Hi,
I have created a vo with transient attributes and attached the vo to the am.
But when I am trying to insert the row from my collection, it is giving me '
oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25058: Definition of resField of type Attribute not found in ResVO
But I have the transient attribute resField in my ResVO and I attached the same to AM also
I am trying to get the VO in my controller like the below:
OAViewObject resvo = (OAViewObject) am.findViewObject("ResVO");
if(vo==null)
resvo = am.createViewObject("ResVO","xxcust.oracle.apps.xxcust.server.ResVO");
if(vo!= null)
resvo.executeQuery();
//Creating and inserting values into the vo
Row row = resvo.createRow();
resvo.insertRow(row);
row.setAttribute("resField", "AB");
row.setAttribute("Value", "CD");
row.setAttribute("Desc", "Test");
When I am running my page, I am getting the
oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25058: Definition of resField of type Attribute not found in ResVO
I checked the spelling and the attribute name is correct.
Is it the problem with VO having all the transient attributes or am I missing something?
I appreciate your help...

Parsing String to XML Attribute bug

Hello!
I'm trying to convert String to org.w3c.dom.Document with javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder, but when I check my XML Document after creating, I find that all the Attributes are like "" or "
 ". Does anyone have some idea why that problem is and how it can be solved?
Thanks a lot!
Svigi

There are lots of bug reports about Java 5's built-in XML parser screwing up on attribute values. Try forcing Java to use the current version of Xerces (download it) instead of whatever it has built in, if that seems to apply to you. On the other hand it's possible that the bug is in your code too.

Ejb-jar.xml generation bug?

Hi,
I noticed that TopLink seems to forget the tag <primkey-field> and put java.lang.Object instead of Integer in the tag <prim-key-class>?
Is this an error from me?
Vlad

Hi,
For a JEE5 EJB module, rather than using EJBGen, you can use WLS specific annotations for configuring common settings. If you follow the link below, you can see a list of supported EJB annotations. Disregard the fact that the documentation section title is WebLogic Kodo Annotations. That is incorrect and I've filed a bug for it.
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/ejb30/annotations.html#wp1438036.
Unfortunately, we don't yet support setting all weblogic-ejb-jar.xml configuration values via annoations so in some cases a weblogic-ejb-jar.xml is still required.
You can hand edit your weblogic-ejb-jar.xml and the example you posted below should work fine.

Escape XML.vi bug?

When I convert an empty 2D array of I32 to XML using Flatten To XML then run it through the Escape XML.vi the ouput string contains NULLs.
It seems that the tags with no actual value in between causes a NULL (\00) character to be produced between the tags. Is this right or is it a bug?
Test by sending the constant "" through the "Escape XML.vi" that comes with LabVIEW 6.1.

Yes, this is a bug. The problem is in xml.llb\EscapeChars.vi. The problem is that when the XML In string is empty the while loop still runs once...which produces 0, the default value for a U8. This \00 is now added in between the val tags. To fix this VI just add a case to the case structure for 0 and pass the array straight through.
This bug will be fixed in the next version of LV.

XML Comments Bug

hey fellas
I have almost wrapped up my project except for one stupid bug that am getting. I'm using Oracle XML parser for Java.9.0
I am trying to add some xml comments in the output .xml file but it is giving trouble.
My code:
====
Comment comment =xmldocument.createComment("mary had a lazy lamb");
xmldocument.appendNode(comment);
=====
Now comments are being added in the output xml file. BUT GUESS WHAT, Instead of putting the string like a usual comment in xml like -

It is putting it like -
<?#comment mary had a lazy lamb comments?> (exact code)
This, inadverantly throws an error when I open the file using a browser.
How to over come this.
Thanks

Hi Francine
Thanks for the response.
I am extremely sorry for writting incorrect code in my original post but I am using
=======
xmldocument.appendChild(comment);
========
and not appendNode(comment);
The program works fine and shows no error at run time.
But the output file that is generated [using transform] shows the xml comment code as -
<?#comment comments comments?> (exact code)
and not as desired -

It would be great if you can test and suggest something.
Earlier I started with Crimson parser, then shifted to Xerces and finally to ODK XML parser. Both Crimson and Xerces give comment as desired but ODK API is giving the above undesired comment which cannot be interpreted correctly by the web browser. [ODK is preferable 'cuz of its superior processing speed].
Thanks once again and anticipating a positive response from you.

XML Export Bug - Any workarounds?

Before we go any further, I am running 5.0.3 and I HAVE created a bug report, but since I'm not expecting a new release (bug fix) in the next couple of days/weeks I was hoping the community here might have a workaround or know if there is something I am doing to cause this.
I'm creating a new project with DSLR 1080p/25 settings. I've also tried other 1080p/25 settings and it makes no difference.
I import lots of DSLR 1080p/25 footage (from Canon DSLRs) and several audio only files from a Zoom, recorded at 48Khz. All footage shows in the project correctly (1080p/25) and the footage shows at 48Khz. So far so good.
Drop the footage and audio on to a sequence and export to XML and send to PluralEyes.
Now, I've been using PluralEyes with FCP for a while and it's an excellent product - I really can't recommend it enough, and their tech support is also 1st class. So, with this in mind, it was rather odd that the version for Premiere Pro wasn't syncing as well as the FCP version. Following a few emails back and forth with Singular Software (PluralEyes) it turns out that some of the files (the audio files) are being exported to the XML file incorrectly. They are being exported with a rate of 29.97 and not 25. Not only is the frame rate incorrect, but the duration is set to match 29.97 and not 25.
Here are some extracts from the XML:
PPro Exported as :
<rate>
<timebase>30</timebase>
<ntsc>TRUE</ntsc>
</rate>
<duration>252824</duration>
<timecode>
Should have been:
<rate>
<timebase>25</timebase>
</rate>
<duration>210897</duration>
I am wondering if there is anything I could have done to cause this, maybe in the way I imported files or created projects / sequences etc, or if anyone knows of any work around to force PP to correctly interpret these files?

The Interpret Footage Option is disabled....

Xml finder bugs

This happened in WLI 7.0.2
I wanted to post a generic xml when task became ready. I wanted to do this for
each task in current and future templates that other people in my group will design.
I had written the xml and it was in my local drive.
I tried to use the xml finder functionality for adding the xml to publish into
the repository. It imports but garbles up the xml into a binary string. Due to
this the original contents of the xml are lost.
I have tried all kinds of ways to get an xml imported into the repository but
it does not work. looks like the XML finder has bugs and it does not work.
Has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks

ISE 1.2 Patch 6 Bulk account creation Sponsor portal bug

Hi all, not sure whether anyone has this issue but I noticed yesterday when I do a bulk csv import of users into the sponsor portal that it does not hold the user group I specifiy. In summary I select my CSV file, choose my user type as contractor (guest or contractor) and submit. The import succeeds except that all users are placed into the guest group not the contractor group I specified. You then have to manually alter every single one of them to be in the right group.
Any ideas?

Hi -
I also see this when I import a CSV file of accounts for a different guest role. We have created a second portal (other than the default "guest"). All the new accounts get assigned to Guest regardless of what is specified. The fix has so far been simply reassigning them manually.

XML Document from XML Schema Bug

When an XML document is generated from an XML Schema the XML document does not have all the elements specified in the XML Schema. The XML document only has the root element.
1. Register an XML Schema.
2. Create an XML document with File>New>General>XML>XML Document from XML Schema. The "Generate only Required Elements" is unchecked.
3. The XML document has only the root element.
In JDeveloper 10.1.3 all the elements in the XML Schema get generated.

Also, the component palette for the XML document generated from the XML Schema does not list all the elements in the XML Schema, only the root element is listed. Even if elements are specified as required in the XML Schema with minOccurs="1" and the "Generate only Required Elements" checkbox is selected only the root element gets generated.

[CS3][CS4][VB] XML, Markup - bug or next "cool" feature ?

hi
could anybody please check how it works in JS or AS - what do you get in XML structure - what is tagged - when you try to MarkUp character containing InLine graphic ? or Text object containing only one "character" - InLine graphics
something like this:
Set myPageItem = myText.PageItems.Item(a)
Set myChar = myPageItem.Parent
With myChart.AssociatedXMLElements.Item(1).Parent.XMLElements.Add("qqq")
     Call .Markup(myChar)
End With

        Ok, I figured out the problem. I had read that snippet before and tried it and it didn't work. I then Dim'd artitem as a compoundpathitem instead of pathitem and it worked on the first iteration of the for each loop.   One the second trip through there was an invalid cast exception..but it had upsized the art!   So I just added try/catch to handle the error and it works!
For future reference, anyone that reads this will need to add a reference to the CS4(or whichever version) type library COM object, change the hard coded file paths and it should convert from AI to SVG and Scale it up or down by replacing the 125,125 in the scale matrix by whatever percentage you'd like.   The Userinteractionlevel disables any warnings so that it runs automatic.
Thanks again Carlos...while you didn't give me the exact code I needed, you pointed me at what I had previously dismissed due to a different error.

FOR ORACLE XML TEAM -- XML TOOLS BUG FIXING POLICY/RESPONSE TIME/RELEASE SCHEDULE

Hi,
The release of Oracle XML tools and utilities by Oracle XML team is a significant milestone and is definitely appreciated. However, as part of a large organization, some factors need to be clarified before using these utilities in production softwares.
I have noticed that XML parsers and other utilities are now coming as part of other softwares like JDeveloper etc. Following are my questions to the Oracle XML team and urgent and prompt reply will be greatly appreciated.
1. What is the XML tools support policy. Is it only OTN? Can we buy support? Are these utilities supported if large organizations have corporate server licenses. I have read at the XML site the XDK is fully and freely supported by Oracle Word Wide support. What does this mean?
2. What is the release schedule for the XML tools?
3. What is the response time?
Once again, your help and prompt reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

As you noted many of the Oracle XDK components are production. This means that if your company has an Oracle Server Support contract you will get the corresponding level of support for the production XDK components.
If you don't have one, then OTN is your support resource. We will also have standalone support agreements in the future which you can purchase through the Oracle Store. The response time would be the same as for the server.
There is not a specific release schedule for components on OTN as they have different development schedules.

Workaround for ]] XML export bug with schema?

Hi,
It is a known issue that the ]]> sequence will not export properly to XML. If you are using a DTD, there is an entity-based workaround that is described here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3774389
The question... is there a workaround when using schema? I'm unable to figure it out.
Thanks,
Russ

Hi Lynne,
Thanks again for the thoughts. And by the way, I sympathize with your implicit complaint about how these forums work with respect to revised messages. I am accustomed to hitting Ctrl+S all the time, probably from my FM experience Unfortunately, if you accidentally do it in the forum webpage, it submits the message. The system really needs to send revisions when they occur, because some people might just read the original email and think that's it.
Anyway, I'm intrigued by some things you said. #1 is possible but not preferable, as schema was specifically chosen for the ability to validate attribute values. My level of attribute-based conditionalization is fairly heavy and the schema makes sure that an invalid value cannot be entered. I seem to remember back in the outset that a DTD couldn't do the level of validation I like, but I don't remember the exact reasoning. Note that I frequently assign lots of values to an attribute, tokenized with whitespace as customary.
#3 is what I'm doing now, except with the fancy coverup tricks with spacing and back-end XSLT. I like your ideas.
#4 is actually pure genious and it is the route I think I will go. Something you didn't know yet is that I have a script that automatically formats an XML instance like an XML editor does, incidentally by wrapping <ph> elements and setting color-formatting attributes. Thanks to ExtendScript, I was able to use regular expressions to parse out all the individual components and then create a "map" for the subsequent wrapping/formatting activities. It is quite lovely and gives me the best looking XML instances in town, with a click. Bragging aside, it would be elementary to modify that script slightly to insert another <ph> element as you suggest. Elegant and simple, but I would have never thought of that myself.
Many thanks again,
Russ
