XML Choices in JCAPS 5.1.x

Has anyone sucessfully developed OTDs in 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 using the XML schema choices?
I'd also be interested to hear from anyone who has tried and failed.
Cheers,
Pete

UIX-XML BC4J - Unexpected errors using paths and DeltaTree on a particular UIX page

We are using a PageDescription to dynamically change a UIX tree using the DeltaTree technique described in the Dynamic Structure for For UIX Pages chapter of the UIX Developers Guide.

This usage of nested view object scopes has been explained in reply of a previous post, How to databind the children of a UIX XML choice, and before ours attempts to modify the tree it worked fine. Removing the nested view object scope the page makes the page render correctly, but we need it to retrieve the description of its state.
We get the same behaviour (and a much similar stack trace, with the same oracle.cabo.ui.data.DataObjectList oracle.cabo.ui.collection.DataObjectListNodeList.getDataObjectList (oracle.cabo.ui.RenderingContext) throwing a NullPointerException) if we use NodeUtils.createPreorderDescendentAttributeEnumeration method instead of PathUtils.

It's a bug in the DataObjectListNodeList class that's up at the top of
the stack. It's been fixed for 9.0.3. The bit of XML that's triggering
it isn't the <viewObjectScope>s, but the "data:childData".
I believe you can workaround this bug by not passing a null RenderingContext to
findPathWithNodeID(). Now, you don't have a real RenderingContext, and we
don't especially need one - "null" is legit here, but I think if
you just pass "new oracle.cabo.ui.RootRenderingContext()" then you'll
get around this bug.

Convert XML to FLAT

Hi everybody,
we need to send INVOIC data (XML IDOC) in edifact format (=flatfile).
How can we map XML-Data to Flatfile? Do we have to write a adapter module?
Thanks regards
Mario

Hi Mario,
SAP XI provides a module exactly for this pupose it is called "StrictXml2PlainBean"
Please see the link for deatils::
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/748d595dab6fb5e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
you can use this with any adapter, Message Transformation Bean Can also be used we have to set the Transform.ContentDisposition=Plain/Text to convert the XML to Plain. but message Transormation bean does not work well if you want to send the converted text file as a Text attachment(it will still send an XML), Choice is yours
See the Message Transformation Bean Module's documentation at::
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/0b2c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Please reward points if found usefull.

Can I link directly to a specific spry data choice from an html link

http://www.nmprc.state.nm.us/als.htm
my pages are set up around an xml source, but is there any
way to link directly to one of the xml choices? Say "Forms and
Apllications" so that I can set a helpful link on another html page
and that choice will be open on page load.
can you point me in the right direction If there are any
samples of this?

Check out these samples:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DataWithURLParams.html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/URLUtilsSample.html
These samples all happen on one page, but the links can be
anywhere. It is mostly the matter of passing the URL param to the
function correctly.
Hope this helps.

Design Choices and is LiveCycle needed? best practices for using RTMP/AMF over HTTP/XML communicatio

Hi,
I am new to flex/RIA. I am exploring different design choices especially in client server communication. On client side we will be using Flash based RIA (using Actions scripts).
There will be some simple forms (like for login, registration, payments etc) and some simple reports including with several graphs and charts. Each chart might have 1000 to 1500 data points etc. There are not video or audio content as such. On server side we have Servlets, java API and some EJBs to provide the business logic and real time prices/content (price update is usually every 10 seconds) /data. Some of the content will be static as well.
I have following questions in my mind. Is it worth it to use RTMP/AMF channels for the followings?
1. For simple forms processing (Mapping Actions scripts classes to Java classes). Like to display/retrieve/update data for/from registration forms.
a. If yes, why? Am I going to be stuck with LCDS? Is it worth it? What could be the cons for heavy usage/traffic scenarios
b. If not what are the alternates? Should I create the web services? Or only servlets are sufficient (ie. Only HTTP+Java based server side with no LCDS+RTMP+AMF)? All forms need to communicate on secure channel.
2. For pushing the real time prices/content which we may need to update every 15 seconds on user interface using graphs and charts. Can I do it with some standard J2EE/JMS way with RIA (Flex) on front-end? i.e. Flash application will keep pulling data from some topic. Data can be updated after few secs or few minutes which cant be predicted.
3. Are there any scalability issues for using RTMP? What happens if concurrent users increase 10 times within a year?
4. What are the real advantages of using RTMP/AMF instead of simple HTTP/HTTPS probably using xml based objects
5. Do I need to use LCDS if I am using AMF only on client side? Basically I mean if I am sending an object in form of xml from a servlet. Can some technology in Flash (probably AMF) in client side map it an Action script object?
6. What are the primary advantages of using LCDS in a system? Is there any alternate solutions? Can I use some standard solutions for data push technologies?
I would like that my server side implementation can be used by multiple types of clients e.g. RIA browser based, mobile based, third party software (any technology) etc.
I appreciate if you can kindly refer me to some reading materials which can help me deciding the above. If this is not the right place to post this message then please do refer me to the place where I can post such questions.
Thanks and Kind regards,
Jalal

Hi Jalal,
Let me see if I can help with some of your questions
1. Yes, you can use LCDS for simple forms processing. Any time you want to
move data between the Flex client and the server, LCDS (or its free Open
source cousin BlazeDS) is going to help. I would expect you would use the
mx:RemoteObject MXML tag to invoke server side code, passing it the form
data input by the application user.
2. If you need to push near real-time data, LCDS gives you the RTMP channel
which can scale quite nicely. You can then use the mx:Consumer MXML tag to
subscribe the clients to the messages, which can come from almost anywhere,
include JMS topics or queues.
3. RTMP (included in LCDS) is the best option for scaling to tens of
thousands of users and the LCDS servers can be clustered to proved better
scaling.
4. The AMF3 protocol used over the RTMP channels performs much faster than
simple XML over HTTP. See this blog posting for some tests:
http://www.jamesward.org/census/.
5. If you are sending a Flex application XML, then I would recommend using
the E4X API to work with the XML. This is a pretty nice and powerful way to
work with XML. If you want Actionscript objects (and probably better
performance), then using AMF serialization to Actionscript objects is the
way to go.
6. Primary advantages? There are many, but mainly you can avoid thinking
about the plumbing and concentrate on solving your application and business
logic problems.
Hope this helps you a little

Xml Schema xs:choice element in dynamic forms

Hi all,
I'm developing an xml schema for creating the data model of a form. I connect LC Designer-8.2ES to this schema.
In the schema I do have mutually exclusive elements implemented with a <xs:choice> element. A very comparable situation was described in this thread : http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=123 in 2007.
The problem, as related in this thread, is that only the very first element of the choice is displayed in the generated pdf and I don't know how to display all parts as a real choice. So what's the best way to let user fill in one part or the other of the choice?
Does it need to be implemented with scripting (xfa...myform.presence = visible | hidden)?
I want that only the filled element of the choice be exported from the form, the resulting xml being valid according the schema. I seems to work, but as of now, only for the first element...
BTW, what's the best document describing what parts of xml schema are usable in dynamic XFA forms? Is it 100% compatible? I've observed that the constraints in my schema are not validated in the forms. Shouldn't xml schema generate validating script in LCD? Does it apply for a subset of xml schema?
Thanks in advance,
jgrd

Hi all,
finally, I understand that we cannot use "anonymous" sequences neither in LiveCycle (like this following example where person might have many email)
 <xs:element name="person">
 <xs:complexType>
 <xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
 <xs:element name="email" type="xs:string"/>
 </xs:sequence>
 </xs:complexType>
 </xs:element>
valid instance with 3 emails :
<person xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Untitled39.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 <email>String</email>
 <email>String</email>
 <email>String</email>
</person>
In LC Designer, element with same name (<email>) are not used AFAK. Maybe I'm wrong?
The same hands with <xs:choice> where only first choice appears in pdf although being present in LC Designer.
As for sequences, my idea is to produce <email1>, <email2>, etc. in a static schema, before connecting schema's data to LCD.
Hope someone can show up and tell it's the right way or not.
Regards
jgrd

JAXB Flags an Error in XML Doc Related to a Choice of Elements

With a fairly complex DTD, an error results when JAXB unmarshalls a valid XML document. Here is the relevant DTD fragment:
<!ELEMENT Declaration (Variable+, (typeList | Drelation))>
The elements Variable and Drelation are complex, and contain other elements. Element typeList contains only #PCDATA. If Varaible is followed by Drelation, everything is fine, but if Variable is follwed by typeList, then unmarshall reports the following error:
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.bind.UnrecognizedElementNameException: typeList
I know there is not a real error, because I have validated the XML document against the DTD using Xeena, from IBM's Alphaworks.

By way of additional information, I tried to circumvent the problem with the following change.
<!ELEMENT Declaration (Variable+, DecType)>
<!ATTLIST Declaration dpower (PowerSet) #IMPLIED>
<!ELEMENT DecType (typeList | Drelation)>
Now, each element is either a sequence or a choice, but not both. The result was the same problem. The unmarshall reports the same error when it gets to the DecType element, saying the typeList element is unexpected. Again, IBM's Xeena tool reports that the XML document is valid for the DTD.
Here is the relevant XML fragment.
<Declaration dpower="PowerSet">
<Variable> members </Variable>
<DecType> <typeList> Person </typeList> </DecType>
</Declaration>
Is this a JAXB error?

How to get an object of choice from XML data using XMLBean?

I have xml schema and I have generated a jar to represent my schema using XMLBean. I also have few xml data files, these are valid xml for generated schema. Now I want to write a utility which takes xml file as input and returns an object of my choice (Assuming this Object type is available in the jar) as output and vice versa. Some thing like this â€“
1. Object getObjectFromXML(File xmldatafile, Class classname)
xmldatafile = presents the source of XML data
classname = an object of this class type as output filled from the xml data.
2. String getXMLStrFromObject(Object)
Pass Object and get XML as String output
Any pointer?
Thanks,

Hi! Maybe have a look at the documentation for XmlObject.Factory.parse(). It should allow you what you need to do.
Cheers,

Toplink XML mapping: mapping choice

I am doing a proof of concept and we try to use Toplink mapping without changing the original XML Schema.
We use Toplink 10.1.3.
The XML contains a child element defined as a complexType with a <choice>of 3 elements of type A, B or C.
Those 3 elements do have some common properties and we wanted to map them as a collection of concrete Java classes A, B & C extending a common Abstract Java class.
Any clue how we can do that?
Robin

Ok, I understand.
So basically, I replace the [choice] with A,B or C in my schema by a [sequence] where A, B or C are with minOccurs=0.
In my case, I have a collection of these choices.
[choice minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"]
The problem is that there is a list of A, B & C elements which are unsorted.
[root]
[some child elements]
[a]
[c]
[a]
and so on
In the schema, the list of A, B & Cs is represented by a choice with maxOccurs="unbounded".
I can't figure how to express that in TopLink, if ever it is possible to handle this case.
Thanks for your help.

XML Storage choice

I currently have a system that handles 10 million xml a day. The xml size is from 1K-50M, but most of the xml are only 2k in size. The xml are stored in 30 different xml schemas, with the largest xml per schema is about 4 million xml. I currently shred the xml myself and store them in relational tables and starting to look into using xmldb.
Each schema has its own unique attributes/problems. So my first question about choosing a storage type is does it make sense to make a choice on how to store the xml based off of the schema itself?
If a different storage option is picked based on the schema will the applications have to know how each is stored to insert or query the data?
One schema takes about 200 50 meg xml files and just does inserts and is queried on.
One schema takes about 4 million 2k xml files performs some deletes and is queried on.
One schema takes about 100 1k xml files and performs about 700 updates a day and is queried on.
I would also like to be able to query accross the schemas and does that play an impact in what storage option I select?
Does partitioning have any impact of what type of storage?
We currently add elements and complex types to the schemas as time goes on how much of an impact will this have on making a storage choice?

Yes most of our documents are small and there are repeatable tags. I can't show you any of the schemas, but the schemas are mostly for metadata. An example would be a schema for metadata for a book store. Each xml would represent a book. As for the types of queries, We allow ad hoc queries so pretty much anything you would ever want to search on a book you could and return any of the information in the metadata. We currently use 10.1 of the database, but upgrading to 10.2 seems manageable. Since I am just doing research into ways of making our product more maintainable by using more cots 11g would not be out of the question, but we would never be able to use the beta version on our operational systems.

Use SubForm Set for a choice in XML Schema

I have questions on subformset, the parameter to the 'setInstances' method and the use of 'intial' attribute of 'occur' element of XFA. In XML schema, sometimes there are exclusive choice. In my example, user has to choose between a customer number and postal-address (name, address, city, state...). I use a check box in the form, so either the customer number or postal address subform can be shown, but not both at the same time. I have no problem displaying them on the form. The problem is when I export the XML data from it. It does not work after user clicks on the check box once. If I use button instead of check box, user can press the button no more than twice. Then only the data of the first element in posta-address are exported. I use setInstances(1) and setInstance(0), but I could not find any documentation on the description of the parameter of setInstances. Anyone can take a look at it and help? Thanks. Hongwei Li I would like to post the XDP file. But it is too long (1000 lines) to fit here. So I post javascript and the XML Schema. ========================================================================== <event activity="change"> <script contentType="application/x-javascript">if(this.rawValue==true){ _customerNumber.setInstances(1); _correspondenceAddress.setInstances(0); } else{ _customerNumber.setInstances(0); _correspondenceAddress.setInstances(1); }</script> <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" id="XFASchemaXSD3"> <xsd:element name="us-correspondence-address"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:choice> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref="name-1"/> <xsd:element ref="name-2" minOccurs="0"/> <xsd:element ref="us-postal-address"/> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref="customer-number"/> </xsd:choice> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:element name="name-1" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="name-2" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="us-postal-address"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref="address-1"/> <xsd:element ref="address-2" minOccurs="0"/> <xsd:element ref="city"/> <xsd:element ref="state" minOccurs="0"/> <xsd:element ref="postcode" minOccurs="0"/> <xsd:element ref="country"/> <xsd:element ref="email" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> <xsd:element ref="phone" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> <xsd:element ref="fax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:element name="customer-number" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="address-1" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="address-2" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="city" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="state" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="postcode" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="country" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="email" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="phone" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="fax" type="xsd:string"/> </xsd:schema>

Jimmy,
Sorry about the negligence. Thanks a lot!
This time I can not even export the data of member number for once. Actually I tried different hierarchies (the default by designer is using subformset and useoneof, I have to make changes in XDP to mark both of the min attribute to '0' and one of the branch intitial attribute of occur element to '1'). I had no no luck.
I think this is an Acrobat 7.0 bug. Or in another word, Acrobat 7.0 is not ready to handle XML schema when the content model is more complex. I will have to wait until we go documentation on setInstances() method. I guess the reason of the bug (if it is) is because when you do the setInstances(0), the branch of data DOM was set to NULLType and could not recover back when you click the checkbox to reactivate this portion again.

UIX XML BC4J Choice

Adam, In a previous thread In cactus, it has problem to generate report you mentioned that in order to implement a Choice within UIX/XML/BC4J one would have to write some code to do it. Specifically,
1. Implement the oracle.cabo.ui.data.DataObjectList interface to wrap up the results of a BC4J query ...
2. Write a MethodDataProvider ....
3. Access the Method and display the Choices.
Can you JDEV guys post a WORKING example of how to do it?
An "EDIT.UIX" page where the USER makes a selection from the drop-down-list (Choice) and then updates the record with that selection would be nice.
Bill G...

Beautiful!
I'll will look at implementing this over the weekend. I made a decision to temporarily go with UIX-JSP since I did not know how to implement a "UIX XML BC4J Choice".
Now that you've delivered it I should be able to convert some of my UIX-JSP apps to UIX/XML.
Thank You Good Buddy! (Think truck driver accent)

What is the Better choice to export, XML or AAF?

I Know FCP does not support AAF natively. But I need to send my sequence to Avid, so my idea is export
as .xml and open it in Premiere CS5, and then export as AAF from Premiere to open my sequence on Avid.
Does anyone have a better idea? What is the best workflow to do what I need?
ps* I don't have Automatic Duck

That's from 2004... lightyears ago.
Try your idea...but I don't know how well it will work. How will Avid connect to the media and all that.
the BEST workflow is Automatic Duck. Don't have it...get it. Simple, straightforward...and it works. You can also try Boris AAF...cheaper. I haven't tried it...I use the Duck.

XML form field choice list to be populated by collaboration room names

I would like to create a news form used within collaboration rooms where one field should include the name of the room where the news entry is created.
Preferably this should be done automatically as works for date and author fields ($date, $sap_user), but could also be done manually if there is a way to populate the list with all available room names. If so, how do I get these to show up in the XML forms builder. There is a property 'Room' with sub-property 'Name' in the builder's property menu, but I can't see how to use this to get the room name displayed in the form.

Thanks! After working with the example you sent me, I was able to get it to work -- great! However, this method seems to overwrite all the other XML in my xfa:data -- not great!
For example, without the script, I have something like this in my form data variable after a form is completed and submitted:

It looks like the data the script loads is overwriting all of my other xfa:data. This is quite bad, as my process is dependent upon this data. Is there a way to append the dropdownlist data to the xfa:data, or perhaps load it into another node, rather than overwriting the existing xfa:data elements?
Thanks!

Restrict the value choice of a attribut in xml schema

how can i restrict an attribute value to a list of value, instead of one value by "fixed" key word? something like "option" key word in html?
thanks

Specify the type of the atribute as a SimpleType, which is an enumeration.
<xs:attribute name="attr1" type="attr1Type"/>
<simpleType name='attr1Type'>
 <restriction base='string'>
 <enumeration value='value1'>
 </enumeration>
 <enumeration value='value2'>
 </enumeration>
 <enumeration value='value3'>
 </enumeration>
 </restriction>
</simpleType>
