Xpath retrieve parent attribute

Given this XML structure.
<root>
<C cmd="a">
<T>text 1</T>
</C>
<C cmd="b">
<T>text 2</T>
</C>
<C cmd="c">
<T>text 3</T>
</root>
How would I write an xpath statement to return the <C> cmd attribute for a single found <T> element?
For example if text 2 is found then return "b"... if text 1 is found then return "a".. you get the idea.. I need the parent attribute of a found child element.
TIA
Solved!

Hello FunkyMonk,
This website talks about how to select the parent of an element in an XML expression:

Does that answer your question?

Found the bug. there is a / missing before the @ in the xpath expression. 9R2 does not seem to care about this.
Correct path=

Persistance of the Parent attribute

Hi - I have a 8 applications (appxxx.ear)in OC4J (9.0.3) and uses the parent attribute between them.
However - redeployment of .ear file with Enterprise Manager removes the parent attribute and changes the sequence of applications in server.xml
How do I keep this attribute without re-applying it everytime after redeployment.

See what happens when ya don't read the spec's backing the API's ya use? I haven't read that spec in over 2 years, and apparently it didn't jump out at me at that time as importand and/or major. Guess it all depends on what you're looking for when you read something.
Thanks for the quick help; I'm off to implement my own personal version...erm...vision of versioning...um...anyway, back to it.
Thanks again!

Ok, Thanks for you help,
But my question is : For a specific objectClass, by example, I would like to have all attributes for the objectClass called "inetOrgPerson"
something like that :
ldapsearch -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w pwd -h host ...objectClass="inetOrgPerson"

How to retrieve Parent product category based on Product name selection.

Is it possible to retrieve Parent Product category based on the Product name of the Product.
Our Product catalog is set up as follows
Product:
Product name Product category
TA30 TA30
TA300 TA30
Product categories
Category Name Parent Category
TA30 Lawn Mower.
I would like to retrieve the Parent category "lawn Mower" when I select the product TA30 from the product list on the custom object 9. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
SKJ

Hi Akila,
I am assuming you query runs on a cube that loads data from the source system. In that case cube will contain only valid cobminations of Product Family & Product Line.
In order to make sure that if a cetain Product Family is chosen you want to see only the relevant Product Line as available in the cube do the following:
Go to Query Designer Filter
Pick Product Family > Properties> Advanced. Under the Tab Filter Value Selection during Query Execution choose 'Only Values in InfoProvider'
Do the same setting for Product Line as well.
Hope this helps.

Amrita

JAZN-LDAP : retrieve inetOrgPerson attributes from principal object

Hello.
I 've extended callerInfo demo (in OC4J distrib :j2ee/home/jazn/demo) :
1. use of JAZN-LDAP
2. now the servlet prints the "HttpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal()" object attributes (class implementation : oracle.security.jazn.oc4j.JAZNUserAdaptor) : the servlet prints LDAP attributes like user DN, subscriber name, groups member, ....
Is it possible to retrieve other attributes of the LDAP object user (like description, businessCategory) by the java.security.Principal interface ?
Thanks.

Try this
public String getCompanyByUserDN(String userDN) throws Exception
String result = null;
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://<<LDAP HOST>>:<<LDAP PORT>>");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, <<User DN>>);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, <<User Password>>);
DirContext dirCtx = new InitialDirContext(env);
DirContext userCtx = (DirContext)dirCtx.lookup(userDN);
Attributes attrs = userCtx.getAttributes("", new String[] {"o"});
result = (String)attrs.get("o").get();
return result;
}

In a child opportunity, How to retrieve parent opportunity ID

Hello,
I know that in account object, there is a way to retrieve parent account id.
Now, I would like to know if it is possible to retrieve the Parent Opportunity ID, while being in the chilf opportunity.
I tried many syntax which all brings me a syntax error :
JoinFieldValue('<Opportunity>',[<OpportunityId>],'<ParentoptyIntegrationId>')
JoinFieldValue('<Opportunity>',[<OpportunityId>],'<ParentOpportunityId>')
JoinFieldValue('<Opportunity>',[<OpportunityId>],'<ParentoptyExternalSystemId>')
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Julien

Hi Julien,
We cannot get the Row Id of the parent opportunity in the child object. However if you can convey what the requirement is, there could be another way of fulfilling the requirement.

Retrieve xml attribute value of nth xml node using xpath query

I have an xml with following stucture...
<xml>
<header>
<DocumentReference OrderId="order001">
<DocumentReference OrderId="order002">
<DocumentReference OrderId="order003">
I have to loop through this xml and retrieve the orderId values inside Biztalk orchestration.
In the expression shape, I get the count of 'DocumentReference' nodes using an xpath query and then
Added a loopshape to make sure it loops thru all nodes
Loop condition:   n<=nodeCount     (where n is an integer variable, n=0 to begin with, incremented by 1 thru each loop, nodeCount is # of DocumentReference nodes)
I try retrieve to the orderId in the following expression shape using the below xpath query
xpathQuery = System.String.Format("//*[local-name()='OrderReference'][{0}]/@orderID)",n);
sOrderId = xpath(MsgSingleInvoice,xpathQuery);
And I get the following exception:
Inner exception: '//*[local-name()='OrderReference'][1]/@orderID)' has an invalid token.
Exception type: XPathException
Appreciate any help!   thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. I got rid of it.
And I see a different error:
Inner exception: Specified cast is not valid. Exception type: InvalidCastException
Source: Microsoft.XLANGs.Engine
Target Site: System.Object XPathLoad(Microsoft.XLANGs.Core.Part, System.String, System.Type)
Since variable 'n' is of integer type, I suspected it and changed it to n.ToString() and tested again and still see the same error.

Hi Aneesh,

You are using AddResponse in your XPath there is no element named like that.

ISSUE Retrieve ViewRowImpl attributes using ExpressionLanguage

Hello,
In my page JSPX I use a popupFetchListener to store my ROW in pageFlowScope, when I try to retrieve one of attributes I encountered this error :
<font color="red">
PropertyNotFoundException The class fr.annuaire.model.views.annuaire.EdpViewRowImpl does not have the property NbUti.
</font>
the error comes from the line disabled="#{pageFlowScope.currentEdpRow.NbUti > 0}"
The attribute exists in the ViewRowImpl, see code below
How can i access to attributes via ExpressionLanguage ?
IN JSPX :
<af:table value="#{bindings.EdpViewSearch.collectionModel}" var="row"
     id="tabEdp"
     rowSelection="none"
     contentDelivery="immediate"
     clientComponent="true"
     contextMenuSelect="true">
    <f<colon>facet name="contextMenu">
      <af:popup id="popupEdp" contentDelivery="lazyUncached" popupFetchListener="#{backingBeanScope.backing_entiteUtilisateurTab.popupMenuEdpFetchListener}">
     <af:menu id="m6">
       <af:commandMenuItem id="cmiSupprimerSingleEdpCM"
                     text="Supprimer"
                     disabled="#{pageFlowScope.CurrentEdpRow.NbUti > 0}"
                     actionListener="#{backingBeanScope.backing_entiteUtilisateurTab.actionOpenPopSupEdp}"/>
IN BACKING BEAN : backing_entiteUtilisateurTab
public void popupMenuEdpFetchListener(PopupFetchEvent fetchEvent) {
JUCtrlHierNodeBinding nodeRoot = (JUCtrlHierNodeBinding)this.getTabEdp().getRowData();
Map<String, Object> mpPageFlowScope = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope();
SgtiEdpViewRowImpl row = (SgtiEdpViewRowImpl)nodeRoot.getRow();
mpPageFlowScope.put("CurrentEdpRow", row);
IN MODEL :
public class EdpViewRowImpl extends ViewRowImpl {
    public enum AttributesEnum {
        NbUti {
            public Object get(EdpViewRowImpl obj) {
                return obj.getNbUti();
            public void put(EdpViewRowImpl obj, Object value) {
                obj.setNbUti((BigDecimal)value);
    public static final int NBUTI = AttributesEnum.NbUti.index();
    public BigDecimal getNbUti() {
        return (BigDecimal)getAttributeInternal(NBUTI);
    public void setNbUti(BigDecimal value) {
        setAttributeInternal(NBUTI, value);
}Thank you

Although it's probably not the cause of your problem, you should not be sticking a ViewRowImpl into page flow scope, the reason being is that ViewRowImpl is not Serializable, and page flow scope is a map in session scope. Does it work if you put the attribute into page flow scope directly?

Re: Retrieve operational attributes

Dear all,
Do you have any concrete Java program example using standard Java API provided by JDK1.3.1 to retrieve the operational attributes of a entry stored in Sun One Directory Server?
Thanks!
Calvin

There is no "+" pseudo attribute name that will retrieve all operational attributes in an entry, like OpenLDAP has. You must specify all of the operational attributes you want to get back in your search attribute list. If you need to get a list of all possible operational attributes, you have to query the schema - the attribute definition will tell you if the attributeType is operational.

How to retrieve url attributes in a bsp ?

Hi,
I would like to create a BSP and then to be able to get and use an attribute from an url in it. Below an example because i think i'm not clear enough:
I create a bsp ztest. And i want to access to this bsp with the following url:
http(s)://
Then, in the bsp i want to retrieve the parameter pmsgnb to be able to use it.
Is this possible ? How can i do that ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Stéphane.

Hi Stef,
because you are just starting out with ABAP I would like to give you a few tips. You may of course already know about some of this.
When in that ABAP editor you can hit F1 at any time to get online help on the ABAP language. This is context-sensitive so if you place your cursor on an ABAP statement F1 will take you to the online help for that statement. The online help often contains sample syntax so you can see how to use the statements in your code.
Inside the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80) you can navigate to Environment->Examples to see a lot of ABAP coding samples with supporting documentation. For example under "Environment->Examples->ABAP Examples->ABAP Database Access->Open SQL->Read data" are over 20 sample programs showing various ways of retrieving data from the database.
If possible go on an Introduction to ABAP training course. If not, at least buy some books on the subject. The ones that are published most recently will be more focused towards object-oriented programming and so they are more relevant than the older ones which tend to focus on SAPGUI programming and reporting.
When learning the ABAP language remember that BSP is a special use-case for ABAP and therefore has characteristics and behaviours that are unique to it. Essentially BSP combines two different development techniques - namely ABAP and the web.
In the SDN forums it is not a great idea to ask too many "newbie" questions. For a while you will get responses but later on the useful people will put you on their "do not respond" list. When using the SDN forums make sure you search for an anwser to your problem before posting, make sure you post in the correct forum and beware the "points junkies". These people just blast you with a huge copy and paste from their "knowledge base" in the hope you will allocate them points. They often don't really bother to read your question.
For your specific issue I think the INTO clause needs to come before the WHERE clause.
Try..
SELECT GUID FROM CRMD_ORDERADM_H INTO ls_guid_ticket WHERE PROCESS_TYPE = pmsgnb.
Your question does raise another issue. You should try and avoid directly reading, and especially updating, the SAP database tables. This is how traditional ABAP programmers had to work, but contemporary SAP developments expose persistent data through classes, methods, function modules, etc. When trying to manipulate SAP data you should always try and find the proper way to do it, the way SAP does it, rather than directly accessing the database. This ensures you process any configured "business rules" that apply to that data, makes your program more maintainable, and minimised the chances of other changes to the system effecting the reliability of your program.
By way of example, lets say you wanted to change a user's class to 'TESTER'. You could write code to directly modify the field CLASS in the table USR02 to do this. But the correct way to do it would be to call the BAPI for this purpose, like this.
username = 'MUSTER'.
logondata-class = 'TESTER'.
logondatax-class = 'X'.
call function 'BAPI_USER_CHANGE'
      exporting
          username          = username
          LOGONDATA         = logondata
          LOGONDATAX        = logondatax
     tables
           return           = return .
Now, if SAP change the data model for user master records in any way you can be sure that your code will still work because they will also maintain the standard interfaces to the data model, in this case the suite of BAPI_USER* function modules.
The other by-product of this strategy is that you maximise code-reuse and minimise the amount of code you have to write. Of course sometimes direct database access is unavoidable, even with the latest SAP delivered code. For example I am currently working for a customer in the Auto industry and I have found the SAP delivered code around Warranty Claims to be so inefficient that I have to use direct database access to get reasonable performance.
I hope this helps you. Good luck with your ABAP.
Cheers
Graham Robbo
