Complex xml with multiple namespaces giving LPX-00601: Invalid token error

Hi
Apologies if this is a really simple question.
I have not worked with xml before and I'm drowning in different ways to do the extract.
I have a very complex xml, sample below, which I'm trying to do one siple extract to get myself going.
I have the data in a table in an xmltype column,
I am trying to extract containernumber first and get the error.
select xml_column, extract(xml_column,'/env:Envelope/env:Body/ns0:QueryCntrNumberResponse/ns0:QueryResContainerDetail/ns1:ContainerNumber/ns2:ContainerNumber')
from test_xml;
Not sure if I should use the namespaces and have tried without but results are always NULL
I would really appreciate any pointers around these ultiple namespaces.
Thanks
Nicki

Could I just ask you one more question.
I had already expanded the query to include the repeating sections using xmlsequence.
Has that been replaced too?

XPath expression with multiple namespaces?

Hello all.
I have been scouring the forums and Google and can't seem to find anything similar to my problem.
I have the following XML with three namespaces. Two are defined in the root element and the third is defined in the the IdSession element. To make things even more confusing, the second and third namespaces have the same prefix, 'f'.
This is the xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<NamespaceTestCall xmlns="http://my.default/namespace"
xmlns:f="http://my.second/namespace">
...<f:Level1>
......<f:IdSession xmlns:f="http://my.third/namespace">12345</f:IdSession>
......<Language>ENG</Language>
...</f:Nivel1>
</NamespaceTestCall>
My question is, how do I get at the IdSession element? Don't I need to create an XPath object and assign it more than one NamespaceContext?
This is what I am doing:
Document xmlDocument = loadXML(xmlSource);
XPath xpathEvaluator = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
xpathEvaluator.setNamespaceContext(new NamespaceContextProvider("a", "http://my.third/namespace"));
... xpathEvaluator.evaluate("//a:IdSession", ...);
This code works but it might not return the 'IdSession' I want, since by searching like this '//a:IdSession' it is looking in the whole document. If there were another 'IdSession' somewhere else in the document with the same URI, it would be returned. I want the 'IdSession' that lives inside of 'Level1'.
So what I would like to do is something like this:
... xpathEvaluator.evaluate("/*/Level1/a:IdSession", ...);
But this does NOT work because 'Level1' has its own namespace. So what it seems like I need to do is the following:
... xpathEvaluator.evaluate("/*/b:Level1/a:IdSession", ...);
Having already added the 'Level1' namespace to the XPath object, with the prefix 'b'. But unlike JDOM, there is no 'add' functionality, only 'set', meaning if you call set twice the second call overwrites the first.
Is there anyway to do this?
Many thanks!
Bob

Hello,
Sorry, that was my bad. I should have explained that NamespaceContextProvider is nothing more than my implementation of the NamespaceContext interface. The way I did it, I simply implemented getNamespaceURI() and getPrefix(). And the constructor accepted two parameters -- prefix and URI. So my problem was that when I assigned this NamespaceContext to my XPath object it would only have one prefix and one URI.
But I found an implementation here:
http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/50304
that instead of only having one prefix and URI uses a map. Thus its method setNamespace() adds the prefix and URi to the map, and getPrefix() and getPrefixes() retrieve them from the map.
Now when I want to use more than one namespace I simply call setNamespace() as many times as necessary, adding a prefix and URI pair each time, and when I am done I assign it to my XPath object.
And it works!
Thanks for the response!
Bob

Xsl transformation of xml with wrong namespace

I have xml with wrong namespace:
<PAMStartedNotification xmlns="some site">
<tUser>PLVUSER</tUser>
</PAMStartedNotification>I need to leave this namespace and transform it.
As a result of transformation now I get
<tUser></tUser>
...I.e. XPath is not calculated properly.
If I leave out that namespace then everything is ok.
But I want to leave that namespace as it is.
I use the following code to transform xml:
Templates stylesheet = transformerFactory.newTemplates(new StreamSource(new File(fileName)));
Transformer processor = stylesheet.newTransformer();
java.io.StringWriter resultWriter = new java.io.StringWriter();
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(resultWriter);
processor.transform(new StreamSource(new StringReader(xmlData)), streamResult);
transformedXML = resultWriter.getBuffer().toString();Any ideas how to do that(transform xml with wrong namespace)?

Sorry.
Here is XPath I use to select tUser:
/PAMStartedNotification/tUser
Right. To start out, that selects a PAMStartedNotification element which is in no namespace. But yours isn't. It's in the default namespace, which doesn't have a prefix. You could try this XPath expression:
/*[local-name() = 'PAMStartedNotification']/*[local-name() = 'tUser'](Untested, might have mis-typings and so on.)

XML Structured Index with multiple namespaces

Hi,
I'm having some trouble creating an xmlindex with structured component on a clob xmltype column without registered schema, whose data uses multiple namespaces.
The code I'm using atm:
CREATE TABLE "DECLARATIONS"
    "ID" NUMBER(19,0),
    "XML" "SYS"."XMLTYPE"
CREATE INDEX decl_header_ix ON "DECLARATIONS"(xml) INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLINDEX
PARAMETERS ('PATHS (INCLUDE (/emcs:emcsDeclaration/emcs:header//*)
                      NAMESPACE MAPPING (xmlns:emcs="http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl"))');
INSERT INTO "DECLARATIONS" VALUES (1,'
<?xml version = ''1.0'' encoding = ''UTF-8'' standalone = ''yes''?>
<emcs:emcsDeclaration xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl emcs_domain.xsd"
xmlns:common="http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/common"
xmlns:emcs="http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <emcs:header>
      <common:identifier>70</common:identifier>
      <common:declarationSequenceNumber>54566</common:declarationSequenceNumber>
      <common:dateCreated>2010-10-21-01:00</common:dateCreated>
      <common:status>01 Draft e-AAD in preparation</common:status>
   </emcs:header>
</emcs:emcsDeclaration>');A this moment it's not desirable for us to register the schemas used in oracle. According to the documentation I should be able to add a structured component to the index as follows:
BEGIN
      DBMS_XMLINDEX.registerParameter('MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER'
              , 'ADD_GROUP GROUP MY_XSI_GROUP
               XMLTABLE decl_header
               XMLNAMESPACES (''http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl'' AS emcs,
                       ''http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/common'' AS common),
                    COLUMNS
              status VARCHAR2(30) PATH ''/emcs:emcsDeclaration/emcs:header/common:status/text()''
   END;
ALTER INDEX DECL_HEADER_IX PARAMETERS('PARAM MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER');However this results in an ORA-00904: invalid identifier. After some experimenting it seems that oracle tries to parse the namespace URLs as identifiers (even tho http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14072_01/appdev.112/e10492/xdb_indexing.htm#BCGJAAGH & http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14072_01/appdev.112/e10492/xdb_xquery.htm#BABJCHCC specify the former), so I swapped them around:
BEGIN
      DBMS_XMLINDEX.dropParameter('MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER');
      DBMS_XMLINDEX.registerParameter('MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER'
          , 'ADD_GROUP GROUP MY_XSI_GROUP
          XMLTABLE decl_header
          XMLNAMESPACES (emcs ''http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/emcs/nl'',
          common ''http://www.myurl.eu/myapp/schema/common''),
          COLUMNS
          status varchar2(30) PATH ''/emcs:emcsDeclaration/emcs:header/common:status/text()''
   END;
ALTER INDEX DECL_HEADER_IX PARAMETERS('PARAM MY_XSI_GROUP_PARAMETER');Oracle seems to get a bit further with this, resulting in a ORA-19102: XQuery string literal expected. Here I pretty much hit a dead end. Removing the xmlnamespaces declaration altogether leads to a ORA-31013: Invalid XPATH expression. Going through the examples on http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?p=1805 works fine, but as soon as I try to add namespaces to it they stop working as well.
So my question is: how do I get xmlnamespaces (with non-default namespaces) to work in a structured xmlindex component?

I have some time tomorrow, so I can help you with this. My next presentation for UKOUG will be on XML indexes strategies anyway...

XML doc with multiple namespaces

Hi,
a little stupid question...
Is it possible to get a xml file that assigns two different namespaces and I don't want to use a prefix?
example:
xml doc uses namespace xmlns:a="someuri" and xmlns:b="otheruri"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root xmlns="someuri" xmlns:b="otheruri">
<test/>
<b:rest/>
</Root>
Some way to get prefix b out of it?
Thanx

okay, it was a stupid question...
solution:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root xmlns="someuri" xmlns:b="otheruri">
<test/>
<rest xmlns="otheruri"/>
</Root>

Using xpath.evaluate(): xpath exp with multiple namespaces

Hi,
I have to evaluate a xpath expression with parent node and child node having different namespaces. Like : env:parent/mig:child.
I have set the namespacecontext for the child node[i.e., for the prefix 'mig'.]
But am getting this error :
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Prefix must resolve to a namespace: env
How can I set the namespace context for both the parent and child nodes? Or is there are any other way of doing it?
I cant use //mig:child as the requirement needs the whole xpath expression [env:parent/mig:child] to be given as input for the xpath.evaluate() method.
Here's the code :
File file = new File("D:\\Backup\\XMLs\\test.xml");
Document xmlDocument = builder.parse(file);
XPath xpathEvaluator = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
xpathEvaluator.setNamespaceContext(new NamespaceContextProvider("env", "http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/account/1.0"));
NodeList nodeList =
(NodeList)xpathEvaluator.evaluate("/env:parent/mig:child", xmlDocument,
XPathConstants.NODESET);
xpathEvaluator.setNamespaceContext(new NamespaceContextProvider("mig", "http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/account/1.0"));
Thanks in advance.

XSD validation with multiple namespaces

Hi All,
I'm trying to validate some XML using an XSD that contains multiple namespace schema descriptions, as such, the main XSD file must import an XSD for each namespace.
The difficulty is that I cannot seem to find a way (in Oracle) to run a XSD validation using this (multi-XSD file) method.
Has anyone out there tackled a similar problem?
Cheers,
Ben

XML with multiple signature

Hi,
I use J2SE and I try to create a SIGNED XML file. I would know if is possible to generate a xml file with multiple digital signature(i.e. signs of two or more signers).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Content based routing and XML with multiple objects

I have some structure:
<contracts>
<contract>
     <department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
     <department>1</department>
   </contract>
<contract>
     <department>2</department>
   </contract>
</contracts>
I need to route contract to 2 system based on <department> value:
contracts/department = 1 --> System1
contracts/department = 2 --> System2
Will XI split my XML (based on Content Routing rules in ID) into 2 structures (with departmet=1 and department=2 accordingly) ?
Or I have to perform 1ToN mapping? I don't like it bacause it will be diffucult to monitor hundred of messages.

Alternatively if you donot like 1:n mapping and BPM.
Create two message mappings in the IR
1.Source :<contracts>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
<department>2</department>
</contract>
</contracts>
Target:
<contracts>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
Basically mapping generates a target structure which has only department 1.
2.Same like step1 but the mapping should generate the XML with department = 2.
Once requires steps are done in the ID , do the content based routing in the reciever determination and give the appropraite message mapping in the interface determination.
That should your problem and also you will like doing it as it does not involve any split level mapping..:)

Validate XML with multiple XML Sechme in the same namespace

In my program, i use multiple xml schemas to validate against my xml files.
However, i found the following code do not work because all schemas in the same namespace.
Does any one have some solutions to validate multiple XML Schemas in the same namespace?
Thanks~~
static final String[] schemas = { partyInformationSchema,
itemInformationSchema,
exceptionsSchema,
salesForecastSchema,
exceptionCriteriaSchema };
factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE, schemas);

I have used the Object arrsy too, but it didn't work.
static final Object[] schemas = { partyInformationSchema,
itemInformationSchema,
exceptionsSchema,
salesForecastSchema,
exceptionCriteriaSchema };

Response with multiple namespaces...

Hi there!
We have several webservices working as "document", they receive a XML document and send a XML document as response.
The problem is that the returned document has a namespace prefix for each XML tag. All of then with the same name space:
[n1:enviar_ofersecResponse xmlns:n1="a name space"]
[n2:IdentificacionMensaje xmlns:n2="a name space" v="respuesta_ofersecen01_20040921.1"/]
[n3:FechaHoraMensaje xmlns:n3="a name space" v="2004-09-21T12:07:30+02:00"/]
[n4:IdentificacionRemitente xmlns:n4="a name space" v="HC_G"/]
[n5:FuncionRemitente xmlns:n5="a name space" v="A08"/]
... and so on...
How avoid this different prefix with the same name space for each tag?. Our xml documents are big... about 5 M... so it's a waste of space and time process all those prefix and namespaces...
Thanks in advance!.

Hello,
We are experiencing this as well as we are upgrading from WLS 7.0 to 8.1. WLS 7.0 worked as expected. We made no changes to the webservices.xml between 7.0 and 8.1. This response element snippet is an example of 7.0 compared to 8.1:
***BEFORE - wls 7***
<ns1:memberFound>Y</ns1:memberFound>
***AFTER - wls 8.1***
<ns1:memberFound xmlns:ns1="http://www.definityhealth.com/webservice/member/memberlookup">Y</ns1:memberFound>
I'm pursuing this with support and will report back findings here.
thanks,
chad.

</lineItemElement>')
Then i ran:
SELECT
extractValue(data,'/lineItemElement/rcss:catalogeID','xmlns=http://rcss.bell.ca/schema/lineitemmessages, xmlns:rcss=http://rcss.bell.ca/schema/PartnerBatch')
from xml where id=1
There is nothing returned.
Please advise how could I get the node value when there is namespace?
I know how to extract values if there is one namespace but i'm not able to extract values if there are two namespaces.
Any help is appreciable!!
Thanks in Advance.

I fixed that problem too. What I thought was a singleton was actually a repeating element. I needed to be able to "multiply" the repeating node for the main node, but I couldn't find a concise way of doing this in SQL. So instead I did it in with two loops.
FOR rec IN (
SELECT
     extractvalue(value(e), 'surchargeEntry/company',p_namespace) company
     ,extractvalue(value(e), 'surchargeEntry/surchargeType',p_namespace) surcharge_type
     ,extractvalue(value(e), 'surchargeEntry/shortDescription',p_namespace) short_description
     ,extractvalue(value(e), 'surchargeEntry/longDescription',p_namespace) long_description
     ,e.column_value surcharge_entry_xml
     FROM TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(p_xml, 'surchargeInquiryResponse' ||
     '/surchargeAttributes/surchargeEntry'
                                                                                ,p_namespace))) e
) LOOP
FOR rec_country IN (
SELECT
     extractvalue(value(c), 'country/originationCountry',p_namespace) origination_country
     ,extractvalue(value(c), 'country/destinationCountry',p_namespace) destination_country
     FROM TABLE(xmlsequence(extract(rec.surcharge_entry_xml, 'surchargeEntry/country',p_namespace))) c
LOOP
nafta_fee_obj.append_surcharge_entry_data(
          v_arr
          ,r_surcharge_entry(
          rec.company
          ,rec.surcharge_type
          ,rec.short_description
          ,rec.long_description
          ,rec_country.origination_country
          ,rec_country.destination_country
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
I populate a collection, which is easy to pass around between routines. I can easily convert the collection to a ref cursor, and index-by array, comma-delimited string, etc.
Apparently, the namespace is required in SQL, but not in staright PL/SQL.
I've also noticed that the docs say xmltype() has all these member functions, but when I try to use some of them, I get an error that it's undefined. Like getNumVal(). There are some functions I can use in SQL, or PL/SQL, but not vice-versa.

XML with multiple signatures

Hello,
I am trying to find examples showing how I could implement multiple signatures from multiple signers within a single XML file. I read textual confirmation that this can be done, but I hanen't found an example of implementation so far.
I would like to follow a "business-document-approval-along-hierarchy"-like process and produce an XML similar to the following:<NewIdea>
<ApprovalCTO id="CTO">
    <ApprovalProjMngr id="ProjMngr">
      <ProgrammersIdea id="Programmer">...</ProgrammersIdea>
      <Signature id="Programmer">...</Signature>
    </ApprovalProjMngr>
    <Signature id="ProjMngr">...</Signature>
</ApprovalCTO>
<Signature id="CTO">...</Signature>
</NewIdea>1. Is it possible in general to include multiple signatures in a single XML file?
2. If yes, is the above a correct and suggested approach? Should I use enveloped or enveloping signature instead? Or is this irrelevant?
3. If no, can this be done using multiple XML files with references of one into the other?
4. Do you have any pointers to examples and sample code?
5. I am using Apache XML Security. I guess since it conforms to the W3C XML-DigSig specification it could work for this case, right?
Sorry for the many questions. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

1 -- yes.
2 -- There are no 100% correct and suggested approach. You can skin the cat anyway you want to.
3 -- N/A
4 -- Sample code to do what? You've already provided an XML file. If you want Parser codes go to w3schools.com. or Google them.
5 -- no idea. Beyond my scope of little knowledges. :-)

Generate Query in PLSQL to return Well Formed XML with Multiple records

Hi there
This is very urgent. I am trying to create a PLSQL query that should retrieve all records from oracle database table "tbl_Emp" in a well formed xml format. The format is given below
*<Employees xmlns="http://App.Schemas.Employees" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">*
*<Employee>*
*<First_Name></First_Name>*
*<Last_Name></Last_Name>*
*</Employee>*
*<Employee>*
*<First_Name></First_Name>*
*<Last_Name></Last_Name>*
*</Employee>*
*</Employees>*
To retrieve data in above format, I have been trying to create a query for long time as below
SELECT XMLElement("Employees",
XMLAttributes('http://App.Schemas.Employees' AS "xmlns",
*'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' AS "xmlns:xsi"),*
XMLElement("Employee", XMLForest(First_Name, Last_Name)))
AS "RESULT"
FROM tbl_Emp;
But it does not give me the required output. It creates <Employees> tag with each individual record which I don't need. I need <Employees> tag to be the root tag and <Employee> tag to repeat and wrap each individual record. Please help me in this as this is very urgent. Thanks.

Hi,
Please remember that nothing is "urgent" here, and repeating that it is will likely produce the opposite effect.
If you need a quick answer, provide all necessary details in the first place :
- db version
- test case with sample data and DDL
That being said, this one's easy, you have to aggregate using XMLAgg :
SELECT XMLElement("Employees"
       , XMLAttributes(
           'http://App.Schemas.Employees' AS "xmlns"
         , 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' AS "xmlns:xsi"
       , XMLAgg(
           XMLElement("Employee"
           , XMLForest(
               e.first_name as "First_Name"
             , e.last_name as "Last_Name"
       ) AS "RESULT"
FROM hr.employees e
;
