XML Element Byte Offset - Help!

Hello. I have an xml file of the format:
<TAG>

<DATA>DDDD</DATA>
<DATA>DDDD</DATA>


<DATA>DDDD</DATA>
<DATA>DDDD</DATA>

</TAG>
I need to find the byte offset for each tag. Any suggestions?

What I need is to find the byte offset of each SUB element in the file. When I write this piece of XML out, I need to know the position of each SUB element in that file so I can reference each one individually later.

Deserializing error - Byte-Offset in XML

Hi SAP gurus,
I have created an ECC proxywith it corresponding logical port but when I test it using tcode SE80 I get the following error :

A SWF Tag of type 75 contains 10 bytes of unread data at the end of the tag at byte offset 1762

When building with Flash builder 4.7 I get two warnings I can't seem to track down.
Those are
"A SWF Tag of type 75 contains 10 bytes of unread data at the end of the tag at byte offset 1762" The other
"A SWF Tag of type 75 contains 5464 bytes of unread data at the end of the tag at byte offset 797163"
No file is pointed out or anything else to help.
Any ideas what to look for, why this is a warning, possible implications & what to do?

This is one output after running a variation of the script, but I get this  on all of the libraries

Problem changing XML element in Adapter Module

Hey!
I am developing an adapter module to transform a coded password back to clear text. I have access to the XML element where the password is and I get to transform it, but I have 2 problems as also stated in the code:
1) I cannot set the new value back to the node. I try with
firstNode.getFirstChild().setNodeValue(decodedPwd);
but this does not seem to work. How can I achieve this?
2) Between the first issue and the code
msg.setDocument(xmlpayload);
I am not sure how to get my new values for the node back in the XMLPayload. How can I achieve this?
Here is the code:
msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
          XMLPayload xmlpayload = msg.getDocument();
          factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
          Document document = builder.parse((InputStream)xmlpayload.getInputStream());
          password = (Element)document.getElementsByTagName("ns1:passord").item(0);
          firstNode = password.getFirstChild();
          pwd = firstNode.getNodeValue();
          if(pwd != null){
               decodedPwd = Decoder.decodeString(pwd);
// THIS FAILS!
          firstNode.getFirstChild().setNodeValue(decodedPwd);
//HOW TO SET NEW NODE VALUE TO XMLPAYLOAD HERE?
          msg.setDocument(xmlpayload);
          inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msg);
               return inputModuleData;
Help is much appreciated!
Thanks!
regards Ole

Hey!
The problem was solved. The code snipped I found was:
               DOMSource DOMSource = new DOMSource(document);
               ByteArrayOutputStream myBytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
               Result dest = new StreamResult(myBytes);
               TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
               Transformer serializer = tf.newTransformer();
               serializer.transform(DOMSource, dest);
               byte[] docContent = myBytes.toByteArray();
               xmlpayload.setContent(docContent);
               msg.getDocument().setContent(xmlpayload.getContent());

XML tag markers moved: Find and Replace causing problem in xml elements

Hi All,
I am doing find and replace using GREP. While using the expression like $1, $2 (Found Items) in the change to field it changes the placement of tag marker. If the found item is a part of two of more xml elements, I am getting a serious problem while replacing it. (ie. The xml tag markers are moved.)
See the screen shot below, then you may get better idea. And help me to overcome this issue.
This is just an example to show you what i'm trying to say, there are so many cases like this.
Original text/ Before doing find replace
After replacing
Green4ever

Hi Peter and John,
but it seems to me that the example is looking for any space that
follows a semi-colon and has two word characters following it, and
repalce that with an em space. I think you could do the same using look
behind and look ahead and not need to replace the found text.
Yes you are right about the look behind and look ahead. I'd like to show some more examples to show what the actual problem is,
Original/Before Replacing,
(Consider there is another case here, instead of em-space some times normal word space will also be there)
Using the Grep:
Find What---------> ^(\d+\.(?:\d+)?)~m
Change To------------->$1\t
After Replace:
Did I make any sense? Eventhough this will not make any changes in the layout, my requirement is to insert the tab out-side the tag marker not indise.

Hiding XML elements in the structure view – scripting influence to the structure view?

Hi
Is there a way to hide specific XML elements (really the elements and not the attributes) in the structure view?
I am asking this question to know if it is possible to influence the structure view by scripting.
Many elements are indeed used as a kind of help for constructions which have nothing to do with the actual contents especially in the case of tables.
You inflate the the structure view unnecessarily and the author will lose track of the real contents. It would be nice if there was a possibility to hide those help construction elements.
Thank you for any hints.
Regards
Apollo102

Hello Apollo,
There is a way to hide elements from the Structure View (one such method is offered by the free AXCM plug-in). What happens when you use AXCM (or other methods to hide elements) is that the elements get wrapped into hidden content. This might make the structure view less complex for your authors, but has a number of disadvantages and dangers.
1. The structure is normally invalidated, as the helper elements are usually required.
2. Accidentally deleting hidden content may make the invalidation permanent and render your documents useless.
It is NOT good practice to hide elements from authors in the structure view. Instead, you should either teach authors about the structure, or let them work in the Author View while adding sufficiently clear formatting to show them the underlying structure. In some cases, it might be better to create an authoring structure which is automatically transformed into the required full structure using an XSLT or other processing step. I have created a couple of such environments and they work fine. It just depends on the difference between the structure required for further processing and the structure that would be optimal for your authors (which in turn depends on the level at which your authors are experienced in working with structured content).
I hope this helps you solve your problem without having to tweak the structure view.
Kind regards
Jang

Carriage Returns and Tabs in XML element

I have a number of carriage returns and tabs within an xml element. When I take that element I would like it to transform to html in which I am then displaying within a JEditorPane. However, when I do this it is one long string. I have tried the xml:space="preserve" within that element and this still is not working.
Here is part of the xml with the carriage return line feeds. The element that I am talking about is called pseudocode. You can see it is displayed correctly below.
Design Document XML : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><design-doc><title-page><title>Testing Document</title><class-prepared-for>Lloyd</class-prepared-for><authors>Ben Garbers</authors><date-created>September 23, 2004</date-created></title-page><introduction text="This is the introduction. This is the introduction."/><class-definitions><class-definition class-name="ClassOne" visibility="public" class-complexity="not complex"><global-variables><variable visibility="public" name="VariableOne" object="String" comments="This is a String."/><variable visibility="public" name="VariableTwo" object="Integer" comments="This is an Integer."/></global-variables><methods><method name="MethodOne" synopsis="This will do some things." purpose="public" visibility="public"><input-parms><variable visibility="null" name="firstName" object="String" comments="null"/></input-parms><output-parms><variable visibility="null" name="lastName" object="String" comments="null"/></output-parms><local-variables><variable visibility="null" name="age" object="int" comments="null"/></local-variables><pseudocode xml:space="preserve">/* Ensure that player name exist in the system*/
if (player =null)
 NullPlayerException;
 if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player)))
 throw PlayerNameNotExistException;
 /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/
 i ? 1;
 while (i <= length(mPlayers)) {
 if (mPlayers.mPlayerName != playerName)
 throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;
this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;</pseudocode>
However, when I do the transformation I get the following with the pseudocode:
/* Ensure that player name exist in the system*/if (player =null) NullPlayerException; if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player))) throw PlayerNameNotExistException; /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/ i ? 1; while (i <= length(mPlayers)) { if (mPlayers[i].mPlayerName != playerName) throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;}this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;
It looks like it adds some spaces but no carriage returns or line feeds.
My transformation code is the following:
 public ParseFile(String xmlString) {
 try {
 //Here we will load the correct style sheet for the message
 //that will be formatted.
 String urlString = "DesignDocument.xsl";
 URL url = this.getClass().getResource(urlString);
 System.out.println("URL to style sheet = " + url.toString());
 String styleSheetName = url.getFile();
 System.out.println("Style sheet name : " + styleSheetName);
 InputStream styleSheetInputStream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(urlString);
 //We will than load our SAXParerFactory and parse the message.
 SAXParserFactory SPFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
 SPFactory.setValidating(true);
 SAXParser sp = SPFactory.newSAXParser();
 XMLReader sax2parser = sp.getXMLReader();
 //NO Validation done on for this because we do NOT have a DTD.
 sax2parser.setFeature(
 "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",
 false);
 sax2parser.setContentHandler(new FileContentHandler());
 //we create a character array of the length of the xml message String
 char[] messageCharacterArray =
 new char[xmlString.length()];
 // we then put the xml string into the character array.
 messageCharacterArray = xmlString.toCharArray();
 // after this ew end up creating a CharArrayReader that will be used by the Sax
 // parser to parse the xml.
 CharArrayReader xmlCharArrayReader =
 new CharArrayReader(messageCharacterArray);
 // we put the xml character array within the Input Source which will then be parsed
 // by the Sax2 parser.
 InputSource in = new InputSource(xmlCharArrayReader);
 // Use a Transformer for outputting the message into our formatted xml using
 // the stylesheet defined up in a messages own sxl stylesheet file.
 TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 tFactory.setURIResolver(new BasicURIResolver());
 StreamSource stylesource = new StreamSource(styleSheetInputStream);
 Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(stylesource);
// transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
// transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
// Properties properties = new Properties();
// properties.setProperty("indent", "yes");
// properties.setProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
// transformer.setOutputProperties(properties);
 // We will use a ByteArrayOutputStream to put our transformed xml.
 ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 StreamResult result = new StreamResult(bos);
 SAXSource source = new SAXSource(in);
 transformer.transform(source, result);
 String s = bos.toString();
 StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
 //This will make sure the Version Line is not shown.
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(s));
 String line = "";
 while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
 sb.append(line);
 bos.close();
 br.close();
 formattedXmlString = sb.toString();
 System.out.println("--------------------------------");
 System.out.println(formattedXmlString);
 System.out.println("--------------------------------");
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
I have been searching and trying to figure this out forever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bottom line is that I want carriage returns and tabs to work when transferring from the xml to xsl.

I get the following line when adding the <pre> tags.
/* Ensure that player name exist in the system*/if (player =null) NullPlayerException; if (NOT (isPlayerNameExist(player))) throw PlayerNameNotExistException; /* Ensure player name exist in the team already*/ i ? 1; while (i <= length(mPlayers)) { if (mPlayers[i].mPlayerName != playerName) throw PlayerNameNotExistInTeamException;}this.mPlayers ? this.mPlayers - player;
On the screen this is shown on 1 line. It looks like the tabs are working correctly. However, the carriage return, line feeds do not seem to be working. The xml that is pushed into the transformation has the carriage returns and line feeds and is formatted correctly. There has to be something happening when the xsl takes the xml String. When I add within the xml that doesn't seem to work either.
I am really sumpted. If you could help DrClap I would really be appreciated.

Howto use Converting File Content in Rec. Adapt. to suppress a xml-element

Hi,
we use PI/700, SP6.
I have following structure (example):
<MsgOut>
<Sender>Partner1</Sender>
<Receiver>Partner2</Receiver>
<FlatPayload>
 blabla blabla
</FlatPayload>
</Msgout>
Now I wanna use a XI-File-Adapter to write just a Flat-File with the content (of the element <FlatPayload>):
 blabla blabla
(in other words: I wanna suppress all other xml-elements beside of FlatPayload)
But I'm not able to configurate this with the function "Converting File Content"
I tried different possiblities:
e.g.
setting yyy.fieldFixedLengths = 0 and yyy.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
(yyy = Sender and Receiver)
or
just defining "MsgOut,FlatPayload" as RecordSet Structure (without Sender and Receiver)
Result: no success.
Now my question: is it possible to suppress some xml-elements?
Thanks for your help!
bye
Wolfgang

HI,
You can suppress the XML Nodes/Elements over here. Not Fields ..
For e.g if your outout xml is like this
<MsgOut>
 <Sender>Partner1</Sender>
 <Receiver>Partner2</Receiver>
<FlatPayload>
 <flatdata> blabla blabla</flatdatat>
</FlatPayload>
</Msgout>
In this case you can suppress the <FlatPayload> node/element here.. Using Cut Parameter in the Receiver File Content COnversion.
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12
So in your case, you can restructure your data type as you required.. I have mentioned in vice-versa here
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Moorthy

XML Element to string conversion returning null

Hi,
When i try to convert XML Element to string using toString() API, it returns something like [device: null] where device is element tag.
Code is as follows -
Document xmlDoc;
DOMParser parser = (DOMParser)Class.forName("org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser").newInstance();
parser.setFeature( "http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/defer-node-expansion", true );
parser.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(tableStr)));
xmlDoc = parser.getDocument();
Element root = xmlDoc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList nodeList = root.getElementsByTagName("device");
Element deviceNode = (Element)nodeList.item(nodeList.getLength()-1);
System.out.println(deviceNode.toString()); //prints [device: null] ????
System.out.println(deviceNode.getAttribute("ipAddress")); //prints correct ip address
Any idea why i am getting [device: null] when trying to convert Element to String though attribute value is retrieved.
Thanks,
Deepak

I wrote the following lines of code ..
FTI .. >> String strMsg =((javax.jms.TextMessage)msg).getText();
StrMsg is a string that represents an xml file .
DocumentBuilderFactory docfactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
 DocumentBuilder builder = docfactory.newDocumentBuilder();
 Document doc = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(strMsg)));
 Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
 System.out.println("The root is " + root);
 String strFileName = root+".xml" ;
 System.out.println("The file name is " + strFileName);
 File f = new File (strFileName);
 FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( f );
 for ( int j =0 ; j < strMsg.length(); j++)
 char c = strMsg.charAt(j);
 fos.write((int)c);
I am getting the following error ...
The root is [ZTOP60_XML_TAG_STRUCTURE: null]
The file name is [ZTOP60_XML_TAG_STRUCTURE: null].xml
Whey the file name or root is with special character [ ] and null ..
I want just ZTOP60_XML_TAG_STRUCTURE.xml .
Can anyone help me .
thanks

Create XML Element Tag BasedOn Found Character Style

Hi,
Good Day!
Basically I want to search only for character styles that contains "ntb-", that is why it is hard coded in my searchString variable.
Although I was able to create XML tag based on selected character style, but it will always add/insert at the end of the parent XML element.
Can anyone could help me how insert/add that element at the insertion point where the text is found?
Thanks,

Here is a way you can find any field.
Download the current template.
Open it in word and go to the line that you are interested in.
The blanket PO# will be a field. Right click on it and go to properties. You will see the xml element there.
Hope this answers your question,

[JS-CS4] - How to read the XML Element and its Attributes

Dear All,
I have the doubt regarding: reading the xmlElement and its attributes.
Here I droping the xml script
//============= Start ======================//
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Fpath = File("../Projects/Entity_map.xml");
if (Fpath.exists)
 Fpath.open("r");
 var Cont= Fpath.read();
var roots = new XML(Cont);
var myEveryName = new Array();
var myEveryContent = new Array();
var myEveryAttributes = new Array();
traverse(roots);
//$.writeln(myEveryName);
//$.writeln(myEveryContent);
$.writeln(myEveryAttributes.length);
for(var i=0; i<myEveryAttributes.length; i++)
$.writeln(myEveryAttributes[i]);
function traverse(tree) {
 myEveryName.push(tree.name());
myEveryContent.push(tree.text());
myEveryAttributes.push(tree.getAttribute);
// you get the contents by using .text() insted of .name()
 if(tree.elements().length() > 0) {
 for(var i=0; i<tree.elements().length(); i++) {
 traverse(tree.elements()[i]);
//============== End =====================//
and the XML Structure is
//===============XML =====================//
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>< Entity_Convertion>
< Entitys char="Ç" GID="173"/></
Entity_Convertion>
//===============End ====================//
Here I'm getting the XML Elements and its contents, but not xmlAttributes.
Please any one can help me, then I will appreciate...
Thanks & Regards

How can I get the Attribute Value in the existing XML Elements-Reg.

Dear All, I have the InDesign Document with xml Based, now I want to get the XML Elements name and XML Attributes for each Elements, using SDK Concepts. Example: <chapter> chapter1 </chapter> id = "ch001" <sec> Section ....</sec> id ="se001" <para> para ....</para> id="pa001" How can I get the XMLElements & XML Attributes in the InDesign-XML Structure. Please any one can suggest me.... Thanks & Regards T.R.Harihara SudhaN

Dear Dirk
Many Thanks for the Suggestions, Now I search and study the XML concepts. Meanwhile, I need your suggestions for further Development in SDK -XML concepts.
I am using the SnippetRunner -SDK file, their given some XML based programmes. [Create XML Elements, Elements + Attributes, XML Comments] and etc...
Hope U will help me to Develop the SDK- XML Concepts.
Thanks & Regards

How to map more than one xml element with some Paragraph in a Text Frame

Hi friends,
I am new in InDesign Java Scripting and I have to place or map, more than one xml elements of different parents, into one textbox. Is it possible through JavaScript? Can anyone help me in this because I have no idea how it should work and it urgently required.
Thanks in Advance

I had answered to you already in your first post: the short answer is that it's not possible on the same text box unless you assign a common ancestor of these two "parents" item. That's not a question of scripting, it's the way Indesign handle the XML with the layout. Import a xml in Indesign and drop tags to page item. What you can do manually is quite representative of what can be done through scripting.
If you assign this anscestor to the text frame, you have to expect that all text child items will be displayed in the text frame (including the text of all the child of the two "parents" and all the other parents/childs that could be under the common ancestor). Having a XML that is designed for Indesign usage is pretty much inevitable if you are doing anything "serious".

XML Element of XML Element of XML Element (and so on...)

Here is my XML data (shorted, in a file myFile):
<LiveData>
<Voltage>
<Total>
<VoltageNow>1052</VoltageNow>
</Total>
</Voltage>
<Power>
<Total>
<PowerNow>345</PowerNow>
</Total>
</LiveData>
I would like to get the VoltageNow and PowerNow values, but the following script does not work:
tell application "System Events"
set elem1 to XML element 1 of XML file myFile /*<LiveData>
set power to XML elements of elem1 whose name is "Power"
set total to XML elements of power whose name is "Total"
set powernow to value of XML elements of total whose name is "PowerNow"
end tell
Error: System Events got an error: Can’t make {} into type string.
BTW, I don't want to use XML Element X because the order may change.
What is the correct method to traverse these elements to obtain values?

AppleScript can handle the strings, but the System Events XML Suite doesn't work with text strings - it deals with the XML objects, which have name and value properties. The handler can be modified to show the names of an element, but it is just designed to work with the XML Suite.
The contents of an XML file is just text, so you can forgo System Events and just use regular text manipulation statements, or use another tool such as the Satimage XMLLib osax, which is much more robust and does include commands to display the XML object as a string.
By the way, my original handler was designed and tested in Leopard, but I discovered a Snow Leopard bug that alters the way it returns array/list contents. The following script has changes that return the functionality, in addition to a dialog handler that will display lists:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run -- example
set XMLFile to (choose file without invisibles)
show("element value:", (getXMLElement from {XMLFile, "LiveData", "Voltage", "Total", "VoltageNow"}))
end run
to show(label, something)
show an alert for something, formatting lists and records
parameters - label [text]: the alert text
something [mixed]: an item to put in the alert message
returns nothing
if something is not in {null, missing value} then
try -- show the message
if (class of something) is in {list, record} then (something as number) -- force an error
display alert label message (something as text)
on error errorMessage -- lists and records don't format very well, so cheat
set {here, there} to {(offset of "{" in errorMessage), -(offset of "}" in (reverse of text items of errorMessage) as text)}
display alert label message text here thru there of errorMessage
end try
else
display alert label message "*null or missing value*"
end if
end show
to getXMLElement from XMLItems
get the specified element from a simple XML structure by name or index
the number of items is not fixed, but must be at least 2 (the XML file and an XML element)
parameters: XMLItems [list] -
item 1 [text]: the XML file path (Finder or POSIX)
item 2 [mixed]: the XML element name or index (names are case sensitive)
item(s) 3+ [mixed]: sub item(s)
returns [list]: value of the element
try
if (count XMLItems) is less than 2 then error "getXMLElement handler: item list contains too few items"
tell application "System Events"
set theXMLData to contents of XML file ((the first item of XMLItems) as text)
-- get text of theXMLData
set theXMLElement to XML element 1 of theXMLData -- start at the root element
repeat with anItem in rest of XMLItems -- add on the sub items
set anItem to contents of anItem
try
set anItem to anItem as integer -- index number?
end try
set theXMLElement to (get XML element anItem of theXMLElement)
end repeat
try -- return the element(s)
-- return name of XML elements of theXMLElement
set theResult to value of theXMLElement -- SL built-in result variable does not get set
if theResult is missing value then error -- SL does not error on empty or missing value
return theResult
on error errorMessage number errorNumber -- the element is empty, or a list of items
log errorMessage
return value of XML elements of theXMLElement
end try
end tell
on error errorMessage number errorNumber
log errorMessage
-- return null
error "getXMLElement handler: element not found (" & errorNumber & ")"
end try
end getXMLElement</pre>
