XMLDocument and blank XML tag parse issue

var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
                xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = false;
                xmlDoc.parseXML("<Test> </Test>");
                var decoder:SimpleXMLDecoder = new SimpleXMLDecoder(true);
                var processObj:Object = decoder.decodeXML(xmlDoc);
               trace( processObj.Test );
Result is comming as 0 instead of a blank space between the tags(<Test> </Test>).

Hi,
Here are two possible solutions :
xmlelement("EXCEPTIONS",
xmlforest(
    xmlforest(
      v1.exception_code as "EXCEPTION_CODE"
    , v1.exception_long_desc as "EXCEPTION_LONG_DESC"
    ) as "EXCEPTION"
)or,
xmlelement("EXCEPTIONS",
case when v1.exception_code is not null
         or v1.exception_long_desc is not null
    then xmlelement("EXCEPTION",
           xmlforest(
             v1.exception_code as "EXCEPTION_CODE"
           , v1.exception_long_desc as "EXCEPTION_LONG_DESC"
end
)

XML Document parsing issue

Hello I am doing some SOAP XML stuff and I am having an issue that hopefully I can get some help with.
Is XML like this valid to do in a SOAP message?
<prompt>1 &_lt_; 0? <prompt>It's suppose to represent "1 < 0?"
* the forum formatter seems to eat up my encoded text and transofrms it into acutal "<" so I am placing underscores "_" everywhere to keep the text. so above is actually without underscores
From what I've read I think it is. I have text like this transported as part of the overall SOAP message to my client from the server.
In my code I do:
// Create an instance of the DocumentBuilderFactory
DocumentBuilderFactory documentFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
// Get the DocumentBuilder from the factory
DocumentBuilder builder = documentFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inputStream);
...inputStream is an InputStream (specifically ByteArrayInputStream) containing the XML.
The issue I am having is that wherever I have an '&' (such as "&_lt_;" or "&_gt_;" or "&" etc...) the parsing seems to get cut off and the rest of the string doesn't seem to get parsed. So the above string "1 &_lt_; 0?" ends up being "1 ".
Also is there an easy way to get back or rebuild the XML into a string from a Document object? I would really like to do that right after I do the parse method and see if the XML data that the Document object has is the same as what's in the inputStream (which is "1 &_lt_; 0?").
Any input you can provide is much appreciated. Thanks,
Latem

How can i find and replace xml tags?

Hi, i am using xml in my workflow and want to be able to remove certain tags if they contain particular text.
here is an example of my xml structure…
<entry>
    <name>DEFAULT</name>
    <tel>DEFAULT</tel>
    <address>DEFAULT</address>
</entry>
I am using this initial structure to set the paragraph styles to be followed when the xml data is imported.
This leaves DEFAULT in place wherever an entry doesn't have any content for that field.
I want to be able to import my XML then run a script that removes any tags that include DEFAULT, - I need the entire xml tag to be removed not just the text, if i do a normal find and replace it will only remove the text not the tags which is causing problems with styling. I also want to remove the end of para/return (^p) that i've placed at the end of the line. So it would be the same as opening up story editor and removing the content + tags + hard return in there, but i want to automate the process…
So i think this is what i need to search for in each case
"<name>DEFAULT</name>^p"
and i want to replace it with nothing ""
Can this be done through scripting (ideally javascript)?
I have a little knowledge of javascript but am not sure how to search and target that kind of string in indesign...
using indesign cs5
many thanks

Hi,
Script should do it in two steps:
1. find all occurences of i.e. ">DEFAULT<"
2. remove whole paragraph which is a found_text's container.
For example this way -JS - (a textFrame filled with your text should be selected) :
var mStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = ">DEFAULT<";
var myF = mStory.findText();
var count = myF.length;
while (count--)
     myF[count].paragraphs[0].remove();

Formating and calculating xml tag value

I have an xml file that holds xml tag such as <weight>.55 kg</weight>
I want to have two outputs:
Output 1) Output to print: 0.55
Output 2) Output to print 0.8 of the xml tag value (0.55 * 0.8) : 0.44
I was able to get the Output 1) by using <?format-number:weight;'9G990D00'?>
However, I can not get the Output2) as expected.
If I put <?format-number:(weight)*0.8;'9G990D00'?>,
I get the error message "Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Cannot convert .55 kg to number."
Appreciate any help on how to solution for Output2)

If that is the case then try using
<?format-number:( substring-before(WEIGHT,'kg')*0.8);'9G990D00'?>

Search for, edit, and delete XML tag (Adobe InDesign Server CS5)

Hi all,
I'm working with Indesign Server CS5 and JavaScript, though having some trouble coming up with a solution to a problem...
I need to build a JS script (called through SOAP) that will enable me to search an InDesign file for a given XML tag.
Upon finding the XML tag, if the 'action' variable is set to delete, it should delete the tag and its contents.
If the action is set to edit, it should change the contents of the tag to some user-specified content.
The primary caveat is that the XML tag is variable, as is the XML structure of the InDesign file.
Here's what I have in mind, in pseudocode:
function findXMLTag(tag, action) {
     app.searchForTag(tag);
     if (tagIsFound) {
          if (action == "delete") {
               tag.delete;
          } else if (action == "edit") {
               tag.contents = "Updated content";
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben Kay

'searchForTag' can be implemented as a recursive function.
Recursion is defined like this: I thought, "I'll just search this forum for 'recursion'." The first post I found was one of my own, suggesting that the poster should search the forum for 'recursion'.
Here is an example: find the XML Element [<email>]
And another: Remove xml element using JS[CS3] (read carefully, as the OP got stuck on how to successfully remove an element and continue)
And one, using XML Rules -- which I'm totally unfamiliar with, but may work for you: Changing Values in XML tags

I too received this error as I tried to run my first Windows 8.1 deployment. Per another post I commented out this line
<IEWelcomeMsg>false</IEWelcomeMsg>
from the IE section of the unattend.xml. I was then able to run my deployment. I do not see this line in your posting though.
I referenced this link even though it was for Windows 7.

RFC to XML-RFC Parsing issue in RFC Adapter as Sender

Hi all,
I tried to use RFC adapter as a sender. The scenario I am trying to achieve is R3 -> RFC Adapter Sender --> BPM --> RFC Adapter Receiver --> SAP Auto-ID system.
The reason to use two RFC adapter and BPM is to log the request message if the RFC call fails. Everything works as expected, except the RFC Adapter Sender.
The RFC I am calling has an input table. The input data I use works fine if I call it via SE37 or remotely from another SAP system. However, if I call it via RFC adapter, when XI parses the data into RFC-XML format, the input data is all messed up.
DATA: BEGIN OF ID_STR,
        ID_VERSION(8)       TYPE C,
        ID(96)              TYPE C,
        ELEMENT_NAME(50)    TYPE C,
        ELEMENT_VALUE(128) TYPE C,
      END OF ID_STR.
DATA: it_id LIKE TABLE OF ID_STR,
      ls_id LIKE ID_STR.
ls_id-ID_VERSION = 'EPC_1.30'.
ls_id-ID = '30340242206DC3C00000000A'.
ls_id-element_name = 'BATCH_ID'.
ls_id-element_value = 'BATCH001'.
APPEND ls_id TO it_id.

You can see the data in the table is all wrong, it should be:

<ID>30340242206DC3C00000000A</ID>
<ELEMENT_NAME>BATCH_ID</ELEMENT_NAME>
<ELEMENT_VALUE>BATCH001</ELEMENT_VALUE>
</item>
</IT_ID>
The calling system is a 4.6C non-unicode system, and the destination system is a unicode system (this does not matter since the first part of the integration is between R3 and XI). There is no config found on R3 side to specify non-unicode because it is a rather old system. In XI RFC Adapter config, I checked non-unicode checkbox (I also tested it with this unchecked, but still the same issue).
Have any of you seen this problem and how you resolve it?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Hart

Hi Hart
long time no seen - hope you remember me
>The reason to use two RFC adapter and BPM is to log the request message if the RFC call fails
there is an easy way (guess max 3-4 hours) to solve all of your issues
and get rid of a BPM
use IDOC - XI - ABAP Proxy
then you will have IDOC and ABAP Proxy that always log the message on both ends (and you can restart ABAP proxies easily in AII - and every AII supports ABAP proxies) + you get rid of a BPM as it's not necessary as far as I understand (as it's asyn communication right?)
maybe you can go this way and IDOCs always work...
good luck,

Select count(*) and blank element tags

Is there a way other than column aliases to produce and return an element tag for the following xsql query.
<xsql:query
connection="{@cxn}"
xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
select count(*) from emp
</xsql:query>
Some databases such as SQL Server via a JDBC driver will return a blank column name, thus you'll have an invalid XML document, however SQL Server allows one to use column aliases, such as select count(*) as "count" from emp.
However some databases such as Progress via a JDBC-ODBC bridge and ODBC driver does NOT allow column aliases. Thus I'll always get the following response:
<ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: String index out of range: </ERROR>
Question. Can I substitute an element tag when I encounter a blank column name using an action handler? Any ideas? Sample code?
Steve.

Please have the data structure as below:
<datastructure>
<GROUP name="G_1" source="Q_TEMP">
<element value="DEPTNO" name="DEPTNO" />
<element value="DNAME" name="DNAME" />
<element value="LOC" name="LOC" />
<GROUP name="G_2" source="Q_TEMP1">
<element value="ENAME" name="ENAME" />
<element value="SAL" name="SAL" />
*</GROUP>*
*<element value="G_2.ENAME" name="TOTL_DETAILS" dataType="number" function="COUNT()" />*
*<element value="G_2.SAL" name="TOTL_SAL" function="SUM()"/>*
*</GROUP>*
</datastructure>
Aggregate functions to be placed at the level you require it. Here you need at G_1, so place it there.

Change XML Tags Parse Date

I need to change tags or elements in XML that is exported from Access to to put data into a calendar.
This:
<Courses>
<Date>3/04/2009</Date>
<Title>Ocean Star Museum FENG 1001</Title>
<Description>Galveston Offshore Rig Museum</Description>
</Courses>
To this:
<events>
    <event>
        <month>3</month>
        <day>4</day>
        <year>2009</year>
        <text>Ocean Star Museum FENG 1001</text>
        <popuplink/>
        <style/>
        <tooltip/>
        <script/>
    </event>
I know I need to use XSLT, but can I parse the date? SHould I put Day Month and Year separate in the database? Can it be parsed?

I still dont know how to get the query to output what I want. Should I create all the columns necessary for the calendar?
I need these XML elements:
Month
Day
Year
Text
Popuplink
Style
Tooltip
Script
Filter
These are the items in the sample xml that goes with the calendar. Should I make a table in Access that has these columns? I currently have the database working, but with a different configuration. I assume I may need to add a few columns such as "Popuplink" and others. How can I get the Month Day and Year field in a Query if I don't have a column for these. It seems the query relates to a column in the database.
I'm currently trying to use the DatePart function in the Query Builder. I'm new to backend stuff.

Hi,
Here are two possible solutions :
xmlelement("EXCEPTIONS",
xmlforest(
    xmlforest(
      v1.exception_code as "EXCEPTION_CODE"
    , v1.exception_long_desc as "EXCEPTION_LONG_DESC"
    ) as "EXCEPTION"
)or,
xmlelement("EXCEPTIONS",
case when v1.exception_code is not null
         or v1.exception_long_desc is not null
    then xmlelement("EXCEPTION",
           xmlforest(
             v1.exception_code as "EXCEPTION_CODE"
           , v1.exception_long_desc as "EXCEPTION_LONG_DESC"
end
)

Blank xml tags; whats the deal?

Okay here is my question. I have an XSD and two pieces of
xml that look like this:
snippet1:
<myTag myattr="someVal"></myTag>
snippet2:
<myTag myattr="someVal"/>
Technically speaking both mean the same thing. I validated
both XML's using XMLSPY and they pass through. But one of
our clent uses the old style, that is snippet1. When he
get's snippet2, he encounters an error.
Does any one know about this kind of issues? As in what
part of the xml spec speaks about this? and what is this
called in terms of parser terminology?
Thanks in advance.

Section 3.1: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-starttags
And if your client gets an error when processing an empty element, they need to throw out their parser and get one that complies with the XML recommendation.

Q: How to access and modify xml tags using Java

I have an xml based document that i need to access and change. For example, the code
<section id="section1">
<div>
<xforms:group id="id1">
<xforms:label id="label1">
<l style="font-size:16pt"> something </l>
</xforms:label>
</xforms:group>
</div>
</section>
Working with Java I need to access all the tags, select some of them that are relevant to the current device and remade the document. I thought I would read the file character by character identifying the different labels and building a tree, storing in the tree nodes the relevant information as some kind of attributes (for example, in the case of the <xforms:group id="id1"> I would name the node "xforms:group" and create an "id" attribute with value "id1"). I'm not sure if that is the most efficient way of accessing the problem (computational power might be an issue), and would appreciate some help on the subject.
Thanks,

this may help you..
this is a little util i made to help me read/write files.
using this, you are only one step away from your solutions, you only need to figure out the regex you need to run on the text of the file to make it become what you need it to become.
though if you use non-standard encoding, you might not want to use this code..

Search and Replace XML TAG using JAVA

Hi All,
I have an XML file, say RESULT.XML Which has about 30000 Lines (yes Thirty Thousand ). For some reason i need to replace an existing tag with a different tag(not the value inside the tag, But the tag itself) . I am facing a challenge. I will explain it as below.
I have a csv file which has 2 values as given below
<VALUE A> , <VALUE B>
where <VALUE A> is an existing node in the RESULT.XML and <VALUE B> is the node that should replace <VALUE A> in the RESULT.XML
i have 500 such entries in the file.
Now i need to write a program to read the csv file, Search <VALUE A> in the RESULT.XML and Replace it with <VALUE B> of the csv file.
please let me know how do i start with this.
I really want to fix this issue.
Existing Node = <Product ID="role (contact) 3" UserTypeID="Product Number">_
To be changed to = <Product ID= role (contact)3" UserTypeID="Product Number">_
please reply if you need any further information
Thanks in Advance

Sounds like a job for XSLT or Perl not Java though it can be done in Java. In Java I would initially try
1) Read the csv file using one of the many free CSV parsers and build a Map<String,String>.
2) Create a Rewriter using the map keys as targets and use the map values as replacements.
3) Read the XML file line by line and process each line with the Rewriter.
4) Save each line to an output file.
For a one-off task this would probably serve but it could prove very slow if you need to run this on a daily basis.

Alexander,
There is a WSDL tutorial in User Manual of Altova XML Spy Help. Just go through that which gives you an idea of how to generate the WSDL file.
Also go through this weblogs which may give some information:

b and /b xml tags displayed in pdf

hi Experts,
I am using 10.1.3.3.2
I am displaying the fillter view along with the report on the dashboard. When I generate the pdf (printer friendly -> PDF) for that, the dates between filter condition is showing the <b>and</b> tags around 'and' instead of displaying 'and' in bold.
I.e it is displayed as- Maturity Date is between *01/07/2010* <b>and</b>*31/07/2010*
while it should be-
Maturity Date is between *01/07/2010 and 31/07/2010*
In the html view it is correct. The problem is in pdf.
Has anyone got a solution for removing the <b>and</b> tags?

The problem is pdf format will display HTML tags. If you want to get rid of the tags, rewrite your "between" filter like this:
Maturity Date >= 01/07/2010
And
Maturity Date <= 31/07/2010
The "And" here will not display with the HTML tags when you save the report to pdf.
