XML Publisher APIs problem.

Hi friends!
I need to convert RTF files into XSL. So I'm running the following simple code:
RTFProcessor rtfProcessor1 = new RTFProcessor("c:\\example.rtf");
rtfProcessor1.setOutput("c:\\example.xsl");
rtfProcessor1.process();
but i'm getting the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at java.util.Hashtable.get(Hashtable.java:333)

     at oracle.apps.xdo.template.RTFProcessor.process(RTFProcessor.java:247)
     at Main.main(Main.java:28)
But opening "example.rtf" with MSWord and resaving it I will get no error.
Why?
I need to convert a huge amount of RTF files so I need to know the reason of this strange error.
Thank you!

Hi,
The error could be in the path what you are providing (\\)
I have been using this API quite sometime for now, and have not faced any issue. Please find the code below. Try giving a single \ in the path. It should work fine
try
RTFProcessor processor = new RTFProcessor("c:\test.rtf");
processor.setOutput("c:\test.xsl");
processor.process();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Regards,
Suresh

How to trigger xml publisher API (ex:Delivering Documents via e-Mail)?

Dear All:
How to use xml publisher API ?
In user's guide always talk API's code.(ex:Delivering Documents via e-Mail
// create delivery manager instance
DeliveryManager dm = new DeliveryManager();
// create a delivery request
DeliveryRequest req =
dm.createRequest(DeliveryManager.TYPE_SMTP_EMAIL);
// set email subject
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_SUBJECT, "Invoice");
// set SMTP server host
req.addProperty(
DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_HOST, "mysmtphost");
// set the sender email address
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_FROM,
"[email protected]");
// set the destination email address
req.addProperty(
DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_TO_RECIPIENTS,
"[email protected], [email protected]" );
// set the content type of the email body
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE,
"text/html");
// set the document file name appeared in the email
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_FILENAME,
"body.html");
// set the document to deliver
req.setDocument("/document/invoice.html");
// submit the request
req.submit();
// close the request
req.close(); )
Not say how to use this code to account effect !!
Having anybody to use API before?
Please tell me how to use that,thanks!!

This is the class for a JCP I created to perform the following:
1) Launch an existing Concurrent Program that produces PDF output
2) Grab the PDF and apply a watermark based on user input or conditions
3) associate the modified PDF to CP output for PASTA printing
It isn't elegant but it is fairly simple. I added the email capability and tested it but am not implementing it at the present time.
there is a fair amount of information out there that explains how to create a JCP councurrent program but very little that demonstrates the class needed.
I hope this helps

XML Publisher Table problem

Hi,
I have been trying to build a table in a BI Report that does the following my attempts so far have not work. What I would like to happen is to have a table that has 15 rows displayed even if there are not 15 line items and in the event of more than 15 line items I would then like the extra lines to rollover to the next page displaying 15 rows in the table even if the remainder of line items is not 15. The report generates output for multiple customers. Please could someone advise how I could do this?
Thank you,
Mark

XML Publisher API Document

Hi,
I am looking for complete XML Publisher Java API Docs. Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks in Advance
~Neeraj

The document
XML Publisher 5.6.2 Core Components APIs
can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/xmlpdocs.html

Where to find - javadocs for XML Publisher' API

The XML Publisher User's Guide section, called Implementation and Developer's Guide->Application Layer APIs, has examples of API's for inserting Templates and Data Definitions.
Unfortunately, XML publisher manual only provides a bunch of
samples and not the detailed javadocs, that wee need.
Where could we find javadoc for XML Publisher?

Hi
You did not specify which version you were on but the java docs are linked from the relevant About Doc for each release:
Release 5.5 Note 316447.1
Release 5.0 Note 295036.1
Release 4.5 Note 269605.1
Just search for 'javadoc' in these docs for the link

XML Publisher Template Problem

Hi
This is very basic question as I am new to XML/BI Publisher
I am using templates in iRecruitment for Offers. I am facing problems when I am formatting numbers and uploading the templates.
Problem is when I see the offer letter from Application, it generates pdf with following format
120u000n00 whereas number should be 120,000.00
My number format is as follows
$#,##0.00;
I am using Word 2007 and saving the file as rtf document. Uploading the document to R12.0.4

What is your locale?
<?show-page-total:TotalFieldName;'Oracle-number-format'?>
"BI Publisher supports two methods for specifying the number format:
• Microsoft Word's Native number format mask
• Oracle's format-number function
Note: You can also use the native XSL format-number function to
format numbers. See: Native XSL Number Formatting, page 5-126."
"To use the Oracle format mask or the Microsoft format mask, the numbers in your data source must be in a raw format, with no formatting applied (for example: 1000.00). If the number has been formatted for European countries (for example: 1.000,00) the format will not work."
Is more than one format model being applied? That will cause problems too.

NOTE : ABOVE MENTIONED LINES ARE CONSTANT ONE.
2. When i ran the report, if my data definition return 5 lines means , i am getting PDF output Correctly in single page (1st page)
3) If my data definition returns lines more than 8 lines means, I am getting PDF output with Table structure values with item, in 1 st page and Constant sentence in 2nd page of PDF
4) If my data definition returns lines between 5 and 8 means, I am getting PDf output with table structure values with item and some of Constant sentence of my client in 1 st page and few of the constanst sentence in 2nd page.
Actually my need
Even if the data definitions exceeds more than 5 lines the constant sentence should be placed either in the first page or in the next page based on the no. of lines in the data definition.
How to resolve this... any approach most welcome. Wat changes i have to make.

Modified your code a little bit.Use this
    public int submitCPRequest(String shipmentId) {
    System.out.println("into submitCPRequest");
        OAPageContext pageContext;
        OAWebBean webBean;
    try {
OAApplicationModule am =pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    OADBTransaction tx = (OADBTransaction)am.getOADBTransaction();
    java.sql.Connection pConncection = tx.getJdbcConnection();
    ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(pConncection);
    String applnName = new String("XXAPL"); //Application that contains the concurrent program
    System.out.println("ApplName"+ applnName);
    String cpName = new String("XXAPLPOSMPRD"); //Concurrent program name
    System.out.println("Concc Name"+ cpName);
    String cpDesc = new String(" APL PO Shipping Material Pickup Request"); // concurrent Program description
    // Pass the Arguments using vector
    // Here i have added my parameter headerId to the vector and passed the
    //vector to the concurrent program
    Vector cpArgs = new Vector();
    cpArgs.addElement(shipmentId);
    System.out.println("Args"+ cpArgs);
    // Calling the Concurrent Program
    int requestId = cr.submitRequest(applnName, cpName,cpDesc, null, false, cpArgs);
    cr.addLayout("XXAPL", "XXAPLPOSMPRT", "ENG", "US" , "RTF");
    System.out.println("Req Id"+ requestId);
    tx.commit();
    return requestId;
        catch (RequestSubmissionException e) {
        System.out.println("Into Exception");
        OAException oe = new OAException(e.getMessage());
        oe.setApplicationModule(this);
        throw oe;
        catch(Exception exception)
        throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);
    }Thanks

Hi,
When we develop simple XML report also we used to get single data source either generated either from RDF or PL/SQL, in OAF XML data is coming from VO and XML Publisher API’s will process that data.
This approach works fine if you are having one VO, but if you are having two VOs then it is not possible (As per my understanding and comparing this scenario with simple XML publisher report).
I also faced same problem few months back, on my form I was having two VOs one for header and other for Lines and I have generate Report to show the data for both Headers and Lines. In my case I created a separate VO that was containing both Header and Line details and I was passing header Id to query that. I used query this VO only when someone clicks on “Print” button and it worked fine for me.

Defining page size in XML Publisher

Can we define page size using XML Publisher APIs.
We have a problem where a single RTF template will be used for different countries and depending upon the country, the report needs to be printed on Letter or A4 or anything.
I could find a parameter for Orientation but none for page size.
Is there something we can do for defining page size or we need to rely on the printer setup.
Regards,
Satrajit

to which column do u wnat to calculate goto that column
<?add-page-total:variable_name;Column_name?>
ex: <?add-page-total:inv;INVOICE_AMOUNT?>
finally goto footer write
<?show-page-total:inv;"999G990D00"?>
