Working with local xml file

Hi, I would like to work with a local xml file, but I don't want to point to a strict location as I would like my application to run on a few different machines.
Is there a special place within Netbeans project structure that I can place such files?
Say if I try and load a file "somefile.xml" - where is it going to look first?
I have a <default package> with my settings.xml in there. How can I reference this within my app?

There you would place such a file in the <tt>main/resources</tt> folder
Say if I try and load a file "somefile.xml" - where is it going to look first?I'ts going to look for it where you tell your program to.
When created as <tt>new File("somefile.xml")</tt> it will bee searched in the <i>currend working directory</i>. The problem with that is that it is unreliable what this will be at runtime (once your Program left your IDE...).
You should better get it via <tt>getClass().getResource("somefile.xml")</tt> But in this case the file must be present in the classpath in the same package as the Class aquireing it. Adding a <tt>'/'</tt> in front of the file name expects it in the root directory of a classpath entry.
I have a <default package> with my settings.xml in there. How can I reference this within my app?<tt>getClass().getResource("/settings.xml")</tt>
But in case you include it into the delivery jar file it will not be writable. Also you cannot expect the installation folder of your App to be writable. On startup of your program you should copy your (default) settings to a writable place like <tt>new File(System.getProperty("user.home2),".myApp/settings.xml");</tt> and modify it there.

Does the parser work with large XML files?

Is there a restriction on the XML file size that can be loaded into the parser?
I am getting a out of memory exception reading in large XML file(10MB) using the commands
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
URL url = createURL(argv[0]);
parser.setErrorStream(System.err);
parser.setValidationMode(true);

We have a number of test files that are that size and it works without a problem. However using the DOMParser does require significantly more memory than your doc size.
What is the memory configuration of the JVM that you are running with? Have you tried increasing it? Are you using our latest version 2.0.2.6?

Working with local files at c:\temp ...

Hi!
My report is working with local files (this is a must). I know that i can't use such a report in a planned job in the background. Are there nevertheless any options for me starting this report regularly in an automatic way? ...Perhaps on a pc which is always logged/switched on?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Ingo

Hi,
why didn't you check the sy-batch (test if it's a background job) ?
use the DIR_TEMP of the SAP server when it's a background job.
to get the physical directory you could use this kernel function :
CALL 'C_SAPGPARAM' ID 'NAME' FIELD 'DIR_TEMP'
ID 'VALUE' FIELD searchpoints-dirname.
(dirname is a CHAR 75)

Access Denied error with basic XML file operations

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a basic read, write and delete code for XML files which I can build upon in the future. The three methods are bound to three buttons on the page and all three calls are awaited. Here's my code:
Write:
XElement uservarnodes = new XElement("uservars",
new XElement("uservar1", "1"),
new XElement("uservar2", "2"),
new XElement("uservar3", "3"),
new XElement("uservar4", "4"),
new XElement("uservar5", "5"),
new XElement("uservar6", "6"),
new XElement("uservar7", "7"),
new XElement("uservar8", "8"));
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var file = await local.CreateFileAsync("uservarfile.xml", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
var stream = await file.OpenAsync(Windows.Storage.FileAccessMode.ReadWrite);
using (var outputStream = stream.GetOutputStreamAt(0))
DataWriter mydataWriter = new DataWriter(outputStream);
mydataWriter.WriteString(uservarnodes.ToString());
await mydataWriter.StoreAsync();
await outputStream.FlushAsync();
Read (outputs the data to a textblock):
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var file = await local.GetFileAsync("uservarfile.xml");
string readtext = await Windows.Storage.FileIO.ReadTextAsync(file);
XElement uservarnodes = XElement.Parse(readtext);
txtTarget.Text = uservarnodes.ToString();
Delete:
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var file = await local.GetFileAsync("uservarfile.xml");
await file.DeleteAsync(StorageDeleteOption.PermanentDelete);
When I tap each of the buttons once it all seems to work. But when I tap any of the buttons again within the same debug session I get an Access denied exception (E_ACCESSDENIED). Other people with this error had to await when calling their method, but I'm
already doing that: private async void btnWrite_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { await WriteToXMLFile(); }, etc.
And the intervals between my taps isn't that short that you'd expect that the previously called method still had not finished completing. I don't understand why I'm getting the access denied error.
Related to my question: I have added XML to the File Type Associations, File Open Picker and File Save Picker in the appxmanifest, but somewhere I read that you do not need to do this if you're working with local app data only. Is this true?

var stream = await file.OpenAsync(Windows.Storage.FileAccessMode.ReadWrite);
I think because of your file stream hasn't been closed.
by the way, it can be easier by using System.IO.OpenStreamForWriteAsync extension method
async public static Task<bool> SaveTextFileAsync(string filename, string data)
byte[] fileBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data);
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
var file = await local.CreateFileAsync(filename, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
try
using (var s = await file.OpenStreamForWriteAsync())
s.Write(fileBytes, 0, fileBytes.Length);
return true;
catch
return false;
(need using System.IO namespace)

Write data to local xml file

Does anyone know if there is a way to write data to a local xml file using the Connection refresh Button??

Hi there Glenn,
That's tricky...
Are you using SP1? You need to have at least SP1.
The XLFs were generated with an internal build newer than SP1, but they should still work in earlier builds.
If you changed the HTML file, that might be the cause. The SWF references in the HTML file must be exact.
Also, the range names must match as defined in the XLF/SWF. The bolded lines following should match. It's easiest if they all use the SWF name.
else if (hasRequestedVersion) {
// if we've detected an acceptable version
// embed the Flash Content SWF when all tests are passed
AC_FL_RunContent(

How to bind to local xml file?

I have a local XML file referenced in my Declarations tag:
<fx:Declarations>
<fx:XML id="myXMLdata" source="assets/names.xml" />
</fx:Declarations>
I previously had a proof of concept version working with the XML defined in my MXML with a bindable tag:
[Bindable]
public var names : XML= <root>
etc., etc.
I need to place the xml in a separate local file so that changes to the file will persist.
How do I do this and bind to it?
thanks
MCE

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/xml_prefs.html - This should help you, i guess.
In short,
private function saveXML():void
personXML.firstName = fName_txti.text;
personXML.lastName = lName_txti.text;
var newXMLStr:String = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" + personXML.toXMLString();
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
fs.writeUTFBytes(newXMLStr);
fs.close();
This function can be the eventHandler function for, say an XML change event etc.
Hope this helps,

Working With Nested XML Data

Hello,
I'm doing my best to create a page in Dreamweaver CS4 utilizing Spry datasets and, I hope, a valid nested XML file. What I want to do is use one XML file that provides the content for my nav div and my content div. It would, in essence, display as an outline. When a user clicks on an item in the nav div the content would be displayed. What I'm guessing would work for the XML file would be this format:
<content>
<topic name="Elements">   //--this would serve as the nav element and trigger
    <header>Non-editable</header>   //--this would serve as a header in the content area
    <info>
      <detail id="1">CSS, javascript</detail>   //--this would serve as detail under the headers in the content area.
      <detail id="2">Headers</detail>
      <detail id="3">Footers</detail>
      <detail id="4">Areas within navigation panel</detail>
    </info>
</topic>
</content>
I got the idea from this page in Live Docs: Create a Spry nested data set. Also from a Labs page called Nested XML Data Sample. I've been able to make various parts of the page work but I don't know what is broken. My issues are this:
I once saw but can no longer find a method for preventing redundant display of data. In this case, the nav elements which are attributes in my XML file.
The details are showing up in my content area. I must be doing the code for the nesting incorrectly.
I want to then use the details in the content area to trigger spry tooltips, the content for whih would be genereated from an XML file or HTML frags.
Here is my latest, ill-fated attempt:

Thoughts? My hope is to distill this process so I can teach others how to do it in the hopes that they will find it easier to keep their department/program websites up-to-date.
Thanks for the help.

I apologize, im using Spry XML Data Set. i guess the best way to describe what im trying to do is, i want to use the Non-desctructive filter sample with the Spry Nested XML Data sample. So with my sample xml on my first post and with the same code non-destructive filter is using, im having trouble trying to search repeating nodes, for some reason it only searches the last node of the repeating nodes. Does that make sense? let me know.
thank you Arnout!

Problems with reading XML files with ISO-8859-1 encoding

Hi!
I try to read a RSS file. The script below works with XML files with UTF-8 encoding but not ISO-8859-1. How to fix so it work with booth?
Here's the code:
import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import java.net.*;
* @author gustav
public class RSSDocument {
    /** Creates a new instance of RSSDocument */
    public RSSDocument(String inurl) {
        String url = new String(inurl);
        try{
            DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
            Document doc = builder.parse(url);
            NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("item");
            for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
                Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i);
                NodeList title = element.getElementsByTagName("title");
                Element line = (Element) title.item(0);
                System.out.println("Title: " + getCharacterDataFromElement(line));
                NodeList des = element.getElementsByTagName("description");
                line = (Element) des.item(0);
                System.out.println("Des: " + getCharacterDataFromElement(line));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

I read files from the web, but there is a XML tag
with the encoding attribute in the RSS file.If you are quite sure that you have an encoding attribute set to ISO-8859-1 then I expect that your RSS file has non-ISO-8859-1 character though I thought all bytes -128 to 127 were valid ISO-8859-1 characters!
Many years ago I had a problem with an XML file with invalid characters. I wrote a simple filter (using FilterInputStream) that made sure that all the byes it processed were ASCII. My problem turned out to be characters with value zero which the Microsoft XML parser failed to process. It put the parser in an infinite loop!
In the filter, as each byte is read you could write out the Hex value. That way you should be able to find the offending character(s).

Working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser

working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser when i came back on working on bootstrap my computer started hanging and opning new tabs and showing message " A caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close thoe program and notify you if solution is available"

Hi Geetha,
1.) button problem:
i don't know how you open the form - when you do it with a XML file maybe you packed the wrong XML file into your addon installer.
2.) the flickering can be a problem of formatted searches or interacting with other addons.
when addon a. changes a field it can be that addon b. does something because of the event from addon a.
the same can happen when you have formatted searches that do something when a field changes.
ok - that are my last tipps for this day
good night

Begging for help with podcast xml file

Hey All,
I have a podcast on iTunes. I am hosting the xml file and podcast mp3s on a friends server so Im not using any service. Everything is working and Ive sucessfully added 4 podcasts so far, and it shows up correctly in iTunes on my PC.
However my podcasts do not showup correct in the iTunes store website, or on idevices. Meaning, I number my shows 001_"NAME" 002_"NAME" etc. Yet in the iTunes store they show up out of order. So my last show is not at the top its at the bottom, and they are all mixed up (like 002, 001, 004, 003 instead of 4,3,2,1) Also the publish date is the same on two of them (and not what i have in the xml file) and doesnt show up at all on the other two. I assume this is a problem with the xml file, yet I dont see any problems with it. But it seems odd that it all works correctly in the actual iTunes program. Ive tried different code, but im very much a noob at it, and everything i find online is from 5 - 10 years ago or wants you to host your podcasts with their site and I dont need that.
Here is the link to the show on the iTunes website so you can see what i mean: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/your-reality-recap/id501295325
If anybody can, would you mind checking out the code in my xml file and letting me know if you see anything thats causing this issue?
I zipped the xml file and put it here: http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YRR.zip
I would be truly greatfuly for any help with this. Ive been trying to fix this for days and dont know what else to do.
Thanks!
Eric

Your feed is at http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YourRealityRecap.xml (please always post the feed URL, not its contents or a copy).
I don't see the issues you mention. The order in the Store and when subscribing is what I would expect:
The order in the Store depends on clicking the header to the column: the default is the first one. Some of the dates are a day out - this is quite commmon and is probably a time zone issue (it may be different where you are - I'm in the UK). I don't know why you are seeing a garbled order unless you've clicked on one of the other columns in the Store.

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
CS5 is history and it is not longer supported. There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

Advice needed: The way to solve out of memory problem (or the way to work with big csv files)

Hello:)
I'm in trouble: I have a big csv file (over 5gb of web-analytics data) and my 64 bit excel (and 6gb ram)
I cant load file to data model because of it's size. There is an error "out of memory" in power query.
This is the first time when I encountered such a problem.
What options do I have to work with such a file? To increase memory in my computer? Would it solve the problem? How much do I need to work with 6gb csv?
Or may be I can upload my data somewhere to azure and work with it there?
So the problem - is there any way to deal with big files using power query? Or I need to become a developer and learn sql or other languages?
Thanks in advance.
Max

Hi Miguel!
Thanks for your answer.
I've tried to load this file on virtual pc from azure cloud with this config:
I have increased memory limit in power query settings:
And still, the proble is the same:
