UTF-16 parsing problem in XI

Hi! we are having a problem with XML encoding. An external system A sends us a XML message through HTTP. An example of the XML is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<Envelope version="01.00">
</Envelope>
The system A uses UTF-16 for the encoding. We write a Java mapping to manipulate the data and writes out the data in UTF-8 and use UTF-8 in the header. Then we would do a message mapping. The trace shows that the Java mapping gets executed successfully. However, it throws out a ParserException in the message mapping. This is a copy of the trace log:
<Trace level="1" type="T">RuntimeException during appliction Java mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_Can_HRXML_to_RFC_Req_</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0x0(:main:, row:3, col:0) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.Transformer.checkParserException(Transformer.java:41) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.Transformer.start(Transformer.java:79) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.execute(AMappingProgram.java:232) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.server.mapping.JavaMapping.executeStep(JavaMapping.java:63) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.server.mapping.Mapping.execute(Mapping.java:91) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.server.mapping.SequenceMapping.executeStep(SequenceMapping.java:55) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.server.mapping.Mapping.execute(Mapping.java:91) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.server.mapping.MappingHandler.run(MappingHandler.java:78) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.sbeans.mapping.MappingRequestHandler.handleMappingRequest(MappingRequestHandler.java:88) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.sbeans.mapping.MappingRequestHandler.handleRequest(MappingRequestHandler.java:63) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.sbeans.mapping.MappingServiceImpl.processFunction(MappingServiceImpl.java:79) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.sbeans.mapping.MappingServiceObjectImpl0.processFunction(MappingServiceObjectImpl0.java:131) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor294.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at com.sap.engine.services.ejb.session.stateless_sp5.ObjectStubProxyImpl.invoke(ObjectStubProxyImpl.java:187) at $Proxy42.processFunction(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor568.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at com.sap.engine.services.rfcengine.RFCDefaultRequestHandler.handleRequest(RFCDefaultRequestHandler.java:95) at com.sap.engine.services.rfcengine.RFCJCOServer.handleRequestInternal(RFCJCOServer.java:113) at com.sap.engine.services.rfcengine.RFCJCOServer$ApplicationRunnable.run(RFCJCOServer.java:171) at com.sap.engine.core.thread.impl3.ActionObject.run(ActionObject.java:37) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at com.sap.engine.core.thread.impl3.SingleThread.execute(SingleThread.java:95) at com.sap.engine.core.thread.impl3.SingleThread.run(SingleThread.java:159)</Trace>
When I run SXMB_MONI to show the processed XML message, the message from the system A isnt shown correctly. This is what it says:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
I tried to use a HTTP post tool to post the XML message, if I changed UTF-16 to UTF-8, the message could be processed successfully.
How do we resolve this encoding problem? The external system A could change the encoding scheme to UTF-8, but the header is hard-coded, and will be remained to be UTF-16 whatever scheme it uses. Any input will be appreciated.

Hi,
I have a similar problem.
Input is xml with UTF8 encoding, output is xml with UTF8 encoding.
In spite of that simple situation, Transformer returns bad output:
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(outputStream);
/*Properties properties = transformer.getOutputProperties();
properties.setProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
transformer.setOutputProperties(properties);*/ this didn't help
transformer.transform(source, result);
//source --> correct in UTF8
//result --> after transformation is incorrect in UTF8
And the result ist:
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/rlatta/Local S...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><SDS_XSD_ZPPM_POB><pob>070</pob><skratkaPobocky>SE</...
Does anybody know some answer?
p.s. we recently installed support packages SAP_BASIS 13, SAP_ABA 13. Before it worked so far I know.

WIJ 20002 xml Parser Problem - Rich Client

Hi,
I have a problem with the rich client on a new installation:

If I connect with the rich client "import document"is disabled.
if I try to create a new document from the rich client it returns the error below (I used the rich client on two workstations):

Report query parsing problem

I didn't find any report of this problem...
Using APEX 3.0.1.00.07, I have a report of type "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)" with the "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" radio button selected.
When the region source contains the string "ORDER BY" in any form that I've tried (even in a comment), attempting to save the region fails with "Your query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting enabled."
I do indeed have column sorting enabled on certain columns, but I don't see how that is relevant under these circumstances since the query produced at runtime does not have an ORDER BY clause.
Am I overlooking something or is this a parsing problem?
Rodney

Rodney,
It's just checking for order by being included in your query, and if so and you have column heading sorting enabled, it's raising this error because you can't have both (even if it's commented out).

Marc

SAX parser problem in JDK1.5

I have parse the xml file using SAX in jdk1.5 environment. During the parsing, it missed the some text content.
for example
<employeeid>
<empid>1001</empid>
<empid>1002</empid>
</employeeid>
If i have parse the above xml file using SAX in jdk1.5 environment. The output is
1001
100
during the parsing , SAX parser misses digit of 2.
if i have parse the above xml file using SAX in jdk1.4 environment , it is working fine.
what is the problem in jdk1.5
please help
bala

What I expect the problem to be was discussed recently in a topic titled "SAX Parser Problems" that was started on March 14 at 6:59 AM by JackoBS.
Read that and see if it fixes your problem. If so, it is not a JDK1.5 problem, but a user error.

Parsing Problems? ImageIcon and BufferedImage

Hi to everyone
Could I ask if I will to send ImageIcon with BufferedImage as its arguement. Then what should I receieve from the server? ImageIcon only or ImageIcon with BufferedImage as its arugement?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

I am sending ImageIcon over to the server, hence the server will receive as ImageIcon.
However, when I want to pass the ImageIcon which being parse to Image, this step is ok. Lastly when I want to parse the Image to BufferedImage image, I am encountering parsing problems, hence could u advise me further.
The error message "Receiving failed: java.lang.ClassCastException"
Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

when the above xml file is read and populated into ITAB, for element vendorname-2 which has a space in first position , that space is ignored.
This is being used for a FB01 posting and vendor is paid based on Name1+Name2 printed on cheque and due to the space ignoring problem, the vendor name is displayed wrongly thus causing problems.
I appreciate if someone could guide me thru and help me in solving this problem.
How to preserve the leading or trailing space.
g_selementvalue = g_childnode->get_value( ).
when i check g_selementvalue, space is ignored.
i will be greateful if someone could guide me through.
Regards,
Simha

There is no computation or anything that deletes the shuttle, the page is quite small, there is not much more than the shuttle and the validations and computations to give default value and transforming the shuttle items into a collection to continue working with the IDs.
I dont check whats the problem

Sax parser problem

hi,
i am assuming the problem is with sax parser but i cant be sure. I am parsing a xml file (about 1.4MB) with some data in it. the parser i have created reads the xml file correctly for the most part but when at some point the
"public void characters(char buf[], int offset, int len) throws SAXException"
function stops working correctly....i.e it doesnt fully read read the data between the "<start>" and "</start>" element. say it reads about 100 id's correctly---for 101 ID it does this. This is just an example. Since, the problem might be with how :
"public void characters(char buf[], int offset, int len) throws SAXException"
function is reading the data i was wondering if anybody else had encountered this problem or please let me know if i need to change something in the code: here's a part of the code :

I haven't gone through your code but I also had a similar error....and the exception in my was because of an "&" instead of the entity reference & in one of the element values. I use a non-validating parser but if you use a validating one then this might not be the reason for your exception.

Problem is that I have to include the attribute xmlns = "http://palaciohierro.com.mx/mde/expe" in my XML doc.
What I really need is to be able to validate de XML doc against a stablished schema, when the XML doc does not include the
xmlns attribute.

XML-Parser-Problem ? DataBindings.cpx

Hello,
Ok -I just will formulate my question somewhat different: It is possible that the XML-Parser has a Problem ? Please see the stuff below.
I just got a warning:
Project: D:\ORAJDev101320\jdev\mywork\LoginJSF\ViewController\ViewController.jpr
D:\ORAJDev101320\jdev\mywork\LoginJSF\ViewController\src\login\DataBindings.cpx
Warning(11,15): <Line 11, Column 15>: XML-24521: (Fehler) Element nicht abgeschlossen: 'Application'

<page path="/home.jsp" usageId="homePageDef"/>
</pageMap>
<pageDefinitionUsages>
<page id="homePageDef" path="login.pageDefs.homePageDef"/>
</pageDefinitionUsages>
</Application>
After trying a little bit it turned out that the message disappears when
the :
Application xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/application"
is rewritten to
Application xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/Application"
(Application with a upper first A)
I have to point out that previously I did not by hand coding in this file.
Is this a known issue.?
And will/could these change do cause other/addition problems somewhere ?

SOAPDecoder WebService parsing problem

This is really urgent for me!
I encountered the following:
It seems JavaME WebService API is not able to handle the following
XML part:

<strList>
<strList>A</strList>
<strList>Test</strList>
</strList>

Is this correct? What can I do to make this work? The next step would be
to parse myself.
The Server uses org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory
to write the Bean ResultList that only contains a String[] with the name
strList. However the serializer makes a double strList of it. I generated
a stub with WTK 2.5 and 2.3.
This is the server returned XML that is not parsed correct. However
a PocketPC client handles it correct. Why?
Please help, I spent 14 hours today and didn't find a solution.

I also found this problem.
Yes, it is a 4 lines text. It includes newline.
But it is ok when using JDK1.5.
I wonder if it is a bug of JDK1.6.
If I replace the line character first as follows, it is ok.
Scanner s = new Scanner(tl1Msg.replaceAll("\r\n", ""));The problem is why it is ok in JDK1.5.
Edited by: happyyear on Feb 1, 2008 2:31 AMYou must have changed something else. Can you post some sample code that executes using JDK 1.5 but not JDK 1.6?

XML parsing problem

Hi, my problem is :
In my Application i want to parse an XML file with DOM parser. The problem is that in my Project "MyProject -> Project Properties -> Libraries and Classpath"
I have included some 15 libraries which are useful for my Application: ADF Faces Runtime 11, ADF Web Runtime and etc.
Problems are causing the libraries: BC4J Runtime,ADF Model Runtime, MDS Runtime Dependencies
because when added my source which is parsing an XML file stops working.The source code is:
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
File file =
new File("C:\\Documents and Settings\\ilia\\Desktop\\begin.xml");
Document doc = db.parse(file);
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList dots = root.getElementsByTagName("w:t");
Element firstDot = (Element)dots.item(0);
String textValue = firstDot.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
I use DOM because i need to change some values in the XML file, but its not working neither for reading nor for writing.When debugging I see that it gets the root of the xml but " firstDot.getFirstChild().getNodeValue() " returns null and it breaks with NullPointerException. And that's only when the libraries mentioned above are added to the project. Without them it works just fine !
I don't know, it's like when added the parser validates my xml against some schema and returns null.
The xml file is very simple MS Word Document saved as .xml .But I don't think that's the problem.
Thanks in advance !
iliya

Hi all,
I found the solution to my problem.The right way to parse and change an XML file with DOM parser using the Oracle XML Parser v2 should look like this:
JXDocumentBuilderFactory factory =
(JXDocumentBuilderFactory)JXDocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
JXDocumentBuilder documentBuilder =
(JXDocumentBuilder)factory.newDocumentBuilder();
File file = new File("c:/Documents and Settings/ilia/Desktop/begin.xml");
InputStream input =
new FileInputStream(file);
XMLDocument xmlDocument = (XMLDocument)(documentBuilder.parse(input));
System.out.println("Encoding: " + xmlDocument.getEncoding());
System.out.println("Version: " + xmlDocument.getVersion());
NodeList namespaceNodeList =
xmlDocument.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml","t");
XMLElement namespaceElement17 = (XMLElement)namespaceNodeList.item(17);
namespaceElement17.getFirstChild().setNodeValue("someString");

XML Parser Problem

am using XML parser for PL/SQL in Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.1.1
When i run the sample xml program, i get error which is as follows. While compiling no errors. But while executing it reports error as given below.
SQL> execute domsample('c:\xml', 'family.xml', 'errors.txt');
begin domsample('c:\xml', 'family.xml', 'errors.txt'); end;
ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: No such file or directory

ORA-06512: at "COMMODITYBACKCONNECT.XMLPARSER", line 79
ORA-06512: at "COMMODITYBACKCONNECT.DOMSAMPLE", line 80
ORA-06512: at line 1
What need to be done to rectify the above problem.
when i do the following validation check
SQL>
SQL> select substr(dbms_java.longname(object_name),1,30) as class, status
2 from all_objects
3 where object_type = 'JAVA CLASS'
4 and object_name = dbms_java.shortname('oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser')
5 ;
CLASS STATUS
oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser VALID
oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser VALID
Please advice to how remove the following error:
ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: No such file or directory

Found the solution on metalink. There is a file under /$ORACLE_HOME/javavm/install/init_security.sql
which needs to be run under username where you are installing xml parser.
This step is not in readme.txt file provided as a part of download from the OTN website.

UTF-8 encoding problem in HTTP adapter

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem in the UTF-8 multi-byte character conversion.
Problem:
I am posting data from SAP CRM to third party system using XI as middle ware. I am using HTTP adapter to communicate XI to third party system.
in HTTP configuration i have given XML code as UT-8 in the XI payload manipulation block.
I am trying to post Chines characters from SAP CRM to third party system. junk characters are going to third party system. my assumption is it is double encoding.
I have checked the Xml messages in the Message monitoring in XI, i can able to see the chines charaters in XML files. But in the third party system it is showing as junk characters.
Can you please any one help me regarding this issue.
Please let me know if you need more info.
Regards,
Srini

Srinivas
Can you please go through the SAP Notes 856597 Question No.3 which may resolve your issue? Also have you checked SAP Notes 761608,639882, 666574, 913116, 779981 which might help you.

Utf-8 encoding problem on solaris

Hello all.
I am using weblogic 9.2 and I am facing a very weird problem regarding the encoding. I fetch data from the db (informix btw) and I forward data as utf-8 to jsps. I have set up everything succesfully on my web.xml, weblogic.xml and all jsps include the page directive for utf-8. When I deploy my application on windows 2k machine everything goes smooth. But when the deployment happens on a solaris machine my jsps show "?" instead of letters. Has anyone faced this problem before? Could you plz direct me towards a solution because this thing has taken me days and days and I still haven't managed to find a solution
Thanx in advance
axel

Hi,
Start the app, and hook an Eclipse debug project to it. Check if the enconding problem is while retrieving from the DB or while generating the response. If the issue is on the DB, you may need to define the enconding on the connection (I am not sure what driver you are using, but should be able to check this out.) If the issue is while generating the response, just XML escape every character.

Camera Raw Photoshop CS2 & Bridge Parsing Problem

I am having an issue with Photoshop CS2. I am trying to work on a .tiff file that I have used the HDR automate tool from. The HDR renders files in 32-bit and therefor I render back to 16-bit once I have compressed the files and save as a .tiff file.
I then use bridge to try and open the .tiff file and the camera raw file is shaded grey. I also have tried opening in PS CS2 and this message comes up when I try and force Camera Raw to Open..."Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
PS will open the tiff file on a compressed version and not in the Camera Raw Function.
I have read numerous posts on this kind of problem and people say to update your camera raw plu-in and I have done that and am having the same problem.
Any suggestions I would very much appreciate it.

Hi Patrick,
You need CR 4.x and Ps CS3 in order to open non-camera raw TIFFs.
