Using xml to load urls

I am a designer working on a flash project that is used to navigate to html pages. The project is a map - when you roll over different states there is an animation making that state pop out and show the state name. When you click each state (Button), it should open an html webpage. Right now the project works great, but I have the url's coded in flash actionscript using "onpress" and "load url." I would like to set it up so the flash file calls the URL for each button from an xml file, so it can be easily edited. The only thing it needs to call is the URL for each button. Can anyone give me simple instructions on how to make that happen?

you'll need to change all the code attached to those buttons so each button has an instance name and you use that name to code for your mouse handler.
and, if you're going to make those changes, you may as well use movieclip buttons and set this up so the next step is easier to accomplish.

Debugging mode stopped automatically when using xml file load

Dear Sir,
I am trying to develop a new add-on using xml files for creating new forms. In fact I was using the sample code delivered with the SDK ( WorkingWithXml - under VB.NET). The Problem is that when I am in the debuging mode and after the form load. the application goes out of the debugging mode and stop action.
In fact what i was trying to do first is to create a new menu and then when i click on this menu a new form appear but once the menu is loaded the application stop the debugging mode automatically.
Can somebody clarify to me what I am doing wrong and why the debugging mode is stopped automatically, noting that i am still in the add-on developpement phase.
As i mentioned above i used the WorkingWithXml sample code (VB.NET) and i have adjusted in a way to load menu and then on the menu click i load my form.
Please advice
Best Regards

Hi Mary,
Put your code between in a Try Catch block. In the Catch part use the following:
oApplication.MessageBox("CompError: " & oCompany.GetLastErrorCode.ToString & ", " & oCompany.GetLastErrorDescription & vbCrLf & "Message: " & ex.Message)
This should give you a clearer idea of what the error is all about.
The most likely reason is that there is something wrong with your XML file.

Using xml to load parameters in a dyn page

hi,
can anyone tell me how to get the parameters from an xml file to a dynpage? where to place the xml file in the portal application project structure?

Hi Divya,
I see 2 possibilities here:
1. put your XML in the "dist" Folder in your PROJECT and access it via URL:
/irj/portalapps/<PROJECT>/XML. You can then use java.net.URL to read the content
2. put your XML in one of your src folders and access it via getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream().
If you need to change parameters during runtime, you could also consider putting the config in the KM and access it via IResource.
Hope that helps. Remember to reward tips ...

Creating schemas using xml data

Hi
I have a situation where I need to create
database schemas dynamically using <xml> data.
Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Radheep

I'm not sure how to write a Web Service, however data can be read from a flat file using XML Data > Load, however the flat file has to be formatted with appropriate XML tags, such as...
<data>
<variable name="Test">
<row><column>1</column><column>2</column></row>
<row><column>10</column></row>
</variable>
</data>
In addition, you have to write a scriptlet that resides on a web server, with which Xcelsius can communicate. Once your data is formatted, it is as simple as referencing the file location in the XML Data URL: field.
Web Service is a very popular solution, and probably better than XML Data in this case due to the large volume of data. If you do a forum search for "Web Service" you'll find many threads regarding its usage.

Button actions using xml

(previously posted in Flash General Discussion by mistake)
Hello,
I have limited experience using xml to load flvs into a video
component, now I need to know how to use xml to assign actions to
buttons within my Flash file. That way their functionality can be
edited on the fly without having to open Flash. Each button will
have a "getURL" command assigned to it. The basic format of my
project is an html site with a Flash banner at the top that
contains buttons for each page. Here's the site I'm working on:
www.ihstrategies.com
the design/layout will remain the same, I'm re-structuring
how it all functions.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

Dynamically load content by date using xml

i would like to load content by date using xml. meaning if i
have 5 upcoming social events listed, i want them to dynamically
drop off from my webpage as the event date passes. i would like to
use the built in spry xml dataset functionality, but don't have to.
i can't seem to find a way to get the server date and then compare
it to a date in a xml node. this seems simple, but i can't seem to
find a tutorial that does not get crazy with all kinds of
code.

Have the column headings (which the user clicks to sort by
that column) as
links back to the main page, with the sort as a url parameter
eg
www.mysite.com/mypage.php?sort=name
www.mysite.com/mypage.php?sort=date
etc
Then in your recordset, change the code from
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table ";
to
switch($_GET['sort']){
case "date":
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY date DESC";
break;
case "name":
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY name DESC";
break;
You`ll need to change the above to suit your needs obviously,
but the above
shows the principles that you need to use.
So you use the same page for each sort, but the SQL to
retrieve the records
in the order you want changes dynamically.

Xml re-loading using as2

Hi
I'm using xml to populate an swf file. With firefox I just
have to change the xml file and the new changes are seen
immediately.
With Windows explorer I have to delete the cache before the
changes are visible.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Well, that problem is very common.
Try this...
When you load the xml file pass to the url a variable in GET
style. I mean:
xmlObj.load("
http://mydomain.com/file.xml?anyvar=anyvalue")
doesn't matter the name and the value of the varible. This
method makes the xml to be taken dynamically but the xml file is
static so the server always sends the current xml file.
Note: Probably if you test it on local it will throws an
error. You'll have to test it onLine.

Xcelsius error: Unable to load URL while using QAAWS on XI 3.0.

Hi Experts,
I am getting "unable to load url" in xcelsius 2008 while importing a qaaws url.
After all the testing below are my observations:-
1) This has something to do with QAAWS.
2) When I logged into QAAWS and tried accessing the newly created url from the browser. It gave this error " can not communicate to the server mcc69u01:6400" but intrestingly the cms port is located at 6464 and not 6400.
3) For every other application like infoview and cmc it picks the correct port i.e. 6464.
4) Server is present on a UNIX box.
5) I read somewhere that I need to make changes in the dsws.properties file under war files folder. There I enetered "domain= mcc69u01:6464" and restarted TOMCAT.
6) After making this change I was unable to even log into QAAWS as it gave the error 02718 " you are not authorized to create query".
7) After reverting the changes now I am able to log into QAAWS and create new queries but the same problem persist.
8) TOMCAT is listening to port 8088 for our environment.
9) Tried the same thing from a different client machine with fairly new BO XI 3.0 client installation(same server) but no success.
I believe somehow QAAWS is not able to connect to the correct port 6464 and that is the reason for this issue.
Could anyone suggest what I should do???
Thanks in anticipation,
Anshul

hi Anshul,
The QAAWSservletprincipal is not related to how you log into the server when creating queries
It is used when the queries are actually running, or when you are trying to load the query to a tool like Xcelsius. I had the same unable to load error and it was caused by the QAAWSservletprincipal being set to concurrent licence when my server was all named users.
I think the issue you are seeing is more likely a bug caused by hardcoded cms port, but I think it is worth ruling out.

Alan

How to load images using xml in flash

Error while posting xml file to URL using URLConnection

Hello everyone,
I am facing an issue from long time related to URLConnection. If this would be resolved by your help then I would be very grateful to you.
One application which posts xml file to URL hangs and after waiting for 5 mins it throws 504 error:
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 504 for URL: http:hostname.
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:715)
Same application is running fine without error on another environment from last 5 years. But on another env it is erroring out from the day 1.
We have many workarounds in place none worked.
I tried to use HttpClient from apache but that too hanged at URLConnection.getInputStream() method call.
App is running on iPlanet web server 6.1 using JDK 1.4.0_03
We still dont know why this program hangs at that particular line in only one env but many times it runs fine. That means 30% of the times it posts xml file without error but 70% times it errors out. So our program logic is to retry until post is successful.
Once this issue is resolved we will remove the logic of trying again and agian.
Please provide inputs.
Thanks,
Nitin

The HTTP response 504 means that the server, acting as a gateway, has not received a response from an upstream server in the time it expected.
I think this is problem is due to the remote server that receives the XML and takes too long to return a response to the local application that posted the XML.
Try HttpClient and set the timeout variable of the HttpClient instance used.
Here http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jakarta/commons/proper/httpclient/trunk/src/examples/PostXML.java?revision=480424&view=markup
a Post XML sample.
NB: HttpClient > setTimeout method is deprecated. See : http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/index.html for an alternative
Hope That Helps

Using sqlldr to load XML files and the file name ? or access the file name

I can use sqlldr to load the XML files when I declare the target table of XMLTYPE, but I need to load the filename and a sequence also with the XML in a table so we can mark wether the file passed validation or not.
something like ....
Create table test1
lobfn varchar(200),
load_number number,
XML_COL XMLTYPE
--------------- here is my sqlldr command
sqlldr xml_user/xml_user load_test1.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE test1
append
xmltype(XML_COL)
lobfn FILLER char TERMINATED by ',',
XML_COL LOBFILE(lobfn) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
filename1.xml
filename2.xml
filename64.xml
sqlldr comes back and says "commit point reached - logical record count 64
but when I select count(*) from test1; it returns 0 rows.
and when I
SELECT X.* FROM tst1 P2,
XMLTable ( '//XMLRoot//APPLICATION'
PASSING P2.XML_COL
COLUMNS
"LASTNAME" CHAR(31) PATH 'LASTNAME',
"FIRSTNAME" CHAR(31) PATH 'FIRSTNAME'
) AS X;
It tells me invalid identifier ,
Do I need to use a function to get the XML_COL as a object_value ???
But when I create the table like
create table test1 of XMLTYPE;
and use sqlldr it works, but I dont have the file name, or dont know how to access it ??
and I can use
SELECT X.* FROM tst1 P2,
XMLTable ( '//XMLRoot//APPLICATION'
PASSING P2.object_value
COLUMNS
"LASTNAME" CHAR(31) PATH 'LASTNAME',
"FIRSTNAME" CHAR(31) PATH 'FIRSTNAME'
) AS X;

In answer to your question, I agree with Odie, you don't want to be using XML DOM for this. See Mark Drake's (mdrake) answers on this thread over in the XMLDB forum...

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,
