XML Nodeset to String representation

I'm trying to assign/cast an XML nodeset to a string and retain all of the element tags in the string representation. I've tried using the string(), getNodeValue(), and get-content-as-string() expression functions, but all appear to strip the element tags from the string output. Anyone have an idea how to go about this?
Thanks,
Peter

Oddly enough, this transform did the trick...
<xsl:template match="/">
<ns0:Blahqueue>
<blahInstance>
<xsl:value-of select="orcl:get-content-as-string(/mstns:blahSchema)"/>
</blahInstance>
</ns0:Blahqueue>
</xsl:template>

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

Calling a method via String representation of instance

Is it possible to call a method of a specific (and already existing) instance of a class using a string representation of the instance?

By "String representation of an instance," I simply mean a string that has the same format as a normal method call would have. So where a method would normally be called like this:
ClassX itsInstance = new ClassX();
itsInstance.methodX();
The string representation would be:
String instanceName = "itsInstance";
And there would be some way of using this string to call the method referred to by instanceName.
The idea here is that I want to use the existing instance, whereas using reflection, as below, would create a new instance:
String className = "X";
String methodName = "print";
Class xClass = Class.forName(className);
Method xMethod = xClass.getMethod(methodName,null);
Object object = xClass.newInstance();
xMethod.invoke(object,null);

Problem in sending XML input as String in BPEL

Hi,
We have a BPEL flow (assign, invoke, assign) which takes an XML input as String.
<RegisterCustomerOnVAS><CustomerID>100</CustomerID><MSISDN>9999999</MSISDN><CustomerName>sanjeev</CustomerName><customerInfo>new user</customerInfo></RegisterCustomerOnVAS>
Assignment is doing fine, but when Invoke calls partner link, the input is getting parsed and only the first text value (eg 100) is getting passed to the partner webservice instead of the entire XML as string.
Can any one please help us in fixing in this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
You should watch your assign activity (maybe a bad assigment level in copy rule). I think the probem is there.

Converting XML Document to String

Dear All,
I am quite new to Java Web Services. I have made a Java Class which calls all the web services . I am displaying the results on a Command prompt. Below is my sample code:
import javax.xml.rpc.Service;
import javax.xml.rpc.Stub;
import horusWS.Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_Services_Impl;
import horusWS.Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_ServicesSoap;
public class JavaClient {
public static void main(String[] args)
Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_Services_Impl service = new Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_Services_Impl();
Horus_x0020_Web_x0020_ServicesSoap port = service.getHorus_x0020_Web_x0020_ServicesSoap();
String str;
str = port.getTextFeedbackLearner(1,"P001",1);
//where getTextFeedbackLearner is the my Web Service.
System.out.println(str);
System.out.println returns the web service in string format. Now I want to compare this string to my actual getTextFeedbackLearner.xml file. But I think I need to convert getTextFeedbackLearner.xml to string first. Please let me know
how can I convert an XML Document to String.
Thanking you in Anticipation.
cheers,
Sunil Sabir

You can read the XML document as you read any other file.
Read it into a String variable.
Check java.io.FileReader, java.io.BufferReader, etc.

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:

Hi,
in this map request, it looks that the basemap string is empty.

How to pass a xml CDATA in string element when OSB calling a webservice?

How to pass a xml CDATA in string element when OSB calling a webservice?
I have a business service (biz) that route to operation of a webservice.
A example of request to this webservice legacy:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:eg="example">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ex:execute>
<ex:arg><![CDATA[<searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
<documentNumber>12345678909</documentNumber>
</searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>]]></ex:arg>
</ex:execute>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
the type of ex:arg is a string.
How to pass this CDATA structure to webservice in OSB?

Steps to solve this problem:
1. Create a XML Schema. E.g.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     elementFormDefault="unqualified">
     <xs:complexType name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="documentNumber" minOccurs="0">
                    <xs:annotation>
                         <xs:documentation>
                         </xs:documentation>
                    </xs:annotation>
                    <xs:simpleType>
                         <xs:restriction base="xs:string" />
                    </xs:simpleType>
               </xs:element>
     </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
     <xs:element name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber" type="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber"></xs:element>
</xs:schema>
With this XSD, the XML can be generate:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<searchCustomerByDocumentNumber xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber.xsd">
<documentNumber>documentNumber</documentNumber>
</searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
2. Create a XQuery to create a searchCustomerByDocumentNumber ComplexType. E.g.:
(:: pragma bea:global-element-return element="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber" location="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber.xsd" ::)
declare namespace xf = "http://tempuri.org/NovoSia/CreateSearchCustomerByDocumentNumber/";
declare function xf:CreateSearchCustomerByDocumentNumber($documentNumber as xs:string)
as element(searchCustomerByDocumentNumber) {
<searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
<documentNumber>{ $documentNumber }</documentNumber>
</searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
declare variable $documentNumber as xs:string external;
xf:CreateSearchCustomerByDocumentNumber($documentNumber)
3. In your stage in pipeline proxy add a assign calling the XQuery created passing the document number of your payload.
Assign to a variable (e.g.: called searchCustomerByDocumentNumberRequest)
4. Create another XQuery Transformation (XQ) to create a request to the webservice legacy. E.g.:
<ex:arg>{fn-bea:serialize($searchCustomerByDocumentNumberRequest)}</ex:arg>
For more information about xquery serialize function:
41.2.6 fn-bea:serialize()
You can use the fn-bea:serialize() function if you need to represent an XML document as a string instead of as an XML element. For example, you may want to exchange an XML document through an EJB interface and the EJB method takes String as argument. The function has the following signature:
fn-bea:serialize($input as item()) as xs:string

How to receive this CDATA structure to webservice in OSB?

Similiar to the answer How to pass a xml CDATA in string element when OSB calling a webservice?
Use the xquery function fn-bea:inlinedXML rather than fn-ben:serialize
Steps to solve this problem:
1. Create a XML Schema. E.g.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:complexType name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" minOccurs="0">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>
</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string" />
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse" type="searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse"></xs:element>
</xs:schema>
2. Create a XQuery to create a searchCustomerByDocumentNumber ComplexType. E.g.:
3. Create a XQuery Transformation (XQ) to get the CDATA response to the webservice legacy. E.g.:
declare namespace ns0 = "novosiaws";
declare function xf:getReponse($searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse as element(ns0:searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse))
as element(searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse) {
fn-bea:inlinedXML($searchCustomerByDocumentNumberResponse/ns0:arg)
For more information about xquery function:
fn-bea:inlinedXML
The fn-bea:inlinedXML() function parses textual XML and returns an instance of the XQuery 1.0 Data Model.
The function has the following signature:
fn-bea:inlinedXML($text as xs:string) as node()*
where $text is the textual XML to parse.
Examples:
fn-bea:inlinedXML(“<e>text</e>”) returns element “e”.
fn-bea:inlinedXML(“<?xml version=”1.0”><e>text</e>”) returns a document with root element “e”.

Passing whole xml to a string

Dear Experts,
      i want to pass the whole input xml as a string to the UDF which does a soap look up . how do we do it ?
It is file to soap lookup to jdbc.
     Qos would normally be that of the sender. In the case of soap lookup , where do we specify the QOS?
    Does the soap reciever adapter make use of wsdl while creating the soap request , and if yes , how ?
Thanks,
Aju

Hi Aju,
Passing the whole input as a string can be easily achieved through java mapping. Use the following code in the execute method of your java class:
     StringBuffer strbuffer = new StringBuffer();
     byte[] b = new byte[[4096]];
     for (int n; (n = in.read(b)) != -1;)
     strbuffer.append(new String(b, 0, n));
     data = strbuffer.toString();
For more on SOAP lookUp use this blog:
Webservice Calls From a User Defined Function.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjeev.

Convertion of XML node to string using Xquery transformation in OSB

How to convert XML node to string using a built in function using Xquery transformation in OSB? In BPEL we have the Xpath extension function ora:getContentAsString() to do the same.

fn:bea-serialize() function converts xml node to string. but it assigns namespace prefix in every xml node during the conversion. So is there any function to remove the namespace prefix from XML node using Xquery built in function?

Numeric Value to String representation

Hi!
I was wondering if there was an easy way to getting the String representation of a number (specifically an integer). I am trying to format a message that would be like this:
Three (3) records have been updated.
Getting the (3) is easy, but my problem is getting the word Three. There are numerous records, which means an Array would be close to impossible coz it will take time to produce an output.
Is there an easy way? (1 = One, 2 = Two,..., 20 = Twenty)
Thanks!

I'd guess that a switch statement will be about as fast as anything else, since it's a static structure and the compiler should be able to optimize it effectively.
int number = setMeToAValue;
switch (number) {
    case 0: System.out.println("zero"); break;
    case 1: System.out.println("one"); break;
    case 2: System.out.println("two"); break;
    case 3: System.out.println("three"); break;
    case 4: System.out.println("four"); break;
    case 5: System.out.println("five"); break;
    case 6: System.out.println("six"); break;
    case 7: System.out.println("seven"); break;
    case 8: System.out.println("eight"); break;
    case 9: System.out.println("nine"); break;
    case 10: System.out.println("ten"); break;
    case 11: System.out.println("eleven"); break;
    case 12: System.out.println("twelve"); break;
    case 19 System.out.println("nineteen"); break;
    case 20 System.out.println("twenty"); break;
    case 30 System.out.println("thirty"); break;
    case 40 System.out.println("forty"); break;
To get 21 go after the parts and concantenate them. case 20 + case 1 produces 21, etc
