Xml Mapping Query

Hi Java Team
For a calling a servlet from a HTML form that is placed inside a folder name HTML in the webcontent we need to map the welcome file as
<welcome-file>HTML\Home.html</welcome-file>
In my application I am reading an Excel file to update database
but when i am creating the input stream object i am currently giving the entire path like
FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream("E://sample1/sample1/WebContent/Files/Book10.xls")
is there any mapping which we can do in web.xml by which i need to give only the file name like
FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream ("Book10.xls")
Thanks

Hi Mark,
I don't think it is possible to nest the XML mapping.
This is because your table data will be just two-dimentional. Through your table return several keywords for each template, the query result will look something like:
template_key        id                         ver       keyword
tkey1                  INSTLP0001a         1.2      key 1 v1.2
tkey1                  INSTLP0001a         1.2      key 2 v1.2
tkey1                  INSTLP0001a         1.2      key 3 v1.2
Look at the above exhibit. all the column except keyword are repeated.
So, you can achieve this in two ways.
1. Change your schema to have a one level data mapping.
2. Split your schema into three so that you will have three xml files.
Hope this may help you!

List View Bound to XML Map Data

HI Have a list view that is bound to xml mapped data. It seems that on connection refresh that new data is not being updated into the SWF. My Binding is directly onto the cell ranges that are mapped into excel, so on updates the size of the maped table changes/rewrites over the old data.
When I refresh I am not picking up the newest data in the list view. Any thoughts on this on how I can fix.
Regards,
Mark

Thank you Ganesh, but I am not on Enterprise edition. I am successfully bringing in live xml data, however mapping more than one Query result from one xml file is giving my project some problems. Refreshing a list View I think is causing this issue. From within my project in design view I can Refresh the data.
When I publish the file to html/SWF when I refresh other components are refreshing but the list view and one other is not refreshing.....

XML Mapping InfoPath to Excel Include metadata?

Grabbing an InfoPath form from a SharePoint Form Library (in the form of xml files) then dragging and dropping into Excel creates a nice XML map which paves the way for a neat Import.
This doesn't bring over the metadata though - things like "Created By" for each form.
Anyone have any thoughts on getting this?

Thank you Sammi for a response.
1) You have one xml file and this xml file is the only xml data source of your excel file.
Yes
2) You have 4-5 queries based on this xml map. Do it mean you divide your xml map into 4-5 data ranges (or blocks) in your excel file?
Yes I divide the mappings from the one source to 4-5 blocks on different worksheets.
3) You use several components binding to these data respectively
Yes
4) All of these components only get data from the first data range.
Yes
I have also tried to have each query from the database export to its own xml file, map all of these xml files into the model, import, bind, add connection in data manager, add connection refresh button (one for all and also one for each) and same results. Only one query will be updated.....
I will e-mail you the model.
Thanks!

XML Mapping

If anyone is an expert in XML maps maybe they can help me. I have one xml file with 4-5 Query results streaming to it.
When I map them to excel and refresh thru excel they all also refresh properly with new data. All is ok here.
I import into excelsius and bind components to the different sheets, set up connection manager and refresh button all set to refresh on load.
Here is where it gets strange: The first component added to the canvas works properly upon refresh but anything added second whether a value or a list view selector, spreadsheet selector they all default to the first query's maps. The bindings are clearly to the respective mappings data but on refresh thru excelsius they show values from the first mapping.
I am stuck any help would be appreciated.

Multiple connections via xml maps

I am currently using Engage SP1 version of Xcelsius. (not Engage Server.)
As noted in other posts, this version of the product does not all allow multiple connections to web services using the connectivity tools built into the Xcelsius development environment.
However I've found there is no such limit placed on the number of web service connections if you set them up in Excel (as xml mappings) and then import that excel spreadsheet as the model for Xcelsius.
I've tested this by connecting to three different web services using 3 xml maps in Excel and then importing that excel file as the model for Xcelsius to use. The xcelsius model worked flawlessly displaying data from all three web services on the dashboard (swf).
The only limitation I've found is that the excel XML mapping tool doesn't offer a way to feed a value as input for the web service.   In the example all three web services required no input values.
They just run when called and return data.    (no parameter required.)
However my attempts to setup an xml mapping to a web service that requires an input parameter has failed.
There seems to be no way to feed the web service an input value within Excel.   I realize that may be an Excel support issue, but have found no documentation in the Excel product or websites to explain how to setup the xml map to allow for the input.
I should note, that i have connected successfully using a web service url that contains the parameter values hard coded (but no successess passing them in from excel at the time of the web service call.)
If anyone has solved this issue any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, when you are maping an xml file in excel you have only imported the data that contains the file but not the query, you have to update the file but i dont know if excelsius will allow to reimport the xml in the datasheet when its in a swf format. I have a similar issue because mapping its almost equal to copy the entire data base.
I am trying to make a web service that contains more that one query and generate the xml in a schema that will be helpfull for me to make a general configuration.
I have to make 5 or 6 drill downs whit specific information :s and i havent get any response. My limitation its that i have the same version that you have only one conection but if i can do that web service it will be very helpfulll and i will be using like 500 rows. I dont whant to make it in diferent xcelsius templates because i havent found an alternative to conect the "filters" to each template.
Second Xcelsius has make a point that its a waste to buy even the engage version but this is what my company whants and i have to use it.
If you know flash you can do it in a very efficient way, also you need to have a general idea of programing an application.
I didnt know flash but in this time 2 months have finish the project, the problem its that is not in excelsius >,>. And they what it in excelsius so they can modify the source files (.xlf).
If i can do the web service i will post it and maybe it can help you. Good luck if you success in your idea.

Xcelsius Dashboard on SAP R/3 Table using BSP and XML Mapping

Hi Experts,
I have developed a simple dashboard on small data set (10 records) that I am fetching from a R/3 Table into BSP and generating XML from there and consuming it in Xcelsius (SAP R/3 + BSP + XML Mapping).
Now I want to fetch data based on Variables values that should be passed from the dashboard at the runtime and should display the data accordingly. Any help on how it can be achieved?
Thanks..!!
Sharad

Hi,
You could try doing this by using XML data connection. You would have to make use of Enable load to get the data from XML and Enable send to send data back to XML from dashboard.
This would require you to write a script.
Thanks,
Amit

Oracle XML to HSBC XML mapping for R12 AP Check Printing

Hi,
Our environment is Oracle APPS R12.
We need to send an electronic payment information to HSBC bank. So this will be generated 'like' a check from the payments process, but for payment types of WIRE, ACH, etc...and the output is an XML file in a format specified by the bank HSBC. We need to send an XML file to HSBC per their spec. The data that needs to go in this file is the same payment information that Oracle already provides in the standard check printing. We need to take that data and turn it into XML matching the HSBC spec (hence the XML to XML mapping).
I am not sure how to get the source for standard check printing prog. Any idea of how to do Oracle XML- HSBC XML Mapping? Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Valli

Review this note, you will get source of check printing program

Thank You
Andrea

Hi Charlie,
thanks for your fast answer. I try to figure out what's are
my doubts and need:
1) Yes it must to be a query because i need to filter data to
be shown in many different outputs.
2) I understand that it should be possible to create
something like 2 database table :
one for the Hotel and
one for Rooms with all the subitems( I confirm you that there
will be situations with more RoomType Item for each Rooms. My doubt
now is how I will be able to manage the query joining the 2 tables
when I miss a common date to show in the statement WHERE ( Example
: WHERE Hoteltable.#KH#( hotel ID ) = RoomsTable.#Here I will miss
the compare data that in the second table is not provided by the
xml#.
How will I be able to manage the query??????
I think this is our way but I am really lost at this level.
Of course the solutions with only one table with multiple
rows for each rooms type will create me problems in outputs results
. I will have results where the selection will not be the hotel but
the rooms type and will be inconvenient to receive dinamically 5
times the same hotel with the different rooms type details.
What I need is to receive each hotel only once with all the
roomstype details inside.
Thanks for your help

Problem with castor xml mapping

Hi,
we have following problem with castor xml mapping.

for your ref here is what i think the basic mapping file would look like
<class name="Person">
<map-to xml="person"/>
<field name="name" type="string">
<bind-xml name="name" node="attribute" />
</field>
<field name="age" type="string">
<bind-xml name="age" node="attribute" />
</field>
</class>
<class name="MetaPerson">
<map-to xml="person"/>
<field name="dependents" type="string">
<bind-xml name="dependents" node="attribute" />
</field>
<field name="presentAdd" type="string">
<bind-xml name="present_add " node="attribute" />
</field>
<field name="permanentAdd" type="string">
<bind-xml name="permanent_add " node="attribute" />
</field>
</class>
however i am still not clear as to how i can use the metaperson object in the person class as well as in the mapping file.
hope this gives a better idea abt my problem statement.
Please help me out

Mapping query in SAP PI

Hi Experts,
I have a mapping query in SAP PI. Actually I am mapping the source and target fields, now the problem is.
The sender filed is subnode of the main node, and I have mapped the two main nodes in the sender and receiver together.
Now, whether the sender main node comes all the subnode values will come or do we need to do something else for it.
Both the sender and target main nodes and subnodes can have multiple repetations.
I think One to One mapping wont do in this case. What needs to be done please help??
Thanks and regards,
Aniruddha

Hi Vijay,
Thanks a lot.I will try this out. Can you help me in another mapping problem, the req. is that i need to map the source and the target.
The condition basically is :
If no value in LIFEX use VBELN to map to a single target field.
But I wont use UDF in this case.
Please help.
Regards,
Aniruddha

ExcelXML mapping---problem with XML maps in Excel sheet

Hi Friends,
I have one issue with ExcelXML mapping in Xcelsius.
The problem is I have designed one dashboard using ExcelXML mapping and everything is working fine but I was afraid that I could not able to find the mappings which were embedded in Excel.It happened many times.What I was doing is everytime Im re-mapping.I could be a big problem for me to do this procedire for everytime.How to recover my XML maps into excel sheet.Can anyone please provide the solution to achieve this.

Shouldnt it be equivalent ? I mean, as far as I know the ns0: shouldnt be a problem
when you have a namespace in the message then you need to associate it with some prefix....since ns0 (or any other prefix) is not present you are getting the error....having the namespace but not ns0 is the problem.
XMLAnonymizer bean may help you to add the namespace prefix...

XML MAPPING - swf not updating

When I make a change to the xml file it is not picking up the change in my published swf file. When I open the project in CX and refresh the mapping updates.
So it is connected but when I click on "refresh" on the sxf it is not updating.
I have xml maps, added in the data connection manager, with a refresh button tied to the xml connection. I also have the refresh on load checked in the connection manager.
Need help.
Thanks
Mark

Shamim my scenario was that I wanted the SWF on a network so that a call center employee could access the file from a mapped drive, open the file direct on her/his client machine. My problem was that I developed the file on the server machine and mapped the data connection path to the XML initially from the server, not the scenario of a client machine's path looking for the file. (not sure if cache is the right term)
Initial Path from server development.. D:\Datafiles\data.xml
The client machine(s) network path, mapped drive was Z: for example. In the excelsius model you need to bind the data path to the excel model and hardcode the Path that the client machines will go thru to access the data. This solved my issue perfectly. Z or name of the mapped drive mapped to the server.
Z:\Datafiles\data.xml
So now if your on the server machine and try to open the file from the swf you will incur the error message that correlates to the swf not being able to find the data. From the clients works fine but not from the server machine as the path has to be exact for the swf to find the data file.
Hope this helps.
I have a question for trying to deploy this same example on th server embedded into a swf movie player to the web. Might have been my path issue, cross domain policy file... But I could not get it to be deployed in a website, live. If you are familiar with this please explain to me.

Mark

oms_error Message:[oms] empty or null xml map request string.

I'm using mapviewer. I create a stored procedure in oracle that uses the utl_http package to make the map request. The omserver response with an error but when i make a map request via internet explorer the server response its ok and show me the correspondent map. This is my pl/sql code it fails in this line:
UTL_HTTP.SET_HEADER(l_http_req, 'Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
     UTL_HTTP.SET_HEADER(l_http_req, 'Content-Lenght', LENGTH(map_request));
     UTL_HTTP.SET_HEADER(l_http_req, 'Host', 'cobogis09');
     UTL_HTTP.SET_HEADER(l_http_req, 'Port', '8888');
As you can see it tells to me that the map request string is empty but im sending the map request in the next way:
     UTL_HTTP.WRITE_TEXT(l_http_req, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><map_request datasource="stream" srid="8307" basemap="" width="960" height="768" antialiasing="false" format="GIF_URL" title="Demonstration"></map_request>');
     l_http_resp := utl_http.get_response(l_http_req);
     utl_http.read_text(l_http_resp, l_value);
     response := sys.XMLTYPE.createxml(l_value);
     utl_http.end_response(l_http_resp);
     img_url := response.EXTRACT('/map_response/map_image/map_content/@url').getstringval();
img_url := response.EXTRACT('/map_response/map_image/map_content/@url').getstringval();
obviously because the server response its not ok
the server response is (i get this message in my l_value variable):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><oms_error>Message:[oms] empty or null xml map request string.

What i want to know its why the server says that the map request string is empty. As you can see the map request is not empty, but when i send to the server something happens that sends this map request string empty to the server.
The next is the console of the omserver:

As you can see the arrive empty to the server, what can be wrong

Hi,
in this map request, it looks that the basemap string is empty.
UTL_HTTP.WRITE_TEXT(l_http_req, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><map_request datasource="stream" srid="8307" basemap="" width="960" height="768" antialiasing="false" format="GIF_URL" title="Demonstration"></map_request>');
