs at application startup. The default directive is in a private function (actually a function called only when my HTTP service completes) of a component. Regardless, if I comment out the default directive the application works normally.
Again, this function isn't even CALLED unless I essentially click a button to access the service, so I have absolutely no idea why it appears to be affecting the loading of my app.
I have used Google to search for "Flex default xml namespace hangs app" but have found only one reference (in passing, with no solution offered).
Thanks for any pointers.

I will try at some point but I can't cut down my current app to do it, it's just too large.
However, I did debug the app and I saw what the problem is. My view component, located in (for example) com.xyz.myapp.view, loads several other components, all located in com.xyz.myapp.components. As a result, the Panel component in the View contains (among other directives) xmlns:components="com.xyz.myapp.components.*". Both the namespace variable v and the default xml namespace directive are in a private function in one of the components the main view loads. When I ran the app under the debugger it terminated almost immediately with "Error 1065: variable com.xyz.mypp.components::v is not defined".
That's all I can tell you for now.
Thanks for the reply.

Default xml namespace and attributes

Hi,
I was trying to use default xml namespaces, but came upon something strange.
I got the following piece of xml:
<animal type="sheep" xmlns="http://blabla">
<name>josh</name>
<age>2</age>
</animal>
and the following code
public static var ns:Namespace = new Namespace("http://blabla");
var xml:XML; // xml will be read into this var, not going into details here
public function myfunc():void {
default xml namespace = ns;
trace( xml.animal.@type );
now for some reason, the elements are correctly traversed using the default namespace. But the attribute isn't found. After a bit of debugging, I found that I could only retrieve the attribute when using xml.animal.attribute(new QName("", "type")). Am I doing something wrong here? Why isn't the attribute in the same default namespace as the element?
Kind regards,
Jan

The attribute should be in the element's namespace. If I run this snippet on the timeline, it outputs the correct values.
var xml:XML =
<xml>
<animal type="sheep" xmlns="http://blabla">
<name>josh</name>
<age>2</age>
</animal>
<animal type="cow" xmlns="http://blabla">
<name>jim</name>
<age>2</age>
</animal>
</xml>
var ns:Namespace = new Namespace("http://blabla");
default xml namespace = ns;
trace( xml.animal.@type ); // OUTPUT: sheepcow
