First i have to get the attribute values from the XML file
and display in AdvancedDataGrid with tree structure.
Here i will send my XML file and MXML file...
Can u see and check my code............plzzz

So, I need to map attributes(COMMON and BOTANICAL) of XML data in the source with common and botanical elements of the XML in the target. How should I map attributes with elements in the XSL editor of the Mediator Transformation.
Thanks,

XML attribute 'with' reserved?

While working on a XMPP implementation I'm noticing the attribute 'with' keeps throwing errors when trying to access it to set or get the data from it. Is that a reserved word or something? Sort of makes this difficult considering 'with' is used heavily in the spec..
var xml:XML = <rootNode>
<item with="test" without="rest">cool</item>
</rootNode>;
trace(xml.item.@without); // no problem
//trace(xml.item.@with); // uncomment and you'll get error "Syntax error: expecting identifier before with."

It can be how you access it when considering reserved words. Try trace(xml.item.attribute("with")); or trace(xml.item.@["with"]);

Target XML attribute with XSLT

Hello, I have an xml file which looks like this: <PRODUCTS> <PRODUCT> <IMAGE href="file://./0001.tif"></IMAGE> </PRODUCT> <PRODUCT> <PRODUCTS> Is there a way to target the href attribute of the PRODUCT element with XSLT? Thanks

hi marco,
> Thank you gregor, I'll take a look to this reference; I'm total newby to

there is no short answer on this. it depends on your documents/data you
want to process, what to achieve and you're knowledge in scripting vs.
xslt. i use xmlRules for styling my documents, xslt for data transformation.
in general you've got more control, especially over the rendered
document, using xmlRules. if you want to process layout rules/guidelines
in dependency of the actual document you have to render it first.
complex data transformation and composition is better with xslt outside
of indesign. i prefer to prepare my data (select relevant data,
numbering, ...) with xslt.
cheers,
gregor

How to access XML attributes with JSTL

Hello,
I'm using the XML functions of JSTL. I'm trying to parse the following RSS feed.
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USNY0996
I can get it parsed and access the elements via JSTL, but is it possible to access the attributes of some of the elements?
For example, how can I get the city attribute out of
<yweather:location city="New York" region="NY" country="US" />

How to query for XML-attribute with XPATH

Hi,
Isn't there somebody, who can tell me how to query an Attribut of an XML-element correctly ?
All my trials lead to empty rows. What's worng in my XPATH-expresion ?
XML-file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmlexport>
<itsystem guid="e51b91d1-ab0f-11db-2cd7-001641105333">
<field fieldidentifier="currentVersion" />
<field fieldidentifier="marketdatacosts">0</field>
I can query fine the elements and sub-elements, but not attribute 'guid' of /xmlexport/itsystem. Here some trials, all lead
SELECT t.* FROM CORIA."xmlexport156_TAB", xmltable ('/xmlexport/itsystem ' passing object_value COLUMNS
GUID VARCHAR2(1000) path '[@guid=*]') t
various versions for Xpath:
path '[@guid="*"]'
path '/[@guid=*]'
path '[@guid=*]'
xmltable ('/xmlexport' ...
path '/itsystem/[@guid=*]'
... combinations of part 1 and 2
thanks for any hint, LaoDe

You can either get them directly, or fetch the attribute in your xquery and put them in returning xml fragment, then get them like normal element.
Method #1:
path '@guid'
Method #2:
xmltable(
let $is := /xmlexport/itsystem
return <r><guid>{$is/@guid}</guid></r>
passing object_value
columns guid varchar2(1000) path '/r/guid')

Hi,
I would suggest that you use a more simple library like Dom4j,
It is quite easy to use and is proven to have good performance on heavy tasks.
you can access xml attributes with a single line cod :
String value = element.attributeValue("Attribute name");you can download and view samples here : http://dom4j.sourceforge.net/

Using BPEL console testing with XML attributes

I'm having trouble with using an XML attribute in my BPEL process. When I put an attribute on my input element, the BPEL Console test page no longer works. Here's what I'm doing:
I create a synchronous new BPEL project in JDeveloper using the default input and output XSDs, and add a simple assign to assign the input to the output. When I deploy this and look at it in BPEL console, I can see the input field and enter my value to test.
Now I go back into JDeveloper and add an attribute to the input element, and then redeploy my process. Now when I go into BPEL console, the Initiate tab no longer has any field for me to enter my value. Clicking the XML Source radio button doesn't help either. (I also tried invoking the BPEL process web service through the app server control - same issue.)
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 with App Server 10.1.3.3.0. Does anyone know how to make the BPEL Console testing work with XSDs that contain attributes?
Thanks,
Skip

A bit more info on this. It doesn't appear that the problem is limited to the console tester. I created another BPEL process which calls my original process, and attempted to set the attribute on the input using the Assign activity. JDeveloper generated this:
<assign name="Assign_1">
<copy>
<from variable="inputVariable" part="payload"
query="/client:TestAttributes2ProcessRequest/client:input"/>
<to variable="Invoke_1_process_InputVariable" part="payload"
query="/ns1:TestAttributesProcessRequest/ns1:input"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from expression="'bob'"/>
<to variable="Invoke_1_process_InputVariable" part="payload"
query="/ns1:TestAttributesProcessRequest/ns1:input/@attribute1"/>
</copy>
</assign>
As you can see this is mapping a variable into the /TestAttributesProcessRequest/input element and then attempting to set the attribute of that element to the value 'bob'. This compiles just fine but when this code is executed, this error occurs:
Error in <assign> expression: <to> value is empty at line "87". The XPath expression : "" returns zero node, when applied to document shown below:
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement@7efe7efe
(Line 87 is query="/ns1:TestAttributesProcessRequest/ns1:input/@attribute1"/>)
Is there something wrong with this generated code? Do I need to do some kind of custom code to set attributes, instead of using the graphical tools in JDeveloper?

XML tag with attributes and one value via XSU

I need to generate a XML structure with attributes in the opening tag, and just one value in the body, like this:
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE NET-PRICE="0" CURRENCY="USD">9.99</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
Without an object type, I can just create tags like this
XML3
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>9.99</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
(with no attributes, but a single value) via the followig statement
SELECT sys_xmlgen ('9.99',
sys.xmlgenformattype.createFormat('PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE')
).getClobVal() "XML3"
FROM DUAL;
Having an object "productlisteprice_type", defined by
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE productlisteprice_type AS OBJECT
"@NET-PRICE" VARCHAR2(10),
"@CURRENCY" VARCHAR2(10),
"PRICE" VARCHAR2(20)
I just get XML like this
XML2
<PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE NET-PRICE="0" CURRENCY="USD">
<PRICE>9.99</PRICE>
</PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE>
(with attributes, but no direct value beneath the "PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE" tag) via the following statement
SELECT sys_xmlgen ( productlisteprice_type(0,'USD','9.99'),
sys.xmlgenformattype.createFormat('PRODUCT-LIST-PRICE')
).getClobVal() "XML2"
FROM DUAL;
Not what I need :-(
Are there any possibilities in XSU to get the needed XML code? Or do I have to do some post-production via XSQL???
Another question: Is it possible to use specific keywords like "online" as XML tagnames, via objects? The objects don't allow "online" as a field name...
Thanks in advance,
Holger

Create xml file with nested internla table or with header & item tables

Hi I have a requirement like, I need to create an xml file for header and item details. For 1 header there may be multiple line items.
I did search in forums some where I came to know that we can use XSL:IF to achieve this. but I could not able to do this.
I tried with using nested internal tables also but now luck.
can anybody please suggest how can we create xml for header and item detials.
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl"
xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml"
exclude-result-prefixes="asx"
>
<xsl:template match="/">
<OrbisomRequest>
 <xsl:attribute name="Version">
 <xsl:value-of select="11.1"/>
 </xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="IssuerID">
 <xsl:value-of select="1"/>
 </xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:for-each select="asx:abap[1]/asx:values[1]/T_FINAL[1]/*">
<CreateApprovedPurchaseRequest
 RerquestID="{VBLNR}"
 CommonName="User1"
 Amount="{WRBTR}"
 Comment="TestComment"
 CurrencyCode="978"
 PurchaseType="All"
 SupplierName="All"
 VCardAlias="PurchaseCard"
 ValidFrom="1M"
 CurrencyType="B">
 <CDFs>
 <Invoice> <xsl:value-of select="BELNR"/> </Invoice>
 <Amount> <xsl:value-of select="WRBTR"/> </Amount>
 </CDFs>
 </CreateApprovedPurchaseRequest>
 </xsl:for-each>
</OrbisomRequest>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
here belnr and wrbtr will be my item details. for each payment document I can have multiple invoices. in CDF I need to display the invoices for that particular payment document.
what conditions can I put there before CDFs to make the item internal table to loop based on header internal table.

Ranganadh.

Looks like you have already created the transformation "Z_ID"

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Hi,
you need to create three util class for that:-
XMLHandler
XMLParser
XMLBuilder
for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

File-Adapter: Variable substitution form payload XML-attribute

Hi experts,
is possible to use XML-attribute-content for variable substitution in file-Adapter?
extract from XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <all>
- <transaction file="filename">
- <table name="BPAADDRESS" options="insertIfUpdateFails">
- <record id="1">
<hkeycol name="BPAMAINHKEY">0010500345</hkeycol>
<hkeycol name="USAGE">Invoice</hkeycol>
</transaction>
I want to get the value "filename" = attribute file of transaction.
Is this possible?
Thanks a lot,
Florian

I have done this taking a field from the XML.
You have to map the location of the field within the XML...
Taken from:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm
Variable Substitution (Target Directory/File Name Scheme)
If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
● Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○ If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the message header:
sender_party, sender_service, receiver_party, receiver_service, interface_name, interface_namespace,
message_id (message ID with hyphens, for example 9fbe1ff1-9a0d-11d9-8665-cbf10a126331)
message_id_hex (message ID in hexadecimal format, for example 9fbe1ff19a0d11d98665cbf10a126331)
For example, if you want to specify the interface name from the message header in the target directory or in the file name scheme, enter message:interface_name as the reference.
If one of the message attributes contains characters that are not permitted in a file name, for example \, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |, then these characters are replaced by an underscore ("_").
○ If the variable refers to an element in XML schema, add the prefix payload: to the information under Reference. The reference then comprises a pseudo path description in the form of a comma-separated list with the schema namea,na,nameb,nb,....
namea,nameb,... corresponds to the element name and na,nb,... corresponds to the occurrence of the element name at the respective level in the document.
The description begins at the root of the document and ends at the respective element.
To reference the element that is in bold in the example, the following expression is used: payload:root,1,e1,1,e2,2
The parser searches for the first occurrence of the root element at the first level. It then searches for the first occurrence of e1 at the second level and for the second occurrence of e2 at the third level. The content of the last element (Example Value) is set as the value for a specified variable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<root>
<dummy>
 <e1>
 <e2>Data_1</e2>
 <f/>
 <g attr="abc">text</g>
 <e2>Data_2</e2>
 </e1>
</dummy>
<e1>
 <e2>illegal/value</e2>
 <f/>
 <g attr="abc">text</g>
 <e2 attr="fghij">Example Value</e2>
</e1>
</root>
● To disable the check the adapter performs for the element data, set the Disable Security Checks indicator.
Otherwise, the adapter checks whether the element data contains characters that could lead to security risks in the file system environment. The check includes the characters /, \, and ...

Can i have xml elements with same name but one is having attrbt..?

Hi all,
I am suppose to take input from one system into BPEL.That system is auto gererating xml file. But that file is strange. It has two xml element with
same name but with completely different sequence. First one is having two comlexTypes while second is having 5 simple types.
Now the difference is First element is having attribute while second is not.
So is that file is correct.?
thanks a lot.
/mishit

can you post the file? or load the file into JDeveloper and check the syntax or use XMLSpy for validation of the XML.

How to parse XML file with namesapce?

Hi,
 I am trying to parse an xml file having namespace. But no data is returned.
Sample Code:
public class XMLFileLoader
var xml:XML = new XML();
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/MyData.xml";
var myLoader:URLLoader = null;
public function XMLFileLoader()
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
myLoader= new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,download);
public function download(event:Event):void
myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
var ns:Namespace=myXML.namespace("xsi");
for(var prop:String in myXML)
 trace(prop);
//Alert.show(myXML..Parameters);
//trace("Data loadedww."+myXML.toString());
//Alert.show(myXML.DocumentInfo.attributes()+"test","Message");
The XML Contains the following format.
<Network xmlns="http://www.test.com/2005/test/omc/conf"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.test.com/2005/test/omc/conf/TestConfigurationEdition3proposal4.xsd">

Any sample code how to parse this kind of xml file with namespaces...

i have exactly the same problem with KXml2, but using a j2me-polish netbeans project.
i've tried to work around with similar ways like you, but none of them worked. now i've spent 3 days for solving this problem, i'm a bit disappointed :( what is wrong with setting the downloaded kxml2 jar path in libraries&resources?

Using XSLT to extract value of a XML node with namespace

I have a XML source code here.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:job="http://www.pageuppeople.com">
<channel>
 <title>SMH Jobs</title>
 <link>internalrecruitment.smhgroup.com.au/jobsrss.ashx?stp=di</link>
 <description>A listing of jobs available here</description>
 <item>
 <title>eCommerce Optimisation Advisor</title>
 <description>A new and exciting opportunity exists for an experienced eCommerce Advisor to join</description>
 <job:location PUReferenceID="3711">Sydney - Inner Suburbs & CBD</job:location>
 </item>
</channel>
</rss>
I want to use XSLT to extract value of a XML node with namespace <job:location>, and the returned value should be string 'Sydney - Inner Suburbs & CBD'. I tried a few XSL code below, but failed with error or nothing was returned.
<xsl:value-of select="job:location" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
<xsl:value-of select="job/location" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
<xsl:value-of select="job\location" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
<xsl:value-of select="location" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
This might be an easy question for you, but I would appreciate if anyone can help.

Hi Suncorp IT Learner,
We need to tell the XSLT that some elements are in another namespace. Copy the xmls declarations for the prefixes you need to use. Then use the xsl format as:
<xsl: value-of select=”job:location/@PUReferenceID”/>
In following issue, Chriztian has a good explanation:
