XML in HTML form parameter

Hi,
I would like insert records into database by HTML form, where one parameter (text field) is XML (which will be - after transforming via XSL - compatible with database schema). Is it possible with insert-request? Have you any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Hi,
Could you help me more? I've found only example with parameters as fields. Can I use one parameter (XML) as entire rowset?
Thanks,
Tom

XML query results in HTML form parameter

Hi,
I would like insert records from a query result (raw XML) into HTML form tags, using the XSL stylesheet. Here is the code I am trying to use, but obviously it is not working.
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="te_hb_strdEntryId"
VALUE="<xsl:value-of select="ID"/>">
Are there any other options to put a result of a query in a hidden tag, using XSL?
Any help will be appriciated.

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="te_hb_strdEntryId"
VALUE="<xsl:value-of select="ID"/>">
The correct syntax would be:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="xxx">
<xsl:attribute name="VALUE">
<xsl:value-of select="ID"/>
</xsl:attribute>
however, there is a shortcut syntax
when you are using XPath expressions
in literal attribute values:
XSLT attribute value templates. They are
XPath expressions inside curly braces.
So, you can achieve your desired result
with the shorter form:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="xxx" VALUE="{ID}">
as well.

Passing through XML in HTML forms without it being displayed in Web Browser

Dear all
I have some MapViewer XML stored in a variable, which I wish to pass through a HTML form. However whenever I insert the variable into the form and run the procedure, my web browser starts reading the actual XML and treating it as HTML, since it is only part of a complete XML script. Even if it was a complete XML script, it would still try and display it. Is there away of making sure the value is passed through without being read by the browser?
For example:
PROCEDURE DISPLAY
AS
var_xml VARCHAR2(32767) :='<theme name="theme_county"/>';
htp.print('<INPUT TYPE = "hidden"
                  NAME ="var_xml"
                  VALUE = "' || var_xml || '" />Then causes the output to the browser to become:
htp.print('<INPUT TYPE = "hidden"
                  NAME ="var_xml"
                  VALUE = "<theme name="theme_county"/>" />The browser is of course reading the XML as HTML.
Kind regards
Tim

Dear all
I have now resolved the problem by submitting values which can then be used to recreate the xml in another function, rather than actually submitting the xml itself through the forms. This makes more sense and avoids people having to see any of the xml.
Kind regards
Tim

How to search xml file data based on the given keyword from html form

hi,
i'm new to XML. I have this problem regarding searching within a XML file.
the
idea is that my search will be based on the keyword entered
in
by the user from a HTML form. the keyword is then used to search all
the
question nodes and the choice nodes within a XML file. once the match
is
found, i will have to display the results.
But i don't know how to do so - especially the part of searching xml file.
Can
anyone help me in this? Your help is much appreciated.
Edited by: Moti_Lal.D on Apr 4, 2008 7:28 AM

yeah.. what i was trying to do is
i have one xml fine. then i have to read all the tag values say
<book>
<title>Java</title>
<author>agarwal</author>
<price>200</price>
</book>
<book>
<title>Xml</title>
<author>saxmann</author>
<price>300</price>
</book>
i can read the tag values like this
File file = new File("dom.xml");
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(file);
NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName"book");
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i);
NodeList title = element.getElementsByTagName("title");
Element line = (Element) title.item(0);
what i want is i may give any xml file
like File file = new File("xxx.xml");
(it may be one level/two level/3level tagged one)
then the i should read all the tag values and store them in some array. Then when i enter some character from keyboard (say "a") then it has to show all the tag values starts with "a" and display them.
i guess u understand my problem.

Urgent :post xml for xsql difference with html form post

Hi,
We are developing an application to process xml request
posted by external party. The requests arrive by
http-post operation
We developed and tested with an html-form.
Now we encounter problems in testing with http-post
The xsql page is processed correctly but
insert only fixed text when formatting xml-data as input for
the insert-request, string inserted is empty.
Everything is by the book and html-forms works great.
Is anybody else using xsql to insert xml data in the database on this version? Maybe can you help by looking into a testcase ? Issued a tar but am on terrible deadline
so need help very soon.
Details: HP-UX 11.11 Oracle 9.2.0.4 java1.4 ojdbc 1.4
Tnx in advance,
Jeroen

Mark,
Have an external partner which sends xml-requests.
Have to read those, store them and process them.
Idea is let them
1)post the xml at a url where an xsql page is reading the xml
2) transforming this for an insert into
the database. The column is defined to store the complete xml-message.
3) A trigger takes care of processing the stuff and preparing the output
4) and a query in the xsql-page reads the output from an output table
When developing and testing this with an html-form that posts the xml is works great.
$ cat newclobins.xsql
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" >
<xsql:set-session-param name="id">
select msgid.nextval from dual
</xsql:set-session-param>
<xsql:dml>
delete cbs_msg_in where id={@id}
</xsql:dml>
<xsql:insert-request table="cbs_msg_in" column="id,msg" transform="cbsform_1.xsl"/>
<data>
<xsql:query null-indicator="yes">
select msgid,msg from cbs_xml_out where msgid={@id}
</xsql:query>
</data>
</page>
$ cat cbsform_1.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xsl:version="1.0">
<xsl:for-each select="request">
<ROW>
<MSG><xsl:value-of select="parameters/doc" /></MSG>
<ID><xsl:value-of select="session/id" /></ID>
</ROW>
</xsl:for-each>
</ROWSET>
1) When using a tool like
http://www.programmersheaven.com/articles/adrian/getpost/article.html it fails with
No rows to modify -- the row enclosing tag missing. Specify the correct row enclosing tag.
2) When using the commandline utility like
xsql jeroen5.xsql posted-xml=test3.xml
this works great when inserting plain text but not
when inserting xml-format data into a column
So problem 1 is why external tools like above or my partner that uses .net to do something similar gives this strange error?
Problem nr 2 is should I stick to just the data in xml and forget about storing the xml-formatted data?
Hope you can help because I am getting quite desparate here.

Jeroen

Html form xml xml db

Hi,
Is there a sample that does this simple process:
1. Extract xml content from xml db table (via a PK key)
2. Transform it into html form input (via xsl)
3. Process the request from the submit action and update the original XML content
4. Update the xml db table with the updated xml content
Thank you for your help

Hi,
You could also refer to the XML News Sample Appliation which demonstrates various XML DB features and is available at http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/xmlnews/content.html
The same page has a tutorial which explains the
Oracle XML DB features used in the application -

Convert XML Schema Files (XSD) in HTML Forms

Hi Everybody,
I am new in the topic of the XML, XSD, the situation is the following , I have a few files .XSD and need to generate automatic html forms based on these .XSD to gather information and later convert them into XML files and save them in a repository and later a middleware will process this information.
My first serious question if it is possible to develop the above mentioned task automatic? And the second one where you recommend to me to start investigating?.
Thanks in advance for your answer
Regards from Peru.

There are products which do that already, I think. XMLSpy is one. Check that out to see if I'm right (not sure about the HTML part). Otherwise, welcome to the club of several hundred people who have asked basically that same question (only not with the HTML part) here.

Convert XML payload to HTML form data in Receiver HTTP Adapter

Hi,
I want to make a HTTP request ( Receiver HTTP Adapter ) to a servlet where I need to send the payload in HTML form format ( name=value ). As per the help document:
A typical HTML form comprises named fields. When transferring a completed form to the server or a CGI program, the data must be transferred in such a way that the CGI script can recognize the fields that make up the form, and which data was entered in which field.
The plain HTTP adapter constructs this format using a prolog and an epilog
Has anyone done this before? I looked through all help documents and forums but in vain. I can resort to Java Mapping to do this but I do not want to re-invent the wheel if I can do it easily using HTTP Adapter Configuration. Please help.

The parameters available in HTTP adapter for message header are:
HeaderFieldFive     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
HeaderFieldFour     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
HeaderFieldOne     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP

Can't pass parameter from HTML form of multipart/form-dta type to JSP

How can I pass data successfully from this form to
JSP?jsp's are not meant to read such amounts of data. this (= uploading) is a typical task for a specialized servlet. there you have full control over input and output. if you need to, you can still forward to a jsp after processing in the servlet.
How can I pass data from JavaScript to JSP???? i'm not sure what exactly you mean. normally you put it into an url and submit it.

In portlets, how to use a html form passing values to the another page?

it is well known that in web developing , we have two methods to pass values to another page.
but how to use two methods in oracle portal portlets?
I have got a simple example which submit two values to the page for itself, means a page has a form with submit botton, user input the form with values and then submit them by submit botton, then the page recevice those values and show it .
this example is powered by oracle ,
please have a look at these code:

// The form submit URL refers to the current Portal page. All portlets
// on this page share this URL. This means that the per portlet parameters
// are in the same request. Portlets must ensure that its paramerters don't
// collide either with other portlets or other instances of itself. This
// is generally accomplished by using "fully-qualified" parameter names. A
// fully-qualified parameter name prepends the (unique) portlet reference to
// the parameter. The JPDK provides a utility to accomplish this.
String portletParamName = "mName";
String portletParamAge = "mAge";
String portletParamSubmit = "mSubmit";
String fName = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, portletParamName);
String fAge = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, portletParamAge);
String fSubmit = HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter(request, portletParamSubmit);

Hi Moonsoft,
I have already answered this query in the other post at Re: how to link more than one links in portlet?(jsp develop)
<form name = "showPageForm" method = "POST" action = "<%= UrlUtils.htmlFormActionLink(pReq,UrlUtils.PAGE_LINK) %>">
<%= UrlUtils.htmlFormHiddenFields(pReq,UrlUtils.PAGE_LINK, "showPageForm") %>
<input type="text" name="param1">
<input type="text" name="param2">
<input type="hidden" name="myPPN" value="/htdocs/page2.jsp">
</form>then in your jsp code on page2.jsp, you will extract the parameters by specifying
<%
String p1 = request.getParameter("param1");
String p2 = request.getParameter("param2");
%>
>>this is easy common jsp or asp development, but in oracle is too diffcult!!!!
:-) .. there is a difference between web-applications and portlets, you just need to get used to it once. I hope this does clarify your doubts.
thanks,

UTL_DBWS, XML Document as a parameter

I'm struggling with using a fully formed xml document as a parameter to a web service.
Using this code I'm able to connect to the web service and sans the arg1 argument everything works.
When I as in the code below use xmltype.toStringValue() or xmltype.toClobValue() charachters like < and > is replaced with the html encoded version (< and >) which does'nt work very well with the recieving web service.

Is the Document well defined via schema? You might be able to use the autotype
ant task to generate a serializer.
Otherwise, serialize the document to a string, then wrap it in <[CDATA[...]]>
on the return. The calling app will need to understand that the string is xml,
and then desrailize it manually.

I have web service which has to retuen an XML document (org.w3c.dom.Document)
as
a paramter. Since this is not a supported data type for in-out paramaters,
I will
have to serialize and write my own converter. What is the best solution?
Is there
any class/library that can convert the document into String which I can
return
as a parameter and again get create a XML document in the client side.

Question about running a servelt using HTML form.

Hi, Im new to Servlets , I have created a servelt with this code :
package oracle.servlets;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class LoginServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=windows-1252";
    private static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:ahmaddb";
    private static final String DB_USERNAME = "fundinfo";
    private static final String DB_PASSWORD = "tadapps";
    private static Connection con;
    private String pass;
    private String name;
/*init() : invoked by the servlet engine before the servicing of client requests
- Can be used to retrieve initialization parameters
Takes a ServletConfig object as a parameter
Is invoked when the servlet instance is created
Is useful for obtaining database connections from a connection pool*/
    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
        super.init(config);
        //config.getInitParameter(arg0);
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                      HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
                                                           IOException {
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
        //PrintWriter : Print formatted representations of objects to a text-output stream.
        //getWriter() : Returns a PrintWriter object that can send character text to the client.
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println("<html>");
        out.println("<head><title>My First Servlet</title></head>");
        out.println("<body>");
        out.println("<p>The servlet has received a GET. This is the reply.</p>");
        out.println("</body></html>");
        out.close();
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
                       HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
                                                            IOException {
        response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        name = request.getParameter("user_name");
        pass = request.getParameter("user_password");
        boolean result = verifyPassword(name, pass);
        out.println("<html>");
        out.println("<head><title>LoginServlet</title></head>");
        out.println("<body>");
        if (result == true){
        out.println ("Hello " + name + ": Your login module is working great!");
        else{
        out.println ("Invalid user name or password");
        out.println ("</body></html>");
        out.close();
        // out.println("<p>The servlet has received a POST. This is the reply.</p>");
        //out.println("</body></html>");
        //out.close();
    public void configureConnection() throws SQLException {
    try{
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
    con = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, DB_USERNAME,DB_PASSWORD);
    con.setAutoCommit(true);
    catch (Exception e){
    System.out.println("Connection failed: " +e.toString());
    public Connection getConnection() throws SQLException
    configureConnection();
    return con;
    protected boolean verifyPassword(String theuser, String password) {
    String originalPassword = null;
    try {
    con = getConnection();
    Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
    stmt.executeQuery("select password from login where uname='"+theuser+"'");
    ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
    if(rs.next())
    //>>
    originalPassword = rs.getString(1);
    stmt.close();
    if(originalPassword.equals(password)) {
    return true;
    else {
    return false;
    catch (Exception e){
    System.out.println("Exception in verifyPassword()="+e.toString());
    return false;
}and created an HTML form to target this servlet
<form action="/loginservlet" method="post">,
when I enter the the credintials I get this output in the webpage :
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

Thanks , yes it is added to the web.xml

Render xml and html content type in single jsp

I have 2 jsps, one jsp(a.jsp) is throwing content-type as HTML and other JSP(b.jsp) is throwing content-type as xml. I am making use of xsl to render the xml content in html format. But the problem is that i want to include b.jsp in a.jsp, and when i do so b.jsp doesn't make use of xsl for its rendering rather it displays the contents haphazardly.
Plese help if somebody knows the solution.

Below the following line ..
<html:form action="addContact">Add this new form field..
<html:hidden name="flag" value="0"/>Needless to say that this String variable flag should be defined in your ActionForm.
Next, instead of ...
<html:submit property="parameter"><bean:message key="ok.company" /></html:submit>Put this ...
<input type="button" name="xyz" onClick="callSubmit(1);" value='<bean:message key="ok.company" />'>Then add a JS function as below ...
<script>
function callSubmit(flg)
document.forms[0].flag.value=flg;
document.forms[0].submit();
</script>Finally in your ActionServlet, you need to find the value of the ActionForm variable flag via request.getParameter("flag").
In case the value is set to 1, then it means that you need to send the particular row to DB. You may add additional flag values to correctly identify theparticular row which you may want to send to DB.
Hope you got it.
