XML validator in Jdeveloper/ADF

Hi,
I have xml in String variable and want to validate again xsd. Any input on how we can do this in Jdeveloper/ADF
Thanks in advance.

This bug has been fixed for the Production Release. There is no manual fix I can give you for the Preview Release. When you say this is a compile-time error, do you mean that this is preventing you from compiling your project in some way? The error should just appear in the editor when you have the Ant buildfile open, and you should be able to safely ignore it.

XML Schema validation in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0 - is it namespace-aware?

Hi everybody
Look at the following simple xml schema:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://www.example.org"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="num" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="amount" type="xsd:integer"/>
<xsd:element name="invoice">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element ref="num"/>
<xsd:element ref="amount"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="invoices">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element ref="xsd:invoice" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
When I open it in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0 and choose "Validate XML", validation executes without errors.
In spite of bad namespace declaration in <xsd:element ref="xsd:invoice" ...
For example, in XML Spy validation of this schema ends with error: "'xsd:invoice' must refer to an existing element".
If there any option on JDeveloper to turn on namespace-aware validation to prevent the above situation?

hi
Indeed, the "Validate XML" menu option only shows "Validate XML: 0 errors, 0 warnings.".
But, if you look at the "Design" tab for your schema, the "invoices" element node contains an "xsd:invoice" sequence shown in red. If you change "xsd:invoice" to "invoice" this becomes white and the node can be expanded.
One other thing, registering an XML Schema in JDeveloper like the one you posted, isn't possible without an "oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDException" (without further details).

Validations in Jdeveloper with ADF

Hello I would like to know where I can find examples with code of validations done for ADF in Jdeveloper or some tutorial.
Thank you very much

Well thats pretty difficult to answer since it is so extensive.
You can validate data in the database, in your business services, in the bindings in the UI (on the server side) or client side validation. You can validate when you enter data, save data, query data...and you can do it before or after those actions!!!! So you can see, its pretty extensive.
The developer guide tells you about this.

JDeveloper, ADF, lack of support and bleak future

Hi,
I'm a seasoned Java and .NET developer, used to many environments and frameworks. A happy user of Oracle databases.
For a very Oracle oriented client I started with a team of developer a project using JDeveloper (no choice). After 4 months of using JDeveloper, ADF to build web sites, here are some thoughts I would like to share. This remarks only focus on that products, because I have a lot of respect for the Oracle databases and had a lot of success with them.
I am starting to get depressed about the very few blogs (most from Oracle) talking about JDeveloper and ADF, the lack of books, and the Oracle forums.
Moreover, most of the time you never get an answer to your problems, sometimes untested not working 'solutions', and a very very few times a working solution. Help is sparse, the community is missing.
If Oracle wants to promote its framework, it has to boost the number of tutorials, examples and support.
Googling about ADF is most of the time a non sense since you always land on the same 3 blogs and the Oracle forums.
Proof of non use by the community ?
If you try on www.indeed.com to find statistics about JDeveloper or ADF jobs you get another frightening proof.
Sometimes you find a piece of code or a tutorial that may help, but you realize it works only on some specific release of JDeveloper.
What makes me angry is when you ask why your code works on the x.x.x.x version but not the newest version, and the only answer you get is stay with x.x.x.x version (I won't bother to fix your 10 lines or code or even give you a direction to do it (maybe coz I don't understand myself were the breaking changes are)).
JDeveloper is damn too slow ? You should have a dual-core and at least 2 Go of memory, you poor thing ! Is Java for rich people ?
Debuging is a nightmare. Compared to Eclipse or others it is not practical at all.
I'm happy when I can create a few pages drag and dropping controls. Business components are also a good thing. It speeds up my development. But since development is not just UI and generating business components, I lose a lot of time every time I want to write code, every time I do something "exotic" it becomes a pain in the ass.
My problem here is that the architecture and JDeveloper constraint the developer a lot. I don't even talk about the fact that everything is only Oracle database oriented (openess ?). Even changing your page layout is a pain. Positioning controls is non trivial. As a whole, I would say that this whole thing imposes you to adapt to it, it doesn't adapt to you and your way of working.
Most results I saw look like the Oracle websites.
I could go on about the various bugs and problems that plague JDeveloper. Like the refactoring (when usable) that leave old and annoying stuff in your model XML, like the bugs in the diagrams, like problems related to auto-binding on the page and manually changing controls ID, various synchronization problems between pages and backing beans, adding upload is a mess, OrdDomain types are buggy, regions doesn't work well in the designer, and so on...
My point is that I feel the whole thing is not mature. And Oracle seems to fix some issues with the release of JHeadStart. Sometimes you fix things by integrating JHeadStart stuff. JHeadStart is probably a great thing and a time saver if you don't do too much "exotic" screens and code, but does it means that JDeveloper+ADF and classic development becomes a second class citizen ?
This is sad, since the ADF framework and JDeveloper look good and are worth of a more widespread usage. But marketing and support are way way far behind other commercial and open-source solutions. When I see what is planned for JDeveloper 11 and I compare it to others (Java or not). When I look at the developers needs and expectations, I feel we are losing the race.
Maybe Oracle would like to hand over some of the framework to the community, but my feeling is that the community is already commited on other exciting and less constraining frameworks and tool, and this community may well work in a way that doesn't fit Oracle vision. Future will tell.
Cheers.

Hi,
thanks for the detailed comment. I appreciate the time you spent writing this up as this helps to improve the product. Below is a first - quick and brief response to some of your statements.
... for documentation and tutorials
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html
Especially the ADF Developer Guide for 4 GL developers earns a lot of praise among J2EE developers.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/toc.htm
... for books
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/jsf.html

Of course samples need to be created to some point in time with a specific version. We have SRDemo as our main - maintained - reference demo I suggest you download this sample from OTN using help--> check for updates. Note that SRDemo contains code solutions for most developer cases and also is available in 10.1.3.1

But since development is not just UI and generating business components, I lose a lot of time every time I want to write code, every time I do something "exotic" it becomes a pain in the ***.
What is exotic, and what are the questions you didn't get an answer for ? I see that this is your first posting on OTN, so I am wondering under which account you posted the other questions that did not get an answer.
Googling about ADF is most of the time a non sense since you always land on the same 3 blogs and the Oracle forums. Proof of non use by the community ?
Isn't OTN a community ? I don't think that we need another discussion forum and looking at OTN it appears very active.
I don't even talk about the fact that everything is only Oracle database oriented (openess ?).
Not true. Please prove your claim.
Even changing your page layout is a pain. Positioning controls is non trivial. As a whole, I would say that this whole thing imposes you to adapt to it, it doesn't adapt to you and your way of working. Most results I saw look like the Oracle websites.
Now you are barking up the wrong tree, blaming ADF for what is JavaServer Faces layouting. You don't have to use JSF but can go for JSP /Struts and/or Swing development. What is the view layer technology of your choice that allows you to do better layouting ?
I could go on about the various bugs and problems that plague JDeveloper
Yes, please post them all
... regions doesn't work well in the designer, and so on...
Of course, because regions are not officially supported. JDeveloper 11 - I know you don't want to hear future - will have full templating (going far beyound of what facelets do) and region support
My point is that I feel the whole thing is not mature. And Oracle seems to fix some issues with the release of JHeadStart.
JHeadstart is a consulting offering and not meant to fix the product.
... but does it means that JDeveloper+ADF and classic development becomes a second class citizen ?
No comment for this statement as it is based on a wrong observation
This is sad, since the ADF framework and JDeveloper look good and are worth of a more widespread usage. But marketing and support are way way far behind other commercial and open-source solutions. When I see what is planned for JDeveloper 11 and I compare it to others (Java or not).
Note that only a fraction of new features in JDeveloper 11 leaked out so far or have been mentioned in the recent statement of direction. JDeveloper has many more features that we don't yet promote because the software isn't available.
Please note that we give ADF to the community. Its just we are not giving it to the open soutce community but the J2EE community (JSR-227)

Issue in running a 9i version Page XML in 10g JDeveloper

Hi
In our 11i to R12 upgrade project we are trying to run our custom 9i version Page XMLs in 10g JDeveloper. We imported the JPR itself in 10g Jdeveloper and it did conversion while loading. But when we tried to run the pages we are getting
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OASlideMenuUtil.prepareNavAndFavList(Unknown Source) error.
We found out that it is because of the missing "Navigation and Favorites options" that comes along with R12 version pages. We confirmed it by creating a new page in 10g Jdev and copy pasted all the regions from the old page to the new page. It is working fine. Now the doubt i have is,
Wont 10g Jdev take care of this during the conversion of the Page XMLs and Java files? Or am i missing any big part here.
Tried searching with keywords, tags but dint help. Kindly refer if you have any links or thoughts.
Thanks,
Praveen.

This can be caused by the 'Function Name' attribute on the page layout region being NULL but with the XML tag still in the page XML i.e.:
<oa:pageLayout id="PageLayoutRN" amDefName="xxjlp.oracle.apps.fnd.por.econtent.server.EContentAM" windowTitle="Portal Guidance Documents" title="Portal Guidance Documents" controllerClass="xxjlp.oracle.apps.fnd.por.econtent.webui.GuidanceDocSumCO" function="">
Check the page you are forwarding to either has a valid value for 'Function Name' or ensure that this tag is removed from the page XML by clicking the 'Set to default' button on the component pallet toolbar.
This is normally caused when a value was added by the developer then removed by highlighting the value and hitting delete. This action keeps the tag in the XML file. You should use the 'Set to default' button which will remove the tag completely.

XML validation errors in embedded OC4J jazn.xml

hi
If I open the jazn.xml of the embedded OC4J in JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0 and select "Validate XML" from the context-menu on that file, I get these messages in the "XML Validation Errors - Log" :
D:\oracle\jdevstudio10133\jdev\system\oracle.j2ee.10.1.3.41.57\embedded-oc4j\config\jazn.xml
    Error(10,28): <Line 10, Column 28>: XML-24535: (Error) Attribute 'schema-major-version' not expected.
    Error(10,28): <Line 10, Column 28>: XML-24535: (Error) Attribute 'schema-minor-version' not expected.
    Error(10,28): <Line 10, Column 28>: XML-24536: (Error) Missing Attribute 'filepath'
    Error(10,28): <Line 10, Column 28>: XML-24536: (Error) Missing Attribute 'OC4J_INSTANCE_ID'Strange, because I'm not aware of any changes I've made to this file.
Could someone (from Oracle) please confirm that this is "intended", so I can exclude it as possible cause for the "security configuration issue" that I'm having.
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Thanks for your reply Frank.
If "the content seems to be correct" then the XML schema jazn-10_0.xsd might not be what it should be.
For the attributes "filepath" and "OC4J_INSTANCE_ID" it says they are "required", just like the validation by JDeveloper says, but they are not in the documentation.
For the attributes "schema-major-version" and "schema-minor-version" the documentation says:
"This attribute is not defined directly in the XSD for jazn.xml. It is according to the attributeGroup specification in the top-level OC4J XSD."
Although there is no exact reference in that documentation, and also not in jazn-10_0.xsd, that XSD could be oc4j-10_0.xsd because it defines this:
    <xsd:attributeGroup name="oc4j-schemaVersionAttributeType">
        <xsd:annotation>
            <xsd:documentation>This type defines two different attributes which are intended to be used in the
                root element of a schema document to define version 10.0 of the schema document.
            </xsd:documentation>
        </xsd:annotation>
        <xsd:attribute name="schema-major-version" type="xsd:integer" fixed="10"/>
        <xsd:attribute name="schema-minor-version" type="xsd:integer" default="0"/>
    </xsd:attributeGroup>I'm not sure if it is the validation by JDeveloper that went wrong here, or the XML schema jazn-10_0.xsd that is incomplete about these "schema version" attributes.
Anyway, it seems OK to exclude it as possible cause for the "security configuration issue" that I'm having.

Jan

Oracle JDeveloper ADF Problem

hi to all,
I encountered a problem while designing a web page using JDeveloper (ADF)...
Firstly i would follow these steps
1. Create DB Connection
2. Create entity tables
3. Create view objects
4. Create face-config.xml
5. Create relevant JSPX pages using ADF core drag and drop function from DataControlPalette
All the steps work out just fine... However, if i try to repeat steps 2, 3, 5 again to add new functions, the JSPX pages created will not display a inputtext box field when being rendered on Internet Explorer (JSPX pages are created using ADF drag and drop function from DataControlPalette)
Its seems that if i take away the bindings from the inputtext box, the inputtext box would be displayed, however it would not pass the values to next page nor add values into DB...
Is there anyway i can keep the bindings approach and remove the error in inputtext??

Hi Frank,
I followed the same steps as in the tutorial of SRDemo to develop the application
It always works on the first use case of the application. However, only if i try to add another new use case(entities, view object and jspx pages) will the inputtext not be rendered on IE...
It seems that if i use a view object created through their sql (Select from DB...), i can obtain information and display it in a adf form where the inputtext box is displayed... However using the view object created programically, the inputtext box does not come out in adf form...

Configure JDeveloper ADF Project based on user properties

I have my own project code tree and would like to create a JDeveloper Project based on that. Is there a way to instruct JDeveloper to read the source file locations from a properties file.
For example, look into \trunk\jsp_src for all the jsf files ; look into \trunk\config\webWEB-INF for config files like faces-config.xml ...etc.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Shay,
I know we can do it this way.
What I would like to find out is if there is a way to tell JDeveloper to read all the configuration information from a user-defined properties file.
That way I can use my code tree checked out into any directory structure from source controls like CVS or Subversion as the code-base for my JDeveloper ADF project.
Thanks
Ramesh

XML validation in sender file adapter

Hi
I am using FCC on the sender file adapter ....i need to make sure that one of the fields should always be integer else the sender adapter should give error
Can i use xml validation with FCC on the sender file adapter?

Hi Hema,
As per understanding you need to check one or few fields value is integer or not.
You can achieve in 2 ways :
Case1:Using inbuilt xml validation options.
For 7.11 and below
1)In ESR/Message type/Export the xsd to local machine.
2)Insert the xsd file in the below loc
/usr/sap/<sid>/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/validation/schema/
<guid>/<namespace1>/<service_interface_name>/<namespace2>
<sid>: System ID of the server instance.
<guid>: The GUID of the SWCV.
<namespace1> : The namespace within which the service interface is defined.
<service_interface_name> : The name of the service interface.
<namespace2>
: The namespace of the Message Type used by the service interface. In many
instances, namespace1 and namespace2 are the same.
Italic path folders need to create by you.
For 7.3 and above
Michal's PI tips: XML validation - changes in 7.3
Case 2 :Handling using simple UDF.
Input-->UDF-->Output
try {
   Integer.parseInt(input);
   return input ;
catch(NumberFormatException e) {
throw new StreamTransformationException( "Input field value for xyz field "+input+"is not in integer format.Plz correct it");

XML validation error while parsing MXI Manifest

Hi,
I have created an hybrid extension for Photoshop. I want to upload my extension on Adobe Exchange. during the upload process I get an error,
"XML validation error while parsing MXI Manifest: Declarations can only occur in the doctype declaration. Line: 19 Position: 791 Last 80 unconsumed characters".
The error description specifies that description in MXI file is not valid. Below are the contents of my MXI file.
<macromedia-extension

Can anyone please point out why am I getting the error?
Thanks

Hi CarlSun,
Thanks for the reply. I have made the changes suggested by you.
I have few queries:
1. Can we use attribute "source" in the description tag?
     I have created a local html page and specified it in source attribute. but the Extension Manager CS6 did not render the local html page and displayed      the following:
     No description avaliable. Click the following link for more details.
     "http://www.abcd.html". Is it possible to display a local html page in Extension Manager CS6?
2. Can I display an image (png) in CDATA under description tag? If yes, then can you please guide me how can I do so?
3. As suggested in tech notes MXI file must include UTF-8 encoding as header (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>). The MXI I am using does      not have this header. Do I need to include the header?
Thanks

'WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE-trigger' in JDeveloper/ADF/JHeadstart

Hello,
I'm new to JDeveloper/ADF with JHeadstart.
I want to execute a PL/SQL-procedure when the application starts. I've added the method to execute the PL/SQL-procedure to the Application module class.
How can we execute this method?
Thanks in advance.
Richard Teunissen

Richard,
When using security, it is easier to add a servlet filter to your application that only calls the PL/SQL procedure when user just logged in , which is start of new session.
Without security, it is easier to do it each time you enter a new page.
You can drag and drop the app module method on your page, then create an invokeAction in the executables section of your page definition that executes the method binding, and set the refreshCondition of the invokeAction to #{!adfFacesContext.postback}.
See ADF Developers guide, sections 8.4, 17.3 and 10.5.5 for more info:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/toc.htm
Now, if you are new to ADF this might sounds a bit cryptic, I strongly recommend you take some class on ADF, for example the ADF/JHeadstart workshop:
http://blogs.oracle.com/jheadstart/workshop
JHeadstart is a great help when moving from Forms to ADF, but you still need to learn how ADF works, to be able to fully leverage the power of JHeadstart. It is like generating Forms using Designer, thevbetter you know Forms, the more advanced functionality you can generate using Designer. The JHeadstart generator is very flexbile, using custom templates you can generate almost anything you want, but it requires knowledge of ADF Faces, JSF, ADF bindings and ADF Business Components to create those templates.

XML Validation in PI 7.1 - Restart and skip validation possible, but how?

Hello all,
I read about schema validation in PI 7.1 and did a few tests on my own, but could not restart and skip validation for invalid payloaded messages. The documents say it is possible.
Anyone know how? Thanks.
BTW, I really think putting the schemas in server file system will cause a lot of authorization trouble in enterprises. No one gives access to the server filesystem and I don't think they will also like to open the required subdirectories for share. Asking the basis team to create the folder structures and maintaining schemas would be another pain. Don't you also think that SAP could find a better approach, like automatically uploading the schemas to the filesystem, or validating them from repository directly if possible?
Kind regards,
Gökhan

Hi Gökhan,
I am facing the same issue.
I set up outbound xml validation in receiver agreement and tested it with valid and invalid messages.
The validation works fine.
But in case of validation error I tried to restart with skipping the validation. But this wasn't possible.
I am always facing the same valdiation error.
I already tried all different tools I know (sxi_monitor, message monitoring in rwb and in nwa)
I am working on PI 7.11 SP6
Did you find a solution for skipping the validation for a single message out of the monitoring?
I know that there is the possibility of deactivate the validation in receiver agreement but thid doesn't meet the requirement of skip the validation only for a single message.
Maybe anyone else faced and solved this issue already.
Thanks in advance
Jochen

XML Validation - How to raise an alert

Hi PI Experts,
I enabled XML validation at "Validtion by Adapetr Engine". Its working fine. But how to integrate XML validation error with Alert Monitoring. Please advise.
Here below the error from Audit log:

Hi Ravi,
Are you getting other adapter engine alerts? Or only you are not getting xml validation ones? Also take a look at this:

XML Validation: ignore non-XML-Header in XML-file(payload): any solutions?

Dear Experts,
after I finally managed to configure the XML Validation, we're facing the next problem:
The payload of the XML files looks like that:
Abcdef#ABCDEF
AbcDef#123
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Document xmlns.....
as you can see, there's a header which is necessary. The XML Validation works fine if the header is removed manually for testing. If the header is not removed, the validation is not possible ("Content is not allowed in prolog.")
Is it possible to realise the validation WITH that header? Can I tell SAP PI to ignore the header? Or make any changes to the XSD file?
Thanks alot!

> After leaving SAP PI, those 2 lines have to be in that exact place (before the XML part) for further processing. Just deleting it wouldn't be enought. Does the complex design you mentioned complay with this requirement?
You can put it into the message instead of deleting. And rebuild the "header" in the second step. So you can fullfill the requirement. As mentioned before: The design is complex, this will lead later on to problems. Any change will be difficult, as another developer had to read a long documentation.
An alternative would be to do all with one interface mapping (without validation):
1. ABAP / Java mapping deleting the "header" (put it to memory)
2. Messges Mapping 1:1 each field (will fail in case of wrong format and act as validator)
3. ABAP / Java mapping restoring the header
4. Alert will be raised in case of an error (to get the result of the validation)

> I also thought about splitting the message, deleting those 2 rows in one of the messages, sending this one message to PI again, validate it and if it is correct, send the second message (without mapping) to the final destination. No idea if that is possible at all..
As well possible. You would need a virtual receiver for the first message, which is sending back a response. For example a servlett, a proxy or a RFC module. In that design you put some logic to the sender, what is actually not bad. But if you do so, why you dont validate there as well (for example with Java)? It would make your design much easier..
