XML Parse issues when using Network Data Model LOD with Springframework 3

Hello,
I am having issues with using using NDM in conjuction with Spring 3. The problem is that there is a dependency on the ConfigManager class in that it has to use Oracle's xml parser from xmlparserv2.jar, and this parser seems to have a history of problems with parsing Spring schemas.
My setup is as follows:
Spring Version: 3.0.1
Oracle: 11GR2 and corresponding spatial libraries
Note that when using the xerces parser, there is no issue here. It only while using Oracle's specific parser which appears to be hard-coded into the ConfigManager. Spring fortunately offers a workaround, where I can force it to use a specific parser when loading the spring configuration as follows:
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl But this is an extra deployment task we'd rather not have. Note that this issue has been brought up before in relation to OC4J. See the following link:
How to change the defaut xmlparser on OC4J Standalone 10.1.3.4 for Spring 3
My question is, is there any other way to configure LOD where it won't have the dependency on the oracle parser?
Also, fyi, here is the exception that is occurring as well as the header for my spring file.
org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException:

I ran into this exact issue while trying to get hibernate and spring working with an oracle XMLType column, and found a better solution than to use JVM arguments as you mentioned.
Why is it happening?
The xmlparserv2.jar uses the JAR Services API (Service Provider Mechanism) to change the default javax.xml classes used for the SAXParserFactory, DocumentBuilderFactory and TransformerFactory.
How did it happen?
The javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder looks for custom implementations by checking for, in this order, environment variables, %JAVA_HOME%/lib/jaxp.properties, then for config files under META-INF/services on the classpath, before using the default implementations included with the JDK (com.sun.org.*).
Inside xmlparserv2.jar exists a META-INF/services directory, which the javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder class picks up and uses:
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXDocumentBuilderFactory as the default)
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXParserFactory as the default)
META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXTransformerFactory as the default)
Solution?
Switch all 3 back, otherwise you'll see weird errors. javax.xml.parsers.* fix the visible errors, while the javax.xml.transform.* fixes more subtle XML parsing (in my case, with apache commons configuration reading/writing).
QUICK SOLUTION to solve the application server startup errors:
JVM Arguments (not great)
To override the changes made by xmlparserv2.jar, add the following JVM properties to your application server startup arguments. The java.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder logic will check environment variables first.
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
However, if you run test cases using @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) or similar, you will still experience the error.
BETTER SOLUTION to the application server startup errors AND test case errors:
Option 1: Use JVM arguments for the app server and @BeforeClass statements for your test cases.
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");
If you have a lot of test cases, this becomes painful.
Option 2: Create your own Service Provider definition files in the compile/runtime classpath for your project, which will override those included in xmlparserv2.jar.
In a maven spring project, override the xmlparserv2.jar settings by creating the following files in the %PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources directory:
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl as the default)
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl as the default)
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl as the default)
These files are referenced by both the application server (no JVM arguments required), and solves any unit test issues without requiring any code changes.
This is a snippet of my longer solution for how to get hibernate and spring to work with an oracle XMLType column, found on stackoverflow.

Xcelsius XML Connection Issue when using a Crystal created XML file

HI Xcelsius/Crystal Gurus,
I am running Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.2.9.698 and Xcelsius 2008 5.3.0.0 Build 12,3,0,670,
I am attempting to create an XML file from a Crystal report which will be consumed by an Xcelsius Dashboard. Apparently, there is something with the file that Xcelsius does not like.
I have formatted the report exactly as Xcelsius requires and exporting via text with an xml extension to create an .xml file. When I add an XML Connection in Xcelsius and add the appropriate names/range, etc...I am able to see the file via the Preview XML button on the Connection, but when I use a component, I am not seeing the data in the component.
I can 'recreate' the file in NotePad by manually typing in the entries to look exactly like the file created by Crystal and set up a connection in Xcelsius to consume that file and it works beautifully.
Does anyone have any experience with using Crystal Reports to create an XML file (not using the XML Export, but by exporting as a Text and adding an extension)?
Is it possible that Crystal is adding hidden characters or something? I can pull this Crystal created file into an XML editor or MS Word and it is validated as a good XML File.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

This article is all about setting up security on the web service. But, I just want to connect to the web service as a client using the proxy and the web service doesn't have any security set on it at this time.
I am getting a connection timeout, even when I set the syncMaxWaitTime in the domain.xml file on the app server to a higher number (although this doesn't seem to affect the time it takes for the debugger to return).

How to use NetworkConstraint in Network Data Model?

e.g. In a transportation application, you may drive from Node1 to Node2 along Link12, and from Node2 to Node4 along Link24, but you can not 'turn-left' from Link12 to Link24, how to restrict this in Oracle Spatial Network Data Model?
Is there any examples?
Thanks a lot.

The only way I know to do it, is to have a more complex node model. Instead of a simple node joining links 12 and 24, you need several at that point that link the streets. For example, with a standard four-way intersection, each end of the streets would have a node (warning CRUDE drawing):
..A
B.+.C
..D
Links between those nodes could have directional restrictions, or not even exist at all between any two. So, you could set it up such that From D to A and B to C you can go either way. For right turns, D to C, C to A, A to B, and B to D are directional. For left turns, C to D, A to C, and B to A are directional, with no D to B link existing.
Hope that makes sense.

Path direction in Oracle spatial network data model

Hi all,
can any one help me how to implement path direction using oracle network data Model?
We are using Oracle Spatial database. there is one feature called network constraint in Network data Model. but how to implement path direction of my Network ? Please help me any one

The path direction in a Spatial network is enabled at creation time when calling the create network procedure such as SDO_NET.CREATE_LOGICAL_NETWORK. If you describe the Create procedure you're using you should see a IS_DIRECTED argument, which when set to TRUE will enable path direction. Then just ensure that your links are created in the right direction -specifying correct orientation for start node and end node.
Cheers,
Stuart.

Unable to parse query when using dblink in forms 4.5

Hi,
I have created a query that uses a DBlink because I need to do query on a table located on another dbase. I've used the query on creating my report using Reports 6i. The report needs to be called from a menu on our system, which was developed under Developer 2000 (forms 4.5). The problem is, when I tried to access the report from the menu, it returns the error 'unable to parse query'. What I did after getting error was to create a dummy module using Forms 6i, and call my report from there. It worked fine.
By the way, the table that I'm accessing using the dblink is under Oracle 9i dbase, and the dbase of the system that I've been working at is Oracle 8i.
I don't have any idea on what's causing this error. Is there a compatibility issue when using a dblink located in Oracle 9i database with forms 4.5?
Thanks!

Hello,
Not sure if it is the good answer, but I know that Forms does not recognize dblink and owner.object syntax. You have to create a simple synomym that point to the distant object and use this synonym within Forms.

A website I need to get information from returns a message stating that I do not have the most recent XML parser, and suggests using IE 5.5 or newer. This, of course, I have no intention of doing. Any suggestions?

This is supposed to be an animated Help page. However, when Itry to click on it, it gives me the message:
Your browser does not seem to have the most updated XML parser.
Please use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or up for PointingTheWay features.

Network data model for public transport

Hi,
I've been playing with Gis for the last 10 years and now I am enrolled in a project to find best way to go from one point to another in Barcelona (Spain) locations, using the public transport network.
The goal is to get a route, from one address to another (both given as inputs), formed by:
-     a 1st piece of path walking to the bus stop
-     a 2nd piece of path involving the bus used to go from one bus stop to another
-     optional 3rd piece of path with a second bus
-     the last piece of path to walk from the destination bus stop to the destination address.
This is a nice problem to resolve with a quite good looking software like the Oracle NDM. I know the big problem will be to put all the data in the right format.
But the question I’d like to share with you would be to approve or improve the algorithm I am thinking to resolve this:
STRUCTURE
Network Data Model NDM_1: creation of a SDO spatial network with all the streets and cross-roads to walk through
Other NDM_2 to store the bus stops with the bus-route-linking information.
     The reason to put them separately is for easily maintenance (a priori).
     [A second approach perhaps would be to put the bus stops as nodes of NDM_1 also]
ALGORITHM
1. Look for bus-stops near the geolocated origin address. (say listing BS_ORIG_list)
2. Look for bus-stops near the geolocated destination address. (say listing BS_DEST_list)
3. Search through NDM_2 for possible correspondences between BS_ORIG_list and BS_DEST_list through single bus line or by two different bus lines applying a network constraint.
(if not correspondence found or if more than 2 bus lines needed, abort by app requirement)
4. Find the walking paths needed to complete the various routes found in step 3 to get from address origin to destination
5. Order the results by time spent or by meters to walk.
Sure there might be improvements to this solution and also other ways to face such a common problem.
Thanks in advance,
David Foix

Hi Andrejus,
Thanks for answering.
I read through your thread already...
I understand and agree it would be a multimodal network. But what would that mean in the time of storing the data and asking for the route?
But I am still doubting the way to query for the resulting route. Having two adresses to join, would there be a nice function or procedure to ask for the route giving preference to walk the minimum meters and use preferently the bus network?
Or should I rely on the first algorithm I proposed? I thought there would be a nicer solution.
In your case, "road transport, railway transport, naval transport and air transport" I understand it would be a case to use different networks as they don't share spatial geometry, only some nodes..isn't it? Did you have the need to join all of them to find route solution giving preference to one of them?
Regards,
David

Populating One way path in our Network data model

Oracle network data modele on mapviewer

bonjour , goodmorning
English:
I have an application of oracle network data modele witch contains node , link , plink and path tables. and i like to view this whith mapviewer application on web page, i was setup mapviewer 10.1 with OC4J and i saw the mvdemo without errors ... please get me the steps to do for visualizing my network.
Français:
j'ai mon propre réseau oracle network data modele et je voudrais le visualiser avec mapviewer sur une page web. le réseau contient les quatres tables necéssaire et pas de probleme dans ce coté. j'ai bien installer mapviewer avec le serveur OC4j et j'ai visualiser l'exemple mvdemo sans aucun probleme... SVP indiquez moi les etapes a suivre afin de visualiser mon reseau.

First may I recommend that you use the latest MapViewer quick start kit, which is 11g R1.
On your mapviewer web site, if you click the "Demos" tab, there is a link to a simple Network demo page. Have you tried using that? You should populate it with your own network data (network name et al). Let us know if you need more information on how to make this demo work with your data.

Odd issue when using UDT (user defined type)

Hi all,
11g.
I ran into an odd issue when using UDT, I have these 4 schemas: USER_1, USER_2, USER_A, USER_B.
Both USER_1 and USER_2 have an UDT (actually a nested table):
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TAB_NUMBERS AS TABLE OF NUMBER(10)USER_A has a synonym points to the type in USER_1:
create or replace synonym TAB_NUMBERS for USER_1.TAB_NUMBERS;USER_B has a synonym points to the type in USER_2:
create or replace synonym TAB_NUMBERS for USER_2.TAB_NUMBERS;Both USER_A and USER_B have a procedure which uses the synonym:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_test (p1 in tab_numbers)
IS
BEGIN
NULL;
END;And in the C# code:
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection("data source=mh;user id=USER_A;password=...");
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "proc_test";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter op = new OracleParameter();
op.ParameterName = "p1";
op.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
op.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Object;
op.UdtTypeName = "TAB_NUMBERS";
Nested_Tab_Mapping_To_Object nt = new Nested_Tab_Mapping_To_Object();
nt.container = new decimal[] { 1, 2 };
op.Value = nt;
......This code works fine, but it raises an error when I change the connection string from USER_A to USER_B, the error says:
OCI-22303: type ""."TAB_NUMBERS" not foundInterestingly, if I change op.UdtTypeName = "TAB_NUMBERS"; to op.UdtTypeName = "USER_2.TAB_NUMBERS", the error is gone, and everything works fine.
Anyone has any clues?
Thanks in advance.

JTable text alignment issues when using JPanel as custom TableCellRenderer

Hi there,
I'm having some difficulty with text alignment/border issues when using a custom TableCellRenderer. I'm using a JPanel with GroupLayout (although I've also tried others like FlowLayout), and I can't seem to get label text within the JPanel to align properly with the other cells in the table. The text inside my 'panel' cell is shifted downward. If I use the code from the DefaultTableCellRenderer to set the border when the cell receives focus, the problem gets worse as the text shifts when the new border is applied to the panel upon cell selection. Here's an SSCCE to demonstrate:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.GroupLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.border.Border;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
import javax.swing.table.TableColumn;
import sun.swing.DefaultLookup;
public class TableCellPanelTest extends JFrame {
private class PanelRenderer extends JPanel implements TableCellRenderer {
    private JLabel label = new JLabel();
    public PanelRenderer() {
      GroupLayout layout = new GroupLayout(this);
      layout.setHorizontalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      layout.setVerticalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      setLayout(layout);
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
      if (isSelected) {
        setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
      } else {
        setBackground(table.getBackground());
      // Border section taken from DefaultTableCellRenderer
      if (hasFocus) {
        Border border = null;
        if (isSelected) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusSelectedCellHighlightBorder");
        if (border == null) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusCellHighlightBorder");
        setBorder(border);
        if (!isSelected && table.isCellEditable(row, column)) {
          Color col;
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellForeground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setForeground(col);
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellBackground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setBackground(col);
      } else {
        setBorder(null /*getNoFocusBorder()*/);
      // Set up our label
      label.setText(value.toString());
      label.setFont(table.getFont());
      return this;
public TableCellPanelTest() {
    JTable table = new JTable(new Integer[][]{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}, new String[]{"A", "B", "C"});
    // set up a custom renderer on the first column
    TableColumn firstColumn = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
    firstColumn.setCellRenderer(new PanelRenderer());
    getContentPane().add(table);
    pack();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        new TableCellPanelTest().setVisible(true);
}There are basically two problems:
1) When first run, the text in the custom renderer column is shifted downward slightly.
2) Once a cell in the column is selected, it shifts down even farther.
I'd really appreciate any help in figuring out what's up!
Thanks!

1) LayoutManagers need to take the border into account so the label is placed at (1,1) while labels just start at (0,0) of the cell rect. Also the layout manager tend not to shrink component below their minimum size. Setting the labels minimum size to (0,0) seems to get the same effect in your example. Doing the same for maximum size helps if you set the row height for the JTable larger. Easier might be to use BorderLayout which ignores min/max for center (and min/max height for west/east, etc).
2) DefaultTableCellRenderer uses a 1px border if the UI no focus border is null, you don't.
3) Include a setDefaultCloseOperation is a SSCCE please. I think I've got a hunderd test programs running now :P.

Using network data to detect DPI

"Network transparency cuts both ways. It can be exploited to engage in surveillance of Internet service providers as well as Internet users. In order to better understand DPI use and the scope of its deployment, the project makes use of crowdsourced network monitoring data. So far, we have used data from a test known as Glasnost, which was developed by German researchers to detect blocking or throttling of BitTorrent and other peer to peer (P2P) file sharing protocols. The detailed workings of the Glasnost test are described in Dischinger, Marcon, et al (2010)."
using network data to detect dpi
Use tools running on M-Lab to test your Internet connection.

John the point being that DPI would need to be used based on what the post says to keep it unthrottled.
It's DPI that is the privacy concern not throtteling so BT's use of DPI which may be increasing is a concern not least since they have been known to run 'tests' of dubious legality before now (Phorm or some such as I recall)
