Writing XML without namespace?

Hi,
I have a "strange" xml schema in a system I need to export data to. It lacks any forms of namespace (possibly a converted DTD) and it seemd the FTP adapter (from BPEL) cant handle XML-types without namespaces.
Is there a way to do this without using an opaque adapter and writing the data as "text"?
The schema the file uses can be found here: http://services.agresso.com/schema/ABWSupplierCustomer/2004/07/02/ABWSupplierCustomer542.xsd
// Michael Medin

This works for both BPEL & ESB:
1. Build an XSD for the source system adapter/process with no XSD.
2. Build another XSD which acts like wrapper of original XSD.
3. In the Wrapper XSD include the actual xsd.This one is sample xsd which has the piece of code
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
       <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.example.org" targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/BPELProcess2"
      xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd" nxsd:version="DTD"
      elementFormDefault="qualified">
      <include schemaLocation="actual.xsd"/>
      </xsd:schema>The Target Namespace can be of any URL and this could be of anything.While polling the file or any JMS queue the adapter should include the wrapper xsd instead of actual xsd.This would read the file or any queue even if there is no namespace and the values can be transformed or assigned inside the process.
Peace,
G.

JMS Adapter getting xml without namespace

Hello,
We're using BPEL 10.1.3.4 and we need to integrate a legacy system with a new one. The legacy system writes in a JMS queue a simple xml message without namespaces (following although a specific schema). When in BPEL I try to get this xml I cannot access its elements and I'm getting errors like the following:
variable/ expression is empty
Which seems normal as bpel tries to access the element using namespaces.
I found this thread which seems to be the same issue Re: writing XML without namespace? but I cannot actually understand the approach.
Any help will be really usefull!
Thank you!

Hi,
Did the solution mentioned in the other thread worked for you? I am having the exact problem.
Thanks.

XML without namespace and prefix, modified package-info.java, JAX-WS option

Hello
I have created a consumer business service which will be called from JDEdwards EOne, pulls data from database and send it to Fusion Middleware.
SO, I have created proxy using JAX-WS option. And suggested in oracle doc, I created proxy outside OMW and then copied it to my project. XML payload is getting generated without namespace and prefix. After some research, I modified package-info.java. Now, I am able to send the payload and if test it locally from Jdeveloper and take xml output using marshaller I can see it has namespace and prefix as well. BUt, when I run this from server it does not have namespace and prefix.
Please help.
Thanks

Just to clerify,
The common complex types are StatusInfo, IdcProperty and IdcPropertyList. I ahve 3 more WSDL's with the exact same entires for those 3.

Writing XML without doing text processing

Hello,
In all examples I have when XML is written to a file the formatting is done my hand; That is, you have something like:
System.out.print("<Tag attr= " + val + "/>");
In .NET, on the other hand, you can just save a DOM XML Document with one line of code, something like:
doc.write("myxml.xml");
How do I save a DOM Document in Java without having to put in tags, attributes, quotes and all the other syntax by hand?
Thank you,
--Sergey

Thank you for answering, DrClap,
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. My question was: I have a DOM and I want to save it into a file (or write to a stream in a more general case) as code-efficiently as possible. That includes not doing the formating (putting in tags, comments etc) by hand.
The link you've given has a section on saving a DOM into a file but it seems to be much more complex than it needs to be. Their way of doing it involves transforms. Like I said, in .NET this would be a one-liner. Are you sure there is no faster way to do it in Java? I'd expect so because saving a DOM into a file looks like one of the most common tasks one might want to perform with XML...

Splitting XML Files without namespaces

Hello,
I have a file that looks similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<File>
<Header>
  <Location>Phoenix</Location>
  <Date>052214</Date>
</Header>
<Bill></Bill>
<Trailer>
  <Total>1076</Total>
</Trailer>
</File>
What I would like to do is split the file (<Bill> is repeating) and I understand I should be able to do this with an envelope schema. I've done some research and every example I'm coming across happens to have a namespace in the sample schema.
How can I accomplish the same thing without the namespace?
Do I need to add the namespace using the ESB Toolkit, and if so, am I supposed to add a namespace to the repeating element? I looked into that solution and couldn't understand how to add a namespace to the Bill element, only the root. Unfortunately I trashed
that approach and went with an orchestration. While that is working, it just doesn't seem right if I can accomplish this task in the receive stage.
Any help/encouragement would be appreciated.

The problem is that if you split the message on an element that has no namespace, you will need a Schema without namespace (in your case with a root element of "Bill" and no namespace).
Having Schemas without namespaces in BizTalk is bad practice and should, in general and if possible, be avoided.
So what I would do is create a custom Pipeline Component that (either using XDocument, XMLDocument or Regular Expression) appends a namespace to all "Bill" elements and also a namespace to the Root.
Apply the Component in the Decode Stage on your Receive Pipeline so that it is applied BEFORE the disassemble stage, and then create your "Bill" Schema with the newly appended Namespace, and also Apply the Batch namespace to your Envelope Schema.
An Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<b:File xmlns:b="http://Batch">
<Header>
<Location>Phoenix</Location>
<Date>052214</Date>
</Header>
<c:Bill xmlns:c="http://namespace"></c:Bill>
<c:Bill xmlns:c="http://namespace"></c:Bill>
<c:Bill xmlns:c="http://namespace"></c:Bill>
<c:Bill xmlns:c="http://namespace"></c:Bill>
<Trailer>
<Total>1076</Total>
</Trailer>

"encoding = UTF-8" missing while writing XML file using file Adapter

Hi,
We are facing an unique problem writing xml file using file adapter. The file is coming without the encoding part in the header of xml. An excerpt of the file that is getting generated:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<customerSet>
<user>
<externalID>51017</externalID>
<userInfo>
<employeeID>51017</employeeID>
<employeeType>Contractor</employeeType>
<userName/>
<firstName>Gail</firstName>
<lastName>Mikasa</lastName>
<email>[email protected]</email>
<costCenter>8506</costCenter>
<departmentCode/>
<departmentName>1200 Corp IT Exec 8506</departmentName>
<businessUnit>1200</businessUnit>
<jobTitle>HR Analyst 4</jobTitle>
<managerID>49541</managerID>
<division>290</division>
<companyName>HQ-Milpitas, US</companyName>
<workphone>
<number/>
</workphone>
<mobilePhone>
<number/>
</customerSet>
</user>
So if you see the header the "encoding=UTF-8" is missing after "version-1.0".
Do we need to configure any properties in File Adapter?? Or is it the standard way of rendering by the adapter.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance!!!

Message Mapping Issue with data without namespace

Hi,
I have a common xsd imported which has its own target namespace into my SWC namespace. Based on this xsd I have generated a Message Interface and webservice and given the wsdl to third party system for invoking my webservice.
The problem is I have done the message mapping based on xsd which has namespace but whereas the third party system which is consuming my webservice is sending the xml data without any namespace and because of which my mapping is failing (target structure is not getting generated as expected). I have tested the mapping with namespace and without namespace from IR already. I have explained this below with example.
I cannot change the xsd as it is a common and even cannot ask the end system to change the data format they are sending as they are sending the same data to some other systems also, which are not complaining.
How to resolve this issue in XI?
Actual xml data generated from my imported xsd (with namespace)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="http://employee/types">
   <ns0:EmployeeDetails>
      <ns0:EmployeeId>12</ns0:EmployeeId>
        <ns0:EmployeeName>XYZ</ns0:EmployeeName>
</ns0:EmployeeDetails>
</ns0:Root>
Actual Data coming from third party system (without namespace)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root>
   <EmployeeDetails>
      <EmployeeId>12</EmployeeId>
        <EmployeeName>XYZ</EmployeeName>
</EmployeeDetails>
</Root>
Thanks
Amit

Just wild guess:)
I am not 100% sure but i guess XSLT mapping does not checks the incoming payload against the sender message type.Within XSLT mapping you can add/remove namespace as you would like,use this XSLT mapping before your actual message mapping in interface mapping.
I am saying this coz recently i was able to generate XSLT mapping(in altova Map Transform) without even specifying any sender or receiver Message type and it worked just fine.
Thanx

Problem writing XML after opening dialog

I'm using ScriptUI to create and update XML in a document (using Document.XMLElements methods).
Before opening a Window with ScriptUI, I can read and write XML without problem.
But after opening a Window containing some ScriptUI resources, I can only read the existing XML BUT NOT WRITE IT!
My writing method is called from a button event :
var myXMLRootNode = /* instanciated */
myWindow.okButton = /* instanciated */
myWindow.okButton.onClick = function() { myXMLRootNode.xmlElements.add(myTag, object) };
myWindow.show();
It looks like the onClick callback works OK for reading (I can recover all existing values without problem) but not for writing.
Any idea ?

Hey!
Well, the thing is that you have to close dialog first before writing to document.
myWindow.okButton.onClick = function(){myWindow.close(1);};
var myWin = myWindow.show();
if(myWin == true){
myXMLRootNode.xmlElements.add(myTag, object);
Hope it helps!

NWDS adding prefix without namespace

Hi,
I'm facing an issue with a prefix without namespace.
I'm calling a webservice defined on XI from EP through a Service built in NWDS.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wn3="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:wn2="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema" xmlns:wn1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" x ... "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:wn4="http://iwaysoftware.com/iwaf/XI/System" xmlns:tns="http://iwaysoftware.com/iwaf/XI/System">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<wn4:EPSiebelActionMT>
<prt0:select/>
</wn4:EPSiebelActionMT>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Prefix 'prt0' is not mapped to a namespace but is added to the <select> node.
The call to XI leads to an error since XI seems to dislike undefined prefix.
What should be done ?
Thx,

Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace

I am not sure if this is the best practice approach but this is the problem I am ruining into. Below, I explain what I am doing:
1) What I am doing:
=============
Based on the oracle incubator example (http://coherence.oracle.com/display/INCUBATOR/Processing+Pattern+Examples); I am running a server and submitting tasks through a proxy application that submits them to ProcessingPatternConfigurator; let's call my task processReport.
a) my processReport is using spring and ibatis together, I created a utility static class to obtain a spring context and retrieves beans using the following lines ( see exhibit "A1 and A2" below).
b) when my task calls the context and that spring loads, it is failing with the error show in exhibit "B".
I suspect I am missing a lib? I googled the error and searched you site but could find a meaningful discussion on it. I guess my question is if this is not the best approach, how do I integrated with spring initializing beans and setting up ibatis framwork, providing beans and database access through Ibatis for each task ruining on the grid (processReport).
thanks
A1) processReport (submitted in the grid) uses this line
AbstractXmlApplicationContext ctx = (AbstractXmlApplicationContext) AmrContextUtil.getInstance();
          System.out.println("Classpath loaded. Executing Report...");
          ReportProcessor repProcessor = (ReportProcessor) ctx.getBean("reportProcessor");
A2) Here is the AmrContextUtil:
import org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public final class AmrContextUtil {
     private static AbstractApplicationContext ctx = null;
     public AmrContextUtil() {
          super();
     public final static synchronized AbstractApplicationContext getInstance(){
          if (ctx == null){
               ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:config/applicationContext.xml");
               setCtx(ctx);
          return ctx;
     public final static synchronized AbstractApplicationContext getCtx() {
          return ctx;
     public final static synchronized void setCtx(AbstractApplicationContext ctx) {
          AmrContextUtil.ctx = ctx;

My guess is that something is broken in the configuration of the cacheServer and its not finding
all of the dependencies that your process pattern application needs. Probably the best way
to debug this stuff is to define a static main in your runnable task which will make the call
to the run() method and invoke it as the main class using the identical settings (classpath,
run directory) that you are using to launch the Coherence cache server.

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

Transform XML without validating

Hi, I use Xalan to transform an XML file.
I use Tranformer.class, I just want to tranform the XML without validating the file.
In the parser class, you can use setValidate to avoid or not the validating action.
Do you know how to do the same with Transformer.class
Thanks C�dric

This one piqued my interest, and as no one had responded
yet I thought I'd poke around and see what's up.
I looked at the Transfermer class, and the javadoc pointed
me to the OutputKeys class, the only thing that looked
remotely interesting was the "STANDALONE" feature. I wonder
if you can set it to "true" and avoid the validation (as I
think Standalone implies, no DTD to validate against?)

Axis Web Service SOAP Response without namespace

Hi folks,
I use the Axis Framework and eclipse to create a Webservice. I wrote a Method which returns a List of customers(complex Element). When I execute the method I get the following result:
<soapenv:Body>
<getAllCustomersResponse>
<ns1:getAllCustomersReturn>
<ns1:email>[email protected]</ns1:email>
<ns1:id>5</ns1:id>
<ns1:name>Hendrik</ns1:name>
</ns1:getAllCustomersReturn>
<ns2:getAllCustomersReturn>
<ns2:email>[email protected]</ns1:email>
<ns2:id>6</ns1:id>
<ns2:name>Masen</ns1:name>
</ns2:getAllCustomersReturn>
</getAllCustomersResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
How can I configure Axis that I get the result without namespace like this: ?
<soapenv:Body>
<getAllCustomersResponse>
<getAllCustomersReturn>
<email>[email protected]</ns1:email>
<id>5</ns1:id>
<name>Hendrik</ns1:name>

</getAllCustomersReturn>
</getAllCustomersResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
Thanks for your help
Edited by: Heno on Apr 27, 2009 1:28 AM

I just had the same problem and solved it like this: I modified the WSDL slightly by removing the prefix from the reference to the element of the response message, as well as the "targetNamespace" in the xsd:schema segment of the WSDL. Like this, SAP is able to parse the response.
