XML and Class Implementation?

Hey everyone,
I'm new to this forum and pretty new to AS.
I've created a fairly simple navigation bar.
SWF Sample
What I'd really like to do make this entirely dynamic by
loading the images, tab names and hyperlink via XML (or an array).
That way, I could use the same SWF and edit it via XML. I
understand AS pretty well, but haven't wrapped my head around
implementing XML and extending classes and such.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. If you'd
like the FLA, just let me know.
Cheers,
Michael

XML can get complicated, because it deals with external
files, but on
the other hand, the XML class, which defines your the XML
object you'll
need, is like any other class in the ActionScript 2.0
Language Reference.
The XML class entry is your one-stop shop for all the
functionality of that
object, including its properties (characteristics), methods
(things it can
do), and events (things it can react to).
Here's a free tutorial on XML in Flash, from Community MX.
http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=E399FF13E4DD1CB3
This was written before AS2 strong typing was in fashion. By
that, I
mean the post colon suffix you'll see after variable
declarations (var
myNum:Number = 5, rather than var myNum = 5). But even so,
it's a good
article and should give you a head start.
As for writing and extending classes, I'll recommend Joey
Lott's
three-part ActionScript 2.0 Primer.

Between the two of those, you've got a bit of reading ahead
of you, but
it's well worth it. :)

Strip off the base64 content from an XML and saving the rest in streaming fashion using XML Reader Class.

Hi,
I'm presently working in a scenario, where i need to read an XML (having base64 encoded images) using XmlReader class in a streaming fashion (considering the performance) .
1) I have to strip offs the base64 encoded contents from the xml (front & back image node).
2) Than saving the remaining XML (without base64 content) .
Sample XML:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<tran>
<tranheader>
<feild1></feild1>
</tranheader>
<item>
<fields></fields>
<image>

How to set buildID.xml and custom.properties in SDK

Hello,
I just completed a new build deployment of SAP ME5.2, because after I deployed the new version, I don't think I have set a
correct version number.Can you someone give me a sample how to set the buildID.xml and custom.properties? I am a new on the SAP ME5.2
The Base version is ME_Base_5.2.5.16.5_netweaver-71_Update.zip and
MEClient_Base_5.2.5.16.5_netweaver-71_Update.zip. the HB customzation
version is ME_xxxxxx_2.0.0.0.x_netweaver-71.
Within the sap note 1484551, you mentioned we need change the
SDKInstallDir/build/buildID.xml file, here is the context of the file:

Ejb-jar.xml and orion-ejb-jar.xml configuration issue

Chris,
We have an application that uses the Oracle 10g Application Server and WebSphere MQ v5.3 w/ fixpack 9.
Our application is a J2EE messaging system which essentially consists of Message Driven Beans, the EJB
realization of the J2EE Java Message Service (JMS) API. Our application has Message Driven Beans which
listen to queues and send messages to queues -- a simple messaging system. Currently we can listen to queues, but
cannot send messages to queues in the Oracle 10g Application Server environment.
Any J2EE application server has its own implementation of Java Naming Directory Interface (JNDI) API that
deployed J2EE applications utilize to lookup resources such as Data Sources, JMS Destinations (i.e. MQ Queue),
JMS QueueConnectionFactories (i.e. MQ QManagers).
Our application uses the 3rd party JMS Provider, WebSphere MQ.
MQ ships with a JMSAdmin tool which allows one to create JMS administered objects (i.e. objects a java
application searches for in some JNDI directory) that reside in some JNDI context. We create a JNDI context for
MQ resources, queues and QManagers. We configure the MQ provided
JMSAdmin tool with two property name/value pairs:
PROVIDER_URL=file:/opt/mqm/JNDI-Directory
INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory
A resultant .bindings file is created in /opt/mqm/JNDI-Directory which represents our JDNI context
containing our JMS administered objects. A standalone java application that needs to directly access this
JNDI context can simply conduct a JNDI lookup on the following context: "java:comp/resource/MQSeries/". An
example of how a standalone application would lookup a JMS administered object named "qNumber1" would be to
lookup "java:comp/resource/MQSeries/qNumber1". This lookup would result in the standalone java application
having a JMS reference to an MQ Queue.
There is a major difference in how an enterprise EJB application deployed into a J2EE Container (Oracle 10g App Server)
conducts a JNDI lookup on a 3rd party resource such as MQ as a JMS Provider. A typical EJB application deployed
into a J2EE container as an .ear (enterprise archive) file has implicit access to the application server's own
JNDI context. This JNDI context is usually "java:comp/env/". Looking up the Application Server's own Data Source or
it's own JMS Resources is easy. An application that needs references to these Application Server provided resources
simply conducts a lookup for "java:comp/env/jms/someQ" or "java:comp/env/jdbc/myDataSource".
The problem we face is mapping our MQ JNDI context to the Oracle App Server's own JNDI context. We believe this is
accomplished through mappings defined in both the ejb-jar.xml (EJB Descriptor) and the application server specific
counterpart, orion-ejb-jar.xml. Note that Oracle 10g Application Server uses the popular orion J2EE container for
hosting J2EE enterpise applications.
Our Message Driven Beans (MDBs)currently listen to the Queue at the JNDI location "prodQ". Our problem is that we cannot
get our MDB to send messages to any queues. Note that the MQ implementation of the queues and Queue Managers work
flawlessly with standalone java applications. It's safe to say that the MQ objects are working.
We are looking for a solid example of how the ejb-jar.xml and the orion-ejb-jar.xml map 3rd party JMS provider
JNDI locations to the App Server's JNDI context.
Below is how we have attempted to configure our own ejb-jar.xml and orion-ejb-jar.xml:

</deployment-plan>You can see which files can be external and which can be not. The weblogic-ejb-jar.xml can be external
but in this case you need a deployment plan to point weblogic to the file. The ejb-jar.xml cannot be
external (see external=false)
The benefit of storing the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml is that your administrator can fine tune certain
configurations by using a deployment plan, instead of having to extract the contents from the jar file
and then repackage it again.
No need to worry about a clustered environment, you can place the jar and the deployment plan
on the server where the admin server is located, when you deploy an application you deploy it to
the cluster and everything is taken care off.

WebLogic 11g EAR EJB Classpath and class loaders

All,
I have been having issues migrating Spring based EJB applications from OC4J to WebLogic 11g (10.3.1). I have been in communication with Oracle who has suggested a work around however I am keen to see if anyone else can suggest a solution.
The application is dependant on stateless session EJB beans that communicate with a Spring managed service tier to perform the business logic and database access. PitchFork is used to inject the Spring managers into the EJB’s using the spring-ejb-jar.xml configuration file. Note originally I was using the SpringBeanAutowiringInterceptor however I could not get this to work. See WebLogic 11g and Spring beens injected into EJB for details.
When the application is deployed packaging all the dependant jars within the APP-INF\lib folder I get a verity of errors from the following InvalidClassException, NoSuchMethodError, AbstractMethodError and IllegalArgumentException. I am using Spring 2.5.3 to match the supported WebLogic version. Note within the EAR application.xml the library-directory is set to APP-INF/lib. The issue appears to be Spring, PitchFork, commons-logging and aspectj libraries are being loaded form WebLogic and do not have visibility on jars within the application or have been modified when bundled for WebLogic. An example of this is the PitchFork jar within WebLogic has been changed excluding the spi package resulting in java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.jee.spi.PitchforkUtilsImpl errors.
Moving the jars to the domain library path does not resolve any of the issues. I have been unable to successfully deploy the application picking up the application jars using the prefer-application-packages configuration.
Oracle has advised me to deploy the libraries into the WebLogic system classpath by modifying the startWebLogic command to load the libraries into the classpath. I am concerned that modifying the system classpath will result in an unstable WebLogic server as I will be replacing modified jar files packages with WebLogic (such as PitchFork). This will also limit the applications that can be deployed within the server as each application must use the same libraries and versions (as the application ibraries are leing ignored).
Has anyone else hit this issue and corrected it? Can anyone think of an alternative solution?
Regards
Neil

Hi,
I am in the process of updating the tracking bug# 331569 with copies of the eclipse EAR/WAR projects and the EAR for these scenarios. Here are some details on how I got past the 2nd CCE on the org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider class (not the javax one)
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=331569
Essentially an SE persistence unit running both JPA 2.0 api and the 2.0 XSD schema work fine. I will next retest the EE case with variations of the 3 types of injection on the SSB or Servlet.
Update: There are 3 (possibly 4) issues here (all of these may become obsolete when the next WLS version ships)Initially I got the same 2.0 schema error and the ClassCastException on org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider
It turns out that my import of the 2 eclipse projects from my bug # 296271 for WebLogic 10.3.2.0 lost their facets(specifically the dynamic web facet) because I associated them with a different WebLogic 10.3.3.0. - this caused the CCE I was experiencing like Sri.
Anyways, after creating an EAR/Web project combination from scratch in eclipse associated with the 10.3.3.0 instance - I predeployed/deployed/ran fine - even with the 2.0 schema - in SE bootstrap mode (no EE yet).
Reproduction Procedure:
redoing project from scratch as I noticed that the war was not at the root of the ear - it was a jar in the app-inf/lib dir - my imported eclipse project was not referenced correctly as a web module facet- create empty EAR and WAR project with references
- download and open my EAR and WAR project code from bug # 296271
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=296271
- do essentially all the steps in the page below (I paraphrase for re-verification)
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Development/JPA_2.0/weblogic#DI_1.1:_Alternative_3:_Application_Level_Shared_Library_-InUse
- copy applicationService, entity and FrontController servlet code into new projects
- create persistence.xml and MANIFEST.MF manifest in src\META-INF
- update manifest
Class-Path: APP-INF/lib/eclipselink.jar
APP-INF/lib/javax.persistence_2.0.0.v200911041116.jar
- copy both javax.persistence 2.0 and eclipselink 2.x jars to APP-INF/lib
- change ordering of WebLogic library modules classpath reference (javax.persistence 1.0) to ear reference (2.0 version)
- update web.xml with servlet tags
- update weblogic.xml with new context root
- make the persistence unit name the same in persistence.xml and ApplicationManagedService
- update weblogic-application.xml with prefer-application-packages overrides
<wls:prefer-application-packages>
<wls:package-name>javax.persistence.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>org.eclipse.persistence.*</wls:package-name>
</wls:prefer-application-packages>
- enable server redirect logging

<property name="eclipselink.logging.logger" value="DefaultLogger"/>
- start WebLogic 10.3.3.0
- deploy (run on) server from eclipse or export ear to auto deploy directory
1) JPA 2.0 XSD usage on 10.3.3.0
- I reproduced this issue with a bad EAR
- was able to use the 2.0 schema within the WAR-only application managed EAR

2) CCE on JPA provider implementation class
Error instantiating the Persistence Provider class org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider of the PersistenceUnit example2: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider
- I reproduced and fixed this one (was Eclipse project facet issue) - EAR was wrong
- was able to run JPA 2.0 code fine on an SE PU (predeploy/deploy together)
- EE injection should not work but I will post an example EAR anyway
log[EL Example]: enterprise: JPA 2.0 Metamodel: MetamodelImpl@56287508 [ 3 Types: , 1 ManagedTypes: , 1 EntityTypes: , 0 MappedSuperclassTypes: , 0 EmbeddableTypes: ]
3) CCE on JPA spec interface class
- I could not reproduce this one
Re: WebLogic 11g EAR EJB Classpath and class loaders
Error processing persistence unit PT of module pt: Error instantiating the Persistence Provider class org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider of the PersistenceUnit PT: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider cannot be cast to javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider
4) CCE on fallback Kodo JPA provider (if an invalid say 2.1 JPA XSD schema is referenced)
java.lang.ClassCastException: kodo.persistence.PersistenceProviderImpl
at javax.persistence.Persistence.findAllProviders(Persistence.java:186)
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax/persistence/EntityManager.getMetamodel()Ljavax/persistence/metamodel/Metamodel;
- reproduced by using the 1.0 javax.persistence jar (but named as the 2.0 one in APP-INF/lib)
- fixed by using either the 1.0 or 2.0 JPA XSD schema and using the correct 2.0 spec jar
thank you

Need server.xml and web.xml for connection pooling

hi guys,
I am having lots of problem implementing the Connection Pool. I want to use the Tomcat's Connection pool classes and not my connection pool.
I have gone through lots of problem trying to configure it.
I got the range of errors. Has someone worked on this. Does it work with Tomcat 4.1 and Oracle 8i. Can anyone provide any links or previous posts to help me out.
If someone can paste their working server.xml and web.xml then that would be really grt.
Any kind of help would be really helpful.
Amit

Tomcat does not have a connection pooling mechanism. I've used Apache Commons DBCP with Tomcat although with PostgreSQL. It works great.
Nothing in my web.xml gets modified. Only server.xml needs to be updated for DBCP. The Tomcat JNDI Datasource documentation is very good and should get you through.

Multiple plugtmp-1 plugtmp-2 etc. in local\temp folder stay , crossdomain.xml and other files containing visited websitenames created while private browsing

OS = Windows 7
When I visit a site like youtube whith private browsing enabled and with the add-on named "shockwave flash" in firefox add-on list installed and activate the flashplayer by going to a video the following files are created in the folder C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\plugtmp-1
plugin-crossdomain.xml
plugin-strings-nl_NL-vflLqJ7vu.xlb
The contents of plugin-crossdomain contain both the "youtube.com" adress as "s.ytimg.com" and is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
-<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="s.ytimg.com"/> <allow-access-from domain="*.youtube.com"/> </cross-domain-policy>
The contents of the other file I will spare you cause I think those are less common when I visit other sites but I certainly don't trust the file. The crossdomain.xml I see when I visit most other flashpayer sites as well.
I've also noticed multiple plugin-crossdomain-1.xml and onwards in numbers, I just clicked a youtube video to test, got 6 of them in my temp plus a file named "plugin-read2" (no more NL file cause I changed my country, don't know how youtube knows where I'm from, but that's another subject, don't like that either). I just noticed one with a different code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*"/> </cross-domain-policy>
So I guess this one comprimises my browsing history a bit less since it doesn't contain a webadress. If these files are even meant to be deposited in my local\temp folder. The bigger problem occurs when they stay there even after using private browsing, after clearing history, after clearing internet temporary files, cache, whatever you can think of. Which they do in my case, got more than 50 plugtmp-# folders in the previous mentioned local\temp folder containing all website names I visited in the last months. There are a variety of files in them, mostly ASP and XML, some just say file. I have yet to witness such a duplicate folder creation since I started checking my temp (perhaps when firefox crashes? I'd say I've had about 50 crashes in recent months).
I started checking my temp because of the following Microsoft Security Essential warnings I received on 23-4-12:
Exploit:Java/CVE-2010-0840.HE
containerfile:C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache2196625541034777730.tmp

Microsoft Security Essentials informed me that these files were quarantained and deleted but when going to my temp file they were still there, I deleted them manually and began the great quest of finding out what the multiple gigabytes of other files and folders were doing in that temp folder and not being deleted with the usual clearing options within firefox (and IE).
Note that I have set my adobe flasplayer settings to the most private intense I could think of while doing these tests (don't allow data storage for all websites, disable peer-to peer stuff, don't remember exactly anymore, etc.). I found it highly suspicious that i needed to change these settings online on an adobe website, is that correct? When right-clicking a video only limited privacy options are available which is why I tried the website thing.
After the inital discovery of the java exploit (which was discovered by MSE shortly after I installed and started my first scan with Malwarebytes, which in turn made me suspicious whether I had even downloaded the right malwarebytes, but no indication in the filename if I google it). Malwarebytes found nothing, MSE found nothing after it said it removed the files, yet it didn't remove them, manually scanning these jar_cache files with both malwarevytes and MSE resulted in nothing. Just to be sure, I deleted them anyways like I said earlier. No new jar_cache files have been created, no exploits detected since then. CCleaner has cleaned most of my temp folder, I did the rest, am blocking all cookies (except for now shortly), noscript add-on has been running a while on my firefox (V 3.6.26) to block most javascripts except from sites like youtube. I've had almost the same problem using similar manual solutions a couple of months ago, and a couple of months before that (clearing all the multiple tmp folders, removing or renaming jar_cache manually, running various antmalware software, full scan not finding a thing afterwards, installing extra add-ons to increase my security, this time it's BetterPrivacy which I found through a mozilla firefox https connection, I hope, which showed me nicely how adobe flash was still storing LSO's even after setting all storage settings to 0 kb and such on the adobe website, enabling private browsing in firefox crushed those little trolls, but still plugtmp trolls are being created, help me crush them please, they confuse me when I'm looking for a real threat but I still want to use flash, IE doesn't need those folders and files, or does it store them somewhere else?).
I'm sorry for the long story and many questions, hope it doesn't scare you away from helping me fight this. I suspect it's people wanting to belong to the hackergroup Anonymous who are doing this to my system and repeating their tricks (or the virus is still there, but I've done many antivirus scans with different programs so no need to suggest that option to me, they don't find it or I run into it after a while again, so far, have not seen jar_cache show up). Obviously, you may focus on the questions pertaining firefox and plugtmp folders, but if you can help me with any information regarding those exploits I would be extremely grateful, I've read alot but there isn't much specific information for checking where it comes from when all the anti-virus scanners don't detect anything anymore and don't block it incoming. I also have downloaded and installed process monitor but it crashes when I try to run it. The first time I tried to run it it lasted the longest, now it crashes after a few seconds, I just saw the number of events run up to almost a million and lots of cpu usage. When it crashed everything returned back to normal, or at least that's what I'm supposed to think I guess. I'll follow up on that one on their forum, but you can tell me if the program is ligit or not (it has a microsoft digital signature, or the name micosoft is used in that signature).

update:
I haven't upgraded my firefox yet because of a "TVU Web Player" plugin that isn't supported in the new firefox and I'm using it occasionally, couldn't find an upgrade for it. Most of my other plugins are upgraded in the green (according to mozilla websitechecker):
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31 (green)
Shockwave for Director (green - from Adobe I think)
Shockwave Flash (green - why do I even need 2 of these adobe add-ons? can I remove one? I removed everything else i could find except the reader i think, I found AdobeARM and Adobe Acrobat several versions, very confusing with names constantly switching around)
Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.310.5 (green, grrr, again a second java, why do they do this stuff, to annoy people who are plagued with java and flash exploits? make it more complicating?)
Adobe Acrobat (green, great, it's still there, well I guess this is the reader then)
TVU Web Player for FireFox (grey - mentioned it already)
Silverlight Plug-In (yellow - hardly use it, I think, unless it's automatic without my knowing, perhaps I watched one stream with it once, I'd like to remove it, but just in case I need it, don't remember why I didn't update, perhaps a conflict, perhaps because I don't use it, or it didn't report a threat like java and doesn't create unwantend and history compromising temp files)
Google Update (grey - can I remove? what will i lose? don't remember installing it, and if I didn't, why didn't firefox block it?)
Veetle TV Core (grey)
Veetle TV Player (grey - using this for watching streams on veetle.com, probably needs the Core, deleted the broadcaster that was there earlier, never chose to install that, can't firefox regulate that when installing different components? or did i just miss that option and assumed I needed when I was installing veetle add-on?)
Well, that's the list i get when checking on your site, when i use my own browseroptions to check add-ons I get a slightly different and longer list including a few I have already turned off (which also doesn't seem very secure to me, what's the point in using your site then for anything other than updates?), here are the differences in MY list:
I can see 2 versions of Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31, (thanks firefox for not being able to copy-paste this)
one "Classic Java plug-in for Netscape and Mozilla"
the other is "next generation plug-in for Mozilla browsers".
I think I'll just turn off the Netscape and Mozilla one, don't trust it, why would I need 2? There I did it, no crashes, screw java :P
There's also a Mozilla Default plugin listed there, why does firefox list it there without any further information whether I need it or not or whether it really originates from Mozilla firefox? It doesn't even show up when I use your website plugin checker, so is there no easy way by watching this list for me to determin I can skip worrying about it?
There's also some old ones that I recently deactivated still listed like windows live photo gallery, never remember adding that one either or needing it for anything and as usual, right-clicking and "visit homepage" is greyed out, just as it is for the many java crap add-ons I encountered so far.
Doing a quick check, the only homepage I can visit is the veetle one. The rest are greyed out. I also have several "Java Console" in my extentions tab, I deactivated all but the one with the highest number. Still no Java Console visible though, even after going to start/search "java", clicking java file and changing the settings there to "show" console instead of "hide" (can't remember exact details).
There's some other extentions from noscript, TVU webplayer again, ADblock Plus and now also BetterPrivacy (sidenote, a default.LSO remains after cleanup correct? How do I know that one isn't doing anything nasty if it's code has been changed or is being changed? To prevent other LSO's I need to use both private browsing and change all kinds of restrictions online for adobe flashplayer, can anyone say absurd!!! if you think you're infected and want to improve your security? Sorry that rant was against Adobe, but it's really against Anonymous, no offense).

PL/SQL and Java implementation

Hi all,
We need to implement a fast solution for reporting to our existing web application. Application is totally based on stored procedures written in PL/SQL.
We have already java classes for drawing different types of charts
named Chartdirector (http://www.advsofteng.com/)
This library can create chart images in memory.
I have already read about calling java classes from PL/SQL and SQLJ too.
My questions are;
1. Is this safe to include classes to database and create
reports by using loadjava in real life. I mean not in theory, in real life?
2. Is there any experiments of the audience about this method?
3. Would it be any performance problems about this?
4. Should i prefer to use any Java container and jsps instead of this method?
I will continue to research for necessary steps after i could see the light :)
Thank you to all,
Regards,
Gokhan

> 1. Is this safe to include classes to database and create
reports by using loadjava in real life. I mean not in theory, in real life?
Yes.
> 2. Is there any experiments of the audience about this method?
Experiments and actual implementation - yes. It works. Granted, it does not always work as easy as running the Java code from the command line. But it does work.
> 3. Would it be any performance problems about this?
This is a potential problem with any software code.
4. Should i prefer to use any Java container and jsps instead of this method?
To be honest, I prefer not using Java for web graphics as I'm not impressed with the quality and flexibility of the graphs generated. I prefer using (and paying for commercial use) for the JPGraph classes for PHP - and using that from PL/SQL (via Zend Core for Oracle).
Another option is to use SVG and generated SVG directly from PL/SQL. But this requires a browser plugin and SVG also does not look that great. (this is btw what Oracle's HTMLDB does and uses)

Parsing XML and Storing values in instance variable

hi,
i'm new to XML.
here i'm trying to parse an XML and store their element data to the instance variable.
in my main method i'm tried to print the instance variable. but it shows "" (ie it print nothing ).
i know the reason, its becas of the the endElement() event generated and it invokes the characters() and assigns "" to the instance variable.
my main perspective is to store the element data in instance variable.
thanks in advance.

<address>Singapore</address>
<country>sg</country>
<telephone>123456</telephone>
<fax>123155</fax>
</company>
</coyprofile_result>

I believe that the problem has to do with the value you assign to ctelement. You are assigning the value of localName to ctElement, however for the element: <name>...</name> the localname is empty string i.e. "", but qName equals "name". Because you are assigning empty string to ctElement, when you do the comparison in characters of ctElement to "name" it will always be false. So in startElement change it to ctElement = qName; Try it and see if it works. I have produced similar programs and it works for me.
Hope this helps.

New to XML and Oracle

Just trying to clarify some issues as I try and learn about XML, and specifically how it integrates into the DB.
1 - Is there a way with Oracle tools for me to get an XSD of an existing 9i relational schema? We are not currently using the XML DB, but our middleware developers would like to have an up to date XSD to use for their internal mapping.
2 - Is there any way that I can keep that XSD up-to-date automatically, so I get a new one whenever the schema gets updated?
3 - If I wanted to investigate storing XML docs within the DB in native XML format, I need to have an XML DB, correct? Is this DB construct maintained seperatelly from my "normal" relational schema? or are they kept in sync by Oracle?
I know these may all be real basic questions, but as I said, I'm new to XML and Oracle. I am reading as much as I can, but there are a lot of docs out there.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi
1. On my opinion such a tool doesn't exists. Some parts can be implemented elsewhere, but not as described by you... e.g. with XSU if you specify the parameter "withschema" the XSD of the executed statement is generated. Another example is to use DBMS_METADATA to dump the data dictionary in XML (but not XSD, of course you could write your own XSLT to do this transformation...).
2. -
3. If you use XSD-based tables the XSD and the relational model are stored separately in the data dictionary. Therefore if you change the XSD you have to drop/create the XSD-based table... no schema evolution yet.

Override JNDI names in persistence.xml and @resource annotation

I have a Java EE 7 application that I am developing for use with both GlassFish and WildFly, but I have discovered that both application servers use a slightly different format for specifying JNDI names.
In GlassFish the persistence.xml file references the data source jdbc/myDataSouce, but in WildFly the data source needs to be java:/jdbc/myDataSource.The same is also true for classes that are annotated with @Resource. In GlassFish the annotation for a class using JavaMail would be @Resource(name = "mail/myMailSession"), but to deploy onto WildFly this would need to be @Resource(name = "java:mail/myMailSession").
The only solution I've got at present is using Maven to create two different releases of the EAR file, with one EAR file containing a persistence.xml file with the data source jdbc/myDataSouce for use with GlassFish, and the second EAR file containing a persistence.xml file with the data source java:/jdbc/myDataSource for use with WildFly. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution for the @Resource annotation.
I've taken a look at the documentation for glassfish-application.xml and glassfish-ejb-jar.xml and have tried using resource-ref to override the JNDI names but the application fails to deploy due to an error in the name.
My question is does GlassFish provide any capability to override the JNDI names specified in the persistence.xml file and classes with the @resource annotation?
Many Thanks
Paul

Have you been able to solve this? I'm attempting to understand what Web Server 7 can do with regard to Java Persistence and what elements of it require Glassfish.
I've also spent great amounts of time in WS6.1 trying to figure out why a JNDI resource couldn't be found. The rules of thumb I've learned are:
- Try dropping the *'java:/comp/env/* prefix; just use jdbc/pact part
- Make sure all referrences (in web.xml and sun-web.xml) are identical with regard to that name.
I'm hoping you're not still dealing with this (it's been two months!) but if anybody else stumbles on this, maybe it'll help them.

XML and Oracle 8i Lite

Hi Wizards
I'm in an endeavour to do the following things -
1.Generate XML output from Oracle 8i Lite database
2.Modify the XML and update the database taking the modified XML.
My java platform is JDK 1.2. I've used the XML SQL Utility for Java, and in doing so i've been successful with the 1st step. I've used the Oracle 8.1.6SDK JDBC Driver which is compatible with JDK 2.The code fragment is like the following -
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.math.*;
import oracle.xml.sql.query.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class orasql1
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException
Connection conn = null;
String tabName = "emp";
try {
Class.forName("oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:Polite:POlite", "SYSTEM", "manager");
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Oracle Connection error\t:");
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(0);
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, "select * from " + tabName);
qry.setRowsetTag("SCHEMADOC_1");
qry.setRowTag("EMPLOYEE");
qry.setStyleSheet("emp.xsl");
String xmlString = qry.getXMLString(true);
conn.close();
try {
File output = new File("emp.xml");
FileWriter xmlFile = new FileWriter(output);
xmlFile.write(xmlString,0,xmlString.length());
xmlFile.close();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Output file error\t:");
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(0);
I am putting some sample code for step 2 in the following section -
import oracle.xml.sql.dml.*;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import java.net.*;
public class orasql2
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException
Connection conn = null;
String tabName = "emp";
String fileName = "emp.xml";
try {
Class.forName("oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:Polite:POlite", "SYSTEM", "manager");
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("An error has occurred.");
System.out.println("Please check your CLASSPATH variable..");
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(0);
OracleXMLSave save = new OracleXMLSave(conn, tabName);
URL url = save.createURL(fileName);
save.setRowTag("SCHEMADOC_1");
int rowCount = save.insertXML(url);
System.out.println("Successfully inserted "+rowCount+" rows into "+tabName);
conn.close();
Compiling the above code is fine, no errors! But while running the application I get the error -
Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: java.lang.Class
CastException: oracle.lite.poljdbc.OracleStatement
at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(OracleXMLSave.java:345)
at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(OracleXMLSave.java:248)
at orasql2.main(orasql2.java:27)
My question is whether this thing can be done at all using Oracle 8i Lite? If so then how?
Waiting for ur advices.

It looks like be a classpath issue. Would you check with the class name.

Difference Between Business Object And Class Object

Hi all,
Can any one tel me the difference between business object and class Object....
Thanks...
..Ashish

Hello Ashish
A business object is a sematic term whereas a class (object) is a technical term.
Business objects are all important objects within R/3 e.g. sales order, customer, invoice, etc.
The business objects are defined in the BOR (transaction SWO1). The have so-called "methods" like
BusinessObject.Create
BusinessObject.GetDetail
BusinessObject.Change
which are implemented (usually) by BAPIs, e.g.:
Business Object = User
User.Create => BAPI_USER_CREATE1
User.GetDetail => BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL
CONCLUSION: Business Object >< Class (Object)
Regards
Uwe

Why java file name and class name are equal

could u explain why java file name and class name are equal in java

The relevant section of the JLS (?7.6):
When packages are stored in a file system (?7.2.1), the host system may choose to enforce the restriction that it is a compile-time error if a type is not found in a file under a name composed of the type name plus an extension (such as .java or .jav) if either of the following is true:
* The type is referred to by code in other compilation units of the package in which the type is declared.
* The type is declared public (and therefore is potentially accessible from code in other packages).
This restriction implies that there must be at most one such type per compilation unit. This restriction makes it easy for a compiler for the Java programming language or an implementation of the Java virtual machine to find a named class within a package; for example, the source code for a public type wet.sprocket.Toad would be found in a file Toad.java in the directory wet/sprocket, and the corresponding object code would be found in the file Toad.class in the same directory.
When packages are stored in a database (?7.2.2), the host system must not impose such restrictions. In practice, many programmers choose to put each class or interface type in its own compilation unit, whether or not it is public or is referred to by code in other compilation units.

Modify service endpoint in webservices.xml throws class not found for link

Hello, we had a problem for serveral days and have not found any solutions googling. We read the documentation and seems ok, so we are a little desesperate.
We have a WebService project in Oracle Eclipse included in Weblogic 10.3.5 with the following classes:
- An EJB (org.test.TestWSImpl) with the @WebService annotation:
@WebService(serviceName = "TestService", portName = "testService", targetNamespace = "testNameSpace",
endpointInterface = "test.TestWS", wsdlLocation = "/wsdls/test.wsdl")
- When deploying the ear all runs ok. Now, for serveral business reasons, we need to change the defalut service URI so we added a webservices.xml and weblogic-webservices.xml.
The webservices.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<webservices xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.2">

               <service-endpoint-interface>test.TestWS</service-endpoint-interface>
               <service-impl-bean>
                    <ejb-link>TestWSImpl</ejb-link>
               </service-impl-bean>
          </port-component>
     </webservice-description>
</webservices>
In the weblogic-webservices.xml we define the new endpoint:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<weblogic-webservices

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Sorry for the copy; a browser error. Please delete this thread

We have found a solution removing the eclipse webservice project and adding the EJB inside the EJB project module.
