XML data repository and Search

I am looking for a tool/technology to stored huge number of XML documents probably as BLOBS and search on them using XPath/XQL
Is Oracle right technology for it? I heard about Intermedia. Is it a product from Oracle suite which does that.
Could you please point me to right direction where I can get some more information and some sample code.
Thanks

Vitthal,
Oracle8i Release 2 and beyond support Intermedia Text searching with automatic support for XML document searching using hierarchical searches.
The syntax to phrase the queries is presently
designed after the SQL99 Multimedia facilities and uses a CONTAINS() predicate with a query syntax that is not syntactically XPath, but which can accomplish many of the most useful kinds
of path queries that XPath lets you do over
large numbers of documents very fast.
For example, an XPath query like:
contains(/Resume/JobSkill,'Java')
would be:
CONTAINS( clob_col_with_xml_doc,
'Java WITHIN JobSkill WITHIN Resume')
Chapter 13 of "Building Oracle XML Applications" covers searching XML documentst with Intermedia Text, its query syntax, its index setup, and compares and contrasts its functionality with equivalent XPath syntax to achieve the most common types of queries you'll want to do.
We also have online documentation on Intermedia hosted here on the OTN site, but the documentation is more general and focuses on all of the intermedia text facilities.
Hope this helps.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Date selection and search help component in jsp

Hi all:
    In sap portal jsp development enviorment, is it possible to easily program the date selection and search help ( just look like search help in webdynpro ) ?

Hello Jianhong,
the easiest way to set a value help is using HTMLB component in your JSP.
To do it, use next code:
<hbj:inputField
           id="DateInputField"
           type="date"
           showHelp="TRUE"
           ... other attributes
/>
Before using HTMLB components in your JSP, don't forget to add this line to your page:
<%@ taglib uri= "tagLib" prefix="hbj" %>
regards.

XML Data Sets and IE8

I have an issue with Spry XML Data sets that is driving me nuts.
The setup is quite straightforward. I have a PHP script which submits a SOAP request, the result of which is pure XML. I echo this XML out as the result of the script.
I have another page on which is one or more Spry XML Data Sets. These data sets use the previous script as the source. I know this works OK because when i 'Get Schema' in the XML dataset dialog in Dreamweaver, the schema is properly displayed. This page also has a Spry Table on it, which uses the dataset as the source. There is nothing else on the page at all.
Now, when I preview this page in Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari, it displays fine. However, when I preview it in IE, the table briefly flashes up then disappears. A quick look at the source of the page shows the HTML all laid out very licely, but the Spry fields still show with their placeholders (e.g. {Balance}) instead of the actual value. Im left with a totally blank page in IE.
I have tried running in compatibility mode with no effect. I found a posting on Experts Exchange (yuk!) where someone else was having the problem but this turned out to bedue to badly formed XML. I have run my XML though XMLSpy and several online validators and it checks out every time.
Any ideas? I am slowly losing the will to live....
Si

Hi,
I'm trying to debug the same problem...I think.The pages work in firefox on PC & MAC but stop with the {data_name} in IE on both PC & MAC.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 with ADDT. I've read the posts about adding the content-type to my file that ADDT created for me just before the XMLExport, so I've added that to the get_menu_1_info.php file (see lines 42-46). I've peeked into the XMLExport.class.php file to see that the Execute function is supposedly already sending the header info (see line 223). But I'm not getting the data into IE.
Any help would be appreciated!
here's where you can see the page:
https://hbblearning.org/Takv3uMYsX7cVK5eRo/newcomer_info.html
here's where I generate the xml file to be consumed:
https://www.hbblearning.org/get/get_menu_1_info.php
I've attached the files for you to see.

XML data connection and XML submit button

Hi Guys,
another one that 'should' be straight forward. I have an xml data connection that is used ot pull in event details (name, location, cost etc) that allows you to select various events, then fill in your contact details and then submit the form. I need to have the form submit with the data that the user entered into the form as well as their selection of event. When I set up the email submit button, the XML file attached to the email is actually the XML file that the form pulls the event details from not the data that the user has entered into the form. Again I reckon this one should be straight forwad to fix, seems like a fairly normal way to operate, but I just cant find a solution. please help

>We are letting user know that u have thrown email to someone and we also let user know how is going to contact them.
This is good, but you cannot stop the email from opening and the user
needing to send it. This is, as I said, fundamental to security and
cannot be switched off.
>I tried using HTTP request but it still opening email option to send mail.
This suggests you did not do it right, because when you use http, no
mail is sent locally. Can you describe what you do?
>
>I want to do the way we do in the html page using javascript to set action event at click event and send data to specified email id.
HTML cannot silently send an email either.
Perhaps you could outline what sort of HTML JavaScript you use, so
that we can suggest an equivalent if there is one.

UIX with XSQL as XML data provider and event handler

Hello ,
I would like to bind XML data to messageinput elements of a form element
as values to be presented before entering (data provider)
as well as input values to be persisted after completing the form (event handler).
My impression (as a newbee) is that only for BC4J integration there is a bidirectional binding with view objects.
Can i use 'include' to bind a static xml file as data source for output?
How can i use XSQL to be bound as data for input as well as for output of a form?
A last question concerning a page with 3 tabs:
do i need 3 different pages and requests to get the data of the 3 tabs
or is it possible to get the whole data of the page in one request
and distribute it over the 3 tabs.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Klaus Dreistadt

You could do this, but we don't provide any tools to make this easy.
You'd have to write an implement of the DataObject interface
that gives your UI access to the XML document, and write custom
event handlers to perform the "set" side of things. The Data Binding
and UIX Controller chapters of the UIX developer's guide will give you
a high-level view of how to accomplish this, but nothing specifically
about reading or writing to XML documents.

Flash xml data loading and unloading specs

hi i am trying to get specification information that i cannot
find anywhere else.
i am working a large flash project
and i would like to load xml data into the same swf
object/movieclip repeatedly.
as i do not want the previously loaded items to unload i need
to know if doing this will unload the items from the swf or just
keep them in the library so they can be reposted without reloading.
i cannot find any supporting documenation either way that
tells me that if i load new content into a clip (i am aware
levels overwrite) if it will or will not unload this content.
thanks in advance.
mk

this is awful for me -- i cant even get the clip to duplicate
-- and i thought this would be the simplest solution to keeping
everything cached for one page before and one page after current in
the project.
i have used a simpler clip to test the code and see if i am
insane.
duplicateMovieClip(_root.circle, "prv", 5);
prv._x = 300;
prv._y = 300;
prv._visible = true;
prv.startDrag();
this ALWAYS works when i use the _root.circle file of a green
simple circle
BUT
when i change it to my main movie clip (which is loaded AND
On screen -- it just doesnt duplicate at all!) -- i've even
triggered it to go play frame 2 JUST IN CASE
I've even set visibility to true JUST IN CASE
ie all i do is change _root.circle to _root.cur
and .... nada.
AND _root.cur IS DEFINITELY on the screen and all xml
components have been loaded into it. (it is a slide with a dynamic
picture and dynamic type and it 100% works)
has anyone had this insanity happen before?
is this an error where flash cannot attach movie or duplicate
a clip that has dynamic contents???

Spry XML data set and dynamic post variables

Hi,
I am trying to create an XML data set that has dynamic post
variables.
Everytime something is pressed on the page a variable changes
and I then want to reload the XML data set using the new variable.
I know I can just pull in an XML with all possible variables
and filter client side but this would make it way too large.
Does anyone know what I may need to do.
I tried this:
var myVar = 0;
var dss = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet (
'../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , 'top' , { method: 'POST' ,
postData: sid=ajaja21&ip=127.0.0.1&cid=' . myVar ,
subPaths: [ "auth" , "plugins" , "plugins/plugin" ] , keepSorted:
"true", sortOnLoad: "plugins/plugin/order", sortOrderOnLoad:
"descending", useCache: false, loadInterval: 10000 } );
onclick="myVar=1";
But the script doesn't understand the post variables sent (it
does when I remove the . myVar part and put in a static value). I
think it isn't sending that dynamic variable with the post
variables.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Well I had it working when I stripped back everything and
just had the dss data set and a single onclick function, but now
that I put it back together it hash foobared again.
Here are the relevant bits of code that I've changed.
The function to change server id:
//function to run when changing the server id
function changeServer ( sid ) {
//set the url to use the current server id
dss.setURL = ( '../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , { method:
'POST' , postData:
'sid=7gv1m3vjvagfl7h7qeefb8iodj8evhmb&ip=127.0.0.1&cid='+sid
//force a reload of the server data
dss.loadData();
The inital load of the data set
var dss = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet (
'../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , 'yams' , { method: 'POST' ,
postData:
'sid=7gv1m3vjvagfl7h7qeefb8iodj8evhmb&ip=127.0.0.1&cid=0' ,
subPaths: [ "auth" , "plugins" , "plugins/plugin" ] , keepSorted:
"true", sortOnLoad: "plugins/plugin/order", sortOrderOnLoad:
"descending", useCache: false, loadInterval: 10000 } );
And the part that changes the server id
<td align="left" style="cursor:default; width:174px;"
onclick="changeServer({dsv::servers/server/@id})">{dsv::servers/server/name}</td>
I checked that the function is receiving the correct server
id and I even tried hard coding the cid variable to 2 in the change
function but it still wasn't changing on the server side.
Any ideas?
Thanks

XML data (image and accompanying filename)?

Hi,
I just recently viewed some video tuts and read some Flex material so I'm a little more comfortable with all of its syntaxes and such.
However one thing that eludes me when I tried to do this on my own was calling an XML file in mxml and having Flash Builder display the filename and the appropriate image (a jpg file).
I have an XML file that I automatically created using a shell command which is a shortened version of a directory listing of the jpg files on my hard drive in a specific folder. I manually cut out everything but the first entry so that I could save time since that folder has lots of jpgs.
Now, what am I doing wrong that I can't get the XML data to display both the jpg as a visual image object and the filename pulled from one of the attributes in the XML file?
I'm not posting any code yet in hopes that I can get a direct answer with a code example. Some of the code seems rather long for me to post here before getting some insight.
Thanks in advance,
markerline
P.S. This first example is for a web application, not an Adobe AIR runtime.

Hi Derrick,
In your case, please refer to the following method to troubleshooting this problem:
We can use Fiddler2 to monitor the HTTP post, and check whether the parameter is being sent. The Fiddler tool can helps us debug web applications by capturing network traffic between the Internet and test computers. If the parameter is being sent, please
debug the web service to ensure the method has values return.

XML Data Server and model help

All,
I have the following files
1) travel.dtd
2) travel.xml.
I've set up a XML data server with JDBC driver com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver and URL = jdbc:snps:xml?d=c:/XML/travel.dtd. I have created a model in designer and have successfully reversed the datastores generated from the dtd.
The travel.xml file has data populated within it, but when I right click on the datastores, there is nothing displayed. This makes sense because the xml server is configured to point at the .dtd. Do I need to change my topology connection to connect to the xml document as opposed to the dtd. Can someone tell me what i'm missing?
thanks for your help.

Since its not displaying anything as you are saying you just change the property to "f" and check.
Example
jdbc:snps:xml?f=/xml/myxml.xml&d=/xml/myxcd.xsd&s=MYSCHEMANAME
("s=MYSCHEMANAME": This schema will be selected when creating the physical schema under the XML data server.)
Hope it helps.
Thanks

XML data extraction and new row display

I have a table named, SAPDATABROWSER, which has multiple columns and rows. A column named SAPTEXT (DataType: CLOB) consist of xml data. Each XML data is different in terms of number of nodes, but has the same following structure:
<SAP_BAPI_PROP>
<SelectedProperty>
<Structure>
<Field></Field>
<Length></Length>
<FieldValue></FieldValue>
<Type></Type>
<Priority></Priority>
</Structure>
</SelectedProperty>
</SAP_BAPI_PROP>
So now what I would like to do is, to extract the values: Field, FieldValue and Length from every row (total 72) and display the result as following,
Field FieldValue Length
XXXX YYYY ZZZZ
PPPP QQQQ RRRR
AAAA BBBB CCCC
MMMM NNNN OOOO
Again, each row (total 72) has multiple nodes inside XML data, i.e there are multiple Field,Length and FieldType Nodes and no two XML row/data are similar!
I am using the following code:
SELECT
EXTRACT (xmltype (saptext), '/SAP_BAPI_PROP/SelectedProperty/Structure/Field/text()'),
EXTRACT (xmltype (saptext), '/SAP_BAPI_PROP/SelectedProperty/Structure/Length/text()' ),
EXTRACT (xmltype (saptext), '/SAP_BAPI_PROP/SelectedProperty/Structure/FieldValue/text()' )
FROM sapdatabrowser ;
The above code generate result as following:
/SAP_BAPI_PROP/..../Field/text() /SAP_BAPI_PROP/..../Length/text() /SAP_BAPI_PROP/..../FieldValue/text()
1. XXXXPPPPAAAA YYYYQQQQBBBB ZZZZRRRRCCCC
2. MMMM NNNN OOOO
Any suggestions?! Thank you very much. :)

How to encrypt/decrypt xml data into, and then out of IDS?

Hi,
How would we encrypt NPPI information being passed from an unencrypted xml through IDS, and then decrypt it on exit prior to Gendata.
The IDS SDK gave a reference to IDSEncryptionRule(), but insufficient examples of implementation.
It could be something like a single tag element, or even the entire xml, it's just not clear how to make it happen using native IDS methods.
Any thoughts or help to implement this security measure would be most welcome!
Thanks so much!
Edited by: lodit on Apr 10, 2013 2:56 PM

Hi there,
You would need to write a custom IDS rule that implements this function. You can refer to the IDS SDK book for info on writing a custom rule. IDSEncryptionRule does operations based on the request state received. Normally when an IDS rule is executed, the rules in the request type definition are executed with the RUN_FORWARD request state. Then they are executed with the RUN_REVERSE request state. An example of why this model is used would be the ATCReceiveFile. On RUN_FOWARD, it writes the contents of file segments in a message to a temporary file. Subsequent rules execute. Then on the RUN_REVERSE, the ATCReceiveFile does clean up routines to remove the temporary file.
So, armed with that knowledge, you can use the IDSEncryptionrule to perform on RUN_FORWARD (decrypt message variables for subsequent processing by Documaker) and then on RUN_REVERSE (encrypt message variables to send back to the client).
It should be apparent at this point that you need to use an encryption/decryption mechanism with the IDS client otherwise you won't be able to prepare the message to send or read the response. On the client side there are functions - consult the examples included in the IDS SDK (DSI_DSK in the installer package).

Inserting XML data into and XML template

I have XML data structured according to a schema. I also have a
template structured with the same schema, plus a schema for document formatting. I want to merge the XML data into the Template to produce an output file.
I know I can write a program to use XPath or DOM, but I am sure a generic solution already exists for this. I did not have any luck with google.
Suggestions?
thanks

Filter xml data Class and use pushView to populate List (Flex Mobile project)

I am such noob so I apologize for my ignorance. Trying to learn and work at the same time but i'm stumped been searching and my understanding is not up to snuff just yet.
I looked at the Mobile Shopping Cart that Adobe has little over my head to grasp and impliment but my project is similar without the cart option basically.
I'm currently using a single view with 3 states
<s:states>
<s:State name="default"/>
<s:State name="productView"/>
<s:State name="detailsView"/>
</s:states>
Default state has a list that uses a xml file with categoryID number's that correspond with the main products xml file.
Which when the item is selected it filters and updates the List on the productView and so on to the detailsView.
Like this:
Category -> Products-> Details
I'm using a filterCollection from an .as Class file to complete this here is a small snipet.
private function productService_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
var productsArray:Array = new Array();
var resultData:XMLList = event.result..product;
for each (var p:XML in resultData) {
var product:Product = Product.buildProductFromAttributes( p );
     productsArray.push( product );
products = new ArrayCollection( productsArray );
     products.filterFunction = filterForCategory;
     products.refresh();
private function filterForCategory(item:Product):Boolean{
return item.catID == selectedCategory;
public function filterCollection(id:Number):void{
selectedCategory = id;
     products.refresh();
Project works great but incredibly slow on Mobile device iOS. In-between the states I have transition animations and it bogs right down.
So I was trying to experiment by using pushView and basically do the same but utilize Flex's viewNavigator to see if it speeds things up but I can't get the filter function to push the filtered data to the newView component.
Or I was thinking of trying to order the events such as seletedItem->transition->filtered Data it seems like it is all happing at once and the app just sits for 3 seconds before the state is updated.
Any help appreciated or more info needed let me know. THX

So I will solve this later.
I was able to stick to the original project layout with states within views instead of view states. Ditched the transition Move effects averaging 1 to 2 seconds on all state changes.
It is a really basic product view app that all files are local. I'm not super impressed at the first go but it works and into the First Project archieve's and will revisit it on version 2. Which will probably start soon. It's better than hello world!
