Recommend a good XML book?

I am looking for a good XML book.
I found 'Building Oracle XML Applications' by Steve Muench at AMAZON, but its dated SEP 2000, and for Oracle 8i.
I'm using 9i...will this matter?
Suggestions please...
Thanks

you can still get by with it and it is worth buying although it does need upgrading to 9i.
I have managed to produce XML files from it though and applied stylesheets to them so I would recommend it.

XML book

Hi,
Could anyone please suggest a good book for learning XML?
Thanks.

I'm just learning XML myself and have worked through several XML books. I think that Building Oracle XML Applications by Steve Muench is easily the best on XML, especially when used with Oracle. Another good book is Java and XML by Brett McLaughlin.

Recommend Oracle XML Book?

Can anyone recommend an good Oracle XML book. I've checked out "Oracle XML Applications" by O'Reily and have heard good things about it. But it's 3 1/2 years old and doesn't discuss Oracle 9i features and no mention of XML Schema (didn't exist at that point I guess).
Thanks for any advice!!!

Hi,
Some of the books which provide good information about Oracle and XML (with a small description) are present at the following links:
1.http://www.xml-book.com/xml-and-oracle-books.html
'Building Oracle XML Applications' by Steve Muench is a good one
Huge documentation is present free on OTN at the following link:
1. http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/nav/docindex.htm#index-XML
Have a look at them. Various basic to advance samples are also present on OTN on XML at
1. http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/xmldb/content.html
2. http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/content.html
Check them.

Example 5-11 in Steve Muench's Oracle-XML book

Hi,
Anyone who studied the book Building Oracle XML Applications by Steve Muench (O'Reilly), could clarify this query. When I tried to execute Example 5-11:Test,Extract and Retrieve an XPath Expression Value (page 132) I get the following error:
PLS-00307: too many declarations of 'SELECTNODES' match this call (complete source code given at the end of this message).
Could you please explain why this error is occurring.

I tried the wayback machine, but unfortunately, it doesn't cache the SWF files either :( I do have a copy of some (ok one) of Steve's old videos (the one that shows how to do a dropdown list in an editable table, back before it was easy to do), but unfortunately, none of the search ones.

Constracting an xml book data structure

I have to construct a book data structure storing detalis about a book, which i parse from a file containing the book in XML format.
I've done the parser, but i'm trying to figure out what would be the best Class I could use as a Data Structure to store the book.
I have to store info about the title, the author, chapters, etc etc, as well as the book itself...
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thanx.
P.

If I understand correctly,
you have an xml file that describes a book.
Would it be an option, if you just create an oject Book that has all your necessary fields in it and populate that object with your xml values?
for ex,
class Book
String author;
String title;
String[] chapters;
}

Reference books/material/links required!!

Hello All,
This is Hussain, working in the QA/Testing domain for the past couple of years. I've been into Oracle Testing for the past 10 months and have now moved to SAP HR/HCM testing, but i am not so sure where to start reading from. I have referred a couple of books available in our library but they do not give any high level info i.e. providing basic info about the module, breakup of the module, necessity etc. Since i am from a testing background, i would like you ask you guys which books/links i can visit to understand the module better - i need info from a high level (not from the programming prospective though) apart from the navigations is SAP HCM. I am supposed to work on the following components in the near future: Organizational Management, Performance mgmt/admin and Personnel Administration.
Remember i need to start from the scratch, though i am aware of a couple of concepts in HR.
Thanks in advance,
Hussain

hi Hussian
Pratuyush has already give the details contd to that
Generally we have Unit Testing , Integration Testing , Parllel testing and some other testing methods are there iam not aware of those
Unit testing : Where we Test Node by Node if u check the first Thread u will come to Know Dilek has Given a Good Explanation this will be done before Go Live
Integration Testing: As the Name Ifself Says when we have integration with other submodules we try to integrate with those modules and wil test whether the results are correct or not this also before go live stage
Parllel testing : these testing will be done after uploading the data and we run live results and compare them with the Legacy system

XML parsing - org.xml.sax.driver not specified

I am attempmtping to parse my first XML document and get the following excpetion when running my prog.
org.xml.sax.SAXException: System property org.xml.sax.driver not specified.
I am following the examples in the O'Reilly Java and XML book but suspect I am missing something obvious.
This is the offending line of code:
XMLReader xr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
Any help will be appreciated.

You need to set a property for your class that invokes your SAX handler. This is the property you need to set
org.xml.sax.driver=???
Where ??? is the name of the package where your SAXparser lives.
for example, my sax driver is in:
org.xml.sax.driver=org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
(see code below)
Also, a sweet reference is Elliot Rusty Harold's "XML processing with Java", which answered all the practical questions I had -- really! And is free, online.
http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/xmljava/chapters/index.html
This is the code for main() where my xml handler is invoked
try
{ SpiderHandler spiderHandler = new SpiderHandler(testSpider);
 XMLReader reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
 reader.setContentHandler(spiderHandler);
 for (int i=4; i<args.length; i++)
 { FileReader xmlScript = new FileReader(args);
System.out.println("Input file number "+i+" named "+args[i]);
// org.xml.sax.XMLReader.parse(InputSource) interface
// see org.xml.sax.InputSource class
reader.parse(new InputSource(xmlScript));
catch(Exception e)
{ System.out.println("Error encountered in parsing from main(). \n");
e.printStackTrace();
Luck to you! XML is a joy.

Automatic import of material data (csv file) from FTP directory

Hello Experts,
We created a Scheduled Task -> Data Import Monitor -> from a FTP directory.
We loaded the .csv file with material data in the FTP folder but it is not getting imported.We have created the .csv file with the format of fields defined in Company quick start Work book -> Material tab. We also tried with a .csv file having first Field as CLASS_NAME with a value of masterdata.Material and rest of the fields same as defined in the Company quick start-Materials Tab still it did not work.
When we load the .xls work book in FTP directory (xl having the Configuration tab and Material tab) the data import is working fine and the data is getting loaded automatically from the data import monitor job.
Is there any specific format of .csv file in which the material data needs to be loaded to the FTP server for automatic import of data using Scheduled task?
Regards
Aditya

Are there any errors appearing in the FPA logs?
Have you checked the permissions on the folder/file that you are uploading from?
What type of scheduled task have you created?

Display XML in DWMX2004 page

I've been able to create a valid XML doc. I wanted to display
the data
inside a DWMX2004 templated page. Tried the standard things
on WC3 and other
XML books and resources and did not have any luck. (Most of
it is over my
head, parsers, js and the like)
So I check help for DW and follow their instructions to
import XML. I now
have the data in the file, but cannot get the CSS to show up
properly in IE
6/7. It will render in DW and FF 1.5. I did try *not* using
the doctype
declaration and it will display in FF but not IE. I've tried
a number of
permutations of moving things around in the DW file as the DW
instructions
are not specific enough. This is especially frustrating
because the file
works as a stand alone doc.
DW says to first export your page with a template applied as
an XML file.
Then I added the XML data into the content editable region
even though it
does not state specifically to do this. Then I imported the
DW XML file.
This all may be a DW thing and not IE. I can't find
references to this
specifically though. I have found numerous posts about IE6
XML and CSS bugs.
It may be that I don't have the right code in the right place
in the DW
file.
Here are the main files:
http://www.pweaveanea.org/test/reps_xml_import.htm
http://www.pweaveanea.org/test/pwea_general.css
Here is the base XML file that works in both browsers:
http://www.pweaveanea.org/test/xml/reps-w-dtd-css.xml
Thank you for any insight you may be able to provide.

Hi,
You can use escape characters.
& lt;InstanceId& gt;4930512& lt;/InstanceId& gt;<newbr>& lt;ServiceLevel& gt;SEA0:S3:H8& lt;/ServiceLevel& gt;
I am not able to post the string which I have used, it is displaying the actual content. Remove the space in above string after & character and remove "new" and try creating raw text.
It works as you expected. br is used for new lines and & lt are for less than symbol and similar for >
Lets see, if some one comes with better approach if you dont like this.
Thanks,
Venkat Yamali.

How can I get XML cross-references to translate to Structured FrameMaker?

I've been using Structured FrameMaker from the beginning, and have designed many EDDs, and about 10 years ago I did some translation of SGML into Structured FrameMaker (7.2) which worked well.
Now, (with FrameMaker 10), I've had to design an EDD to translate XML documents into Structured FrameMaker.
In my EDD I've a CrossReference element called XRef; this has an attribute of ID, which in turn has a value of IDReference and has Special AttributeConrols of ReadOnly.
My target elements in the EDD all have an ID attribute with a value of UniqueID.
My XML document's target xref element has an attribute of linkend, and in XML this works as I'd expect.
When I pass the XML file through the EDD/Template, everything works except that I get an ID = no value, which, of course, results in no display of the cross-reference data in the document.
Oddly, in structured FrameMaker, my element of link, with an attribute of linkend, works as it should, and displays the data. It may not be important, but the value for linkend is IDReference not UniqueID, and this displays correctly (I changed this attribute's value to Unique ID in my EDD and it made no difference to the XRef value in my document).
After making all these EDD changes, I've been careful to save the changes, import them to all files in my book and finally update the book.   Everything hangs together - except, of course, that the cross-reference doesn't work.
I'd sincerely appreciate any help or advice other users might have because I'm quite frankly stumped.

Russ,
Sorry about the delay in replying; got sidetracked trying to fix some FrameMaker 10 problems; on occasion, it laughs and crashes if we copy an element in a document and paste it to somewhere illegal. This doesn't happen all the time, but it might be something someone might do, so it was interesting to know.
Anyway, back to cross-references.
In our r/w rules we have:
"linkend" is fm attribute "ID";
Can we also have a similar line under the cross-reference element as:
element "xref"
     is fm cross-reference element "XRef";
     attribute "linkend" is fm property cross-reference id;
     attribute "role" is fm property cross-reference format;
At the moment the second line is:
.....attribute ID is fm property cross-reference id;
I tried adding the attribute "linkend" is fm property cross-reference id; (so that I had both linkend and ID) bit but this made no difference.
In general use cross-references work, in that it picks up data in one place in the document, e.g. WorldWideWeb, and repeats it elsewhere.   So in our xml file we have a link element with an attribute linkend which, when it's processed (ignoring the handshake code used to link the two - which could be something vague like 12345vvdog), repeats whatever is the target.
Conversely, for a cross-reference, in xml they use an xref element which also has a linkend attribute (similar mysterious secret handshake behind the scenes) which is deemed to point to a list of references.   This looks like it might be the stumbling block in that it links to an area in the xml document which is used as an internally generated list of references. Apparently this is only built when the xml book equivelent is finalised, so is not, like the link and linkend coupling described above.
I've passed this back to the xml people, and they are investigating a different way of preparing their cross-reference to a list of references (I'm now thoroughly confused with all these references - good thing the weekend's just around the corner).
I appreciate all you help and advice, I'll admit that this is a lot more difficult to understand than straight-forward EDD element creation along with their respective attributes.   Life used to be so much more simple back then!
In sum, what I thought I was doing was allowing an ID attribute with a value of IDReference in my elements, this was deemed to allow for FrameMaker cross-referencing.   In Structured FrameMaker, on its own, this works just fine; it all fell flat on its face when trying to import xml.   I tried to see whether the xref element's ID attribute could also be a UniqueID, but as just about everyone has said, this is a silly idea.   I was just trying stuff to see whether it might make a difference - you'll not be surprised to see that it didn't!
For the moment, I have attributes called ID with a value of IDReference, and I understand you're all suggesting to leave it at that.
If I understand correctly, I could eventually use an IDRef attribute if I wanted a UniqueID value to be used, though I'm not sure what a UniqueID is used or useful for, so will file that for future use.
Again, thanks for the advice and help.
Chris
