XML namespace in xml converted pdf

Hello everyone
I have a problem when converting pdf's in xml. Everytime when I convert a PDF(either with Acrobat or with mailing the file as XML) in XML the date fields always in middle shows the xml namespace xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" . We are using these xml's to transfer data to an accounting software but the software recognizes the xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" as an error and because of that the data couldn't be uploaded. We created the PDF using a xsd scheme made in the accounting software. Is there a way to get rid of xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" showing in the date fields.
I appreciate every possible help

Hi,
It sounds like you have the nillable="true" attribute in you XSD for the date field.
If you XSD looks like;
<xs:element name="Date1" type="xs:date" nillable="true"/>
Then you will get the following when the field Date1 is bound to is left blank.
<Date1 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true"/>
This is the correct behaviour, so I am either not understanding the problem or there is a bug in the accounting software you are using.
Maybe you could try replacing the nullable="true" with a minOccurs="0". This will mean the element will not appear in the XML at all.

Bruce

Change XML Namespace in XML

Hi gurus,
i have imported an XSD file as an external definition and use this for a mapping. After my mapping i have an xml file like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:Aviso xmlns:ns1="http://Post.AG/PartnerInterface/Schemas/PVSdeAt/Aviso_V1.0">
- <ns2:Header xmlns:ns2="http://PostAG.PartnerInterface.Schemas.PVS_deAt.AvisoHeader">

<ns2:Versanddatum>2009-06-26T16:12:25</ns2:Versanddatum>
</ns2:Header>

<ns3:Absendername1>WNT Deutschland GmbH</ns3:Absendername1>
<ns3:Absendername2 />
<ns3:Absendername3 />
<ns3:Absendername4 />
Now the question is how to change the namespace tags ns1 ns2 ns3? The target XML-File should view like this: (ns1 = ns0; ns2 = ns1; ns3 = ns2)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:Aviso xmlns:ns1="http://Post.AG/PartnerInterface/Schemas/PVSdeAt/Aviso_V1.0">

Hi,
you can use a XSLT mapping as step within you Interface mapping to change the namespace tags. Just make sure the produced message matches the XSD structure (external definition) of the destination message interface.

Hi all,
As an extension to Fred's question, is it possible to later use the generated XML data and present it in a PDF template? It used to be possible using the FDF format, but Adobe seem to have discontinued that.
My basic requirement is to send the form data to a third party in XML format and for them to be able to view it in human-readable format, preferably using a PDF as a template.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Jonathan

How to remove element namespaces in XML file using DOM or SAX?

Hi Guys,
I developed a JAVA mapping in XI to add name spaces for XML file, after mapping,name spaces xmlns="http://www.mro.com/mx/integration" and xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" were added correctly, but for some nodes, such as <Header> and <Content>, a name space xmlns="" was added automatically.Please check below files to compare.
It looks like be added automatically by XI. I didn't process anything for these nodes in JAVA program.
Now the issue is, how can I remove these redundant namespaces? Such as xmlns="".
Can I remove them using DOM or SAX in JAVA Mapping?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Milan,
Thanks for your replay.
Actually when I used module XMLAnonymizerBean to convert namespaces, the header of XML, such as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> was converted to format <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>, quote was converted to single quote. Although I set parameter anonymizer.quote = ", it still didn't work, single quote appeared instead of quote.
I'm not sure why this happened. Can anyone help to clarify this?
Thanks

Convert XML string into XML

Hi All,
Can you please let me know for any sample code in xslt/java mapping for converting XML string into XML. We use SAP Pi 7.0
My XML string starts like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_ReceiverFileStructure <namespace>"><Output><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-9"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="<xsl>"?><Tarih_Date Tarih="11.09.2014" Date="09/11/2014>
Thanks,
Pavithra

Thanks Praveen. It worked.
However, the xml i have is an extract from a exchange rate URL and it has the reference to a xsl in it as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-9"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="<ABC.xsl>"?>.
So there is an error in sxmb_moni. Is it possible to remove this.

XML Namespace handling?

Hi,
I am having a typical problem here. Is there any way I can set a namespace to an XML string before I convert it into a Document. The problem is I have this XML string and I am trying to parse it, but I get a java.io.Nullpointer Exception because one of the tags in the XML string has a name space and I need to assign a name space to it here.
here's an example...
Following is my XML string say....
<metadata>
     <schema>Schema 1</schema>
     <schemaversion>DX:MD1.0 S:1.0</schemaversion>
     <dlmd:record>Record</dlmd:record>
</metadata>
I need to parse this string, but I can not do it without setting a namespace for dlmd:record! Or is there a way I can do it without the namespace...I tried using the setNamespaceaware() option but it does not seem to work.
It's sort of strange as to why I need to assign a name space to it here...but thats the problem I have to deal with...
any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Prashanth

Prashanth,
this is what I'm doing. First, the parser test code:
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
public class JAXPDOMTest {
    public void domParse(String url) {
        DocumentBuilder parser;
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        factory.setValidating(false);
        factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
        try {
            parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
            Document doc = parser.parse(url);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    static public void main(String[] args)
       JAXPDOMTest x=new JAXPDOMTest();
       x.domParse("test.xml");
}and here's test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<metadata>
   <schema>Schema 1</schema>
   <schemaversion>DX:MD1.0 S:1.0</schemaversion>
   <dlmd:record>Record</dlmd:record>
</metadata>jaxp-1.1 is my directory containing the official 1.1 release and my complete classpath look like this:
CLASSPATH=d:\xml_tools\jaxp-1.1\crimson.jar;d:\xml_tools\jaxp-1.1\jaxp.jar;.
I run the above (java JAXPDOMTest), I get:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parseInternal(Parser2.java:523)
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parse(Parser2.java:304)
at org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl.parse(XMLReaderImpl.java:433)
at org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(DocumentBuilderImpl.java:179)

at JAXPDOMTest.domParse(JAXPDOMTest.java:15)
at JAXPDOMTest.main(JAXPDOMTest.java:24)
I set the class path to:
CLASSPATH=d:\xml_tools\crimson-1.1.1\crimson.jar;d:\xml_tools\crimson-1.1.1\jaxp.jar;.
and, voila, no exception.
Hope that helps,

How to convert xml to non xml in business service

I have created a business service which routes the data to the respective given email addresses.But the body of the body is in the form of xml tags but need the body to be in normal document type format.
I have tried converting xml to mlf format(with delimiter '\n') before routing but still its the same xml tag which i get it from the body ,the only change being this time its a very simple xml file with just elements in it and no namespace declaration ,namespace definition etc.Please help me solve this problem?

I am not sure exactly in which format you want to translate the XML but you may use either MFL transformation/Java callout in OSB to convert XML into non-XML or vice-versa -

The issue which i am facing is it due to the problem with the service.xml (Which i dont think so..), Or is it any thing to do with the XSD file which i am using.
Can any body give me some guide lines for this ????
Thanks in advance.

Any one any thoughts..
I need to find out the solution for this as soon as possible; Not able to proceed further...

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.
Currently in fusion we are generating a pdf file using given Rtf template and dataModal source through Ess BIPJobType.xml .
This is generating pdf successfully.
As per requirement from Oracle GSI team, they need index xml file of corresponding generated pdf file for their own business scenario.
Please see the following attached sample file .
PDf file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/BPA_Print_Trx-_output.pdf
Index file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/o39861053.out.idx.txt
In R12 ,
     We are doing this through java API call to FOProcessor and build the pdf. Here is sample snapshot :
     xmlStream = PrintInvoiceThread.generateXML(pCpContext, logFile, outFile, dbCon, list, aLog, debugFlag);
     OADocumentProcessor docProc = new OADocumentProcessor(xmlStream, tmpDir);
     docProc.process();
     PrintInvoiceThread :
          out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
               out.print("<xapi:requestset ");
               out.println("<xapi:filesystem output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + "\"/>");
               out.println("<xapi:indexfile output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + ".idx\">");
               out.println(" <totalpages>${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}</totalpages>");
               out.println(" <totaldocuments>${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}</totaldocuments>");
               out.println("</xapi:indexfile>");
               out.println("<xapi:document output-type=\"pdf\">");
out.println("<xapi:customcontents>");
XMLDocument idxDoc = new XMLDocument();
idxDoc.setEncoding("UTF-8");
((XMLElement)(generator.buildIndexItems(idxDoc, am, row)).getDocumentElement()).print(out);
idxDoc = null;
out.println("</xapi:customcontents>");
     In r12 we have a privilege to use page number variable through oracle.apps.xdo.batch.ControlFile
          public static final String VAR_BEGIN_PAGE = "${VAR_BEGIN_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_END_PAGE = "${VAR_END_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_DOCS = "${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_PAGES = "${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}";
Is there any similar java library which do the same thing in fusion .
Note: I checked in the BIP doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e18863/javaapis.htm#CIHHDDEH
          Section 7.11.3.2 Invoking Processors with InputStream .
But this is not helping much to me. Is there any other document/view-let which covers these thing .
Appreciate any help/suggestions.
