XML via java api

Hello,
I am newbie ... facing what seems like a daunting task.
We have a set of api's - the output of the methods that I am interested in comes in the form of either Vector or Hashtable.
I want to write a thin layer on top of the existing api's to convert the output (Vector) into an xml format - this xml output will be consumed by a jsp;
How do I get started - I found a lot of material on the web - none of which helped. Most of the examples are talking about getting the output from a "file" - in this case its not a file.
Any help will be appreciated ...
Thanks

vector of what? Let's say a vector of MyObject. You need to turn each MyObject into xml... if it's just a few classes, you might just write a MyObject.toXML() method; any embedded class would need toXML() also. We have a helper class with methods that add begin/end element tags, etc.
If you want to use JAXB, you'll need an XSD that matches MyObject, and then have to use the JAXB framework to be able to do a "marshall" method call to create XML from the object tree.

Hello,
Can anybody tell me where i can find the latest JAVAAPI reference guide? I found the one for MDM 5.5 SP 1 but that also refers to the last parameter of the CatalogCache.Init as int and not string.
I looked up in service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP Netweaver -> Release 4 -> Installation and there only following 3 files are there for MDM 5.5 SP2

Need to transfer files using sftp via java api's.

Hi,
I got a requirement to transfer files using sftp via java api's.
Kindly specify any 3rd party Java Libraray to do this.
The requirements are
-It must support extensive encryption algorithms.
-It must allow generating public/private keys and authenticating with server by sending the keys first(before the actual file transmission).
Thanks.

Don't resurrect old threads, please. Start your own thread.
Better yet: google for "Java SFTP", look at what you find and come back when you have a specific question.
And: when you ask a specific question, then clarify if you're talking about the [SSH file transfer protocol|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol] or about FTPS, which is sometimes (wrongly) called SFTP.

Fetching Images Via JAVA API

Hi,
I am trying to fetch images via Java Api.
Please look at the code below:
A2iValueArray imgs1 = null;
for(int y=0; y<rs1.GetRecordCount(); y++){
     imgs1 = rs1.GetValueAt(y,"Product_Image").GetValueArray();
It is throwing me a Class cast exception.
I also tried
imgs1 = (A2iValueArray) rs1.GetValueAt(y,"Product_Image").GetValueArray();
but to no avail...
I am using MDM Sp04..
Please guide me...

This Code Worked for me:
          try {
          A2iResultSet rs1 = catalogData.GetResultSet(search, rsd, null, true, 0);
           A2iValueArray imgs1 = new A2iValueArray();
               for(int y=0; y<rs1.GetRecordCount(); y++){
                    if(!rs1.GetValueAt(y, "Images").IsNull()){
                    imgs1 = rs1.GetValueAt(y,"Images").GetValueArray();
                    int id = imgs1.GetValueAt(0).GetIntValue();
                    //int id = rs1.GetValueAt(0, "Product_Color").GetIntValue();
                    String imagePath = catalogCache.GetImagePath("Products", id);//"Thumbnail" ,
                    //wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning("Your image is at: " + CACHE_DIRECTORY + "\" + imagePath);
                    System.out.println("imagePath="+imagePath);
                    break;
               catalogData.Logout();
          } catch (StringException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
Posting your program may help troubleshoot.

Access to Attribute Type via Java API

Hi,
I'm writing an aplication in Java to access out OLAP schema and display certain DIMENSION/LEVEL and ATTRIBUTE values. This is working out really well but I'm hitting one issue at the moment which has me stumped.
When I display a Dimension value in a table I want to default the attribute we display to a sensible display value. In AWM there is a field "Attribute Type" which offers drop down selections for "User", .... "Member Short Description", "Member Long Description"...
See the General Tab under Attributes for a particular Attribute. Looking at the Help text for the "Member Long Description" I see the following.
"Long descriptive names typically used by Oracle Business Intelligence tools for displaying dimension members in selection lists, crosstabs, and graphs." Looks perfect for what I want. My Dataware house architect already has an Attribute for each hirearchy
marked with this property so in theory I should be able to look for the Attribute in the Dimension with this property and bingo I have my default display Atttribute!
The problem is I seem to be able to find api's to access every aspect of the MdmAttribute object except this particular property.
Here is a snippet from the OLAP api sample code augmented with some println's of my own:
if (mdmAttr.getName().equals(name)) {
     System.out.println("Attribute : " + mdmAttr.getID());
     System.out.println(" name : " + mdmAttr.getName());
     System.out.println(" desc : " + mdmAttr.getDescription());
     System.out.println(" s desc: " + mdmAttr.getShortDescription());
     System.out.println(" type : " + mdmAttr.getType());
     System.out.println(" type id: " + mdmAttr.getType().getID());
return mdmAttr;
None of the avaiable APIs of MdmAttribute seem to fit the bill.
The question is ... is there an API somewhere I can call on the MdmAttribute object or an associated object that will give me back the "Attribute Type" as listed in this dropdown. Note that getType returns DataType!String which denotes the fundemental type of the Attribute (int, String etc) rather than this abstract Attribute Type property we need. Not listed here is the getDataType() api which also returns DataType!String and seems to be equivalent to the getType api.
Regards
Fergal

One small clarification if its not already obvious. We are using the OLAP Java api's directly ... not via BI Beans.

Problems adding WFS layer via Java API

Hi
I am trying to add a WFS layer to my map via the java api. There is little documentation on this and I am struggling a bit, I wonder if anyone has done the same? The call I am developing looks like:
mapViewer.addWFSTheme("devprop",

"building",
"ID",
attributeList,
renderStyleAttributes,
featIds
but the mapviewer log states:

If the getcapabilities result is:

</WFS_Capabilities>
then it's empty and there are no features to be served up.
Test the WFS service in mapbuilder first.

Resource Object Approval via Java API

Is there a way to do approval of Resource Object via Java code/API?

You have to use updateTask API
HashMap search = new HashMap();
search.put("Process Instance.Task Information.Assigned To User Key", "81");
tcResultSet pend = requestOperationsIntf.getApprovalTasksAssigned(search);
// The above ResultSet stores all the request information pending for approval. Right now there is just one row
pend.goToRow(0);
long taskInsKey = pend.getLongValue("Process Instance.Task Details.Key");
// Extract the taskInstance key form the above resultSet to pass to the next API
Map mhProcessMap = new HashMap();
mhProcessMap.put("Process Instance.Task Details.Data", "Approve");
// Where 'Approve', 'Reject' etc will be your approval task responses
proOperIntf.updateTask(taskInsKey, mhProcessMap);

Extracting image variants for web index from MDM via Java API

Hi There, we are currently using an open source search engine to crawl the MDM database and build indexes for our webstores nightly. In this process, we have an image extraction method using the MDM java API's. Can someone please tell me how to call an image variant into this process rather than the 'original image' stored in MDM? I've created a variant that will optimise for web conditions and we need to call this one into the webstore, not the originals that are sometimes huuuuge...

Hi Adam,
From MDM Documentation (can be found here [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/49/0505fba870404ce10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]):
Retrieving Image Variants
To retrieve binary data for image variants carry out these steps:
       1.      Retrieve all image variants using the RetrieveImageVariantsCommand class.
       2.      Retrieve the Image BLOB whose variants you want to get, (see Retrieving BLOB Records above).
       3.      Retrieve the BLOB for the specific image variant using the RetrieveBlobCommand.
Hope this information helps,
Idan

Oracle XML Publisher Java API's showing arabic characters as question marks

Hi All,
I have created a custom xml publisher report. All the setups in xdo.cfg and the fonts have been installed. When i run the report as concurrent program using the XDODTEXE as the executable this report executes fine displaying the arabic characters in the PDF output.
I have integrated this xml report to a OAF page where am getting the output of the arabic characters as ???????
Following is the java code i have used to generate the blob for the xml publisher report.
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"Inside process Template",4);
AppsContext appsContext = ((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getRootApplicationModule().getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext();
String applicationShortName = dataDefApplication;
String dataSourceCode = dataDefCode;
OutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
DataTemplate dataTemplate = new DataTemplate(transaction.getAppsContext(), dataDefApplication, dataDefCode);
//Get Parameters
ArrayList parameters = dataTemplate.getParameters();
//set Parameter Values as ArrayList of oracle.apps.xdo.dataengine.Parameter
Iterator it = parameters.iterator();
while (it.hasNext())
Parameter p = (Parameter) it.next();
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"Processing Parameters "+p.getName(),4);
if (p.getName().equals("P_AUCTION_HEADER_ID"))
if(AuctionHeaderId != null)
p.setValue(AuctionHeaderId);
else
p.setValue(null);
dataTemplate.setOutput(os);
dataTemplate.processData();
System.out.println(os.toString());
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("SQLException occurred.");
} catch (XDOException e) {
System.out.println("XDOException occurred.");
} catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception (other) occurred.");
byte[] xmlb = os.toString().getBytes();
BlobDomain blob = new BlobDomain(xmlb);
return blob;
Kindly let me if i had missed something.
Thanks
Anoop

On a related note, I am seeing a couple of different types of 'incorrect' characters based on different NLS_LANG settings.
If it is set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8, I get characters like this:
Ø±Ù‚Ù… Ø§Ù„Ù…ÙˆØ¸Ù�
If it is set to ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.AR8MSWIN1256, I get characters like this:
ÑÞã ÇáãæÙÝ
Do any of you know what these characters are?
Thanks for any insight.

Saxon: recovery policy via Java API? (avoid "Ambiguous rule match" error)

When I switch the XMLTransformer from the Java built in Xalan to Saxon (9), I get many
Ambiguous rule match for /
Matches both "document-node()" on line 22 of file:/D:/Tmp/test/layouts/lay_Client_T_SM_Notes_2C.xsl
and "document-node()" on line 6 of file:/D:/Tmp/test/subReports/S_RiskValues_S.xslerrors. I read that you can "relax" these checks with the TransformerFactory attributes
//http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/using-xsl/embedding/jaxp-transformation.html
tf.setAttribute("http://saxon.sf.net/feature/recoveryPolicy", 1); //dynamic XSLT errors => warning
tf.setAttribute("http://saxon.sf.net/feature/recoveryPolicyName", "recoverWithWarnings");but this doesn't work. (I check to have the saxon parse via tf.getClass().getName())

If anyone is interested I have now found a resolution for issue.
The client certificate authentication needed to be at transport level and not message level.
Following discussions with Oracle, my understanding is that OWSM manager can be used to only apply policy data at message level.
Using OWSM was not the method to fulfil this sort of requirement. Instead I needed to configure a 2 way SSL handshake.

Changing cm_created programmatically via Java API

Hi!
Our problem is simple: we need to change the cm_created system km property via the rf api's.
We have already set the property as not read-only and maintainable - but still the api throws a WcmException containing the following error message: "Read-only property: created".
My gut feeling is that even though We have altered the property under property metadata, the repository framework still denies any changes due to the fact that it is a system property. (And yes, We have rebooted the server!).
Any info and/or ideas regarding the problem above?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Jitesh,
getRepositoryConnection() is my method which does the connection.
Now, there are methods as :
getFields
public FieldId[] getFields()Get array of field IDs for all populated records.
Returns:
array of field IDs. Empty array is returned if any field was populated
getFieldValue
public MdmValue getFieldValue(FieldId fieldId)
                       throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentExceptionGet value of the specified field.
Parameters:
fieldId - field ID
Returns:
field value
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if field with specified ID does not exist or was not populated
I want to use all these methods.
So, I need to declare these methods in the Controller Class and these methods will call themselves so, that I can achieve the real purpose of creating records, getting values from the field and getting field Ids etc.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Retrieve original record via Java API

Hi Community,
I have a checked out record and need to compare some fields with the original one at runtime. I have both of the ids and thought I could simply pass the original id to the RetrieveRecordsByIdCommand to get the original version. But if I do so, I allways get the record with the modified values of the checked out version. Do I have to pass a special paramter to get the original record or maybe an other command?
Many thanks,
Tobi

Thanks for your reply.
The RetrieveOriginalsByCheckoutRecordCommand only gives me the orignal record id (which i already have) but i need the record with all fields.
