XML implementation for Oracle8i

Hi,
I have been following these threads as I will be working with an
application that is using XML for the data very soon. When I
spoke to your support group they said that if I needed to use
IFS or ConText I would have to upgrade to Oracle 8.1.6.
However in your reply to Priva in Jul, 99 you said this:
"XML can be used in different ways with Oracle. You can use the
XML SQL utility to read/write XML to/from object-relational
tables/views. You can use IFS to save XML files into different
tables with user-defined mappings. You can store the XML in a
CLOB in the database and index it using ConText. You can read
more about these under http://www.oracle.com/xml page."
Can 8.1.5 handle IFS and/or ConText? Also is IFS the same thing
as iFS?
Thanks for the help.

Currently you can store XML documents in LOBs or use the XML SQL

How do I determine/set the XML implementation for WLS 6.1?

I can't find anywhere on the console that shows or allows one to change the XML
implementation that is used in the Weblogic Server (6.1).
I tried putting the xml jars prior to the weblogic.jar in the classpath, but did
not see any changes to the problem I am having (see previous post), and do not
know how to tell if I impacted the server at all.
Thanks,

Thanks. That .cfg file shows Times Regular for the following characters, but none of these characters are the regular alphabet, (are they?) so there must be yet another place?
mathchar.cfg    53      < plus        2b Times Regular>

I've determined (by comparing equation string to body string visually) that Times is in fact the font being used. I just don't see yet how that gets determined. Any further thoughts?

Oracle8.1.5 and XML parser for PL/SQL

Hi,
Does XML parser for PL/SQL work with Oracle 8.1.5? Did any one install the
same and if so what are steps to follow? I ran initjvm.sql to install
JServer and then tried to load jar files using loadjava, but it's giving
error. It's working fine with Oracle8.1.6.
Any idea?

XML file for GigE Vision camera

Hello,
I am working on a design of GigE Vision camera. It should be very simple linescan camera. I implemented the whole required GigE Vision register set, can communicate with the camera in MAX. The problem is that I need to creata this XML file for the camera.There is this XML file here:
http://www.emva.org/cms/upload/Standards/GenICam_Downloads/SFNC_Reference_Version_2_0_0_Schema_1_1.x...
What should I do with it? My first version of the camera will have 2 funcions: turn it on and turn it off I am bit confused, because the xml file template has lots of functions, that I don't really need. Should I delete them? Or leave inside with default values? What does minimal configuration XML file need?

Linus

Thank you very much! Perhaps I was too concentrated on digging through various documents and missed the important info.
And one more question: how does NI software build the *.icd file? By reading XML file? Or by reading registers in my camera?
Both. The XML is processed by the GenApi software component which then translates it to register operations. The XML file thus controls what features are visible based both on the XML file as well as the camera registers (features in the XML may be conditionally available based on the <pIsImplemented< tag). Next, the IMAQdx ICD file contains the subset of features in the XML file that are available and are tagged as <Streamable>, meaning they can be saved to a settings file.

How to specify the XML Declaration for an XML variable

I need to set the XML declaration for my XML variable as
follows:
var employees:XML =
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<employees>
<employee ssn="123-123-1234">
<name first="John" last="Doe"/>
<address>
<street>11 Main St.</street>
<city>San Francisco</city>
<state>CA</state>
<zip>98765</zip>
</address>
</employee>
<employee ssn="789-789-7890">
<name first="Mary" last="Roe"/>
<address>
<street>99 Broad St.</street>
<city>Newton</city>
<state>MA</state>
<zip>01234</zip>
</address>
</employee>
</employees>;
However, if I specify <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?>, I get a design time and compile error. If I
remove it it works fine. But the server to which I send this XML is
expecting the declaration. Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks

I work mostly with the Java versions of the parser so you'll have to make the translation to C++. As far as I know, you can't use the SAX API to access to the encoding.
You need to use the DOM along with Oracle's extension to the basic DOM functionality. Oracle's package, oracle.xml.parser.v2 defines a class which implements the Document interface called XMLDocument. This class has a method, getEncoding(), which returns the encoding. You would use the method in getDocument() in the Parser base class inherited by DOMParser to retrive the XMLDocument.

XML Parser for PL/SQL - charset

Hi,
I'm using XML Parser for PL/SQL and have some trouble with encoding of results xmldom.writeToBuffer and xmldom.writeToCLOB procedures.
Some tags in my DOM documents contain text values in RUSSIAN (server nls_charset is CL8ISO8859P5). When I write document in varchar2 variable, buffer content is in UTF8 encoding ( convert UTF8->CL8ISO8859P5 -OK).
xmldom.setCharset(doc, 'ISO-8859-5') just after xmldom.newDOMDocument has no effect.
xmldom.setCharset(doc, 'CL8ISO8859P5') has no effect also.
Explicit charset direction in third parameter of
xmldom.writeToBuffer and xmldom.writeToCLOB procedure has no effect.
When I write document in CLOB, and then read part of CLOB in varchar2 buffer - result contain '?' in place of all russian text characters.
What's a problem?
How can I force XML Parser write XML in server charset?
Platform:
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.1.0
JServer Release 8.1.6.1.0
Oracle XML Parser for PL/SQL v 1.0.2

I have the same problem. But in my case I am allowed only to use XML Parser for PL/SQL.
Characterset 'WE8ISO8859P1' is used. And the language is latvian.
After parsing a XML document and printing its contents, all latvian characters are replaced by "f".
xmldom.setcharset(doc,'WE8ISO8859P1') has no effect.

Efficient searching in a large XML file for specific elements

Hi
How can I search in a large XML file for a specific element efficiently (fast and memory savvy?) I have a large (approximately 32MB with about 140,000 main elements) XML file and I have to search through it for specific elements. What stable and production-ready open source tools are available for such tasks? I think PDOM is a solution but I can't find any well-known and stable implementations on the web.
Thanks in advance,
Behrang Saeedzadeh.

The problem with DOM parsers is that the whole document needs to be parsed!
So with large documents this uses up a lot of memory.
I suggest you look at sometthing like a pull parser (Piccolo or MPX1) which is a fast parser that is program driven and not event driven like SAX. This has the advantage of not needing to remember your state between events.
I have used Piccolo to extract events from large xml based log files.

Error in Sun XML schema for servlet2.4 deployment descriptor?

Hi,
I'm including the new XML schema for version 2.4 of the servlet standard in my web.xml deployment descriptor, using http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd
When I try to save the XML file, XMLSpy reports an error in the schema file itself: "Undefined schema component 'base' encountered - simpleContext can not have a base that is a complexType with complexContent"
This error is on line 744, and is caused by the snippet:
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="j2ee:nonEmptyStringType"/>
</xsd:simpleContent>
Can anyone explain why I'm getting a validation failure on this schema? Surely someone else must have experienced the same thing, but I can't track down any reference to it anywhere. Help!

XMLSpy is known to be flawed. From my own experience of implementing
validators and data-binding tools, and from my experience of working in the
W3C Schema working group, I can tell you that there are countless cases
where XMLSpy violates the schema specification.
I checked the corresponding part of the schema, but it looks correct to me.
So I suspect that this is another bug in XMLSpy.
Try Xerces. That's probably the best in terms of conformance to the spec.

How to trigger XML messages for FWO

Hello Experts,
I’d like to trigger a XML outbound message after creation of an air forwarding order (FWO) in my TM system. It could not be a confirmation. I need this XML to provide the results of charges calculation in a legacy system (B2B communication).
Could someone help me in this?
Regards,
Alberto.

Dear Alberto,
You can follow below steps to achive the same.
1 You have to setup PPF framework.
A. You will be having output profile (which is for processing the actions in background) assigned to Air FWO document type.
B.Go to PPF customizing (Tcode - SPPFCADM) -> Select the Action profile -> Create Action definition ->choose the processing time as 'Processing when saving the document'-> processing type as 'Method call' -> Create the BADI implementation for definition EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF''. Here you can check if any filter before you trigger XML Message.
2.You have to create a custom Proxy and proxy class to generate the XML message and send to target system.
You will call this proxy class in BADI implementation EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF and build the XML message with required Charges data.
After all the setup is done, you can test and make sure you have XML message generated in SXI_MONITOR / SXMB_MONI t-code.
Let me know any challenges while doing it.
Thanks,
Bharath.

104016
65552
65552
65552
65552
65552
until a total of: 275 MB !!
This memory is freed when xmlterm() is called.
2. It complains about 'The procedure entry point slpupath could not be located in the dynamic link library oracore8.dll' when I try with the 8.1.6 DLL's...
And since Oracle8.1.7 is not out yet for NT, this is a problem...

ANN: Oracle XML Parser for Java v2.0.2

The new version of the Oracle XML Parser for Java v2 is
available for download and has the following features and
changes:
1. Conformance to the XSLT/XPATH August WD.
Note that there are several changes between April99 XSLT draft
and the August99 XSLT/Xpath draft and these changes have been
implemented in the XSL Processor. The XSL Processor has been
modified to accept XPath syntax for expressions and patterns.
Stylesheets might have to be modified to be conformant to the
August XSLT/XPath draft before they can be used with this
release.
Some of the changes between April draft and the August draft
are:
a. Expressions in the stylesheet must match the XPath
production Expr.
b. Some of the attribute names and element names in XSL
namespace have changed.
c. Some new functions have been added to XPath CORE function
library.
Please refer to the August XSLT/XPath draft for more details.
This is the first production release for v2.

How to parse an XML document with oracle8i

Has anyone a good link or an example how to decode and store an XML document into an oracle8i database.
I' ve found only good things for oracle9i.
Thank you
Roger

Here is an example of parsing xml taken fro Oracle8i 8.1.7 xdk.
This one uses external OS files to pase, but could be easily converted to
use CLOB or VARCHAR2 string for parsing XML documents.
IF you wanted to use CLOB to store and manipulate xml documents you can use XMLParser and XMLDom
packages along with the DBMS_LOB package to do that.

-- The XML file that is given to the application is parsed and the
-- elements and attributes in the document are printed.
