Using XML to generate site structure

Well. I'll describe my problem in brief.
I want to generate XML in my servlets and then perform XSL-transformation. This allows me to separate data from the representation. For example:
<menu>
<item name="Home">http://nome.com</item>
</menu>and then I'll create a stylesheet that will generate proper left column with beautiful menu. The idea seems to be beautiful and probably is not a new one. I don't know if there some similar solutions. I'm interesting in a XML-dictionary and XSL stylesheets. Of course, I can make my own dictionary and stylesheet, but may be there are some powerful examples?

It is possible to use an xml document to build a
graphic. The web3d.org is working on that project.
As VRML Viewer can view and edit vrml 3D file, a well-designed Java3Dviewer can visualize the scene defined in a XML file.
The plug-in allows programs to run inside web browser, if you design a Java program to view 3D data defined in a XML file, users can run this program in their desktop with Java plug-in.
So research Java3d API and do it.

Using XML to generate 3-d??? Help is needed.

if anyone can help I will be very grateful.
Is it possible to use an xml document to build a graphic, however, I don't mean a graph.
for an example if I had an xml doc that specified x,y and z points for a number of (for arguments sake) spheres, I would like to be able to plot these co-ordinates when the xml is loaded.
I have looked into this a little with the xml object in macromedia flash but don't thing the plug-in can handle it. I am new to Java so please be gentle..
cheers

Generic Populating the XML document using Java Class Generator and Reflection

I am looking for a generic source code in order to convert the data parsed from any tabular text form ( tab delimited for example that maps certain XML Schema created form Database Schema for Oracle.
I know it is possible to generate XML DTD or XSD from Oracle database table schema by XSU utility from XDK. And also it is possible to create Java source files from an XML DTD or XSD by using XML Clas Generator.
I believe there must be some generic code that parses tabular text data and converts them to XML format using above mentioned generated Java source files and may be Java reflection mechanism.
If anyone has any tool or knows any free ware that helps me, I would like to know about it, and I would really appreciate it.

1. Read the XML file into a DMO object, walk the DOM to find the list, insert your new entry as a child, write the DOM back to a file.
2. If the XML is not in a file, but in a string, then you can do the same with string input and output.

Designing the structure of jsp pages using xml

how can i design the structure of the jsp using xml file?

The structure of the JSP? I don't know what that means. Perhaps you can explain why you thought using XML for that would be a good idea, that might help us comprehend the question.

Generating multi-level XML in Oracle 8i using XML-SQL utility

Oracle 8i has a limitation when it comes to the object types. Only one-level nesting of collection is allowed. Oracle 9i apparently removes this limitation.
I am trying to generate XML for a hierarchical (conceptually) structure. To do that I am using XML-SQL utility (XSU) running agains an object view build on top of the relational data. The problem is the limit to onelevels of colelction nesting. Oracle 8i gives you a way to create a view with more levels of nesting by using references (REF). The problem is that when XSU runs agains a view with the references, it inserts the references into the XML document (instead of dereferencing them).
Is there a way to generate XML with Oracle 8i with more than two levels of collection nesting?
Thank you.

Using other site structure storage instead on index.portal

Hi.
The question is quite simple. All data about WebLogic portal structure is stored in index.portal XML file. Are there any ways to move data storage from this XML to database, actually to force portal to retrive data about site structure and portlets on pages from database?
Thanks for all responces.

.portal file. A streaming desktop is stored in the database so that it can be
modified and changed at runtime.

Using XML-based object structures to represent data in code/at run-time

Hello,
I have quite a "high level" question which has be bothering me for some time, and I haven't found the subject tackled in any books. I believe J2SE/J2EE is not an important divide here.
Lets say I want to develop a J2SE game application with two programs: a "level designer", and a "level viewer", and I want to store the level files in an XML format.
My question, and I use this example only to try and illustrate it, is:
when coding the level designer or viewer, is it reasonable to use an XML-based object hierarchy for representing a level in code/at run-time, i.e. using the standard Java DOM APIs? Or should one (as I would have done before XML came along) develop a set of classes much closer to modelling the real form of a level, and then add a means to convert those objects to/from to XML format?
This second option of course I would use/would have used if I wasn't thinking about XML, but isn't it sometimes easier to just read in an XML file into a DOM representation and just use the data straight out of that structure, rather than go through the bother of parsing the XML into a set of unrelated objects defined by a different family of classes? What shapes your decision here? And if the second option is best, what is the easiest way of converting to/from the XML?
Thank you for any advice.
Greg

Hi Christian,
Can I ask: what about if your domain was quite 'close' to an object/DOM representation of XML?
For instance, what if a game operated by acting out a theatrical script, a spoken conversation, between two characters, perhaps somehow influenced at points by the user, and a particular level was just a different script for the characters.
One could imagine that the object representation of this would in the end be quite similar to how you'd represent XML, i.e. like a tree of nodes, where each node was a line from the script, and some nodes were a decision point where different nodes could be chosen from.
Would you still want to avoid using XML-based classes to represent the underlying 'game', or is there a point where you would 'give it' to the similarity and use existing XML structures directly?
Thank you for any advice

Using XML Components to generate WML Output

Hello
Is there a way to configure the XSL stylesheet in a Portal XML Component so that if the compoment is being called from the Portal Page it shows HTML Output and if it's being called by a WAP Phone it generates WML?

For the purpose you mentioned, you shouldn't use XML component. Rather you should user mobile XML portlet. Basically, if you want to display content in WAP phones, you can use mobileXML portlet available under portal tools in Portlet repository. The XML content which you provide in mobile xml portlet, needs to follow the iAS wireless edition DTD. Then you can put this portlet on a page. Now if the page is accessed from HTML browser, it will transform this content and if it is accessed from WAP phone, it will convert the XML content to WML.
Hoep it helps.
Thanks,

Using xml iView to get data from URL generating rss feeds

hi,
I have a URL
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=USCA1116
from the yahoo weather site.
It opens XML data.
I then created an XML iView in the following way:
In step 3 in XML source; i typed the above URL. Clicked on Next.
In Step 4 for Selected XML translation format I chose MY_RSS_TO_XHTMLB.
When I preview it gives the message : Error while using XML iView, please contact your system administrator.
I have Portal SP14.
So as mentioned before in a forum, I went to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Service Configuration -> Applications -> com.sap.portal.ivs.httpservice-> proxy
and changed "HTTP Proxy Host" to "proxy" and "HTTP Proxy Port" to 8080.
Then to re start I right clicked com.sap.portal.ivs.httpservice, went to Administrate and restarted the services.
But I still get the same message
Error while using XML iView, please contact your system administrator.
Can you please let me know if these 2 settings are correct.
thx.

Hi,
Could you please let me know if you were able to solve this issue. Inspite of all the suggested configuration we are still getting the same error, as stated by you.
Anyone able to overcome this issue, please reply. Also let me know if we need to consider any specific versions of portal & browser, JRE etc..
Thanks,

How Do You Use XML To Create Image Upload On A WebSite?

Hello,
Could some one please help me understand how to create web image gallery and web video gallery using XML? I have found few xml codes that could be used to do this but I am not so sure how to use them. I want my clients to be able upload images and videos with linking thumbnails to Image and or Videos. Do you think the codes I included in this question will help me achive this goal? And do I need to put all in one and in the same directory so it will work? Please help with your idea and tell me how you would use these codes and how you may step-by-step implement the idea your self to your own web site.
I have also included the instruction I found on the web with the codes.
Starting with You Tube, API on their video gallery, here are the codes I found,
Assume you are to use the YouTube, XML code; What will you change here so it will work on your own www.domain.com?
<% Dim xml, xhr, ns, YouTubeID, TrimmedID, GetJpeg, GetJpeg2, GetJpeg3, thumbnailUrl, xmlList, nodeList, TrimmedThumbnailUrl Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument")
xml.async = False
xml.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True
xml.Load("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Shuggy23/favorites?orderby=updated") If xml.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
    Response.Write xml.parseError.reason End If Set xmlList = xml.getElementsByTagName("entry") Set nodeList = xml.SelectNodes("//media:thumbnail") For Each xmlItem In xmlList
    YouTubeID = xmlItem.getElementsByTagName("id")(0).Text
    TrimmedID = Replace(YouTubeID, "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/", "")
    For Each xmlItem2 In nodeList
        thumbnailUrl = xmlItem2.getAttribute("url")
        Response.Write thumbnailUrl & "<br />"
    Next     Next
%>
For the image gallery, the following are the codes I found with your experience do I need to use the entire codes or just some of them that I should use?
CODE #01Converting Database queries to XML
Using XML as data sources presumes the existence of XML. Often, it is easier to have the server create the XML from a database on the fly. Below are some scripts for common server models that do such a thing.
These are starting points. They will need to be customized for your particular scenario.
All these scripts will export the data from a database table with this structure:
ID: integer, primary key, autoincrement
AlbumName: text(255)
ImagePath: text(255)
ImageDescription: text(2000)
UploadDate: datetime
The output of the manual scripts will look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<images>
     <image>
          <ID>1</ID>
          <album><![CDATA[ Family ]]></album>
          <path><![CDATA[ /family/us.jpg ]]></path>
          <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
          <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-20 10:20:00 ]]></date>
     </image>
     <image>
          <ID>2</ID>
          <album><![CDATA[ Work ]]></album>
          <path><![CDATA[ /work/coleagues.jpg ]]></path>
          <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
          <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-21 12:34:00 ]]></date>
     </image>
</images>
These are all wrapped in CDATA because it is will work with all data types. They can be removed if you know you don't want them.
Note: If using the column auto-generating versions, ensure that all the column types are text. Some databases have data type options like 'binary', that can't be converted to text. This will cause the script to fail.

OK, I understand - thanks for that.
I thought the whole process was supposed to be a bit more seemless? Having to upload/download documents and manually keep them in sync will leave a lot of room for errors.
It's kinda painful the way iOS doesn't have folders. It makes things incompatible with the Mac and means you can't group files from multiple apps into a single project - who organises their digital life by the apps they use?
I think I'll recommend they use their iPad only.
Thanks for that.
Cheers

Simple Transformation from Adobe Form XML document to Dictionary structures

I have an XML document that I am receiving via email (the XML document is generated from an Adobe Interactive form). I would like to write a simple transformation that will map that XML document to a structure and internal table in my ABAP program. I am new to Simple Transformations and I am having trouble working out how to write a simple transformation for this type of XML document. I would prefer to write a custom transformation rather than using the identity transformation (ID). I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Please refer to the below for an example of the XML file.
This maps directly to 2 dictionary structures that exist within our system containing all of the same components. PIM_REQUEST_HDR has a corresponding SAP dictionary structure Y_REQUEST_HDR and PIM_REQUEST_ITEMS has a corresponding SAP dictionary structure Y_REQUEST_ITEMS.
Can anyone help with some instructions or examples of how to create the simple transformation?
Thanks for your help! We are using ECC 6.0

I have solved this one with the help of another collegue.
To simplify, we changed the XML to be as follows:
[code]

</data>
[/code]
This maps directly to 1 dictionary structure that exists within our system containing all of the same components. PIM_REQUEST has a corresponding SAP dictionary structure Y_REQUEST_HDR which is a deep structure and has within it a structure REQ_HDR and a table KEY_DETAILS.
The corresponding simple transformation we have then used is as follws:
[code]
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="root"/>
<tt:template>
    <data>
      <PIM_REQUEST>
        <tt:copy ref="root"/>
      </PIM_REQUEST>
    </data>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
[/code]
Alternatively the following 2 options also work:
Option 2:
[code]
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="root"/>
<tt:template>
    <data>
      <PIM_REQUEST>
        <REQ_HDR>
          <tt:copy ref="root.REQ_HDR"/>
        </REQ_HDR>
        <KEY_DETAILS>
          <tt:loop name="KEY_DETAILS" ref="root.KEY_DETAILS">

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.

Building the site structure for a dynamic website with JSF

Hi,
I am still a JSF-beginner.
I try to build a fully-functional base-demo-application with a fix and a dynamic part.
Fix part for menu, dynamic part for site-content.
At the moment, the JSF-hyperlinks of the main menu work, but any JSF-parts in the included documents of the dynamic part are not shown. I guess, this is dued to inclusion of subviews, but I cannot find any similar examples in the web to come one step further.
Here my complete demo:

Who can name me that code positions responsible for that the JSF link in the dynamic part is not shown?
It is not that it does not work it is not shown. The JSF tree seems to be cut because of wrong use of view and subview etc.
(To put view tags in site1.jsp and site2.jsp does not help.)
(Once having afforded an example it should go... (*Then* with JSTL, external CSS, etc. ;) )
Dynamical site structure with include files is the big problem at the moment.)
bye, Maik

I found your following suggestions for such cases (seems you are the only profound JSF freak in the world...? :-) )
Switch between subviews in one main page
http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/01/dynamic-jsf-subviews.html
But the main problem for me is that I never find complete examples, but always fragments and it would be important for a beginner to have at least once a complete JSF example over a few subviews, especially here where it is very easy to corrupt the internal tree.
(Some examples use the subview tags in the calling JSP, some in the called e.g.... Does not matter where to put it? Some use verbatim tags for HTML code outside JSF, some don't... and so on)
Can anyone give me an URL for a complete example of a JSF site (with all files as possible, I am not very patient, too, but in this case it makes sense to have it entire ;-) ) with dynamic switches of subviews as preferentially used for bigger portal sites?
