XML document re-construction

Hello,
I am trying to create pc of code that will recover an XML document that has some parsing error within. Today we are catching the exception and marking the XML doc as bad one, however, it would be nice to know what child node caused the problem, take that node out and save rest of the XML document. Is there any function present that will stop the processing if there is an error in the XML doc and return the position of that node?

Yes. Take your parser and attach an ErrorHandler to it. Then the parser will send its parsing error messages to it in the form of SAXParseException objects. These have getColumnNumber() and getLineNumber() methods that you can use to locate the source of the problem.

Error while constructing multi-XML document (Multi Mapping)

Hi,
We are using Java mapping to split the messages and the same maping has been called in the Enchanced interface determination. The Jave mapping is executing successfully when we run in the Test tab of the interface mapping.
But we are getting error "Error while constructing multi-XML document", when we execute scenario from Runtime work bench or Test Configuration.
Could you advise whether we need to do any extra setting to execute the java mapping in the Enhanced Interface Determination.
Thanks,
Krishnaraju.

For the last 5 years (and in IPCC3.x/4.x,UCCX/5.x/7.x) I've used the same basic subflow to read a XML document that contains holiday dates where the queue should be closed. I've re-used this script on 20+ client installs and it's always worked. The structure of the script allows you to pass the path and filename of the XML document as parameters to the subflow. (The document is in the repository)
I loaded this script in UCCX 8.0.2 recently and it crashed with a Java.IO error. It looked like it was trying to read the file system directly and not the repository. (In the Linux appliance model this kind of makes sense but why is the step trying to read the file system directly?)
So I open a TAC case (SR# 615243125) and TAC tells me that the method of using the Create File Document step is not supported anymore and that I should specify the filename directly in the Create XML Document step
The problem that I see (aside from having to edit all my scripts that use XML files) is that the Create XML Document step is looking for the input to be a type DOCUMENT and not a type STRING. This seems to imply that I have to hardcode the document in each script that I deploy for a customer. When it was a string it was easy to construct the full file path from parameters and pass to the subflow.

The output of this step is a DOCUMENT to be used in the Create XML Document step
The string FILE_FullPathHolidayFiles references en_us\folderName\documentName.xml
The document was properly uploaded into the repository only, NOT trying to directly read c:\foo\blah…

The create XML document input can only be a type DOCUMENT

#1 Am I missing something here?
You are mixing two different issues together here.
The Create File Document step is indeed not needed or supported for creating an XML document. That is why there is a unique step; to trigger XML parsing within the MIVR subsystem.
Accessing the file system is restricted to a single folder within the VOS model (i.e. 8.0+). This folder is not backed up, replicated, or cleaned up automatically. It was intended to give developers some FS access as a temporary swap location only.
#2 Do you assume that you'll be able to load a script that
worked fine in UCCX 7 into UCCX 8 and that it should completely
function when you're doing everything according to the step reference
documentation.
Assume nothing; read the documentation and attend one of the dozens of partner training sessions that CCBU put on advising of the upcoming changes.
#3 Cisco didn’t document this in any way that I can find.
You're right, I guess, on the Create File vs. XML Document step. AFAIK Cisco never wrote a notice into the Step Reference Guide explicitly stating that you cannot use the Create File Document although the documentation seemed pretty clear to me without it. File system restrictions are documented in the 8.0 release notes.
Scripting and Development Series: Volume 2, Editor Step ReferenceUse the Create XML Document step to create a logical document that maps a document to another document variable (where the document has already been pre-parsed as an XML document and is ready to be accessed by the Get XML Document Data step).Use this step before the Get XML Document Data step to obtain data from a document formatted using the Extensible Markup Language (XML).
#4 How can you use the Create XML Document step in a fashion that would
let you construct the path of the file and the filename previously in
the script so you could pass it to a subflow ? It would seem this functionality has been killed in UCCX 8
No it hasn't; just concatinate a string to build the Source Document parameter the step needs. Example: "DOC[" + myFilePath + "]"

Binary content in XML document

Hi all,
I'm currently facing a problem regarding XML and binary content. What I need to do is basically send an XML-RPC message to invoke a method that has a parameter which accepts a file. I'm not sure how to include binary content in an XML document. Other than that, does anybody know if I can use some sort of common multipart request class to accept the XML-RPC calls from the client? In the end I should have a servlet that takes care of transferring the request (XML-RPC with file) to the apropriate service and construct and send a response...

How does the aproach of establishing a momentary peer-to-peer connection for a file transfer compare with HTTP uploads? Does it work just about the same way?
Basically, this means I would need to build a client program that first opens a server socket for the actual file transfer, then sends a message to the application server that it wishes to upload a file and then accepts a connection from that application server to transmit the file...
Sure. ;-) However, if you're asking where you might find such an animal then I can't help you...
Apparently I don't need such a class anyway, if I use common XML-RPC messages and transfer binary content in another way... ;)

Creation of a XML Document with DTD entry

I am trying to create a XML file on the fly. I use the
NodeFactory to contruct a document (createDocument()). I have
then setStandalone("no") and setVersion("1.0"). when I try to
add a DOCTYPE node via appendChild( new XMLNode("test",
Node.DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE)), I get a ClassCastException.
This is using the 1.0.1.1.0 xml parser.
What is the mechanism to add a node of this type? I noticed that
the NodeFactory did not have a machanism for creating a DOCTYPE
node.

There is no mechanism to create a new DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE object
via DOM APIs. The only way to get a DTD object is to parse the
DTD file or the XML file using the DOMParser, and then use the
getDocType() method. Note that new XMLNode("test",
Node.DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE) does not create a DTD
object. It creates an XMLNode object with the type set to
DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE, which infact should not be allowed. The
ClassCastException is raised because appendChild expects a DTD
object (based on the type).
Also, we do not do any validation while creating the DOM tree
using the DOM APIs. So setting the DTD in the Document will not
help in validating the DOM tree that is constructed. The only way
to validate an XML file is to parse the XML document using
DOMParser or SAXParser.

Using "XML Document from XML Schema" in JDeveloper

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to generate XML Document from XML Schema.
For this I have used "XML Document from XML Schema" feature in JDeveloper. It is found in File->New->General->XML Document form XML Schema.
I have registered a schema with jdev and got an XML document output for that successfully.
Now, I want to implement this feature in my code for generating XML documents when XSD files are provided.
Can any one please provide me with pointers to do that? I am sure there should be some libraries which can implement this feature.
Thanks,
Dilbagh

Error while loading an XML document using a structured application

Hi,
I try to load an XML document using a structured application defined in the default structapps.fm
My code is shown down, extracted from the FDK API code sample.
Problem, I always have the same message :
"Cannot find the file named e:\xml\AdobeFrameMaker10\file. Make sure that the file exists. "
Where "e:\xml\AdobeFrameMaker10\" is my install directory.
So I assume that frame try to find the structapps.fm file but does not find it.
What else can it be ?
Does anyone knowns how to achieve this simple task using extendScript ?
Thanks for any comments, Pierre

Pierre,
Depending on the object "myLastFile", the method openDlg might not even exist (if the myLastFile object is not a File object, for instance). And I do not see any need for the myLastFile anyhow, as you are presenting a dialog to select a file to open. I recommend using the global ChooseFile( ) method instead. This will give you a filename as string in full path notation, or null when no file was selected in the dialog. I am not sure what your ExtendScript documentation states about the return value for ChooseFile, but if that differs from what I am telling you here, the documentation is wrong. So, if you replace the first lines of your code with the following it should work:
function openXMLFile ( ) {
    var filename = ChooseFile ( "Choose XML file ...", "", "*.xml", Constants.FV_ChooseSelect );
While writing this, I see that Russ has already given you the same advice. Use the symbolic constant value I indicated to use the ChooseFile dialog to select a single file (it can also be used to select a directory or open a file - but you want to control the opening process yourself). Note that this method allows you to set a start directory for the dialog (second parameter). The ESTK autocompletion also gives you a fifth parameter "helplink" which is undocumented and can safely be ignored.
Good luck

Problem replacing Null nodes with real values in XML documents...

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
Our friends in Java land are insisting on passing data between Java and PL/SQL using fairly small XML documents (don't ask). I then need to extract the input parameter values and pass them, on to the stored procedures that actually do the work. These return a result which needs to be returned to the java layer in the output XML document.
Here is a cut down version of the input XML...
<ParameterList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Parameter>
<Id>1</Id>
<Result xsi:nil="true"/>
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
<Id>2</Id>
<Result xsi:nil="true"/>
</Parameter>
</ParameterList>
and this is an example of what I am expected to return...
<ParameterList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Parameter>
<Id>1</Id>
*<Result>SUCCESS</Result>*
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
<Id>2</Id>
*<Result>WARNING</Result>*
</Parameter>
</ParameterList>
i.e. I am expected to replace the value of the Result node with a string indicating the succes or otherwise of the underlying PL/SQL process.
I am extracting the input values using the DBMS_XMLDOM functions and naively assumed that DBMS_XMLDOM.SETNODEVALUE could be used to update the value in the Result node - It didn't work so I resorted to reading the documentation which revealed that it will not work for a null node.
Am I going to have to use XSLT to generate the output XML from the Input and incorprate the result? Or is there a simpler way?
I have used XSLT in Oracle before and still have the nervous tick...

Thanks A Non,

Performance issues with FDK in large XML documents

In my current project with FrameMaker 8 I'm experiencing severe performance issues with some FDK API calls.
The documents are about 3-8 MBytes in size. Fortmatted they cover 150-250 pages.
When importing such an XML document I do some extensive "post-processing" using FDK. This processing happens in Sr_EventHandler() during the SR_EVT_END_READER event. I noticed that some FDK functions calls which modify the document's structure, like F_ApiSetAttribute() or F_ApiNewElementInHierarchy(), take several seconds, for the larger documents even minutes, to complete one single function call. I tried to move some of these calls to earlier events, mostly to SR_EVT_END_ELEM. There the calls work without a delay. Unfortunately I can't rewrite the FDK client to move all the calls that are lagging to earlier events.
Does anybody have a clue why such delays happen, and possibly can make a suggestion, how to solve this issue? Thank you in advance.
PS: I already thought of splitting such a document in smaller pieces by using the FrameMaker book function. But I don't think, the structure of the documents will permit such an automatic split, and it definitely isn't an option to change the document structure (the project is about migrating documents from Interleaf to XML with the constraint of keeping the document layout identical).

FP_ApplyFormatRules sounds really good--I'll give it a try on Monday. Wonder how I could miss it, as I already tried FP_Reformatting and FP_Displaying at no avail?! By the way, what is actually meant with FP_Reformatting (when I used it I assumed it would do exactly what FP_ApplyFormatRules sounds to do), or is that one another of Lynne's well-kept secrets?
Thank's for all the helpful suggestions, guys. On Friday I already had my first improvements in a test version of my client: I did some (not all necessary) structural changes using XSLT pre-processing, and processing went down from 8 hours(!) to 1 hour--Yeappie! I was also playing with the idea of writing a wrapper to F_ApiNewElementInHierarchy() which actually pastes an appropriate element created in a small flow on the reference pages at the intended insertion location. But now, with FP_ApplyFormatRules on the horizon, I'm quite confident to get even the complicated stuff under control, which cannot be handled by the XSLT pre-processing, as it is based on the actual formatting of the document at run-time and cannot be anticipated in pre-processing.

Parse and output XML document while preserving attribute order

QUESTION: How can I take in an element with attributes from an XML and output the same element and attributes while preserving the order of those attributes?
The following code will parse and XML document and generate (practically) unchanged output. However, all attributes are ordered a-z
Example: The following element
<work_item_type work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_type_code="3" user_tag_ident="Step" name="Work Step" gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" rstat_type_code="1">
</work_item_type>is output as:
<work_item_type gmt_last_updated="2008-12-31T18:00:00.000000000" last_upd_db_id="0" last_upd_db_site="0000000000000000" name="Work Step" rstat_type_code="1" user_tag_ident="Step" work_item_db_id="0" work_item_db_site="0000000000000000" work_item_type_code="3">
</work_item_type>As you may notice, there is no difference in these besides order of the attributes!
I am convened that the problem is not in the stylesheet.xslt but if you are not then it is posted bellow.
Please, someone help me out with this! I have a feeling the solution is simple
The following take the XML from source.xml and outputs it to DEST_filename with attributes in a-z order
Code:
private void OutputFile(String DEST_filename, String style_filename){
     //StreamSource stylesheet = new StreamSource(style_filename);
     try{
          File dest_file = new File(DEST_filename);
          if(!dest_file.exists())
              dest_file.createNewFile();
          TransformerFactory tranFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          Transformer aTransformer = tranFactory.newTransformer();
          aTransformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
          Source src = new DOMSource("source.xml");
          Result dest = new StreamResult(dest_file);
          aTransformer.transform(src, dest);
          System.out.println("Finished");
     catch(Exception e){
          System.err.print(e);
          System.exit(-1);
    }

You can't. The reason is, the XML Recommendation explicitly says the order of attributes is not significant. Therefore conforming XML serializers won't treat it as if it were significant.
If you have an environment where you think that the order of attributes is significant, your first step should be to reconsider. Possibly it isn't really significant and you are over-reaching in some way. Or possibly someone writing requirements is ignorant of this fact and the requirement can be discarded.
Or possibly your output is being given to somebody else who has a defective parser which expects the attributes to be in a particular order. You could quote the XML Recommendation to those people but often XML bozos are resistant to change. If you're stuck writing for that parser then you'll have to apply some non-XML processing to your output to fix it up on their behalf.

Display xml documents - how to submit a feature request?

Safari is useless when it comes to render raw xml documents. You have to view the actual source to see the xml.
Is there an official way to submit a feature request for safari to apple? I would love to see something similar to what firefox does with xml. Safari is such a fast and nice browser, if it only could handle text/xml better...

As you said Safari simply shows all xml element content concatenated together. But no tags or attribute values. If the ContentType in the http header is set to text/xml Firefox shows an xml tree that you can nicely browse. I think IE5+ and Opera do that too. It is important to set the right content type though. Here is an example that shows nice in FF, but is unreadable in Safari:

Sure you can look at the source code, but the xml might not be pretty printed.

Displaying XML Document in new browser window

Hi,
I have a hyperlink on my page. When I click on it, it will open a new IE window and display xml document.
The new window is displaying some of the xml and at the end displaying the following:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
End element was missing the character '>'. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:28080/benchmark/faces/displayXMLDocu...
However, I cut and paste the xml String where I write it to the HTTPServletResponse to XMLSPY and it displays correctly.
Please let me know.
Rgrds

Here are the steps:
1. I created page1 that has a hyperlink.
2. Hyperlink property are set to display page2 in a new window. (popup).
3. page2.prerender() method, I set the response to the following:
public void prerender() {
javax.faces.context.ExternalContext ec = this.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ec.getResponse();
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","max-age=0");
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Expires","0");
response.setContentType("text/xml");
response.setBufferSize(5000);
String xmlString = getRequestBean1().getBookingPnrDetailsXML();
try{
xmlString="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><root><test1>this is a test</test1><victor>Hello Victor</victor></root>";
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(response.getOutputStream());
log(xmlString);
out.print(xmlString);
}catch(IOException io){
System.out.println("" + io.getMessage());
io.printStackTrace();
4.page2.jsp code is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:ui="http://www.sun.com/web/ui">

Hi,
Please re-read the answer from Marc carefully. He was in the exact same situation as yours:
- Monitored system: NW CE 7.1
- CEN: NW 7.01 (same as NW 7.0 EhP1)
The link you posted is for CEN with NW 7.3 and monitored systems from NW 7.02 (and up). Read the paragraph below the Caution sign:
If you want to centrally monitor any system with a central monitoring system with release SAP NetWeaver 7.0, this procedure is not applicable. In this case, follow the procedure described in the newest Monitoring Setup Guide for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 instead. You can obtain the Monitoring Setup Guide at the Internet address service.sap.com/operationsnw70 in the Monitoring area.
You should look for (and follow) the right Monitoring Setup Guide as mentioned.
Regards,
Dao

How to insert data into a table from an xml document

using the XmlSql Utility, how do I insert data into a table from an xml document, using the sqlplus prompt.
if i use the xmlgen.insertXML(....)
requires a CLOB file, which i dont have, only the xml doc.
Cant i insert directly from the doc to the table?
the xmlgen examples I have seen first convert a table to a CLOB xmlString and then insert it into another table.
Isnt there any other way?

Your question is little perplexing.
If you're using XML SQL Utility from
the commandline, just use putXML.
java OracleXML putXML
null

How can I access xml document from javascript whithin a JSP page

how can I access xml document from javascript whithin a JSP page?
I have a JSP that receives an XML document from a JavaBean, so I can access it within the entire JSP, but I need to access it from the javascript inside the JSP... and I have no idea how i can do this.
Thanks in advance!

The solution would only work on MS IE browsers, as other browsers do not support an XML DOM.
It can be done, but you would be stuck with using the Microsoft broswer. If that is acceptable, I have some example code, and a book recommendation.
