Using XPath for associatios into BPMN process??

Hello everybody:
I'm using Oracle SOA and BPM Suite 11.1.1.5
I have a BPMN process that have an entry variable of type CBEFF_BIR_Type (the xml declaration is shown below)
<xsd:complexType name="CBEFF_BIR_Type">
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name="FormatOwner" type="xsd:positiveInteger" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
 <xsd:element name="FormatType" type="xsd:positiveInteger" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
 <xsd:element name="BIR_Information" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
 <xsd:complexType>
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name="BIR_Info" type="iso-iec19785-3-7:BIRInfoType" minOccurs="0"
 maxOccurs="1"/>
 <xsd:element name="BDB_Info" type="iso-iec19785-3-7:BDBInfoType" minOccurs="0"
 maxOccurs="1"/>
 <xsd:element name="SB_Info" type="iso-iec19785-3-7:SBInfoType" minOccurs="0"
 maxOccurs="1"/>
 </xsd:sequence>
 </xsd:complexType>
 </xsd:element>
 *<xsd:element name="BIR" type="tns:BaseBIRType"/>*
 </xsd:sequence>
 </xsd:complexType>* BaseBIRType xml declaration*
<xsd:complexType name="BaseBIRType"/>According to the business logic that BIR sould contain a node of type URI_BIR or BinaryBIR (xml declaration is shown below), it will never a self BaseBIRType.
<xsd:complexType name="URI_BIR">
 <xsd:complexContent>
 *<xsd:extension base="tns:BaseBIRType">*
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name="URI" type="xsd:anyURI"/>
 </xsd:sequence>
 </xsd:extension>
 </xsd:complexContent>
 </xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="BinaryBIR">
 <xsd:complexContent>
 *<xsd:extension base="tns:BaseBIRType">*
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name="Binary" type="xsd:base64Binary"/>
 </xsd:sequence>
 </xsd:extension>
 </xsd:complexContent>
 </xsd:complexType>As you can see, the bolded code in the first block illustrate a node of type BaseBIRType and the bolded code in the second block shows that the complex type URI_BIR and BinaryBIR are an extension of BaseBIRType. So it looks like a inheritance, as I see it.
Inside my process I need to know what kind of node is coming inside de BIR (URI or Binary) to copy it to the correct variable type. I've tryed using the XPath Expessions provided by the IDE (+ora:instanceOf(XpathExpression, QName)+) but I had no results.
Please someone who can guide me?, I'll appreciate any help. I'm new in XPath.

As I see it you should use transformations not associations in such case. Within transformation (xslt) you should use XPath expression to test which of the concrete instance of the base type you are dealing with and proceed accordingly. That's bit ugly (depending on actual subelements to distinguish types) so there are two alternatives:
1. use xsi:type in xml instance - an attribute which will directly indicate the type of the element (many java xml binding frameworks can output such attribute while marshalling types to xml)
2. remodel your xsd to use substitution groups - the construct is similar but due to nature of substitution groups each concrete type will have a separate named element - easy to distinguish later in transformation

Using XPath for DOM traversal

This question falls into the category of 'I know it's possible, I just need to find the idom in Java'.
I'm coming from a MSFT world were the DOM-centric model of XML processing makes heavy use of XPATH for node selection. Basically using the method element.selectNodes(XPathExpresson) allows one to quickly extract the relevant subset of the parsed tree in the DOM as a nodeList. I've become accustomed to using XML for all strucutured storage that doesn't require a full database.
The W3C DOM Level 3 spec supports evaluateExpression() for this purpose, but I can't believe that Java developers are still using tree traversal waiting for the spec to be implemented. I suppose that I could use getNodesByTagName(), but this is a chainsaw, and I need a scalpel. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how, exactly, this gets done in Java.
I figure the following are possibilities:
1) It's in JAXP and I missed it
2) One or more of the XML parsers supports XPATH as an extention
3) There's a common package that sits on top of the DOM Document.
4) There's a standard way to apply and XSLT methods to the DOM document
5) Something I've never thought of.
This is a generalized problem for me, so I can't rely on object serialization, Java-XML data mapping, etc. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I've written a Config file reader for XML in java,
and it extracts values using XPath. This is
some of the code you'll need:
imports:
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;
import org.apache.xpath.XPathAPI;
import org.apache.xpath.objects.*;
Document doc=....;
* returns a single DOM Node from the config file.
public Node getNode(String xpath) throws ConfigException {
try {
return XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(doc, xpath);
} catch (TransformerException e) {
throw new ConfigException("Can't find '"+xpath+"' ("+e.getMessage()+")");

Using certificate for signing into portal

Hello experts,
we want to implement the functionality of certificate in the portal.
If we have SAP passport then the pop up window lists the certificate from "User Certificate store", when i log on to service marketplace.
We have a similar kind of requirement in our portal, that whenever user tries to log on into the portal a pop up should come which will list the certificates available in the store of his browser.
This functionality should be similar to service marketplace one.
If anybody has done this previously, please let me know the direction to proceed.
thanks in advance, useful solution will be rewarded.
rgds,
Kedar Kulkarni

Hi Kedar,
I have configured SAP NetWeaver Portal using client certificates for user authentication. The configuration is a fairly straight forward process.
Find the necessary information in the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/62/881e3e3986f701e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">SAP Library</a>.

Why not keep Forms Central as a separate product to stand and sell on its own. I use it for client information to process their data-ptocessing in my mailing business; do not need or want electronic tabulation. I would be happy to pay several hundred doll

I use a Forms Central form to ask questions of clients to return with their mailing database; tabulation is not wanted or required. From the answers and boxes marked, I have most or all the information to process data in accordance with the United States Postal Service. After, I return the data and paperwork including eDoc worked so that my company wins, the US Postal Service and my client (and possibly their client) wins! If Forms central was simply an interactive forms builder used for direct B2B or B2C information, it would be a winner. If I wanted SurveyMonkey, then would get it but I and others like me do not need or want tabulation services as I assume Adobe looked at Forms Central as a cash cow; it isn't that at all for me.

How to use Xpath effectively with Java

I am using Xpath for parsing a String with following syntax.This is a string suppose String xmlShopstring.

 <desc>Planeters Peanutus</desc>
 <regprice>1.99</regprice>
 <errorcode></errorcode>

You can use classes from javax.xml, org.w3c.dom packages for performing XML operations in java.
These APIs have very rich set of classes and methods for performing XML operations effectively.

javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderOnce you parse XML String to org.w3c.dom.Document you can use following classes and others for very effective XPath parsing.
javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory
javax.xml.xpath.XPath
javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpression
javax.xml.xpath.XPathConstantsI have listed some classes which can help you to perform XPath parsing, you should also explore other classes in the API for more XML operations.

Experience Using CE for publishing BPMN Processes for documentation?

Dear all,
has anybody some experience in using the Netweaver CE for publishing BPMN Processes only for documentation purpose? One part of our process pools contains only processes, that will not be used for process automation within CE Applications. We want to do do it this way, because theese processes describes our business on a higher level.

You can write a Java program using the BOE SDK that does that. HEre are some examples:

What do you mean by regular xml document? Are you referring to fact that its missing a root element? if yes it can be added as below
USE AdventureWorks;

replace ElementName and RootName with whatever name you need to set for element as well as the root element

Using Xpath in Receiver Determination for greater than 500

Hi,
I am trying to use Xpath in the receiver Determination step and I want to check a field which is at item level and comes multiple times(0-unbounded) greater than 500.I tried with different options per SDN blogs,Xpath functions,but still I couldn't able to get what i am trying.I want to process the message when "quantity" is greater than 500,else I want to ignore the message with no errors.
I gave like this /p1: /LIST/item[quantity>499] EX
item loop is 0-unbounded and I need to check for every quantity.I selected the check box multi line as well.
I played around different options,but still did not get what I am looking for.
please suggest in this regard ,how I need to give the expression.
Thank you,
Sri

Hi,
For validating that the item field is occuring more than 500 times you need to choose the
2.The exact XPath would be in your case *(/p1: /LIST/itemquantity[499]EX)*
This means if the 500 th occurance of the item exists then the condition satisfies that is always true for 500 and above occurance of the item.
Please revert if the suggestion proves to be helpful.
cheers,
Abhishek.

Hopefully useful tips for endless processing

I also posted this in reply to another user, but I think it might be useful enough to others that I will post it here so it's not so buried.
I'm just starting, after many, many hours, to see the light at the end of the tunnel with Aperture 3. I think A3 offers some great options, and is a diamond in the rough -- very, very rough, even in v3.0.1.
But I think I have some VERY USEFUL TIPS for you here (again this is after a lot of learning by pain... 4 different attempts to "upgrade" my A2.1.4 library (42K images about 200GB of images).
1st, and possibly most importantly the "SHIFT" key is your friend. You can use it when you restart A3 to stop the endless processing loop that A3 would fall into every time I upgraded or imported my library to A3 (or 3.01). All you need to do is hold down the "SHIFT" key while restarting A3, this should top all previously stuck processing as you upgrade your library. So use this tip after you first upgrade/import your library, if the processing bug hits. Then you have to be patient and go though your library and figure out where the problem files are (Apple has done a LOUSY job in not identifying what specific images A3 is processing in the "Activity Window" -- Let Apple know if this really bugs you)
2nd, at this point you will need to systematically go through your library and figure out where the "problem" files are and "fix" them (in my case all of these worked just fine in 2.1.4 - go figure). I would start by generating thumbnails for all of the images in a project, one project at a time (I had 150 some in my library). When you get stuck in the "processing" loop again, you can restart A3 using the "SHIFT" trick, and maybe just try a chunk of images within that same project until you find where things fail again, and until you can get to the offending image (if it's a problem you won't be able to generate a thumbnail for the image -- and A3 will go into endless "processing" mode)
3rd, this sound like a horribly tedious process and it is. But I can offer you some useful tips. In my case, and others as well apparently, a lot of the offending files are 16-bit PSD or TIFF images, especially if they had adjustments applied in A2.1.4. In my case I had fewer than 50 of these, so I exported an original and a jpg for each of these files. I re-imported the jpg and deleted the PSD/TIFF from A3 (I kept the exported original for future use). These files would then generate thumbs without endlessly processing. The other type of file that I ran into problems with were stitched panoramic images (often over 30MP) that I had applied adjustments to in A2.1.4. I simply removed the adjustments and the generated thumbs for them (worked like a charm).
4th, download some good podcast, music or audiobook... this will take a long time.
Cheers, and look me up in FaceBook I started a group called "Apple Please Fix Aperture"

Danny,
Funny you should mention this.... (actually it makes you look a bit like a "schill", even though you are not)... nope, as far as I can tell there is no way to tell which specific images are causing A3 to grind to a halt.
Hence my comment:
"(Apple has done a LOUSY job in not identifying what specific images A3 is processing in the "Activity Window" -- Let Apple know if this really bugs you)" and similar previous ones in other posts.
I wonder if Steve, yes that one, knew about this, being the perfectionist he seems to be, if he would have this feature included in Activity Monitor ASAP, or more likely it would have just been fixed by now (more of a "one-button" solution). Anyone have his house #?
In any case, I please let me (us) know if this helps resolve your problems... and consider joining the Facebook group as well and maybe we can hope for a much better 3.x.x version in the very near future.

There are a sample for loop data out using xpath-querie?

hello,
i have a web service that contains multiple rows. i transfered these data in a variable tInput. Now i want to transfer these data in a output variable.
Is There a sample or tutorial, that shows how to loop data out of a variable (array) in a
second variable using xpath-querie?
regards,
rala

Hi,
thanks for the Link, but it doesn't work at all.
I have a variable tOutput with follow content:
tOutput>
<part name="parameters" >
<SchedulForwardResponse>
<SchedulForwardResult>
<ArrayType>
<plnnr>50001203</plnnr>
<vornr>1</vornr>
<starttime>20.08.2006 09:00:00</starttime>
</ArrayType>
<ArrayType>
<plnnr>50001203</plnnr>
<vornr>2</vornr>
<starttime>20.08.2006 09:10:00</starttime>
</ArrayType>
<ArrayType>
<plnnr>50001203</plnnr>
<vornr>3</vornr>
<starttime>20.08.2006 09:35:00</starttime>
</ArrayType>
</SchedulForwardResult>
</SchedulForwardResponse>
</part>
</tOutput>
I want to copy these content in the output Variable of my BPEL Prozess. But just the first <ArrayType> is copy to output:
<ArrayTpe>
<plnnr>50001203</plnnr>
<vornr>1</vornr>
<starttime>20.08.2006 09:00:00</starttime>
</ArrayType>
The other two <ArrayType> fail.
I create 3 variables:
<variable name="bufferOutput" messageType="ns0:SchedulForwardSoapOut"/> (MessageType of the invokeing WS)
<variable name="count" type="xsd:integer"/>
<variable name="n" type="xsd:integer"/>
Count and n are counter for the while loop. Count is initial 1. For n i have follow expression:
<assign name="prepareLoop">
<copy>
<from expression="ora:countNodes('bufferOutput','parameters','/ns0:SchedulForwardResponse/ns0:SchedulForwardResult/ns0:ArraySchedulType[1]')"></from>
<to variable="n"/>
</copy>
</assign>
In the BPEL Console i saw, that the value of n is1 and not 3 as i thought. When i set ora.countNodes to SchedulForwardResult n is null in the console.
Does anybody try befor to copy such a content of a variable into another variable or has a idea how i can implement these?

After closing Firefox to use IE8 or any other program (like InterVideo to watch a DVD), everything is very choppy and slow. I have to go into Taskbar, Processes, and close firefox.exe manually (which is using up all the memory/CPU and should have closed before). Then, and only then, does everything behave normally. What is going on and what am I doing wrong or missing??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a couple months ago and happens every time I close Firefox.

'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
See: '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]'''
'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
'''[[Firefox hangs]]'''
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit (Mozillazine article)]'''
'''[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]'''
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
'''''Other Issues''''': to correct security/stability issues
'''Update Java''': your ver. 1.6.0.19; current ver. 1.6.0.20 (important security update 04-15-2010)

Do the update with Firefox closed.

I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

I have a very old (by computer standards) MacBook Pro, and a newer one. I've been using the old one mostly for iTunes, into which I have only CD entries. For a long time, years, the old MacBook pro ceased entering the song titles. This is very time consuming for me, so I finally investigated a bit further.
I discovered how to enter the track titles onto my newer MacBook Pro, and was so pleased! But when I tried to do the same with the other laptop, it failed.
What I did, basically, was what the Apple Help suggested--choose iTunes General Preferences, etc.etc. And yes, I did upgrade the old laptop to the newest iTunes version.
Am I just wasting my time here? Is there some reason why an older Mac Pro will not do what the newer one will, with regard to iTunes?
My older laptop is a 2.6 GHz Core Duo; it has 36 GB of "memory available." The newer one a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7. It has 284 GB of memory available.
Both are using the same version of Snow Leopard--10.6.8.
