it means both writing and reading xml file from a jsp page...
urgent help needed......thanks

You need some API like XSL or JDOM to read data from/to XML file
you can get a best tutorial from
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2000/jw-0518-jdom.html
and
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-2000/jw-0728-jdom2.html
after reading both articals you will be able to do both the tasks

Calling XML file from Flash -- Usage of wildcard characters

Hi
We have a Flash file, tabs.swf, (standard tab interactivity) from which we are calling the XML file using the following code:
myXML.load("tabs.xml")
We are using this SWF file in many learning modules created using Captivate, FrameMaker, RoboHelp, etc. by just changing the content in the XML file appropriately. The tool creates a different folder for each module.
Now, the challenge we are having is, there will be cases where we have to use the interactivity in multiple times in the same module. In that case, content developers can change the SWF file name on their own. But they can't change the XML name without going back to media designer.
Is there a way we can use the same SWF file to call different XML files without manually changing the XML file name every time? We have a standard naming convention for the XML files -- Tab1_<ModuleName>, Tab2_<ModuleName>, etc.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Sreekanth

you can edit the swf's name, and use this._url and the flash string methods to do that.

Writing an XML file from JSP

Hi
for some this question will seem to be a stupid, but i am really confused how can i write an XML file from with in JSP code. should i have to use same FileOutPutStream.
Actually i am trying to make reports using Jasper api. It demands for an XML file which will then b converted into PDF file. Can any one help me in it.

Jasper converts a JSP into a servlet - and cannot be used to generate PDFs.
Assuming this is for a web application I would
1. Generate the XML
2. Generate the PDF from the XML
3. Send the PDF to the client from a servlet (i.e. forget the JSP).
Step 2 is actually quite complicated - you could do this manually with the IText API (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) or use an XSL approach with Apache FOP (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/)

Create XML file from table data

Dear All,
with dataservice 4.0, I want to create an XML file from a table data.
Table have a single column but more record, for example:
0001000488;100;EUR;
0001000489;200;EUR;
0001000450;300;EUR;
My desired XML output:
<Data>
0001000488;100;GBP;
0001000489;200;EUR;
0001000450;300;EUR;
</Data>
I try with a sample query but the sistem write only the last record in XML file:
<Data>
0001000450;300;EUR;
</Data>
Can everyone help me?
Thank in advance.

Hello
That is a very simple (also odd) XML document structure, and as such doesn't require use of the XML target. It can be easily acheived by writing a normal file with a header and footer, which is acheived using a row_generation and a query to generate the hard coded open and close tags.

Generate multiple XML files from one Invoices file in AR Selected Invoices

I have converted our Oracle EBS 11i Selected Invoice RAXINV.rdf to XML and created a template for XML Bursting. I'm bursting fine at the:
/ZRAXINV/LIST_G_ORDER_BY/G_ORDER_BY/LIST_G_CF_NO/G_CF_NO. My question is since I'm writing out my pdf output invoices to the filesystem on Sharepoint; I also need to archive the XML part of each invoice broken down by the same group as .//LIST_G_CF_NO/G_CF_NO. When I convert the rdf to XML it produces one XML file from which I created the templates.
My requirement is to archive both the individual invoices from the templates and the corresponding XML pieces on Sharepoint so that we will be able to search and link the xml to the pdf written out to the filesystem on Sharepoint.
Any idea how should go about this requirement will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Leo

Is it not going to just grab each element after the file tag? I'm just confused about that.

"PLS-00172: string literal too long" When Writing XML file into a Table

Hi.
I'm using DBMS_XMLStore to get a XML file into a db table. See the example below, I'm using that for my PL/SQL format. Problem is that because there're too many XML elements that I use in "xmldoc CLOB:= ...", I get "PLS-00172: string literal too long" error.
Can someone suggest a workaround?
THANKS!!!
DECLARE
insCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;
rows NUMBER;
xmldoc CLOB :=
'<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<EMPNO>7369</EMPNO>
<SAL>1800</SAL>
<HIREDATE>27-AUG-1996</HIREDATE>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>2290</EMPNO>
<SAL>2000</SAL>
<HIREDATE>31-DEC-1992</HIREDATE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>';
BEGIN
insCtx := DBMS_XMLStore.newContext('scott.emp'); -- get saved context
DBMS_XMLStore.clearUpdateColumnList(insCtx); -- clear the update settings
-- set the columns to be updated as a list of values
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx,'EMPNO');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx,'SAL');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdatecolumn(insCtx,'HIREDATE');
-- Now insert the doc.
-- This will only insert into EMPNO, SAL and HIREDATE columns
rows := DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML(insCtx, xmlDoc);
-- Close the context
DBMS_XMLStore.closeContext(insCtx);
END;
/

You ask where am getting the XML doc. Well, am not
getting the doc itself.I either don't understand or I disagree. In your sample code, you're certainly creating an XML document-- your local variable "xmldoc" is an XML document.
DBMS_XMLSTORE package needs
to know the canonical format and that's what I
hardcoded. Again, I either don't understand or I disagree... DBMS_XMLStore more or less assumes the format of the XML document itself-- there's a ROWSET tag, a ROW tag, and a then whatever column tags you'd like. You can override what tag identifies a row, but the rest is pretty much assumed. Your calls to setUpdateColumn identifies what subset of column tags in the XML document you're interested in.
Later in code I use
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn to specify which
columns are to be inserted.Agreed.
xmldoc CLOB :=
'<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<KEY_OLD> Smoker </KEY_OLD>
<KEY_NEW> 3 </KEY_NEW>
<TRANSFORM> Specified </TRANSFORM>
<KEY_OLD> Smoker </KEY_OLD>
<VALUEOLD> -1 </VALUEOLD>
EW> -1 </VALUENEW>
<DESCRIPTION> NA </DESCRIPTION>
</ROW>
ROWSET>';This is your XML document. You almost certainly want to be reading this from the file system and/or have it passed in from another procedure. If you hard-code the XML document, you're limited to a 32k string literal, which is almost certainly causing the error you were reporting initially.
As am writing this I'm realizing that I'm doing this
wrong, because I do need to read the XML file from
the filesystem (but insert the columns
selectively)...What I need to come up with is a proc
that would grab the XML file and do inserts into a
relational table. The XML file will change in the
future and that means that all my 'canonical format'
code will be broken. How do I deal with anticipated
change? Do I need to define/create an XML schema in
10g if am just inserting into one relat. table from
one XML file?What does "The XML file will change in the future" mean? Are you saying that the structure of the XML document will change? Or that the data in the XML document would change? Your code should only need to change if the structure of the document changes, which should be exceptionally uncommon and would only be an issue if you're adding another column that you want to work with, which would necessitate code changes.
I found an article where the issue of changing XML
file is dealt by using a XSL file (that's where I'd
define the 'canonical format'), but am having a
problem with creating one, because the source XML is
screwed up in terms of the format:
it's not <x> blah </x>
<x2> blah </x2>
x2="blah" x3="blah> ...etc
Can you point me in the right direction, please?You can certainly use something like the DBMS_XSLProcessor package to transform whatever XML document you have into an XML document in an appropriate format for the XMLStore package and pass that transformed XML document into something like your sample procedure rather than defining the xmldoc local variable with a hard-coded document. Of course, you'd need to write appropriate XSL code to do the actual transform.

Load XML file from addon domain without cross-domain Policy file

Hello.
Assuming that there are two addon domains on the same server: /public_html/domain1.com      and      /public_html/domain2.com
I try to load XML file from domain2.com into domain1.com without using cross-domain policy file (since it doesn’t work on xml files in my case).
So the idea is to use php file in order to load XML and read it back to flash.
I’ve found an interesting scripts that seems to do the job but unfortunately I can't get it to work. In my opinion there is somewhere problem with AS3 part. Please take a look.
Here are the AS3/PHP scripts:
AS3 (.swf in www.domain1.com):
// location of the xml that you would like to load, full http address
var xmlLoc:String = "http://www.domain2.com/MyFile.xml";
// location of the php xml grabber file, in relation to the .swf
var phpLoc:String = "loadXML.php";
var xml:XML;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(phpLoc+"?location="+escape(xmlLoc) );
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoaded);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOErrorHandler);
loader.load(request);
function onIOErrorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
    trace("There was an error with the xml file "+e);
function onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void {
    trace("the rss feed has been loaded");
    xml = new XML(loader.data);
    // set to string, since it is passed back from php as an object
    xml = XML(xml.toString());
    xml_txt.text = xml;
PHP (loadXML.php in www.domain1.com):
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$location = "";
if(isset($_GET["location"])) {
    $location = $_GET["location"];
    $location = urldecode($location);
$xml_string = getData($location);
// pass the url encoded vars back to Flash
echo $xml_string;
//cURLs a URL and returns it
function getData($query) {
    // create curl resource
    $ch = curl_init();
    // cURL url
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query);
    //Set some necessary params for using CURL
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   //Execute the curl function, and decode the returned JSON data
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    return $result;
    // close curl resource to free up system resources
    curl_close($ch);
?>

I think you might be right about permissions/settings on the server for php. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to adjust them.
So I wrote my own script - this time I used file path instead of http address of the XML file. It works fine in my case.
Here it is:
XML file on domain2.com:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/1.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/1.jpg" file_name= "1"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/2.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/2.jpg" file_name= "2"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/3.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/3.jpg" file_name= "3"> </image>
</gallery>
swf on domain1.com:
var imagesXML:XML;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MyPHPfile.php");
varURL.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varURL.data = variables;
var MyLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
MyLoader.dataFormat =URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
MyLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, XMLDone);
MyLoader.load(varURL);
function XMLDone(event:Event):void {
    var imported_XML:Object = event.target.data.imported_XML;
    imagesXML = new XML(imported_XML);
   MyTextfield_1.text = imagesXML;
   MyTextfield_2.text = imagesXML.image[0].attribute("thumbPath"); // sample reference to attribute "thumbPath" of the first element
php file on domain1.com:
<?php
$xml_file = simplexml_load_file('../../domain2.com/galleries/gallery_1/MyXMLfile.xml'); // directory to XML file on the same server
$imported_XML = $xml_file->asXML();
print "imported_XML=" . $imported_XML;
?>
Regards
PS: for those who read the above discussion: the first and the second script work but you must test which one is better in your situation. The first script will also work between two domains on different servers. No cross domain policy file needed.

Sending xml file from client to servlet

Hi,
I am writing the server component of an applcation, such that it will receive xml files from the clients(standalone application similar to javaSwing stuff but it's coded in C#), and the servlet will have to extract the data from the xml file and update the mySql database. it will also fulfill the client's request for xmlFiles (and extract data from DB, format to xml file and send back to client)
I'm new to implementing the servlet receiving files from clients so would need some help.
I've got 3 questions to ask:
1) How does the servlet receive/returns the xml file from the client as a series of httpPost request/response. Do i send a File or the file's contents as a String to/from the client?
2) Is it also a must to use socket for the file transfers? I have read in other posts about sockets as well as HttpURLConnection but i don't quite understand.
3) When I send a file back to the client(client is standalone application written in C# whereas server is coded in java), what do i specify for the HttpResponse.setContentType() in my servlet? (i'm returning the xml file to client)
Would really appreciate for any help rendered. If you have any useful links, would appreciate them too. Thanks a lot.

I've got 3 questions to ask:
1) How does the servlet receive/returns the xml file
from the client as a series of httpPost
request/response. Do i send a File or the file's
contents as a String to/from the client?The server will listen on some port for requests. The client has to open a socket to this server to send the file as string to the server.
see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/index.html
>
2) Is it also a must to use socket for the file
transfers? I have read in other posts about sockets as
well as HttpURLConnection but i don't quite
understand.You use HttpURLConnection to make a request using the http protocol, instead of opening a socket and then writing the html headers yourself.
3) When I send a file back to the client(client is
standalone application written in C# whereas server is
coded in java), what do i specify for the
HttpResponse.setContentType() in my servlet? (i'm
returning the xml file to client)Its up to your receiving program how to interpret this though, so you probably dont need this.

Writing XML files

Hello all
There's a vast amount of information on the java.sun.com site about parsing XML files:
* creating DOM trees in memory from an XML file
* setting up event handlers to be called when an XML file is parsed
* transforming XML files using XSL.
However, I can find very little information anywhere about writing XML files in the first place! I'm already aware of two ways to do this:
(1) create a DOM in memory and write this to a file. If the data is large, though, this isn't feasible.
(2) just output the XML elements directly to some file as text. This doesn't take account of the encoding, or special characters, and the document is not necessarily then syntactically valid.
Is there some API which I haven't yet come across that is designed specifically for writing XML data to files? If it's built in to Java 2, then goodness knows how I've missed it all this time; if it's third-party, I'd be grateful for any links.
Thanks for your help

Access XML files from HTTP

Hi,
I need access XML file from HTTP. Server need parameters in the URL to generate XML files. For example, http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321.
I created a XML Data Server in ODI 11g. The JDBC Url should be jdbc:snps:xml?f=<filename>&s=<schema>&d=<DTD>.
However, it reports error when replaced the <filename> with "http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321".
I found it's caused by ampersand of the HTTP Url. I guess ODI treat custid=321 as JDBC parameter rather than HTTP parameter.
How to fill the JDBC Url in this situation?
Thanks,

i solved my problem by using the Socket object and controlling my file access by writing requests to the outputstream

XML editing from flash, any idea, suggestion

Hello,
I have created for a client a website dynamically loaded with
XML formatted content (XML Files), now the client wants to be able
to edit the contents of its site (CMS), the site displays several
things but more specifically a list of products, which you can see
by browsing the "PRODUCT RANGE" section of
http://www.cellap.com/.
I planned to use a php to rewrite the XML with the edited
data sent from the flash (oldData, newData), it works fine, except
that there are several problems:
-I use the "ereg_replace" command of PHP, which seems not to
handle correctly special charachters such as "*"...
-If the php is told to replace i.e. "FACE" with "FIGURE", it
will replace it everywhere on the XML, which is not what I want; so
maybe I'm not using the right technique; I know it'd be more easy
to do if the content was on a MySQL database, but the client wanted
XML, to be able to browse the site offline...
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Tks

loading yes. editing no.
you need some sort of server script to do the editing(php,
asp, cmf)

Creation of XML file from RFC

Hi Experts,
Iam getting input parameters to my RFC from JAVA.
With that data i have to create XML file from my RFC, and i have to send that file to third party.
Could you please tell me the total procedure.
I know how to create RFC, i need how to create XML and how to send to third party.
Thanks and regards,
Kumar.

HI,
Follow the procedure :
1.Get the schema by using add generated items according to particular RFC.
2.Then create the target schema.
3.Create the map file and mapp both the schemas.
After deployement follow the below steps
1.In BizTalk administration console create the send port to send the resulted XML to particular location.
2.Then configure the receive port with values(pipeline=xmlreceive;clientid,userid,pwd,sap gateway host;sap gateway service to connect the sap.
Now start the application !
Let me know if u still have a problem ?
