XML Training Ideas

Anybody know of or able to recommend any good XML courses?
Thanks

Not aware of particular training (might check Oracle University), but if you're looking for a one-stop-shop book that will teach you what you need to know to use Oracle and XML together, my Building Oracle XML Applications is sure to please. About 800 pages of solid examples to learn from, as well as a great, simple introduction to XML and XSLT technologies, too.
I saw that it's finally available from Amazon, Fatbrain, and others online today, as well as from the publisher.

XML parsing ideas

Hi,
I am beginning work on a new application in a week or so, and part of it includes parsing data from an XML file. I have been looking at the options for XML integration with Java and wondered if anyone could give me some recommendations?
Apache have http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/index.html - their xerces java XML parser. Sun have http://java.sun.com/xml/xml_jaxp.html - JAXP. I reckon the JAXP implementation would be preferable, but does anyone have any recommendations? I am using the Sun JDK 1.3, the XML parsing will be server-side, speed is an issue as is complexity. I am afraid I have been given no indication of the size or shape of the XML files.
Thanks in advance,
Ciaran.

Since you don't have much idea of the problem space, I'd recommend experimenting with them yourself. Advice has a short shelf-life, these things are changing rapidly.

New XML Training Announced

Just as a heads up for Oracle users on the east coast:
A new XML Publisher Training course has been announced for New York City, NY. Previously the only course being offered in the Northeast was in Boston, MA.

They are actually great.

Hi,
$Extend is a file system directory that contains several indefinite optional extension, such as $quota, $objid, $reparse, $usnjrnl, etc.
You can see it and perform on it througn 3rd party software or PE system.

Using Sun Web Server 6.1 from the IDE

Using JSE 8 with Sun Web Server 6.1 set as the target container, I have a SUNWS61deployment.xml file created.
That didn't exist in JSE 7. Is it WS 6.1 SP4 or SP5 -related ?
I also have ws61-sun-web.xml with a simple <sun-web-app/> tag (empty deployment descriptor).
What should this file contain? Is it a replacement for sun-web.xml?
Do I still need sun-web.xml? Its DTD declaration sounds like Sun
App Server 7 (http://www.sun.com/software/sunone/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_3-1.dtd)
So you have plans to make "Sun Resources" (pools, JNDI resources, ...) created in the IDE be registerable directly in the Web Server just like it's possible with the sun app server?
How safe is it to use JSE 8 with an older Web Server Service Pack (say 6.1SP1)?

SUNWS61deployment.xml is created bythe IDE to be used internally and not to be used by the developer. This file wouldn't be sent to webserver after deployment.
The ws61-sun-web.xml is sun-web.xml only and yes it is same as it is in Appserver7 as the webcontainer for both Webserver6.1 and Appserver7 are same. After deployment to webserver, ws61-sun-web.xml is renamed to Webserver as sun-web.xml by the IDE. When opened the developer can edit in the XML editor.
The reason for having it as ws61-sun-web.xml in IDE is to avoid the clash between sun-web.xml of Appserver8.1 which is J2EE1.4 based whereas Webserver6.1 Web container is J2EE1.3 based.
It should be okay to use any service pack of Webserver6.1 with JSE8
Hope this helps

How to edit the existing data in the XML file from java programming.

Hi all
i am able to create XML file with the sample data as below from java programming.
i need sample code on how to edit the existing data in the XML file?
for example
<?xml version="1.0"?>
   <mydata>
           <data1>
                     <key1>467</key1>
                    <name1>Paul</name1>
                    <id1>123</id1>
          </data1>
          <data2>
                     <key2>467</key2>

Link in xml form article text to open another portal page?

Like in all websites our intranet have pages with articles (xml forms) where it's logical for the text to include links to other articles in other areas of the portal.
Since all iviews (km navigation in this case) are displayed as iframes, links within the text only lead to the target page being displayed within the iview/iframe. I need the complete portal page to change to also show where in the page hierachy/navigation structure the user has landed.
I am aware of the related links iview, but this doesn't do the trick. I want the article text itself to include the links.
A logical solution would be to find the page's navigation URL and use this as a text link, but then I would need to add a target=_top to change the whole page around. This is not possible within a xml form. (<a href="/irj/portal?NavigationTarget= navurl://cf1c773631c70d216fe3434ca4dc3a0e" target="_top")
Ideas?
Henning

Thanks for answer. Points awarded.
BUT: Still, a link to http://server/irj/portal/link added in the html editor window of an xml form only give the options of opening the link in new browser, or in the active window. The first option results in a massive amount of opened browsers, the second results in the target page being opened in the iframe (not nice!)
Of course I could edit the xml directly adding a target=_top, but every new editing of this file would overwrite these changes.
The best way would be to add a new option in the html editor allowing an option of "fill entire window" when adding a text link that adds target=_top in the xml.
Ideas?

Schema Validation on attributes of an element in XML againt XSD schema

Hi,
I had generated artifact java classes from XSD schema file.Now i am validatiing one sample XML document by using these classes in JAXB.The XML document is validated successfully.but only elements are validated ,but not attributes of that elements.for example ,i am giving wrong element which is not defined inside the schema file,it throws validation error as expected ,whereas validation against wrong attributes of elements in XML it is not working anyway,it does not throw any validation errors,but it should throw validation errors.kindly help me to solve this issue.
Here The sample validation code snippets :
import javax.xml.bind.ValidationEvent;
import javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventHandler;
import javax.xml.bind.ValidationEventLocator;
public class MyEventHandler implements ValidationEventHandler{
     public boolean handleEvent(ValidationEvent ve) {
          if (ve.getSeverity()==ValidationEvent.FATAL_ERROR ||
                    ve .getSeverity()==ValidationEvent.ERROR){
               ValidationEventLocator locator = ve.getLocator();
               //Print message from valdation event
               System.out.println("Invalid booking document: "
                         + locator.getURL());
               System.out.println("Error: " + ve.getMessage());
               //Output line and column number
               System.out.println("Error at column " +
                         locator.getColumnNumber() +
                         ", line "
                         + locator.getLineNumber());
          return true;
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
unmarshaller.setEventHandler(new MyEventHandler());

Here is my analagous 'strange' behavior. I am jaxb processing and then marshalling generated classes to XML ( following the simple Sun 'PurchaseOrder' example )
1. This works:
<xsd:schema....>
<xsd:complextType name = "myName">
<xsd:attribute name='name1'>
</xsd:complextType>
</xsd:schema>
2. This doesn't:
<xsd:schema....>
<xsd:complextType name = "myName">
<xsd:attribute name='name1'/>
<xsd:attribute name='name2'/>
</xsd:complextType>
</xsd:schema>
That is, using more than one attribute line within this simple complex type causes nothing to be marshalled to XML.
Ideas?

LOAD FILE with xml

HI
I want to load an xml file into a RDBMS table, using sunopsis xml driver.
I try to use an other xml file than the initial that is defined in the driver url.
I cannot run this instruction in a XML treatment before the interface :
LOAD FILE "C:/AXYUS/SURSAUD/entree/sosmed1.xml" WITH DTD "C:/AXYUS/SURSAUD/entree/sosmed.dtd" REPLACE READONLY AUTO_UNLOCK
the file doesn't change at alll and I always load the initial file ( sosmed.xml )
any idea ?

Make sure that you issue your LOAD FILE command
- on the SAME Transaction (0, 1, 2, etc...) than the one used in the LKM,
- with the SAME logical schema as the source table logical schema
- and with the SAME Context (if you use the execution context - leave it unset).
This should do the trick, and the connection created in the procedure will be reused in the interface, provided that you chain both in a package.

Posing a question to those well versed in building Flash training applications

I would like to start an off-line communication chat with those of you who are well versed in Adobe Flash or Adobe Flex.
I've worked with Cold Fusion but I am not up to date on all the technologies available. This seems like the perfect forum for this question.
I simply want to build an application (web or desktop is unknown) in which a person can learn a foreign language, in this case English.
I need some technical advice as to whether Flash, Flex, or a combination of technologies (Cold Fusion for server side functionality) is the best choice for this application. I do not understand the technical aspects of Flash or Flex in building applications so I need the advice of you experts.
As with most foreign language textbooks, audio, or foreign language video training, the material is not interesting, not pertinent to daily life, and is great for late night insomnia. I've never seen any type of foreign language training that is interesting, fun, or uses current events as part of the curriculum.
I would like to illustrate my idea with an example. I want to use an existing English beginners textbook (for kids), scan the images in the textbook, store the content (rules of grammar) in a database and store example sentences in a database.
I would like to record basic audio sentences from the textbook (Do you know tomorrow's weather), incorporate some animation (baseball player hitting a home run), incorporate some basic video (purchasing an item at the grocery store), add a quiz, test question or puzzles, etc..
In addition, since this is a classroom setting and the kids are split into groups, I would like to store a seating chart with the kids names and pictures in a database. After the first segment is finished (e.g. purchasing a toy at the store) the kids next perform an activty. I want to use a combination of audio, video, and animation to explain the activity, give instructions, split the class into groups,and perform the activity.
As I mentioned before, I would like to start an off-line discusion for those of you who are willing to share some of you knowledge and experience with Flash and maybe Flex. Since you are extremely busy, maybe you might be able to point me in the right direction.
Hopefully, some of you can provide some sound technical advice.
Thanks in advance

thank you for your reply
the best answer is email or chat. I use Skype and google talk.
the reason is simple. I can probably guess that we are at least 10 time zones from each other. I am currently in Tokyo Japan; just moved last year because of my Japanese wife.
Meeting face to face is virtually impossible and the time zones make a telephone call impratical.
My English training idea stems from the fact that kids in Japan study English for 6 years. This is mandatory. After 6 years of studying any subject matter, you certainly should know it fairly well. In Japan, the education system stresses grammar, not conversation. The kids can read and write English fairly well, but can't speak much English.
This seems extremely strange; judging by the high level of science and mathematics taught in school. The system of English education is extremely broken in Japan. Everybody laughs when I tell them learning to read and write a foreign language is more important that speaking the foreign language. Well, that's how it is in Japan. I am making it my personal quest to break this broken system and give them something that is sorely needed in Japan.
Anyway, that is too much information about what I am trying to do.
If you can point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful. I also forgot to ask how Adobe Captivate might fit into all this. I notice Adobe carries a suite of e-learning products. My idea is to be interactive and fun, not so much a slide presentation look and feel.

Create SiteCollection and assign Property to be used in onet.xml

Hi,
I need to create a SiteCollection and I want o assign during a creation a propertybag value or something similar that can be used from SiteFeatures that fire during processing of the onet.XML.
any idea?
Sven

Hi,
You can achieve this using SharePoint Feature Stapling feature. You can create your custom property using Feature stapling feature and attached the feature to the site template.
Whenever you create a site collection, there will be custom property will be available. You can set this property value using any one of the following options.
PowerShell
CSOM
JavaScript
Server-side code.
Or use the CodePlex solution to set the property bag value. The following is the link for codeplex solution
SharePoint Property Bag Settings 2013
The following two links will be helpful for your similar solution
SharePoint Feature Stapling: Create the Feature
SharePoint Feature Stapling: Staple the Feature

But if i navigate in netbeans IDE and i navigate into tomcat there i went and i saw the

Slideshow from xml - loads in wrong order

Hi,
I modified an existing slideshow script so that it would like
to a page when you clicked the image. However, the images do not
always load up in the correct order, but the links and descriptions
do, so if you click an image it takes you to the wrong page.
It changes when you refresh the browser and acts differently
in ie to firefox - in ie it is usualy incorrect the first time,
then goes ok once u refresh. The link to view is:
http://www.fluidstudioswms.com/gftc/
and the actionscript is:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myShowXML.load("cfpromoexport.xml?cachebuster="

true);
The XML can be viewed at
http://www.fluidstudioswms.com/gftc/cfpromoexport.xml
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry about code - new to the forum, I will remember for
future use.
Thanks for identifying the problem area. I have been trying
to fix the issue by sorting the array but my actionscript is not
great and I have not had any success :(
